THERE has been much shouting and
exultation among many journals and
people who Me imbued with what
they think is patriotism over the fact
that America seems TO be very rapidly
gaining in her prestige In the money
markets Of the world, and that instead
of borrowing without limit from Lon
don, London has been in common
with st. Petersburg and other Europ-
pean capitals, borrowing from New
York. This mounting up Of New
York and leading in so many great
commercial transactions is hailed as q
most remarkable accomplishment and
an approaching Of the me plus ultra"
which Is to be the contamination of all
national ambitions. This Is particu-
larly the greeting Of partisan republl-
cans and is given as triumph Of gold
standard. 1t is perhaps illogical to
treat the triumph of one gold standard
nation over others as the result of q
system that is common to all, but that
makes no differance to them. The
commercial Importance which this
country has assumed among the pow
ers Of the earth is perhaps remarkable
and yet is not. 1t is but the reason
able and expected thing that country
so vast, 80 rich and resourceful, and
so peopled with a population so enter
prislng and industrious, should lead
the world and make her the CONNER
cal center, the one around which Anap-
cial transactions Of the world osci-
late and revolve. Our commercial i'm
portance Is bound to grow, London's
power and rank aud lead in such mat
ters will in the not very distant future
be transferred to this side of the
water, But this Is not the me plus
ultra" of national endeavor. And

IL might last for some time, possibly
several years, But we are of the opin
ion that the time has already arrived
for great business conservatism. The
old machine seems TO have reached
the point where II Is running away
with itself, II may keep on going for
q long time before 1t strikes q bump
and goes to pieces but II will not be
surprising II crash comes almost any
time. Then woe to the man who has
been doing business on debt, Wall
Street always leads In all business
transactions, 1t iS the barometer that
chronicles the commercial weather,
When speculation is heavy on advanc-
Ing prices on Wall Street the business
Of the country follows the pace II sets,
When Wall Street has o panic II soon
spreads TO all parts of the country.
The country never had q panic that
did not commence with the dealers IN
New York, This perhaps the strong
est evidence that the inherent difficulty
and danger Is 10 our financial system.

WHITE OFF HIS RANGE.

ary men that Kansas has produced, Is

lie has been mentioned for Congress,
but the honor Of sitting where the laws
are made for the people to help the
corporations Is not for him. He Is too
independent, He is not enough of a
sycophant and hatterer, While like
most men Of genius he says some things
that are insipid and perhaps foolish,
he says a great many that are worthy
any man whose greatness We extol.

can paper he emits q bad odor to those
republican politicians who know only
enough to shout "me too" His fall
from their little tin paradise was

Twenty men in Marion county can

of those people who now hold up to
the American people these ideals of

The speCulations among the brok-
ers on Wall Street during the past two
weeks have been q fruitful topic for
editorials In all sorts Of papers in all
parts of the United States. 1t seems
certain that stocks of almost all kinds
have never, or at least vely seldom,
made such leaps and bounds skyward,
and as is always the case in such times
the buying has been cOrresrondingly
heavy. 1t is but natural when any one
sees stocks on the rise who Is in the
business of dealing to want to buy.
The stocks most affected have been
railroad stocks, but the speculation
has been enormous along other lines
Even the more conservative men
among the Wall Street capitalists say it
can not last long, Russell Sage who
has always been on the safe side Of ev.
cry financial transaction, says Wall
Street has gone crazy. When the
panic Of '93 came and other dealers
were going to the wall and paying all
sorts of interest in order to obtain cash
Sage was lending to them and making
more money than ever. 1t is only a
question of time how long this era can
last. We have been disposed to think

organized. Including them there are
now 4O9S active banks In United

The question OF ways and means is
always serious In the minister's fam
lily. Since the average salary is $500,
It follows that life with the average
pastor is both frugal and strenuous.
Most Of us live from hand to mouth,
and are denied not only comforts. but
the equipment which is necessary for
intelligent work. The minister's tools
are not simply pen and ink bottle, but
library and current literature. Our
children are educated with great diff
ficulty. and for the rainy day we
must depend upon charitably disposed
neighbors OF the fund for disabled
ministers. The average lawyer has
not only a more generous income and
less demand for gratuitous service.

