to abundxntly support a COW during the
entire year, while the separator, CLEAN
ing from the milk its cream and butter
making elements, expeditiously and al
most without loss, greatly reduces the
cost and simplifes the process of butter
production.
''New methods of feeding have been
devised whereby each dairy cow can be
put at her best and made to yield album
dant yet rich milk to the creamery. Cot
tonseed meal and hulls, peanut meal,
corn hulls and many other valuable
feeds have come into the market. Chem
icaI analysis has accurately determined
the constituents and value of these new
food materials, and the Intelligent dairy
man can so use them as to obtain the
most happy results. Scientific tests
make it possible to ascertain unerringly
the quality of the milk, and any de-
fciency can be supplied by judicious
feeding. Five per cent milk will make
five pounds of butter to every hundred
pounds Of the tactical fluid. Even this
percentage can be increased. The aerator
is another and invaluable device in the
hands of the intelligent farmer. It will al
heat from the milk and will carry off all
impurities. Disease in cattle can be
easily detected by the scientific exami-
nation this instrument affords.
CHOW, - continued Mr.. Hawley, s'the
new era for the farmers has but just be-
gun. In no domain of human activity is
there greater scope or genius than in
agriculture. No calling is so conducive
to health, longevity and happiness. Sci
ence lays her discoveries at the farmer S
feet and implores their use. For him
the chemist tolls in the laboratory. For
him the botanist CLEANS in the fields.
For him the inventor has simp1ified
labor and lightened toll For him
scholars and experts, employed by the
government, are ever at work at state
and national experiment stations to
solve the problems of the soil. The

acres become we'll ordered kingdom

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 0.-"GsneraI" ].
S. Coxey, of Coxey army fame, arrived
in the city Yesterday. His travelling
companion was his wife, a tall. dark,
stylishly dressed and good looking
woman. Coxey was dressed in a tailor
made business suit. He is slight in
stature. and pair of glasses which he
wears, gives him the appearance of
lawyer or a college professor.
To areporter Mr.. Coxey explained that
he was on his way to Kingsville, Mo-,
where he has been engaged to lecture on
the cause of the business de preston and
the remedy for it. He will return to this
city and will lecture here Sunday for
revenue.
When asked why the commonwealers
we're not marching to Wdshingto on this
year, Mr.. Coxey said it was not because
there was no cause for their existence,
but because there was no one to organize
them. The campaign of last year was
valuable, he said. because it proved that
even a large living petition was power
less to infiu nee congress to pass needed
laws The only remedy now, he declared,
is the ballot, and this year he is making
a campaign of education in order that
the people may elect men to Office who
will carry out their wishes,

Dickinson Lindsay the Probable Sue
OF Justice jackson.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 10.-Associate
Justice Stephen ], Field. in speaking of
the successor of the late Justice jackson,
of the supreme court of the United
States, said: ''Of the four gentlemen
spoken of-Postmaster General Wilson,
Senator Lindsay of Kentucky, Don IL.
Dickinson of Michigan, and Secretary
Carlisle-it is very difficult for me to Sc
Iect the one who will receive the ap-
poiutment.
"If Carlisle accepts he will have to
give up his presidential aspirations, and
of the other three Lindsay is far the
more efficient jurist, although all of them
are capable men and would be q credit to
the United States and themselves. Don
II. Dickinson is a warm personal friend
of the president and so is Wilson. There
fore under the present ciEcumstances it
would be difficult matter to name the
man.
"Any one would be good, but would
not be surprised to see either Dickinson
or Lindsay receive the appointment al
though l would not care to venture that
as anything other than a mere personal
opinion"
"When will the appointment take
placer"
"Some time before the second Monday
in October, and there may be a special
session called to confirm the presidents
nomination, as a justice would not care
to sit in the supreme court of the United
States unless his nomination was con-
firmed.

most independent of men. For him
most laws were framed, to him most
public men looked for support, and from
the farming class came nearly all that
was best in the ranks of business and
professional men.
This continued, with slight diminu-
ton, until little before the civil war
After the close of that struggle began
the most wonderful railroad growth ever
known, and the broad and fertile fields
of the west were opened for settlement.
Thousands and tens of thousands of
the more enterprising among eastern
farmers left the less productive states
where they had been raised to begin
over again in the newly opened parts of
the country. Before long these trans
planted farmers of the new states en-
tered into close competition with the
stay at homes of the old ones. Because
of this competition among other reasons
more or less connected with railroad
management, the money question, ETC.,
prices Of farm products have since gone
down, but without corresponding dec
lination of other prices Hard times
set in for most farmers long before
stringency was felt in the centers of
population.
The farm that once yielded not only
a living, but a comfortable income as
we'll, enabling its owner to live tlike a
PRINCE could furnish the living only,
sometimes hardly that, and then only
when wrung out of the soil by the hard
est and most unremitting toll This
condition, which has been aggravated
in many sections by the decreased de-
mands for horses, due to the increasing
use of electricity, bicycles and horseless
carriages, has resulted in driving many
of the brightest and most energetic of
the young men away from the farms,
the cities have become congested beyond
precedent, and many hold to the view
that the day of the farmers prosperity
has permanently departed.
But there are those who think differ
emily. They believe the trend of the
times to be toward a better chance for
the agriculturist, no matter what may
be done with the tariff or the money of
the nation. These hold that the very
growth Of the cities, so much dep1ored
by many, will assist in this, while the
wonderful scientific advances Of the age,
in their opinion, will be a still more
important helpful element. In the era
that is about to begin, according to these
sanguine predictions, the farmer, in
stead of being overworked and poorly
rewarded, as is now so often the case,
will be a master of scientific appliance,
which he will so utilize as to enable
him to secure not only the income to
which he is entitled, but such a degree
of leisure as will render it possible for
him to assume his old time rightful
place in affairs.

ers have encountered within the past
few years, both east and west" these
