misled by the fatal lead pencil which

A good rule of life is Don't get in a

cause you are in it. Another is Don't
change too readily. Look before you

wise man has said: ITO retain youth,
change your occupation every ten

To all those who long for country

no different from other industries.
The wise man does not say: 'Lo,

with rule the commercial world with
ready-to-wear scepter. The captains
of industry have all risen from the
ranks. If there is any better rule than
"begin at the bottom of the ladder"
we do not know It.
We do not understand the strange
fatality which leads hopeful innocents
to embark in bucolic enterprises with
little money and no training. 1t must
be the result Of the popular misconcep-
tion that anybody can farm"
The whitening bones of countless
failures show where these luckless
ones dropped by the wayside. They
started across the unknown sands,
without food, water or provision
against the scorching MONDAY sun, or
the deadly miasms Of night, led on by
the mirage of great profits.
It was once said of very able law
yer that he was "the best farmer in
the state-on paper"
TO succeed in any branch of farm life
the following requisites, while general
principles only, may be Of advantage
to those who think of trying new
thing:
I. Good health.
3. Love for the work.
8. Persistent and patient endeavor. |
a. Some capital. /
8. Common sense.
9. A knowledge Of the businesa.
The beginner may acquire health IN |
the process; this will be his first VIC
tory. He may lose his first enthusiasm
for the work: this viii be fatal. "Per.
sistent and Patient Endeavor" means ,
work; we are not considering gentle
men farmers" "Some capital is
broad enough to suit all purses; some
times the less the better. I don't
know why it is called common sense"

indispensable. A knowledge Of the

DUMPING PLATFORM.

platform (B), six by nine feet, nailed
to a four by six-inch piece turned
at the ends and pivoted at A, in
blocks nailed to the plank (C). A
rope is fastened to each end of the
platform, so that 1t can be tipped
to either side, as desired. Planks
can be laid across each bent and
sockets fastened to each one, so that
the dumping platform and its at
tached roller can be easily moved.
In order to be effective the bay must
drop every time near the center of
the platform. On wooden track
this can be effected by boring q hole
in the track and putting an iron
pin through it. On an iron track
the same end can be secured by q
clamp screwed on.

There are two classes of farmers,
says recent writer: First. the man
who is bigger every way than his
farm, To such man 1t doesn't make
much difference how many acres he
has, he runs the farm on close prao-
tical business principles and makes
a profit. Second, the man, whose
farm is bigger than he is. No matter
how many or how few acres he has,
he doesn't run the farm The farm
runs him. e. P. Snyder gives an ao-
count in the Ohio Farmer of q dairy
man living near Toledo. who keeps
IS Jersey cows on 100 acres Of land
and has made them earn the past
year 81, 400 gross, from which he has
q profit of $4,000. He makes butter
and sells 1t in Toledo at rs cents In
summer and 30 cents in winter. His
COWS, counting butter, skim-milk and
everything, earned him over $125
apiece. This is an extraordinary
herd.

The Statute of Limitation.

j Many republican leaders who, moi
fiong ago, we're going about wearing 6
worn, haggard and hunted expression
are now walking the streets of the ma
tion's capital wearing broad and ex
pansive smile that somewhat resembles
crack in frozen liver. Wherefore
Simply because on the 31st Of July last
the statute of limitation ran cut, they
are forever barred from prosecution
for the misdeeds and peculation they
INDUCED in while holding positions of
honor and trust under the national
government three years ago. There
are many mep who ought to have been
indicted and would have been had not
President Roosevelt told the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
not to investigate any of the cases
where the statute of Limitation would
run this year. 1t was known here also
that Perry s. Heath, the secretary Of
the Republican National Committee,
would have been one of the first to be
indicted, along with Machen, IL the re-
publican leaders had not stepped in and
put veto on the thing. Mr.. Heath
knows too much of the inside work
ings of the cogwheels and oiling that
the different parts Of the machine re-
ceived In the last two national cam
paigns. He might, as Rathbone threat
ened to do. "Pull down the pillars Of
the temple, and that would be danger
GUS to many In high places and leave
the republican skeleton exposed in all
It's hideousness. The man who invent
ed the statute of limitations should
have a monument erected to his men,
ory by the republican leaders for they
know how much tribulation he saved
them. The next convention Of that
party should pass the hat around, and
no one should be more liberal in his
donation than President Roosevelt,
for it has saved him world of annoy
ance and publicity, that might have
his political future. An
excellent slogan for the republicans
next year would be: Vive la Statute
of Limitations!

We're being made for an autopsy on the
body Of Simon Greenberg yesterday morn
Ing when the supposedly dead man sat
up and objected, so that Coroner Jack

Five doctors had said that Greenberg
was as good as dead and had gone their
several ways. and four persons had been
arrested on the charge of manslaughter.

jackson for the inquest, but the coroner
declined to receive them Lecause the
victim had "regained consciousness" as
the police blotter put II. They were sent
back to the court, where the papers were
revised TO meet the new conditions so
unexpectedly brought about.
