THE VIEW of THE CoNsrmEn

THE VIEW OF THE CONSUMER.
There Is a general and growing de.
mand on the part of the farmers Of
the country in favor of such reciproci-
ty legislation by congress as will tend
to enlarge the foreign markets for the
agricultural products Of this country.
There is side to this question which
is not often presented, and that is the
rights and interests Of the nonprodu-
GERS and consumers Of this country who
relatively greatly outnumber the farm-
ers, there being 100000 of the for
mer and but 100000 Of the latter.
The bread and butter question Of TO-
100000 wage earners is very closely
connected with the prices Of farm
products. More extended foreign mar
kets would certainly have the tenden-
cy to increase the price Of those farm
products which constitute not SO much
the luxuries as the necessities Of COM
mon living In this country. At the
time this is written the wage earners
are paying in most OF our cities S1.4o
Ior nIty pound sack of flour, 3 cents
a pound for cornmeal, cents for oatl
meal, cents a quart for milk, %
cents pound for butter. 80 cents a
dozen for eggs, 81 a bushel for pota1
toes, $3.50 bushei for apples, 10 cents
pounds for steak, u cents pound
for chickens and similar prices for all
other meats. The consumer and wage
Garner OF today has to figure close to
make his income cover the necessarF
expenses OF living and feels that this
burden should not be increased in the
interests of the farmer who produces
the necessities Of life For this req
son wage earners are not viewing the
reciprocity proposition with any de,
gree Of favor, and we do not blame
them.

AS l rode up to the inn door an old

After picketing my horse behind the
inn-I could find no better stable. every
place being full pushed my way
through the group at the door and en-
tered. The old room, with the low
grimy roof and the reeking floor, was
half full Of strange figures, and for a
few minutes stood unseen in the
smoke and confusion. Then the land
lord came my way, and as he passed
me caught his eye. He uttered a low
curse, dropped the pitcher he was car
rying, and stood glaring at me, like a
man possessed.
The soldier whose wine he was car
rying flung crust in his face, with,
"Now, greasy fingers! What are you
staring at?"'
1.-The devil!" the landlord muttered,
beginning to tremble.
''Then let me look at him!" the man
retorted and he turned on his stool.
He started, finding me standing over
him. CAT your service" I said grimly.

these oats are yielding fifteen bushels

THE WOOD FIRE.

There Is no fire like a wood IRE,
Neither gas, coke nor coal furnishes a,

as wood. They are all allied with the
generation Of pestiferous gases and
noxious odors, while the burning wood
has fragrance all Its own and sue,

reflected the summer sunshine OF a
hundred years, the budding and leafina

OF delightful sentiment, which coal
stove, with its gas and bad smell, can
never command. Then when one comes
to cooking only wood fire will ever

delightful flavor SO palatable to ALL
Forced as we are now to use coal for
all domestic purposes, we look back
with regret to the early days when our

OF the country and piled the wood In
heaps to burn it to get rid of it. Here1

inexcusable economic wastes Of the

end the government can we'll afford I'd

BARREN STALKS OF conx.

Il
There are two causes for the many
barren stalks found In the cornf,eld.
One Is the planting Of seed Of such low,
vitality that it is unable TO do more
than send up stalk and produce q
tassel. Another and a more prolific
cause for the barren stalk may be-
FOUND In the lack Of avaiiable plant
food, three stalks and sometimes four
being competitors for an amount oil
plant food which 10 only eqHaa to the
production Of one good stalk and one
good ear. This emphasizes the fact
that much of our corn planted ON DOOR
ground is planted boo thickty. 1t Id
easy to understand that these barren
stalks, carefully cultivated and cared
for, become in this manner the very
worst weeds that there are In the corn4
field, robbing the one stalk OF moisture,
fertility and sunshine. We are aware
that these barren STALKS, which some
times amount to as much as 20 per
cent of the stand of corn In the field.
have been hitherto charged up 10 de.
fective and weak seed, but the more
we examine this question the more We
are convinced that It is not SO much
question Of poor seed as a lack OF
available plant food. This Is true: If
a field planted to corn Is badly run
down it will produce more bushels OF
corn If but one stalk Is planted In
each hill than II three are allowed to-
grow.

The dried blood, a byproduct Of the

There is not the least doubt that in

be quit domestic and economic prob

The cheapest and most practical
method for improving many of the
highways Of the country is to tile drain
the roadbed, putting a line Of four
inch tile about twenty inches outside
Of each wheel track. Where sufficient
fall can be obtained this plan and the
use Of the road drag will result in Civ
Ing almost perfect dirt road at any
season Of the year. The great thing in
road building Is first to get rid Of the
water-the water which falls on the
surface of the road and, not less, the
water which is held in suspension by
the subsoil. The use Of the drag will
take care Of the surface water by
keeping the road well crowned and
free from ruts, while the draintle will
remove the subsoil water and give the
road firm and waterproof founda-
ton. 1t is surprising what can be ac-
complished by the use of draintile In
the manner indicated.

The most satisfactory method of leas-
ing farms is where owner and tenant
are working partners when the lease
is for term Of years, five or more, and
where the landlord stocks the farm
with well bred animals Of all kinds.
Given good tenant and a sensible
landlord, both prosper under such condi-
tons. No plan Is SO altogether bad as
to rent land from year to year for ten
ants to skin. This plan is death to
land, without profit to either party.

to be good preventive for the loss Of
