seph G. Smith, colored, forty years of
age, who is under sentence of death for
the murder of woman, the date of
whose execution is next Friday, but
who probably will not die on that date
for it is understood that his friends at
Abba have decided to appeal his case.
Smith declares no one ever treated
him right, SO why should be regret to
leave the world? He has faced his
doom for year without fiinching or
concern, and received word of delay in
the execution as stolidly as he had
lived facing the gallows.
He pleaded guilty, so that the basis
of his appeal now is shrouded in mys.
terry. The appeal has not yet reached
the supreme court.

The question of the best method to
care for the infrm and needy poor Of
even our best communities is serious
one. The most practical and salts
factory method we have seen tried is
for the county to own a good farm,
have it operated by competent and
practical farmer and have on the farm
commodious home for the people to
be cared for. Such little work as these
people are capable Of doing is readily
put to good use on the farm in many
ways-in the care Of the garden, the
poultry and the stock. The farm con-
ditions and environment are of the best
in sanitary sense, and where such a
farm is managed, as 1t may be, the
cost of keeping such people is reduced
to minimum. The committee Of the
boards Of supervisors who have such
a farm in charge should be practical
farmers and never politicians. Other
wise the Dian Is likaiH. to hA asfaiIure.

One of the marked changes in prog
ress among the American people now
in progress is the leaning toward the
farm, the desire to own piece Of land
and to know how to cultivate it. At a
prominent agricultural college in the
west twenty years ago there was In an
enrolment of 600 students but just one
that was taking the straight agricul-
tural course. The rest were fitting
themselves to be doctors, lawyers, par
sons, teachers and mechanics. At the
same college this winter short course
in agriculture has drawn there thou
sand young men who want to learn
how to grow corn, Judge stock and all
about soil culture, and every one Of
them goes back to some farm to put
into practice that which he may learn

More farmers than ever before are
studying how best to change their
methods of farming so as to dispense
with the annoyance Of hired help. Dali
rying is being abandoned, more acres
will be kept in pasture, farms will be
made smaller, and steers will take the
place of the cows. Too many men have
learned the tyranny Of hired help by
having the man hired for the season
jump his job just as harvesting, hay
ing or corn picking time arrived.

taste which men should do all iii their

brighten up the home grounds, and

THE FARMER AND BANKRUPTCY.

THE FARMER AND BANKRUPTCY.I
When farmer appears in the bank

that he has been monkeying with somes
thing outside Of his legitimate business
He has been either buying S., 900 bulls
taking flier on the board Of trade
specializing in Dakota or Canada lands,
biting at some fake scheme and trying
to beat a man at his own game; raising
a worthless set Of boys or going surety
for some friend. Crops may fail for al
year or even two years, prices for farm
products may be unremunerative for a.
time, but men pull through these trou-55
bles all right and are soon on their
feet again, and 1t should be said, and
said again and again, that If a man
will do his whole duty by the farm he
will never get into the list Of the.

to pieces where one farmer does, any
way. Whatever may be said against
farming, it remains as the safest bust.

Where men were wise enough to pro-
vide for one, the winter pasture has
been a great success in the west this
year. This pasture is simply field Of
blue grass from which the stock was
removed last July and the grass allow
ed to grow. With only a little snow
and moderate winter weather, stock
will live on such pasture in preference
to any stored foods.
