politician we do not usually mean such
a man, and when we speak of politics
we do not first think of such work.
But if we mean by politics the trade of
living on the taxpayers and getting rich
at their cost, it is useless to consider
how this occupation can be purified,
for it cannot be purified at all; one
might as well discuss how to purify
policy playing or the green goods bust
ness, bunko-steering or the film fam
game. Politics thus understood can
never be pure, except as being pure
and unadulterated rascality.
Between the good and bad men in
politics there is and should be a war
fare without truce or quarter, for, who.
ever would now do good in any form to
his fellow men, finds the degradation
of our political life hindrance in his
task. If he would protect the public
health, wisely relieve want, train youth,
shelter the unfortunate, suppress vice
or punish crime, he must deal with the
boss, and ring and to do his allotted
work well must sooner or later sweep
them from his path. He cannot, how
ever much he would, let them alone,
for they will not, indeed, they cannot,
let him alone.
ENEMIES OF GOOD
''By the very law of their being they
are the natural enemies of every one
who would lead others to higher
purer and healthier life Men like
them have made their trade so danger
Gus, so odious, so noisome, that against
it every force in our midst that makes
for righteousness must be directed to-
morrow, as it should be to-day.
"Our aim is to spare Americans
shame at the government of their coun-
try; to rescue the noblest work of our
polity from its basest hands; to root out
national vices which threaten to make
us political Sodom among Christian
peoples; he who sees such goal before
him can we'll fight on with calm con-
fidence that any temporary reverse, any
individual apostasy, any seeming in
justice of public opinion, are but in
evitable incidents of so momentous a
struggle, but fitting preludes to so
glorious victory"

One of the most remarkable phe-
nomena in our industrial world, and
one about which comparatively little is
know, is the peonage system practiced
in the south, whereby free negroes,
citizens of the United States, who have
incurred debt to white men, are COM
PEELED to work out" their debts, often
being retained in harsh servitude long
beyond the time represented by the
amount of money they owe. The
abuses of the system have been extern
sive and frightful. Some time ago the
Cosmopolitan commissioned Herbert d.
Ward, the well-known writer, to in
vestigate the whole subject of peonage.
His Investigations are incorporated in
an article in the August issue. It's
reading is earnestly recommended to
every one interested in the welfare of
the nation.

tor the inventor to devise anything
that would add to its convenience.
Here, however, is a c~ontrivance for
preventing papers blowing from the
window, a most a%ggravating annoy
ance in a high building, where
draughts are plentiful. The invention
consists Of any suitable number Of
lazy tongs, which are secured to the
lower part Of the sash and to the sill
Of the window frame by strips. The
lazy tongs are pivoted to a number
Of horizontal guide bars, the ends of
the bars engaging with upright
groved guides in the window frame,
the whole forming a guard sufficient
to screen the opening between the sill
and the lower rail Of the sash when
the latter is raised, to prevent bills,
checks and other papers upon the desk
of an Office from blowing out of the
window. Abner Johnston, Of Long
Island City, is the patentee.

OF HORSES.

AT the season of the year when
most farm horses have rather an easy
time of life, there is likely to be more
or less liver and kidney trouble
among them, due, to some extent, TO
the liberal feeding and the inactive
life. Oftentimes these troubles de-
velop in an attack of acute indiges-
ton, frequently mistaken for collie.
The first thing to do with a horse that
is not eating well is to give a dose
of nux vomica three times daily un-
til it RECEIVERS its appetite.
The dose is twenty drops Of the
tincture given on the tongue just be-
fore eating. The oats given the ami
NAL should be ground, and in the
grain given in the morning should be
placed a half ounce of powdered nj
trate of potash. Then prepare the
following general condition powder,
which acts well on both kidneys and
liver, and give the animal a heaping
tablespoonful once a day, preferably
at noon. In two pounds of ground
iaxseed, mix four ounces of powdered
gentian, five ounces or ginger, three
ounces of powdered sulphate of iron
and two ounces of powdered charcoal.
See that all the ingredients are mixed
thoroughly. This powder will tone
up the system of the horse generally

less time and labor. A very simple
agricultural implement is shown here,
the invention of a Wisconsin farmer.
1t is designed for topping and pulling
beets, and by its use the beets can be
easily and quickly removed from the
ground. One portion of the contriv-
ance is made of a long handle, with
M end pointed and shaped to fit
around the beet. Pivotally attached
to this is another handle, provided
with a fork at its lower end. The
stationary handle is first inserted into
the ground around the beet, and by
operating the pivoted handle the 9TH
er fork is brought against the beet
and the latter pulled from the
ground. 1t is not necessary to stoop
and dig the beet up by the hand, the
operation at all times being done
while standing up.
Ebon o. Cady, of Auburndale, Wis,
is the patentee.

COTTON IN DUTCH COLONIES

Government to Cooperate with Citi-

In the Netherlan ds a committee has
been formed for the promotion of the
culture Of cotton in the Dutch colonies,
according to a report from United
States Consul Pitcairn. The Dutch
government is reported to have prom
ised its support and assistance. A re-
port recently published by the commit
tee had annexed to it as exhibits copies
Of letters from Surinam containing in
formation on the result Of culture, by
way of experiment, of sea island and
upland cotton. Samples accompanying
such letters furnished proof of the
possibility Of successful culture.
Experiments in the culture Of cotton
have been made on the island Of Java
also, two different species having been
planted, of which one is domestic and
the other was imported from the Unit
ed States In 1851. The latter is said
to have a longer staple than the for
mer. The exports Of cotton from the
Dutch East Indies in the year 1902
amounted to $500 tons, Of which al
most one-half was Of Javanese growth.

