The farmer who is not making
his plans to supply his family the
coming season with meat from the
poultry yard, is making a sad mis-
take. Talk about the economy a
farmer must practice when he pays
three times as much for his meat
supply as is necessary. He can
grow chickens for six cents a pound
or less, and surely there is no health.
Ter meat, o any better adapted to
The warm weather than this. With
u large flock of chicks, abundance
of milk, a good sized patch of

virtually be assured and the pro-

The February term of the Circuit
Court which adjourned last Friday
was the longest and most costly
ever held in Day county, but has
resulted in clearing up most of the
old business that has been accumu-
.ating for years. Heretofore, cases
have been pu. off from time to time
until some had been on the calen-
dar for years, but now nearly all of
these have teen disposed of. Of
course there has been a great many
cases of recent origin, but this is to
be expected as the county grows
older and population increases. ,

The Future of American Agriculture.

Within the past few days the
price of wheat has touched a lower
point than ever before known (55g
cents IN Chicago for February and
5St cents for May delivery. This
is lower than it a be produced IN
the great majority Of wheat lands
of the United States, if American
farmers are to live with as many
comforts as they have enjoyed IN
the past; and yet cannot count upon
any permanent rise in prices. Mil
lions of fertile low priced acres IN
all parts of the world are being
titled IN wheat by cheaper labor sup
plemensed by the labOr-savlng ma
chineryofAnerICan invention which
speak all languages, if we may use
the term. and serve all masters with
equal faithfnIuess and efficiency. Our
machinists first supplied our own
farmers, and then sold their surplus
of iron slaves to their competitors,
aud they are working them against
us. We may make up our minds
that foreign demand Cor our cereals
will every year be supplied in an
increasing ratio from other soils
than ours.
What, then, is left the American
farmer?
"To a man up a tree" it looks, as
General Sherman said; AS If We must
depend upon supplying the waits
of our people. We must try and
produce everything our soil and CHI
mate will produce that we now i'm
port.
One item is sugar. We bought
last year from foreign producers J.,
| 700, 900 tons Of raw sugar at a cost
of about 1922, OOv, 600. 90. Every
pound of this supply might be
made from American cane ami
beets. In 1898 We did produce 250
900 tons from domestic CANE and
beets. In 1898 the production of
beet sugar alone 27,0S3 1913 pounds,
and this Vas by only three states,
California, Nebraska and Utah.
NIne of our northern and a still
greater number of our southern
states art equally wei! adapted for
growing sugar beets in addition to
our large cane interests, and if the
protection to the American sugar
growers and refners is not with
drawn it will Increase in a still
greater retio. France Germany,
Austria aud Russia, under the
bounty system of those countries,
produced in 1898, 3,4l6,Sl tons of
sugsr. II our Legislators have not
gone mad they will hesitate before
they strike down such an industry.
The outcry against trusts caused the
House of Representative a few
days since 10 vote to do this

FRED. W. HARRIS, Editor.
Member !! The :.... .,st!. Press Asss..i:.

From the dispatches to the daily
press we learn that the supreme
!. court has handed down a decision
in the famous Sioux Falls brewery
case. The ruling of the lower court
which found the brewery company
guilty of violating the prohibition
law, is reversed.
Following is the syllabus in the
case:
J, Under a statute that does not specif-
caily name the liquors, the sale OF which
as a beverage it prohibits, but considers
and holds all liquors intoxicating which
are spurious malt or vinous or fermented
as well as all mixtures thereof which will
produce intoxication, the malt orintoxi-
eating quality OF the beer, when in ques-
tion, should be shown by the evidence the
weight and suffti;eiieaey OF which is for the
court or jury to decide, as the case may
be. 1t being a matter OF general know
ledge that there are varieties of beverages
Z denominated beer and used in this state
! that contain no malt end are not intoxi-
! eating, We hold thai the term beer" in
, the absence of evidence as to it's quality,
in effect does not import an intoxicating
J liquor, the mere statement OF the witness,
f! es that they bought beer, without any
evidence as to the purpose for which il
was bought, or that it contained malt
or OF its effect upon persons using it, OF
OF the manner in which it was made, j.
not sufficient to show that it was intOxi
! eating, and a court will o take iudicia
notice hat beer so sold was "a malt OF
Intoxicating liquor.
Ever since the passage of the pro
hibltion law this case has beer
prominent in the courts, and the
decision Is a great victory for the
brewing company. The brewery
has been running eve since the pas
sage Of the law and will undoubted.
continue. What effect this DISPOSE
tion of the case will have on the
enforcement of the law in future il
~conjectural but it must of necessity
retard it. Had the decision OF the
lower court been sustained the
brewery property would have beer
confscated and destroyed by the
state and the manufacture of liouol
in this state effectually stopped.
1t looks like a gigantic ~burlesqu,

