way save as direct incentives to riot and

The picture of Mark Hanna's dream on
the third page is a libel SO atrocious-not
on Hanna alone. but on the American
people. that it ought TO justify a prosecu-
tion and the severe punishment of the vii
la.nous publisher. Bryan telegraphed his
thanks yesterday to this abominable
sheet, and his Endorsement of the doc
trines 1t has taught throughout the cam
paign.
These doctrines have been: That the

South should rise up and crush the East;
that the rich hate and Cypress the poor,
and therefore the poor should arise and
despoil the rich; that the employers of

DRAINING THE SWAMP.
How TO Reclaim Land Especially Adapt-d
to Grazing.

to Grazing.
Swamp lands vary greatly in the cost
of drainage, some being very easily
drained, merely requiring a good out
let, and drains to catch the water that
comes down on them from the surround
ing upland. while others having hard
and impervious subsoil near the sur
face. require frequent drains over the
entire surface. Springy swamps are
usually the most difficult to drain well,
as it is necessary TO so cut the bitches
as to tap the streams of water before
il reaches the surface, and this requires
much skill and experience. The ma
ture of the vegetation growing in n
swamp will have considerable influence
on the cost Of reclamation. Many
swamps are ditched and then left with
out any further attempt at rendering
them productive, the owners suppos-
ing that they being rid of their surplus
| water will, like new-cleared upland,
soon produce good pasture without seed
| ing This Is a mistake; the old marsh
vegetation is firmly rooted, and though
the drained land is not well suited to
| its growth, il hangs ON and is replaced
very slowly or not at all by better food.
Now, 81 we have TO spend any money Mt
all on these lands, the only way to get
! IL back is TO keep working on them till
they viii grow good crops of some kind.
Cut Off the brush and break up the wild
grass sod, and get some good tame
grasses growing The most of our
swamp lands, when properly ditched
and cleared, are especially adapted to
| grazing and the production of hay, and
for this reason are usually more proiita-
BILE when owned and farmed in con-
nection with adjoining upland: this Is
especially the ease where mixed farm
ing is followed. Again, the closer and
more compact farm is, the cheaper II
can be worked. In other words, II
may be more profitable to reclaim and
work a swamp than go around and be-
yond this swamp TO purchase upland
because the upland is farther away from
the buildings. The cost of fencing
must also be considered in looking ~
this subject, especially II the swamp Il
already on the farm. So long as the
swamp is unproductive, the adjoining
cultivated field must bear the whole
cost of the fence between them; wher
the swamp is cleared, we increase the