The invention shown In the illus

the methods used by our f~orefathers.
This device, for heating or cooling
beds, is taken from the old custom Of
placing bottles OF other receptacles
containing hot water in the bottom Of
the bed, and sometimes under the pill
lows. In those days steam heat or
furnaces were unknown, and the only
rooms which were kept warm were
the kitchen and the reception room,

SHEEP OR COWS.

When n has to run his farm with
little efficient help. especially during
haying, harvest and stacking seasons,
ne is not slow in approaching the
dfnerence between his COWS and
sheep. During those times his sheep
are taking ARE of themselves, leaving
him all his time to devote to other
work, while his COWS require his at
tention for a couple of hours morning
and evening. Sundays and rainy days
are just the same. ircsr one has
stacked grain for ten or twerve hours,
MIXED ten to thirty COWS, separated
the milk, fed calves and done Other
small chores he is pretty near ready
to go to bed.
There is not one in ten of the tram
sients that come out to the Dakotas
to harvest, who can or will milk, n
most of them are not fit to do it. We
keep thirty cows, worth, say $1,000
which bring in about $1,000 a year.
1t takes one mans time the year
round to take care of and provide for
them. 1t takes five tons of hay, or
its equivalent, to feed them; then
the pasture and cost of burning Tor
cows are about equal to those for
sneep.
Five tons of hay for each of fifty
cows at So per ton amounts to $45O.
One extra a for a year, and boaru,
costs at least $3.50 more. We have
only 800 left for pasture, money IN
vested in cows, utensils, such as sep
arator, cans, etc.
With $1,000 invested in good, fair
grade ewes we can get 500. 1t will
take the same amount of feed to keep
them as the cows, but it does not
take the same amount of costly feed.
But suppose we use the same, We can
save the help of one man, which
amounts t o tbs $3.50. Now wat can
We get from 800 YES Three hun
dred dollars for WOOL, and we can
raise 800 lambs that are worth in the
fall $3.50. Now l can hear some say
their COWS pay them much more than
that, which is true, but you must also
see that 800 ewes also often bring
double the amount. We know OF
whole focks whose fleece brought
two dollars each this years and whose
lambs, February lambs, will bring
nearly So each now, but We have used
comparative figures. You will prob
ably ask. Shall l sell my cowes and
buy sheep?" We would, most of them
but people are getti=s 70 know thai
a flock Of good ewes are profitable,
and it is hard to get u good flock at
once in one place.
We are not writing this to tempt
any n to sell of a good paying
bunch of cows, but under ordinary
conditions, where help IS scarce and
high, and one has to depend on it,
the sheep are certainly the most prof
table. Most farmers could keep a
couple Of sheep for each COW on what
the cows will not eat.-N. W. Agricul-

FARM

Animal manures are most economi
cally used when applied to the soil as
fast as collected.
Too many buy too much land and
have to pay interest and taxes OF
what does not produce much.
Taking care of the tools and imple-
ments is n of the best methods of
economizing on the farm.
Give house plants as much light as
possible during the day, and darkness
with a low temperature at night.
Usually it is safer to rely on an
animal with a good pedigree than to
expect merit in an animal of unknown
breeding.
The animal heat must be provided
by feeding the stock literally, but the
greater the exposure, the greater the
loss Of animal heat.
The feed is an important factor in
stock raising. The breed adapted to
the object sought will give better re-
suits and at a lower cost proportion
ately.
If the food is diminished and ami
mails become poor. the amount of food
required to get them in good condi-
ton viii be greater than the amount
Of food saved.
During the cold weather, especially,
bran al be made a part of the ra-
lions Of all classes Of live stock, but
the best results are secured when
fed in connection with other grain.
Manure may fail to give good re-
suits the first year and show well the
next. Much depends upon the condi-
lions of the material. 1t can not az
ford food to plants until it becomes
soluble.
Usually when many want to sell Is
a good time to buy, and when many
want to buy is a good time to sell,
for many sellers make low prices, fol-
lowed in due season by small supply
and good prices, and many buyers
make good prices, followed in due
season by large supply and low
| prices.
ALI young animals to be profitable
should be kept growing from their
birth until matured, as it takes a GER
tain amount of food to sustain life.
and when an animal is kept In a con.
dition in which it is making no gain
ell of that feed it consumes in rhal
condition is lost 1t is the amount
Of food consumed over and above
what it takes to sustain life that ia
to the owner a clear profit.

HENS OR BRooDERs-

To raise chicks in brooders one
must be in constant attendance on
the work 1t is true that the hen
needs no watching when she raises
only a few; but when n wishes hun
dreds, it can work. Sitting hens
sometimes may be fooled into taking
chicks if they are first slipped under
them at night. A capon will natur-
ally take the chicks If he is confined
In q room with a lot, and a capon yer
six months old will answer All ca
pons are not alike, however, and
some Of them may not be as willing
as others. But there is a point in
the way. A hen cannot raise chicks
In winter unless she is given as much
attention as a brooder, because she
cannot keep the chicks warm enough
They will die on one by one. Hens
are successful only in mild weauner,
hence the winter raising Of chicks
must be done wiz s-syoders. 1t re-
quires forty heas care for four
hundred chicks, and it Will take
three times as much work as the
brooders for that many. Hens may
lose one-haH or more of the chicks
from cold, as the chicks you'd die II
they did not stay under the hens all
the time. Hens cannot ccmpete with
brooders in winter.-Mirror and Far
