A COMPARISON.

A farm which is continually drained
by the production of large crops raised
with reference to supplying the local
or foreign markets becomes in time
like the small town which has just
been visited by the circus. The farm
sends forth its crops without a CORE
spending return of fertility to the soil;
the town parts with its money without
receiving a proDOrtionate impetus and
growth in BUSINESS. In the one case
the object sought is money, which
giSes nothing back to the soil. IN the
otter case the object in view is pleas
ure, which adds nothing to the wealth
of the community. Each year that the
farm loses its crops the soil becomes
that much poorer. Each time that the
town has a circus the people have just
that much less money to spend for 9th
or things

BETTER HARBOR ENTRY
That at Duluth Is Declared Peril
Gus and Engigeers Are Study
ing the Matter.

Superior, Wis, Aug. 24.-Because Of
the agitation started last winter against
the so-called perilous entry at Duluth
government engineers sent to the head
Of the lakes for the purpose of devils
ing better entry to the Superior Du-
luth harbOr have recognized the claim
of those opposed to the Duluth entry
by suspending work on the new con-
crete entry ut Superior.
The Superior entry, when completed
will be identical with the specifications
of the Duluth entry, and the engineers
are said to have decided that inasmuch
as the Dulutht entry is unsafe the Su-
perior entry as now planned would be
an unnecessary duplication of a pre-
vious mistake. Therefore work has
been suspended until changes can be
made in the plans, when work will con-
tinue to completion.

BINS OF SUGAR BARRELS.

An enterprising farmer that We
know of made some good bins to store
grain in from sugar barrels These
barrels were placed upon a firm foun-
dation where they would be secure
and above dampness. After the cracks
We're filed in 50 as to make the bins
mouse proof a heavy, square board
cover was fitted over the whole on
hinges. These bins were a great salts
faction, in that they were clean and
easy to get at, and more could be
added if desired with but little work
Some day when you have an ambitious
fit and get to cleaning up your barn
let this idea take root.

HOGS.

Strange as it may seem, hogs, like
people, are endowed with tempera-
ment. That hog which is always nos
ing and shifting about and alert at the
sound of every approaching footstep
possesses a nervous temperament, and
you want to feed him with special ref
erence to furnishing your bacon sup
ply, while that old fellow over there
in the corner, that never stirs unless
it is to eat, you want to consign to the
pork barrel. He has what is called a
phlegmatic temperament. The reason
for the distinctions made is obvious.
For the bacon you want a streak of
fat and a streak of lean, and you get
that in the first because the fat is all
worked off running around, but the
second snoozes contentedly all the day
long and does nothing but lay on the
fat, which is just what is wanted for
the pork. Perhaps you have noticed
that some hogs lay on more fat than
others and have wondered why

that is not the worst of it. The daugh-

to get something for nothing by pay
ing the freight bills. When this moI
order catalogue business gains such a
foothold in the home that it interferes
with the moral and religious training,

situation Is Pretty Bad"
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press found him personally superin-
tending the arming and supplying Of
the recruits for the rural guards. He
said: 1.-THE situation is pretty bad in
some respects, but / see no reason
why we should not control it and we
certainly shall control the situation.
Able-bodied men are not numerous
among the recruits, who are mostly
callow youths. They are being
equipped and transported with eXcee<-
ing promptness. The rifles are nearly
all Of the older type of Remington.
Although there is little discipline
among such troops their usefulness az
auXiliaries to the regular rural guards
is apparent. The loyalty of the latter
is doubted and in some cases it must
be admitted that there are some rea-
sons for it. But generally the guards
are loyal"

This item is for the small and bright
but sometimes forgetful and careless,
boy in the farm or city home who is
in the habit of using 4 gun. The gist
Of it is that when going through &
fence gun should either be put
through first and laid on the ground
muzzle away, or else held firmly in the
hand in the same position while one is
getting through. The past week fine
little ten-year-oId fellow living within
a few miles Of the writer's home had
the top of his head blown of by at
tempting to crawl through a fence
with n shotgun which he had grasped
by the muzzle and was trailing behind
him. This method of getting through
a fence is dangerous in the extreme
and in SO many cases. as in the one
mentioned, is simply suicidal.

MYoMINe's DEMOCRATIC PAPER

Citizens of Wyoming, regardless Of
party, should welcome the Cheyenne
Leader back into the Democratic fold.
For a dozen years the Democracy of
that state has been unrepresented at
the capital by newspaper. The need
of a free, untrammelled newspaper
there was never greater and could
scarcely be greater than it now is. The
government of the state is in the
clutches of an arrogant, despotic ring
that is just as harsh to independent Re-
publicans-and, If report be true, even
harsher-than it is to Democrats who
are willing to wink at conditions. There
is more than a chance to redeem Wyo-
ming from the band of self-seeking
patriots" who control it, if the citizens
of Wyoming are willing to do a little
thinking. The new Leader should be
a potent factor in the redemption Of the
state.

MO FUSION.

Suggestions that the Democrats of
Utah fuse with one wing of the Re
publican party have cropped out from
time to time, apparently for the pur-
pose of testing Democratic sentiment
1t is hardly necessary to say there will
be no fusion of any kind to which the
Democrats are a party
In the first place, the Democrats
have no use for any faction which
might want to fuse forces with them.
They have preserved their identity and
their principles through all the trou-
blous times that have beset the state,
and they have done this when their
cause seemed almost hopeless. Now,
when the decentralization of their foes
is complete and victory is possible,
they are determined to finish the fight
as they began it, as they have main
tanned it, on principle alone.
In the second place, if the party lead
ers were foolish enough to consider a
proposal for fusion they could not
count on the support of the rank and
file in such a movement. The average
DeUlOCIdL Is an independent
and in Utah he is just little more in
dependent than anywhere else. He is
opposed to the platform of the Repub-
licans, to their system of party man
agement and to their leaders as indi-
vidua1S and politicians. He wants no
alliance with them and he will have
none. To him defeat with honor is bet
ter than success with questionable
methods.
No, there will be no Democratic fu-
sion with anybody or any party this
fall. The Democracy will name a good
ticket, make a plain, straightforward
declaration of principles, state unequi-
vocally it's opposition TO the Republi-
cans and Americans alike, and GO
into battle with a determination to
win. There will be no faltering, nc
slxulking, and the battle will be fought
out on Democratic lines alone.
