The Farmers Duty.

A New Hampshire farmer urges that
at no time in the history of this country
was the tiller of the soil so dissatisfied
with his vocation, and SO much mental,
moral, and financial pressure felt. AS
for the past six months or more there
has been an abundance Of soil produc-
ton all around him, which is very
pleasant when compared in amount to
what we can use for home consumption;
but the surplus to exchange for debts or
money seems to be almost Valucless.
No sale, no market satisfactory, COM

frauds, legislative preference sounding

migrate the Swedes, increase produc-
ton. with unjust and double taxation;
and now come the assessors, preparing
the way for another tax. Every acre of
land, every domestic animal. cash on
hand, debts due, including notes,
deposits in bank, checks and
drafts, make out the inventory. Hold
up your hand and tell the truth, let
what may come. All this is enough to
make a saint quail sometimes. Farms
are not infreqUently deprecated to the
mortgage line. No wonder the farmer
feels depressed at times. But he must
not look back. He must silently grid
on his armor. The farmer feeds the
world, with the aid of the sea. Then
as the old sun Of spring enters April,
seeming more brilliant than ever, farm
ers should enter into new resolutions.
Strike for immediate, well-digested
plans. Strike with industry and econo-

animal and plant nutrition, soil fertility,
the cheapening of production and tie
markets prepared for competition.
Study hygiene; keep from "heart-fail-
ure," which doctors so frequently an
nounce is the cause of death-for there
is no pleasure upon the farm for an in
valid. Our farms are upon our hands.
Many have and know no other life bust
ness. To sell the farm would be ruinous.
Then form every legitimate resolve to
conquer and die.

him two. Of course there are farms
where speciality farming would not be
wise. In q new country, or where mar
ket facilities were wanting, one had
better raise what he wants himself, per-
haps. Forty years ago this was neces-
sarv here; but it is all different now.
Most farmers in Ohio, to-day, can grow
what their land is best adapted to and
find market. Ny potatoes, last year,
were sold in Connecticut, New York and
Pennsylvania mostly, and my wheat in
Kentucky. Times are changing, and the
man who still adheres to the old way
must not expect to make much. Tolllus-
trate: plant potatoes with a machine, an
acre in less than two hours, and dig it
with another machinein about the same
time. | have every tool and conven-
fence for growing potatoes cheaply and
handling them at small cost. We make
a business of it and can afford all this.
Now what chance has the common
mixed farmer, with his two or three
acres tended in the old way in competi
ton with me? From makinga speciality
of the business, for many years we have
been able to reduce the cost of produc-
ton about one-half. We can make
large profits right along, while the man
who grows few, as his father did, will
get poorer and poorer. What is true of
potato growing is more or less true in
other lines of farming What are you
going to do about it? Adhere to old
ways, good in their day, and keep your
nose on the grindstone, or manage in a
business-like way, up to the times, and
get the profits that other business men
get out of a division of labor?

From the New York Mirror.
Once upon time, in one of ourouter
courts of Paradise, an Angel was dis
pensing gifts to the theatrical profession.
Many Of the actors present asked for
things which they had desired earnest
ly, such as;
The center Of the Stage.
The genius of Booth.
The Beauty of Anderson.
The friendship if critic.
And the Angel gave each his choice
from large table where the gifts were
displayed. At last it was the English
actors turn to choose.
II want this he said, and he picked
up round object from the table and
was walking away.

know you have wanted that for a long
time, but you can't have it. Guess

Then the English actor dropped
it with a thud which was dull and nau-
seating.

A Too conscientious Bookbinder.
From the Lewiston Journal!


There is such thing as doing piece
of work too thoroughly, as the following
incident shows: A Portland lady had a
large family Bible that had belonged to
her husbands mothef, and which both
highly priced For twenty years they
travelled q good deal, and always
took this Bible with them. Each SIM
day, on returning from church, the lady
wrote in the margin of this Bible opposite
the passage that had formed the preach
er's text, the name of the minister ana
Of the town or city where the sermon
was given; also brief comments. a few
months ago the couple came to Portland,
and as, the Bible was coming from the
binding, it was taken to bookbinder's
to be repaired It's difficult to imagine
the owners feelings when on again re-
ceiying the book she found that the
bookbinder had not only cut down the
previously wide margin fully one half
but had carefully gone through the book
and erased nearly all the work Of the
lady's pencil during all these years.
The book looked better, no doubt, but
to the owner it was irreparably spoiled.

