Western farmers are apt to think
Eastern mon are small in their ways,
and Eastern farmers are shocked at
the waste on Western farms. Both
are partly wrong. The tendency in
the West, where things are done on a
large scale, is to despise small things,
and the leaks on a badly managed
farm waste enough to make hand
some income. On the other hand,
there are many economies that pay in
the East that do not pay in the West.
Conditions must be considered. Wages
are higher here and feed and farm
products cheaper, and it would be an
easy matter to pay more in labor in
saving waste than the waste would be
worth when.sayed. Most men can re-
member moving out the fence corners
when they we're boys and gathering
carefully all the hay, but when hay is
only worth two dollars per ton, such
carefulness would not pay, and there
fore should not be practiced. All wise
economies are founded on common
sense. The successful farmer is, Of

TO TEST THE LAW.
Ohio Republicans Do Not Like the
Australian Ballot.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. livery great
interest was excited here this morning
by the announcement that the clerk of
the supreme court yesterday received a
petition in mandamus against Attorney
General D. X. Watson, to compel him
to bring quo warranto proceedings to
test the constitutionality of the Aus
tralian ballot law. The petition was
prepared by George H. Thompson, a
republican politician of Hillsboro, who
has figured for several years as bitter
opponent of ballot reform, and has
been frequent contributor to the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette on the
subject. While the republicans deny
any part in or responsibility for the
petition (Which was not filed yesterday
because of a slight informality) they
will Undoubtedly bear the blame for it,
and the result is likely to be serious
for Mckinley.

Wheat and Dairying.

"A prominent dairyman of Minnesota
and one who is enthusiastically devoted
to the Development of the dairy inter-
ests of the Northwest,rec express
ed to F. S. & H. the fear that the big
wheat crop of this year would prove an
"eye-blackener" to the dairy business,
Tor a few years, at least, because the
profits of wheat growing for the year
were more than the profits of dairy
ing. Farm, Stock and Home can
not concur in this view; it has too
much confidence III the average intelli-
gence and business sense of Northwest
ern farmers.
Those farmers know that the profit
IN the wheat crop this year is not only
unusual, but purely accidental, occa-
stoned by combination of circumstan-
ces that may not occur again in CEN
tury. They know that but for the un-
precedented short crops in Europe the
wheat would now be selling at a price
below actual cost of production. They
know that it our present wheat crop is
duplicated next year and Europe be
blessed with an average crop, the ex-
tenslve wheat grower would pray that
ne had less wheat and more butter or
almost any other product. Thousands
OF farmers-unless we wrongly estimate
their intelligence and forethought-
will accept this years Offering of good
wheat crops and fair prices for what it
is worth and use the premium it pays to
equip themselves to be hereafter inde-
pendent OF wheat as a main crop; this
will be particularly true of those sufi-
GENTLY well endowed to be successful
dairymen.-Farm, Stock & Home.

In Twenty Years.

10 the citizen of the Old World who
is obseryant on his travels in the Uni
ted States, this is country where de-
velopement is marvelously rapid. In
Europe, family,a town, or city that
cannot trace its history back more than
two hundred and fifty years is hard to
be found as black swan. Old towns
have grown but new ones have not been
founded. Sixty millions more people
are here than hundred and fifteen
years ago, But if the evelopement Of
a hundred or two hundred years seems
wonderful to the European, what shall
we say Of the material progress Of the
last twenty years? a single illustra-,
ton is enough. Twenty years ago this
week, Chicago suffered an unparalleled
loss by fire. The business district was
DESTROYED and thousands of people left
shelterless in the streets. What is it,
now? The second city Of the United
States. What were the states west of
the Mississippi twenty years ago? What
they are now can best be ascertained
BY taking a trip over the Burlington
system Of roads, which reaches all inn
portant places in ten Western and nor
thern states. For any information as

Increase In Farm Values In Minnesota
and Dakotas Placed at $500, 900, 900.
ST.. PAUL, Oct. 2.-The Pioneer Press
says: The wonderful crop produced by
the farmers of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas is already matter of record and
OF general rejoicing. But their good
fortune has not stopped here. Along
with the bountiful yield cleaned from
the surface of their fields has come an
enormous increase in the actual value
OF the fields themselves. For some time
past correspondents have been engaged
IN collecting information regarding the
present market value of farm lands as
compared with their value at the close
OF the crop season in 1890. In procuring
the information the correspondents baye
been Instructed to give specific instan-
ces at actual sales and transfers where
ever possible, and in general to be gui-
ded by the knowledge and Judgment Of
real estate operators, loan agents, and
the highest class of business men in
their respective communities. The re-
suit is surprising. Roughly estimated
1T demonstrates that, in addition to the
immense crops, the farmers and farm
land owners of the three hard wheat
states are about 5000, 900 900 richer than
they were year ago by reason of gene
raj Increases in the value of their hold
lngs ranging from 10 to so per cent,
while in some instances values have
nearly doubled.

THE GREAT WAR.

In spite of the failure of so much of
the war business On the hands of Euro
pean correspondents it does not require
any exceptional prescience or sagacity
to see that big war must come before
the clouds move away and untortured
peace has the field. Considerable at
tention, hawever, is given the opinions
expressed by Rev. Washington Gid
den, the noted clergyman. who, has
just returned from a tour in Europe,
where he has made the situation a
speeialssady. His:fconclusion which
is shared by some of the ablest writers
on the subject in the old world, is that
within the next decade all Europe will
be involved in war that will be the
most destructive of any the world has
known. In all the great nations the
army is the center Of interest, and all
the devices and appliances of modern
invention are being utilized to perfect
it's destructive power and increase it's
efficiency. Mr.. Glidden believes that
the vast and terrible agencies for de-
struction will be so appalling that it
will be the last great war the world
will ever tolerate. All the difficulties
between nations will thereafter be set
tied by boards Of arbitration. Great
guns and internal machines will then
prove to be peacemakers. The fact
that SO many new implements of de-
vastation have come into use, and each
nation knows the military condition of
all others, induces caution and hesita-
tion. 1t may even defeat all the SEEM
ingly inevitable conflicts. The unex-
pected happens in such matters at
times in the face of forces that appear
irrepressible. .It:is a cheerful theory,
however, that the age is getting past
the stage in civilization when wars are
tolerable.

1t is now proposed to connect Sweden
and Denmark by tunnel through the
Oeresund. Through, not under it, a
huge iron pipe, big enough for passen-
ger trains to run in, is to be laid from
Elsinore to Helsingborg, two English
miles, on hollow iron pillars filled with
concrete. 1t is proposed to so balance
the weight of the pipe with the dis
placed mass OF water that the pillars
will have scarcely any burden to carry.
The tunnel is to be laid so deep as to
be secure from the action of the waves
and out of the reach of the biggest
ships: One danger will remain, how
ever, against which the engineers can
provide no protection-the peril from
sinking wreck. Should such one
strike the tunnel it would be all up
with it, and with anything that hap
pened to be en- route between the two
coasts in an instant. The cost Of the
tunnel is put at s4,0oO,OOO, or there
abouts.
