Poultry. Points.

We recently saw an article wherein
the writer asserted that it did not pay
to raise more poultry than the farm
could consume.
Then again we recently saw neigh
Dor lady of ours going to the city with a
wagon load of poultry and she purchased
all the winter clothing for three children
with that load
Poultry is like anything else, it pays
If you have the ability to run the busi-
ness in business-like manner 1t is a
side issue that would be sadly missed
from many of our Western farms.
When eggs bring high price is a
poor time to begin feeding egg producing
foods, they may come down. You had
much better keep the hens in laying con-
dition all the time, then you will be sure
to be all right.
One of our neighbors has a flock of
about four hundred White Plymouth
Rock and they present an interesting
sight at feeding time. Formerly he only
kept scrubs and did not pay much atten-
tion to poultry, consequently his flock
did not then make so magnificent a
showing.
In every neighborhood may be found
people who have awakened to the fact
that the more care and interest given to
a flock, the better the results.
The poultry business will show as
quickly as any other the effects of good
or careless management. 1t pays to do
well what ever you do at all. And re-

Money in Breeding Horses.

The breeding of fine horses has been

take an active interest in the subject
and they are in numerous instances pre-
pairing to cooperate in obtaining good
stations. They recognize the fact that
prices are advancing, that the demand
everywhere is for the best horses Of all
classes, and that the future is full of
promise for those who have choice
drivers or draft horses to sell. The day
for scrubs is past and only prime sires
should be used.
The above, from the American Stock
man, voices the horse situation through
out the horse breeding states. Farmers
have at last come to realize the situation
that the world of commerce cannot be
moved without good horses, and that
the increasing home and export demand
must advance prices until we can raise
more horses of the special classes to suit
the markets All along the line now

again, but many of the best mares are
sold off and most of the stations are
gone, SO we have practically to make
new start With the experience of
breeding to suit the markets, we will Sc
lect the best mares we can get and
breed to the best fine stations True
stations of any kind are very scarce but
the enterprising farmer will secure the
services of good sire, regardless ~, the
distance and the price, and with advanc-
ing prices, liberal feed and good care, de-
velop a high priced horse if it is a good
one, and the only way to get a good one
is to breed ight.-Western Agricul-

DIRECT LEGISLATION THE NATIONS
HOPE.

HOPE.
The question is, how can we better the
condition of humanity? Without some
mode of enacting the desired measures
into law all the schemes of reformers
must be nugatory and of no effect. The
archimedean lever destined to uplift hui
manity must be gained by reverting to
direct legislation of the town meeting.
the purest and best government that
ever existed
Our representative government is a
failure Many of our representatives Go
not represent the people, but the in
their election; and our people are invos-
tigating the subject of direct legisia-
ton, that the whole people may have
voice in the solution of all questions
that affect the people. Had single
question been submitted to the last pres
idential election, the question would
have been decided upon its merits. But
owing to the ambiguity of the plat
forms, Gold Democrats were compelled
to indorse protective tariff and the Sill
yer Republicans to vote for tariff for
revenue, both being compelled to vote
for an Objectionable measure to secure
one they did want
There is no remedy for the oppression
of trusts, for the monopolies of greed
for the defrauding of labor, for the en-
forcement of the golden rule, the spread
of true Christianity, and the resumption
of the government by and for the Deo
pie save by direct legislation. 1t is
only by this practical method that any
of the dreams of the reformers, social
lists, single-taXers, Populists or Silver
ties can be realized.
1t will purify politics, abolish
bosses, remove all the ques-
tions of tariff, silver and the
currency from the arena of politics,
abolish or consolidate parties, prevent
the donation of valuable frachises to cor
porations without compensation, and
finally established our government as
that "of the people, by the people and
for the people. u. E. Buck in Appeal to

Latest advices are to the effect that
The dog crop is ample. The supply is
large enough to murder ten per cent of
the sheep crop of 1899.
There was rain enough to give fall
seeded grain a good start, and it goes
into winter quarters in fine shape.
Good seed potatoes may be scarce
next spring and it will pay well to take
the best care of any you may have.
The lightest apple crop on record, is
the verdict of the knowing on the yield
of 1898. Prices are away up.
The demand in the West for sheep
and lambs for feeding continues very
brisk The price is far above the figures
of year ago.
Look out that the vinegar barrel does
not spring a leak. Vinegar made from
apple cider will be scarce and high next
spring.
The supply of hogs in the West seems
to be abundant, and yet prices are well
maintained. Exports are large-greater
than last year.
The clover seed crop of 1898 was light.
Much second crop clover was pastured
and the seed not gathered because of low
prices for the previous crop. Prices
should advance.
There were many barren stalks in the
corn and many poorly filled ears. The
crop of 1898 is not bumper one, but
nearly up to the average of the last ten
years.

1t is leaking out all over the state
that the Populist vote was not counted
only as it pleased the old party election
boards. In Gibson county the Popu-

pointed to secretly look into the matter

Advantages of Civilization.

Go to the monkey, thou voter! Con-
slider his ways and be wise.
Do the monkeys pay ground rent to
descendants of the first old ape who dis
covered the valley where the monkeys
live?
Do they hire the trees from the CHM
panZee who first found the forest?
Do they hire the trees from the great
great-grandchildren of the gorilla who
invented the way to crack nuts?
Do they allow two or three monkeys
to form corporation and obtain con-
troll of all the paths that lead through
the woods?
Do they permit some smart young
monkeys, with superior business ability,
to claim all the springs of water in the
forest as their own, because of some al
legged bargain made by their ancestors
500 years ago?
Do they allow a small gang of monkey
lawyers to so tangle up their concep-
tions of ownership that few will OBJ
tain possession of everything?
Do they appoint a few monkeys to
govern them, and allow those appointed
monkeys to rob the tribe and mismanage
all it's affairs?
Do they build a monkey city and then
hand over the land, and the paths, and
the trees, and the springs, and the fruits
to few monkeys who sat on log and
chartered while the work was going on?
No, my friends, monkeys have
wiser system of municipal government
than that.
Although Kipling speaks of them in
his jungle book as "the people who have
no laws" yet they have laws enough to
prevent the private ownership of pub
lie franchises.
If Prof Garner, who claims to have
learned 40 words of the monkey Ian
guage, were to escort some reflective
chimpanzee around one of our cities, the
professor would find it difficult 70 ex-
plain some of the manners and customs
of civilized world.
The chimpanzee would be amazed to
see $500, 900 house, with 40 rooms, con-
tain only a millionaire and his wife and
10 servants, while a $4,000 tenement,
with 20 rooms, contained 40 people and
no servants.
He would still further oe astounded
to see the warehouse district, where an
abundance of everything was stored,
close to the slum district, where the
people lacked the barest necessities Of
life.
He would be shocked to see an en-
tire street system, with hundreds Of
miles of tracks, thousands Of cars and
employees, carrying millions Of passen-
gers every year, absolutely owned and
controlled by three or four men who
never built car or drove spike.
But when the professor would explain
to him that nine-tenths of the people in
the city were quite content to endure
such evils, and, in fact, grew angry with
anyone who proposed to remove them,
the chimpanzee would say: Take me
back to the forest, and may the Good
Spirit deliver us from civilization''-.