CnltiXatinc Orchards


The following good hints are from the
Western Rural:
For at least three years cultivate the
young orchard. We have often said
that if you desire to grow crop of APP
pies you must give the crop something
of the care you give to other crops.
We have seen orchards planted in a
grass field and left to grow while the
ground was occupied by the grass. We
never saw good orchard grown in that
way, however. Plant the young or
chard in some crop that will not shade
the trees or prevent a full supply Of
moisture. Beans NAV be grown in the
orchards; potatoes may be grown; to-
matoes may be grown. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that in .cultivating an
orchard crop the greatest care must be
taken not to injure the trees. A frisky
horse should never be taken into IL
young orchard. 1t is well, too, to pad
the end of the single tree. After three
or four years of cultivation, the apple
orchard may be put down in grass and
pastured With pigs. There is no doubt
of the advantage derived from letting
swine run in an orchard. AS togthe
kind of grass that should be sown III the
orchard, one of the most experienced
orchardists says that it may be clover,
because it does not form a sod, and the
growth is not heavy in dense shade, and
if pastured moderately close with swine
the orchard will be benefited more by
the droppings of the pigs than damaged
bv the clover. The orchard oughtto be
cultivated, however, about every third

Ren Kinber.

M q
Carl Kleinschmidt was out ON his weekly
visit to the Ben Kimber mine yesterday, To-
Gated about eighteen miles east Of here.
near Placer, and brought in sack Of fine
looking carbonate ore, which had been taken
out of the tunnel just twenty-seven feet
from the surface. An upraise has been
made in the tunnel for air. The tunnel IL
being driven in on the vein and will be con-
tinucd until the shaft is reached, where tho
lead will be developed to depth OF 30 feet.
The present showing Of the Ben Kimber is
most encouraging to the company, and next
week they will ship three car loads Of ore
to Omaha for treatment. The shaft il sixty
two feet deep and several carloads OF ore
have been taken out Of it. This
ore went from twenty-nine to thirty ounces
in silver, carried 50 per cent. lead and II
ounces in gold, which is fine showing and
when connection is made with the shaft
through the tunnel II is confidently ex-
pected that the ore will greatly improve in
value. They now have four solid feet Of
ore and the mine is one that can be devel-
oped very cheaply on account of it's loca-
ton.
The Aqua Frio lode, neighbor of the
Ben Kimber, has been bonded by man
from Wickes for $4,000.

Tho Iron Mountain District.

Mr.. Alph Shipley, we'll known Missoula
county miner, was in Helena yesterday, his
mission being to find ont whether he had a
marble or rock quarry. as the result of u
recent find. He returns satisfied that he
has marble quarry. He brought speci-
men with him, which he had dressed and
polished at the Prescott works, and the
man who did the work says the Mis-
soula product is susceptible to a
finer finish than the Italian, ia more
easily worked, and of finer grain.
The sample which Mr.. Shipley brought to
Helena was simply cropping. and if de-
velopment, which will be actively pushed,
should prove the quarry to be all predicted,
it will be one of the best paying properties

The Castle District.

A valued correspondent writes from Cas-
tie as follows regarding the progress and
development of properties in that promis-
ing young camp:
1.-THE total cross.cut of ore in the new
Cumberland strike up to Saturday night
last was II feet and the ore body had not
then been crossed, Thus developed. the
Cumberland stands to-day the largest lead
and silver mine in the known world. With
it's present development it is capable of pro-
ducing 100 tons of ore per day for five years;
and when the hosting of the ore begins it
is safe to estimate that the mine will de-
clare dividend of Is cents per share
monthly for this entire length of time.
Or, with little more development, we
might estimate that there is ore enough
in the mine in sight to furnish 200 tons
per day for two and half years, which
would insure dividend of SO cents per
share monthly for the entire time. This
estimate is regarded as very conservative,
ment of the property that even greater e.
suits than we predict will be accomplished.
The tonnage of lead which is insured is
simply immense while the silver value will
be something great. The work of develop
ment will be suspended in manner soon
while the new hoist is being put in place;
but the mine as it stands at this writing is
without parallel"
Amongst the other properties which are
deserving of more than passing notice may
be named the Yellowstone, Judge, Legal
Tender and Powderly. The Yellowstone is
in tie hands of the bears at present and
stock has deprecated from $3.50 to 81, but
this property is looking better as develop
ment proceeds and stockholders have no
cause for alarm in these as permanent
figures.
The Legal Tender, as development goes
on, is proving even better than was ex-
pected by its incorporators and in the near
future will be,among the leading producers
of the camp. Their new steam hoist will
soon be in place, giving them additional
facilities for development.
The Judge has recently been reincorpo-
rated and work but recently begun, but
previous development had demonstrated
this to be one of the safest investments in
the district.
The L. V. Powderly is developing into a
fiast-class property, though but little is
being said of it by its owners. A rich vein
has recently been exposed, am in
formed, that is equal to any yet discovered
in the camp. This is spoken of as one of
the most promising properties in the dis
trict. Stock is strong at 2h cents, the hold
ers of which feel confident that the Pow
DERBY will be worth SO cents when the
present ore body is tapped by the tunnel,
now being in EGO feet.
