purposes find buyers within the quoted range
OF values. but there is no eagerness for stock
on the part Of purchasers.
There is no heavy business in progress in

move Off in slow fashion. Prices show no
strength.
The Oat market is more or less dragging

Time TO Hustle.

II you farmers are alive to progress
and prosperity, don't forget that now is
the time to "hustle." There is no
.'sleep" in the game Of farming What
you neglect now is lost until another
season, which brings you nearer to the
grave. Work this week. to-day, every
hour, and you will assuredly come out
all right In the end. Work the crops be-
fore they get grassy. plant plenty OF
corn and peas, push the pigs, plow the
turnip patch, q work the garden. Don't
starve the calves, 60 to bed early and
get up early, work before breakfast,
keep one eye on debt. and one ON the
crop. Stay by your crop. don't 60 to
town too often. Don't go fishing ut all
until the crop ia laid by. Work like
beavers, 4 you will build dam against
poverty that will stand all assaults.

MOTTO

If you want to solve the financial
problem of this great nation, and at the
same time bring lasting prosperity to
you personally, let us tell you how TO
do it beyond all doubt. just swear by
all that is holy. that you will wear the
poorest clothing, eat the planest food,
and live at home however hard 1t may
be to do SO, and let the money mould
and corrode in the vaults of banks. and
pockets of capitalists. and It will not
be long before 1t will be crawling from
its hiding places and running after you
for investment. Don't be deceived by
the cry of over production, and that
YOU work too much now, so fiippantly
sung in your ears by men who want to
profit by your weakness in lending
willing ear in your eagerness for bet
tering your self TO their false teachings
There is over-p production undoubtedly
Of what you sell, and corresponding
under-production of what you need TO
live ON at home, which necessarily
creates under-consumption, because
you are unable to buy. by reason OF the
debt you create for things you should
raise at home, consumes all you sell,
and leaves you without money to even
get decent food and clothes. Now this
is sound common sense, and If you will
pursue this policy instead of depend
ing upon free silver, you will make our
land blossom like the rose, and bring
plenty and happiness to yodr own
homes. May guardian angels contin'
uously whisper this in your ears.

On an average Texas farm there IL
nearly as much of the crops wasted as
is used. The stalks and blades OF corn
stand idle 10 the field until knocked
down and plowed under; the straw OF
small grain is left in piles where
threshing was done, or burned to get
IL out Of the way; the vines OF peas,
sweet potatoes and peanuts are often
left to the elements, when they make
the best Of hay. Besides this, and
more. of the same sort of imprOvidence,
wasteful methods of feeding and
marketing prevail here as In no other
country on earth. Bishop Galloway,
writing from Egypt, says he saw hun
dreds of people carrying cotton stal ks
in bundles into the cities to sell. rhe
bark is used for fiber and the decorti-
Gated stems for fuel. In large manu-
featuring establishments nothing is
wasted; even dirt and grease from raw
material being converted into market
able products; then why should farmers
deem it beneath their dignity to be
equally careful of their products?

Journal Of Agriculture.
4. b. Terry thinks that farmers over
look great deal Of profit on the farm
because they do not realize the lessen
cd cost OF living as compared with liv-
ing in the town or city. Mr.. Terry in
estimating his own unseen expenses.
counts his house worth $50 per month;
fruit garden during its season, " per
day; COW for cream and milk, $50 per
wear; light and fuel. from % to IS per
wear on the farm, and from 90 TO $ls per
mouth In the city. Then he says, free
pure water, fresh meat, horse and car
rage, etc, are to be reckoned among
the advantages of the farm. A farmer
has his own garden vegetables. fruits,
lowers and wheat. and his clothing
does not need TO be very expensive. and
his taxes are only about half those OF
his city brother.
This is . matter worth considering.
II is true that the profits on the farm
are not MS large as they should be when
il il considered that agriculture Is the
ind ustry on which all other kinds OF
business and even the very existence OF
the human family depend. Neverthe-
less, we do not believe that any farmer
who has lived with his family in .
town or in d city for one year will care
10 exchange the net profits OF bis farm
for the net earnings Of the average city
dweller.
Some people on the farms think that
q salary OF $50, $40 or $50 beats farm
ing all to pieces. but by the time one
pays $50 month for board. pays for his
laundry. street car fare. clothing etc,
and an occasional visit ''h0me" It
would be found that only small part,
If any, of his salary would BE- left.
This estimate. is on the assumption that
he is an unmarried man. II he is a
married man with family of three or
four children he will require better
salary still il he is able to save any
money. BY the time he counts $s0 or
$s5 month for rent, 81 to $3.50 for
water license, pays 10 to IS cents q
pound for all the meat the family eats,
cents quart for milk, 20 to 80 cents
pound for butter, rs to 80 cents peck
for potatoes and apples, and everything
else in propotion; clothes for the family
books and street car fare for the chill
dren of school age, the bill will pos
lively alarm him unless his salary is
much above the average. +.
In the above estimates we have said
nothing about the difference in the air,

Just after the Civil War that ended
Just thirty years ago. there was req
son for planting all cotton. and buying
corn, hay and bread and meat. by the
Southern farmer. There WAS no money
in the country and no work could De
done without credit and no credit
could be had without cotton. for cotton
was scarce and high. and ready cash.

policy because it putinto their hands

an easy going game, and the farmers
rather liked IL, and they have held on
to the custom with characteristic te-
