McKinley's farm is a profitable one.
In any season when crops are good it
yields richly. This years potato crop
will probably aggregate 1000 bushels.
The corn fields have been known to pro-
duce as high as $500 bushels in a single
year Last year the meadows produced
100 tons Of hay. The oats crop this year
aggregates some 700 bushels.
This is apple butter making time in
this section of the country. Many of ne
apples on McKinley's farm, just at the
present time, are being made into apple
butter. The large orchard is an impor
tant part of McKinley's farm. One good
year LOO bushels of Baldwins were
gathered and as many more of other
kinds kinds, making a total yield of near
ly $500 bushels. Part of the produce of
the farm has been shipped to Canton
from time to time to the Mckinley home,
but none has ever been sent to Washing
ton. Canton is about twenty miles from
the farm.
Selling milk is one of the industries Of
the farm. There are twenty-five head of
cattle. There are nine mich cows. Some
of them are blooded stock. Raising

PROTECTION FOR
THE CATTLEMAN.
How II Helps til: Northwestern Stock.
Raiser 70 Compete with Canada.

Every one in Cass County, S. D., knows
James S. Landers of Argusville, and he
is pretty we'll known in the State. He
has lived here some twenty years, is a
most successful farmer, and attends
closely to his farm interests. Being of
English descent, however, it would be
natural that he might favor free trade
ideas, but he has evidently been studying
the effect of protection and free trade on
the farmer, and he sends in the following
letter for publication, which is worthy
of close perusal by all.
Argusville, Oct. 5.
came down to Fargo to hear the Hon.
]. D. Seaman, and his speech was the
best argument | ever heard on political
topic; there was no gas and no wind
just solid facts.
1 can give you a good illustration of his
arguments, which l picked up on the
train going to Fargo; it was a freight,
and on the train was cattle man from
Manitoba, and he was along with 102
head of 2-year-old steers. He had ship
ped these from his home, eighty miles
west of Winnipeg, to find market in
this country. 1t had cost him 5000 for
duty to enter this stock; his freight was
231h cents per hundred from Neche to
st. Paul, and then he had to reship to
Chicago. He had been FIVE days on the
way when he reached Fargo.
Now here is the point for my brother
farmers to study a little: This Manitoba
farmer ships his cattle from the other
side Of the line to Chicago. pays heavy
duty, pays the freight. feed three times
on the way, suffers heavy shrinkage, and
then sees better profit at the end than
he can get at homeland after paying all
these expenses.
Here is where we free trade farmers
are blind to our own interests, when we
want these cattle to come In free, and IL
this was allowed what would we get for
our stockf They would not be worth the
raising and we would return to beggary,
where thousands were before, under free
trade.
Now, I am interested In cattle. and I
have been considering starting In stock
raising In the Canadian Northwest, where
you can raise q steer until he Is three
years old for about $40. but what can
You get for him then1 He Is worth about

The residence is two-story structure,
built sixty years ago. 1t is now getting
quite old in appearance. 1t shelters eleven
rooms. The porch is about the size Of
McKinley's famous front porch at Can
ton, and then ON to the upright part there
is wing which is a story and a half in
height. The lawn is well kept, and
morning glories grow upon the fences at
one side.
Besides the house, there are six build
ings on the farm. There is the main
barn. the sheep barn, the two large wag-
on sheds, the scale house and the pig pen.
The accompanying picture shows the
main barn to the right and the main
wagon shed to the left.
The Mckinley farm is visited each
year by people who, on passing through
that section, hear Of the Presidents farm
and are curious to see what kind of
farmer he is. One visitor once asked for
n fence rail for souvenir Of his visit.
The Adams family has become used to
kodak fiends and fully realize that to re-
side on the Presidents farm is to be- in
a sense, in the public eye.-W. Frank

PROSPERITY CERTAIN
And LIBERTY ASSURED.
Views OF a Noted Jewish Publisher on
the Country's Future.

AS far as human judgment can fore
see-at least so it seems to the writer
the next four years should be more pros
porous than anything this country has
ever before seen. There will be an enor-
mously increased demand for our natural
products, such as iron, and just now coal;
and our manufactured products are also
rapidly making their way. In certain
lines, such as agricultural implements,
tools and light vehicles, in fact whatever
it is necessary to combine lightness with
strength, we are away ahead of the rest
Of the world, and it is only because we
have not cultivated the foreign markets
with sufficient assiduity that we have
given our competitors a ghost of a show.
In other lines than those mentioned
above, such as ladies' fine shoes and
others that the writer could mention, we
also form class by ourselves superior to
the rest of the world. These conclusions
are drawn from personal observations in
many countries.
A second point which ought to be
well presented is that of expansion. You
no doubt are aware of the greater or less
persecution which the Jews have under
gone in all the countries of the world, and
are still undergoing to-day. Therefore
one of the things that we desire to see
established above all others is the univer-
sal principle of the right of any decent
man to go anywhere where he thinks he
can improve his condition and enjoy all
the rights and immunities of native,
without being put to any disadvantage
because of his religion. There are really
only two countries that give this privi-
lege; these are the United States and
Great Britain.
We know that freedom for all, equality
for all, and safety and protection for all.
are guaranteed wherever the Stars and
Stripes float; hence we were expansion
lists from the start and will be until the
end. Wherever a country is practically
under American jurisdiction, it is a good
thing for that country; it is a good thing
for humanity. and a thing that is so good
fail to be a good thing for the
country itself in the end. though it may
be costly in the beginning.
These are the points which we think ;
ought TO be emphasized. The questions
ought to be treated in the very broadcast |
way; details do not count.

The final and controlling word upon this

could, destroy the gold standard and 9TH

FOR AMERICAN FARMERS.
Crop and Live Stock Gains of Over Billion
Dollars in Value.

Marvellous Statement by the Department of Agriculture,
Which Shows Why Farmers Are with the
Administration.

They received nearly $164 100000 more
money for their cotton than they did in
1896. This year the mills were open and
there was demand for cotton.
American farmers received nearly $42,-
100000 more money for their crop of
oats this year than they did in 1896.
They received nearly 500 100000 more
money for their potatoes this year than
they did in 1896. People could afford to
buy potatoes this year, as the mills were
open and good wages were being earned.
They received over S14,000,O00 more
money for their barley this year, and
barley is one Of the smallest Of the sta
pie crops.
They received almost 100000 more
money for their rye crop, which is an
other Of the small staples.
American farmers have also gained
over $500,000000 this year in the value
of their live stock as compared with
1896, according to the Department of
Agriculture's figures. Thus we have:

President Mckinley owns farm. A
great deal has been written about MI
Bryan's farm, but heretofore no descrlp-
ton of Mr.. McKinley's broad eXpanse
of corn fields, meadows, COW pastures
and orchards, which comprise 1874 acres.
His wcll-kept barns, corn cribs and wag-
on sheds show care and thrift. The wool
on the backs of 200 sheep shines with
cleanliness, for McKinley's farm is
model one and modern one. Unlike the
famous Nebraska farm of the Democratic
candidate for President, the public
knows little about it. Two miles from
Minerva, one mile from Bayard, Ohio,
it stands on a sloping parcel of ground
surmounted by the orchards of Baldwin
apples. The Cleveland and Pittsburg
Railroad crosses Il corner Of the farm and
the Big Sandy canal courses through the
field at one side of the main road