In these twenty-five states and

100 of these farms are free from IN

of the mortgage is thirty. five per
cent of the value of the farm. Sew
enty-ive per cent of these mortga-
ges represent deferred payments
upon the purchase of the farms or
money borrowed to build houses,

twenty-five per cent represents
debts contracted by farm owners

rate Of interest paid upon farm

Tho Mine Mula.

Patrick Murray of Perth Amboy,
N. j., had an exciting experience
with q mine mule at Summit Hill,
Pa, which he will never forget.
When he reached the bottom of the
slope and proceeded to explore the
gnngway, he attracted the attention
of one of the mules. He is at loss
10 know what angered the animal,
but the beast came for him at full
speed, and Murray started for q
heading" with nothing but the
light Of . miner s lamp 30 guide him.
1t was race for life. The mule
was rapidly closing the gap when
the Jerseyman reached two mine
cars. He plunged between them.
The mule countermarohed and began
using his hind feet with terrible
effect. He kicked the stout oak
planks of the car into kindling wood,
and while he was occupied in this
manner Murray made his escape and
returned to the surface. He is fully
satisfied that the mine mulo is not to
be trffled with, especially if you are
D tenderfoot with a red necktie.

upon the assailants for fear of hitting oorn-
rades who were either leading Cleburne's
men or mingling with them In their mad
race. Once at the rear works the onset OF
Cleburne's men WAS 30 impetuous that the

the crisis, Cleburne's banners waved over

Meanwhile Opdyckss soldiers, unmind-

uuM - sunmart1ea In . word, that
word wsuA bs Whimsical" But
~ Whimsical We do not merely mean
what y light, fantastic and half bur-
Iesque His writings show these
qualities, but they show something
more. They are whimsical In the
,ldcr and trucr sense Of the word
that is, given over to paradoxes and
Ingenious imaginings and 10 the fol-
lowing of bypaths of thought TO
strange and unlocked for conclu-
uions. The "Autocrat," if he has
straight line before him, endeavors
70 show that nevertheless it has in
It something of obliquity. If it is
crooked, he is sure to discover that
It possesses the essentials of direct
aess. Whatever he sees he sees with
, difference. Things the world re-
CARDS as commonplace he shows to
be capable of affording hidden and
undreamed of meanings. What ap-
pears at first sight strange and new
he proves TO be ordinary and well
known. Sir Thomas Browne pos
sessed and indulged something Of
this temper of mind. Indeed we
may find convenient formula for
expressing one side Of DIR. Holmes
by describing him as a Sir Thomas
Browne without the melancholy
and without the pomp and majesty
Of rhetoric welded by the doctor es-
sayist of the seventeenth century.
Again, the "Autocrat Of the Break
fast Table" did not possess the love
of things mystical which pervades
the writings of the author of "Urn
Burial. He was fond, as "Elise
Venner" proves, of the weird and
the uncanny, and he delighted Tn fol-
lowing thought to the edge of the
mysterious, but beyond this his de-
sire 30 read the elemental secrets did
not go. He exhibits, too, a sense of
humor and sometimes Of actual fun
which was wholly unknown to Sir
Thomas Browne.
There are plenty of things in "The
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table"
which are outside the region of dry
wit and sly, quiet observation, and
make the reader laugh aloud These.
however, are not characteristic OF
the work as a whole. As we have
said already, Holmes was essentially
0 man of whim. He liked to fasten
upon the first thought that came
handy and bring it around to smile
by the gravcst possible route that
could be chosen. Oftcner than not
however, his paradoxcs were only
used as stalking horses for preaching
true wisdom and manly common
sense. If ne taxed his ingenuity to
pervert the plain meaning Of words,
1t was, as q rule, In order 10 read
shrewd lesson in human conduct
Not only was one never the worse
for his books, but thousands have
drawn from them a mental tonic OF
no mean potency. If his conclusions,
like most conclusions that are worth
having, wero trite and commonplace,
they often assumed garb which to
many minds WINS of more than or
dinary impressiveness. - London
Standard.
