The movement of the young people
| from the farms to the towns and
cities is a modern social symptom
which is popularity believed to be pc
culiar to New England and the older
Eastern states. But the new census
is fast demonstrating that the same
drift is already apparent in the re
giOn west of the Allegheny noun
tains. In Indiana, for instance,
Grant county, which lies midway be
tween Fort Wayne and Indianapolis,
has had i'll ten years Il gain of 1897
in population. But when the figures
are examined it appears that 6469 of
this increase has taken place in the
| towns, while many of the rural dis
| tricts actually exhibit a decrease.
''Ah, theiniquitOus protective TARIFF
our free trade friends will say. "How
it Expresses and impoverishes the
! farmers. " But this is only another
| instance in which the fI.ee-traders
| generalize from incomplete data AS
IL matter of fact, as the census also
demonstrates, the productiveness of
the farm lands in Grant county has
! doubled in a decade, and their value
| has trebled. The editor of the lead
ing paper in the county says that
more money than ever is being spent
in roads and drains and other public
! improvements, and that since 1870
| 1905 900 acres of land have been
brought under cultivation This is
the EDITORS explanation of the fact
/ h. al :,
come larger:
Now there are scores of farmers
who each own a section and more of
! highly cultivated land, which former
! ly supported a colony, but is now
farmed by a single family with hired
| help. Improved farm machinery,
stumpless fields and better drainage,
| railroad and convenience of markets,
reduce expenses and increase produc-
! ton. The ambitious farmer of small
means emigrates to some western
state where land}is cheaper. 1t is
said that there is a Grant county
farmer in every county in Kansas
The prosperous Indiana farmers
sons, instead of stEking to the land
cities, where they ncy life is less mo-
notonous and easier. The experience
of this typical county of Indiana
and the situation in Ohio is said to
be much the SAG e-should help to
disabuse people of the notion that
the drift to the city from the farm
and the decline in thenumber of farm
holdings is a condition to be found
only in New England. In the course
of time there may come a reaction,
and the tide may set the other way.
Young men may seek the free life of
the farm as a relief from the sitting
air and crowding and fierce cOmpe-
titiOn of the cities. But the present
tendency is the exact opposite of
that, and it is not peculiar to this
state, or this section. or this coun-
try. 1t is a tendency which is felt on
the other side of the sea, and is about
equally marked in protective France
and Germany and free trade Britain.

Farmers Must Be Business Men.

Farmers Must Be Business Men.
The farmer who would make a
practical success of farming must re-
gard it as just as much of a business
as the buying and selling of dry
goods and groceries; and to his fail
ure to do so must beattributed some
of the agricultural failures that have
discouraged many farmers in recent
years.
In old times the farmer kept his set
OF books the same as the merchant
but for reasons difficult to under
stand, this very business-like and
wise practice has been almost wholly
abandoned, so that the average far
me- could not tell the exact cost of
production of any crops
Let the farmer enter in his book the
labor, manure and every other out
lay made on each individual piece of
land, the cost OF seed, the expense of
gathering the crop and that of mar
ketlng 1t, and he may then ascertain
at any time, by reference to his books,
precisely what has been his profit or
loss on each lot of land and each crop
produced; and at the end of each sea-
son he may study the lessons of his
books and from them learn wherein
he has failed and succeeded, and
therefrOm make his calculations for
profitable production in the future.
The farmer must be Il business man
if he would succeed; and. the sooner
he realizes that brain is as essential
as muscle in agriculture, the sooner
will his vocation beraised to the level
of profitable industries Herald.

FREIGHT RATES BY LAKE AND CANAL.
Senator Morill in his recent speech
i'm the senate stated one of the chief
difficulties with which the Vermont
farmer has to contend, when he said
"The cost of freight by railroad OF
corn or wheat from Burlington, Vt,
to Boston for 100 pounds is % cents
or from White River Junction 10
cents. If by carload from Burling-
ton, Is cents, or 12K cents from
White River Junction. These are
very reasonable rates, and yet the
cost of the freight by lake and canal
from Chicago to New York would be
hardly more for two bushels of
corn or wheat than for one from any
place in Vermont to Boston, though
only for 200 miles instead of 1000"

The Democratic papers are all max
ing a great howl and hubbub over the
Federal Election Bill, which they seek
to make OdiOus by calling a Force
Bill, and by wilfully and persistently
misrepresenting its provisions and
intent. They fail, in many instances,
to give the text of the bill to their
readers, even in condensed form,
because if they did it would show it
self to be so fair, just and reasonable
in its provisions and exactions that
no one who really wants a fair vote
and an honest count could find any
fault whatever with it. These Demo-
cratic organs know very well that
this bill would secure a fair and hon
est vote all over the South as well as
other points of the country, but they
fear the result of a fair vote and
count. Hence the opposition and

A MISSIONARIES LIFE.
Heroic Work of an American Woman in
the Wilds of Africa.

In this place, one Of the most uncivil.
lied parts of West Africa, an American
lady is living without white companions
instructing the natives and cheerfully
performing all the duties that devolve
upon her as IA missionary. She is Miss
Martha Kah, of Cheyenne County. Neb.,
and she is the only representative left
of the missionary party established here
by Bishop VIM. Taylor.
Several men were in the party when
it came to Africa, but the trying climate
proved too much for them. The super
intendent of the station, Mr. Steele, was
compelled by i'll health to return to
America last year, and then Mr. Sortore,
of Missouri. and Miss Kah were all who
were left. In April, 1889, Mr.. Sortore
died with African fever and Miss Kah
is now alone, and is far too busy to be
greatly disheartened by the sad events
that have robbed her of all her com
panionS.
Miss Kah superintendent the house
keeping while the others were with her.
and now she is obliged, in addition, to
keep the school going, and to direct the
labors on the plantation. She teaches
school five days evory week if not pre-
vented by sickness, The plantation was
opened by Mr.. Sortore, and on it is
raised considerable manioc, bananas
and coco. 1t is necessary to keep up the
plantation, for Miss Kah, in addition to
her missionary work, must support her
self; the theory of the Taylor missions
being that the missionaries all support
themselves
( 1t is marvellous how economically ILiss
Kah and her recent comrades lived in
this savage part of the world; and yet
