Three Acres and a Cow.

The term three acres and a cow"
which was at one time quite promi-
nent in English farm discussions, was
originally suggested as a remedy for
the lack of employment among me-
chanics and laborers. The idea was
that if each workman could secure
possession of a small place, he would
become. in measure. independent
during period of hard times. The
actual suggestion was three and one
quarter acres, the one-fourth acre 10
be devoted to an orchard in which
the cow could Craze occasionally
The rest of the land he desired to de-
vote as follows: Potatoes, one-half
acre; turnips, one-fourth acre; winter
vetch, one-half acre; spring vetch, one
fourth acre; barley, wheat or oats,
three-fourths acre; clover and grass,
three-fourths acre He estimated that
the product of this land would bs
worth about one hundred dollars, and
would keep the occupier above actual
want

WOULD KILL TO END PAIN.
Woman Proposes n Law LeGaIizing the
Giving of Anuesthetics.

living Oi AnueSLnet1Sss
Miss Anne s. Hall of Cincinnati
startled the convention of the Ameri-
can Humane Association in Pniadelphis
by proposing the adoption Of resOIlI-
ton favoring legalizing and administra-
ton of anaesthetics to persons dying in
agony. Miss Hall said that there were
often incidents in time of railway wrecks
when trainmen and passengers We're so
badly injured that their lives could not
possibly be saved In such cases Miss
Hall thought it ought to be permissi-
bic to administer anaesthetics TO relieve
their suferings. She also favored the
use of anaesthetics when persons were
dying of incurable diseases in which they
suffered agony.
In the discussion one woman said that
she would not hesitate to shoot person
who might be dying in agony in a rail-
road wreck. The resolution was ruled
out.

GarIic-Tainted Milk.

A dairyman states that he was trou-
bled with the smell of garlic or wild
onions in the milk from his cows. To
obviate this he put the cows in the
stable about three o'clock each after
noon, and fed them on hay, giving
them their grain as usual The result
was all that ne anticipated. A rest of
three hours allowed the odor to pass
off in the other secretions, though
previously it very strongly favored
both the milk and butter The same
course would probably be of advant-
age when the milk has the odor of
other weeds in the pasture

Crops that Pay Best.

Small crops can be made to COM
bine many advantages. Some poultry
men grow plums in the poultry yards
and also keep bees. Others grow
early vegetables under glass and also
grow two or three crops in the open
ground. One gardener near Philadel-
phia makes a large profit on four
acres, on which he grows only lima
beans. Another makes peas a special
ty, following the peas with late cab
bage. To attempt to farm" four
acres in the usual way, with wheat,
corn, oats, etc, would cause bank.
ruptcy The crops that pay best are
those that require the most hand la
Dor.

Tainted Money aud Restitution.

If the life insurance companies. the
trusts and protected monopolies had
not contributed their millions to the
Republican campaign funds of 1896,
1900 and 1904, it is almost certain that
the result, at least in 1896. would have
been Democratic victory and as
that would have changed the whole
tide of political affairs, it is unneces-
sary to surmIse upon the effect of
those vast contributions In other
years.
Honest folks are often defrauded
and there is seldom restitution made
by the thief, but punishment usually
follows. But now we have proof OF
corruption and that she Republican
party has been the receiver of money
stolen from widows and orphans there

Indiana Physician Says They Do N

More Harm than Coffee.
The feature of Wednesdays session
of the annual convention of the AIissis-
sippi Valley Medical Association at In
dianapolis was a defense of the cigarette
by DIR. William B. Fletcher, who declar-
ed that years of observation and expert
ment had convinced him that cigarettes
were no more harmful than any other
form of tobacco, tea or coffee.
DIR. Fletcher's treatment of the sub
ject created a mild sensation among the
200 physicians present and during the
discussion which followed several emf
nent members of the profession agreed
with DIR. Fletcher that an unreasonable
prejudice exists against cigarettes, which,
they contended, has been made a 'scape-
goat" in order to cover up some per-
sonal vice Of the smoker.

The Small Farmers suffering.

The report of the commissioner who
has had charge of taking the State
census in Iowa maj aS the eXtraordi-
nary statement that authorities agree
that the loss in population is due to
the enlargement OF farms, being al
most wholly in the rural districts"
AS the decrease of population has
been 30,4S1 almost wholly" of the
farm population there must be either
concentration going on by the well
to do farmers buying out the poorer
ones. or the abandonment of farms by
those who have not been able to make
a living thereon.
Perhaps Secretary Shaw can explain
this loss of population, but those who
have tried to do SO agree, that trust
high prices and railroad unreasonable
rates are the controlling cause, The
poorer farmers, of course are the
first to suffer And yet Secretary Shaw
is advising the farmers in his speeches
to. "SNnd pat" ON the tariff and rail
road rate issue and is to leave the
cabinet next February because he dis
agrees with President Roosevelt on
the2legislation needed to protect the
farmers of Iowa and other States from
the plundering trusts and railroad cor
porations.
The Democrats have foretold that
conditions, such as prevail in Iowa,
would be eventually prevalent every
where if protection to trusts and cor
porations is continued and now. in
spite of good crops and fair prices for
farm products. the official record
proves their contention.

Ohio Republicans in a Hole,

Two spasms of political virtue have
seized the Ohio State Jcurnal-the Re
publican organ of Ohio. May be it is
not virtue that has influenced the
Journal, hue merely the reading and
Interpretation of the hand writing on
the wall and the attempt to eVade the
inevitable. This Republican organ
only a week or two ago boldly attack
ed Senator Dick for declaring the
tariff was the paramount issue of the
Ohio campaign. Now the Journal edi-
torially attacks Senator Foraker for
the declaration in his Bellefontaine
speech against President Roosevelt's
railroad rate legislation program.
"'There are two sides to that question"
says the Journal, land we feel safe
in saying that fiye-sixths of the Re
pubicans of Ohio are on the other
side" The Journal then invites Sena-
tor Foraker to the difficult task Of
winning the voters to the railroad side
of the question.
The Republican voters Of Ohio who
stand with President Roosevelt are
forced logically to vote the Democra-
tic ticket, for victory of the Re
publicans would be a defeat for Presl-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Foraker took
pains to explain that the Republican
platform did not endorse the Presi-
dents program for railroad rate legis-
lation, because it was a Democratic
measure, having been brought forward
years ago and adopted in Democratic
platforms.
Senator Foraker has put his party
in a political hole and it is not unlike
ly he may thus find his political grave
already dug by his own efforts
