many things even better than they do,
but when men like them make almost
life studies on particular lines of farming
they will certainly be able to give valu-
able information on these special lines.
We hope to see the farmers get to-
gether. AS we said in the beginning, no
class Of people get together less, and yet
what class of people need it more.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.


In the near future two farmers lnsti-
tutes are to be held in this county.
1t is one of the peculiarities and to a
certain extent disadvantages of the farm
er's life that his work is isolated. Al
most every other class of artisans are
more or less together in their labor, with
the result that when one man finds out
some better or shorter way to do GER
tain thing, the whole immediate body of
workmen know of it and get the benefit.
Now, while thousands of farmers at GER
tain seasons are performing identically
the same work, in the same way, and
perhaps as in this valley under almost
identical climatic and soil conditions, yet
each to very large extent has to learn
for himself, often by costly experience,
the best methods.
There are some progressive farmers
who study and experiment and who not
only benefit themselves but in a limited
way inform their neighbors of the results,
: by conversation, or very rarely in the
local press. But almost every country
editor knows how difficult it is to get any
farmer to put his experience in writing.
And yet, we firmly believe that If as
many as six ordinary farmers would get
together for an hour aud talk over any
one particular subject relating to Their
life work, be it plowing, sowing, reaping
or live stock, that at least four of them
would go home with new and valuable
ideas and quite possible that all of them
would.
The busy farmer has but little time
however for actual experimenting or as
7he might express it for ''book farming"
But there are men and places where the
, work of farming is not intended so much
to make money as to make a study Of
methods and results. The men are
students and specialists. They try to
learn the why and wherefore of things.
Why won't wheat grow on sand? When
is the best time to kill certain weeds? Is
it best to plow in the spring or fall?
What nakessm in wheat and how best
to kill it? What insect enemies has
grain, potatoes and other crops7 And
thousand other such questions, which
take years Of study and experiment to
answer.
These are but hints as to the benefits Of
fl1e farn,erS' inSfitIItec C, <l,aro f,r,,,
er. It is quite possible you know some
on- thing better than your neighbors
from observation and experience OF your
own. Your neighbor ought to know it.
Perhaps your neighbor knows something
you ought to have, and certainly the pro-
sfessors oftiie Agricultural College will
lle ableto give you information Of value.
It is quite probablet lat you may know

duct! That is to say under present prac-
tice the product of the wheat farmer who
works six months of the year is not as
sessed or taxed, while the man who has
to work all the year round to raise stock
is compelled to pay heavy taxes on the
product of his farm.

Cardinal Vauehan's Pastoral.

Cardinal Vaughn, Roman Catholic
Archbishop of Westminster has issued
a pastoral, in which he says: What
ever doubt was entertained of the law
fulness of enforcing the British de-
mands by recourse to the sword, there
cannot be any doubt now that we have
been forced into the war, and that
justice is on our side. Is Is now a
question Of something more than what
is the lawful question. II is, snail the
British Empire be allowed to fall to
pieces by supineness, by want of de-
termination and self-denial? The
answer Is no. This empire has been
appraised by the same Providence that
called the Roman empire into existence
and as God used one toward the attain
ment Of divine purposes and mercy,
so does he seem to be using the other"

A RUSSIAN WILL.

One of the wealthiest land proprietors
near Smolensk, in Russia, died few
months ago, and after the funeral his
heirs and attorneys began to look for
his will. They fanced that this task
would De merely perfunctory and that
the document would be found among the
other family papers, but, much to their
surprise, they were unable to find the
slightest trace of it. Every room and
article of furniture in the house was
then carefully searched, but the result
was the same, and the only conclusion
at which the heirs could arrive was
either that no will had never been made
or that if one had been made it was
destroyed before their kinsmans death.
The missing document, however, was
found a few days ago in the strangest
place imaginable. A young man was
rambling through the house, and, hap
pening to see a graphophone on table
in the library, e examined it to see if it
was in working order. and finding that
it was, he put record in it, which sc
supposed was that of some popular
Russian song. What was his amaze
ment. however, when instead of a song
he heard the dead mans voice slowly
recite the words of the missing will.
The heirs We're promptly notified of
this discovery ard they lost no time in
carefully examining the record con-
tanning the will. 1t was found to be
hawless, and the question then arose
whether such a will would be deernea
valid by the courts or not. This ques-
tion is now being discussed in the SUI
preme court at ST. Petersburg, and the
case is interestin,, all lawyers who have
heard of it.. Many think that the will
viii be pronounced entirely valid, and
if so it may become a common practice
for persons to use graphophones for the
purpose of making their wills.

took from it a live chicken. Likewise

REPUTATIoNs IN CONGRESS.

