Reports from places which used vot.

Reports from places which used vot-
ing machines In the recent State cleo
lions show the superiority of the ma
chine over the lead-pencil-and-ba ballot
method. In no place where the ma
chimes were used were returns later
than one-half hour after the closing Of
the polls. In most places where the
old fashioned way of voting prevailed
there was seldom complete and accu-
rate return within twenty-four hours.
Machines are now In use In more than
600 cities, towns and villages In the
United States. Buffalo, Syracuse, San
Francisco. Indianapolis. Milwaukee,
Cleveland and Omaha are among the
larger cities where theS have been
adopted.

The present period is distinguished
for two things-prosperity and discon-
tent. Despite many glaring inequali-
ties or inequities in the distribution Of
Its results, great prosperity has pre-
vailed In the United States for eight
or nine years, and there are no visible
signs of its interruption. Yet 1t is a
matter of common remark that only in
few trying times of great industrial
depression, when millions of working
people were deprived of opportunities
to earn living, has there been so much
discomfort as Is seen and heard and
felt in these times of amazing prosper
ity. Never before were attacks on the
great trusts made with such determina-
tion and effect. Never before were the
people SO united and so Jealous In war
fare upon political graft in all sections.
The discomfort Of the period Is not
mere grumbling. 1t is enlightened de-
sire for better conditions. Such dis
content is the parent of all progress.
If the American people were more con-
tent with full stomach they would
be less energetic and progressive. To
an Individual, tribe, or a people who
are contented, who have all they de-
sire, progress is impossible. But for
those whose ideals are higher than any
present attainment, the longing for bet
ter things, who have shown up here
and there In all the ages and who have
become more numerous and more In
sistent as one after another their aims
and longings have been gratified, the
progress Of the human family would
never have advanced beyond naked bar
barism. We are discontented people
there's mo denying it, and no reason
for trying to deny 1t. Because we are
discontented we hustle and get there. y
The discomfort Is not at all due to the
prosperity, but the prosperity is very
largely due to the discomfort. We have
not reached perfection yet, and the fact
that we know 1t and kick about 1t is
the best possible assurance that affair:
will steadily grow better.

1t Is not sufficiently recognized that
agriculture Is scientific pursuit and
that In order to get the very best re-
turns out Of 1t man could to ad-
vantage utilize a special scientific edu-
cation as truly as does the doctor or
lawyer or the engineer. 1t is not mere
ly because Of the increased material
return that such education for the
farmer is Of value. The intellectual
and moral dividends would by means
Of such training be equally increased.

A few years ago there was a de-
mand for heavy lard hogs. Now the
tendency is toward smooth, even
hogs of medium weight, or from 225
to $50 pounds of early maturity. Hogs
of this weight should be free from
surplus fat, possess smooth shoulders,
hams moderately heavy, a firm flesh

a large development of belly meat.
The back should be of good length,
width and smooth. showing an alb
sence of fat above the hams. The best
cuts of the hog are taken from the
back, loin and sides, hence the import
ance of good length and depth of the
sides. The careful breeder of the
pure-bred swine keeps informed on
just such points and aims to produce
in his herd those qualities that most
nearly meet the market demand. rhe
