Piq Money in Waste Land.

The woven wire fence is reyolu-
tionizing the hog industry in the whole
country, and when farmers learn to
utilize every bit of waste land for pas
ture for their hogs the herds will be
healthy and the cost of production will
be decreased many dollars. 1t won't
do to allow the pigs TO lie in the shade
of the corn cribs or to allow them
only a run of pasture. Feed lite
corn all of the time that the pigs are
running in the pasture. The grass
grown pig does not appear so attrac-
tive with his working clothes on, but
when he is we'll developed and ready
to be fitted he makes the pampered
pets look like 80 cents. He makes
fine appearance and is a credit to his
owner and feeder.

Farm Hands Should Marry.

The man who works on a farm for
others makes a mistake if he allows
his twenty-fifth birthday to go by with
out having a wife and bit OF land oil
his own. If he has learned his job
we'll he has provided for half the
battle of farming, and if he has only
a few hundred dollars laid by it will
do for start. He can rent if he can
not buy, but good improved little

Justice to All.

Truth never contradicts itself.
Neither does justice ever come into
conflict with justice. Whatever condi-
lions are just to the farmer can be
no less than just 10 all men. No man
is wrOnged. Right is right and
wrongs no man" On the other hand,
whatever is less than justice to the
farmer is less than justice TO all men
who participate in the inequality
less than justice even to the specula'
tor and The capitalist who wax fat of
the farmers toll. 1t is true they do
not object to the injustice-they like
it-but it is a fact that people who
submit to wrong conditions do injus'
tice to their oppressors as we'll as to
their children. What is more to the
point is the thought that all honest
men-all who want justice, no less,
no more whether farmer or labOring
man, can Join hands as brothers In
the noble work of accomplishing hui
manity's freedom Moreover, one class
unaided is not equal to the job-each
needs the other Whatever is JUS
tice for one is justice for the other.
Injustice the same No man liveth to
himself-likewise no class. The farm
err cannot achieve justice for himself
without emancipating the world.-Na'
tional Co-operator

FASTING AS A RELIGIOUS RITE.
Ceremonial Observed by the Japanese
Twice a Year.

From time ont of mind, says the
Japan Times, certain devotees of that
country have visited celebrated
temple at Marta twice a year to per-
form the pious act of fasting within
lis sacred precincts. A fasting haiX
has been specially erected for their
accommodation and the number enter
ing his hall is on the increase Those
VINO have already tasted in the fasting
chamber this year number 226 men
and - women OF the whole number
% tasted less than a week, ia tasted
one week, Ten continued fasting two
weeks, "A tasted three weeks and one
went without food for five weeks.
Inquiry as to the motives of the fast
ers showed that 1863 men and 25 WON

crease their business profits, 16 men

How Farmers Saved Business
House

An interesting case where business
house selling implements to farmers
and receiving four and six months
notes in payment, was saved early
this year by the makers of these
notes, came recently to the knowledge
of the writer of this That business
house found itself without sufficient
ready cash TO meet its maturing obi
cations, but was in possession of farm
ers notes varying from 800 to $500
and amounting to almost $4,000 all
in all. The banks refused at that time
to discount those notes received in
payment for orders secured by adver-
Using When the advertising agent
of the firm called for the payment
of his monthly bill he was surprised
to receive an offer of a four months
note in payment of it, instead of the
usual check with which the firm used
to settle its monthly advertising &C
count for number of years. The
advertising agent suggested to the
manager of that firm TO appeal to the
fore maturity, by Offering them dis
count of per cent. This suggestion
struck the manager as a splendid one
with the result that within twenty
four hours a letter was mailed to the
farmers whose notes the firm held de-
scribing the conditions of the larger
cities, the difficulty of getting even
good notes discounted by banks and
Offering a discount of percent to all
willing to take their notes up before
maturity. Within one week every one
of those notes but two amounting to
$3.50, were redeemed by the farmers.
The replies came in quicker than eX-
pected Not only this, but number
of farmers offered TO buy more imple-
ments for cash if acceptable terms
could be offered. Only two farmers
did not reply and the reason of 1t
was, as was learned later, that they
had gone with their wives to Cali
fornia.
This case shows what wealth the
farming population has accumulated;
how eager it is TO take advantage OF
conditions and what market there IS
now for those seeking patronage for
legitimate propositions by the right
kind of advertising in desirable agrl-
cultural papers. -Guenthers Journal.

MIX Trust in Trouble.

From evidence obtained by the
states attorney of Chicago, it seems
pretty we'll settled that the big milk
companies have divided up the coun-
try in that section and apportioned
each slice to a member of the trust.
Farmers testified that no two compan
les operated in the same town and
that prices were fixed by the milk
companies IN every case and never
by the farmers. The only consolation
the farmers get out OF il is that there
seems TO be a faint possibility that
some members OF the trust may in
time be introduced to the inside OF

Hard Work.

Hard work is the secret Of success.
1t will come quicker if TO hard work
are added such other attributes as a
genial. sunny disposition, the ability
TO make friends quickly, etc, but the
foundation and groundwork OF success
is hard work and the man just getting
into the merchandise business. who
follows the rule, who buys carefully
and sells carefully. at all times safe
guarding his credit, and who has no
very bad habits. will win the goal

Bounty Fed French Bark Sails Seas
for One Year Without Freight
Steamer Hilonian Arrives From Honolulu With
Big Cargo of Tropical Fruits

The French bark Marthe Roux, Cap
tain Simonne. which cleared yesterday
for sydney heads, has been on the go
for the last year and in all that time
the matches have been taken off only to
air out the holds. The Marthe RouX
has in that time circled the globe with
out carrying a pound of freight and to-
day will resume its travels in search
of the elusive cargo that it was de-
signed to carry. Although earning no
freight money the barks travels will
net the owners a profit, as the bounty
paid by the French government more
than covers the running expenses of
the ship. This bounty, moreover, is not
based on the amount of freight carried.
but upon the distance travelled The
longer the voyage the bigger the
bounty. 1t is the easiest money in the
marine world. The French ship owner
who does not care to be bothered with
the troublesome details involved in the
handling of other peoples freight and
is satisfied with modest interest on
his investment has only to keep his
ships moving. The republic will do the
rest.

nation was Hobart for orders" At

still in ballast, to Moptevideo, where he
would receive further Instructions. The
instructions were there ahead of the
bark and the day after his arrival at
Montevideo Captain Simonne went to
sea again, this time headed for San
Francisco.
The Marthe Roux arrived here No
vember and day or two later re-
ceived orders to proceed to Sydney
heads for orders. The ship will sail to-
day, as time spent in port is time lost.

approached the wharf and the state OF
