Eighty Acres Make $500.

The average gross return from an
eighty acre farm in the central west
Will not vary very far from $40 per
acre, take one year with another, out
side OF what may be consumed in the
living of the family of the farm pro

much greater return than this; but.
rs a matter of fact, there is not, Now it
is entirely possible to make this $500
off forty acres instead of eighty, and
as farm land creeps up toward value
Of 500 per acre, the how to do this
becomes a subject of prime importance.
In a general way we may say that a
radical change in existing methods will
be involved-betterc cultivation of crops.
better seed. better grades of all farm
stock. intelligent rotation of crops, more
clover. more poultry and better care for

and fertilizers will be used instead of
being wasted, as is now so often done.
The bane of agriculture all through the
west is that man rates his success as
farmer more by the number of acres
which he can skin over rather than by
the quality of crops which he can pro-
duce from an acre OF land.

What Two Plug Hired Men Did.

Here is the record made by two
brothers-hired men and foreigners
during the past six years They drop
ped down in America ignorant of the
English language and without money.
They Were healthy. husky and industri-
Gus and at once found places as hired
men on western farms. They worked
three years and saved every cent os
their wages possible. And at the end
of three years they had cash capital
between them of $1,000. They then
went up into central and western Min
nesota and bought 800 acres of land
on easy terms and at a low price COM
pared with its value today. They have
been favored with good health and good
crops and today are well fixed, discount
ing the failure payments due on their
land and with well improved farm
and q lot of valuable stock as visible
assets. These men were not highly ed
ucated-just common plug hands at
the start. This is not an exceptional
case at all Its counterpart may be
found in almost any western commun-
ity

found. One thing is certain the sys-
tenn so generally in vogue of making
sporadic raids on disorderly places
fails entirely of effectiveness. No per-
manent good was ever accomplished
by police raid on a disorderly resort.
The keepers pay their fines and resume
business They make good their losses
by perpetrating additional outrages ON
the public My father was at one time
the superintendent of police in Louis
Vile. Ky. The most difficult question
he had to deal with was the regulation
OF low saloons, dance halls and other
resorts. He found. after repeated eN-
pertinent, that the most effective meas
ure with places against which COM
plant was made was to station po-
liceman in uniform at the door. The
policeman was instructed To inquire the
name and address of every one who
went in and out OF course. in most In
stances the man declined to give either
but the presence of the policeman and
the query were sufficient to keep that
particular person away from there. and
the result WAS that the business OF the
place was ruined
Since the present administration has
come into power in Cleveland this
method has been tried with excellent
results We have driven six disorderlv
establishments out of business. ana
have closed up twelve dives that were
the resorts of notorious thieves, The
disordcrly and criminal element, having
lost it's choicest meeting places, has
found Cleveland very unattractive
Some of the resorts that we closed made
a considerable show of resistance. One
man who kept particularly vicious dive
withstood the presence OF policeman
at his door for six months. He brought
all sorts OF political and personal in
nuence To bear to secure the withdrawal
Of the policeman. and when he found
this unavailing he declared he would
nun anyhow At the end OF six months,
however he threw up the sponge.
Having large discretionary powers,
policemen should be exceptionally in
telligent and should be endowed with
more than the average amount OF COM
mon sense In their selection all uues-
tons of politics should be carefully
eliminated They should be appointed
under strict civil-service system. and
undergo careful mental as we'll as
