ENLIGHTENED SELF INTEREST

There Is one motive behind all busi-
ness dealings, the handspring of all
business transactions. People buy
and sell with one fundamental object
the hope of gain. 1t Is matter Of
sef-interest pure and simple and
doubtless will remain so to the end Of
the chapter. The difference in mer-
chants lies in the fact that this self
interest may be brutal and unprin-
cipled with the result that it Is short
sighted and considers only temporary
gain or that, on the other hand, 1t
may be controlled by the highest aims
and be rewarded by permanent sue
cess.
In the United States one Of the
most conspicuous examples Of self
interest wisely consulted is the seed
business of d. NJ. Ferry & Co. We
do not know how it would be possible
better to serve the purchasing public
than by their method of supplying an
n"ally every local dealer in the conn
try with seeds freshly put up and then
al the end Of the season removing
from the retailer al stocks left on
hand. thus preventing the possibly OF
unfit seeds being carried over for an
other spring. BY regarding primar-
ily the interests Of the purchaser, d.
NJ. Ferry & Co. have grown to be the
largest seedhouse in the world This
success has necesgitated systematic
organization and made 1t possible not
only to specialize but to have the bes'
physical equipment in America.

A man who has been a farmer for over sixty years, and who is decided success at the business, sums up his experience in these words. Farm product have a selling valu', at the place of their making-1 va,te just as they come from the .oil They have also an additional value to the farmer who converts them into a more con- densed form, by feeding them to live stock. That is their feeding value. We thus get to the manure value, and 1t surely is a most important one. To increase the fertility of the soil, is like loaning money at compound in- terest-it doubles the value every eight or ten years. The farmer who sells loses the feeding and manurial values. If he parts with a ton of hay for $9, say, and could make it pay him SIP by feeding it to cattle and sheep, he has lost $3 of the feeding value and S3 worth of manure. In other words, he has sold his hay for s6 per ton less than it was worth if used by him" The need of pasture. hay and livestock in good farming are thus seen.-Home and Farm.

Jeff Davis for President.

Adlai F. Stevenson, of Illinois, form erly vice president of the United States Is fond of telling of an odd ex- perience he had shortly after the civil war. At the time David Davis was much talked of as the man to run against Gen. Grant for the presidency. A conference was held in MT. Steven sons Bloomington residence, many leading Illinois and other Democrats being present. A good deal was said about the possible candidacy of MT. Davis, but no one happened to men, tion his first name. After the confer ence broke up MT. Stevenson drew an old farmer friend into a corner and asked his opinion. The farmer was from the extreme southern end of Illinois. He said: "Well, Adlai, you know I've followed your lead in poli- tics for a good while and Pm going to do it now. But. honest, Adlai, don't you think it's a leetle mite early to nominate Jeff Davis" = Chicago Chronicle.

IMMIGRANTS.

The question of immigrants is no little importance to our people an l the following figures will give you an idea of the number in the United States each year: Last fiscal year italy sent us 2S5,000 immigrants; Rus sia, 5000; Hungary, 193,000; Aus tria, 144,00; Great Britain, 111,000; Germany, 37,OoO; Greece, 96,000; Ja- pan, 3O,Oo0. and Norway, 22,000, and so on from other countries. Yet We hear the cry from almost every news paper and from every demagogue politician for more immigrants.
 We have never yet been able to un- derstand why certain classes are so anxious for more immigrants. Here in Birmingham we have Greeks and Italians who get rich i'll few years and take their money back to the old coun- try. The fact is the only immigrants, IS rule who stay with us are the ones who can't get enough of our money to get away on. The country is filling up too fast already.-Farmers Union Guide.

