STREET RAILWAYS
INDICATE PROSPERITY.
Their Business Has Increased Thirty
four Per Cent Since 1894.

The street railways of America now
represent the enormous investment in
bonds and stocks of 81, 800, 600, 900, upon
which investors are receiving annually
over $7O,OOO,OOO in dividends and inter-
est. Salaries and wages amounting to
$250,0o0,OOO a year are distributed
among 100000 employees necessary to
equip, operate and manage this great in
dustry, repair it's 10000 miles of track,
handle its 10000 cars, and meet the ever
pressing demands for improvement.
Directly and indirectly over 100000
persons depend upon the traction inter-
ests of America for their livelihood. An
industry of such proportions penetrates
and more or less affects all other enter.
prises in the country which sustains it.
Nine-tenths of the business men and
women Of the United States look to the
management Of street railway companies
to furnish them with swift, comfortable
and safe transportation to and from bust
ness. The business of these companies
has increased 80 per cent since 1894,
when the people could not afford to ride
as much as they do now.

DO YOU WANT II

In 1892 this country was more
prosperous chan ever before. EN-
ployment was more general and
wages higher than they had ever
been.
The people, misled by the asser-
tons Of the Democratic ofice-seek-
ers, tried the experiment of chang
ing the policy Of the government
on the tariff question.
What was the result?
On the very day following the
election business began to decline,
dealers Cancelled their contracts
for home manufactures, factories
reduced their working forces and
curtailed their orders for the pro-
duct of the mine, the forest and
he field, and uncertainty took the
1lace Of confidence in the business
world.
What followed?
Every workingman, every en-
ploye and every farmer whose
market was thus curtailed remem-
bers. There was a panic, depres-
sion, gloom, enforced idleness and
want.
All this was the result Of a
change in our tariff policy which
affected the great manufacturing
interests and which threatened la
Dor.
Bryan, now threatens to lower
the tariff and take away protection
from labor.
Do YOU want it? If so, vote for
Bryan and you will get it.

DO you WANT II

Remember the panic, the depres-
sion, the idleness and want of
1896. That was. the result of
a change of policy in only one great
factor Of our national welfare.
The election Of Bryan would
mean a return to all the causes
which led to that panic. 1t would
also add to them two other equally
potent auses for panic-a change
Of currency and a change in our
foreign policy.
Do you want a panic in 1904
far worse than that Of 1S93-96?
DO you want idleness and star
walton and millions subsisting on
charity just as they did in 1898?
If SO, vote for Bryan and you
will get it.

Year as in 1894.

Pig iron production is one Of the most
accurate induces of the general business
conditions of the country. When business
is good, when wage earners are EN-
ployed steadily, when farmers receive
ample remuneration for their crops, then
the production Of iron advances. 4. period
of depression is always accompanied by

Prosperity in the South.

On the whole, the South is rapidly de-
veloping into what God intended it to be,
the garden spot of North America.
With our diversified industries, ~increas-

ter States marketing pig iron and coal
in Europe and making steel rails for all
the world, our prospects are indeed
bright. and we are ready to crown cotton

Every farmer knows that when a
mild spell of weather occurs in winter
The hens begin to lay, and then cease
when the temperature is low. This
fact demonstrates that warmth has
much influence on laying, and that
warm quarters are essential to egg
production. When the hens can go
on the fields in the spring and forage
they secure a large amount of insect
food. During the winter substitute
for such foods may be allowed in the
form of cut bone, ground meat, fresh
meat and chan e of grains. Corn
and wheat make excellent foods
during the cold weather, but a va
riety of foods must be given in order
to have the hens produce eggs.

strokes minute less than when you
stand upright. This means 600 strokes

eight hours you usually spend in TAX
ing your nights rest your heart is
saved nearly 5000 strokes. AS it
pumps six ounces of blood with each
stroke, it lifts 10000 ounces less of
blood in the night than it would dur

OUR FARM Frs.
THE RAISING OF FULL BLOODS.

There seems to be a notion which is
| general among farmers that they can.
not afford to raise full blooded stock.
Their hogs and cattle are average
stock, perhaps, no particular breed,
are looked upon as good enough. Of
course the same number of thorough
breds would be worth much more. so
much more, in fac', that the average
farmer cannot afford to keep them;
or that is the way the farmer looks at
1t. Now let us see. There are two
men starring IN the stock business.
Neither is wealthy, and must begin on
a very limited scale and work into the
business. Mr.. A takes the amount he
has to invest and goes among the far
mers, and wherever he can buy an
animal at low figure does so. He
cannot afford the best, he tells himself.
but will commence with cheap stock
and when his farm is running on a
paying basis look to the question of
improving his stock. Mr. ponders
long time and then, with the un-
needed advice of his friends and the
dismal prophecies of the neighborhood
Solons, expands his little all in a few
of the best registered stock to be had.
He appreciates the amount Of money
they cost him and cares for them ac-
cordingly. He leaves not a thing
undone that will add to the comfort
or the health of the stock. He studies
them, works with them and devotes
himself to becoming familiar with
Breeding and caring for a greater
number when his business shall have
developed.
At the end of the first five years Mr..
A's profits will be ahead of Mr.. BIS.
But about that time B will begin to
have the finest stock in the country
on his farm. 1t does not take as
much corn to fatten his hogs and his
cattle are fatter and easier kept. His
chickens are known all over the coun-
try and he dispOses of them at the
best prices. AT the end of the first
decade the difference will be much in
BIS favor. 1t is a mistake that a man
cannot afford to keep good stock.
While the first cost is the greatest,
this is far more than made up by the
selling price of the blooded stock
above the scrub stock.-Erchdnge
The growing of corn and giving the
land thorough. and frequent culUiva-
ton is an excellent way of destroying
weeds, says an exchange. When
planted in hills or drills an opportunity
is afforded for shallow surface Guilt
walton and the destruction of all
weeds. Clean cultivation exterminates
weeds by encouraging the dormant
seeds to terminate and destroying
the young weeds before they produce
seed.
The weed problem has become a
serious one on many of our farms.
Some weeds are like contagious
diseases; the seeds lie dormant in the
soil, and when favorable opportu-
nifty offers they take possession of the
land. Weeds not only crowd out a
crop and cause poor yields of grain,
but they also rob the soil of large
amounts of fertility. Some of our
weeCs contain mere fertility than our
grain crops. When poor crop of
grain, infested with weeds. is har-
vested, the loss of fertility from the
soil is greater than if a heavy crop of
grain were harvested. Weeds are
strong feeding plants, and the delicate
feeding grain crops are unable to
compete with such sturdy rivals.
