Never in the history of this country
was there q brighter outlook for
American farmers than at the present
time. We trust there is not reader
of the Epitomist who will fail to put
his shoulder 10 the wheel and take adj
vantage of what is in store for every
industrious farmer. The time of the
calamity bowler and for the cry of
hard times il thing Of the past. The
farmer to-day is the most useful and
prominent Industrial subject; the
products of his industry having the
greatest call and demand of the many
industries of our United States, near
ly all of which are most actively en-
gagged at this time. While it is true
he has encountered many difficulties
and depressions for several years
past, yet at the same time he has ex-
perienced less hardships and enjoyed
more privileges and freedom than
those of most any other calling, and
now that the brightest days of his
existence are in sight no one can
help but realize his greatness and in
dependence.
Farming pays handsomely if You
make it pay. Well directed effort, ju-
dicious rotation Of crops and proper
marketing of products are the points
to which attention must be paid. No
business win pay unless conducted
upon correct principles. But it de-
ponds largely upon the farmer. The
twentieth century farmer should be
unlike those who have pegged away
on the same plan since Columbus dis
covered America. He should be prop
erly balanced as to brain and muscle,
and should use the former fully a.
much as the latter. No farmer of
sound mind and unimpaired health
should fail at farming, for II, more
than any other occupation, is sug-

CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED.


Not very many years ago farmers
and cattle raisers throughout the
southwest, with hundreds of cattle,
rarely had milk for their families for
more than three months of the year.
With from ten to twenty cows in milk,
the farmer and his family used only
skim milk; whole milk was too ex-
travagant luxury, and where would
the butter come from If they ate the
milk, cream and all? Few, in fact,
used sweet milk at all. The milk pans
must be undisturbed until thickly
clabbered, then the thin film of
cream, with generous substratum
OF the clabbered milk was carefully
skinned on, for there must be plen-
ty of buttermilk, you know; and woe
would surely overtake the disobedi-
ent kid" who dared to steal taste
from the top of the pan, II detect
ed. For nine months there were
neither milk nor butter to be had.
We say this was the prevailing Gus
tom in the southwest, and we will add
that for every family who exceeded
these conditions, ten other families
seldom tasted milk except at q neigh
boris house. The soil and the climate
were as good, and the .,xass far bet
ter than now; also, the appetite for
butter and milk was as insistent as
it Is to-day. The cause of this con-
dition was twofold: Few of the cows

ut IL q booksellers MAXIM" said
one of the leading dealers in New
York the other day, shat there is
no book, however insignificant and
out of date, which he cannot sell soon

No book is ever really entirely dead.
I have had q book on my shelves time

having finally sold it, have had it called
for again within q week. There are
certain subjects that seem to be Pc
riodically revived and the revival
makes q call for works ON those sub
jects. Take the question, for in
stance, of the Lost Dauphin,' Louis
XVII. of France. There was book
about him, The Lost Prince by Han
son, published in 1884. ! never came

buying it, certain that sooner or later
it would be called for. Sometimes
have two or three copies on hand; at
other times have two or three or
ders for it not filed. Scarcely .

the subject may be made in q newspa-
per, and the result is demand for
the book-generally from out-of-the.

papers are read carefully.

during the past week recalls the fact
THAT reservation settlers are fast
approaching the seven year period
when they must make final proof
to hold their homestead entries.
The reservation WAS thrown open
for settlement November 10, 1895.
Final proof can be made after five
years aud must be made within
seven years from the date Of entry.
This week closes the end of the
sixth year and but comparatively
few Of the settlers have made final
proof though hundreds could have
done 80 in the pas; year Many
are holding out TO escape taxation
but Monay begins the last year Of
grace for them and the next twelve |
months will be busy times at the

made and the rush Of business has
now fairly set in.

EQUAL ADVANTAGES FOR WOMEN
The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York Makes no Dfscrimina.
tfon Between Them and Men.

New York, June 12.-For some time
past the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York has been making
no distinction between male and female
risks. 1t now insures women whose
applications show them to be desirable
risks on exactly the same terms as
men. More than that, hereafter the
sexes are to stand on an equality In
getting employment in all the offices
of the company. The Mutual Life has
returned more than five hundred and
forty millions (s54o, AIS. .s10.4D to policy
holders and carried the sunlight Of
comfort to hundreds OF thousands of
grief darkened homes. No other COM
pany has approached this sum. The
broad liberality or the management of
the mutual life is bringing a volume
of new business unequaled in its previ-
GUS history.

INSURANCE COMPANY RE ErrREs
On Account of Losses at Jacksonville.
Pacific Reinsures Its Risks

New York, June 12.-As a result Of
losses sustained in the Jacksonville
fire one New York fire insurance COM
pany, which has been operating since
1851, retired today from active busi-
ness. When the Florida loss was re-
ported it was said that the Pacific
Fire Insurance Company, of New York,
had been hit hard, although the exact
amount was not known. 1t developed
today, however. that the company s
claims, as a result of that one fire, ag-
gregated $50 900 and that late last night
the company's risks were reinsured
with the Westchester Fire Insurance
Company, of New York.
The contract of reinsurance went into
effect today. SO that the Pacific, which
ranked high among the smaller under
writing concerns, is no longer in busi-
ness.
The Jacksonville losses did not Grip
pie the Pacific, for it had a surplus be-
yond all claims, but it reduced its mar
gin above capital to such an extent
that the directors decided to withdraw
from the field. The Pacific had more
than $50, ,0O0, 900 Of insurance in force
which will be amply protected under
the reinsurance deal.

THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION
Meets and OrRanizes-The Members
Take no Oath of ONCE

Richmond. Va, June 12.-The Vir-
ginia constitutional convention met at
noon today. Hon. John Goode, of
Bedford. was elected president, and in
his speech of acceptance announced
the principal questions the body will be
called upon to consider, and took
strong ground in favor of restricting
negro suffrage.
The question of members taking the
Uth prescribed for state officers was
raised, and a long debate followed. L,
was decided finally that neither tina;
nor any other GA tn should be taken.
Senator Daniel was one of the leaders
of the opposition to swearing in the
members. The decision of the body
was Influenced by the fact that to take
the oath of office might trammed it in
dealing with the suffrage issue. Some
of the members declared that they
would suffer expulsion before they
would be sworn in,
After the oath question had been dis
posed of several committees were ap-
pointed and the convention adjourned
until tomorrow at noon.

Business Men Fear a Crisis.

Newport News, June 1.-THE strike
situation in Newport News has reached
critical stage. In addition to the
striking machinists, about 500 in num-
ber. 200 skilled men from the electri-
cal, plumbing and pipe-fitting depart
ments were laid off yesterday. Today
$50 more. chiefly laborers. were laid
off.
In each case, action was due to the
interference in the progress of the
work of the departments by the strike
1t is stated that other departments
will be laid off as rapidly as they finish
their work ahead of the machines and
can do no more without aid of the ma
chine shops.
AS the city is largely dependent upon
the 1000 men at the yard. the feeling in
business circles in uncomfortable in the
highest degree. At the present rate.
the yard will close down in a week or
