THE FARMERS ADVANTAGE.
sive Methods the Farmer IL "a
Snre Winner.

Some statstcian has observed that
% the farmer stands second on the list
of logevity, the minister averaging a
greater number of years. That he is
not first, is due doubtless to viola
tions of hygiene, for in his outdoor
life he certainly has an advantage.
With physiology and hygiene now n
part of our public school education,
it is safe to predict for the next gen
Grafton of farmers Il still longer term
of life. 'Hayseed" is no longer
term of reproach. In many sections
the farmer is the "nabob'' and GER
tainly in no other occupation is one
freer or more Independent. Universe
ty extension and the multiplication of
high schools have raised the educa-
tiona standard, and now the rural
mail delivery, rural telephones and
electric street car lines have opened
to the farmer other avenues of direct
communication with the outside
world. The agricultural press, a de-
velopment of the last quarter of a
century, has raised him out of the
rut in which Drawn ruled, and he finds
brain, and liberal amount of it, as
necessary for farming as for any
other occupation in life.
With the manifold advantages come
equally numerous necessities. Mod
ern implements can not be dispensed
with. The labor question on the
farm is destined to be largely solved
by invention. Machinery is taking
the place Of manual labor, and is in
many cases cheaper and more salts
factory Scrub stock can no longer
be tolerated. The best is uniformly
the most profitable. Say what they
will at the folly of blooded stock, it
has been repeatedly proved to be the
most economical in the end, even if
designed for the block. The higher
grades respond more promptly to lib
eral feeding, grow to much larger
size and are more satisfactory in ev-
cry respect.
The suburban home has long been
the ideal one for the city bred. OF
late farming has become a fad
among the wealthy, on which they ex-
ppend their spare time portion at
Hcast of their suplus wealth In il
Shey find recreation, pleasure, and
profit, through of the latter less than
shey could personally supervise. They
find on the farm the happiest life;
and right here is the main point. The
intelligent farmer never had q

HERE AND THERE.

Ignorance of bird and insect
life costs the farmers millions of dol
lars annually. Ignorance of the COM
monest plant and animal diseases
costs many millions more.
Dairy farming not only requires,
but insures, u fertile farm. A fertile
farm makes prosperous farmer; so,
that all things work together for
good to those who keep cows, and
keep them right.
The man with "a little money"
never had better chance for invest
ment than right now. In stocks and
bonds? No In partnership with some
elderly farmer who has a good farm
and wants partner to work it.
-"Book-farming" is a term in de-
served disrepute. 1t does not succeed,
and success is necessity. But the
trouble often is not with the book
but with the man who does the farm
ing. He is too purely theoiist.
Raising stock, like every other
business, requires systematic work to
bring success. Periodical changing
from one kind of stock, or one breed
to another, is like selling out and
moving to a new ocation-involves
beginning anew and giving to the wind
all previous work.
1t is estimated that from 600 to
800 persons have left east Tennessee
for Oklahoma in the last three or four
months, for the purpose of rushing
into the new territory to be opened
for settlers in August.
The only thing in the way of
profitably growing sunfowers on a
large scale is the lack of market for
the seed Cotton seed oil mills could
easily arrange to handle the crop, and
the oil is far more valuable than that
which they now produce.
"A farmer has discovered by acct
dent that "broom-sage" makes fine
HAY" for horses and cows. He had
cut it while green to be used as bed
ding for his stock. He found that
they would eat their beds in prefer
ence to their feed.

THE FARMERS PROSPERITY.
The Outlook Bright For the Former
Who Takes Advantage of Bis
Opportunities.

Never in the history of this country
was there 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 TO 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 is 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, jul
dcious rotation of crops and proper
marketing of products are the points
to which attention must be paid. No
business will 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 as
much as the latter. No farmer of
sound mind and unimpaired health
should fail at farming, for it, more
than any other occupation, is sug-
gestive of its own requirements sue
ceeding success. Like any other vo-
cation farming has its ups and down.
| Practical, scientific, well directed
carefully studied work are the farm
er's weapons with which to combat
adversely and win the abundant
prizes nature offers. A disgruntled
apathetic farmer who thinks those OF
his calling absolutely lost and can
never get out of debt, is menace to
any community. Grit and character
are all the capital that a young farm.
er needs to start in life. Most of the
rich farmers of to-day were poor
boys. Most of our noted men strug
gled with poverty, but grit and char
acter bore them on to success. OuI
exports have steadily increased, and
our farm products are going out in
large and satisfactory volume. Wheat
corn. and horse exports are notably
on the increase. All indications, al
home and abroad, point to condi

CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED.
stock ON the Farms of the
Southwest.

