the farm as a homestead and has at
aimed success entirely through his owI
efforts He has posted up in promi-
nent place In each one OF his buildings
the following motto: "A place for every

Needless to say every part OF the farm
and every person who works on II
shows the indirect influence OF this mot
to The tool and machine houses are
In such order that no time need be lost
IN looking for implements. The rota-
ton Of the crops plainly shows the ever
present application OF this motto The

Of It's application. II Is scarcely neces-
sary to add that this farmer does not
belong to the too long list OF men who
complain that farming doesn't pay

GOOD ROADS SENSE.
Col. J. d. KiIIebrew Tells why Farm
ers shO.ld Favor Government
Cooperation.

The rapidity with which the senti-
ment IN favor OF national aid to the
common roads of the country has
spread, and the eagerness with which
the proposition Is welcomed since the
introduction Of the Brownlow bill In
congress, have not only been highly
gratifying to the friends OF the meas
ure, but surprising and astonishing TO
its opponents The truth is the great
body of the farmers of the land are slow
In demanding what they are justly en-
titled to. Had the same necessity as
the want of good roads among farmers
existed in relation to the manufactur-
ing, mining or commercial interests OF
the country, such necessity would have
long since been recognized and met by
adequate appropriations from congress.
The tillers OF the soil do not work in
concert for their own advancement. BY
the census of 1900 the whole number OF
people above the age Of ten years en-
gagged in gainful occupations In the
United States was 29,074,117 OF this
number 1881 ,765 were engaged In agri-
cultural pursuits No other specified oc-
cupation employs so many. The manu-
featuring and mechanical pursuits en-
ploy 7,0S5, 1892 persons; trade and trans
portation, 4,766,964 and professional
service, 1,25S,73 And yet the farmers
OF the country, that contribute more to
it's permanent prosperity than all other
classes combined, have the smallest
amount Of consideration in the matter
Of congressional appropriations. In all
the history of the past legislation OF the
country but few efforts have been made
to equaliZe the benefits Of congressional
appropriations Until the rural mall
routes were established a citizen living
N the country rarely received direct
benefits from the money expended by
the general government except that
for the agricultural department.
The commerce of the country felt the
exuberance of fresh and lusty life and
vigor from the improvement OF the
rivers and harbors, but this exuberance
would have been vastly increased had
half the money appropriated for rivers
and harbors been applied to aid in the
improvement and maintenance OF the
public roads. the very foundation OF
commerce.
1t must not be imagined that anyone
proposes that the government shall en-
ter upon the work OF building public
highways without the cooperation OF the
state, county or other political subdi-
vision. The policy OF the government
should be to help those communities
that help themselves; to stimulate ac-
ton and enterprise rather than to re-
press 1t by appropriating money to those
communities that do nothing for them
selves

question OF using the waste water

irrigation. The water Is applied with.

Such use Of the waste water Is certain
ly commendable one. and would be
especially sensible in the states where
there Is a deficiency in the rainfall.
Using the water in this way both gets

THE getty OF CRICKGTS."
Seems to BE an Appropriate Name fOI
San Antonio, Tex. Insects
Are Plentiful There.

"San Antonio ought to be called the
city OF crickets," said a man who has
just returned to New Orleans from Tex.
as. says the New Orleans Times,Demo-
crat, "for l have never found as many
crickets anywhereo on earth as found out
there. 1t Is not simply a case OF the
cricket on the hearth. 1t Is case of the
cricket everywhere you go. l have been
trying to figure out why 1t is that these
insects are so plentiful in the Texas town
in question. At night they swarm
around the electric lights like the bugs
we are familiar with in other places.
1t is impossible to walk along the streets
without stepping on them. And there ia
just bit OF poetry about the situation
in San Antonio with respect to cricket
life there.
The people generally look upon them
with q feeling Of affection, and it is
rare thing to see g -itizen show any
sort of indifference to the members of
this interesting family. No man would
think Of treading on cricket. They
take particular pains not to do anything
that would in any way injure the lives
or limbs of crickets. was speaking OF
the poetry of the situation. 1t is a fine
thing to hear the crickets grooming
early in the evening. They chirp as
cheerfully as If they were hidden away
in the weeds Of some romantic hedge
or on the hearth which has been i'm
mortalized in verse and song. Men hurry
along the streets; women brush along
with their musical skirts. and all the
while the crickets keep on grooming
their little love songs, Just as ii the
pulses Of humanity were not beating
about them. It is interesting, pictur-
esque, poetic and, II I had my way,
would christen San Antonio the City of
Crickets.' think the name would add
color to city already romantic in its
rich coloring"
