end, the only end within his control.
Heretofore the cry has been more
Land. until the farm has become big
ger than the farmer. This makes ex-
pensive farming. The necessities of
the hour say, make the farmer bigger
or two animals or two machines or
two men to- do the work OF one Is
wasteful farming. There is NO long
er a remunerative market for the prod
uct of such expensive methods.
s'We must not forget that a part of
our duty is to stimulate a broader and
deeper growth of agricultural citizen
ship. We have something more to live
for than living. We have, as a class,
large duties to perform to the nation,
the state and the community. Our
standing among men is the true meas
ure of the rights and privileges that
will be accorded to us in law or social
relations We have ourselves, not our
stars, to blame if we are underlings.'
s'Every other profession pays large
respect to intellectual power and de-
velopment. Have they secrets more
profound to solve than we? Have they
problems more difficult to comprehend?
No. The farmer stands daily in the
presence of Gods laws, the most pro-
found, the most subtle of all laws to
interpret. On the outside he is met
at all points with the most thorough
ly trained intellectual forces of the
day, all seeking, naturally enough,
their own advantage and advance
ment. He shr'inks from such cOnteu-
ton, for he realizes his lack of intel
lectua1 training. For his own success
in his business he must be better edu-
Gated as a farmer; for his own protec-
ton as a citizen he must study harder
and look deeper into his relations with
his fellow men in this great social and
political compact He needs so much,
and the country needs still more from
him-a higher intellectual comprehen-
sion of what it means, to be an Amer
lean farmer and an American citizen"

to fifteen cents per pound, whereas,
the other two ingredients cost ON an
average less than half aus much. IN
til recent discoveries proved that nitro
gen could be supplied to the soil by
other than artificial means, farmers
were compelled to pay out many thou
sands of dollars for this expensive ele-
ment of plant food. Tt is now known,
however. that certain class of plants
called legumes, has peculiar and dis
tinctive property of absorbing nitrogen
from the atmosphere and transferring
it to the soil. These. legumes, there
fore, among which are such plants as
peas, clovers, ETC., serve a 5 nitrogen
restorer's, and every farmer will find it
to his interest to cultivate them as a
means of securing some of this valua-
BILE nitrogen from the air, and putting
it into the soil, where it is so much
needed, and does so much good to the
growing crop.
Now a few words in regard to phos-
phoric acid. potash and humus. AL
though most soils contain some phOS-
phoric acid and potash, if not in avail
to the growing crop. Like nitrogen,
these elements are so essential to the
plant that if they are lacking in the
soil or are present in only unavailable
condition, so that the plant cannot alb
sorb them, failure is bound to result.
Should there be a sufficient amount Of
phosphoric acid and potash in the soil,
cow peas should be planted, and this
crop will make it's growth on the
phosphoric acid and potash already
present at the same time drawing on
the atmosphere for it's supply of nj
trogen. Then, by turning under the
entire crop of peas, all the nitrogen
absorbed by it will be added to the
soil, besides the humus or vegetable
matter built up within it's tissues, but
so far. as the phosphoric acid and pot
ash are concerned the crop returns 70
the soil only the amounts it has taken
up during the growing season. After
a crop of peas has been turned under
there is not a whit more of phOSphOrlc
acid and potash in the soil than pre-
viously existed there. Therefore, when
peas are followed by some gather
ing nitrogen crop, like potatoes, for
example, the soil is drawn upon for
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
1t can stand this draught so far as nj
trogen is concerned, because the peas
continue to add more nitrogen, but
there lis a cons tant drain Of phOsphor1c
acid and potash, and if the supply OF
these two ingredients is not kept up
the time will come when the soil will
become exhausted of them, and 1t will
be impossible to grow even a crop of
peas. -
With so valuable an aid as cow peas,
the farmer, by following judicioUs
system. has it in his power to greatly
increase the productiveness of his land.
The prudent farmer will carefully
guard against the supply of phOsphOrlc
acid and potash running down, and
will at least endeavor to keep it up to
the standard, or to even increase the
amount in the soil, thus enlarging cor
respondingly it's productive capacity. A

II 1t is true that the national bank
ing law prohibits the officers and en-
ployes OF national banks from testi-
flying under oath whether the bank
pays territorial officers interest on the
deposits Of public funds, how does it
happen that there is no restriction
against testifying under similar cir
oumstanees TO the names Of such de-
positors. even to the character and
amount OF such deposits9
In the recent investigation upon
this subject the witnesses not only
testified what territorial officials were
making deposits Of the public funds,
but even the character of such funds
and the amounts deposited, But when
1t came to asking them whether they
paid to such officers INTEREST," on these
deposits the national banking law
was invoked to shut off the investigas
tion.
Either Of these items were Just as
much the internal affairs Of the sys-
tenn OF national banking as the other.

concluded it was better to bear with
the Barnes administration than to
run the risk of an election that might
elect a set Of state officers from among
the Democrats and Populists, and the
tip was quietly passed abound by the
Repu blican territorial machine to put
the bill to sleep until more opPor-
tune season. llavens didn't like to do
this, but he was forced to acquiesce in
the edct OF the machine.
This is the whole story of the Ha.
vens statehood bill in n nutshell.
There never was day during the
sitting of the legislature before this
edict was sent out, that the bill could
not have been passed over the veto,

fifth section was stricken out and the
bill otherwise amended so as to pro-

that no fairer or juster statehood

THERE is no getting ArounG the fact
that the preachers meetiuiv IN New

tion on the Bible, has not very greatly
helped the cause OF religion. There is
no way OF escaping the fact that the
Bible must, and its statements must,
lie taken on faith--and faith alone
and as there is no other way to take it
the public will be inclined to
ask II it helps the cause to
say IN one breath that the
Bible is piece OF patchwork by var
ious hands, full OF contradictions and
impossible reports, and in the next
that it bears witness TO the divine
trinity. In court Of law the attor-
ney who throws doubt on the chArAc-

There is some quiet inquiry over the
territory as to why the Havens state
hood bill was never called up and
passed over the governors veto, as IL
was understood to be the purpose OF
Senator Havens when he consented
to striking out the ffth section9 There
Is lot OF politics in the reason why
IL was not done.
Senator HGvens would not have con-
aented TO striking out that section had

CHICAGO, August 17.-Strong ca
bles and big cash demand kept wheat
on the road toward higher prices to-
day and caused IN advance of 5sc in
the leading future. Corn and oats SYM
pathized, corn closing 1Ac higher and
oats a shade higher. Provisions adj
vanced 21A@71sc..
The opening in wheat was marked by
a good deal of strength and decidedly
small amount of trading. Spectators
again were influenced by the action of
the Liverpool market which showed
an advance of AQB pence and open
ing prices for September here were 40
&c higher at 74Ac. Besides the firm
ness of Liverpool the market had for
support reports of heavy rains in some
sections of the northwest and with con-
sequent damage to wheat uncut and in
shock. There was moderate demand
from shorts. Offerings were small and
September advanced to call price, 1850
TIC before any influential selling was
done. A reaction to 71Ac followed, but
