The somewhat startling fact is an
nounced by men who have made a
study of the question that the produc-
ton of corn has reached its limit in
this country, while the demand for 1t
is bound to constantly increase. 1t is
claimed that the days of cheap corn
corn at from 10 to - cents per bushel-
are over and that the greatly increased
domestic and foreign demand is likely
to force the average value CT this cereal
to about 40 cents as against an average
value Of about 30 cents for the past
decade-in other words, that the corn
crop is likely to he worth % per cent
more for the coming ten years than for
the past ten. This fact, If it prove tC
be well stated, will be GOOD news to the
residents of the corn belt, for coupled
with it will be the certain advance in
value of all meat commodities of which
corn Is the foundation.

We have an inquiry from a young /
N aged 90. He is a representative |
stern farm boy, has always lived |
ID worked on the farm and awaited |
himself of such educational advantages |
as the local country school afforded. |
He says he expects to stay with his !
father until be is Of age and then COM
mence life for himself. He owns q
team of horses and has saved up $3.50
in money. He wants US to tell him
how he can work 1t so that he may
best succeed as a farmer and says that
he would like to raise good stock, grow
big crops and farm in n little better
way than he has been brought up to.
This is another of those hard ques-
tons which folks seem to like to fire
at us. So much depends upon the
young man himself, the locality where
he may settle down for business and
the sort Of girl that he sits up with
Sunday evenings. If he locates where
land is worth from $50 to $50 per acre,
he will be compelled to put more brains
and science into his work than if he
takes a homestead on some frontier set
Element. If he is to work high priced
land and wants to farm better than his
father did, we would advise him to go
TO one of the many excellent agricul-
tural colleges and spend what money
he has got In acquiring a knowledge
of the technical and scientific agri-
ture. This would include farm me-
chanics, stock breeding, judging and
care, soil physics, fertilizers, animal
diseases, drainage, rotation Of crops
and a hundred and one practical and
valuable things which he can turn into
dollars later on in his farm work. Two
winters or so used would easily make
SO a month man of him If he wished
to work for some one else, or, should
ne go into business on his own hook
and rent n good farm, for instance, he
would be almost certain to make a
success of his work. 1t is not so much
the practical knowledge acquired as
| the result of such a course of study,
| though this is almost invaluable, as 1t
is that such an effort is an eye opener
| for the young man, disclosing to him
the possibilities of his profession and
awakening in him an ambition and de-
sire to know more and occupy higher
| place in his profession. He may not
| do this, but instead marry, rent n farm
and settle down to work In the old
fashioned way and perhaps succeed in
way, but he will be n broader, wiser
and more successful man to do as we
suggest,

BRYAN NOT THE ISSUE.
So Says Eminent Nebraskan In
Speaking of Ohio Convention.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLATFORM


Ohio Democrats Criticised for Failing
to Reatfirm Kansas City Plank.
Money Question Not Yet Dead.
Nominees of Convention Endorsed.
Lincoln, Neb., July 16.-In extended
comment on the platform adopted by
the Ohio Democratic convention, w.
]. Bryan criticises the convention for
its failure to reaffirm the Kansas City
platform and for what he regards as
the weakness of some Of the planks
1t did adopt Mr.. Bryan insists that
the convention made a mistake in max
ing himself an issue, and says:
Mr. Bryan is not candidate for
any Office, and a mention of him might
have been construed by some as an
endorsement of him for office. The
vote should have been upon the naked
proposition to endorse the platform of
last year, and then no one could have
excused his abandonment of Demo-
cratic principles by pleading his dis
like for Mr.. Bryan"
Referring to the platform he con-
tinues: THE convention not only fail
ed, but refused to endorse or reaflrm
the Kansas City platform, and, from
the manner in which the gold element
has rejoiced over this feature Of the
convention, one would suppose that
the main object of the convention was
not to write a new platform, but to re-
pudiate the one upon which the last
national campaign was fought. The
gold papers assume that the cOnven-
ton refused to adopt the Kansas City
platform because it contained a silver
plank. If so, 1t would have been more
courageous to have declared openly for
the gold standard. If the gold standard
is good. 1t ought to have been endorsed
If bad, it ought to have been de-
nounced. To ignore the subject en-
tirely was inexcusable.
''The money question Is not yet out

