Farm Investments.

raj ukAiS I'D GA AhSSotLhSAN AoSS
not receive due attention. The
growth Of farm crops takes first
rank as home industry, but the
home builder is not commercial
economist, as a rule. The farm
er keeps no balance sheets. If the
cash returns from the dairy, poul-
try yard, garden, orchard, pasture,
meadows and grain fields meet the
annual store bill the times are
good, and if not the times are
hard. This annual result is the
only measure test of farming as
all investment.
| Not many home-builders il the
farming districts are practical agri'
culturists, dairymen, orchardists
or stockmen any more than the or
binary city business man is prac-
teal chemist, livery stable keeper
and we'll digger. Therefore the
failure of an ordinary farmer to
build up fortune is not test of
farming as an investment.
To be successful in this day
man should be specialist in trade
or profession. With the exactions
of competition on every hand even
the farmers without special advan-
tages cannot hope for universal
success. The principles Of econ
omy are a commercial requirement
of the farmer as we'll as every other
business man. He should also
possess technical knowledge not
only Of farming generally, but Of
special branches of farm work.
The farmer can too often look
back over the years events and
note items Of loss from mistakes
that would more than balance the
totals of profits.
Farming as 1t is generally con-
Quoted is make shift of the rural
household. 1t is not in any sense
scientific. From the variety of
seed selected to the date of harvest
the question of convenience and
perhaps of necessity over shadows
questions of economy. The farm.
ing of the country is not business,
it is a make shift child of the de-
mands of classes and conditions.
When farming becomes a bust
ness it will become classified. The
wheat sower will know only the
condition of the soils aud seasons.
The, best of seed sown i'll the sea
son determined by experiments to
be most certain to bring forth large
yields will be sown upon fields
perfectly titled. and ripened grain
will be harvested when it is ripe
without the danger of delay.
When this condition is fact farm
ing will return sure profits. When
farming becomes a business and
not a make-sh every branch of
wo,ls will be performed by spec.
ialiat. Practical scientific farming
is the coming field for investors in
this land of great natural wealth.

lice Baugh. Deputy Chief Perkins and
Mounted Officer MIenard started for the
scene, On arriving there it was dlscov-
cred that Williams had LEFT for the house
of his employer, Mr. Jacob Blnz, and the
officers proceeded TO that point, where
they were informed that the man they
sought had already started to town to give
himself up. Not wishing to take any
chances, however the officers started in
pursuit ana overlook Williams on the cor
ner Of Louisiana street and Capitol avenue,

The wounded man was 1T first conveyed

MR.. BLAKE FOR ROBSON
THE DIFFERENT HAwLEY SoCIIs
TIES WE'RE SCORED.
Mayor Fly Was Expressly Named
and Did Not Deny II, Though
lie Was Present.

Galveston. Texas, October Eek State
Chairman Blake spoke to a large crowd
at Harmony han tonight and whooped
things up for democracy in a rousing way,
He referred to the congressional campaign
more than any other speaker who has been
here and at the mention OF Judge Robson Is
name the crowd broke into applause. He
paid his respects in no gentle way to the
persons who claim 10 be democrats and
vote for Hawley, putting Mayor Ely at the
foot of this class of political offenders.
He said they deserved to have the mask
stripped from them. MIR Blake set forth
a number of reasons why the people OF Gal
weston and of the entire district should
not vote for Hawley, He showed that
liawlcy is party caucus man ANA when in
congress voted for all the measures of the
republican party He voted for a high FRO
tective tariff, which taxes the poor people
Of the South, He voted for the bond issue
20 carry on the war and against the prop
oslton OF the democrats to tax incomes.
He challenged any one to show that Haw-
ley had done for the benefit OF Galveston
aud while waiting for a reply voice came
from the audience that the poNillsts elected
him two years ago. but that they wouldn't
do 1t this time.
Mr.. Blake said he understood that there
are some democratic offceholders here who
are talking of voting for Hawley, and II so
he pledged his influence to cast them out
of office.
Toward the close of his speech Mr.. Blake
gave few moments to statement
made by Barney Gibbs last night. Gibbs
made tie charge that Blake in his Dallas
Labor Day speech had plagarzed from
Henry W, Grady. MIR. Blake denied 1t
and said he quoted from Grady and from
Bryan, too, and was proud of il. He said
Mayor Fly had put Gibbs up TO make this
charge,
AT the close of this part of Mr..
Blake's address Mayor Fly, who was
in the audience, created commotion
by arising and going to the plat
form 20 deny Mr. Bake's charge thu, no
had given the matter to the paper. which
VAS not charged. He also aneeeu ne N..s
a democrat.
Blake denounced the populist race ,n
this district as a mere Hawley aid society
ara showed how they are trAining with the
republicans In closing he predicted Rob-
sons election by plrrali- of at least
1000 votes.
