What are the events that have effect

stagnancy to unparalleled activity?
They may be briefly summarized: The

in higher prices for farm products. The
effect of these last named events has
been cumulative as shown in the .nl-

four lean years from 1898 20 1886

How different were the conditions
two years ago The gloom of disap-
pointment over the generalization Of
unreasonable expectations paralyzed
business. Discomfort reigned in shop,
office and farm, because the election
of November, 1896, had not lifted mort
cages, set wheels to humming nor
stimulated trade. The business world
still suffered from the lack of conf
dence that precipitated and had pro-
longed the panic of 1898. The ground
hog of prosperity that had peeped from
his hole after the November election
had not reappeared. The bank clear
ings for the week ending Feb. %, 1897,
were $7S3, ,420 055. These were 1874 per
cent. below those for the corresponding
week in 1896 Trade was stagnant, all
business was in the depths of doubt and
mistrust. Everything was waiting IN
events" as the commercial agencies
put it. In twenty-four months events
have worked a marvellous change. Last
week the bank clearings were $2,15i,-
1893, ,992, an increase of 394 per ceat.
over those of the corresponding week
last year and almost 175 per cent.
greater than those of the correspond
ing week of 1897 given above. Perhaps
the contrast may be better expressed
thus

Women and Refinement.

Farm work from necessity is much OF
it dirty work, and the natural tendency
of being obliged to constantly do dirty
work is to become in some degree indif-
ferent to the refined side of life. This
tendency must be constantly guarded
against, for cleanliness and refinement
are almost inseparable. The woman in
the farm home has more to do with the
maintenance of refinement in the mem
bers of the home and the home itself
than any other person. A rough and
ready, happy-g o-lucky management of
the farm home by its mistress will soon
beget on the part of the children and
the men of the house, a roughness
coarseness and indifference to the little
courtesies and niceties of living which
should have no place in such home.
1t will manifest itself in the serving Of
the meals and in the general style in
which the household work is done.
Nothing save the influence and example
of refined womanhood prevents one half
of the men from reverting straight back
to savagery and barbarism. Woman
should recognize this responsibility more
than she does, and never, even with all
her work and family cares, lose sight of
the fact that she is the custodian OF
whatever refinement her family may
possess.

A Bouquet Of Wild Flowers.

There are about forty varieties Of
golden rod growing in America. To the
man who is all business, they are weeds
and a pasture pest alone. To him who
has little foolish sentimentality in his
makeup, they come in all their golden
beauty to decorate the roadside and
fence corner with September grace.
One may Gull the garden Of its choicest
floral products and yet utterly fail to
secure, from our standpoint, so choice
and delicate floral treasure as is the
boquet of September wild flowers picked
by roadside, in pasture lot, and by
timber edge, as laden orchards, harvest
moons. and shortening days proclaim
that the harvest Is past and the s.%. .s-
ended.

The Moral Risk.

A farmers mutual insurance company
in one of the northeastern counties Of
Iowa has at last run up against the
moral hazard connected with the in
surance business, an unregenerate old
granger having deliberately over-insured
his farm house and then set fire to it.
The mutual companies organized by the
farmers have paid but little attention to
the moral hazard Of a risk, generally
accepting any application from farmer
without any such close investigation as
is given by the stock companies to this
particular phase of the matter. 1t may
be well to give this thing more attention.
In the case referred to the company will
either have to stand 81 600 loss or be
at the expense of tedious and expensive
lawsuit

The Best WAY.

Perhaps there is no more sensible
manner in which the old man who is
loath to give up his farm can end his
days than to retain the old home which
has SO many sacred associations connect
ed with it and build comfortable ten
ant house for the use of some good man
to be hired by the month to carry on the
old place. The old man, while be can
not work any more, still likes to boss the
job as we'll as he ever did, and this plan
gives him the chance, while if he moves
to town he soon finds himself without
anything to do, except to loaf around the
stores and monkey with politics by rum
ming for county supervisor, neither of
which in the long run are good things
for him. Keep the old farm home; get
a nice, low, easy carriage SO you and
mother can 60 to town with comfort;
build the tenant house, get good man
and take comfort bossing him as long as
you live.

81 would like to see light frost to
ripen up the corn" said farmer to US
the other day. Our friend was mistaken
in thinking that frost under any circum-
stances can be Of benefit to the corn
plant. A frost which will but slightly
shrivel the leaves of the corn is always a
positive injury to it. Corn which is
even slightly frozen before the maturity
of the ear, win invariably have soft
cob and be hard corn to keep in crib.
Moreover, the kernels will be found to
be loose on the cob. Dry and hot
weather will hurry corn towards matur-
ity, but frost never.

