living is worth is proper to investigate.
The man in town who has to buy every
thing which enters into his daily liyin.,

his earnings goes for this purpose. Tie
farmer has no house rent to pay, no
water tax, no heavy municinal tax, and
he is almost entirely exempt from the

OF municipal tribute from which it is
utterly impossible for the town resi-
Gent to escape. On any well managed
farm all the breadstuffs needed fer
family use are obtained, also the milk

and fruits, and all of these Of the We: 4

is almost imperative that some of it
must be cut before it is just right in
order to save the last of it in good

days when the clover is just right to
cut, and that is when threefourths Of
the blossoms have turned brown.

MAUDLIN SYMPATHY.

There is a type Of ultra tender heart
edness and sympathy for dumb ami
mails exhibited by some people which
b. comes a good deal of a nuisance.
These seem to entirely ignore the fact
that in order that they may have meat
to eat some one must take the life of
the animal furnishing the meat. They
go cracked over dogs and are utterly
Indifferent to all the horrors of case
Of hydrophobia and all the other long
list of meannesses of which dogs are
capable. They call the dehorning of
cattle, the cutting off of the lambs
tail and the surgical treatment Of all
male animals cruelty to the poor dumb
beasts and meet you with the most
conclusive of arguments that if these
several processes are right the AL
mighty made a mistake when he Gre
ated the animals. Man was placed up
on the earth to subdue it. In this
work Of subjugation he may do much
by kindness, but not all. Some thin"s
must be done by force and harsh meth
DDS, and it is useless to ignore this
fact. ... . i've ~

A NOTABLE IRRIGATION SCHEME.
The first and one OF the most impor-
tant Of the irrigation projects under
taken by the general government un-
der the new law will be on the Salt riv-
er about fifty miles from Phenix Ariz.
The dam to be built at the mouth of
the canyon where the river emerges
from the mountains on to the plains
will be 1856 feet thick at the base, $50
feet long at the top. $50 feet in height
and will contain 100000 cubic feet
Of masonry. The reservoir thus Gre
ated will contain 100000 acre feet Of
water. drain over 5000 square miles Of
mountain territory and irrigate over
100000 acres Of now worthless desert
land in the valley Of the Salt river.
When thus reclaimed the land will he

is wonderfully productive.

The man who is not horseman in a
technical sense who wishes to raise a
colt or two on his farm will find it safer
to confine his efforts to raising the

There is always a good market for
these horses at three or four years Of

has taken the trouble to so smooth
down the highways bordering his farm
that he can run a mower over the sides
of the roadway as easily as he can in
his adjoining meadow. The result is
that he gets about three tons of fine

NAVAL STORES.


Wednesday, Aug. 26.
TURPENTINE The turpentine
market closed firm at 55@55Ac, with
the demand good and the offerings
taken. During the early hours there
was fair inquiry, and the feeling was
that the day would end satisfactorily
to friends of the market. The hot
weather brings out fairly full receipts,
but not in sufficient volume to depress
prices materially. While the future
course of the market cannot be fore
told the impression is that the market
has a good future
One reason for looking for better
market is the coming opportunities for
foreign shipping, when a large number
of foreign steamers will be here for
cargo for all the leading ports of Eu-
rope. The belief is that freight room
will sell around rates that will attract
exports, and this in turn will mean a
demand for naval stores which it is eX-
pected will have a beneficial influence
on the market.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed
firm and unchanged, with the demand
good and all grades being inquired for.
There is less disposition shown on the
part of exporters to discriminate
against any particular grades. Prices

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. 26.-The cotton mar
ket opened at decline of sos points
under the influence of cables that were
from to 8 points poorer than expect
"a, and better weather accounts which
brought about considerable selling by
those who had gone long on yester-
Gays advance. After declining an
other point or two on the active OPP
IONS, however, the market was rallied
sharply by aggressive clique support,
and soon the shorts were again in full
retreat with prices not only recover
ing all their early losses, but show
ing net gains as compared with the
close of the preceding day. The ad-
vance was stimulated as the session
progressed by renewed accounts OF
damage as a result of boil weeVil in
1e%as and rather more encouraging
accounts from the dry goods district,
with print cloths said to be In better
demand at hardening prices. Some at

Raxter and Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug 26.-The market
opened lower and then steadied some.
The Liverpool reports fell short of ex-
;pectations. Instead of going consider
ably higher that market was lower.
The rise yesterday was probably too
rapid and eagerness for profits led to
a lower level. The strong factors in
the situation cannot be ignored and
this must tell in the long run. There
is not enough new cotton moving. We
are now nearing September and there
is little being marketed. Nobody ex-
poets anything like last September's
movement, which was 1880, 900 bales.
The question is how much will be mar
keted this season, possibly not over
half the amount of last season, In
which event mills may enter the mar
ket with such eagernesS as to sur
prise~the trade and offset any possible
bearish features during the month.
The crop is not doing as well as
should be, and in six weeks the tenn
perature may be low enough to give
shorts a fright. Present prices may
then look very cheap and good people
are acting accordingly, especially as
the receipts at ports for the week so
far are but 600, against $4,000 last year.
December and January shorts were
covering extensively to-day. Gables
were 2 to 5 lower and quiet. Yarns

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, Aug. 26.-Cotton flu
lures steady; August, 12.9O@12 95c;
September. $11.22@11.23c; October, 1923
@10.24c; November, 10.02Q10.04c; De-
cember, 10.01@10.O2c; January, 10.04@
10.O5c; February, 1006@1O.0Sc; March,
1O.O7@1OO9c.
Spot cotton quiet; sales, 200 bales.
Quotations unchanged.
FutuVb at the opening were barely
steady and from 4 to points lower
than yesterdays closing. This was
caused by unfavorable Liverpool ca
bles, that market showing no response
to the advance in the local market yes
terday. The cause of the slight de-
preston in Liverpool futures was said
to have been caused by extensive real
izing on the part of the American
traders.
In the transactions to-day, Septem-
Der opened at 11.20c, sold down to
11.1Sc, then up to 11.35c; October open
ed 1017c, sold down a point and then
up to 10.30c; December opened at 9.97c
and sold up to 10.10c; January opened
at 10000 and later sold up to 1O.11c;
March opened at 10.O2c and later sold
up to 10.12c. Buying orders were not
so numerous as yesterday nor was
bullish sentiment so keen. There was
some reflection over the reported
heavy fruiting on the cotton plant in
nearly all districts as reported in the
bureau weekly of yesterday. This
served to offset the bullish influence
of other portions of the report.
In the opinion of a majority of trad
ers the statistical position is too strong
to allow any kind of slump and they
point out that with each succeeding
day the position is getting stronger.
Bear traders and spinners have been
hoping for movement of the new
crop or at least for some indications
of a movement for a long time. In
the late trading prices eased off from
the highest figures of the day, the
board at the close showing net losses
of to points.
