The states that are thickly settle,

The states that are thickly settled
with farmers raise more cattle and
sheep by large odds than the grazing
states and they are better for beef
and mutton, are harder, and are
raised with fewer losses.
An effort was made at the last
session of congress but defeated and
will probably be renewed at the next
session to have a law passed which
would permit the leasing of large
tracts of the public domain for graz
ing purposes. And ths argument
will be made as before, that these
lands are of no value except for
running stock upon.
This argument is absolutely false.
The lands sought by these grazing
people are just as fertile as the lands
of any Of the corn states where they
ship their cattle to feed them corn,
and can be made just as productive
by a little labor. All the lands need
to make them blossom and bear in
abundance il the Industrious hand
of the farmer.
The lazy stockman, who likes not
to till or SOW, but only toreap, would
like to keep the great productiveness
of theses lands a secret in order that
he can gather that which itself raises
without any effort.
The government should not and,
we believe, will not. aid the stock
man with leases on large tracts of
government lands for a long term OF
years. There viii be more stock on
the lands that are now used for
ranges when the stockmcn are sue
ceeded 10y farmers than there are at
present Or would be under the leas-
ing SYSTEM
The stockmen are so lazy that
they + not content with getting
the feed for nothing and with nc
work, bat have given up the hand,
ling Of she" stuff and the raising oil
their own calves because of the labor
connected, and even now the bulk
of the cattle owned End run upon
the grazing lands are bred and raised
by the thrifty farmers, the backbone
OF every country, on lands that only
a few years ago we're also advertised
as mo good but for pasture"
The country will be better, the
states will he better, the people will
be better, the beef will be better, The
mutton viii be better when the
exclusive stockman, who raises moth
ing else, has been compelled to quit

The density of population of the
United States, exclusive of Alaska
and Hawaii, according to the census
of 1900, is 25.G, that is, there are IN
the United States in 1900, on the
average, 25.6 inhabitants to the
square mile, using land surface only.
At the census of 1880 there were
less than 5 inhabitants to the square
mile, SO that the density of the pop
ulation of the country has increased
in 40 years more than tive-fold
although the land area of the coun
try in 1900, exclusive of Alaska and
Hawaii, is more than three and one
half times what it was in 1870.
The most densely populated state
is Rhode Island with 4O7 inhabitants
to the square mile.
Alaska has the smallest number OF

mentioning President Mckinley for
a third term. Two terms was the
sensible limit fixed by an unwritten

it has remained down to the present

Mckinley has made a great and

There are a great many complaints
from foreign countries over the fact
that the majority of Americans do
not put postage on their letters sufii-
cient to carry them to their destina-
ton abroad. Of course TT majority
of people put on a five cent stamp,
but they do not remember, or do not
know, that the stamp pays for but
one-half an ounce, or about one
sheet Of letter paper and the envel-
ope containing the same, and that
any overweight must be paid for by
the receiver at the other end. In
this country of hustle and big things
postmasters like everyone else, pay
little or no attention to over weights
of mail matter. But in the old
countries where all business is practi-
cally penny business" these cents
are counted, and Americans sending
letters across the water should be
more particular about the postage.

Atchison, Kas., July 9.-The drouth is
becoming a very serious matter among
the farmers of this vicinity. o. NJ
Babcock. who was in NortonvilIe yes
terday, says twenty carloads of stock
cattle and stock hogs were shipped to
Kansas City from that immediate
vicinity while he was there. The cattle
and hogs are only half fat, and must
be disposed of at a sacrifice. Mr. Bah
cock says the grass is not only burned,
but the small creeks are dry and the
wells are low, and the situation is very
discouraging. He says all stock that
IS not sold must be put on regular feed,
whereas cattle and hogs ought to find
plenty of feed in the pastures at this
time.
The farmers loaded the cattle and
hogs on the cars on Sunday, not want
ing to delay a day in getting them OF
their hands Before the drouth cows
were selling at s45 a head. and they
were very scarce. A milk man says
farmers are now offering to sell him
mich cows for $50 a head, giving him
all the time he wants in which to pay
for them
The Heinz pickle factory opened for
business at Rushville few days ago,
but there were no cucumbers. and no
