GOVERNOR CumMlNs IN THE EAST.

Governor Cummins is in the east on a
tour of pleasure. observation and bust
ness, and will visit New York. Wash
ington and other points. The move
ments of any public official of his
standing always awaken attention, yet
q this case there is little reason for more
Than ordinary interest, tho without
doubt his acts and utterances will re-
ceive close scrutiny from some sources.
AS the representative of Iowa people
and as the exponent of her broadcast re-
ceived wherever he goes. AS governo.
of the state he has conducted the af-
fairs of his Office with such good judg-
ment and practical common sense as 10
win the approval and endorsement of the
masses: and he has thus fairly earned
and has been justly accorded the right
OF denomination and reelection.
OF one thing we think the people may
be certain. Governor Cummins will not
appear in the east as factionalist. All
interests and all shades of opinion will
be fairly represented. The views he has
30 freely expressed in his public utter
ances are those which have found ac-
ceptanoe with hosts of republicans in
the east from the president down. and
have awakened less opposition abroad
than in the houses of some of his pro-
fessed friends at home. However, there
has been a softening of the asperities
and the outlook is for harmony and a
concerted movement to maintain the
Iowa republican banner With all the ar
dor of old time Loyalty

statistics are certainly very significant

have registered decline of over $4,000
tons.
These coal supplies coming to our
country for the most part were used at

slightly diminishing the demand, so
that interior communities had a better

TO MAKE $50 FARM LAND PAY.

The farmers Institutes that are being
held in Iowa this winter are proving
profitable to those who attend and take
part in them. The interchange of views
), either confirms opinions already held or
give new ideas.to those who listen. A
man of experience, speaking in posi-
live way, exerts an influence for good
that is bound to be felt. There never
farming were more needed than in the
present, when high values of land make
the problem of profitable farming one
to be thoughtfully studied. How to
make $50 land pay expenses" was a
topic discussed by f. II. Miller before
the Worth county institute, in a paper
which the Northwood Anchor considers
good enough to print. Mr. Miller claimed
that "If our land will not pay the in
that 1t is a poor investment. The time
was when If 1t did not pay interest the
advance in price would make up the
deficiency, but land is too high for any
rapid advance in values for the present.
It has been an easy matter of late years
to rent land a a cash rental of $3.50
cent interest on $50 land. but it is hard
to convince the renter that he can pay
YOU per cent on $50 land, or a rent of
$3.50 per acre, and believe the average
renter would fail if so convinced. Then
il the cash renter will not pay you the
interest on the investment. you must
look for some other source to make
your investment pay"
Mr.. Miller has decided to turn his at
tention to stock, taking son into part
nership and raising just as much as the
farm Will support He expressed thu
belief that mo farm can be successfully
farmed for series of years without
keeping some kind of stock. Whether
horses, cattle, sheep or swine, depends
on the kind and quality of the farm. the
market demand, the inclination and
tastes of the owner. l have In mind
some Worth county farms that have
raised crops to be sold directly off the
land for the last twenty years-mostly'
corn and oats-and bought forty acres
of that kind of land a few years ago,

All these things help to make the farm
ray"
Taking a broader VIEW he is con-
WINGED that There are many ways to
make the farm pay: time and space will
not permit me to enumerate them all,
or to lay down any definite rule by
which all could make their $50 land
pay them. That is beyond the power
OF any man. Some could make it by
one branch of farming and some by an
ther--tforoughbred horses, stock or
grain--something that every farmer
does not raise. then there will be place
for the farmer to get choice animal to
improve his stock, or some choice kind
of grain to replace his run-out seed and
he could make a little extra money to
help pay expenses"
Summing up, he declares There are
many ways to make the farm pay.
Among these are keeping good stock,
keeping them we'll, using up-to-date
machinery and methods of farming
discarding the old worn-out methods
and theories: use brains as we'll as
Drawn: be economical and strive to
profit by last years failures. Above ALL,
don't try to farm all the land that joins
yours and not half farm any of it. Try
and stop all the farm leaks: farm what
you do farm in a thorough and scien-
tific manner. and I think there is no
danger but you can make $50 land pay
well. But there is one other matter per-
tanning to the farm that should have
mentioned before, and that is this:
Every man on farm should keep an
account of all his expenses, losses and
profits. and then he would know at the
end of the year whether his farm is
paying. Take an invoice each year of
stock on the farm. Keep strict ac-
count of all money you take in and
pay out and see that you balance up
at the end of the year. l am going to
do this and win give you the result
at next years meeting"
The Times Republican presents these
views of one man in the hope they may
prove profitable to others or inspire
thought that will yield good returns.

At first glance Illinois appears to
have fallen far behind 1890 in the mat
ter of poultry production, but the foot
note explains the reason for the appar-
lent decrease. The production of eggs
lin 1899, which was about 25,000,000
dozen greater than in 1889. is suffi-
Gent evidence that this industry has
made great strides in Illinois during
the last census decade. In the matter
of poultry on farms Illinois ranks sec
ond among the states for chickens, sec
ond for turkeys, sixth for geese and
second for ducks. The value of all
poultry on farms of Illinois was esti-
mated at S6,415.033. The poultry and
egg product was more than three times
greater than this, however the value
being .250,000-$11, 307,599 for poul-
try and SS.942,401 for eggs.
The value of all farm products Of
animal origin in Illinois was $130,S16,-

Illinois produced s6,402,670 dozens Of
