The Fight For the Forests.

Stewart Edward White is to publish
an article in the January American
Magazine on "The Fight for the For
ests." On one side, he says, is the de-
structive greed of few Fand on the
other the splendid work of the govern
ment in preserving wealth which, if
riotously invaded, may later have to be
replaced at cost of three billion dol
lars. The article is to be- published
just as Congress is opening in THE hope
that it will help awaken the public to
the danger Of sudden attack upon the
Forestry Service in Washington this
winter. Last year an organized RAID
on the service was made. The attack
failed, but more trouble is promised
this winter.

"The Panama Canal" Men.

1t is amusing to pick up the daily
papers and read accounts OF political
candidates all over the country making
speeches on the "Panama Canal" 1t is
amusing because these candidates, who
are Invariably friends of the corpora
tions, think they can "pull the wool"
over the voters eyes by these speechts s
and not be obliged to come out and
take stand upon. some of the impor-
tant public questions of the day.
Where you find candidate Who is
working in the interests of the com
mon people you will find q candidate
who is free to give his stand Oh the tar
i1f. railroad regulation or corporation
control questions Where you find a
candidate who is seeking favors from
the corporations, there you will can-
didate content to contine his talk to
remarks on "The Panama Canal"
The voters of this country are inter.
ested in the canal, are at all times glad
to read about the progress of the work
and hear it talked about, but they
realize that it is not political issue
and they know pretty near where to
place a man who attempts to work
up his campaign by continual howl
Ing in regard to "The Panama Canal
So cut it out, gentlemen, and tell the
people what you mean to do in their
behalf; show them by your past record
if you can, that you have at all times
been an upholder of the peoples rights
If your past record won't stand for this

OLD FARMERS ON OLD PLACES.
In Many Cases They Are the Progress.
sve and Helpful Men of District.

We heard the other day of farmer
that had celebrated his eightieth BIRTH
day on the place on which he was
born. Some of these old farmers have
improved their places and made them
a Joy to the communities in which
they live, while others have permit
ted their farms to run down until
they have become places to be
Stunned by the resident who is show
ing his friends the best farms in his
vicinity.
The old farmer that is progressive
is great help to any community, re-
marks the Farmers Review. We
know some such. They are men whose
hair has become white with the SHOWS
of many winters, but they have never
ceased to progress. They are found at
the conventions of farmers and are
often met at the agricultural colleges,
where they go to keep in touch with
the new ideas in agriculture. Such
men exert an influence that is felt far
and wide. When they die they leave
behind them sacred memories. We
often hear people speak of "old
fogies," but we have run across a
good many young fogies," men who
can not be induced to adopt the i'm
proved methods that have been proven
to be good by science and by expert
ence.

VALUE OF LARGE BARNS.
They Pay on the Farm if They Ara
Needed.

The question has often come up as
to whether it is advisable to erect
large barns on the farm. Undoubtedly
it is, if they are needed. The large
barn is by far the most economical in
the long run. The danger of fire and
lightning is a small factor compared
with the convenience of having all the
stock together. He is poor business
man who does not carry a certain
amount of insurance on his out build
ings. The large barn lightens the
work during cold weather when all
the stock may be looked after at once
without the necessity of visiting a
half dozen small sheds and closing
and opening as many doors to get in
and out. It is by far more economical
to erect, and, if it is really needed, a
large barn should be chosen every
time in preference to several small
ones

FARM NOTES.

Run the spring tooth harrow through
the quack grass to kill it. For late
fall treatment, plow so that the up
turned roots will be exposed to the
freezing air of winter.
Don't forget the wood-lot. You are
likely to do this in looking after the
crops, but 1t don't pay. Pick out the
best arewood trees and cut them UP.
The manure spreader will make the
manure more valuable to your land
and is one implement that you really
need:
You will save trouble later on by
selecting seed corn now. It takes Is
ears to plant an acre.
=. Tile drains are easily filled by a
good drag and team hitched to It.

them. ~g., Is. .4.. .st.a..,.