will have to deal with it, Republicans
declare that 1t Is dead, but they keel

state and municipal affairs. He en-
dOrses the nominees Of the convention
and urges their support.
Referring to the senatorial fight AM
the reported candidacy of John R. Nc
Lean he says: Did the leaders ignor,
the money question in order to pleas
those who bOlted? Or does Mr.. Nc
Lean want to be left free to afiliat,
with the Republican financial Ques
lions in case of his election?"
He concludes as follows: IF any o
the Ohio Democrats feel aggrieved be

party triumphed at the convention lie

upon the state ticket, but rather SO
to the nominations of senators an
representatives who will select trust

that the state platform is made at tn
primaries next time rather than at tn

was almost entirely in darkness last
night as a result of the visitation of
June bugs in countless numbers. Elec-
trio light globes are filled and the
lights were completely smOthered by
the ashes of the burned bugs. The
hotel Offices were infested with such
swarms that it was necessary to close
the doors notwithstanding the intense
heat. In several instances church serv-
ices were interfered with. The river
bridges were almost impossible to
pedestrians. The atmosphere about
the lights was filled with clouds Of live
insects and floors were covered to a
depth of several inches by dead ones.

Speaking of the recent killing and eat
ing of two missionaries by cannibals Of
Fly river, Guinea. the Portland Orego-
MAN says:
These savages do not cat missionaries
because they have any religious hostility
for them as preachers Of n new faith;
they only eat them because, as noncon-
sumers of rum and tobacco, their flesh il
far more palatable than that of any other
typo OF white man. In the Judgment Of
a cannibal the meat of a missionary is
better eating than anything else except
the flesh of young child. another non
consumer of tobacco and ardent spirits.
These cannibals often spare the lives of
American ard European sailors for the
simple reason that their flesh is so i'm
pregnated with the flavor of alcohol and
tobacco as to be as unpalatable as we
find that Of crows, gulls, buzzards and
other eaTEiOR consuming birds"

A western creamery has evolved a

washings for its patrons. \ laundry
outfit has been placed adjacent to the
creamery, and the steam, heat and wa
ter of the creamery plant are utilized
by the laundry under the care of a COM
petent washerman, with the result that
a great burden Of work has been re-
moved from the farmers wife and the
farm home to the cooperative cream
cry. We do not see any reason why
this scheme is not entirely practicable.

Twenty years ago a young farmer, a
thinker, found himself with a poor,
stony and sterile New Jersey farm up
on his hands, from which the united
labor of himself and father could ex-
tort hardly poor living. He was not
very far from New York city, where
there was an unlimited demand for
pure milk. He took up the cow and
evolved the plan Of selling to city GUS
toners a guaranteed pure milk. From
that small beginning his business has
grown until he now milks 500 cows and
receives for their product over 100000
per year.

tian E. Soelky, SOelky was married
to Mrs. SOelky while she had another
husband living. Believing her to be
legally his wife, he transferred to her
a house which he owned. She then
left him and. as a married woman,
filed a petition in court asking the ap.
pOintment of a trustee for this prop,
erty. SOelky afterwards asked for the
annulment of his marriage and that
the property be declared his own, on
the ground of fraud and bigamy. Judge
peRnia granted his prayer of relief.
and in the course of his opinion scath.

A very pretty illustration Of connu-
bal felicity we have been watching
lately connected with the nesting OF 4
pair of grosbeaks near a window of
our home where they may be watched.
Both birds helped build the nest, and
during the incubating period the male
bird put in most of his time on a par
ticular limb Of tree near by singing
his best. When the young birds opened
their hungry mouths, he was on decl
with plenty Of fat grubs. This hus-
band and father was true to his wife,
his home and his family, in which re-
spect he set good example to men in
general
