Land Hunger.


The American people are always
hungry for gold and any reported
new discovery of the precious metal
vii start a stampede for the place
inside of forty-eight hours; then
sometimes they become land hun
CRY, and the eagerness to secure
farms and homes is almost equal to
that displayed by the gold seekers.
The present is one of the times when
the people are land hungry, evidenced
by the scramble to secure homes in
the lately opened Indian reservations
and the tremendous rush to the
northwest country where cheap farms
are still to be had. There are sew
eral reasons for this epidemic of
land hunger; one, the plentifulness
of money and the low rate of inter
est; another, the constantly improv-
ing and cheapened methods of trans
portation, which annihilates distance
and give great value to farm lands il
hitherto remote and inaccessible To-
cations; another is the depleted fer
tility of much of the agricultural
lands of the eastern states, and still
another reason may be found in the
constantly growing scarcity of de.
sirable farm lands in any section OF
the country, coupled with steady
increase of population which seeks
place to live and make a home.

Saving $500 Before Marrying.

A lady friend in Nebraska takes ex-
ception to statement made in these
notes some time ago to the effect that
a young man should not marry until
he had earned and saved up the sum
OF $500, she claiming that many young
people get married on much less
money and do well. This may be
true, but it in no way affects the
general truth of the statement made.
1t Is like this--if young man, aged,
say "a, with good health and aver
age intelligence, has not developed
such habits of industry and thrift as
to enable him to save up $500 or
its equivalent in property, he has no.,
taken hold of life IN a sufficiently
serious and practical manner SO thar
he is justified in asking any girl to
marry him. 1t is not so much tbs
money itself, as it is the formation
of Industrious, economical and thrifty
habits which are so necessary to hi
future success. If young man. vi
to "a has spent upon himself every
dollar he has earned, he will not take
kindly to the rigid self-denial impose,
on him in the care of a wife and fam
lily. Poverty may have its compen,

The WAY Of the Politician.

Here's a case which is all too COM
mon: A man comfortably situated on
fine 100 acre farm got notion in
his head that he wanted an Office. He
flied around for two or three years,
working his town caucus and serving
as delegate, until he was elected
to the position of county supervisor.
This was we'll enough, provided he
had been content to serve the public a
term or two and then quit. He no
sooner got this office than he com.
menced to work for something higher
up. He ceased to care for his farm
He got the higher Office for two terms
county treasurer, he was, if we rec
ollect aright-and then was turned
out of office. He did not then realize
that the best thing he could do was
to go back to his farm, or if he did
he had no tastes in that direction
SO he loafed around town, did little
insurance business, played good
deal of billiards and drank good
deal of beer. He developed into a
little worthless 4x9 ward politician
always a candidate for some office
and always getting left. He mort
gagged his farm to pay his political
expenses and of course lost it, as,
when he was in receipt of fat salary
he lived it all up and was always
harder up than when he lived on his
farm. He is an old man now and
has not dollar in the world and the
last that we heard of him he was
bucking wood to get bread to eat.
There is lesson here for some who
will read this.

Do This for the Row.

If your son would like to go, there
is probably no better thing you could
do for him the coming winter than
to give him layoff from farm work
and send him to one of the many
excellent agricultural schools of the
country. Never mind, if he is bit
raw and green and backward with
his studies, course or two at such
school will open the boys eyes,
create new ambitions for him and
make him worth twice as much to
you next summer on the farm. As
an investment for yourself, let alone
being one for the boy, it will pay
big interest. While the farm is the
best place on earth to raise a strong,
healthy honest boy up to fourteen
years of age, he then should have a
chance to see something of the old
world and get his own measure.

Two Wavs 10 Plow.

We saw two men blowing the past
week and they did their work in two
entirely different ways. Both had
good fields to pillow. One had his fur
rows as straight as surveyor could
run a line across the field; he had a
chain attached to his plow to that
every particle of trash and stubble
was covered up by the furrow as it
was turned; he took solid comfort
and pleasure as he did his work 80
nicely. The other had his work laid
out on unknown geometrie curves,
his team heading south, southeast
by east, and southwest by west as it
traversed the field; his pillow left
about half of the weeds and rubbish
on the field on top of the plowed land
to clog up his harrow next spring
He could not have taken any pleas
ure or pride in such slovenly work;
but he may live just as long as the
other fellow. Good blowing Is an
index of good farming.

Plants That Hate One Another.

Fancy two plants being so UNI
friendly that the mere neighborhood
of one is death to the other. Yet
that is the case with two well known
English plants. These are the thistle
and the rape. If field is infested
with thistles, which come up year
after year and ruin the crops, all
you have to do is to sow it with
rape. The thistle will be absolutely
annihilated.

Total Deprayitv.

A friend of ours had his melon
patch raided few nights ago, every
melon being taken or else destroyed
and the vines stacked up. The
phrase of moral depravity and un-
regenerateness which prompts and
executes such a thing seems proof
against the best efforts of all the
civilizing and reformatory means at
the command of this generation.
Boys will be party to such raid
on Saturday night and then go to
Sunday school the next day like little
saints and do it all as a matter of
course. We incline to the opinion
that there is lots of virtue yet left in
grandfather's hickory CAD for such
cases as this.
