7 Wheat does not sell for as much
as it once did, but there is no use
crying over fhat. Study the situa-
ton and grow crops which do sell
well, and make the acres produce
more, so that your income will be as
great as ever.
One must not lose sight of the fact
that the final destination of all clo-

If we rotate<a and keep one-fourth

stick to the old ways.
If farm is not so worked as to
produce more than half of what it is
capable, then after deducting ex-

Little things count. We should
not let the corn stocks stand so long
that they will kill out the young

Feeling of the French.

New York, Oct. "A dispatch to the
Times from Paris says: With war be-
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal
imminent, French opinion as to it's justi-
f1cation and probable issue is beginning
to express itself. France sympa thixes
with the Transvaal republic on the same
grounds, with the same motives and in
the same language as she did with Spain.
France is always against the nation
which has the highest civilization, for it
is that which she fears. She is against
Great Britain today because she fears
the power of that nation and is irritated
at having to count with the opinion. pol

Hidden Gold Lost.

Sullivan Ind, Oct. 2.-Wilson Railev. a
farmer, was fond of money in the form of
gold, which he kept at his home. He
would take paper and silver money to
the banks and exchange it for gold. For
safety, it is said he hid the gold in differ
ent places about his farm-first in the
house, then in the barn and lately in the
corn bins.
The gold was kept in old fruit cans and
at night when the members Of his family
were in bed he would steal out of the
house. hunt up the money and see that it
was secure. This was kept up fer years.
but the programme was changed one
night last week, as the gold was missing
from it's hiding place when Mr.. Raiey
made his usual visit.
There are various stories as to the
amount stolen, but reliable authority
places it at about $1,000. Mr.. Railey had
been told time and again that some one
would eventually "catch on" a nd get his
gold, but he did not accept the warning,
