THE PASSING OF THE POPULISTS. Fate has moved swiftly to remove the last vestige of the populist party in the United States of America, There is not a populist in either branch of the national legislature. The death of Gov ernor Rogers of Washington takes away the only remaining state execu- tive belonging to that party. There probably will be on further attempt to run a populist state ticket in any part of the Union
 Governor Rogers was elected last fall for a term of four years. For some reason he ran ahead of his ticket and carried the election, while all of his as cociates failed. The republicans elect ed the lieutenant- governor, and there fore by succession they now come into full control of the Washington state government, City Journal.

For twenty years HIS wife has been m

Mr.. Catterson had done everything
that loving care could suggest but in

Kidney Pills and determined to give
them trial and was overjoyed at the
splendid result.
From the very beginning Of the treat

now she is nearly well and Mr.. CATER
son is rejoicing. He says: "Nothing
ever did her so much good. We will al
ways praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the
good work they have done for u.s."

Considerable complaint is made
by wool buyers of the habit of many

that fluff from this Irvine gets into

This has been hard year on hog
men on account of scarcity and high
price of feed. Even the breeders have
suffered from the same cause and
have not enlarged their business a.
they otherwise would have done.
The Live Stock Reporter says
that Suffolk ewes usually have twin

strength of the mothers, and their

LAWYERS AND THEIR FEES.
A Member of the Profession Gives .
Few Hints for the BENEFIT Of
HIS Brethren.

ia.
If you don't charge client enough.
he will make you come after the fee
Charge him trifle too much and he
will come to your Office and settle the
bill, says one of the profession, &C.
cording to the Des Moines Leader.
1t is always better to have a client
come to your Office and settle than
to go to his. It's like playing on the
home ground.
Whenever anyone wants to hire me
to do something for him 1 feel as
though 1 had the right to refuse.
But if he wants me to do it for ac-
commoda jon never know just how
to get out of it.
The less lawyer charges the har,l
er it is to collect his fee. The client
goes on the theory that you are not
much good; and it's human nature
to hate to pay for poor article.
A mans conscience is a good deal
like guardian or an administrator
or an assignee. 1t has a notion that
it ought to do all the business AMI
get paid for it and at the same time
incur no liability.
The law furnishes more and better
opportunities for getting into poll.
tics and the penitentiary than any
other profession But for a short
sure road to wealth it lacks consid-
cradle of keeping up a reputation.
When good lawyer dies who has
stuck to the profession all his life
it's generally said of him that he
worked hard, lived frugally and died
poor.
If man wants to be sought after
as an indorser and be able to get
money out of bank that belongs TO
other people he had better tackle
some other profession than the law.
Always have drawer open in your
desk into which you can throw the
novel you were reading when you
hear the hand of the welcome client
toying with the doorknob.
There's nothing that'll draw bust
ness like an interesting novel, unless
it's q game in the back room.
1 never could understand why
when man is arrested he win tell
the detectives enough to convict him
and then lie to his attorney.
How often when a young man
starts out in profession he is told
that there is plenty of room at the
top" and generally by people who
have never been there.

Very few farmers make the most
of their opportunities. The key to
success is doing things right and in
proper time. 1t is easier to do things
right than wrong, when the effort in
each case is measured by results. Too
much land for their capacity or cap
ital is the common error that many
American farmers adopt. 1t is bet
ter to master thoroughly the art Of
growing 200 bushels of potatoes ON
one acre than to keep on growing 100
bushels ON two acres. One COW
should give as mich milk az two,
with one-quarter or one-third more
feed. To obtain such results it is
necessary to study the relative value
of feeding stunts and their effect on
individual cows. The farmer must
learn the use of the testing instru-
ments in order to know If he is get
ting the proper amount of fats and
solids. He must also understand the
necessity of providing q comfortable
temperature with proper, cleanly
ventilation. Great orchards are
standing idle year after year. How
much better to master the difficulty
by causing q few trees to produce
abundantly every year. knowledge
with the necessary application will
do it. Barren trees can not be re-
deemed without considerable mental
effort physicalized. The same amount
of work spread over a large orchard
will fail-H. A. s., in Epitomist.

CLASSIFICATION OF NULEs.


:.
In DIR. Knights new work he river
the following classification Of mules
as furnished by the largest dealers
in Tennessee. Their idea of a mine
mule is not correct for. Pennsylvania
collieries. They use small mules.
IA to Is hands, the majority below
the latter height.
The sugar mules run in age from
three to five years old and from 49,
to 16A hands high; they are fed from
the time they are colts until they are
shipped to Louisiana.
The mine mules are from Is to fo
hands high, from Ave to ten years
old, and must have bone and good
foot and good body.
The dray mules are from three to
five years old, 1917 to 1871 hands high,
from 1900 to ! 400 pounds.
The cotton mules are from three
to five years old. 13N to 15H hands.
The mules sold to the British gov
eminent must be from FIVE to twelve
years old, but must be sound and
free from blemishes.
Mules from 151s to 1914 hands high
sell better in spring, summer and
fall for work in Tennessee.
The dealers begin to buy cotton
mules in the fall and fatten them for
the southern market, which com.
mences in October and continues un-
til March.
There are several advantages in
handling mules over horses. You can
sell them readily at any age. They
sell at weaving, one year old, or at
two, three, four, or at any age you
have him in market order you can
get his cash value. You do not have
to curry and rub and educate to tho
different saddle gaits and break him
to harness before he is ready for
market. You can often sell them
in carload lots instead of selling
them at retail, and by so doing you
get your money in bulk and can in
vest it to a much better advantagc.--

ARKANSAS EXPERIMENTS.


In April 1 began my planting ex-
periments. For a southerner the first
thought is to find money crop that
will displace cotton, as it can not be
raised at five cents per pound. 1 have
planted upland rice, castor beans
and broom-corn. Rice is worth two
cents per pound in the rough, and
fair average land will make about
1.6oo pounds per acre, with half the
cost of an acre of cotton, besides
having ton and half of rice straw
in preference to millet. Castor beans
are worth s1.65 per bushel, and COM
mon land will produce from IS to so
bushels per acre. They will grow to
perfection on poor, sandy soil, where
cotton can not be grown at profit.
Although they are half tropical, 1
have seen them growing as far north
as Missouri and Kansas. Broom
corn is a doubtful crop, as the prices
are subject to fuctuation, but il /
find it suited to my soil and climate,
I shall put in a factory when there
is no profit in the raw material. II
takes three acres of land to produce
one ton of brush, which is worth at
present from $125 to 5000 per ton,
though I have known it to sell for
$50. @s1
While / have been looking for sub
stitutes for cotton, I have not neg
lected the cotton itself, but am ex-
perimenting with seeds and fertiliz-
ers to see if I can not lessen the cost
Of production. am experimenting
in small way with hogs. keeping an
account with five shoats, and charg-
ing up their feed to them. l believe
