The Muck Rnker..

Louisville Courier-Journai.
 It Is a very fine thing indeed to feel that you are contributing your brain and brawn to the uplifting of sag ging world and to feel that your con- tributions to the literature of the day form purgative that will eliminate the "pizen' from the body polite The muck -rakers. Mir. Steffens, Mir. Sin clair, MT. Baker, MT. Adams, MT. Irwin and others who loom in the pages of the magazines and weekly newspapers .aEe young men well set-up mentally and doubtless of as fine moral fibre as the average daily chronic1er of events and analyist of men and measures. Some of them are graduates from daily Journalism. the term being used in def arence to the feeling among the maga- zine writers that a removal from one field to the other Is graduation. MT. Steffens got his start in undertaking as a writer of special articles for New York newspaper of respectable standing. Mir. David Graham Phillips has done quite a good deal of his muck -raking work for magazine owned by one of the yellow newspa- pers and having necessarily the mo- lives and methods of the parent pub lication. There are magazines and magazines and there are newspapers and newspapers. To assert that the muck -raking magazines are virtuous and the daily newspapers vicious is ridiculous.

State Legislatures would be necessary to cope with any move on the part of corporations to avoid successful pros- ecution by incorporation in Great Britain In such case" he said. we would ask the British Government to turn the books over to us. Such q request probably would be complied with and then where would the trust be?''
 None of the trusts is likely to re- nounce its American citizenship until the corporation lawyers wito are now studying the possibilities of foreign charters have assured them that 1t will mean n greater degree of safety from convictions and fines at the hands of heartless State prosecutors. If the opinion of these experts Is favorable and particularly If the experiment con- templated by the Beef Trust Is found to work successfully. New York may some day be treated to the spectacle of an armada of ocean liners, their cabins crowded with trust magnates and their holds filled with the letter files and account books of the trusts, setting sail for safer and friendiier shores.

New York Tribune.
 At restaurant in the wholesale dry goods district, where hundreds of buy CTS are entertained every day by New York merchants and salesmen, the po- litical situation was being discussed at a table where three men were tak- ing a long-drawn-out luncheon-one of those meals which the salesman "throws in" with a good bill of goods The argument became so loud that other patrons of the place listened. and some men at tables near the central point joined in the debate. A man much older than the three noisy ones joined the group and asked: Who's the Democrat here who makes so much fuss?" One man confessed that he was the guilty person. And you two ara Taft men?" "Yes," Well, where do you voter" The question developed tha fact that the Bryan man was from. Missouri. but would not be home te vote. Of the Taft men. one lived on the upper West Side. but had neglected to register. and the other had recent ly removed to Connecticut and would not have a vote. The old man said: T can remember back as far as. the cam paign of 1856 when Fremont ran against Buchanan. I have been a close observer all these years. and have found that the men who make the most noise usually are not voters"

A .FooI" History.


 A new school history" has been foisted upon the state.
 It would be more in accord with the consonance of things to call 1t another name that rhymes with school" It is an Alabama history" written by an Alabama historian history is understood to be the truth of matters about which 1t deals. The history under comment devotes ten pages COW ering several administrations since 1874. and gives eight pages to his present mightiness in the governors office and what he has done for the people" not emitting the "jeviltry'' to the governor when president of the railroads" by his associate commits sioners. mentioned by name. Messrs. Tunstall and Saunders. As dealing with the present administration the history" Is full of false deductions, and should be enjoined from use in the schools. The state educational or school book commission. of which tho governor is chairman (and 1t is sar> casm that he should be connected with anything containing an intellectual quality.l Was 1t a condition prece- dent that his side of his administra- ton should appear before consent would be given for its adoption?
 The Governor has fooled the grown people of the state twice and now he Is getting in his work on the children. Our children should not be suffered to imbibe error through an alleged his tory of the state. and some patriotic citizen should get out an injunction against the use of the book in the schools, and against it's distribution at all.

duetIon permits the heavy feeding of oil cake and cotton-seed meal. tending to large and quick results. The yield Is from twenty to forty tons per acre of the yellow turnip and from twenty to thirty-ive tons of Swedes. They would sell for 34 to S5 per ton. Barley Yields Forty to Sixty Bushels.
 Barley. on which grass seed Is sown: The crops of barley reach from forty to sixty bushels per acre. Grass, af ter barley. yielding hay or pasture for two or three years. completing a rota- ton of seven or eight years. Clover and Italian rye grass are In general use.
 On dairy farms the oat crop in whole or in part may have peas added for soiling or hay.
 The year 1907 was cold and wet. ex- eept September; seeding and harvest ing were delayed. hence this years wheat stands thinner than usual, but well filled. Other crops indicate a good year.
 Probably 95 per cent of the farms belong to the landed proprietor, from whom the farmer takes them on a nineteen years lease. Under a recent law the tenant has the option of with drawing at the end of seven years by giving two years notice. The rents vary rom $b Tor distant farms or in- ferior soils to $20 per acre on good land contiguous to town. Former ten- ants are now landowners in some cases and many are capitalists. doing mercantile business in live stock.
 Each town has its curbstone market. where the farmers meet at least one day week to buy and sell. They are met by those who offer implements, seeds, insurance etc. Each town has a weekly cattle market and public auc- tion

Italians As Farm Workers

any such proposition was regularly voted down. Gradually. however. the Italian land owners gained strength and the moment they controlled the majority vote they demanded a new schoolhouse. Many of them contribu- ted lumber from their farms and more gave their services toward its con- struction.
 There are now thirty-two children who attend this school. thirty of them Italians. A young American girl Is teacher. She enjoyes teaching the lit- tie Italians and the parents cannot do enough to express their appreciation for the effort she Is putting into her work. Tn winter the men turn out and shovel path for her through the woods. cutting of detour of about two miles she would otherwise have to walk.
 And now for the ''bogy man." the treacherous Italian of tradition, con- ceafing a stilleto in one pocket and a bomb in the other. ready to do you with one or both on the slightest pro- vocation Like the little darkey in bed" when you turn down the blank ct, reckon him not dar."
 There are bad Italians and there are bad men of every nationality, but in no greater proportion. The gentry of black hand notoriety confde their at- tentions almost entirely to fellow coun- trymen. They are not looking for jobs on farms and seek ever the city and the crowd. As a rule, the Ital- loyal. and very responsive to kind ness.
 If only a few simple rules are fol- lowed, there need be TO trouble in get ing the best results from the labor and thy will prove valuable asset to agricultural America. But these rules are potent and AmerIcans will find them well worth their attention Never try to mix Italians from different provinces. You had better attempt to fuse oil and water. If you wish an agriculturist. get a contadini. farm CT. He may have drifted to the city. but his place is on the land and you will find him taking to it like duck to water.
 The Italians are gregarious. They prefer to live in little villages, as they do in Italy. while they cultivate out lying spots. The lonely farm house need only be of the most primitive con- struction to begin with. They will be, sure to improve them as time goes on. Their forte is intensive farming. so that a small acreage near a good market Is to their ana your benefit. Be careful to select thoroughly re- liable agency. which will assist you in choosing just what you want.
 Follow these few simple rules. and believe me you will soon hear the mu- sic of golden eagles as they jingle in your pockets, while contact with these sunny-hearted Latins will bring your buried youth bubbling to the surface. The years will fall away by decades and verify you will be boy again. although you may not look the part. At least this is the result I have ob- served in men who were most happy in their treatment of the Italian. and who were as a result getting good returns in every way
