BEAUTIFUL CLARA PITT, WHO NEVER WORRIES.

anywhere else that l know of in Am erica. Companies are being organiz- cd to import Italians, Spanish, Japan csc and Chinese to fill the demand for laborers. These Japanese and other foreign iaborers are imported by con tractors who guard their interests with iron-clad contracts. The contractors all specify better wages and better treatment than the native Mexicans ordinarily receive.
 The result is that the Mexicans will not stand by without demanding better wages and better treatment, which they will surely receive. The conse- quence will be that the Mexican will live better, render better service and will gradually become educated, and the squalor and poverty of the Mexi- can laboring classes will gradually dis appear, and there will be something better in the way of citizenship in that country with which to perpetuate the republic. Not the least among the benefits that will accrue 10 the country will be increase in trade and manufacture, and consequent increase in wealth, which will result i'll in creased wants of the laboring man, and his greater ability to supply them, as his wages gradually increase. As said before, the movement. for the betterment of the laborin5 classes in the way of higher wages and better treatment is the most hopeful sign of the present day in this republic.
 T enclose you copies O. reports of telcsrams from all the American con- suls, which are sufficient in themsel- rcs 10 prove the utter absurdity and falsehood of the reports in certain newspapers regarding an anti fore. .sn uorising in Mexico.

A BROAD GAUGE FARMER.

The past week we noted a case of
progressive and broad gauge farmer
who took the bull by the horns, figur-
atively speaking, hired man from
town to do his chores and took his wife
and children and spent the week at the
state fair. We are mistaken if the
man himself did not have fine time;
If the faithful and Woodworking wife
and mother did not get much needed
rest and store up impressions that will
help to tighten the labors and worry of
many future days. and we miss it if
those boys and girls did not have the
time of their lives and see sights in the
shape of prize winning stock and won
derful labor saving machinery that will
tend to make them the more content to
remain on the farm. This is a treat
that farmer owes TO himself and the
members of his family, and we believe
ii is fair to say that the agricultural
inspiration which they will get from
such an outing along the line of i'm
proved methods, better grain and finer
stock will IN the mere matter of dol
lars and cents alone more than offset
the expenses of the trip.

ADULTERATED ALFALFA SEED.

Following out the instructions of a
recent act of congress making apprO-
priations for the department of agri-
culture. the chief of the bureau Of
plant industry has this season made a
collection of 3d. samples of alfalfa
seed as offered for sale in the open
market and subjected them to care
full examination with view to ascer-
tanning the extent to which the seed
was adulterated. Out of the number of
samples mentioned it was found that
100, or nearly half, contained seed of
the destructive parasitic plant dodder;
nine samples were found to contain
seed of the yellow trefoil, while nine
samples were adulterated with bur clo-
yer. The trefol seed is imported from
Europe and costs about 3 cents per
pound, being used extensively as an
adulterant of clover and alfalfa seed
The bur clover is byproduct secured

Nooi anu 10 iIhpol tcu lioiu pci many III
low grade alfalfa seed. Following a
statement of the kinds of adulterants
found in the samples tested were given
the names and addresses of the guilty
firms. The percentage of adulterants
found varied from 7.S7 per cent to
53.2S per cent In view of the expo
sure made in this government report,
it is worth while repeating in these
notes a suggestion, made some weeks
ago, that in cases where one wishes to
buy seed and cannot secure it of firm
which from previous acquaintance he
knows is absolutely reliable it is far
safer and more satisfactory to pur-
chase only on the recommendation of
the United States department of agri
culture or on that of his own state eX-
pertinent station. While they may not
recommend any special firm, they will
at least furnish you list of firms who
are doing an honest business and from
whom it would be safe for you to pur-
chase such seed as you may need.
There is no phase of work connected
with farming operations that should re-
ceive more careful attention than that
involved in the selection Of grass seed.
Carelessness or righteousness in the
matter of buying is usually fraught
with disastrous consequences.

KING COTTON.

In much the same way that corn &C.
cupies the most important place as the
great staple crop in the northern states
cotton holds sway in the south. 1t is
interesting to note in this connection
that the export record of the United
States for the fiscal year just ended
shows that the value of cotton in raw
and finished form exported from this
country during the last year exceeded
$400,0O0.00O, surpas sing by far the
value of any other article of merchan-
disc sent out of the country. The eX-
ports of breadstuffs of all kinds aggre-
gated only S1S6000,000, of provisions
manufactures only 6l.000,O00. The
increase in cotton exports has been
very marked during the past five years,
amounting to 33 per cent or over $780,
100000. AS purchaser of raw cotton
the United Kingdom leads with $177,-
100000 worth, Germany takes $101,-
100000 and France $45,O00000, while
in the matter of manufactured cotton
products China is our best patron, TAX
ing $30,000.000 worth out of total of
f53,000,000. The showing made is a
fine one and bespeaks the remarkable
era of prosperity which the south is
enjoying.

RIG CLOVER YIELD.

One of the best clover reports that
we have come across in many day
was given us last week by good old
friend, substantial German farmer,
who lives but short distance from
the writer's home. A nine acre
meadow yielded thirty-five loads at the
first cutting in the latter part Of June,
and thirty-two loads at the second cut
ting, which was made the last week in
August. Our friend estimates the
yield conservatively at five tons per
acre for the season. One of the best
things about report of this kind is
that no matter how big a crop of
clover is taken from the land, the fer
tility of the soil is increased and not
depleted. Neither this man nor his
neighbors will need to be labored with
to get them to see the advantage of
the clover meadow habit.

special fund for carrying on this
school, the sessions of which are large

from the different counties of the state.
Practical experiments are made In the
matter of highway construction, the
use of up to date road drags and grad
ers and in cement culvert and bridge
building. The instructors are experts
who understand their business, and as
result practical benefit Is derived
from the school which they hold.

NEW CORN AND HOG CHOLERA.


While there are many exceptions to
the rule and many freaks of the dis
ease which cannot be accounted for on
any rational basis, the beginning of
hog cholera epidemics seems to be more
or less closely associated with the ex-
cessive feeding of soft and immature
corn to the hogs during September, Oc-
tober and November. 1t is now agreed
by those best posted on the matter that
if the hogs are given a wide range on
some fall feed and given but scant IA
tons Of corn until it becomes dry and
hard much of the loss which results
from this plague can be averted. In
a sense this stuffing with new corn is
but part of system of feeding which
aims to get the pigs into the market
before they have mature bone or
muscle in their bodies. 1t is clearly a
case in which if there were less haste
there would be less waste.
