New HanpshlPe's Deserted
Farms.

A speaker at meeting of the New
Hampshire State Board of Agricul-
tnre recently said that, BY persistent
snFk Of ths commissioner" for the
past year or two, las aba ndoned farms
have been sold and 100 others leased
to tenant farmers.
This makes 3O5 farms occupied, out
of the 1342 abandoned ones in the
state. When it is considered that over
1000 abandoned farms remain, all, we
believe having tenantable buildings
upon them, the persistent work" of
the commissioner cannot be regarded
as a great success. Even those farms
that have been occupied, it is UNDER
stood, have been taken by a poor class
of emigrants from the north of Eu-
rope. The speaker saw one hopeful
sign in the fact that wealthy men had
purchased few Of the farms and
turned them into deer parks!
This problem of deserted farms i'm
New England deserves more serious
study than it has yet received from
economists and statesmen. What is
the cause? What is the cure ?-Bos-

Henest Advice To Honest Hen.
TO the Farmers Alliance and Un-
ions:
Your cause is just.
For years yoa have been cheated
out Of your earnings for the benefit of
party leaders and the monopolies that
have been created by the old parties to
your detriment.
Union in an Alliance for political
and progressive purposes, you can
form new party and clothe this coun-
try anew with evidences of prosperity
and the comforts, beauties, happiness
and health Of all your homes.
There is no law as yet passed by
congress to prevent forming q new
party that will discard the bad things
Of the old parties and bring benefits to
all who produce wealth.
The present political parties, the
Democratic and Republican, are cor.
rupt, and unworthy to be preserved or
continued in power.
You can make new party that will
be better than any that has preceded
it.
You can unite as cultivators of the
soil-which should belong to those
who cultivate 1t rather that to aliens
and usures.
You can think Of matters that will
benefit you and cause improvements
to follow your political action.
You have the same right to form and
control political party as have pawn
brokers, bankers, liquor-dealers and
all who live by schemes that rob labor
of its reward.
There is no reason why your house
should not be painted, your farms i'm
proved, your children educated, and
yourselves and families have more
rest, travel more and see the world,
and thus enjoy the fruits of your in
dustry now taken by unjust, excessive,

We have temporized enough. We
have been betrayed enough, plumber
ed enough. Let no citizen, no voter,
no victim of this monstrous system of
fraud and force be longer content with
his servitude and his nakedness!
We want no palliatives and nursery
antidotes. We want no milk and wa
ter compromises, no half remedies.
We want no mandlin reform which
patches but does not mend, which SUI
gar-coats symptoms and leaves the
real disease concealed but not cured
We want no Clays or Calhouns to
suggest and urge cowardly trust with
this cerebus of capital. But we want
and we demand q substantial reversal,
= complete overthrowing Of the pres
ent system, and the establishment ofa
republic as All industrial solidarity, in
all the glory of Defferson's immortal
inspiration, "equal rights to all, spec
ial privileges to none."
Labor demands justice and not
charity; it asks not for aims but for
its own. And its own it will have.
But it must seek earnestly for its lost
inheritance and act consistently.
If, finally, it implores what remedy ?
1 answer, with plainness, there is no
remedy until the people first awake
from false and fatal repose and con-
front the reality Of their dangers.
Mistaken security is the open door to
ruin. If this people would beSs.froe"
they must cease playing with freedom,
and cease amusing themselves witA
popular decisions. When the people
rise 10 true sense Of their dangers
and duties OF the hour; when they
realize the iniquitous designs and des-
potic tendencies Of corporate wealth;
when they cease voting for candidates
pledged to represent class interests
rather than public interests; when
they adopt new Independent action
in the name of honest and equitable
government; when by the ballot pow
er, they crush beneath their heels po-
litical Bismarkism and legislative bull
lionism, and make the industry of the
nation the nations business, then, and
not TIL then, will they enjoy their in
heritance Of liberty and Justice

FIGURING out mans pile from the
size of his income is very taIacious
method of ascertaining his true
wealth. 1t makes mighty sight of
difference if a mans 800, 900 income is
the outcome of five per cen or twenty
five per cent on his inves tment. The
rule is to figure the pile about TWEEN ty-
five times the income and it is very

The AMERICAN SPIRIT.
It Has Developed Love for Freedom
All Over the Globe.

