PITY THIS WOMAN.

While lot of rot finds its way into
the papers about the hard conditions
Of the farmers wife the ceaseless
toll, lack Of convepiences, isolation and
deprivation of social pleasures no
body ever peeps about the troubles
of the wife of the day laborer in our
cities-the woman who cares for big
family with the smallest resources and
who, living within touch of all the So
cial gayety of a city, is as far removed
from 1t as though she lived in a for
est or on desert; who has to buy all
the necessaries of life, even to milk
and eggs; who hears the church bells
ring out each Sabbath an invitation
she Is too poorly dressed to accept;
who too often mas to make the rounds
of the saloons to find Maynard hus-
band or son-this is the woman who
deserves your sympathy, not the farm
er's wife.

geuAL1z1Na LAND Values.

Improved methods of transportation
IRE great equalizers Of land values.
While the modern railway line has
made the good American farm worth
$1o0 per acre, the cheaply produced
and transporter products of such farm
have deteriorated the value of farm
landsf in .Engiand. Low priced beef.
pork, butter and cereal grains have
caused such reduction in rent rolls
in England that in many cases my lord
has actually had to get right down to
work and business in order to live,
while the bishop and the rector of the
Established church, long well fed on
lusty tithes attached to the& livings
while they gave their parishioners
boughten sermons costing half crown
each, are on short rations. Fertility of
soil and not location will in the near
future be the only factor in fixing the
value of farm land.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Col. Keever was pluming himself
for fight. 1t was his intention to
wing his way westward, alighting at
Harmony long enough to receive his
$3.50 from the committee of ways
and means.
To remain long in Concord would
be to court disaster. The score of
men from jamestown he had sent to
Amityville there to await him and
receive the $4,000 promised for their
services. Mr.. Pinchbeck was to pay
$4,000 of this sum in the event that
Concord won the contest. Concord
having lost-the men voting their
wages out of their hands--there was
no money for them Forthcoming. I'M
'mediately upon collecting the price
of his treachery from Col. Dingle.
Col. Keever's plan was to give
I Amityville wide berth
Lumber and hardware bills were
also due on account of the court
house. Young Herbert must Shout
der these and, to the end that I'M
pleasant questions might be avoided,
Col. Keever had begun his prepara-
tons for shaking the dust of Con-
cord from his feet as early as Tues
day night.
1t was his desire to depart secret
Iy, but on opening the front door of
his Office he found Christopher Waf-
re seated on the stairs. Softly clos
ing the door, the Colonel sought exit
from the rear, and on the back fight
he came upon William Comfort. The
Colonel, smothering his wrath, re-
turned to the sanctum and waited.
Then he tried again, only to. discover
that the siege had not been raised.
During the entire night the editor
made essays at intervals of an hour

That white hat, so often and
proudly declared to be the badge of
his political rank and social position,
was still about his ears, while the
crown, hinged by thread at the
back, opened and closed with every
movement of the four stout men who
carried the timber on their Shout
ders.
The Colonefs clothes were torn,
one end of his collar was Tapping
dismally about his neck and he had
lost shoe, but never once did he
forget himself and release his hold
upon his cane.
Some two miles out of town the
angry citizens dropped their victim
roughly and gave him warning, in
terms more forcible than polite,
never more to show his face within
the corporate limits of Concord.
Sampson was the last OF the in
dignant people to make his way
back to town. AS he was about to
pass from sight he turned for one
final glimpse of his former employer.
And there the Colonel sat, he, the
great man, who had raised out of
nothing that monument of tireless
energy and intellectual grandeur,
The Concord Blizzard! The monu-
ment was gone-passed away in a
breath-and there he sat, solitary
and alone, bordering the depth of
his fall.
And Sampson-was he touched by
the woful spectacle?
Rearing himself to his full height,
he gave shout of triumph and
waved his hat.
Hit me with your camel" he shout
ed, shrilly; ''hit me with your cane,
will you?"
Then the printer shook his
clenched fist, whir1ed about and dis
appeared.

A DEFINITE POLICY PAYS.

1t is the following up of a definite
policy on the farm which pays best
in the long run. This includes the Sc
lection Of and the sticking to the
breeding of some one variety of cattle,
hogs, horses, sheep and poultry and
the adoption of some system Of crop
rotation. The constant shifting of
breeds, the crossing and ,recrossing,
the hit and miss assignment Of crops,
are the heaviest taxes there are on
agriculture in this country today. One
cannot raise all kinds of stock no.
grow all sorts Of crops, and the very
common attempt to do SO results in
disappointment, failure and loss.