Follow Their Leader.

A flock Of blackbirds numbering at
least thousand, massed for their fall
fight to southern ATTITUDES to pass the
winter, were sailing high overhead as we
watched them one evening recently. All
at once single bird left the center of
the flock and flying at right angles with
the main flock gracefully lowered itself
to the top Of large tree. Now, what
curious impulse led all that vast flock to
follow that one? But down they all
came and in moment were all chatter
ing in the tree tops. We have fred into
a large flock Of wild geese on the wing
and wounding single bird, which has
sailed slowly to the earth from his
fellows, have seen him followed by the
whole flock. A flock of sheep will per-
sist in all jumping over break in a
fence if the first one in the flock does,
even if there be an open gate close by
through which they might easily pass.
We have seen a single decoy pigeon in
the old pigeon days of the SOS call down
ten thousand birds flying over at the
height of half mile. But these curious
actions of gregarious birds and animals
are not more curious than those Of
gregarious man, for time and again has
a man by striking out alone at right
angles with the established order of
things, soon found himself followed by
an army of patriots, intent on righting
some wrong, or by frenzied mob intent
only on brute violence and savagery. II
would seem as though most gregarious
animals and birds let the few do the
thinking for the many.

If you have an or chard ofyoung trees,
it will pay to look out for the borer. Elk
anime the tree just where it leaves the
ground. II you find little pile of fine
sawdust, there is borer at work. Take
your knife and cut in until you find the
little rascal. Mash him, and if not too
high up on the trunk Of the tree where
he commenced his work, hill up the
wound with earth. This borer is liter
al worm at the root and is responsible
for the loss of no end OF our best fruit

BY some subtle process of moral
reasoning there can be found not few
farm tenants who think it perfectly
legitimate to steal all they can from the
man whose farm they work. IL is this
evil which makes the farm owner look
with so much favor upon the cash rent
system. Thresher men could tell some
funny stories if they would, about the
tenant and the absentee landlord OH the
share rent deal.

Waste Places.

The possible products Of what are to-
day the waste places Of western farms
are almost beyond calculation. Waste
places in the fields. Waste places on
roadsides. Waste places on every head
land and fence row. Waste places in
orchard and garden. Waste places in
timber lot and meadow. Nature seizing
upon all these waste places 10 grow
weeds, weeds, weeds. Not more land is
it that you want, but the ability and
sense to better use that which you al
ready have. 1t takes brains to grow
sixty bushels of corn to the acre, while
any fool can grow weeds. Reclaim all
the waste places before you buy more
land.

Closely fed blue grass pastures are al
most worthless in dry time; moreover
if SO fed, the weeds are bound to get a
strong foothold. The divided blue grass
pasture is every way better, letting half
of the grass grow and mature, to be used
during the dry time. If old bossy's
opinion of blue grass pasture could be
obtained it would be that it needs to
rain about every other day to keep it in
Just the right shape for her.

He is one of the most successful
farmers whom we know-successful in
raising the finest Of crops and in making
money off his farm, and he lately told us
that all his blowing was finished up by
the last day of August and that he con-
sidered the blowing of the land during
July and August of as much fertilizing
value to the land as an October blowing
coupled with coat of manure. And he
was not far from the truth either.

Tie Importance Of palatability of the
ration for stock, especially for the mich
COW, should always be kept in mind.
The COW has very nice and refined tastes
as to her food supply, and there is no
doubt but that the sense of taste is as
highly developed with her as with a
man. Hunger will force both the man
and the COW to eat wholly distasteful
and unpalatable ration, but food SO eaten
cannot be and never is, Of so much value
as food which is tasty and palatable and
which is eaten with relish. The COW
is but a machine for converting raw
vegetable material into milk, and the
more Of such food she can be induced
to eat and assimilate, the larger will be

With land worth $50 per acre, timber
lots can hardly be maintained with pro-
fit unless they can DO pastuled. Blue
grass will do we'll with the surface Of
the ground at least half shaded. We
should learn how to better combine the
wood and the pasture lot. Most of us
insist on having either all grass and no
trees, or else all trees and no grass. The
two should be combined.

Man assumes the right to determine
what shall, and what shall not be allow
ed to live on this earth, and too many
men are unwilling that anything on
nd, in water or sky, shall live, unless
such life can be made to minister to their
personal profit. The right to live is
God-given, and nature visits some
terrible penalties for mans officious
interference with this right.
