THE PASS WAS GRANTED.
Young Man Of Facile Reasoning
Ability Has Only Once to
Ask for It.

A young man who was working for the
railroad company went to one of the direc-
tors and asked for pass to some distant
point, relates the Philadelphia Public Led
ger.
"You have been working for us some
timer" inquired the official.
Eyes, sir" the young fellow answered.
Have you ever had any complaint to
make|
mo, SIR" answered the employe.
well, if you were working for farmer,
would you have the nerve to ask him to
harness his horses ard take you to a GER
tain part of the country" the director
asked.
mo, sir. But if he had his horses all
ready, and was going TO that point, would
call him a very mean farmer if he refused
to take me-" was the young fellows reply.

Grounding Barbed Wire Fences.

Grounding Barbed Wire Fences.
A letter from Atchison, Kan, says
that an unusual number of live stock
have been killed this summer by light
ming running along barbed-wire fences.
Twelve cattle were thus killed recently
near Pennington; they stood with their
heads against the wire. Electricians
say there is no limit to the amount Of
electricity a barbed wire can carry, but
that farmers can prevent this killing of
live stock by grounding the wires fire.
quently along the fence-that is, run a
wire connected with the barbed wires
into the ground from the posts at dis
lance of about 100 feet These grounded
wires will carry the electricity into the
ground. A charge OF lightning striking
barbed wire will kill anything touch
ing the wire, even though the fence be
20 miles long.

Best Results from Meadows.

The Michigan experiment station
found after repeated tests that about
four times as much food can be obtained
from meadow by allowing 1t to mature
hay than by pasturing It.. This means
that four cows can be kept on the Land
by growing hay instead Of pasturing II;
or, to show 1t in another light. four
times as much land is required for pas
ture as for hay, for the same number Of
cattle. Green food is given by grow
ing soiling crops, but in soiling from
two to three times the number OF cows
can be maintained than by pasturing.

A Cure for Kicking Cows.

To keep a COW from kicking while

argue about, said a practical farmer
the other day. We just buckle a strap

Two Sets of PIunderers.

The oS1dniZatiOn of the western cat
tie barons to fight the beef combine is
an anomaly, as both are after the
same game OF plunderinG the public.
The barons have banded themselves
together into what might be termed
the grass trust and are trying TO get
the farmers of the western states TO
help them 10 fight the beef trust. As
the cattle barons are even worse rob
bers thnn the beef barons. In that they
monopOIiZe all the valuable govern
mcnt land and through their rctainers
prevent, by force OF arms If necessary,
any owner OF n small herd or settler
from intrHding at the peril of his life.
To show the power OF these cattle
barons they have succeeded In forcing
President Roosevelt to give up his In
tention OF removing the barbed wire
fences with which the bRronS have I'M
lawfully Enclosed about all the govern
ment land on the western plains. Polit-
ically both these combines are Repub-
licanS and liberal contributors 20 the
campaign fund OF that party, which
probably accounts for their immunity
from punishment by the Hdmlnistra-
tiOn. Farmers Will best conserve their
own interests by steering clear OF both
the beef trust and the grass trust, who
are monopolists and viii plumber the
farmers after they have settled their
own differences.

A Chicago Hero.

We make generals at a rapid clip in

physician, will soon be the head of
the army. Funston. of Kansas, rushed
To the Philippines in quest of fame.
One day. at last so he claimed. he
swan across river in the face of n
deadly fire from Filipino soldiers. That
swimming feat made him famous and
he was heralded as one of the great
soldiers of the century. y few years
ago he was a clerk i'm one of the de-
partmentS in Washington. But the
swimming episode boosted him into a
brigadier generaIship over the heads
of hundreds of wOrthier men.
But alas and alack for Funston'S
fame. The school commissioners of
Kansas made a quiet little investiga-
ton. They unearth enough TO lead to
the belief that Funston did not swim
the treacherous river because he can
not swim a stroke. They found the
river episode unworthy of belief and
forthwith ordered all reference 10 the
affair To be eliminated from the school
books of Kansas.
But Funston has the better of the
argument. He i brigadier gen
eral in the regular army. swim or no

YOu, with your intellectual endow-
ments and your spiritual nature
touched by divinity can as
much be said of YOU when
you are gone and six feet of
earth are mounded up where you are
laid away-that you provided shelter
and warmth for someone's winter and
left no scar where you grew?
The grasses, the plants, the shrubs,
the weeds even, do not consume soil;
they make it. The whole habitable sur
face Of the earth has been transform
ed from bleak rock to fertile soil by
vegetation that has given in grow
ing and has grown by giving.
We call the plant an inanimate
thing. and yet it is the only thing in
all the world that knows how to manu-
facture living material.
1t makes il of carbonic acid gas, to
man a poison. and in the process it
releases oxygen, TO man the chief life
giving element. But for plants the at
mOsphere of the earth would be a
deadly gas.
plant in its life teaches US. if we Will
learn. a splendid lesson for spiritual
growth In the great cycles of nature
extremes meet and the highest comes
in touch with the lowest. Man. too.
if he Will learn of the plant, may
create life forces-not Of material
sort. It's true. bnt infinitely higher.
We, no more than the plants. can grow
from our OVID rootage. No; like them.
we must feed upon poisons. Toll. suf-
fering. poverty. sickness. despair and
all the other adversities of our fellows
we must take 10 our own hearts. if
we would have real character-build-
ing and release to the world the life
giving oxygen of human sympathy.
In the same degree as the plant
takes in poison and throws ont pure
oxygen. il grows. And, whether we
realize it or not. whether we believe in
it or not. whether we care or not.
man grows in real human growth
only in the same degree as he. too,
absorbs the poisons of his moral at
mosphere and gives out helpful sym
pathy.
He can no more grow upon his own
joys than the plant can grow upon
oxygen. Yes; man in his real life. like
the plant. grows as he gives and gives
as he grows. Are the wells of your

YOU are not absorbing and distiIling
