The best fields Of corn which we have
seen this year are growing on the tile
drained and heretofore almost worth
less acres Of the west 1t promises u
crop Of seventy to eighty bushels to
the acre. 1t Will pay far better to
drain your wet acres than to buy more
land. One can afford to pay 10 per
cent for the use Of money If need be
to do this work, and there is hardly a
farm In the country where more or
less tile drain cannot be put in as the
best investment which can be made on
the farm.

The plane of wages and living is at
a high level In this country, higher by
far than in any other country, and In
these two things we are living entirely
apart and distinct from all the rest
of the world. The common, unskilled
laborer, the digger of dirt, gets S1.75
to 50 for eight hours work, the farm
hand an equivalent of $40 per month,
the railway brakeman S75, the engineer
$3.50. The most poorly paid labor Is
that of the schoolteacher and the par
son, and we have come to the time
when the constructive trades and pro-
fessions have in the matter of compen-
sation run entirely away from the in
tellectual. This grade of wage and liv-
ing which the people of this country
enjoy will require no little care to
maintain and may easily be upset by
unwise legislation.

The modern refrigerating system has
wonderfully simplified the handling Of
all perishabie products. 1t has prob
ably done more than any other one
thing to give an added value to meats,
butter, eggs and fruits and to secure
uniformity Of price and supply. 1t
has done more than this. 1t has
given an added value to millions
of acres Of land upon which such
perfshable products can now be raised.
Eggs, for instance, which only a
few years ago glutted the April, May
and June markets and which were al
most unsuitable, are now most eagerly
sought by the cold storage men at a
price which is very profitable TO the
producer, thereby making the poultry
business a most profitable one for all
the people. While cold storage and its
ally, the refrigerator car, have made II
possible to fasten upon the American
people nm arbitrary and burdensome
neat trust, II SOL at the same time
sSyy 30 greatly eniarseh the market for
YSAothsr perishable products that we
lSSlSfar better endure the exact1ons Of
ef trust than dispense with the
rage system.

Skim milk Is one Of the most valu-
able products Of any farm. 1t is rich
In protein content and the one thing
which is needed by all the young things
on the farm to make them grow lusty
and strong. 1t never should be fed
to matured animals If there are any
young things-calves, pigs and colts
to feed 1t to. 1t is especially good food
for laying hens and young chicks, and
the ability to have plenty of skim milk
on the farm is one of the Qualifications
for keeping dairy Of cows.

England pays to Denmark SAG, OOO, 600
a year for the one item of butter, and
the queer thing is that while we can
sell the Danes good share Of the
dairy rations used in the manufacture
Of this butter we are still unable to
sell the Englishman the butter. Per-
haps the time will come when we will
adopt the same rigid system Of inspec-
ton and manufacture employed by the
Danes and as carefully study the tastes
and notions of the English people as
closely as they do, but It Is not here
yet.

It is pretty well settled that the
progeny Of dairy herds will not make
beef at profit. It may be done in a
few exceptional cases with the progeny
of extra good mixers in the Shorthorn
and Red Polled breeds, but very rarely
indeed with that Of any of the so called
dairy breeds. And It will be found
that the better the dairy herd the more
worthless the calves will prove as feed
ers. The beef business and the butter
business run in exactly opposite direc-
tons, always have and always will.
In the one case the food goes into flesh
and fat on the ribs; in the other into
milk in the udder. Some beef bred
cows will pay to milk, but their dairy
performance is always secondary.

Probably no phase OF cooperative
work among farmers has proved more
successful than has the insurance bust
ness. Almost without exception the
county mutual insurance company,
combining its risks to farm property
wherever found, is an entire success,
affording reliable class Of Insurance
at very low cost. The cooperative
idea has also worked well with cream
cries and cheese factories and to some
extent with grain buying and grain
shipping concerns. The idea has not
met with the same measure of success
when applied to merchandising.

vided peace comes quickly.
Joined with Mr.. Morgan in this great
move to end the war are said to be the
Rothschilds who are the banking kings of
Europe. The plan Of the financers is to
make 1t easy for Russia to declare peace.
but to render it impossible to continue the
war.
The amazing advance this week in the
price Of many railroad stocks In which Mr.
Morgan and his friends are most heavily in
terested Is declared by bankers to be the
direct sequel of this great enterprise for
stopping hostlities. Morgan knows there
will be peace, therefore Morgan buys stocks
That Is the argument Of the financial COM
munity.
The reasons why Mr.. Morgan should de-
sire not only peace. but at the same time
to please Russia are obvious Heretofore
America has not bought any Of the Russian
war bonds, while it has purchased about
1SO.oOO.OoO Of Japanese war bonds. Sym
pathy has been largely with Japan.
But when peace comes. Russia will be In
a position to bestow a vast deal OF trade
upon America IL 1t desires to do So There
will be war ships to build railroads and
bridges to construct. Mr.. Morgan and his
United States Steel friends are eager to be
on friendly terms with Russia TO ger q share
of this business.
No one doubts that American investors
would buy 500 .O0C. 900 or more of Russian
bonds provided peace came speedily All Sc
curities are now dear that a government
bond such as these would be looks cheap

BURNED AT THE STAKE
TEXAN MOB HORRIFIED AT DY.
ING MANS AGONY.

