 And live a good life. There can be no privileges where there are no duties. A mans philosophy is usually found sd on his practice.
 The little mans lifeis small because he circumscribes it within himself. The world does not ne9d bette philosophy so much as it does better philanthropy.
 The worst thing in vice is it's attempt to pass for virtue.
 A mans outlook will depend very much on whether be is looking out for himself alone.
 The reason we misunderstood people is because we look at their negative be- fore the print is made. Policy is prudence prevailing over principle.
 A man is in bad way when his fu- ture is all behind him. Polish is not purity. A slippery character will not insure you against friction in life. Boiling anger scalds nobody's fingers but our own.
 You can not step on the Devils toes while you carry him on your back. The man who can learn from his own blunders, may always be in school Some people eat green apples and then sigh about their crosses. The covetous man finds it uphill work to be honest. A vote without conscience back of it never represents manhood The man who can hold his tongue when he should, has the Devil at a disadvantage.

"A Philosophic Tramp"

Webster says the definition OF the
word tramp" as applied to a human
being is foot traveller; stroller: va

above terms would apply to Weary

Daughter" one OF the most powerful
dramatic plays by an American author
ever produced in this country. But
the author has departed from the old
conventional lines and made the char
ac;cr noble one. and on higher
grade than the usual stage tramp.
The hero. or ..philosophic tramp" as
the author calls him. is skilled. deter

presence ON the stage intcnsifcs the

instead of a high ridge in a half
desert country.
What Does II.
Cultivation did it all. Not a drop of
water was applied artificially to these
fields. There is none within reach to
apply. The soil is plowed as early as
possible the summer before the crop
is to be planted, Within four or five
hours after p.owing. what is known as
a packer is run over the ground. This
packer. designed by Mr.. Campbell,
consists of a series of wheels. with
wedge-shaped, instead of flat rims,
mounted or an axle. and packs the
soil literally instead of vertically.
This is TO leave no .arge air spaces in
the lower part of the furrow, but the
surface loose. Every few weeks
thereafter until seeding time the field
is gone over with a harrow that mere
ly fines the surface. forming a dust
blanket that prevents the moisture in
the soil from rising and escaping. II
it should rain, this dust blanket is
used at once TO form another. In this
way every drop of water is stored NJ
and the soil is put in ideal condition
for seeding.

in Washington he could not get into
very close touch with the big depart.
mental bureaus. Secretary Wilson has
tathered the department in a benevo-
lent and kindly way, and has let
things run under a loose rein.
But the danger ed the weakness
arises from the fact that everything
depends on the personal integrity of
the men who chance TO be at the head
of the various bureaus. Even in their
expenditure of money they were not
required to make any detailed or full
reports 10 the secretary.
Along with the growth and indie
pendence Of the big bureaus there
arose jealousies among the various
bureau heads, and these jealOusies re-
suited In secrecy as TO the doings of
the various bureaus. The bug bureau,
finding that an appropriation of half
a million might be made to fight the
cotton boil weeyil. and wanting that
sum for themselves. would work and
lobby against the plant breeding bu-
reau, or vice versa, for fear the other
scientists might be the nes selected
to eXpend that money.

sistant secretary Of agriculture has

ham died, and after the Office had
been vacant for several months, the

By ellison Gardner.

Special correspondence to The Citizen
Washington, Aug. 1O.-The over
hauling which has begun in the de
partment of agriculture will be sure
to develop other Irregularities, If not
gratis.
The trouble with the department OF
agriculture is lack of executive CON
troll. II has been running for a num-
Der of years with scarcely any reg
ulation. Spending yearly upward Of
Sc, 700 geo, the big specific bureaus OF
which it is made up have had pract-
ically no regulation or oversight.
Secretary Wilson is a man of un-
doubted integrity. He is not a good
executive. His chief lieutenant, up
to June "a, 1904, Assistant Secretary
Jos. II. Brigham, rendered him no
efficient aid in this regard. Col.
Brigham was appointed for political
reasons by President Mckinley. 1t
is an open secret that in the position
OF assistant secretary of agriculture
he was only in the way.
Secretary Wilson was often away
from Washington. During campaigns
and for a considerable period before
and after, il has been his custom 10
take the stump among the farmers
In fact, Il has come TO be an almost
recognized part of his official duties

y by. a. D. LN0alN-
Hin CITY. Kan, Aug. 10.-Go where
you will and the rumble of a coming
revolution in the farming methods OF
the semi-arid belt can be heard. me
old hit-and-miss, feast-and-famine con
ditions that have prevailed are TO De
succeeded by a continuous era OF
good crops. This is no idle dream.
In this revolution, cultivation is
the watchword, and II. w. Campbell,
farmer and student of soils, and soil
culture, is the leader. There are
Others who have been thinking n
working along these lines also, In the
semi-arid or short grass country.
This semi-arid belt extends from
the Canadian border southwark
through the Dakotas, eastern Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado, and in
u the western halves of Nebras-
ka, Kansas and Oklahoma and parts
of Texas and has an area of a quarter
million square niles. The average
rainfall varies from - inches on the
western to is inches on the eastern
border; enough to moisten the
soil deeper than three or four Feet.
Below this depth, until the under
ground sheet of water is reached. the
soil II most places is practically dry
and hard. There is no store OF moist
ure ready to be drawn up by capillary
attraction within reach of pant roots,
as in the humid sections. The only
thing that can be done is to preserve
carefully every drop of rainwater and
keep IL where the plant can reach 1t.
This is what the Campbell system
of farming does.
Demonstration in Kansas.
Mr.. Campbell has been working on
his system of farming for the short
grass country for several years. He
demonstrated on his own land in Ne
braska that it was a success, and
others began to note it. Five years
ago J. P. Pomeroy, of Colorado, in
duced him to start a model farm on
this system on land owned by Pome-
roy in Graham county, Kansas, where
the average rainfall is about fifteen
inches. The location selected is a
high ridge near Hill City that had
been farmed for fifteen years. yet
never produced a paying crop prior to
1900.
The results have been marvellous.
In the five years not less than forty
bushels of wheat per acre have been
harvested annually, while the average
of Graham county for the same years
has been less than thirteen bushels
pei acre.
Except along the streams, the grow
ing of trees had been thought i'm
possible in Graham county, yet or
this high ridge Campbell's system has
produced trees that would be a credit
to any country in the given length Of
time. Elms and soft naples. cher
ries, apples, peaches, plums and other
fruit trees are thriving as though il

This is caused by the improved soil
and moisture conditions.
In the spring of the year the wheat
Is narrowed twice by a specially de.
vised spring tooth harrow. This cul-
tivates the young plants and forms a
soil mulch to prevent evaporation.
At least once in three years the
soil is allowed to lie idle through the
summer, being plowed early and sum
mer fallowed. In this way a supply
of moisture is stored up for the com
ing crops. This only gives two crops
in three years, but the farmer only
has the expense of seeding and har-
vesting two crops, beside saving half
or more of the seed. Also, and very
important, too, ne is sure OF a crop
every time he svws.
Good for Orchards.

for seeding

One of the most notable things in
growing wheat by this method is that
only thirty pounds of seed are sown
per acre. The ordinary methods re-
quire 60 to rs pounds of seed in the
semi-arid belt, while in the humid Sec
tions 80 to 120 pounds are sown. On
the Pomeroy model farm as many as
SO stacks Of wheat have been counted
coming from one grain of seed.
