The Homestead thinks the prac-
tlce of dividing up good, large
pasture into small ones, pasturing
them in succession, is hardly
profitable. The stock is usually
kept in one OF the small pastures
until 1t is eaten down close and
then turned into fresh one that
has been growing up. The change
from scant food to abundance of
fresh grass of recent growth almost
invariably produces scours and de-
stroys q weeks gain. The small
pasture does not usually offer as
large a variety of grasses as the
large one, and cattle certainly do
better ON variety. The expense
of fencing and keeping the fences in
good repair is also an argument
against the small pasture.

A Good Habit.

EEoIi tHe lAdtHTop mOniCOr
One of the best habits that a
child can acquire is the reading
habit. The practice Of looking
about for book or newspaper when
ever portion Of spare time is found
becomes a habit that cannot be
shaken off. 1t grows into a desire
for knowledge, and becomes pow
er for good if properly directed.
Interest boy in reading good and
useful books, and provide him with
the right class OF literature, and he
will find little time to form low and
debasing associations or cultivate a
love for the life of the saloon and
billiard hall. He will seek his
friends among the great and pure
minds who have put SO much Of
help, encouragement and strength
into the printed pages. Teach your
boy the reading habit. Discourage
any rapid ''skimming," but let him
know the Importance of thinking Of
what he reads. Let the reading
habit grow into an observing habit
and the boy is safe.

have his own way. It is he who

If he comes home late, the dinner
is kept for him, and not one dares
to say q word. If he is in q
good humor, how every one frisks
about and are happyl How the

run to wait upon him! How they
sit up patiently, and how eagerly
they rush out to fetch in cabs in
rain ! Whereas, for you and me,

THE Jefferson City Tribune, re-
ferring to the late wake which was
held at Pertle Springs, this State,
makes the following editorial CON-
ments:
And so it seems that we are to
have third party in Missouri.
Its effects will be probated some
time in November, 1892.
The Pertle Springs convention
has endorsed the sub-treasury
scheme. Now the question is, who
will endorse the Pertle Springs
convention?
In abandoning the wise advice
of Hon. U. S. Hall, the Pertle
Springs convention struck the
hardest blow that has ever yet
been aimed at the alliance.
The Farmers and Laborers' Un-
ion of this State has made great
mistake in endorsing the sub-treas.
ury scheme. This government
will never be turned into a pawn.

The young women of to-day do

If you doubt, look over any
newsstand from New York to San
Francisco and see what literature
you viii find there. The newsnan
knows what his customers want and
supplies it. And his customers are
mainly young women.
Every book publisher has felt the
effect of this tendency. 1t is no

fects of greater consequence. Our
young women are growing up ig.

them from repairing the fault in
later life. They do not read books
that make them think, and for the
most part they do not want to think.
They want to kill time with the

ring to the Pertle Springs conven-

Farmers Alliance convention in
favor of Leverett Leonard be a
criterion, the agriculturists of Mis-

they have given such faithful ad-

j. T. DUNCAN HURT.
His Horse Falls From Bridge and
Injuries Him Very Badly.

As Riley Brown was going from
his barber shop home last night
he heard the means of some one in
distress lying in the branch, down
near the pottery. He was In COM
pany with Mr.. John Northern and
the two gentlemen hastened to the
spot where the noise came from to
investigate the cause, think
ing 1t was probably a man over
come by intoxication. On investi-
cation it proved to be Mr.. J. T.
DUNCAN with a horse lying partly
on him, both being unable to get
up. Mr.. DUNCAN lives 5 IL miles
south of Mexico, and had started
home last night on young horse
about 500 O'Clock. When he
reached the bridge on Love street,
near Mr.. Elliott's pottery, his
horse took fright while on the
bridge and fell Oft in the branch
on tsp of the rider. Mr.. Dungan's
collar-bone was broken and his
arm and side bruised considerable.
He was taken to the house of a
Mr.. johnson, where medical aid
was administered at once. A re-
porter called on him at Mr.. john
sons this morning and found the
injured man up and apparently
feeling very we'll, considering he
was minus part of a collar-bone and
the use OF his right arm. He will,
by careful nursing, fully recover.

MEXICO, MISSOURI, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 1891
An Arkansas Village in Winter.


Every traveller going south from
st. Louis can recall the average
Arkansas village in winter. Little
strings of houses spread raggedly on
both sides Of the rails. A few wee
shops, that are likely to have a mock
rectangle of facade stuck against a
triangle Of roof, in the manner of
children's card houses, parade a
draggled stock of haberdashery and
groceries. To right or left a mill
buzzes, its newness attested by the
raw tints Of the weather boarding.
There is no horizon there seldom
is horizon in Arkansas-it is cut
off by the forest. Pools of black
water reflect the straight black lines
of tree trunks and the crooked lines
of bare boughs, while a muddy road
winds through the vista. General
ly there are a few lean cattle to
stare in a detected fashion at the
train, and some fat black swine to
root among the sodden grass. Bales
of cotton are piled on the railway
platform, and serve as seats for half
a dozen listless men in high boots
and soft hats. Occasionally, a wo-
man, who has not had time to brush
her hair, calls shrilIy to some child
who is trying to have pneumonia by
sitting on the ground. No one
seems to have anything to do, yet
every one looks tired, and the ras-
senger in the Pullman wonders how
people live in "such hole
Two months later the "hole" will
have changed into a garden. The
great live oaks will wave a glossy
foliage Of richest green. Men will
be ploughing in the fields. and the
negroes song will float through the
open car window. The house yards
will be abloom with Japan ounce
and lilacs. The very shop windows
will have dash of fresh color in
summer bonnets and piles of new
prints. Then the stranger will
awake to the charm of the South ;
and were one to leave the train and
to stay in one of these unimpressive
towns for few weeks, he would
come to appreciate that charm.
