Make the Trial.

Said leading Stevens county farm
er to the writer recently: Last sea-
son gave diversifcation test in
small way and found that it paid.
Asked how he diversified he said:
Well, / for the first time last season,
raised poultry, and bred cattle and
hogs to a limited extent beyond fam
lily needs. | kept few COWS, saved
steer calves for beef and made butter
from the surplus milk of the COWS for
the market. My chickens added to
my marketable products in the way
of eggs to an agreeable extent, and
last fall I had nice lot of poultry for
sale. As l did not employ additional
help of course / did not harvest quite
so much 53 cent wheat, but on
the whole, because my profit was
good under classification, | am well
satisfied with my returns as whole
and advise my fellow-farmers in Ste
vens county to try the scheme"
And why not? The farmer who
devotes himself to the cultivation of
small grain in the present and pros
pective condition of the market for
the same takes large chances of put
ting his foot in it. OF course the
farmers generally will admit this fact
They have but a comparatively small
local market for grain of any kind,
but are at the mercy of the combines
of the great trade centers for prices
and often find their profits insufficient
to support their families and improve
their property. Why not then adopt
the diversifcation scheme and not
rely upon grain only?
The TRIBUNE believes this sub
iect well worthy the careful consider
alton of our farmers, and that those
who take advantage of the opportun-
ity will very soon find themselves more
prosperous than they have been I'M
der the one-crop system. Of course
the TRIBUNE does not advise any
farmer to abandon grain cultivation,
but it does believe in the system of
Investigation to limited extent as a
guarantee against failure in all direc-
tions. Preparation for it would not
cost much. Try it for at least long
enough to find out for yourself wheth-
er it does not pay. Many farmers are
now paying out cold cash for butter,
meat and other table supplies which
they might at least save to themselves
on the very first years experiment,
and after that make money for the
farm.
Farmers, test the correctness of
these suggestions and see if they are
not well founded.

Scotch Reticence,

A Scotch laborer was dying. He had
four little children. After lying silent
for awhile he said he would like to see
them, and the poor wife brought them
to the bedside. All he did was to take
each of the three elder children by the
hand and to say, "Gude day."
Then he said to the youngest, a wee
thing 2 years old, "Will We gle me a
bit kiss?"
The mother, lifting up the wondering
child, said, "Say ta-ta to your father"
"Ta-ta," said the little boy in loud,
cheerful voice, and then ran out Of
the cottage to play. The poor father
closed his eyes; the tears ran down his
cheeks, but he said no more. The album
dance of his heart choked his utterance.
He was weary, too, and so guide day
was his only word of parting.-"Twen.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1898.

The action of the temperance ele-
ment in appointing committee to
nominate "no license" ticket, is in
our opinion very unwise move. No
such ultra measure will meet with
support except from a very few, for
while there are many who favor and
would earnestly cooperate to secure
a needed reform, yet they are not pre-
pared to go to the impractical extreme
of prohibitive measures. Many who
would like to see all traffic, both IN
manufacture and sale, suppressed,
realize that so long as liquor is manu-
featured it will be sold, and hence
while it is possible to control, it is
impossible to suppress the traffic.
It is conceded that the temperance
and gambling laws and ordinances
are openly violated for minors have
the run of many, if not all the saloons;
inebriates are openly furnished liquor;
the hours of closing disregarded;
Sunday closing ignored, and gambling
openly praoticed.
"No license" would not correct
these abuses. 1t would only change
the "wide open policy" now in vogue
to the "blind pig" We can fight to
better advantage when our adversary
is in sight than when concealed, and
it is more easy to enforce the laws on
licensed saloons than it is to ferret out
and suppress "blind pigs"
As for the gamblers and gambling,
there is but one opinion-they must
go.
The wisest measure is to make q
vigorous, sincere and determined effort
to control the traffic, by electing a
council pledged to enforce the laws;
impose a reasonable license and sup
press all gambling. Let the new
council be composed of representative
citizens who may be relied upon to
carry out the necessary reforms; and
above all, let the citizens organize,
sustain and support the council in all
reasonable efforts to uphold and en-
force the laws.
The financial phase of the question
is one not to be ignored. The claim
is made that much of the burden of
our excessive taxation is caused by
the saloons. While this is in part
true, yet the voting of "no license"
would increase our burden of expense,
as it would deprive us Of the present
license revenue, and also entail upon
us double the present expense, for it
will cost more to unearth, prosecute
and convict one piggery" than it
would to govern and control "a half
dozen licensed saloons.

lF1E S!n.r.AlN'S TALE.

Listen, my masters. speak naught but truth.
From dawn to dawn they drifted on and on,
Not knowing Whitiler or to what dark end.
Nov the Eorth fro..e them. now the hot south
saorched.
Some called 10 God and found great comfort so;
Some CRASHED their teeth with curses, and some
laughed
An empty laughter seeing that they lived,
So sweet was breath between their foolish lips.
Day after day the same relentless sun;
Night after night the sam" Implying stars.
Atinteryals fierce lightnings tore the clouds,
Showing vast, hollow spaces, and the sleet
Kissed, and the torrents Of the sky were loosed.
From time to time hand relaxed its grip,
And some pale wretch slid down into the dark
With stifled moan, and transient horror seized
The rest who waited, knowing what must be.
AT every turn strange shapes reached up and
clutched
The whirling wreck, held on awhile, and then
Slpt back again into that blackness whence
they came.
All, hapless folk, to be so tost and torn,
So racked by hunger, fever, fire and wave,
And swept at last into the nameless void
Frail girls, strong men and mothers with their
babes!

Waterloo, IN. W Observer: The
place to find the man with the crazy
idea is the legislature of an American
state. In Minnesota they are consid-
ering bill to forbid women wearing
hoopskirts; the Pennsylvania house
has passed a bill prohibiting the man
ufacture of cigarettes; the New York
Legislature rs trying to fix the price of
coal; in Ohio they want to Danish
French from hotel bills of fare, and in
Texas they are trying to legislate the
rotation of the crop. Now, South

Kansas that everybody shall have

piece and see how mach it grows in a

About Palking Cattle.

You know the superstition which
claims that cattle have the gift of speech
at midnight Christmas eve. A Schles-
wig story warns US to take such asser-
lions by faith rather than crave for
knowledge by sight. An unbelieving
farmer once hid himself in his barn and
heard one'o his horses say to the other,
edit Jaer waet wy noch unser Buer los''
eve shall be rid of our master this year).
The prophecy so frightened theman that
he fell i'll and died, and the soothsaying
horse drew him to his grave. -Harper's

Deafness Cannot be Cured

DGdTn0SS cannot De SuF0O
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundren Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannat be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.
