procures the reports Of specialists and
experimental stations. He studies soil,
climatic changes and peCuhsritiss, labor
saving tools, varieties Of seed and dis
eases, and insects that he will have to
combat, meanwhile testing his theories
as he proceeds. Much Of this he has
read in the winter, while the proceeds
in part Of his eighty acres Of potatoes
are securely bound and stored waiting
for thousands of negligent farmers who
paid him rs cents bushel FOR their seed

He has also learned to feed what is BEST

the Dakota experiment. station he learns
that small potatoes are best fed raw to
pigs and there Ia no trouble to raise 200
pound ysarling pigs having plenty OF
bone, muscle and sweet meat while his
more ignorant brother has not learned
that pigs grow best on plenty OF grass,
milk and vegetables, natures best food,
and never improved upon, and had

for pigs with large bone and muscle.

EDITOR ADVooATE:-PRince Bismarck,
in speech recently delivered before the
sgrarianG Of Germany, gave expression
to On idea which may well be considered
by the farmers Of the United States. He
said:
"HusbsndTy is the first born, but it is
not the most favored trade, because
farmers cannot live in Che towns, and
consequently they have not much in
flusnCe in making the laws. We must
stand shoulder 10 shoulder against the
drOnes who govern ua, and who produce
nothing but laws"
Those who belong TO what are called
the non. producing Glasses do, as mat
ter Of fact, produce more law than the
producing classes. It is common re-
mark among those who "farm the
farmer" that the farmer should spend
more time plowing and less time talking
politics. Even the distinguished Becre-
tary Of agriculture suggested in his
famous Chicago speech that the farmer
was giving too much time to Alliances,
Oranges and other organizations which
discussed political questions.
THIS is the game now being worked
by the bankers and boards Of trade
throughout the land to override and ig.
more the farmers and producers Of the
country and thus continue their rule.
And they worked it with complete sue
cess in the late contest for supremacy In
the state convention Of Kentucky, where
the country districts were unanimous
for free silver, but were oVerrulsd by
the cities which were dominated by the
monied interest and those who eubsist
on trade and speculation, and, therefore,
are dependent on banks and bankers.
For it appears that out OF the 300 and
odd votes cast against free coinage, l8O
were from the seven or eight cities OF
the state; and these, the bona tide pro-
ducers and lRborers (as thoroughly for
silver as the fsrmers) were outgsnerRled
and entirely ignored in the representa-
tion In the convention. 1t 10 the old
story Of q contest between the drones
aud the Wsgsmen OF society in which
the cunning and chicsnery Of the first
generally comes out ahead. AS Ridpath
in his history says: 1.-THE newspaper OF
modern times belongs to the upper man,
the wealthy and influential. The under
man has no voice; or, il having a voice,
he cries out, his cry is lest like shout
in the desert. Capital seizes upon the
organs of public uttersnce and hoWls
the humble down the wind, and lying
and Misrepresentation are the weapons
OF those who gather the usufruot of Ia
Dor and toll"
But the common people Of the cities
are waking up, and they will make Rome
howl before long. The Chicago Record,
. paper neutral on the financial ques-
tion, recently took ballot in that city
on the question Of free silver without
regard to the action Of foreign nations,
It was managed with care and kept up
for two weeks when it was found that
silver had msjority Of over 5000 in q
poll Of about 1900 votes, or 81 per cent
Of the entire vote. About the same
time the Boston Post, a rsbid gold or
gan, eassyed like test Tor that city
but after 9 little gave lt up % the vote
was not going 70 its aatiHiaotion, by I

A Brakeman's Heroism.

A movement has been started by the
railroad men of Topeka TO erect a monu-
ment TO Brakeman John Wolfe, who was
fatally injured in q wreck on the Rock
Island Railway at Flager Station last
week.
There was q pathetic incident Of BRAY
cry and thoughtfulness In connection
with the wreck. Wolfe, himself mortally
injured, lay near Fireman William
Swearengen. Swearsngen had his left
foot in the frebox and his arms were
pinned to his sides. He was literally
being cooked alive. The men lay in such
q position that at times they were en-
veloped In gusts of scalding steam. To
breathe the steam into his lungs would
have been instant death. Wolfe, though
In agony, burned and bleeding, had the
presence of mind to see this, and when
the steam would come managed to close
Swsarengen's mouth and nose with his
hand as long as the gust lasted. He will
ingly allowed the flesh to scald off the
back of his own hand in this brave office.
when be might perhaps have saved his
own life by keeping away and allowing
SwearenRen to die. Wolfe died in few
hours. but Swearengen will probably re-
cover. - Correspondence Indianapolis

VOICE OF THE PRESS.
EXPRESSIONS of Interior California
Newspapers.
Comments Upon Things Local, Gov
ornamental, Practical, Theoret-
ical and Current.

Fresno Expositor: Governor Budd
has expressed himself as favoring the
maintenance of only one State Prison,
that at Folsom, and of having the con-
victs there kept at work at some pro-
ductive industry to make the result or
their labor return to the State some
cost of their care while doing penal
gervitude.
It is a well-known fact that large
quantities of prison-made goods are
brought from the East and sold to the
people of California while an unen-
lightened prejudice in the minds of a
large element of our voting population
has made demagogues of politicians
and prevented the State from making
its prisoners earn the cost of their
keep and some of the cost Of their pur-
suit and conviction.
The States convicts should be COM
PEELED to produce all they can, and by
so doing relieve the burden of State
taxation that discourages enterprise
and immigration and does many
times more harm to the cause OF labor
than all their so-called competition
with free labor would do. Instead OF the
work of convicts being competitive
with free labor, it is a relief to that
kind of labor, because free labor has TO
earn every dollar that the State pays
for its multitude of public institutions.
A GRIEVANCE.
Los Angeles Times: Lord Sholto
Douglas is of the opinion that there
will be no war between England and the
United States because of our connec-
ton by marriage. Bless your soul,
SholtoI that is one of our grievances.
AN EXCELLENT PLAN.
San Diego Union: A movement is on
foot at San Francisco which, if carried
out according to the present pro-
gramme should do much to revolu-
tionize the mining industry of Califor-
MIA. The plan of the promoters is, IN
brief, to provide the needed capital for
developing and working mines in TINS
State, so that the profits of such oper-
ations shall go to increase the wealth OF
California and not into the pockets of
Eastern capitalists.
It would certainly seem that there is
an admirable field for such an organ
ization as the one proposed.

Los Angeles Herald: California is I'M
Questionably the best country In the
world as respects natural resources and
climate. We say this not with view OF
disparaging any other country or State
But highly favored by nature as is Cal
ifornia, there are some man-made con-
ditions which initiate seriously against
the rapid settlement of the State, and
which must be changed before this COM
monwealth can reach its highest des-

The worst drawback to settlement
and progress within our boundaries is
land monopolization. The same evil ex-
lists in every other State, but that is

tinue to suffer from ii if it can be abol-
ished. While monopoly Of land in popu-
