A Farmer on Farming

A farmer, who evidently thorough
ly understands his business writes to
the Fargo Argus rs follows: These
years of drouth have laid Il heavy
hand on Dakota farmers. but to those
who read its lesson Alright and are not
too heavily encountered to keep their
heads above the swelling tide of debt,
this crop future is a blessing. Like
many lessons IL bitter one. but all the
more pregnant with future hope, us
it sears the lesson deep. Years ago
Illinois farmers tried the single crop
system and failed. Iowa's early set
tiers followed in her footsteps, and
where to-day are her farmers who de-
pended on wheat alone! They are
gone-under. High prices and the
favorble years that conceded OH OAK
ota's first settlement led the people
who tlocked in, lured by the golden
promises she held forth, into the
same disastrous course. Farmers
plunged recklessly into debt, depend
ing on a succession of good crops and
continued high prices to help them
out and OH to the highway Of fortune.
Nothing but wheat was thought of:
the small, economies that OH II farm,
more than in any other business tells
were despised. Then came the sud-
den fall of prices, followed by crop
failures, and brought to Il sudden halt,
with ruin staring them in the face,
farmers began casting about to find a
means of averting it. The extrava-
gances that characterized too many
of the expenses were cut off. Stock
raising received attention that it
never had before; diversified farming
began to he practiced and people be-
gan to see that those who had gone
slow, made everything however petty
pay, and had kept out of debt, were
really the successful farmers, though
in many cases humble ones. And it
is along these Zines that people then
began to work and on which nearly
every successful farmer to-day is
working. Success must come to the
farmers of Dakota us to those of
other states. These lessons were nee.
essary to the solid progress of the
people and came none too soon, for
had they come later the ruin would
have been deeper and more wide
spread and harder to recover from.
Dakota has room for hundreds of
thousands of people still, and as they
come they will profit by the lessons
so bitterly learned by early settlers.
and avoiding their mistakes reap the
bounteous returns that Dakota's
prairies yield to those who know how
to garner them.
No legitimate business can pay the
interest that in years of crop depres-
sion Dakota farmers are paying, and
largely through their own indiscre-
tion. The writer, aside from person.
al experience, has talked with many
intelligent farmers and all agree that
with the experience gained, the last
two years could have been easily
w%eathered by almost every farmer
and many have made money had not
they been loaded down with debt CON
tracted in the previous reckless years.
When Dakota again has the seasons
and crops that she has had in the
past, in addition to the cattle, horses
and sheep that she has been acquir-
ing these last few years, her farmers,
knowing how to appreciate and care
for her bounty will he second in pros.

a Description of the Boarding Houses Par

 Life in corporation boarding house has bGt few attractions to the more in telligemt factory operatives When he enters the portals of that place he finds that his personal and individual liberty Is considerably abridged. One of the first things that attracts his at teltiOn. and which the old tramp weaver invariably looks for and ex. poets to see, is a copy of the rules of the house, which ranks next to the rules of the mill ill importance.
 These rules are strictly enforced and ihS boarder, whether male or female. Trho refuses 10 be governed by them has no hope of industrial salvation there or i'll any other corporation boarding house. \ note to the mill from the boarding house boss is all that IS required and the recalcitrant board nr is discharged from his work and must leave the boarding house as well Discipline Is as much requisite for the good management of the corpcra iou boarding house as for the conduct of any other business.
 As a rule the factory operatives who are to be found in the corporation boarding houses are weavers. Weav CTS are more given to wandering from place to place than any other class of factory help and a confirmed wanderei IS tramp weaver, a fellow feared and deSpised by all classes of factory peo pie. flo the tramp weaver a months stay at one place Is about as much as he can bear. He never works when he has dollar in his pocket, and he would not work at any tim did not the poor farm stare him in the face Between being a tramp weaver and tOlling on the state farm, there Is but one step, and that an easy one. Given amonth's steady work and two weeks pay in his hand, the tramp experiences tremendously uneasy sensation. He must be on the road again. He draws .he balance due him, and IS willing to sacrifice the three days forfeit for leaving without notice, folds his one and only pair of stockings and one shirt in a small bundle, and departs The place then knows him no more Tor perhaps several years.

In rare cases a boarder Nlll remain for year or possibly two, and the boarder who does that can be regarded as a saver of money. IIi one corporation boarding house the report CT visited, which is near Olneyville, there are several female boarders who have made no change for several years. and today they are together worth several thousands of dollars.

Rube,s obitusr, Notice.

Ten o'clock in the building of the big city paper. The electric lights are burning and the whirl of presses and click of types make busy scene. Edi- tors. reporters, proofreaders are busy preparing the days doings for the nor row.
 The door of the chiefs office Is pushed carelessly open, and a blue eyed, flaxen haired maiden of six sum- mers and as many winters enters. No body saw her climb the stairs or walk through the hall. She is ragged, dirty and has been crying.
 ''Is you the editor man"
 "Yes, little one; what can do for youi"
 "Rube is dead, an I thought maybe you'd like to tell about it." . "Who is Rubcl"
 "Why, didn't you ever hear of Rube2"
 You see, there are so many people that I can't know them all"
 The big, bearded man was actually ashamed of his ignorance.
 But Rube wasn't peOple-he was my brother. He sold papers an blacked boots and all that. He wasn't very rich, an ma said the city man would bury him-but he was good to me-"
 Do you sell papers, tool"
 No, I stayed home, but Rube brought me candy dogs an candy roosters, and licked bad boys that made me cry. An if you'd tell folks how. good he was, maybe they'd think bettGr of him."
 What do you want me to say, little one2"
 "Why, that he was 12 years old an was helpin' mother an'-Oh, 1 don't know-but member he was always good ter me-"
 Before the little mourner left the office she was the recipient of a hand ful of coins donated by ''the boys" 0l the office, and the big editor ordered the janitor to accompany her home.
 Thus it happened that the readers of the great paper were mildly aston ished to read on the mornings local page:

Another Pioneer Gone.

James F. Hancock died this morning at o'clock at the residence of 4. J. Da- vidson, his brother in-law. He was 73 years old and has been in failing health for several months. Slowly but surely the old Pioneers are voyaging on beyond the silent river, and but few more years all that will be left will be the monument of a prosperous country, ard a happy and intelligent people founded by their early hardshlps and perils. To such men as Mir. Hancock, < rizona owes much. and as they pass away they take with them the love of all who knew them. Of such men are heroes made. Men who knew how to endure patiently and with fortitude, the perils and priva tions which fall to the lot of the pioneer in all new lands; men who by their in domitable energy and courage, con quer the wilderness and people the de- sert; men who are the advance guards of civilization, deserve and should re- eel at our hands the greatest respect Let us then keep the memory of such men always green"

EDITOR CITIZEN
 Since purchasing the property on the southeast corner of Stone Avenue, and Ochoa street, less than three years ago, I have expended on it, in taxes, insur- ance, and Improvements, over S1000 in cash, endaavoring to beautify and en nance tie value of said property, and by so doing I have antagonized the city authorities, who think it incumbent up- on them to undo and discourage such improvements by changing a street line, that they had previously established and now propose to tear down the fences placed nearly two feet inside of the line as drawn by the city surveyor, in the pursuance of an order of the street committee. It would seem from the ap- pearance of much of the property in Tucson, that it needed the enourage- ment of not only private citizens, but authorities, instead of interference, prompted by petty spite.
