THE DAY or rAE FARMER.
Occupation Properly Recognized a.
One Of the Professions.

The farmer who Is not an amateur
Is really increasing factor In to-
days life. In fact, farming Is rapidly
becoming one of the professions. We
have our agricultural schools. just as
we have our law schools
1t is getting to be business as
well. Farmers have their trusts, like
other manufacturers.
It is a far cry from the New Eng
land farmer, trying to arrange an ex-
ploded granite quarry into stone
wall that he may have room in which
to plant his crop, and that master OF
capital, science, and black earth ten
feet deep who plows with traction
engine and reaps with a ten horse
team. And between these two types
of farmers the drift is steadily toward
the latter
The comic paper does not laugh at
the granger" as frequently as 1t used
to laugh. 1t wants his subscription.
The capitalist does not foreclose
mortgages on the prairie farm now.
He borrows money of its owner.
And, what is vastly more impor-
tant, the entire country looks with a
respect bordering upon apprehension
on this new type of American who
has decided views on railroads, trusts,
and, in fact, on every subject from
the "green bug to the lecturer at his
Chautauqua. This rise of the farmer
into national significance is welcome
in view of the inundation of great
clties by immigrants who have sig
nificance only en- masse.
The farm Is the nursery OF individ-
ualism. If you are cliff dweller in
the city send your boy there this sum-
mer and let him see what it means to
create wealth with the help Of nature
rather than with the ticker You Will
help make him better American

Wanton slauohter Of Game.

/ XIII! Kill! XIII! The word is on
every tongue from the time the big
game season opens In the far west
until 1t closes, two months later.
Every mans hand seems to be against
the wild things of the mountains-the
harmless wild things which lend to
the forest half its charm. If 1t were
the aim of the people to exterminate
the deer, elk and mountain sheep they
could not kill with more avidity, The
question of skill does not enter into
1t. If an elk Is close enough to SINCE
his hair with the powder, no matter,
kill him! II the pack horses are al
ready loaded to the limit, II not q
pound of the meat is to be touched, II
the head is worthless as a trophy and
the horns valueless, no matter, kill
Just the same. The law permits each
person his two elk, so take the limit!
If an animal is crippled, do not bother
to trail him, let him go; the wolves
will pull him down eventually, or he
will fall and starve-that elk with the
shattered shoulder or the deer with
the dragging hind leg. What does 1t
matter to you II, comparatively few
years hence, the elk tracks and the
print of the deer's pointed hoof are
gone forever, If the forests are de-
pleted and silent and pair of antlers
has become curiosity? You have
had your sport. And this, exclaims
Caroline Lockhart in Lippincott's, Is
the way in which nine-tenths OF the
people reason who hunt in the big
game season. The real sportsman Is
not menace to the game; he Is Its
best friend, its protector. He is as
Jealous of it as though 1t were his own
property, and he has a clearly defined
code Of honor in regard to the killing
Of it. But real sportsmen are rare In
the big-game country,

We are all creatures Of habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings Of daily life have
powerful influence on the character Of
both. The root Of all bad manners is
selfishness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear, and drops 80
far behind in time that 1t disappears
altogether. Zone cannot keep UP the
ceremony and etiquette Of society
when at home" True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
ciety together, but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be SO much the habit with each Of us
that 1t will become our second nature.
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or leg.

DRIVING Into Nets.

In the old days every southern gen.
tleman had his net for quail. The
drive was an event in the county. Our
youth of to-day may never enjoy such
sport. In the proper season the neigh
bors we're invited. All came on horse
back, for while quail will rise from
the approach Of dog or man, they
will run along the ground ahead of a
gentle horse. Much skill was required
to drive covey into the net. AS many
as 30 horsemen would form a semi
circle and slowly, patiently, silently
make the roundup, all driving toward
the common center, yet from one gen.
eral direction only, and that always
against the wind. The net had been
set facing the wind. An impatient
man on fractions horse might des-
troy the work of half day by flush.

Women In Business World.

Perhaps the greatest compliment
that can be paid the business woman
Of to-day is the matter-of-course view
the public takes of the entrance of
some enterprising woman into field
hitherto reserved for masculine en-
deavor. The conquest OF woman's
invasion of the Industrial and COM
mercial fields is almost, but not quite,
a complete victory. There are yet a
few scattering Notifications to be
taken before they can claim to have
silenced the batteries of the opposi-

Three tired citizens lawyer, q

Charcoal an Antidote.

Japanese physicians declare 1t Is
impossible for internal poisoning to oc-
cur II powdered charcoal be swallowed
as soon as the gastro-intestinal dis.
turbance Is felt. French physicians
have tested the power of charcoal, and
proved that It is the most active Of all
known antidotes. The charcoal must
be taken as soon as the poison taken
begins to show Its effect. and the
doses must be large. Charcoal is in
no way injurious, and as much as a
soupspoonful may be taken in divided
doses mixed In water.

New Jersey lives up TO its reputa-
ton for producing original citizens.
The latest case in point is that Of
Peter Mowry, an engineer on the Del
aware, Lackawanna & Western rail-
road. One day when his train reached
Millburn he discovered that he did not
have water enough to carry him to
the next water tank. He hesitated
only a moment, then jumped out Of
his cab and disappeared. Before he
climbed back to his seat the fire en-
gines came tearing down the street
toward the station. In reply to the
foreman, who asked where the fire
was, Mowry explained his needs, and
said he had pulled the alarm because
he thought maybe the fire company
could run a hose to hydrant and fill
his tank. He did not judge his fellow
Jerseymen wrongly, for the hose was
unwound and he soon had all the wa
ter he needed.

