Don't be chump and bite at every
fraud offered just because it is cheap.
This applies to baking powder, vine
gar. spices, coffee, periodicals and news
papers, and hundred other things.

what you pay for, no more. II you
want a good article, be willing and
expect to pay fair price for it.

But little is done by the average
farmer in the way Of feeding off any
crop where grown except grass. More
might be done to advantage in this line
1t saves the labor and expense Of har-
yesting such crop and 1t secures most
perfect fertilization of the field so
treated. Ina practical way this can be
adopted by sowing rape in the cornfield
and turning in a flock Of lambs and
wethers intended for early winter mar
keting; it can be done with advantage
on a field planted to sweet corn and
pumpkins for the hogs. Improved
types of portable fence have made this
method of feeding crop very easy
and satisfactory.

We notice one man Dragging through
growing finely and that some of them
weigh as much as three pounds each
already. He is OVERRIDING the business,
for the good sugar beet should not
weigh much over one pound. This
mans beets are too thinly planted or
his ground Is too heavily fertilized.
Three pound beets are not wanted by
the factories, being too low in sac
charine matter.

1t is not of much use to try the Gull
tpre Of the black walnut upon soils
which differ much from those in which
the walnut grows naturally. 1t will
always be found that this tree grows
on the richest. Of alluvial soils-river
bottoms and depressions which for
ages have been enriched by overfows
and washings. Planted on hard and
dry knobs or on thin soils it is always
a complete failure.

ment, If, in fact, 1t ever belonged there.
Centuries before America was discov-

Of Rome 1000 years ago possessed it's
splendid public baths, its superb
aqueducts and other utilities owned
and managed by the government.

A wise old agriculturist put on record
the truth that field is not sown to
advantage with the grain which itself
yielded. True as this is, but few men
heed 1t. A constant change Of seed
is always an advantage to the sower.
Nature is great mixer and diversitier.

We never follow a plow with as much
real satisfaction as when we can get it
into the ground in the month of July.
Flowing then just fixes the weeds, and
all matter turned under is decomposed
and made available as plant food for
the next crop. Flowing done in July
is easily worth dollar an acre more
for the next crop than when done in
October.

THE United States senate should
find a very simple and easy plan for
getting rid of the millionaire tramp
w. A. Clark. This man has brazenly
attempted to Doodle his way into the
United States senate having bought
the Montana legislature, the same as
he would a cargo of CATTLE Being re-
fused admission on the ground that he
was corruptionist, Clark conspired
with Others to lure the governor of
Montana out,of the state and in the
absence of that official was appointed
back to the senate by the Populist
lieutenant governor. The senate has
a. plain and simply duty before it which
it can discharge with much pleasure
and expedition. It should simply kick
Clark out of the way, the same as the
house kicked Roberts out and tell him
to ''step aside" for some honest man.
Gov. Smith has appointed Martin
McGinnis, an old Minnesota boy, to
the vacancy and he would be- as much
an honor. to the State as Clark has
been a disgrace to it. Tie senate
should promptly accept McGinnis and
fire Clark.

SOMETHING must have happened to
the Populist party when such men as
Bloody Brides Waite, Pennoyer,
Llewellyn, and the other prize calam-
ity howlers disappear from leadership
and membership in the party and are
replaced by Charles Towne and his
following OF silver Republicans. Time
was, and not very long ago either,
when a nomination for office at the
hands of the Populist party meant that
the nominee entertained an almost
sacred reverence for the initiative and
referendum, government ownership of
railroads, and all the fads and fancies
of the platforms of Ocala and Omaha.
Now all that is necessary for man to
be recognized as a Populist leader is
for him to get the backing of two or
three Populist United States senators
and he may entertain whatever views
he chooses whether they be Demo-
cratic, Republican or what not. !

IT is getting so that the better class
of men no longer desire the nominal
ton for vice president It is looked
upon as kind of stepping stone to the
political grave yard and very few men
care to take it. Those of the younger
class are particularly averse to becom-
ing candidates for the office, and the
proposition to name one of them Gre
ates stampede as readily as small
,pox scare. Theodore Roosevelt could
have the Republican nomination with
out asking but is waiting for the time
when he will be offered first place and
feels that to accept the second place
now would delay the day of his final
triumph. The proposition to nomi-
nate ex-senator Washburn is made in
good faith by the Republicans OF Min
nesota, and his election would round
out career that has been as useful as
it has been honorable. Ifsconditions
look favorable at the time of the ma

man is to be chosen he is likely to be
the man 1t has been argued that the
vice presidency should got to New York
or one Of the other Eastern states in
order to maintain the geographical
equilibrium of the ticket, but within
recent years and to a wide expanse of
country, Ohio is an EASTERN state,
and the great unrecognized West
would be grati6ed at the nomination
of man like Washburn whose public
service and known hostility to the
trusts constitute an unanswerable ar.
lgument in his favor. ~

it was construed as a Davis defeat.
