THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT.
With such n Leader as Bryan, Dem
Ocratic VictoryIs Almost
Assured.

Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance at
Indianapolis is without doubt the po-
htical event of paramount importance
in the present campaign. Mr.. Bryan
received at the hands of the democratic
party the nomination for the presi-
dency. A partisan utterance upon this
occasion would have been pardoned-
nay, more, was even expected by the
country at large. Tradition and prece-
dent exist to justify candidate in such
q course. He Of Canton-Mark Hanna's
man-who was recently notified of a
nomination, took occasion to plead for
the principles of party and In the
cause of an administration. In multi
farious terms he told what 1--WE" had
done, and fairly reveled in the deeds Of
"us." The republican party was de-
fended-even apologized for. And Will
liam Mckinley accepted at the hands
of those who bore the stamp of the re-
publican party the nomination for the
presidency of the United States. Mr..
McKinley's speech of acceptance will
go down in history as the statement of
a party chief to his party followers.
But how different is the tone and tenor
of Mr.. Bryan's Indianapolis address.
Mckinley spoke to party-Bryan to
a nation; Mckinley plead the cause of
an administration-Bryan the cause of
a people. Mckinley defended the prin-
ciples of party; Bryan spoke in de-
fense of the principles that are at the
foundation of free government; McKin.
ley spoke as candidate, but Mr.. Bryan
spoke as an American citizen.

NEED OF GOOD A

Improved Highways.

Good roads are a business necessity,
not only to the farmer. but to every mu-
nicipality, industry and enterprise, and
all would be equally benefited by i'm.
proved highways. This proposition is
not without supporting evidence. which
can be accumulated in abundance. The
farmer who must haul to a distant mar
ket the products of his acres finds that
such transportation is excessively ex-
pensive in time and labor involved and
in the maintenance of vehicles and
beasts of burden. All this increases the
selling cost of the product, without
comforting any compensating benefit
upon anybody. Consumers every
where are thus compelled to pay a
heavy fine for neglect of road improve
ment. On the contrary. if the public
roads should be made solid. smooth and
Of easy grade hauls from the farm to

gresisve Observation-Disclosures Record.

GOOD COUNTRY A
How They Increased h yalue of
Farm Lands In some Parts OF
WI WRSne CO.., Ohio.

A subject which is of great impor-
tance to farmers is that of good roads.
In several localities of this state the
ordinary dirt wagon roads are impas-
sable during some parts of the year.
In such localities, even where the soil
is very productive. land sells at a very
low price-about $50 an acre, which is
very low for good land in the vicinity
of a large city. Some of our farmers
wanted to build good roads. but we
found that the only way to accom-
plish this was to pike the roads with
stone and gravel, and in many locali-
ties taxes were levied to build pike
roads. The tax was on an average,
about five dollars to each acre of land.
This seemed like a high tax, but it did
not prove SO in the end. The building
of these roads was expensive. because
in those localities no stone is to be
found and in some parts not even
gravel. so that stone had to be shipped
in. But it was a paying investment,
for in less than ten years the land has
risen from $50 an acre to $3.50. and
farmers are not as anxious to sell at
this price as they were to sell at $50
before they had the pike roads. I
think it would be better II all locali-
ties We're compelled to build pike
roads,. Now a few words as to how to
build these roads: The roadbed should
be raised about two feet higher than
the land (some places it may be less
and other places more). Then there
should be a good ditch on each side
of the road. The earth taken from
the ditch can be used in elevating the
road. The width of the road should
be such that two loaded wagons may
pass. After the road has been stiff
GENTLY raised, top it with about 1s
inches of stone and gravel. Then you
have a good road and may do your
hauling at any time in the year. a
good road is one of the comforts and
Injuries of life.-J, c. E. Jacot, in
Prairie Farmer.

THE COW IN SUMMER.
Erect OF Grass on Butter and Mills
Is More Potent Than Most
Dairymen Admit.

