UsakSSCETEO STOCK.
Why Pouitrylnen Should Aim to Secure
 UoiforTnity in the Flock.


 Go into any harngar or poultry yard and the.chances are that the stock will be found of all grades, shapes, colors and sizes. Among the lot will be found some excellent layers, but the whole lot will prove nnpro6table. ow- ing to .uu luuc.l rubbish
 Yet there ere hundreds who annually winter cve- and feed scrubs that show no signs nf t1r,it. and which give the hn..!< the appearance of being mixed to such au extent as to destroy even the prospect oi better results in the fu- ture.
 This is due to the failure of farmers to secure uniformity in the flock. There is no excuse for having little of every thing good and bad as the use of pure-hred males will overcome all such obstacles. We do not mean to claim that the farmer should use pure bred fowls only, for the crosses are ex- cellent, but if crosses are to be used, let some judgment be used in securing such crosses. Breed for just what you want, using certain males and females for that purpose, and not turn out the whole flock together and then trust to chance for the character of the of spring. There'is too much useless ma terial in nearly all focks, but it can be bred out.-Prairie Farmer.

IAN UNGRATEFUL WORLD"

''Let the world take care of itself, for it will never take care of you in time of diversity" This is the con- clusion reached by Miss Phoebe Couz- ins after spending a lifetime in trying to reform" the world.
 Miss Couzins made the mistake that SO many misguided people make She tried to compel people to believe as she did, and when they refused to be convinced against their will she rails at humanity for being ungrateful She forgot that other people are as welded to their ideas of right and wrong as she was to hers.
 Reforming the world is all well enough in it's place, provided it can be definitely settled just what is the right way to reform it and just who is the right person to do the work. But the conclusion reached by Miss Couzins, that the best thing to do is to take care of yourself and let the world do the same, is the wise, the philanthropical conclusion that is eventually reached by all those who are not pleased with existing conditions, and think they have a mission to teach the world how to be good
 The trouble with our times is that there is too much of this sort of busi- ness and too little individuality. Too many people allow others to do their thinking and give up their own feel ings, desires and ambitions in order that people of stronger minds may have their way. It is the individualist, the man who declines to interfere in other peoples business, and refuses to allow others to interfere with his. who gets along with the least friction. and who usually makes a success in life. | In other words, if we may be allowed to paraphrase the conclusion of Miss Couzins. mind your own business and give other people the same privilege SC long as they do not interfere with you Use your influence to better conditions but do not expect the public to be grateful to you.

Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums.

the cities had drawn to themselves the interest from the country, afraid to invest it anywhere else; they had boomed one city after another. After buying real estate, they improved it, which gave labor in the cities employ ment. But the pressure even then was on the country. In the country all forms of property not held up by arti- ficial means had in eighteen years, up to 1891, fallen in value 25 per cent.
 The result was that farming did not pay and so all the surplus population of the country gravitated to the cities In that year there was a little help to the farmer, because famine in Russia gave to the farmers for once a fairly reasonable price for their products, and gave an abnormal prosperity for that year. The Commercial Advertiser was sharp to select that particular year. But under the same government times grew so hard that when 1894 came along the people rose up and put that administration out, which was a cer- tain proof that something was going on which was sapping the hopes of the people.
 It was not a free silver clamor; it was not that the country was not on a sound gold basis; it was simply be- cause two-thirds of what was called money was not money at all, and the per capita of real money was so small that, following a natural law, when measured by property, property con- tinually decreased in value That was the reason, and if MT. Mckinley shall be elected this year, we do not care what tariff law is passed, the govern ment will continue to fall behind, be- cause the people at large are so poor that they cannot support the govern ment.
 The matter has passed beyond the reach of the tariff. The financial sys- tenn must be overhauled and corrected, or if MT. Mckinley or any other man is elected president, he will have to re- sort to the same means to keep his re- serve full that MT. Cleveland has had | to.

NOT ENOUGH MONEY.

The Commercial Advertiser is very bitter. Under the title Money Enough" it says:
 When free silver champions assert that this country is suffering from a paucity of money they are guilty eith- CT of attempting to falsify incontest- able facts or of gross ignorance.
 Not even Senator Teller will deny that in 1891 this Nation reached the greatest prosperity it had ever known. Every branch of industry was flourish ing, labor found ready employment and wages were the highest in the his tory of the government. Yet during that year the average per capita circu- Ration was only $23.4 On the con- trary, in 1894, when the Nation was in the vortex of disastrous panic, the average per capita circulation was $2428 If more money means pros perfty, why did it not prevent the bankruptcy and ruin of the Cleveland panic?
 It is not the quantity, but the qual- ity of money that counts. Given stable standard of value, backed by protection to every form of American industry which needs it, the United States will witness the full restoration of the Republican prosperity of 1891.
 If the editor of The Advertiser had $100,000 in the bank and had checks out against that s1OO,0OO for 95,OO0; and if he had d large manufactory
 
 and had time cheeks out against that for S20,0GO, and if he had given his note for s50,000 in part payment for the manufactory. how much real money would there be in the whole bus mess? Would 1t be the amount of the real money, the cheeks, the time checks and the notes, or would it. just be the $1OO.OOO?
 The United States has said that gold is it's exclusive standard. Of that sub stance it has. or at least is supposed to have. about enough ito give $S.50 per capita, and the rest of the money of the United States iG, like the checks, the time-checks and the promissory notes, so that really all that is pertinent in the foregoing is ia the last paragraph, in which the editor says it is not the quantity, but the quality of the money that counts. That is absolutely true. That being true, only the $60O,O00, ,OOO in gold in our country counts.
 Prices are measured by that, and the result is that measured by the arbi- trary standard, all forms of property are steadily falling. What Senator Teller would say would be this: What the country needs is not any more promises to pay, but more primary money, and so much of it that, meas ured by property, property would be worth as much as the money, so that prices would cease falling and begin to advance. And then, with that done every man who had surplus money would go to private box, draw it out Invest it In property, make improve ments, give labor employment ant start the country again on a course O legitimate prosperity.
 In 1891 the country was, in so far a! the cities and the skilled labor wer concerned, prosperous. The men il

Tucson Star: Tucson is enjoying the most prosperous summer experi- enced for twelve years, and as the heated term continues the business outlook grows more encouraging.
