science applied to agriculture has en-
abled many farms to pay a dividend
that under the old system would have
been shut down. The owner Of a fine
200-acre farm in New York state said
to the writer last August that for sew
eral years after he bought the farm
he could not pay interest on the mort
gage. He was a man Of resources,
however. He purchased a herd Of pure
bred dairy cattle, and that herd IN a
few years lifted the mortgage for him,
and the mortgage was a heavy one.
Then his son went into the poultry
business. and that is now paying div-
idend Of several thousand dollars a
year, and he is now driving horses and
carriages that would attract attention
in Central park. Another farmerSw hom
I met recognized the fact that cOndi-
tons have changed in farming, and
was putting a little science into dairy
practice. From his herd Of Jerseys he
sold last year over $50 worth of produce
per head. BY making a better article
Of butter than his neighbors he was
able to get 4 and cents a pound more
for his butter than they got. His
neighbOTs said there was nothing in
farming now, and yet this man was
making better profits on his operations

Utah's Agricultural Development.

UTah' Agricultural development.
A question that interests the public
much is the future development of our
agriculture. Is there room for further
Development Have we reached a
stage where henceforth our agriculture
will not keep pace with the neCessi-
ties of our increasing population and
the demands of other industries? Can
we count upon the soil. upon the prod
ucts Of the farm, in the future as in
the past, to aid in the material de-
velOpment Of the state? VIII the
farms continue to do their part in aid
ing the further exploitation of the
mineral riches of the state by furnish
ing the miner his daily food supplies
at reasonable rates? If the mining
Industry is to go on increasing; if the
bills are to continue to give up their
treasures in greater abundance, the
valleys must give up the riches Of the
soil with greater prOdigality; for il
must be conceded that, though the
mines furnish a good market for much
CT the products of the farms. the de-
veloRment of the mineral resources of
the state and the paying of mining
dividends are more or less dependent
upOn the bounty of the farms. With
Klondike or Thunder Mountain prices
for food supplies, it is not Unreason-
able to suppose that many of our
mines would pass their dividends &C
casiOnally and aid the bears Of brok-
C4E TOW very materially ia their work

believe that there is nothing in Utah
but gold and silver mines and monthly

IS room for great development. First
by making tho farms more productive
second. by retaining the alkali lands;

UTAH SILK INDUSTRY.
Output For the Year in the State
Is Valued at 81, 604-Were
UnfaVorabIe Conditions.

The fostering care of the state has
been thrown around the infant silk in
dustry and every effort has been made
to build il up. 1t has long been known
that the climate Of Utah is very favor
able for the production of the finest
quality of silk. The mulberry tree at
tains great perfection in the sheltered
valleys of the state and everything
naturally points to a great future IN
the silk industry when once 1t is es-
tablished,
The object Of the legislature in ere
ating the Utah silk commission was
to teach the farmers families of the
state the proper care of the silk worm
for the production Of the finest grade
of cocoons, and the proper Keeling OF
the silk in order to get it in the best
condition for the market. This work
has been prosecuted with great intelli-
gence and vigOT, and its success has
been all that could be desired.
The japanese method Of Keeling has
been introduced an6 classes of instruc-
ton held in all parts of the state where
a desire for them is expressed. The
result is that a quality of reeled silk
is produced which is of the very high
est possible grade.
The year just past has not been Z
favorable one for the production OF
silk. owing to the drouth and the ex-
IRENE heat of the summer having its
effect upOn the mulberry trees. Mos
of the crop has been reported TO the
secretary of state. upon which the state
has paid a bounty of Is cents pei
pound, amounting to S4521S or
/ 2. 604al pounds of cocoons.

1t is the wish of the State Teac-

the one IN your county TO be known
as the Hem pstead County Bran h
of the Arkansas State Teachers
ASSOCIATION. The plan Is for tho
| president of the State Teachers
Association. to appoint a manager
tor ThIt branch association.
This manager is urged. That he
al once take the matter up and
press it upon the teachers Of his
county. That he take advantage
IF the kindness OF the local papers
ro bring the matter before every
teacher in his county; That he
call ameetlng at some eonveulen t

might be held at the time of

1t is believed that bet ter attend
ance could be secured at that time

is affected, steps should at once be
taken to have 1t reprented In the

will attend should be appointed
and instructed as to any measures
the County ASSOCIATION wishes
brought before the State Aasoiat-
ion. One delegate at least sheuld
de sent, even If his expenses are
borne by the County Assoclauon,
This could be done with very lit
tie cost TO each member. You owe
this much to your county and 10

you represent.
Mr.. W. T. Lee, who has
been asked to act as manager OF

capable, and to have such lnteres'

Let every teacher IN tie county

We hope tho delegation from

Though Governor Dockery has not made

Il is understood that the following will soon
receive appointments: Judge II. G. McDou-
gal Of Kansas City. DIR. john X Hall Of Mar.
shall Chas. NJ. Buckner Of Marshall, Mrs.
Dora Hall Of st. Joseph aud Miss Pearl Nit.
cheil Of Rocheport.
The law under which the institution was es.
tablished requires the appointment Of two lady
members and Mrs Hall and Miss Mitchell will
probably continue to constitute the femsle rep.
resentation upoa the board. A third selection
Of the former governor in Mr. Charles NJ.
Buckner will probably be allowed to stand.
The two new members are Judge McDrugal
Of Kansas City who supersedes John ODay
Of Springfield and DIR. John K Hall who takes
the place Of Mr. p. II. Rea.

Judge Sani'i Davis. 7. II, Harvey, &. NJ,

nor the fits, part Of the week and the board II
constituted rs above indicated. will be n com.
promise between The friends Of the ex.gover-
nor aud the an,i.S,ephens people as result Of
their solicitations.
The trouble dates back to the primaries Of
las, Spring, when the fight between +. ID.
Martin aud Doctor Wheeler aroused rather
bitter fac,ional feeling between the supporters
Of each. The former won aud he is not for.
getting old scores. He holds vengeance dear
aud now that he is in a position to punish
those who opposed him then, he is keen for
retaliation.
With Martin elected for four years, thus
ing him member Of the Legislature which
is To choose q success or to Vest IN the Senate,
he holds the whip hand over Dockery, who
wishes TO don the toga Of Gorge c. at the ex
pira,ion OF his present term. The officers Of
the i. NJ. |, as appointed by the Stephens
hoard are not friendly to the political aspira.

every turn in the road and il is said that he
swears 10 have their scalps dangling at his
belt.
