just rs soon as the cream is skinned
of the valleys Of the West by wheat
raising it will pay farmers to grow
wheat in rotation with grass and corn,
and that will be soon. Railroads
have been made into most of the
valleys of the West. and the skimming
process has regularly followed the
railroad. The richest lands will refuse
to raise wheat after wheat forever.
Nature rebels. Disease and insects
stop the overdrafts upon natures
bounty. The wheat wave is
meeting the waters of the Pacific. It
has met the august forests of the
North. 1t is exploiting the dry lati-
tudes of the South. 1t leaves barren
ness in its track. The garnered
wealth of the soil of continent is
being rapidly exhausted. Nor is
wheat the only ravager; cotton and
tobacco are destroying the fields of the
South. The cotton and tobacco raisers
of the Gulf States are now meeting the
wheat growers of the Northwest with
the last great stretch of virgin soil
between the thirtv-sixth and fortieth
parallels. Every valley and plain and
foothill will be sought out and laid
under tribute to raise fifty cent wheat
TO compete with similar valleys, plains
and foothills in the temperate zone of
Asia. No recuperative processes &C
company the wheat Vandals. They
pillow and Plant and harvest till the
soil cries out and refuses to respond,
when the procession of breaking
plows, harrows and reapcrs move on
and attack another piece of'virgin soil.
1t can not last. There is an end to the
deposits in natures banks. From the
Genesce valley to the Willamette, des-
truction has stalked. 1t has nearly
completed its work. The man with
the COW and calf and milk pail, with
the sheep and her lambs, with the
mare and her foal, with the SOW and
her pigs, with a recuperative system,
must follow or the land goes back to
woods as in the South and New En-
gland, to weeds and poverty as many a
Western farm has COMO. Legitimate de-
partmental farming will pay better
when this disorganizing force subsidies.
They were like the pothunters of the
territories who killed the game for the
the game was all dead
their occupation was gone. But the
world wants wheat. Where is it to
como from? Lands. in old farming
have raised great crops of
wheat for centuries, but they are not
sown with wheat every year. A crop
OF wheat is taken off suitable lands
once in five or more years. We can
do that in Iowa, but we can not sell
the wheat for fifty cents bushel. We
doubt If wheat is ever as low again as it
has been. 1t depends Of course. on the
degree of exhaustion to which Western
lands have been reduced. They NAV
hold out for some years yet, but the
indications are that the volume of
wheat current can not DO maintained
on the present system. The Iowa
farmer can raise wheat when it must
be had and the price will warrant.
The old pasture will produce it. where
tie COWS and sheep and mare and the
sow grazed. but those must precede.
This is natures etiquette. Iowa State

(By the author of Farewell and "Regret."

As man just wounded bleeding, feels another
singing blow,
Growing all his pain with anguish, oozing
out his hearts blood slow,
So held paper to me-read with dazzled,
startled eye,
Words before me growing vivid, cold and
cruel words-''Reply."
Crumpled in my hands the psper--lines all
glowing as il fame
SPECIFICS there stood aud suHered-sutfered
torture without name,
Then the hour of trial present, past, yes past
the lovely dream,
Sunlight into shadows thickened and the
world ali darker seemed.
Prior years, sometimes how lonelyl lived
| many seasons through,
Hosts Of friends to greet me gladly, but one
blessing needed too,
Oft longed for some sweet fair one, to my
gloomy life come
For tbs written Ills not fitting that man
should live alone.
But the wish seemed all vain longing, and
plod my weary way,
Quiet was my home at evenings, no one there
to bid me stay,
And my soul grew lonesome--heartsck, prayed
though weakly PRAYER
For spirit kind congenial, for loving heart
to cheer.
And sou came-your light steps bounding,
dark and mild your brilliant eyes,
As an angel, that had wandered, too far down
ward from the skies!
beheld- my prayer seemed answered, found
a farer form than Eve
As gazed loves first, wild throbbngs, from
my melting heart were breathed
Bright the dream wove around thee-bright
Is, the thought nf future days,
Gretce and beauty in your movements, perfect
seemed your WANING ways.
Almy hours before so lonely now were gilded
softly Ger,
For The thoughts Of you my idol, pleasant
made them, dull before.
But one day gloomy shadow fell across my
happy WV,
You had turned back from my pleading, told
me firm and gently 'nay,"
Then my heart grew sick within me, and
uttered Que low cry,
There the answer law before me- there the
singing blow 'Reply."
And you chlie me that love you, call me
womans weakly slave,
At the shrine where have worshipped, other
hearts more noble, brave
Since the world began her journey, have their
best Of treasures laid
Man should not he bam. Il so harshly for

Aud ms sin, | know | f.ltercd, weakly as
sid b + re,
But forgiveness begged of you, for my sin
nv heart was sore.
Lightly dselt you 0" my trouble, "without
thee cannot live"
For We live not if existence means to one to
sleep and breathe.
On my life will flow as ever, Eaiiled, duiier in
its stream,
Days that never shone too brightly now will
all the sa1der seem,
For my lites great JOY was 6eeting, and my
limos. prayer was vain
must bear till time most kindly helps, to
soothe my spirits pain.
And tbs over-in the heaven where you say
the poets dwell,
May we meet again lost darlng-where we all
will love so Welt
Till that hour when We gather, one long, long
and last goodbye,

Racing The young men of Mis- vicinity
Who ale fond of horse racing, and who backed
up their beliefthat the Digges horse could not
be beaten by any horse in the neighborhood,
were all very sore on Friday last. They went OUT
to see race run between their favorite and
the Barnes iuare, confident that he would be
an easy winner, but to their establishment
when the horses started the mare took the
lead and kept it to the finish, coming out an
easy winner by two lengths. Barnes, after
his victory, concluded that his mare could
vanqulsh some of the flyers at Benedict, en-
tered her against Slye.s, Mary Ann. The
race was run on Monday and resulted in the
defeat of the Barnes mare. "The race is not
always to the swift"

II PAYS to Raise Good stneL

1t Pays to Raise Good Stock We
have repeatedly striven to show that farming
and stock raising, properly conducted, will
pay in Charles county as well as elsewhere.
The principal difficulty ia the way, Is, that the
same old worn out system Of farming Is prac-
ticed, and not much, if any effort, Is ever
made to raise improved horses or cattle There
are a few notable instances where changes
from the old style have worked greatly to the
advantage of those who had the enterprise and
intelligence to make them. Now and then
we hear of good sale made for horse raised
in Charles county, but he was not of The
broom sage" variety. Only few days ago
Mr.. Robert l.. Davis sold to Baltmoas mer-
chant, young horse, Tankervlle stokk, for
the sum of three hundred dollars. cost
Mr.. Davis no more to raise the animal han il
would have cost to raise one of an iifrior
breed. As we have always contended if the
of our people is ever improved, the
Young men must do it, by breaking away
and entirely disregarding the present ystem
of farm culture and farm products, 7hich,
in nearly every particular, is identical with
that in vogue when their grandfathers billed
the soil with labor whose only cost was {loth-
ing and feed.
