being told by the woman that she
would have nothing more TO do with
him, he drew a revolver. and with the

else shall" commenced shooting. Two
shots took effect in the woman's arm,
and n in the groin, none of which
will prove fatal. Clark then shot him
self through the heart.

NOT the Fault of the Farm.

We hear a great deal about "old
rundown farms" Whole sections OF
country have been almost ruined ag'
riculturally by the exhaustion OF the
fertility of the farms. In the south
west this has occurred-rarely, it is
true, but we know farms in Texas that
have been abandoned because the own
er could no longer subsist upon the
yield of the once fairly fertile soil.
This result is not the fault of the
farm, but of the farmer. One can not
continue Indefinitely to grow crops
and sell them without depicting the
land. If a farmer don't know this,
he should quit farming and go into
some other business more consistent
with his capacity. No man has right
to bankrupt his farm, and make bar
rem waste of ii. 1t is fact that some
men have too little capacity TO farm.
They might make able hodcarriers or
ditch diggers, but are beyond their
depth when they undertake TO farm.
A competent farmer will so manage
his business that his farm will become
more productive every year, for there
is where the profit lies.-Farm and

The SIipshOd Way.

Those who do not intend to cut their
corn or who have delayed the cutting
until it is too late. will propably slip
chuck ii, crib it and let the weevils eat
the best of it. Then they will be so
short of feed for a few months that
the hogs will be poor, the cows dry
up, and the plow teams will not be
strong enough to do any good plowing,
and as a result next years crops will
be short. But why grumble about
short crops when that which is grown
is one-third left in the field, and of the
balance a large portion is eaten by
weevils? Enough bi-sulphide of car
bon to protect an entire crib full by
killing gevery insect in it might cost.
half dollar. There will be a better
use for every bushel of corn saved
than feeding weevils. Where weevils
prevail, as Is the case over half of
Texas at least, few punches of rags
the size of large peach, saturated
with the bi-sulphide and thrust into
the corn foot or so below the surface,
will do the work. 1t is more satisfac-
tory than the old way of wetting the
corn, for while water enough will keep
out the weevil, it will damage the corn
more or less.-Farm and Ranch.

Easy to Get.

Pierpont, O., Oct. 5th.-Remarkable in

heved him almost Immediately, and has cured
him permanently. 1t is SO very easy TO gel

THE wIFE'S MORAL RIGHTS.
A Will-Malxing Incident Which Opens
Up a Wide Field of Spec
ulatiOn.

Has the wife moral right to take par,
In making her husbands will? This
was the question urged recently by a
wife, says American Queen.
With a legal aspect of the matter,
she had nothing to DO; legally, he was
not bound to consult her. and, on her
side, she knew that il she had possessed
money in her own right she could dis
pose of it as she desired. So far, it
seemed fair to both; but in this case
the only money possessed by the couple
was that which had been saved during
their married life.
1t was true that the money had been
saved out OF, the husbands earnings,
and had been banked and invested in his
name, but the wife declared that the
extent of the saving had been consider
ably increased by her. She had al
ways striven to make home comfortable,
and to obtain the maximum of happi-
ness with a minimum of expenditure.
By her careful household MANAGEMENT
she.had secured her object on a small
.,
she had taken her share in the per-
formance Of everyday duties in the
house. and thus caused her husband less
expense for servants, breakage and gen.
eral maintenance. Had she been so
minded. she might have spent much
more, and her husband wcdld have ac-
cepted this increased expenditure as a
matter of course. In that event his
savings would have been less; hence,
by logical reasoning, she had saved a
fair share of the amount standing to
his credit in the bank or in stocks. and.
as natural consequence, she had a
moral right to have a voice in the dis
position of the estate
In the instance of which we are
speaking, the husband recognized the
truth of the argument. and crossed out
the distasteful condition. This incl
dent opens up wide field of specula-
tion. AS general thing, the wife has
good moral grounds for insisting on
taking part in the will-making. as she

FARMER AND PLANTER.
ANGORA GOAT INDUSTRY,
Comparatively New Channel
Through Which Many Southern
Farmers Might Acquire Wealth.

A new Industry is offering itself to
the farmers and manufacturers of the
Unitei states. The fact that SIS ,000,-
900 worth CT goat skins are now an
nually imported into the United
States, and that her enterprising man
ufacturc~s are now obliged to send
halfway around the world for large
share or them, suggests that the farm
ers of the country have a great op-
portun';y to put a large share of this
sum into their own pockets, and that
the entire sum may be divided be-
tween or producers and manufactur-
ers.
A statement just presented by the
department of commerce and labor,
through its bureau of statistics, shows
that imnortations of goat skins into
the United States are now running at
the rate of SIS, 1000 900 per annum, and
that large share of these are
brought from Indie, China, Arabia and
southeastern Russia. The increasing
popularity of certain classes of kid
leather for footwear, as well as gloves,
has increased very greatly the demand
Tor goat skins in the United States
within recent years. In 1895 the
value CT goat skins imported was
about $4,000 900; by 1890 it had grown
TO s9.50o,oo0. by 1898 it was s15.O00,.
600, in 1900 it was $22,000,O00, and in
1903. s25,0O000O. IN round numbers.
OF rhis large sum of money sent out
of the country to purchase goat skins,
$7,00o,00o won't to China, $2,500,O00 to
France, s1,500,000 to Russia, 81 100000
to Brazil; s1,000000 to Argentina, and
another million to Arabia. From In
dia, which took less than s5,000,000
worth of merchandise of all kinds
from the United States last year, and
has increased her purchases from us
less chan 100000 in a decade, we
have increased our importations of
goat skins alone from s2,000,000 in
1892 to S7,500,0000 in 1902. From Bra
zil, which las reduced her imports
from the United States from 5,000,-
600 IL 1895 to s10,000,000 in 1908, our
purchases of goatskins last year were
S1,509,eGo. France, Russia, the Unit
ed Kingdom, Turkey in Europe and
Turkey IN Asia, Arabia, China, south
ern Africa, Argentina and Mexico also
contribute literally to the supply of
goat skins to mako up the s25,000,00O
worth of this product brought into the
Irp;tad Ctatac annually
The farmers of the United States
are apparently making no effort to
reap any part of the golden harvest
for themselves. The census of 1900
showed the total numer of goats in
the United States 10 be less than
100000 in number, and when it is un-
derstood that the skins of probably
20,000,000 goats were required to make
the 25,000,000 worth imported last
year, it would be seen that the supply
from the United States could have
formed but a small share of the total
consumption. Yet the fact that q large
share of our supply Of this important
import comes from India, China,
France and Mexico suggests that there
are large areas in the United States
which might produce goats success
fully and in large numbers to supply
the entire home demand.-Farmers'
