away up, beyond the means of
many to purchase.
Now, let US look at the current
prices of the cereals. In New
York wheat is quoted at 75 to 7S|
cents bushel; corn, SO to 80; !;
rye, 55 to 60; oats, 26 to %.
Thus we have it; meats way up
and the cereals way down. Farm
ers generally do not realize that
growing and selling cereals tends
to impoverish their soil |; while
growing and selling meats, when
judiciously conducted, has the
contrary effect. Their efforts are
mainly expended in producing
that which brings them the least
profit. And why is this? We
have not far to look to find the
correct answer. Several years
ago the meat barons undertook
to control all the fresh meat trade
of the United States by erecting
meat houses in every considerable
town, and selling fresh meats
from the cheap lands of the west
lower than they could be grown
on cultivated farms in the eastern
and middle states. They sue.
ceeded so we'll that growing meat
in these states became unprofit-
able and was abandoned. Local
butchers ceased slaughtering, be.
cause they had nothing to slaugh
ter, and they became merely re
tailers of western meats. Getting
control of all the markets, and
driving eastern producers out of
the business, the barons com.
menced increasing their prices,
until now great many citizens
can lily afford 10 eat any meat at
all. And is not this about the
history of all trusts ! 1t behooves
most farmers now to decrease the
production Of grain and grow
more of what pays better-meats.
And at the next governmental
election vote only for honest men,
who are sacredly pledged to
squelch all robber trusts.

DR.. GALEN WILSON.

RAISE MORE STocK.-A New
York daily has the following to
say on the subject stated at head
of this item:
The increase in the price of
meat, whatever its cause, is a
very serious fact. But there is
no reason why it should be a per-
manent fact, as some of the
experts have predicted it will.
Cattle, sheep and hogs are not
Holsters and oysters. There is no
danger of exhaustion of the sup
ply. When it runs low it can be
increased. Meat throughout the
east, and especially in New York,
is now selling at prices that make
live stock an exceedingly profit
able thing to raise. Any farmer
who has any animal fit for the
butcher has something that is as
good as cash. And it is not nee.
essary to have a section of west
ern bottom land to make money
in this way. The rockiest aban.
doned farm in Vermont can be
made to support stock. The peo.
pie in the cities are hungry and
clamoring for meat. The farmers
want to make money. Let de
mand and supply come together
here, and both sides will be
happy.
On the same date another New
York city paper quotes good
native steers at $5 60 to Sc per
cwt.; hogs, $5 to $5.15; sheep
$500 to 81, all live weight. The
Rochester, n. Y, Chronicle, Au.
gust 1G, has the following to say {:
"Vegetarians will not resent the
recent action of the Chicago meat
combine in advancing the prices
of meats y cents a pound. Amer
leans would have better health if
they ate less meat, and the dear
er the meat barons make their
products, the less will be eaten"
| quote the last only to show the
large advance recently made in
the price of meats, having no very
kind feeling towards the vegeta-
rians, who, in numbers, as COM
pared with the whole population,
are as but one in a thousand.
Most people seem to require meat,
especially the laboring classes,
and it is their right to have it.
Nature gave them incisors to bite
and rend, and molars to masticate,
plainly indicating meats as a
proper diet for them. The prices
of meat animals and meats are

OREGON WHEAT.
A Wheat Swindle.
r T. Terry, in Practical Farmer.

T. B. Heskett, Lagrand, Oregon,
has kindly sent me three fine
punches of wheat heads, of diff
terent varieties. He wishes to
know how they compare with
wheat heads that grow in Ohio.
The moment l opened the box l
said to myself, now l understand
better how they get such large
yields in the North west. The
heads are much longer and better
filled than any average wheat
heads ever are here. The grain,
however, is not any better than
we grow, perhaps not quite as
plump as ours was this year. The
straw is larger and stronger than
we ever have. These heads will
be preserved as a beautiful illus
tratlon of what nature can do
where conditions are right. But
she has not favored us with a eli
mate in which such heads can be
grown. 1t is remarked by every
one who ices them that thev look
As though they we're artificial :;
that they are too wonderfully
perfect to be natural.
l have just received a letter
from certain firm offering me
some seed wheat of varieties that
have averged 46 bushels per acre
for several years (2) as they say.
am asked to sign wheat order

one year from date, 5 bushels of

one bushel l receive. But they
will not send more than Is bush

only let you have this seed to
grow a sample field to advertise

The following is my reply: No.

Says Count Was Made too Fast.

cial. The farmers of Troap coun-
ty held an enthusiastic meeting
in the courthouse this morning
for the purpose of organizing and
putting on foot some scheme by
which the price of cotton can be
raised. Three are four hundred
farmers were present and Judge
F. NJ. Longley, a practical farmer,
was made chairman of the meet
ing.
A prominent cotton buyer and
classer, also farmer, showed how
thousands of bales of cotton are
counted twice. and declared he
was strongly of the opinion that
the United States has never in
one year made as many as II,
100000 bales. A suggestion of
this cotton buyer brought forth
hearty applause. 1t was that the
merchants, farmers and all who
are requested by Neill, Alexander
Latham & Co., and others to give
estimates as to the cotton acreage
yield, etc, refuse to do so.
Every time such information
is given it tightens the cord on
the farmers purse" he said.
A more perfect scheme for get.
ting the actual number of bales
of Gotten was suggested and an
effort will be made to put it in
operation. 1t was suggested that
the ordinary of each county get a
list of the public gins of the coun-
ty, each proprietor being fur
nished with postal cards addressed
to the commissioner of agriculture,
and every Saturday these cards,
showing the number of bales gin
ned during the week, be mailed
to the commissioner. This plan
is simple and practical and it will
not take over a dollar or two from
each county to furnish the cards
for the reports. Reports under
this plan would be absolutely
accurate. A resolution in accor-
ance with this suggestion was
unanimously adopted.
The farmers, merchants and
bankers of Troup county having
ths day met in pursuance of a
previous call to consider some
plan Of cooperation among the
farmers, whereby an adequate
price my be obtained for the

toilpwing:

Thousands Whose Situations

a man lies fat on his back, bound SO that
he cannot move an inch. He is in dun
geon, at first dark as well, but in few min
utes light in the ceiling, far up, shows a
mechanical figure Of Time with his scythe.
The figure descends slowly, the scythe
swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed IS
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pit and the Pendulum"
The man awaiting the approach of a
dreadful death is a type of large class of IN
fortunatcs who, entangled In the strangling
coils of an octopus, have lost all hope of free
dom. This monster is Morphine. Perhaps
the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use Of the drug. Ifso, like the man in Poes
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell
ing and is unaware of his danger. Maybe
the disease has progressed so far that the
sufferer notices weakness of the heart ac-
ton, that the general health is feeble the
body poorly nourished, the sight double.
This is soon followed by a peculiar twitch-
Ing of the muscles, numbness of the hands
and feet, and the utter collapse of the
nervous system. The victim now becomes