The trouble with the farmer all the time Is a lack of confidence in other farmers. While he is willing to trust everything to the slick politician. When is the day coming that the man who, for the sake of the loaves and the fishes of political fortune, Is not allowed to carry away the peoples votes by the ardor of his defense of the old soldier, or some other thing of the past, just then the light will begin to break, and the day of hope will have come to the farmer.

the market to force the price up should be out of debt! No matter whether he puts his cotton in a warehouse or keeps it at home, if he has to get ad- vances on it in order to pay his debts he is in no shape to control the mar ket. He may get money from the bank and worry the buyer for a little while, but the banker will worry him later on. The only show is to make what you live on and live on what you make, as nearly as possible, until you can snap your fingers in the face of the cotton buyer.-Abilene Farmers Journal

It is sometimes a paying thing to run cotton mill or canning factory without direct profit. If bunch of farmers put up cannery and get market which they never had before, they are ahead of the game, even if the cannery or factory never qr llares a dividend. It is the final end attained that should be looked for.

One of the ways to save good deal of the cotton that is now being wasted between the patch and the mill is to build bunch of mills all over the cotton growing section. Some of the money lying idle in the banks (shown by the reports to the Government should be used to build some mills.

It is wonderful how the demand for fruit grows with the growth of the population and education.

The day of the open saloon is about over in this country, and the boys are coming up clean and clear of the taint of the bottle The railways and the big corporations, faults though they have, are to be credited with the growth of the sentiment that the drinking man is not the man to be trusted with important matters.

When the nights that have now started to grow longer get lengthy enough for the boys to get together at night to discuss the things that are for the good of the people, the first thing that should come up should be the consolidation of the smaller schools. In many places this is i'm practicable, owing to conditions that might be easily remedied. To go a little further is small matter when taken in connection with a much bet ter school. The highest possible grade of school work is not possible where each small community must have a separate school, with one teacher, whose range runs from the trundle- bed-beginner to those entering algebra and Latin.

any chances on burning their fingers
with high priced packings. During the
past week very little 1907 goods we're re-
ported sold. While no 1906 tobacco in
bulk was reported sold, good deal was
bought by the manufacturers in spite of
the fact that there was lull in the
cigar industry last week. The industry
has lately been strengthened a little,

The 1907 tobacco is looked upon as a
hard sweater, and packers say it cannot
fail being good filler crop. Some pack
ers even declare it will be better than
the 1906 goods, because it is heavier in

NEW YoRK. June 24. 1903

Business of fair proportion is reported
by the Water street contingent this
week, The cigar manufacturers are still
not busy, but the extreme dullness that
characterized the earlier months of the
panic period seems to be thing of the
past. The ease of the money market is
reflected in better collections. Trans
actions in leaf tobacco are still largely
for immediate consu mption only, but
some of these are of considerable magni-
.ude. Indications are that the 1906 to-
bacco in the market will be bought up
to a large extent at prevailing prices be-
fore the new tobacco comes into the
market, and that the 1907 crop, provid-
ing it comes through fairly sound, will
leave the packers fairly reasonable
proit.
A well-informed leaf dealer, speaking
of the situation in domestic leaf tobac-
cos said: From my point of view, now
that it is established that there is to be
no further break ia prices, it would
seem, if the present promise for the sta
pie crops OF this country holds good,
that all indications are for livelier
market for cigar leaf types in the fall,
with the consequent certainty of frmer
prices Enl5 cOnsl0erallOn WOnlQ seem
to establish the fact, which the best
posted men in the cigar leaf market
have been claiming right along, that we
are in an era of permanently higher
prices than those of decade ago, and
that the term cheap is, as always, a rel
ative one, and that those pessimists who
expected such panic prices and low bases
Of value as characterized the 1893 to
1896 depression are doomed to disap-
pointment. Leaf.

As all accounts agree in saying that
the 1908 tobacco crop is fully one week
ahead of most of the previous crops, we
will try TO think that the present crop is
taking care Of itself in good shape. The
dry, hot, windy weather has lsfr rs mark
on the hay crop, and I dor Know hit
what we shall see injury deesioped along
other crop lines within 2 afy few days.
Tobacco is certainly L. ~ iLg fee at this
writing but with the thermom ter rang
ing up into the ninetn~ and with the
wind blowing as it has uene ~ times, it
won't take long to decio this tobacco
question. If hot weather continues /
am afraid we shall see tendency of the
plants to spindle, and once this spindl-
ing has taken hold no amount of good
weather and attention will ever develop
such plants into good, shapely and
heavy tobacco. Cultivator.I