The average length of career in con-
gress is four years. AT the beginning of
every congress about one-third of the
members of the house are new to the
business. 1t is rare thing for MEM
Der to make any sort of a mark in leSis-
lation before he has been in the house at
least two full .erms. and those who nave
forced themselves above the surface pe-
fore the close of single term can almost
be counted on the fingers or one hano'
The ordinary congressman comes ana
goes and leaves no trace behind him, eX-
cept on the salary vouchers. The man
who stays in the house for more thap
two terms has a fair chance or WleldlnS
a little influence. He gets his name into
the Congressional Record once in while;
he is recognized by the speaker OCCASION
ally: and if he is unusually lucky the
newspapers take him up and sometimes
give him headline all to himself. There
are one hundred and thirty-tour members
of the present house who are serving
their third term or better. Or these
twenty-five, at a generous estimate, are
so we'll known that their names might
carry some meaning outside their own
thankless enough. 1t brings nothing in
the way of money, little in the way on
reputa ton except in rare instances, and
a vast amount of druigery. "A man must
be in the harness for years generally be-
fore he amounts to an thing, ana by
the time he begins to count in legislation
he has lost his enthusiasm and spirit. and
becomes a packhorse. Once in While
at rare intervals, there is a flash across
the dull legislative sky like meteor
and sudden reputation is made for
new man. That was the way with Bryan
when he first came to the house in the
Fifty-third congress ana sprang into in
stant notorety with a speech on the tar
iff that dazzled everybody. Littlefie.d
of Maine made an even more effective
stroke last winter with his argument
against the unseating of the Mormon
Roberts These are the most striking eX-
amples in recent years of regulations
quickly made. Away back in the Fifty
third congress- Lafe Pence caught the
house in the first week after he took
his seat with a free silver speech. 1t is
significant that those who thus make a
dramatic entrance in the house rarely
count for much in legislation afterward.
Bryan never had any influence, and al
the While he stayed in congress he was
looked on as good talker and nothing
more. Towne frittered himself away
after his silver speech, and as for Lafe
Pence, who had black type in the news
papers for a few days after his maide1
effort, it is hard nowadays to find any

IN PRAISE OF MYSELF.

1 am sick of the lays Of love, of the
prating of beautiful eyes,
OF the ruby lips, of the golden hair, and
of cheeks like morning skies;
For day will dawn when the eyes grow
dim, and the ringlets of gold are
gray,
And love, like a traitor, when wrinkles
come, will silently sneak away.
1 praise myself for fights 1 have fought,
for the enemies underfoot hurled.
And I love myself and 1 hug myself as
I face a hostile world:
And I praise myself that I needed not
the Kisses and boots and jeers,
And with bulldog grip have clung to my
rights through all of the frendless
years.
Though 1 blundered oft and stumbled
oft While bleeding from thrust on
thrust,
blows, have risen when hurled to
dust.
Though many my faults and my pas
sions strong, and sins OF self We're
to down,
I have forged ahead and my brow de-
serves, though never it wear, a
crown.
So praise myself for the fights fought
against all the hosts of hell,
Though l knew at last was a greedy
grave and shroud and funeral
bell.
I have trod the path which, I know not
Why, leads on to the lonely tomb,
And never man or seraph OF saint
more boldly has marched to doom.
I care not what sage or sophist might
do what higher beings might say,
What counsel of man, what wisdom of
God, may have shown a better
way;
Had they fought like me. had they bled
like me, as they crept through
earth to die,
I would challenge them all to take up
my lot and bear it better than l.
So little care if they say my words are
vanity, pomp or conceit.
For I know that Self, and Self alone,
can bring me a mess of meat,
So the little tin gods of the old-time
bards / shove in dust on the shelf,
And, asking no leave of living soul,
take off my hat to myself
