IT MAY have occurred to several Of
our readers that the time for the sing
ing birds mas nearly passed and that
Kansas winter IS nearly at hand. The
lime for tile planting OF the chilblain is
here and the scarlet glow will soon be
on the nose OF the traveller. Lucky is
tue man who has coal in the bin and
whose cellar is filled with apples, who
has d few barrels OF Kansas hogs salt
Ell down and tat Kansas beef in the
brine. Such man is fixed to live like
king. Politics may go his way or
not, tariffs may go up or down, he has
the serene assurance that he has the
best of the situation. There has not
been enough cf this sort of thing in
the past few years, even among the
farmers. They bought too much pork
at the grocery and smoked too little
bacon at home. They have bought too
much fresh beef out of the butcher shop
and put too little of the good old fash
ioned corned beef in rich brine. If the
people wOuid get back To first principles
they would live longer and. probably
die happier.-Arkansaw Democrat.
