The Nebraska election returns seem
at length TO be very impressive to the
populist managers. They are tardy in
diagnosing the situation. The moment
they got power in Nebraska through
assaults upon the republican record
they became interested in the spoils of
political war and forgetful of the record
they themselves were to make. They
are simply reaping what they have
sown.

1t may be time that the effect of the
federal antitrust law has been that in
dependent corporations which previously
had made agreements in restraint of
competition to merge and ~reorganize out
right into one gigantic corporation. That
is a mere matter of form. The essence
of the evil continues. If the change Of
form defeats the law, then the law will
have to be changed to defeat the evil
under the new form.

One OF the publications OF the Depart
ment OF Agriculture gives a perspective
view OF the natural resources which the
country s~quanders annually and the strug-
gle to live such waste must entail on fu-
ture generations. "One OF the FIRST things
which a pioneer does" says the report, is
to grow crops which require little capital,
like wheat, oats, fax, corn and barley, but
which exhaust the soil. Every bushel Of
grain which he sells means the transfer
from his farm OF so much Of its plant food,
and our experts have figured to a nicety
how much Of the mineral elements of the
soil go out in each bushel OF the various
g~raino. The pioneer usually lacks the
means to follow such a system of agricul-
ture as will maintain the fertility Of his
farm. In fact, American wheat could not
be sold today in the markets Of the world
II It were necessary to buy commercial
fertilizers, and the nome price would be
vastly increased. We are now drawing all
the time upon natures accommodations OF
the past.
There are three important mineral fer
tiIizing elements. The first OF these is
potash. IL Is generally found in the soil,
but there Is only one place in the world
that has been discovered where you can
dig It up. and that is in Germany. An
other of the important fertilizing elements.
p~hosphoric acid. is found much more plenti-
fully. Large deposits have been discovered
in Florida and more recently in Kentucky.
These beds are the grave periods Of ma
rine creatures Of a previous period. The
third important fertilizer may be called
mineral, because IL is found in the soil,
although 1t comes from the atmosphere, and
that is the heterogeneous cement. These

very rapidly by wheat and other exhaustive
crops. Flax is very severe on the soil, and
so is tobacco or any other broad -leafed
crop.

as Insignificant in view Of tho many bene-
fits which the SO, 900, 900 city patrons get out

cially the business world-in evident recog-
milton Of the utility Of the system, becomes
more exacting each year in demanding more
frequent deliveries and collections of the
mails and the extension of the service to
new territory. Notwithstanding the large
annual increase in the cost Of improving
and extending the system, the volume Of
increase in the daily mails is so great and
constant that the percentage Of cost OF
maintaining the service. as relating to gross
receipts, shows no increase for the past
several years. Indeed, for the nscal year
Just closed a decrease of nearly l per cent
is recorded. On the LIST of July, 1902, the
system had been extended to 933 cities and

Dan Patch 1.59 IA

The feat of the PAGER Dan Patch, at
Readville, Mass, this week, in equaling
the fastest worlds record for mile at
this gait, was most remarkable. At the
same track, Aug. IS, 1897, Star Pointer
paced mile in l :594, and since then,
until this season, has held the honor of
being the only light harness horse with a
record faster than two minutes. His age
when he performed the feat was eight
years. Dan Patch was foaled in 1896,
and was, therefore, six years old when
he equaled the performance of his great
predecessor. He paced the first quarter in
.304, the second in .29l, the third in 294 =,
and the fourth in 80 seconds. The per-
Torrance constitutes technical record,
although Dan Patch started to beat 80 /,
and failed, but he did make dead heat
against time, and the time of dead heat
is record for all participants.
The interest in pacing has grown i'm
mensely in late years. rs has the volume
of racing at the lateral gait. Last season,
for instance, there were 9lS trotters to
enter the standard list. with speed of
, 80 or better, and SD PAGERS, with "A
speed of - or better, and there were
enough PAGERS that took more records be-
tween , 20 and , 80 to cause them TO
considerably outnumber the trotteIs for
the same rate of speed
Regarding the breeding of PAGERS there
have been lively discussion as to the re-
spective merits of what have come to be
styled pacing bred and trotting bred
PAGERS. Now honors are easy between
the two classes for extreme speed. Star
Pointer was by Brown Hal, who has him
self pacing record of 2;l2b, and has 45
of his get in the list without single
trotter, and in this respect no other sire
equals him. The dam of Star Pointer
was bred in obscure lines, which have
produced more PAGERS than trotters.
While the sire of Dan Patch was the fast
PAGER Joe Patchen, , :0lt, that sire was
bred in pure trOttlng lines, and so was
Zelica, by ilkesberry, the dam of Dan
Patch. 1t is fair TO say that the two
styles of breeding PAGERS now are on a
par. Judged by the fastest record, and il
is likely that they may be so for long
time, it being too late in the season for
the gallant son of Joe Patchen to surpass
himself, In all probability.
