Will Farming Pay?
Written by citizen OF the Twelfth Dis

Written by citizen OF the Twelfth Dis
trict of Harden an County.
will farming pay ?" now is the cry,
If it will not, please tell me why
have labored hard in cold and wet
And nos I'm all over in debt.
What I. do now, cannot tell;
owe so much and nothing to sell;
have but one shoat, he's hard to beat,
The others fell off, but he'll do to eat q.
Here is my horse, liked to forgot;
You have him to whip to make him
trot;
He is a good one hitched to pillow,
But to get TODD for him I don't know
how.
made good crop, of the wrong seed
To give a horse to increase his speed;
labored hard all the grass to kill,
Now here am with nothing still.
Here is the tariff RICH in the way,
And the farmer they tell me has it to
pay;
If they all have nothing like me,
How they will get it cannot see.
Here are the children crying for bread,
Which makes me almost wish was
dead;
The old COW is dry and don't come up,
And of this good stuff they don't get
a sup.
My wife, she goes without any shoes,
The neighbors say have the blues
would be glad if some one would say
The true reason Is that farming will
not pay.
If you should tell speak forth the truth
1t may be advice to all the youth,
The children now are the ones to teach
Advice to me is 100 late to reach.

Down Where the Fires Rage.

From the San Francisco Argonsut
Prof. Jones answers On an English news
paper) the question raised as to whether the
tapping and drilling Of the earth for oil that is
going on in America is dangerous or not-that
is to say, likely to let out the thermal fires Of
the earth to play havoc with the surface far
and near. He compares the earth to balloon
foated and kept distended by the gas in the in
terror, which, if exhausted, will cause the crust
to collapse, affect the motion Of the earth in Its
orbit, cause it to lose its place among the
heavenly bodies and fall in pieces Another
writer thinks that drilling should be prohibited
by stringent laws. The scientist SAYS an i'm
mense cavity exists, and that here the gas is
stored; that mile below the bottom Of the
cavity is mass Of roaring seething fame
which is gradually eating into the rock floor of
the cavern and thinning it. Eventually the
flames will reach the gas and a terrific explosion
will ensue. The simile of the earth being like
balloon is not very solid Why not weigh the
earth and settle the question of solidity? The
scientist can weigh the sun and moon; the
figures are long, but the result is worth the
trouble.