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 unIisturbed until thickly
clabbered, then the thin film of
cream, with generous substratum
of the clabbered milk was carefully
skinned off, for there must be plen-
ty of buttermilk, you know; and woe
would surely overtabe the dsobedi-
ent kid" who dared to steal taste
from the top of the pan, if 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 neigh
were as good, and the grass 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-
S6ition was twofold: Few of the cows
gave more than was required for the
calf, and cattle raisers wanted calves
rather than dairy products. Strange
to say, there are families who pur-
sue the same methods with cattle to-
day, though they are comparatively
few. In Texas, thirty years ago, not
one cow in ten could support her
calf and spare more than quart OF
milk besides, and many men of that
day would have gone on horseback sc
miles to see five gallon cow, or one
yielding a pound of butter per day
Since then times have changed, peo'
pie have changed and cows have
changed. Now one good family COW

REPAID HIS BENEFACTOR.
A Naval officer Who Denied Himself
Luauries That He Might Testify
His Gratitude.

Faithful to the friend of his youth,
for whom he lived life of self-denial,
Lieutenant Commander Chenery died
the other day. Some of his fellow
officers, members of the Naval Alum7
nj association, met at the University
club and placed on the minutes OF
their society tribute to the memory
of one whose nobility of character
they knew so well, says the New
York Herald.
As a boy Leonard Chenery, then
struggling for recognition, was be-
frienGed by man who did much to
aid him. The kindness of the bene-
factor was never forgotten by the
naval officer, and years afterward,
when his friend was incapacitated for
work and was reduced to poverty
the lieutenant commander, then re-
tired, learned of his predicament.
The pay of lieutenant commander
on the retired list is not large. The
naval officer was himself not in good
health yet he shared what he had
with the friend of his early days, sup
ported his declining years and helped
his family.
1t was a story which he never told,
Only few of his intimate friends
knew it, yet year after year he cheer
fully bore his double burdes. The
ant commander repaid is withheld,
for friends of the naval officer wish
that it be not Slade public.
This is the eulogy adopted by the
naval alumni:
"We have heard with profound sor-
row of the death o-f Lieutenant Com
mander Leonard Chenery and, in
seeking expression for our sense of
loss, feel that no formal statement,
collectively made, can fifty set down
the personal grief this engenders
Many of us knew him as a boy at the
naval school and saw him with high
honors in his class; others were his
shipmates and messmates on various
stations, and all have witnessed in late
years his patience under grievous

of us can bear affectionate testimony
to the brave and kindly spirit that be.
came even drawer and nobler as the
end drew near. We recall with hon.
est pride the stern sense of duty that
during the Spanish war kept him at
his post, despite physical ailments
which made every day end in all but
helpless exhaustion. Since his death
we have learned n story of tender
charity and of ennobling self-sacrifice
that he hid from the world, but for
which the world is better. To all his
! friends-and these were all who knew
him-he leaves the example of hero
and the loving memory of a true
sailor"
Lieutenant Commander Chenery
was admitted to the naval academy in
1861. He was graduated in 1865, and
subsequently served on the Swatara
and on the Pensacola. He was once
commandment of the Mare island navy
yard and was for a year connected
with the United States photographic
Office. He was retired in 1881. In the
war with Spain he was a recruiting of,

not amount to two per cent. of error in

German students, having quarrelcd,
decided the earth was not large enough
for both Of them to I've In. and resort
ed to the diabolical practice called the

the two young men drew lots. having
sworn that he who drew the black bail
would commit suicide. The unhappy
loser went to hia room and discharged II
bullet into his breast, but missed his
heart, and fingered for several days
on his deathbed. His parents were
summoned by telegraph and besought
him on their knees to disclose the name
Of his antagonist, but be steadfastly
refused and died with the secret locked
In his breast.
The students not only excused his
conduct, but praised his courage, and
when his remains were taken to the
railway station to be transported to =
distant city they accompanied the

sic. The students claimed he was not