i
All Over the Globe.
AS the human race have moved along
down the centuries, the vigorous and
ambitious, the dissenters from blind
obedience and the original thinkers, the
colonists and State builders, have broken
camp, with the morning, and followed
the sun until the close of day. They
have tarried for ages in fertile valleys
and beside great streams; they have
been retarded by barriers Of mountains
and seas beyond their present resources
to overcome; but as the family grewinto
the tribe, the tribe into the nation, and
equal authority into the despotism of
courts and creeds, those who possessed
the indomitable and unconquerable
spirit of freedom have seen the promise
flashed from the clouds in the glorious
rays of the sinking orbs of day, and first
with despair and courage, and then with
courage and hope, and lastly with faith
and prayer, they have marched West
ward. In the publication and trials OF
wandering and settlement they have
left behind narrow and degrading laws,
traditions, customs, and castles, un-
til now, as the Occident faces the Orient
across the Pacific, and the globe is cir
cled, at the last stop and in their per-
manent home the individual is the basis
of government, and all men are equal
before the law. The glorious example
OF the triumphant success of the people
governing themselves fans the feeble
spirit of the eiTote and exhausted Asia
tic with the possibilities of the replant-
ing of tho Garden of Eden and the restor-
alton of the historic grandeur of the
birthplace of mankind. 1t is putting
behind every bayonet which is carried
at the order of Bismarck or the Gar men
who, in doing their own thinking, will
one day decide for themselves the prob
lem of peace and war. l. will penetrate
the breeding-places of Anarchy and
Socialism. and purify them. From Ora

THE TWO BROTHERS.
Oid-Time Rocks That Recall Valiant wi

Old-TIme Rocks That Recall Valiant Win
throp and Dudley.
On the east bank of the Concord river,
within the limits of the ancient town of
Bedford, may be seen two powders,
which for historic significance far ex-
ceed many monuments of New England
unadorned by art.
They were doubtless deposited here
later were selected by John Winthrop,
the eminent first Governor of Massa-
chusetts, and Deputy Governor Dudley
as the boundaries to their farms.
In 1857 the General Court, then so
liberal with the unexplored lands,
granted to the Governor 1900 acres and
to the deputy 1,O00 acres. These emil
nent men came up TO view the lands and
locate their farms in the following
spring.
After short conversation they landed
from their birch canoe and took posses
sion of their lands.
BY the incorporation of bedford, 1923,
the Winthrop farm came wholly within
the town and by an addition of territory,
in 1866, part of the Dudley farm fell to
Bedford.
Thus the "Two Brothers" belong to
Bedford. They remain unchanged by
the hand of time or man, though eight
generations have moored their boats at
the base when padding up and down
the Concord.
Thoreau was frequent visitor to this
spot in his studies of he historic river,
af lad 20 ho,
stood in peaceful mission on the surface
OF the powders as did Winthrop and
Dudley 252 years ago.
The tired city boys often pitch their
tent on Winthr p farm, and revel in the
luxury of quiet at the Two Brothers,
with an occasional meal of bass or pick
eral from the Concord.
The founder of Boston did not settle
upon his farm, and it is probable that
his early death in 1649 prevented sec
ond visit.
1t was purchased by Job Lane of Fitz
John Winthrop in 1864 for e230. and paid
for by building home at New London,
Conn.
The purchaser located upon it with
other members of his family and built
garrison for their protection from the
Indians during King Phillips war, in
which he bore prominent part At mis-
decease (1697), the farm, found by sur
vey, to contain 1900 acres, was divided
betwsen son, John Lane, and two
grandsons, Samu,l Fitch and Matthew
Whipple.
Fitch became the founder OF the nu-
and through the country. n
In the pleasant village of Bedford
may be seen valuable collection of an
tiquities and relics Of the Lane family,
gathered by descendant of Job Lane,
who purchased the Winthrop farm and
drst subdued its acres.
There is also the deed of conveyance
of the farm from Fitz John Winthrop to
Job Lane. 1t is ON vellum, we'll pre-
served and legible. Boston Globe.

weight it down or arrange spring to
hold it down. A light spout (b) conveys
the water from the barrel to the water
trough. This spout is balanced at b SO
as to act as lever. The float (c), a
piece of scantling, is hung to one end of
the lever by a leather strap; the other
end of lever is provided with peg to
lift the valve in the barrel and permit
water to flow when the level is lowered
by the water being drank out of the
trough. The trough is about four
inches deep and wide and eighteen
inches long, including the part contain

paratively nothing and works as satis-
factorily as one costing six dollars. I