At Sulphur Springs. the county seat Of
Hopkins county. Texas, leo miles northeast
OF Dallas, Tom Williams, a negro Thursday
night assaulted a seventeen-year-old white
GIRL Nettfe Griggs. Four hours later he
was burned at the stake in the Court
House square. as briefly reported in The
Star yesterday.
Miss Grtggs was badly injured. Her
screams aroused residents near the scene
The negro fed. pursued by many men. He
was captured by City Marshal Hall two
miles east of Sulphur Springs. hurrying
along the tracks Of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad.
The negro was placed under a guard of
deputy sheriffs and hurried to the home
Of Miss Griggs. When Williams was
brought before her she exclaimed: Take
him away and burn him.
The officers rushed the negro awav from
the house in the direction of the town fol-
lowed by a mob. Three attempts were
made by the mob to get the negro from
the deputies before they were successful
First Wounded by Pistol Shot.
AT the edge of the city the deputies were
overpoWered and the negro was driven to
the Court House square in a buggy. AS he
was being taken out of the buggy a specta-
tor in the crowd fired shot from a pistol
at the negro. the bullet taking effect In
his leg. Sam Wellbaum. a citizen, who at
tempted to prevent the spectator from u.s.
ing his revolver. was shot in the right
hand.
Lifelong citizens of Sulphur Springs
men who are prominent in business and So
cial circles-were leaders of the mob. They
made no attempt to disguise themselves
Burn him." was a cry that was started
and echoed by hundreds of voices. There
were a few who favored hanging, but no
attention was paid to them.
Williams. it is alleged, confessed but
begged loudly for mercy. This he kept up
continually until the fire licked up around
him, and his pleas gave way to frantic
screams.
Dry goods boxes were broken I'D for fuel
and heap a yard high in the form Of a
circle was piled about him. Oil was poured
upon the pile. 1t ten minutes from
the starting Of the blaze before the negro
began to burn. Piercing scream after
scream ensued for five minutes and his
features were convulsed In agony His
death was horrible that many ran ter
ror-stricken, from the scene.
The body was only partially burned and
was taken down two hours after the
tragedy by the coroner, whose verdict was:
Death by mob violence"
Tom Williams was about thirty-five years
old. He was known as the gingercake type
of negro. He had been around Sulphur
Springs for the last two or three years do
ing odd Jobs.
1t Is estimated that there were 2.GOO men
who witnessed the burning. The town was
keenly excited for a time.

FELL BELOW EXPECTATIONS.
Test of the Isham Dynamite Shell at
Sandy Hook.

The Isham dynamite shell was tested at
the Sandy Hook proving grounds Thursday
and failed in an effort to smash a plate Of
k2-inch Kruppized armor designed for the
batteshp Connecticut.
The inventor, Willard S. Isham of YER
mont had worked for two and half years
on the test despite the opposition of ord
nance officers. He claimed the shell was
able to destroy a battleship by conclusion,
even If it exploded fifty feet away from the
ship. The shell forced a cavity of two feet
square in the plate, which was otherwise
not damaged. The ordnance officers de-
clared an ordinary projectile would have
done much more damage.
12-inch coast defense rifle was used
the firing weapon and the target was a
Krupp plate, IS feet in length ~ feet
deep and 11la inches thick. Boted to the
steel plate was a bulkhead of oak and iron
cellular representation of the interior of a
battleship being feet IN inches thick,
showing the bulkheads, cofferdam. frames
and deck plates as in a warshin. Back Of
this again pit filled with thousands
of tons of sand. The target cost $4,000.
The test was made in the presence of the
inventor and dozen well-known ordnance
officers. The shell was loaded with 177%
pounds OF dynamite. composed of so per
cent pure nitroglycerne, per cent guncot-
ton and 2 per cent campho-. A s nall charge
OF 50 pounds 10 ounces of smokeless pow
der with pounds OF powder as an igniter.
was used to give the shell muzzie veloc-
velocity of 400 feet second. Tie shell
hit the plate full in the middle and ex-
ploded with one of the loudest reports ever
heard at gun test at Sandy Hook.