DR.. Marade, the French inventor Of
voice telegraphy, says that the reason
women can talk longer, and faster,
and harder than men is because their
larynges are narrower. He asserts
that there is need for a tremendous
amount of power in talking with a
broad larynx-that an orator talking
to a big crowd does as much work as
q porter who shoulders 400 pounds.
On this basis there are several gen.
tlemen loose in the country who are
doing as much work as the average
railroad.

TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American Indians.

The North American Indians Of the
western coast have tradition that
roses were created without thorns.
So tall and fair they grew that all
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness OF
the roses abundant foliage, and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to itself.
Every part of the earth had been
given its glory of roses, but in every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to devour them,
and and tribes Of roses were in dan
ger of becoming extinct. In their ex-
tremity they held council, for in
that faraway morning OF the world
plants as well as animals had power
to speak To the council all the
roses came, and each had tale to tell
of suffering and disaster. At length
1t was decided to send for help to the
goldman Of the tribes-the Hiawatha
of the west. Delegates we're chosen
from among those who were MANNED
and torn and had suffered most. 9th
ers also were sent who were tall and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun-
ell discerned that should justice be
denied the tribes, beauty might pre-
vail In their cause.
The conference was long and grave.
At its close an armory Of thorns was
given to every rose, and thus were the
tribes of roses delivered from the en-
emies. Circle Magazine. f

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year. 1t would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
err than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently becoms a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments 10 policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80. were 1,66O,761. 1t is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were 1,1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
ities, trust fund installments, for pur.
chased policies and for dividends was
S104S0,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, EN-.
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families Of those who die pre-
maturely.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity Of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

Observation-Disclosures

When the big sugar refinery Was to
be built at Garden City, the Santa re
road, which, by the way, made Garden
City, Clipped in" with some money to
help build 1t. II the new industry was
to be a success, which 1t will not be,
then the Santa Fe would be the bene-
ficiary, for every ton Of beets hauled
In and every sack Of sugar hauled out
would pay freight to the Santa Fe
road.
The Santa Fe has spent hundreds
and hundreds of thousands Of dollars
in the southwest In aiding enterprises
and building towns. No one ever be-
fore questioned the right OF the road
to help build town that would bring
1t business when built The road had
as much right to do that as citizen
has to contribute money to build a
church, or to erect factory. But the
new school Of reformers smelled rat.
They went after the Santa Fe, and got
an Indictment against the, road for
giving rebates. The jury construed
the donation as rebate" The pos
sible fines against the road for this
horrible crime will amount to $780,
900.
In other words, the Santa Fe must
not hereafter give aid or comfort or
encouragement or cash to any enter
prise that will build up the country
through which it goes, nor help in any
way the citizens of town to develop
their industries. 1t was a business
proposition for the Santa Fe to help
erect the sugar refinery. The Gazette
does not believe 1t was good business,
because it does not believe the beet
sugar industry will prove a success.
Bat that Is neither here nor there.
The Santa Fe and the Garden City
people take their chances on that and
they know more about 1t than the Ga
zette does. II the industry is sue
cess, 1t will not only inure to the bene-
fit OF the people of the upper Arkansas
valley In Kansas, but to the whole
country in general, and to the Santa
Fe railroad In particular. The gov
eminent itself has been giving bonus
to the sugar growers all these years, a
part of the time in cash to the pro-
ducers, and part of the time in a
tariff on their products. The action of
the government in indicting the rail
road for doing exactly what the gov
itself has done for years and
is doing now Is so inconsistent as to
be absurd.
And If this is to be the policy pur-
sued, and If this is the theory of the
government in regard to the law pro-
rebates, where will the Santa
Fe and every other pioneer road land?
From Topeka to Coolige and from
Newton to Arkansas City and Kiowa,
there Is not town in Kansas that
has not been given assistance by the
Santa Fe road. 1t has done something.
more and sometimes less,
for each and every one of them, but
there is not one that has not been
helped in local enterprises by the
Santa Fe. If this policy of the gov
is to be carried out, there is
not enough stock of the Santa Fe to
pay the fines that can be assessed |
against it unless the statute of limita-
ions has run against the crimes
and misdemeanors.-Lawrence, KS.

FRUIT OUTLOOK IS BETTER
Statistics of Central Railway Point to Big Crop This
Season.
Season.

Statistics compiled by the Central
Railway on fruit, vegetable and melon
crops along its lines show that this
should be a banner year, especially in
the peach crop. A larger acreage of
melons, potatoes and other veget lbles
has been planted.
Every season hundreds of carloads
of fruit is shipped to the Northern
markets over the Central, and, on May
l each year, the officials have the status
of the crops compiled. 1t is from these
statistics that the above information is
gained.
The peach crop is as follows: Bear
ing trees, 5,66O,7O4, an increase of
161.447, Young trees that will come to
bear this season, 1889, 80; young trees
planted during fall of last year, 63l,-
875; young trees planted the spring of
this year, 10000.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-05-23

With good conditions the water
melon season will be exceptionally
good, as larger acreage, by $40 acres,
has been planted than ever befo1 e..
the acreage along the Central an cunts
to 1894 acres.
The success of the cantalo upe crop
in former years seems 20 have at
tracted farmers, and twice as many
acres as last year have been planted.
The farmers realize an acre of canta-
loupes is more profitable than an acre
of Watermolons.
The acreage in canteloupes along the
Central this year is 1878 acres, against
668 acres planted last year.
From these figures it would seem
that, in spite of bad weather and late
frosts, the fruit and vegetable crops OF
Georgia and Alabama will be better
than those of last season.
