Lancaster county. it appears, still
stands at the head of all the tobacco
growing counties in the United States,
with her 1927 800 pounds grown in the
season OF 1889. Four other counties
Christian and Henderson, in Kentucky:
Dane. in Wisconsin. and Pittsylvania
county, III Virginia. grow over 10000. 900
each. There are seventeen other coun-
ties that grow from 1000. 600 to 10.o00,-
600 pounds each. Lancaster county's
product in 1899, as all know. was sold at
exceedingly low prices-about the low
est in our history-and even then pro-
duced the growers $3.50. .090. The
nearest approach to this by any other in
diyiduval county was $3.50. 6.S4O by Hart
ford county. Conn. The product of
Lancaster county, in fact, fetched more
money than that of the entire state of
Connecticut or of Wisconsin or of New
York and Massachusetts, combined. =

THE SUPREME CONTRAST.

Among other airy claims advanced by
the Omaha convention Is an assertion
that the new party has eliminated sec
tional antagonisms between the north
and the south, and that it is the party
of the blue and the gray. This is GER
tainly an audacious attempt, says the
Review, to steal credit due the republi-
can party for its lifework.
The organization Of the republican
party found the country torn with inter
nal strife and the people embittered
against each other to the point of frat
ricidal warfare. The panty was born
to the supreme destiny of cauteriZing
and healing these long ranking wounds,
of freeing the serf, binding together the
broken members and bringing order out
of chaos. At Appomattox it began the
noble duty of eliminating the bitterness
of the war, and that lofty example it
followed up by offering pardon to every
rebel III the land and by pursuing a
policy never before adopted by con-
querer since government was first
established and armies first banded it
brought u tremendous TeDclllOH 10 u
close without placing Il single leader
npon the scaffold.
When We contrast this glorious mag
nanimity with the examples of history
when it is compared with the awful
ending OF the Monmouth rebellion
against the authority of the king of
England, and the sweet tempering OF
justice with mercy is placed by the side
.of the horrible butchery of Justice JET
frevs, we have the supreme contrast of
hea zen against hell, of angelic fol give
ness with diabolical revenge. So mag
unanimous has been the policy OF the
victor to the vanquished that within
single generation all the wounds OF war
have been healed: the flag is everywhere
reverenced, and the master spirits of
the war for the Union are canenized
both north and south. The sweet and
touching spectacle of the blue and the
gray assembling i'll peace and brother
hoed was witnessed long before the third
party WAS conceived; and nothing could
better illustrate the wildness of the
claims OF the new organization than
this latter day pretense of healing
wounds long ago cured by the republi-
~ can party. .t-----

The Walia Walla Union says ''it might
be very safely remarked Senator Dolph is
mot i'll favor OF the boat railway project
because he belle es it would prove very
beneficial to the people, but because he
believes advocating it will help re-elect
him. All men are selfish. Senator
Dolph is man." On this same princi-
pie then it is assumed that Squire and
Allen opposed the boat railway project.
Is that craftsmanship? 1t may be,

A cAR-WHEE1,s COST and LIFE.

The purchasing agent of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy Rail
way system, D. L. Hawkins, gave a
reporter of the Detroit Free Press
some facts about the carwheels used
on his road: Our system uses
nothing but what are technically
termed contracting chilled wheels.
These are found to be the best and
are nothing more than cast iron.
The value of the wheel depends up
on the chill of the iron used in it,
which can be harder than steel-so
hard, in fact that the best steel-drill
could not penetrate 1t. Steel wheels
are used somewhat, but are not
much of an Improvement over the
chilled-iron wheels unless a certain
quality of steel is used. The metal
differs so much that steel wheel is
not to be relied upon. Paper wheels
are made, and it is claimed by their
manufacturers that they are much
safer than iron wheels. But | do
not think that their safety cuts
much of a figure, and besides the
steel tire of a paper wheel costs
$40, whereas we can buy chilled
wheels for 81 so each.
A wheel is guaranteed to run TO-
900 miles or four years of steady SER
vice. but the air brakes are bringing
down that average cOnsidera bly,.
An engineer wants to stop his train
suddenly and claps the air brakes on
solidlv, causing the wheel to slide on
the track. In this way fat surface
IS worn on the wheel, and when in
motion it pounds until it is discard
ed as dangerous. Two and one-half
inches OF fat service on a wheel
condemns it by order of the master
car-builders. Our inspection for a
new wheel is a hundred-pound
weight falling on the side or fiat sur
face a distance of seven feet, twenty
five blows. If one wheel from each
cast or each batch of wheels from the
same iron can stand this test, the
wheels are past inspection as to
strength. The great trouble with
wheels that are not turned or ground
is that many of them prove not to
be round. No matter how round the
mould is, the iron warps in cooling,
thereby making an imperfect wheel.
In the St. Louis shops, which are the
most extensive of any in this coun-
try, or any other for that matter,
every wheel that is turned out is
ground perfectly round in lathe"

/ SHORT FARM CArECHIsM.

