been great climatir.changes daring
past geological periods is well known.
but these changes involved such i'm.
meGSc periods ut time that the change
during a single century would not be
perceptible. The only safe foundation
for any plan for the utilization of the
semi-arl0s districts is the assumption
that the climatic conditions during
the twentieth century will be essen
TALLY the same for any given district
as those which prevailed during the
nineteenth century. The only way
that the agricultural frontier can be
pushed westward into the drier por-
tions OF those states crossed by the
Tooth meridian is by the adaptation OF
PLANTS and agricultural methods to.
climatic conditions as they have been,
are, and are likely to remain.
1t has been demonstrated beyond a
question that stock raising can 90 sue
cessfullY carried on in the seml-arid
districts under these conditions. Live
stock should therefore ee the basis Of
any system of agriculture attemped
IN this district. With a herd of cattle,
sheep, goats, or horses sufficient to
insUrea livelihood to the settler and
his family, the farmer can safely IN.
dertake experiments in general agri-
culture on a small scale, in tiles
drier portion of the state: and l am
very confident that in time drought
resistant plants will be introduced or
developed and that cultural methods
will be devised that will immensely
increase the productiveness OF these
districts. But in order to ialse live
stock IN sufficient quantity for the
needs of a family at least a section
OF land is required. A very little fig
uring will convince anyone at all ia
mlliar with the business of stock rails
ing under range conditions, of the
truthO of this statement. 1t is little
short of a crime to encourage anyone
to believe that they can take up IL
quarter section Of land west of the
river and make a living from it by the
methods of general agriculture prac-
ticed! in the more humid districts. One
must have some source of revenue
other than the land itself to tide over
that period of experimentation, adj
justment and development that al
ways occurs IN the opening up of a
new country and experience has prov
ed that live stock is a safe source of
revenue provided n has land enough
to keep a sufficient quantity.
Lean see no force to Mr.. Norvell's
agrument that q quarter section
homestead will bring in a more desir-
able class Of settlers than a section
homestead. On the contrary / believe
that restricting She homestead to a
quarter section has a tendency to
bring IN class Of toolhardy adven-
turers rather than the s'sturdy settler"
SO much desired.
am an enthusiastic advocate of
the small well-titled farm wherever
conditions are favorable to this In
tensive system of agriculture but 1 be-
lieve that mi prosperous family on
each section west Of the river will be
far5better for all concerned than four
discouraged families trying in vain to
overcome insurmountable obstacles.

forefathers did upon the sea, for they
are mere bunglers compared with
them.
The advance of civilization has
made the pirates trade upon the sea
unpopular. This has reduced those
in whom the old spirit still lives to
work in the mines of the island as day
laborers. Just as the naughty old Cas-
lillian used to- Cypress the poor ma
tive West Indian.
That the old spirit still lives in Cuba
was shown most forcibly to Mr.. Ju-
iian Cendoya on Sunday, July 8, when
he was seated at his table with his
family and two cousins enjoying his
evening meal. The party was inter-
rupted by the entrance Of eight armed
men who demanded that Cendoya de-

lean, and is married to an American
lady, who was Miss Julia Lane, of
Brooklyn, N. Y. He is the agent for
the Ward line steamship company,
and is a well-to-do merchant in the
eastern capital of Cuba.
The story of the way the bandits
conducted themselves is best told by
Mr.. Cendoya, who was sufficiently col
lected during the trying interval in
which the bandits guns were pointed
at him and his family to study the
faces of each one with the idea Of be.

Lightning and Cities.

Lightning never kills people in
Cities" said an insurance agent. my
companys statistics show that in
cities there is practically no danger
of death from lightning stroke. Loci,
back and ask yourself If you ever heard
of anyone being killed by lightning on
Broadway, or in front Of the Auditori-
UNI, or on Beacon street, or on Chest
nut street, or on Nicolet avente? No.
1t is in the country or in little villages
that the all-dreaded thunderstorm does
it's deadly work. Why are cities in
this way immune? Some say it is be-
cause they have no trees to attract the
lightning. Some say it is because the
cloud of factory smoke above their
roofs is protection. At any rate, stay
in town this summer if you want to be
safe from thunderstorms."