THE cow AND pRosPERITY.

1t is very interesting to watch the
evolution Of an agricultural commune
ty from the grain raising and grain
selling period into one of dairying and
meat production. 1t does not seem to
matter much what sort of commune
ty it is, whether native born or foreign,
whether the soils of the farms are
good or poor, it always comes that lit
tie by little that community COM
mences to get out Of debt, builds new
houses and barns and in few years
bears all the evidences of prosperity.
We have seen this evolution take place
in Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the
Dakotas. Kansas and Nebraska, and
it seems strange that so sure remedy
for improbable farm conditions is
often SO long neglected.

BEEF EATING ENaL1sHMEN.

An Englishman is naturally a car
nivorous animal. He is one of the
best judges of meats to be found. He
eats lots Of meat and wants it rare
done-sort Of bloody-so that it will
taste good to him. This undoubtedly
has a good deal to do with making
him such good scrapper and fighter.
He wants his beef cooked in large
joints and likes it better cold than
hot. He takes our best beef and pays
the highest price for it. AS he is GER
tain to keep on scrapping, fighting and
eating beef, he becomes one Of Amer
ica's best customers.

HOLD ON TO THE OLD HOME.

A man owning an excellent farm in
the state Of South Dakota got the Pa
citic coast fever and sold his farm last
winter for $40 per acre. At quite a
heavy expense he moved his family
and belongings out to the coast and
after spending three months there
hunting for location came back to
his old community and tried to buy
back his old farm, the owner Of which
wanted $12 per acre more for it than
he paid. If you ever get an attack of
this fever, rent the old place, but don't
sell it; then start on hunt for bet
ter place to live. Not finding it, you
will have place to come back to.

THE FARMER AND LEGISLATION.

THE FARMER AND LEGISLATION.
The real political power of the farm
ers Of this country was never better
illustrated than in the passage of the
oleomargarine law. Every congress-
man and senator who had cow keep
ing constituency heard from home, and
most Of them believed that their place
in congress really depended upon CIV
ing their support to this measure. It
proves that when the agricultural in
terests Of the country really want any
legislation in their interests all they
have to do is to go for 1t, just as they
did on this oleo business.

A PROBLEM IN RoADMAK1Na.

The agricultural department sent out
missionaries last year to preach the
gospel Of improved highway making.
They took the rock crusher and other
appliances with them and would stop
here and there and make few rods of
road. This may be all well enough in
some places, but what the great west
wants to know is how to take black
gumbo soil and convert it into good
foadbed when there is neither gravel
nor rock within fifteen miles.

Plants find the best condition of soil
for their growth and development
when the soil holds about so per cent
of the moisture of which it is capable
of carrying. Less than this keeps the
plant from making normal and
healthy growth, while an excess tends
to exclude the air, which is almost as
vital as water.

Twenty years ago the butter product
of the agricultural community where
the writer lives was made in all sorts
of ways, was of all sorts Of color,
smells and strength. 1t was the terror
Of the local merchant. who was almost
forced to take it Of his patrons. 1t was
placed In the cellar in old barrels and
sometimes shipped to Chicago to be
sold for song for axle grease and
sometimes taken by night and dumped
In the river to be rid of 1t. The cream
cry has changed all this, and that kind
Of butter is wholly unknown now.

The outlook for the farmers of the
country has never been more promis-
ing. Good prospects for crops are re-
ported from nearly all sections, the
foreign demand Is likely to be large and
prices are certain to be good. AS re-

further increased demand for farm
lands and still greater rush for the
unsettled portions OF the northwest.

west will harvest fine crop this year,
and that will prove great stimulus

Boarding house keepers and hotel
men will still use oleo, buying the col
oring matter and working the stuff
over to suit the taste Of their boarders.
For ordinary family consumption this
plan will not work.

Twelve years ago friend Of ours
gave $500 for a well bred Shorthorn
COW. This COW has raised him ten
calves-seven males, which he has sold
for over 500 each, and three heifers,
which he kept in his herd. He now
has fifteen full blooded descendants
Of this COW in his herd, all doing as
good work as their ancestor. This is
stock sense.
