A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

We know of a man who owns and
lives on a 100 acre farm In the west.

tent Of one-third of his farm, who has
made good living thereon for several
years, put himself out of debt. built .
nice farm home and barn, aud for
aught we can see has done just as well
have tried to work twice the area of
much better land. There is good
deal in the man. Our friend is OF
Scotch-Irish blood. not afraid Of hard
work, very particular as to the little
economies of the farm, keeps good
stock and cares for them in the best
possible manner, keeps posted on crop
products and raises the right sort OF
crops and sells them at the right time.
He has made study Of his business in
an intelligent and painstaking way and
his opinion upon farm stock and crops
and matters agricultural is worth as
much as that Of any man we know
With all his hard work he has ever
been a reader and thinker. and as he
plowed his fields. sowed his grain. cul-
tivated his corn, or drove his mower
or harvester. he was always thinking
and studying. and SO. while not an edu-
Gated man as the term Is used. came in
q very practical manner to know the
secrets of his business and apply his
labor intelligently. His name Is un-
known outside of the community In
which he lives; still none the less has
he made conspicuous success. He
is 10 ROW and gray. and the pity Of II
is that his most worthy example could
not induce hundreds Of other younger
men TO emulate II.

NATURE STUDIES.

II children were taught more from
nature and less from books II would
be far better for them. A bright, well
informed teacher by taking her school
abroad and afield at least one pleasant
half day in each school week during
the year could easily teach the children
more practical and valuable lessons
than they could bee taught In any other
manner. Say the first half day out Is
In April These are resurrection days.
Let the lesson be on the increasing
power OF the sun, the melting SHOWS,
the rushing rivers. the migratory wild
fowl-their kinds, where they winter
and where they nest in summer; the
south wind. the neecy cloud pictures
how they come and where they go; the
birds and their songs and nest build
ing; on a LATER day the plowed field,
the sowing Of the seed-how and what
kind; the budding trees; first flowers-

MARKET METHODS.

While there is at times good deal
Of unpleasant criticism by the farmers
and stock shippers Of some Of the
methods employed by the stockyard
men and packing house agents Of the
large cities. it is still fair question to
ask. What could the farmer and stock
man do without these great central
markets? Many of the pioneer settlers
will recall the time when there was no
buyer at any price for their products.
Today such a condition Of things is en-
tirely unknown. These great central
markets absorb all that is offered 10
them, and much of the so called
manipulation of the markets is really
nothing more than a legitimate effort
to regulate supply and demand so thst
both glut Of the market and a
scarcity may be avoided. In other
words. it may be said that existing
methods tend to equalize prices to the
general benefit of both the producer
aud the consumer.

THE BEST LAND YOU HAVE.

Don't worry because you have wet
piece of land on your farm. The
chances are that is is by all odds the
most valuable tract of land on the
farm. Study how 1t. may be most eco
nomically and advantageously drained.
and then tackle 1t. The richest lands
In Europe are the reclaimed farms
wrested from the bottom of the North
sea IN Holland. The redeemed peat
boys of Minnesota give fields OF mex
haustible fertility. The muskrat boys
of Iowa will grow so bushels of corn
to the acre when drained. The wet
lands of the northwest, upon which a
settler would have starved to death in
an early day, now ditched and reclaim
ed, are richer and more productive
than those Of the historic delta Of the
Nile. Give us bogs before gravel
knobs. wet flats before limestone
ridges. a black gumbO before a light
loan. Wet lands are invariably good
grass lands. Where grass will grow
stock will thrive, and stock means
money for the man who raises 1t.

THE CARE OF THE INSANE.

A modern civilization brings with it
many new responsibilities. In the old
Spartan days. and even today among
many uncivilized peoples. the care of
the insane gives no care or trouble. for
such unfortunates were in the days Of
Lycurgus and are today put out of the
way just as we, more civilized. would
kill q horse with broken leg, or a
mad dog. A Christian civilization not
only compels a kindly care for this
class of unfortunates, but also does
very much TO produce them, the stress
and competition of living. the curse OF
intemperance and the mad strife for
wealth and power leaving trail of in
sanity all over the fairest portions of
between the far past and the present
the time when the insane We're permitted
to live. but were In no humane sense
cared for-makes up one OF the darkest
pages of the history OF the race. To
day no class of deformed humanity
commands better scientific treatment.
more humane consideration. The ques-
tlOn OF Wnetner tue nopeleSSIy insane
shall be cared for by the several coun-
ties of the state or whether they
shall be cared for at the state institu-
tons is one which is inviting consid-
cradle discussion these days. While it
is true that the cost of caring for such
patients at county home is less than
at the state institutions, we still think
the best place for them is at the state
asylum. and the matter Of the few
dollars saved should not count against
the greater security. the better care
and treatment given by the state in
stitution. Recent reports made on the
condition Of insane at number of
county asylums strongly emphasize the
need OF state care of the insane.
