the hall with them, treated them with
every possible consideration, and now
when they are needed they sell them
selves at 81 a head. The negroes
have placed themselves on the mar

their prices on them and can be
bought like a bushel of lettuce, a

DISPATCHES from Pana Indicate that
Illinois will have a race war on its
own hands before long, which will
discount in its proportions the recent
conflicts between whites and negroes
in the Carolinas. Imported colored
miners at Pana apparently take the
protection afforded them by the oPer-
ators and authorities as license to dis
regard law and order. and there is 4
growing dissatisfaction on the part of
the white miners with the recklessness
and lavishness displayed. A strong
hand is indeed. as the Springfield
Register saws, needed At Pana to take
hold Of things and preserve the peace.

OWE in Kansas City, Mo, there is

For example, the differences which
have existed between Great Britain
and this country have been adjusted
by statesmen, solely by the applica-

facts. But argument was wasted on
Spain, and nothing but force, nothing

States did not originally seek the ex-

to rise above the average OF his ella
The farmer in particular shoald be
filed with ambition to show the world
that he is something more than an
average farmer. lie should strive to
keep better cows, sheep and hogs than
his neighbors, show better system or
farm management, better crops, etc.
Such man will make larger profits,
and win larger respect from all classes
Too many have an ambition to own
large number of acres, thinking that
will bring them larger respect and
profit, which, however, is not true.
1t is a splendid ambition which leads
man to be fine, skillful farmer,
One can not help admiring such
ability when it is shown in the neat,
well-kept house and grounds, the
spacious, well-painted barns and out
buildings, good fences, well-bred farm
animals and thorough system of farm
management.
Such men are true artists; they have
the artistic sense and ability to con-
struct fine farm picture. Their
neighbors can learn something from
them every day. There is an uncon-
scious tuition which goes out from
their lives and example.
Such farmars are blessing to their
community and their state. MAY
their tribe increase" How much finer
and larger in every sense is it for
young man to have the ambition to be
/ such farmer than to enter the over
crowded professions The towns are
full of men who come from the farm
who might have been a success there.
Many such man has spoken to us bit
terly of the folly of his youth in leav-
ing the farm. Modern agriculture,
with its machinery, improved live
stock, its books, experiment station
reports, dairy schools, colleges and
strong intellectual force at work on
every problem, is different thing
from that of 50 years ago,
A young man of education and abil-
ity can find on the modern farm oppor'
tunity for all the brain power, all the
skill and energy he can mnster The
rewards in money, health, comfort and
true independence of character, as well
as the respect of his fellows, are greater
here than in the town.
1t is larger field, full of the fasci'
mating mysteries of animal and vege.
table life.
Wise is the young man who says
early in life: 81 propose to make OF
myself first-class farmer. | will take
all the advantages that wide reading
and study can bring me. | will show
my ability and my skill in the appear
ance and outcome of my farm. viii
establish neat, tasty farm home that
: will show the passer-by that a man oi

MISSION OF THE FARM.
Tie One who Strives to Raise the hest of
Everything Is Truest to
His Mission.

When man speaks Of the farmers of
state or nation he speaks Of n very
wide diversity of men. Although all
are engaged in tilIing the soil, and
from it raise the pro iuctions upon
which they depend for revenue, yet the
resemblance stops there. The men
themselves are very dsslmilar. We
uoubt if any other class can show such
wide difference in character. ability,
intelligence, and the returns which
come TO their hands. Merchants, law

more nearly alike in talent and ca
pacity than do farmers The

Kidding tho Farm of Weeds.

Warm weather is now here, and
nothing is improving in it more than
the weeds On many farms, while the
farmer is battling with the weeds in
the fields, enough are growing in the
fence corners to feed his whole farm.
The fence corner is the home of the
weed. Last spring and summer we
practiced what | consider good plan
with our fence rows. After every
rain, and while we could do nothing
else, we put on our gloves and pulled
all the weeds along our fencee-for
nearly all can be pulled while the
ground is wet Then they are out for
good. This was not quite SO fast as
moving with a scythe, but we were
satisfied in the fall that our fence cor
corners furnished no weed seed. Keep
the weeds out of the fence corners and
save half the trouble in the fields

Sheep scab Yields Promptly to Proper
Treatment.

DR.. Salmon also says: "The disease
OF scab is one of the most serious draw.
backs to the sheep industry, and re-
suits in enormous financial losses. Yet
despite its insidious nature, its ease OF
transmission, its severe effects, and iti
prevalence in certain localities, it is
disease which yield readily to proper
treatment. If all the sheep owners o.
the country would dip regularly anc
thoroughly, there is no reason why
this scourge should not be totally Grad
icated from the United States. There
should be stringent scab laws in every
state with state inspectors to see thai
those laws are carried out. "-Agricul
