After Cheaper Lands.

There is general movement from the
$50 farm lands of Illinois to the SAC
lands of Iowa and from the $40 Iowa
farms to the $40 Minnesota farms, the
mover in each case largely increasing
the area of his farm and in many cases
securing land of greater fertility. 1t is
today perfectly safe for any man to buy
good land anywhere in the northwest
no matter how remote at present from
railway facilities, for no man will be al
lowed to long remain over fifteen miles
from depot. The average farmer of
Illinois, Iowa, southern Minnesota, east
ern Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska al
ready has choice of two or more mar
kets within usual range of twenty
miles and less. Where the good land is,
there the roads are bound to go sooner
or later, and if good land can now be
bought for from $40 to $40 per acre be-
cause of the lack of transportation facil-
tiles, you take it, it's your chance, for all
good land in the northwest has an in
herent value of not less than $40 per
acre inside OF twenty years.

Adaptation to Changed Conditions.

1t is interesting to note how birds and
animals will change their habits in the
effort to adjust themselves to changed
conditions wrought by man. For in.
stance-the bats have found out that
the best place to get harvest Of food is
in the glare of the arc light, and so, not
withdrawing they are especially design
ed to seek their food and perform all
their functions of life in the dark, we
find them frequenting the vicinity 0i
every electric light and darting through
and through the swarm of insect life
which on every warm evening gathers
around the are. They seem unable 10
seize their prey close to the light, the
brilliance and intensity Of the arc prob
ably binding them, but catch the bugs
in the shadows of the circle some twenty
feet away. The swift invariably builds
its nest in an unused chimney, and still
time was, and not so very long ago
either, when there were no chimneys,
and we are left to suppose that hollow
tree trunks were used instead The
martin always seeks building erected
and occupied, or an imitation house
erected for its use, in which to nest; yet,
still, there were martin birds long before
there were houses, and no one knows
just where they then built. The spar
row, by prompting every available nook
and corner in buildings in the cities has
compelled an entire change in all forms
CT exterior architectural ornamentation
of buildings, such as cornice, window
trimmings and the like, no design now
being used which permits the building
OF sparrow's nest within it, The spar
row and the house martin, together,
compelled the abandonment of the early
types Of arc lights because of the persis-
tency with which they built their nests
in them. The grosbeak will slit pod Of

A Bad Mistake to Make.

He made pitiful mistake somewhere

dren who were married and settled, was
there place for him. He had enough
SO that ne did not have to go to the poor
house, it is true, but this in no sense
mitigated the pitiful fact that his own
would not give grandpa place at the
fireside and the table. Who was to
blame? Let us be mercifnl and say that
he did not realize in the years lost and
gone, when the little folk were all his
own, that then was the time to have SO
cultivated their love. friendship and re-
spect, that all doors should have been
wide open all the time for grandpa.
Honest now, you men who read this, it
will pay you to have the love and respect
of your boys and girls - have their
friendship-and if you think that by
Just feeding, clothing and educating
them you have done all they have
right to ask Of you, you have made the
worst mistake you ever made in your
life. The day will come for you when
the love of your child will seem worth
more to you than all your land, all your
stock, all your bonds and mortgages,
and to have this priceless blessing when
you grow old and feeble, you must lay the
foundations for it with those little folk
now in your home.

Profit In Sheen

English farmers keep sheep profitably
on land which is worth from 500 to $500
per acre. They are kept not for their
wool, but for their value as farm fertil-
izers and for the high-priced mutton
which they produce. 1t is an establish
ed fact that pound of mutton can be
produced on a western farm at as little
first cost as pound of beef or pork In
selling value the mutton holds its own
with either. II we add to this fact the
wool crop, which even at low price
will pay for the food eaten by the sheep,
and the value of the sheep as a farm
fertilizer and utilizer of otherwise waste
products, it proves beyond doubt that
flock of sheep, say, seventy-five ewes
on quarter section farm, is one Of the
most profitable investments which can
be made. We know there is the dog
and the wolf and the lack OF proper
fencing with so many, but by yarding at
night near the house the first may be
avoided, and flock of the size named
will Justify the employment of boy for
herder during part of the year when
it is desirable to give the flock the range
of the fields outside regular pasture.
All the territory north Of AZ degrees ly-
ing in the northwest is specially adapted

A steady falling off in butter produc-
ton is noted through all the dairy sec

men, generally, are raising their calves

to let the calf suck the COW is greater

We know of two men who today are
the envied owners of two herds of very
choice registered shorthorn cattle, and
each one of these men, a matter of ten
years ago, made his start in this line
with but one two-year-old heifer in cali
by registered bull. 1t looked like a
very small start, but the men were en-
terprising if they were poor, and got
their start at an outlay Of about SO

The news is that Secretary Alger has
resigned the war portfolio in the Presi-
dents Cabinet This will at least sat
isfys so much of popular clamor as has
demanded the resignation of the Sec
retary. Whether all the complaints
against his direction of the office are
well founded will be determined only
when in the calm of time they may be
examined with perfect impartiality. 1t
is true, however. that the Secretary
has not been a satisfactory incumbent
of the Office in several respects, and
that a more adroit, far-seeing and
polite man would have enkindled far
less enmityq in the: office, though it is
one that at any time calls down the
sharpest. criticism upon it. Such has
been. the experience of every Secretary
who has held the post in time of war.
But Secretary Alger would seem to
have been especially unhappy in ad-
ministration of the affairs of his de-
partment to the satisfaction of the gen.
eral public. Whether he will develop,
because of the political situation III
