Waste Makes Want.
Farm and Ranch.

That German farmers in this
country generally are more pros
porous than American farmers is
a well known fact. But why is
this? In answering this question
our people jump to the nearest
conclusion-that they can live on
less than natives. That this is er-
roneous every one knows who has
associated with these foreigners"
at their homes. As a rule with
very few exceptions their tables
are abundantly supplied with
good, wholesome food, well cook
ed and heartily eaten. This is al
SO confirmed by their health,
strength and energy. They are
industrious, but who ever heard
of Germans denying themselves
rational recreation or social plea
snres? 1t would he well for
American farmers to initiate their
German neiyhbors in more ways
than one. One reason why Ger
man farmers prosper is that they
are practical and rational econO-
mists. They know they can get
more for their money by paying
cash for what they buy than 10y
having their purchases charged.
Hence they rarely go in debt, but
easily make 81 go as far as the
credit farmers $l,25. Germans
are economists in avoiding waste.
The truth that "a penny saved is
a penny made" they apply gener-
ally, allowing nothing 10 60 tc
waste that can be put to use
American farmers are said to be
the most wasteful class in the
world. We have heard the remark
that "a German can live on what
an American wastes" In many
cases this is not only true but The
German will live better than thu
American. Waste pervades every
department of the American farm
There is waste in feeding the farm
stock, both 10y improper methods
and deficient knowledge of th'
properties of the various feet
stuffs. The manure is wasted b,
exposure TO sunshine and rain
The wood ashes are dumped in {
pile in the back yard instead o
being applied to the soil. Their

BOTH UNDER CHARGES.
Two Colored Men Injured in a Fray
Last Night

There was a lively time in South Wash
ington last night among the police Of Lieu
tenant Mathews command when a report
was received that a murder had been COM
mitted near Sd and G streets. 1t was about
30 o'clock when the report came in and
all the officers in the station were sent out
on the case. They soon learned that
colored man, named John Butler, had re-
ce1ved number of ugly cuts about his
face. Butler was found and taken to the
Emergency Hospital where the physicians
found his injuries were of serious nature
He was extremely weak from loss of blood
and had not recovered from the shock. For
a time the outcome Of his injuries was I'M
certain, but the patient rallied before morn
ing and it is probable that he will recover.
When Buffers serious condition was made
known the police lost time in instituting
search for Joseph Mudd, colored, who was
alleged to have inflicted the wounds. Act
ing Sergeant Cowne and Precinct Detective
Kemp succeeded in overtakng him and
took him into custody. He had been cut
about the side of his body and badly wound
ed. The officers took him to the hospital,
where he was given surgical treatment.
Charges of array were preferred against
the colored men and they will be taken to
the Police Court for trial as soon as they
are able to leave the hospital.
