yield satisfactory crops without proper
cultivation, nor has any process yet been
invented by which failure Of crops can
be rectified through legislation Of any
sort. These homely truths are far better
worth considering than the various
schemes OF relief which hare been evoi-
we'd By the Alliance movement.
The farmer who pursues his business
In an intelligent and perseyering man
ner has as many chances Of success a.
a man Of any other class or calling.
He cannot expect TO produce big crops
and get high prices every year. but TAX
ing one year with another, and using
necessary discrimination in the adjust
meet Of his proceedings, he will secure
4 reasonable measure OF prosperity.
The records leave no room for doubt up
on this point. X is with the farmers as
il Is with all the other people in the
matter Of occasional loss and disappoint-
ment- They have their times Of ill luck
and their times Of good luck, and the aver
age IL In their favor, notwithstanding all
their legitimate causes Of complaint and
Encouragement. 1t is we'll for them to
take an interest In politics and TO study
questions OF current interest, with a
view to acting the part Of patriotic and
faithful citizens; but it does not pay
them to do loose and slothful farming in
order TO attend political pienies and
carry on political sgitations having ref
erenee exclusively To their own affairs.

The progress of ideas as connected
with farm practices is far more rapid
than farmers get credit for as the work
goes along. We have only to look back
over few years Of time to learn that
great changes In methods and practices
have taken place and have settled
down into the position OF common
practice. This change has been
very marked in the business of
growing and fattening beef. This
change Is more plainly illustrated in the
West with their large operations. though
the change has taken place here as well
"a there. 1t was but few years ago
that it was the general understanding
that an animal must be four years old or
more before he was fitted for the butcher
and for the consumer. Prof. Sanborn
then Of the New Hampshire Agricultural
College, showed that a pound OF growth
could be made on less food and at
far less cost On growing animal than
on an old one; in fact, that it was
a law of growth that the younger the
animal the greater the growth per day,
and the less food per day called for.
he further showed to the satisfaction Of
all feeders that the growth of steers the
third year and later on did not pay its
way. The Chicago Fat Stock show
soon adopted the then remarkable plan OF
Offering no prizes on beef cattle SO old as
four years, thus taking the ground that
there should be no encouragement given
to keeping steers up to that age.
Growers soon caught up with this idea,
and came to accept the action as wise
and proper. And when our farmers go
to raising more cattle, as they must, let
them remember that it is the two and
three year old steers that are well fed
which pay; consequently they have not
to wait AS long for returns from them as
farmers formerly thought they were
Obliged to.

The report of an investigation lately
made by the Kansas State Board is very
instructive and suggestive in the way of
showing why SO many farmers become
victims Of misfortune and discredit their
business by proclsiming it to be one

1t appears that thirty wheat fields in
one county were visited, and In every
instance it was found that the grain had
been sown on wheat or corn stubble,
without any previous ploughing or
other preparation Of the soil. The same
fact was disclosed by the inspection in
other counties; and 1t may be taken for
granted that Il majority Of the farmers

Mr.. Henry Holt, one Of the great New

June Forum in which he discusses the
question, Twill the copyright law make
books dearer?" in the course of which
he says: sit Is to be expected that
under the new law our first editions will
be enough better made to be worth the
difference, and that our own authors will
sell more Of them, and at larger roy
atty. But it Is also TO be ex-
pccted that in the case of books
that 1.-THE people want" these first
editions will be succeeded by cheaper
ones-iust as cheap as the people will
provide a wide market for. These will

issued long ago, but for which wide
demand is still possible; for them, pub

this demand by cheap durable editions,

for half Il generation. Averaging all
sorts of books, the gain will be very
great, for 1t is not so important to have
the new book cheap, even If that did not
involve underpaying the author, as it l.,
to have cheap the book that has stood
the test of time, or at least that of con-
temporary opinion"

The JOURNAL has several times pre-
dietrd that Maine WAS destined to be
come the leading wood pulp producing
State in the L MON, The field for this
product is rapidly widening. An ex-
change speaking of this says:
while it was in the first place de
signed to be used in the manufacture of
paper only, by various methods of indu-
rating it. its adoption has increased un-
til now pals, water pipes, barrels, kitch-
en- utensils, wash tubs, bath tubs, wash
boards. doors, caskets, carriage bodies,
| floor coverings, furniture and building
| ornaments, and various other articles
are made of it. While timber
has been superseded by iron in
shiphuilding, the latest torpedo ram of
the austrian navy received protective
armor OF cellulose and our own new yes
sells are to be similarly provided. An
entire hotel has been built in Hamburg,
Germany, of which pulp forms the basis
ul superior lttue iuUTtar, IRE ana
water proof, for covering and finishing
walls.
From the report of B. L. Ferrow,
chief of the forestry division of the
census for lS90, it appears that in ISIS
the stumpage consumed for wood pulp
was valued ut g., 235, 900 The product.
2i3, 900 tons ground and $500 chemi-
cal pulp, was valued together at Sl2,-
SO 600, the capital employed being
estimated nc $4,000, 600. These figure s
would indicate a consumption in round
numbers of million cords of wood per
anuum and there is probability of still
further great expansion in this indus
try"
1t will thus he seen that in the expan-
sion Of her wood pulp industry Maine
has greater opportunities for substantial
growth in these lines than in any
