Here is an item handed in by one
of our farmer friends in which
there seems to be whole lot of
truth: Six good brood sows are
enough for the average farmer to
keep, and they should be kept as
long as they will raise good pigs.
Manage them So they will raise
two litters Il year, making in all -
hogs per year. One man can raise
that many hogs and enough corn
to feed them to Il 300 pound
weight. These, 1T average prices,
would bring 5000. or about $50 a
month the year round, on hogs
alone; besides the revenue from
his poultry. cattle, horses and
sheep, which he ought to keep to
use all the rough feed on the farm.

THERE no line of industry that
will bring the farmer of Washing
ton County more steady or larg-
cr revenue than the raising of live
stock for shipping purposes. 1t is
the best business the farmer here
can enter into with the hope of
absolute and quick returns. Even
when conducted on small scale
the resulting profits are often sur
prisiny. Neat cattle are the best
and quickest-selling of all stock,
but money can also be made in
raising mules. hogs and sheep.
The capital required does not need
to be very large, enough to start
with Il few breeding animals will
do, and the natural increase will
double the investment every two
or three years. The losses, with
proper care, will he small and
with an open range the cost of
raising stock is reduced to a mimi
mum. Already this business is
bringing thousands of dollars each
year into the county. The sum
could easily be made two or three
times as great with a little more
attention to the industry. If you
are Il farmer. raise stock and pros

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
the Democrats are showing dipo-
sition to place other issues above
free coinage of silver the danger
to the country from return of
that party to power is still as great
rs ever. The question Of national
expansion is one of minor impor-
tancc beside the propositions
it is intended to cover. The peo-
ple can not afford TO restore to
power a party which cloaks its
zeal intentions with a mantle of
deceit. What the Democratic par
ty would really do if it won on the
anti-cxpansion issue would be to
ovcrturn those institutions upon
which the financial integrity and
industrial welfare of the country
rest, our present monetary system
aud the protective tariff.

The Man Behind The QloW.

1t is not too early for the man
behind the plow to make up his
mind that the present conditions
are good enough for him, and that
he will oppose any new political
experiments at the next national
election. A bad currency Injuries
the farmer as severely as anybody.
Anything that skaters business con-
tidence and puts a stop to new in
dustrial enterprises hurts the man
behind the plow by killing his
home market for agricultural pro-
duets. 1t Injuries the merchant
and manufacturer as well as the
workingmen and farmer, because
we must all suffer or enjoy the
same conditions. The business
world is intensely desirous that
there should be no check to pros
per;ty next year. and it will do all
in its power to keep things as they
are. Will the man behind the
plow do the same.
Agriculture is the greatest Amer
ican industry, employing more
men than any other. The army
behind the plow is as potent for
good or i'll as the army that con-
quered Spain. The men behind
the guns won victory by their
straight shooting, and the men he,
hind the plow must do their share
of straight thinking. Any
crooked reasoning that will shake
the foundations of the present su.
perb prosperity would bring de
feat and loss to the farmers of tho
nation as quickly as to any Other
class. The name of the party in
power matters nothing. We only
know that the principles now in
force are the foundation on which
we have built up the greatest bust
ness-forcign and domestic-tha'
the country has ever had. 1t is
important that none of these foun
dation stones be wrenched out b,
indulging in any political expert
ments, or even arousing Il suspic
ion that any snch experiments art
possible next year. To Il consider
able extent it rests with the MAJ
behind the plow to say that moth
ing of the sort shall happen.
1t is one of the misfortunes OF
our system of government that i
subjects the whole business of tn,
nation to season of dread ant
fear of change once every fou
years. When Il presidential elec
ton comes during hard times i
makes the hard times temporaril
worse, and when it comes in goo'
times it often checks activity. Th
harm is in direct proportion to tn
uncertainty. There is no reaso1
why there should be any sue
harm at all in 1900, because ther
need be no doubt as to the result
, If the agricultural world will br
join hands and say they will Ie
) well enough alone, there will b
, no trace Of any election yea

question to solve, nobody is lik el
!, to do it better than the Presiden

power that you have brought into use in
your machine, which is gravity. Gold
is heavy and always sinks as low as II
can get, and is most always found on
bed rock or on a layer of clay. and that
implies a depth where some moisture
prevails. We are sorry to say it, but in
our opinion your process is failure"
And so it proved as we learned by in
quiry at subsequent visit. and their
loss was heavy. There are few places
in the world where the climate is so
arid and dry that concentrator operat-
ed by wind may be made success, but
unless the earth is previously dried
artifcially land that pre-supposes high
grade material to operate upon, as every
handling costs money! the pay dirt in
the large placer deposits Of New Mexico
can not be made to pay, and they will
not bear that expense.
But we are supposing as all the rest
have done, that the process is operated
by dry air. In this We may be mis-
taken. and the wizard of Menlo park
may have caught on to some principle
unheard of before, and II so he may
after all make a success of it, Let US all
hope that it may be so, and that some
power entirely new is to be brought into
the field to win the yellow dust from its
rocky fastness, and tighten the burden
of the miner.

ed at the last session Of the South Da.

where there is no organized civil town
ships the judges Of election last appoint

The law provides that the board Of
registration shall meet on the last Tues
day next proceeding the day of election,
at o o'clock in the morning, which date
the law fixes as tho last regular meeting
Of the board of supervisors of organized
townships for each calendar year. The
registration board shall continue in ses-
sion until o'clock in the evening.

place Of meeting Of the city council or

add, where they are omitted, the names
of such other persons who are known to
the board to be electors in the precinct,

the time required by the law. may have
their ballot accepted by furnishing an
affidavit showing them to be residents

They will also be required to state the
reason why they were not registered at
the proper time. Affidayits ofthis char