HoW Successful Farmers Operate This
Department. Of the Farm A Few
Hints as 60 ths care Of Live Stock
and Poultry.


CONDENSED from Farmers Review
stenographic Report OF the Illinois
State Dairymen's eonvention.)
+. N. Munger spoke on Poultry on
the Dairy Farm. In part he said:
Just why dairymen do not make poul-
try raising pay is not a problem hard
to solve. The reason Is lack Of knowl-
edge relating 70 poultry raising. Would
any eOmmon-sense dairyman start
dairying with a 75-pound butter COW
and permit her to rustic for her living
around the hay stack.
The twentieth century hen is to be
the z00-egg hen. AS to breeds. most
people have their fancy; but all breeds
are not equally prolific. We have a
great many inquiries from men that
want to know II It will pay to raise
the standardized hen on the farm.
There is no place where it will pay
better, OF all the breeds / prefer the
White WyandOttes. They will produce
as many eggs as any other breed and
more flesh than most Of them. The
Barred Plymouth Rock is good for
both Of these objects, but I think that
the Wyandotte is still better.
How can we make fowls hustle and
exercise? First, we must not feed too
heavily or make it too easy for birds
10 get their food We must get them
out Of their houses in winter as much
as possible. The profit in winter de-
pends on having the hens well-housed
and given special care. This viii give
good supply Of eggs. which always
bring good price in winter and insure
profit. The simplest poultry house is
often the best. A house l2 by 20 feet
Is large enough for so fowls. Do not
permit any Of the floor space to be oc-
cupied with nests, roosts or other fix
lures. All Of the floor space should
be reserved for the hens, and a part Of
II should be used for a scratching
hoor There was a time when II was
thought best to have all the glass pos
sible in the south side OF the hen
house; but now we put In only enough
for lighting purposes. and that Is
thought to be the best plan.
One reason why some people do not
succeed with poultry is that they do
not know how to feed poultry to the
best advantage. Large fowls require
a different system of feeding than
small ones, and unless the feeding is
such that the birds are kept active
they will not remain in good laying
condition. Leghorns are not likely to
get oyer-fat. They will leave corn
On the ground and run after insects;
while the larger breeds viii eat the

around waiting for more. Chopped
clover is good and should be fed each

Exhibit which the Hunalo Exposition I.
to Nave


Aside and distinct from the cattle
exhibit at the Pan-American Exposi-
ton. it has been decided to conduct a
model dairy throughout the entire six
months Of the exposition. The dairy is
TO be comprised Of four OF fYe repre-
sentatiyes Of each OF the breeds Of
milk cows laying any claim to merit
along dairy lines. Plans are being
made 70 have eight or nine breeds
represented in this model dairy. Near
" all Of the live stock associations
have given assurance of their fullest
cooperation in this matter. and have
generously offered to place at the dis
posal Of the exposition the animals
which shall form this dairy. The sta
bic in which the cattle viii be kept
will be one that is equipped with the
up-to-date appliances. particularly
with regard to hygienic and sanitary
conditions. 1t is not the plan to force
these cows unduly to see how much
can be produced during this time, but
TO see what they will do under abso-
lutely uniform conditions, as nearly
normal as It may be possible to make
them on the exposition grounds. The
work will be conducted by men OF
much experience in feeding and handl-
ing dairy animals. under rules which
will be formulated for the govern
ment Of the dairy. Only such changes
shall be made during the six months
as shall be especially calculated to
prove the superiority Of some particu-
lar breed. ard when these changes are
made With a view to establishing some
characteristic or some breed all other
animals in the dairy will be placed
under exactly the same conditions and
careful record kept as to their per-
formance under these conditions. Ac-
curate data will be kept as to the
amount of food consumed. its cost, its
nutritive value, and also the milk pro-
duct, as to the amount and quality.
Never in this country has such a long
test Of so many animals OF different
breeds been conducted, and it would
seem that much valuable data would
be gained from an experiment Of this
kind Details of the management OF
the dairy are in charge Of +. A. Con-
