To Cheaper a Portrait.

Old Uncle Ben wanted to have his
portrait painted, but he did not
care to pay very much for it.
"Surely that is a very large sum, .
he said when the artist named the
price.
The artist protested and assured
him that, as portraits went, that
was very little to ask.
Uncle Ben hesitated. "Well," he
said at length, chow much will it

Mr.. John G. Webb, Of Florida,
writes to the New York Sun quoting
. dictum Of John G. Calhoun, that
"cotton cannot be proiitably raised
where there is no frost" This was
announced in one Of his masterly
speeches in the United States senate.
Er. Webb continues: '.Since then
have become Southern farmer and I
have learned that Dir. Calhoun's die
tnm is true. The cost Of eliminating
the last yesr's foliage, unsided by
frost, is too great" This is another
illustration Of the profound philoso-
phical intellect Of Calhoan. He was
not content to go along blindly, but
he must first see things, and then see
the reason Of them. How many per-
sons, farmers or others, would have
thought Of this and realized that the
tenderness of the cotton plant is a
blessing because q hardy plant would
not easily be removed from the soil?
1t has been said that Calhoun was the
best farmer in South Carolina. He
certainly was close observer. State.

NEW EsTRAY LAW.

A new stray law was passed at the last
session OF the Legislature, which changes
the methods OF the old one quite con-
siderably. 1t takes effect July |. The
old law provided that all stray notices
should be published in some one paper.
The pape~ selected was the Redffeld
Press, and, of course, the chances were
dollars to doughnuts that the owner Of
an animal would never see the adver-
tisement. TIL new law remedies this by
requiring the notices to be published in
a paper In the county. This law will
have very little effect on the range, as
on free range there are no such thing
as strays, everybody's stock being en-
titled to the same privileges. The SUBJ
stance 0 the new law Is as follows:
Within ten days persons taking up an
estray must place an advertisement for
three weeks in some county paper,
giving close description of the animal
and of all marks and brands, when taken
up or when 1t came into his enclosure,
giving post.office address and section
and range Of the advertiser, who shall
also send similar notice to the register
of deeds.
If estray is not claimed in ten days the
advertiser sends to the register
deeds sum sufficient to paysSr adver-
tising the estray i'm tIgss state official
paper.
At the end OF II months II estray is
still unclaimed, go before justice and
make affidavit to the facts; he appoints
appraisers and the estray Is sold, costs
and claims paid, and the balance goes
into the county treasury.
A person who shall lay claim to an
estray shall make affidavit to his iden-
tity and ownership before justice and
pay costs OF advertising and keeping.

LISTED CORN.

This is not likely to be very good
year for listed corn. In recent trip
through weston Iowa, and we presume
the same conditions prevail in east
ern Kansas and western Missouri,
we noticed that the listed corn is not
In good cond ition. Where the land Is
fiat, the water may be seen lying In
the burrows after any Of these recent
heavy rains. Where the land is rolling,
the great deluge OF water with which
the section mentioned has been visited
accumulated Ia the burrows and washed
out the corn. In dry seasons in these
loose, light soils where listing is the
favorite, this method is perhaps the
cheapest and the best. Corn can
be planted earlier, grown with less
labor, more acres can be grown to
the man, it is less liable to blow
down, and ii dry weather will stand
drouth better than corn planted in any
other way.
1t will thus be seen that there are
two sides to the question as to whether
man should list or plant in the usual
way. If hecould be forewarned Of the
rainfall OF the season, he would know
In advance whether to list or to check.
AS 1t is be must always take bis
chance. We have always recon-
mended listing, excepting on the very
rolling lands, as the best method In the
light, loose soils Of the Missouri valley.
We have never recommended 1T east ol
the divide between the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers, except on bottom lands
with a light alluvial soil. Illinois ex.
periments have shown that il point b
producing there Is no advantage on this
soils Of that state In listing over check
ling. There is . tendency in the sections
where listing Is most common to lis
and then check. Improvements will b,
I doubt be made In listing that will III
crease It's advantages and obvjnte soml
Of the objections. but We know OF ii
il way possible To obviate the diEiicultie

THE popuLlsrs AND ROOSEVELT.

The assertion OF prominent Kansas
populist that he and the greater por-
tion Of his element in his state will
support Roosevelt in 1904 is bothering
some OF the democratic papers. What
do those papers think the populists
ought to doY Most OF them in Kansas
and the other republican states OF the
west were drawn from the republican
party. Now that their party and the
issues which produced 1t are dead it IL
natural that they should return to
their original aifiliation.
Moreover, the populists OF Kansas
and other states OF the west have
another reason for reioining
the republican party. They
see that the republicans in the past
year have done more against the trusts
than the democrats could do in a
decade If they had the whole Of the
machinery OF the government under
their control The democrats talk
against the trusts, but they did not at.
tempt to do anything against them
when they had supreme control Of the
government in the early part of Cleve-
lands second term. They would have
done nothing against the trusts ii they
had been Ia power uniuterruptedly
until to-day. The leaders of the
democracy know this So do the trusts.
OF course, the populists OF Kansas
and all the rest of the states of the
west, will shout for Roosevelt In 1904
On the great issues OF the day, the
tariff, the trusts and national expan-
sion, the western populists are on the
side S0f the republican party, and
always were. Free silver Is as dead as
slavery. The issue OF greenbackism
and OF federal loans on deposits OF farm
stock, is ancient history. There Is no
place for the populsts of the prairie
states to go now except into the re-
publican party. Colorado, Montana,
Nebraska and all the rest or the states
OF the mountain and prairie region
which recently shouted for Bryan, are
stalwart, republican commonwealths
again, and will remain so. Kansas gave
SO, 600 plurality to Harrison ia 1883.
Her margin for Roosevelt in 1904 will
be very little, If at all, below that
mark. - Louis Globe Democrat.

I'VE should be very much pleased to
have some one state reasons why the
lclimate is so much warmer, and the
soil so much more productive in Cam
ada 600 miles north OF here than In
this part OF the country. We have not
made a careful study of geography for
q few years: but when we we're study
ing the subject we were just the re-
verse. Il Beregord Neaos.
The above reminds us OF story Of
Ben. Franklin who was said to be
quite joker In his day. He was at.
tending scientific gathering OF
savants somewhere on the continent
and propounded to them this problem:
"Why is 1t that globe even full OF
water does not overflow If you gently
drop into it a couple Of goldfish?n All
kinds OF scientific and ingenious ex-
plantations were offered and the
warmth Of the advocates of two rival
and antagonistic theories came near
breaking up the conventions At
length Franklin brought In globe
and tried 1t, and showed 1t wouldn't
work. Those who have tried the COM
parative merits and attractions Of the
two regions above mentioned are the
best qualified to decide as to the truth
or even the possibility of the above
situation.

THE recent decision of the Court OF
Appeals of the District of Columbia
shuts out of second class postal privi-
leges the Riverside Literature
Series" published by Houghton, Mifiiin
& Co., and similar publications, giving
the works OF Sir Walter Scott, Dickens,
Thackery and other authors in month
~ or regular instalments. Such re-
prints can hardly by any stretch OF con-
struction be regarded as periodicals
and will now be deprived OF the pound
rate privilege. Publishers have done
very much no doubt towards cheapen-
ing good literature for the reading
public by making Uncle Sam pay the
freight, but at the same time they
have created the large annual deficit
In postal expenditures over receipts.
Schools and colleges that have been
sending out catalogues and bulletins al
serials under this law will hardly be
affected by this decision.