1. What should be the chief aim
of agricultural effort?
To obtain the largest possible crop
from a given area in the least deter
iorization of the fertility of the soil.
g. How may this be accomplished
By cultivating no more land than
can be we'll fertilized and thoroughly
cared for.
8. What is the chief mistake OF
American farmers as a class!
Attempting to crop larger areas
than can be properly MANFRED.
4. What advantage is there in
restricting the area planted?
1. There is saving of labor. 2.
There is improvement in the quality
of the crop, in consequence OF more
thorough cultivation. 3. The land
is left in better condition after the
crop is removed. f. By these means
there is a considerable gain in the
farmers profits.
5. What is the great lack in Amer
lean farm methods
The failure to keep clear and exact
accounts.
6. What sort of accounts should
be kept?
They should be as simple as posi-
BILE, so as not to require the services
of an expert bookkeeper, yet SUIT
fciently detailed to show, when bal
anced, the gain or loss on each crop
raised or animal kept.
7. What crops should farmer
raise?
Those he finds, by careful expert
ment, to be best suited to his soil and
locality.
8. Should farming be general or
specialized
For some farmers and some local
tiles general farming is more adv1s-
able; but specialized farming is, as
rule, more profitable when conducted
by an expert.
9. What then should the farmers
aim be?
To become thoroughly familiar with
some particular branch of agriculture
al industry, so that he may produce
the best in that line, and thus COM
mand a sure market for his product.
10 Should the farmer ignore
"book learning" in carrying on his
farm?
By no means. No man can learn
by personal experience all that is de-
sirable to know of farm methods,
aud books by competent authors-of
which there are many-supplv the
knowledge he needs to keep him
abreast of the progress of agricul-
tural science and practice.
II. How may farmers sons be in
duced to stay on the farm?
1. By treating them as sons, not
slaves. 2. BY taking them as early
as possible into partnership, and
thus awakening the sense of owner
ship and responsibility. 3. By af-
fording them every possible facility
to become intelligent, thorough-go-
ing, scientific agriculturists. 4. BY
making the farm home attractive.
- What are the prime duties Of
the A merican farmer as a citizen /?
To be God-fearing man, to sus-
tain American industries and Gus
toms, to be the best farmer in the
world, and an honest, helpful, fear
less member of the community.-lE x-
change.

Cleveland, but that is no reason that
it should represent the Harrison ca m
paign as listless and dull, nor that it
should deny enthusiasm to the Har-
rison meetings, nor caricature the
Harrison speakers and speeches.
Usually, to judge from the papers
which espouse one or the other side.
there is but one side, and the result
was a foregone conclusion from the
beginning.
The reader of the weekly edition of
the London Times during the present
exciting campaign in England will
need no other paper to furnish him
with fair picture of its progress.
Every morning he will find the chief
speeches on both sides accurately re-
ported, with the most truthful ac
counts of the size and spirit of the
meetings. The Times is not friendly
to Mr.. Gladstone, but it will open its
columns to all that he says, and
neither belittle nor satirize his meet
ings. The feeling of the crowds and
their reception OF the orators will be
photographed, so that the reader
will know that he understands the
situation.
This is the function of a great news
paper. This is to be mirror of the
times. Whatever the editorial SYM
pathies of a paper may be, if it per-
mits them to distort and misrepre-
sent the news, it abuses its trust.
Yet in the heat of a political campaign
how many newspapers are guiltless
of that abuse ?-[ Harper's Weekly.

BEA UTIFUL TRAP FOX CARPET BEE
TIES.

l recently found simple way to
check the increase of the buffalo car
pet beetle. This insect does its dam
age in the immature or larval state,
being the ugly hairy worm which
most ofhousekeepers call the"carpet-
bug" These hairy Larvae become
full grown in this condition at vari-
Gus times during the fall, winter
and spring, and concealing them
selves in crack or crevice change to
what is called the pupa or chrys-
ais state. They are then quiescent,
and take no food. They remain in
it short time two or three weeks)
and then again change into small,
dark-co1ored beetles less than a
quarter Of an inch long, having on
the back spots and stripes of white
and red.
These beetles fly out of the windows
in the spring, and, as l have lately
noticed, flock in great numbers to
the early crocuses and tulips of the
gardens. They prefer especially the
light-colored varieties, being found
in a tulip-bed under. observation al
most exclusively on the white and
bed, containing less than four dozen
tulips, we gather in a week more
than 100 beetles. The little creatures
seek the flowers to feed on the pollen,
and are easily seen and destroyed.
This offers simple method ofcheck-
ing increase ofavexatious pest and is a
measure which city and village house
keepers cannot afford to neglect

INFANT PRODIGIES.

Infant prodigies ofany kind, music
al, thea trical, or literary, are always
of more interest to the immediate
surroundings than to the world at
large. We all know the opinion that
was secretly held by the Crummles
company with regard to the infant
Phenomenon" How many fond par
ents there are of the Crummels type,
who sacrifice their friends and their
interest to the worship of their pro-
digious infant! The baby reciter is
terror to the acquaintance of its
fond proprietors. The only people
one would think, who could take an
intrest in such painful exhibitions
have prodigy of their own t home.
At this moment there are sandwich
men straving about the streets of
London who announce, as the chief
attraction ola popular entertainment

Man." by Miss So-and-So, "aged

mothers who will be glad to COM
pare this baby with the one that
they themselves have taught; but
outside these misguided parents, who
could be so perverse as to take a
pleasure in the lisping of that we'll

should hardly think it preferred it's
