NO Remedy for Farmers"
(San Francisco CALI

(San Francisco CALI
The condition of agriculture in Eng
land has long been OF a nature so dis
astrous, both to landowners and lease
holders, as to produce among them a
state of chronic discomfort. Recently.
however, affairs have gone from bad to
worse and at the present time they are
in a condition SO hopeless that Lord
Salisbury is reported to have declined
to receive a deputation OF farmers on
the expressed ground that he knew of
his own knowledge all they had to COM
plain of, but could see no way of REM
edying the evils.
Bad as this condition is, it is rem
dered worse by the fact that there
seems to be no hopeful outlook for the
farming industry Of England in the
future. The only possible help would
be the establishment of high protec-
tive tariff on farm products.

Prosperity.
The Wheat and the Hens and the Gown
and the Kids and the Cherries
All Feel II.

|.
Emporia, (Kan. Gazette.1 a
The fellows here In town who
never get into vanished buggy
and view the landscape DER have
an idea that the wave Of pros.
perity promised last fall is not
here. The town isn't doing much
Its true. But out in the coun-
try the wave has come. 1t ca.
resses the tawny coat of the
wheat.
Wheat is fairly jumping up In
the market and in the Kansas
fields. The wave is laying the
laughing tresses Of the alfalfa
that lies thick 10 the uplands.
The first crop is in the stack.
second cutting is almost ready
The price is good and stiff. and
the little pigs in the COW lot will
soon be turned on the field and
begin to fill ont for the fall mar.
ket. The wave of prosperity Is
on the pigs.
They are sousing in it, wallow-
ing in 1t, and making their owners
more money today than they
have since Harrison left the
White House.
The old hen is scratching in
prosperity and the young fries
are running about with the wave
hitting them so hard that their
tail feathers get pushed in faster
than they can grow out. The
chicken market was never better.
The COW and the hull and the
old red steer are knee deep in
prosperity. The wave has struck
them, and they are tromping
around sloshing the still waters
of contentment all over the old
man and the boys whenever they
go ia the lower pastures.
And when the missus and the
kids go into the COW lot with the
three.legged stool and the tin
bucket and the two;auaft cup
for the ..strippings. " that wave
of prosperity just naturally cools
the women.s temples and washes
the kinks Of woe of their. minds.
and The b.r.r-r of the milk on the
bottom of the bucket becomes
the sound of trowel aud hammer
upon the air castles over the hills
and far away.
You are Just mighty right-the
wave has come to the COW lot.
And it has struck tine corn field
and the oats patch. 1t is surg
ing all over the farm. Down in
the orchard where the cutworms
haven't damned things up-the
wave is tapping upon the trunks
of the trees. and blackberries and
gooseberries have to be skinned
of the crest Of the wave every
morning with road scraper.
Pretty soon the peaches and
the cherries will be on the wave,
and then it will take q tin roof TO
gather them.
When the wave gets done
s!ashing around the farm 1t will
flow into the town. 1t will ooze
little by little into the bank &C.
counts. into the -four bins, into
the oil cans that grease the lawn
mowers.
Then it will fill the paint buck
ets and timber up the brushes
and we will paint up and look.
pretty.
The,wave has struck the coun-.
try; 1t has inundated the farmsS
just hold your horses and it will
get to town. For the wave has
come.

This was a very able treatment
of a subject with which the

familiar.

LAST DAY.
The last days session OF the
State Teachers Association
proved to be a very entertaining
and profitable one. The great
Interest manifested throughout
was not In the least abated. aud
the attendance was probably
greater. The program was car
ried out as near as practicable.
but q number of persons were
disappointed not to herr Prof. L.
]. Corbly, of Huntington, speak
of his observations in Germany,
as expected. The gentleman
from Marshall College declined
to discuss the topic, as it did moi
necessarily bear on educational
issues.
The ablest and best received OF
the numerous papers read before
the association, was that Of Prof.
D. W. Shaw, superintendent Of
the Reform School. Pruntytown.
He showed among other things
that that institution is different
from others. in that it never has
any holidays
Boys may come and boys may go,
But the school goes on forever"
The afternoon session was
opened with the report of the
various committees. The resolu.
tions endorsed the compulsory
school law, and advise its en-.
