THE PENALTY OF IGNORANCE.

He was one Of those rare and queer
specimens who in some manner had
lodged and neglected all the splendid
educational advantages which America
offers its young people and at the age
of forty-fve could neither read nor;
write, save that he had learned how to
write his name in a sort Of crows foot
fashion. He was worker and, having
inherited some property from his IA
Their, knew how to successfully raise
hogs and corn and had made himself
quite well off. One day gang of tree
peddlers got after him and loaded him
up with an order for almost $1,000
worth Of stuff-trees and plants which
could not possibly survive single
northern winter-he in his ignorance
actually not knowing what he had
bought or how large sum he had
obligated himself to pay. When he did
find out there was blood on the MOON
but the agents were gone, and his or.
der, an ironclad one So far as he was
concerned, was in the hands Of COM

they can. If we were in his place we
would quit raising hogs and corn for al
couple of years, attend the country
school and meanwhile apply for the APP
pointment Of an administrator to look
after the business. While it is true

LIVING OBTAINED on THE FARM;
The living secured by the man of the
farm is often entirely overlooked when
summing up the disadvantages con-
nected with farm lifE and what such;
living is worth is proNS to investigate.
The man in town who LIS to buy every
thing which enters into his daily living
knows well enough that good part of
his earnings goes for this purpose The
farmer has no house rent to pay, no
water tax, no heavy municipal tax, and
he Is almost entirely exempt from the
hundred and one calls on benevolent,
charitable and public account, species
of municipal tribute from which 1t Isl
utterly impossible for the town resi-
dent to escape. On any well managedi
farm all the breadstuffs needed for
family use are obtained, also the milk
butter, cream, eggs, poultry, vegetables
and fruits, and oil of these Of the very
best are found on the farm. The bill "
fare at the farm home is always good,
quite often more varied and of much
more costly things than would be-
found on the table of the average town
resident. Now, assuming that there
are seven persons in the average farm
home-the man, his wife, four children
and hired lnan-is it supposable that
they could live as they do for less than
500 per year if they lived as well in
town? Now, this $700 should in all
fairness be credited, with house rent
say $3.50 more-to the advantage OF iiv-
ing on the farm, when the fact is that
very little account is made of it by the
majority of people.

THE NoRrHWEsr WIND.

The northwest wind Of the great in
terror prairie region Of the northwest,
while during the winter season the
bearer of the blizzard and the pitflessl
cold-sayage, merciless and destructive
becomes an angel Of mercy, bearing,
healing on its wings, during the trop-
zeal heat Of the summer. What tonic
like that of the northwest wind after
days of enervating and depressing
heat! 1t is the twin brother Of the
clear, cool spring water and is as COOL
ing, refreshing and satisfying as thel
gushing water to thirsty lips. We know
that it will whirl the snow in mighty
drifts all too soon, that it will persist
emily seek out every crack and Granny
in house and barn and sting and roar
in midwinter revel, but during the
dog days it comes to us like benedic-
ton.

mAunL1H SYMPATHY

There is type Of ultra tender heart
edness and sympathy for dumb ami
mails exhibited by some people which
becomes 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 a 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 aSmistake when he ere
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 things
must be done by force and harsh meth
DDS, and it is useless to ignore this
fact.

The dam to be built at the mouth Of

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

mountain territory and irrlgate over
100000 acres Of now worthless desert
land in the valley Of the Salt river
When thus reclaimed the land will bel
easily worth $50 per acre. as the 1soill

visibility Of fall planting of strawber-

winters are long and severe, 1t is all
wrong to plant this fruit in the fall.
There they should be planted in the

condition. Farther SOUTH where there
Is little or no frost during the winter,

The plant food in the soil is taken
by the plant or tree by absorption, the
tiny rootlets, which are the mouths Of
the plant, sucking their food from the
soil; hence the necessity Of SO prepar-
ing the soil that the plant may readily
obtain its food. AS well expect baby
to thrive by feeding 1t crusts of bread
and tough meats as to expect plant
to do well with nothing but clods to
feed on.
