Avoid Price Chasing.

Somewhat akin to the get-rich
quick microbe is that Of price-chasing.
The price of some particular crop or
class of live stock has been high for a
year or more, and the farmer who has
the price-chasing microbe well de-
veloped concludes that he will get
rich very quickly by increasing his
acreage of that particular crop or the
number Of animals Of that particular
class of live stock. Some times a
whole community, county, or state
becomes infected with this microbe,
which in almost every case results in
the farmer getting poor fast instead
of getting rich quick.
We remember one year so long ago
that we cannot fix the date accurate
ly when the farmers of northwestern
Iowa had very large crop of spring
wheat, and received therefor very
large price. They saw visions and
dreamed dreams Of untold wealth,
and went largely into wheat the next
year, which as might have been ex-
pected, proved to a great extent a
failure. The result was the serious
embarrassment of this class of farm
ers.
When corn has been very high in
price for year or two and has made
the farmers good money they con-
clude they must plow up their blue
grass and other sod and make one
more strike for a hatful of money.
When hogs have brought high
prices for two or three years the farm
er who has kept ten brood sows con-
cludes he must keep twenty, and the
farmer who has kept twenty with pro-
fit concludes that he must keep fifty.
When horses are high, as they are
now, the farmer who has been making
good money by breeding the number
of mares necessary to operate his
farm concludes that he must buy a
few more and make still more money.
We regard all this as not merely
bad business, but bad farming. While
it may be advisable to lean little
more heavily to one crop than TO
others under certain conditions, the
most money will be made from year
to year by adopting a rotation suit
able to the farm and then growing
about the same acreage Of grain and
about the same number of live stock
year after year without reference to
prices.
For example, farmers have been
making good money on hogs for the
last two or three years, and are max
ing good money now; but that is no
reason why the farmer who has aimed
to grow from sixty to one hundred
pigs this year should strive to grow
from a hundred and twenty-five to
two hundred next year. We have
found In our own experience that one
hundred hogs are about all that can
be kept profitably around one set of
farm buildings; and when we have
attempted to grow more we have had
larger expense and not much more in
come, and certainly less net income
than when we strictly limited our
selves to one hundred. When we can
make plenty of money in keeping one
hundred sheep on the farm and have
allowed ourselves to be persuaded by
the tenants to keep three hundred,
we found that we never make as
much net profit on the three hun
ldred as we did on the hundred. Be

work was necessary and where the
machine is powerless with even Doodle
and pledges, and some of these coun-
ties are practically solid against t he
tax robbers. This spirit of hostility
to the machine Is found everywhere,
and you don't have to hunt for it
either. If you find a machine man
you find a man hunting for office, or
a man with pass or the promise of
one, or man who has been given a
commission to name the machine
strikers in his county, or state en-
ployees or men living on state patron
age, these are the fellows who are
out shouting for the machine.
They are not so very numerous
but they make lots of noise. One of
this class of shouters wanted to bet
SlOO the other day with Charlie
Tidrick of Cham berlain, that the in
surgents wouldn't carry a certain
county. Charlie went after the
Aberdeen man but he hunked out
like a whipped cur. This is the way
the machine is carrying counties.
Let no man be deceived on machine
claims. The machine is beaten and
has been beaten for a month past.
The people are up in arms everywhere
and are just as determined to wipe
out corporation control in this state
as they were in Wisconsin under the
splendid leadership of Gov. LaFollet-
te.
All that is required to make the
victory sweeping and final is for every
reformer to get out to the caucuses

CARE or THE SKIN.
Some Things That Are Essential to
Good Health.

70 most persons the skin repre-
scnts simply the organ of touch, and
because it is customary to keep
nearly all of its surface concealed
its relation: to The welfare OF the
body is overlooked. It has, how
ever, most important functions,
such as the casting out of waste
matter and the maintenance of al
even body temperature, disregard
of which may lead to serious dis
turbances of health.
But aside from its purely physio-
logical purposes the skin is an i'm
portant influence for or against per-
sonal appearance, and its pr per
care is therefore worthy Of consid-
Grafton from this point of view
alone.
Cleanliness is the greatest es-
sential in the care of the skin. For
the cleansing bath water Us hot as
can be borne is best, and a good
soap should be freely applied. with
moderately stiff bath brush. If
the water is at an hard it is well to
soften it by the addition of lit
tie ammonia or borax. A quick
sSvnging of the entire body with
cold water should follow in order
to cause the pores relaxed by the
heat to contract, and the drying
should be accomplished by brisk
rubbing with coarse towel.
Although the habitual use of hot
WAGER on the face is sometimes con-
demned on the ground that it tends
to favor the relaxation of the skin
and produce wrinkles, there is no
danger of this if the washing be
concluded with cold water.
The sponge is a thing to be avoid.
ed, as it is difficult to keep clean
and forms a beautiful lurking place
for germs. One washcloth should
be kept for. the face alone, and this
should be boiled frequently.
At night it is good plan to rub
little pure cold cream into the
skin Of the face and then wipe it off
with q piece of soft linen. 1t is
surprising how black the latter will
appear when the operation is finish
ed. Cold cream and talcum powder
and some of the cosmetics are safe
and useful, but other cosmetics do
more harm than good. =:
The development Of wrinkles can
be retarded, and if present they
may be lessened by gentle massage
with the finger tips 'anointed with
cold cream. A good general rule is
to LET the direction Of the rubbing
be upward and outward. -.
+: Above all. it should be remember
ed that cleanliness, exercise, fresh
air, simple food and attention to the
digestion IRE the most important
considerations in the care of the