Since the year one, luxuriant pas
ture has been the ideal cow food iol.
making fine milk and butter. Even
this, however, must be taken with a
qualification. The cow tells us that
to her taste the moderately short
grass of the pasture is better for ner
uses than the long, rank grass that
grows from her droppings, for moth
ing but semi-starvation will make her
eat that rank growth. This fact sug-
gests that the best milk cannot oe
made from grass grown on ground
that has been artifcially made too
rich. The critical dairyman quickly
detects the strong, pungent odor of
milk made from cows feeding on rank
growths of red clover and some other
grasses. | have had my own butter
spoiled in that way, while l have
opened tubs of butter in the store
that sent it's odor to the farthest end
of the The effect of fresh
grass on butter is always marked, and
sometimes radical. Under the new
dispensation Of no artificial color the
effect of grass is a factor to be count
ed with. Even under the old order of
things, when the cows fed on red
clover, the Jersey gave such a deep
color to the butter that every one
thought it artificially colored. How
are we to meet this difficulty? Per-
haps by heating up to 80 or 90 degrees
to kill the color, as is always the cf-
feet in cheese-making. Fresh grass
makes a quick flavor that favors the
poor buttermaker, but the man who
knows how can make just as finely
favored butter from good ensilage.--

street and Roadside Trees

The American elm is doubtless the
leading street tree in this country.
There are many fine examples of ave
nues of elms, particularly in the coun-
try villages of the older states. The
sugar maple is somewhat frequently
used, but is seldom SO fine as the elm.
In a few instances oaks have been used
with excellent effect. Linden. or bass
wood, makes a fairly good street tree.
but is inclined to become decrepit at
an early age. The Norway maple is a
fine tree for the eastern states; and
in the west the silver maple is not bad.
Occasionally one sees an avenue of
Lombardy poplars which are more
than worth the room they take. but all
the poplars are apt to be short-lived.-

divisions kept watchful eyes upon the
insurgent forces surrounding them.
Aguinaldo and his cabinet at Malolos
to the north had all but declared war
upon the obstinate possessors Of the
city and had utterly forbidden their
leaving the lines Of Manila and seeking
to penetrate those broader fields and
roads and villages without. Still hug
ging to It's brelst the delusion that a

by show Of philanthropy, the govern
ment at Washington decreed hat. de.
spite their throwing up earthworks
against and training guns on the
American positions, the enemy should
pc treated as though they never could
or would be hostile, and the privileges
Genied by them to American troons
were by the American troops accorded
TO them. Coming and going at will
through u lines, they studied our
force, our arms, equipment, numbers,
supplies, methods; and long before the
Chrlstmas bells had changed their
greeting to that universal feast day.
and the boom of cannon ushered in the
new year, all doubt of the hostile sen+i-
ments of the insurgent leaders had van
lshed. Already there had been ominous
clashes at the front; and with every day
the demeanor of the Philippine officers
and men became more and more in
solent and defiant. Ceaseless vigilance
n s~elf-control were enjoined upon the
soldiers Of the United States. nearly all
stalwart volunteers from the far west.
and while officers of the staff and of the
halt-dozen regiments quartered with
in the city were privileged each day to
stroll or drive upon the Luneta. there
were others that never knew an hour
away from the line of the outposts and
their supports. Such was the case with
Stewards regiment far out toward the
waterworks at the east. Such was the
case with the Primeval Dudes on the
other side of the Pasig, lining the banks
OF the crooked estuary that formed the
Rubicon we were forbidden to cross.
Such was the case with Canker and the
-teenth in the dense bamboo thicket to
the south, and SO it happened that at
first Armstrong and Billy Gray saw
nothing of each other, and but little
of the White Sisters, probably a for
tunate thing for all.
Ever since that memorable night on
the Queen of the Fleet, Gray had stu
diously avoided his whilom friend and
counselor, while the ~latter's equally
studious avoidance of Mrs. Garrison
had become observed throughout the
ship. The dominion and power of that

Horse Exports Increasing.

Official figures from Washington
show a marvellous growth in the ex-
ports of horses. The value of exports
of horses in January, 1899, was $780,
600, and in January, 1900, it reached
the enormous figures of S634,O0o. Ten
years ago, there was no export trade
worth mentioning. The export trade
in mules has also increased enormous
ly, 53s head, valued at $4a,3s9, having
been exported in January, 1900, val
ued at $537,034. Much of the mule
buying has been on English account
for the Transvaal war, and may never
again reach present proportions, yet
there is no predicting what may be
the effect on the foreign demand for
the good qualities of the American
mule. But the export of American
horses is sure to increase unless the
surplus becomes exhausted.

A correspondent of the Nebraska
Farmer says he asked a professor in a
school of agriculture if he knew a
young man competent to take charge
of a herd of pure-bred stock. 1t was
not a question of wages, but a question
of the right man. This professor had
under his eye in his classes probably
$50 young men. After considerable
hesitation he said: "Yes, I think l
could name one young man; but sever
al men are watching him, with a view
to offering him a higher position and
one of greater responsibility" And
yet there are plenty of young men,
graduates from schools of agriculture
and other schools, who complain that
they are not appreciated because they
are offered no more wages than COM
