WASTE ON THE FARM.


4 Prolific Source of Debt and Mortgages
Discussed.
We would like to indulge in a little
plain talk with farmers upon the above
subject. Riding through the country
on the cars or in carriage, every
thoughtful, observing man must be i'm
pressed by the fact that a considerable
proportion of the land in sight is run
ming to waste, producing much less
than its capacity. We will see large
tracts of wet land, swamps or swales,
producing but little else than coarse,
wild weeds neither palatable nor
nutritious. The land is making little or
no return for the capital invested in it
or the taxes paid upon it. 1t is but
drag, dead weight upon the remain
der of the farm, and it's loss must be
made up from the profits of the land
under good cultivation.
Then the observing will see that pas
ture fields are not yielding as much
feed as they ought to- because the seed
ing is thin, run out, as the saying is, or
perhaps killed out in spots by water or
freezing. How many old pasture
fields on average farms are yielding
anything like good burden of tame
grass. Whatever it may fall short of
its maximum capacity under good man.
agement, is lost, waste. No farmer can
afford such waste. No manufacturer
or merchant could remain solvent a
year who permitted such waste.
Then we see that meadows ore often
but little better. There may be spots
or stripes of rank, luxuriant
grass which would yield from
two tc two and half tons
of hay to the acre, but the average
of the field would be so reduced by the
thin and bare spots that the hay would
not pay legal interest on the invest
ment.
But, observe the grain fields; those
fields upon which labor has been ex-
pended in cultivation. How seldom
you see an even growth all over the
field. There may be portions where the
luxuriance of the grain is truly crafty
ing, impressing us with the munificent
liberality of nature, but how often on
other portions the stand of grain is thin
and the growth short and weak. The
| fertility over the field is not uniform,
and water has settled in low spots and

MATRIMONIAL SUBJECTS.

the matrimonial way than a man OF

A TOPEKA Kan girl refuses to mar

cause her father was too old to support
son-in-law, and the girl herself had
too much sense to obligate herself to

MARGARET MANToN MERRILL

brilliant Success OF a Western Newspaper
Woman In New York.
Margaret Manton Merrill, a western
newspaper woman, has made a strilS-
ing success in New York, She is lin
cal descendant of the great duke of
Wellington. Her father was the late
Rev. L. W. Merrill, who was forty
years ago one of the foremost educa-
tors IN the west. He was at one time
member of the faculty at Ann Arbor
and later of that of the university o.
Minnesota, Margaret Manton, as she
usually signs herself, was graduated
from the university of Minnesota in
1875 and was the validictoran of her
class When but twenty years old she
had charge of the public schools in
Greeley, Colo. Her first venture in the
newspaper world was in Denver, Colo,
where she published society journal.
Rev. c. w. Merrill, state evangelist OF
Minnesota, and who is well-known in
Chicago as an assistant at ont time OF
Dwight L. Moody is her brother. Mar,
garet Manton went to New York less
than four years ago and began work on
one of the papers there as reporter.
Size is now considered one of the most
capable newspaper women in that city.
She is at present on the staff of the
New York Herald. On one occasion
James Gordon Bennett paid her $3.50 for
a single article, saying that the article
was the best one that he had ever read
in newspaper. Her services are in
such demand that her income is nearly
as large as that of cabinet minister
She is a member of Sorosis, the exclu-
sive woman's club of New York. Mar
garet Manton is beauty, with per-
feet form, and is considered one of the
best dressed women in the city. She
has been a great success socially in
New York and Washington. One of
her chief talents Is her ability to write
children's stories In addition to this
she can do any work that may be re-
quired of her by newspaper. She is
now writing novel Chicago Post.

Eperu one suffers

EOery one stVers
from Catarrh in the Head. Those
who don't have it suffer from those
who do. It's a disease you can't
keep to yourself.
Here are some of the symptoms
Headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some-
times profuse, watery, and acrid,
at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid, and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell
and taste impaired, and general de-
bility. But only a few of these
likely to be present at once.
The cure for it-for Catarrh it
self, and all the troubles that come
from ia perfect and permanent
cure, is Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
The worst cases yield to its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties. A record of 25 years
has proved that to its proprietors
and they're willing to prove it
to you.
They do it in this way: If they
can't cure your Catarrh, no matter
how bad your case, or of how long
standing, they'll pay you $500 in
cash. Can you have better proof of
the healing power of a medicine?

Women and Athletics.

To the increasing interest of women
in athletics and outdoor games is at
tributed the fact, for which a noted ed
ucator in New York is authority, that
nearly every American girl of good
parentage, living in the cities has, at
the age of sixteen or seventeen, larger
waist, finer physical development and
greater power of endurance than her
mother could boast at that age. Walk
ing excursions are also believed to be
instrumental in promoting the health
and gracefulness of young girls.
