DIVISIONS OF EARNINGS.

No matter what President ROose-
velt's farm uplift commission may dis
cover and recommend, yet the keeping
of the farmers children on the farm is
the problem of nine farmers out OF
every ten. IF the farm offers no at
fractions to the bright boy or girl, he
or she will hurry away to the nearest
town, the one to entire the first office or
store open to him and the other to be>
come a stenographer or teacher. The
has no assurance that one OF his
children will stay en- the farm, and they
often leave 1t before they are of age.
One great reason for this hegira from
the farm to the town is a refusal to di-
vide earnings with the children. The
children of the farm have little Or no
farm were handed over to them, or
some few acres, they might in that way
be induced to remain on the farm,
there to become successful and useful
citizens.
The bees or the poultry or the straw
berries or the orchard, Or q cotton
patch or one thing or another might be
a~ssignedsto a daughter with opportuni-
ties of development and with some as
of profit. This is certainly
worthy of consideration, for lchildren
cannot be expected to stay wherelthsy
see no chances of bettsrment-no
money coming in. If the farm be SO
poor it will net admit Of division of
profit then indeed the children should
leave It. They should not be expected
to stay on it, and they assuredly will
not stay if they be bright and ann BIZ
tious. Give the young folks Of the
farm a chance to see earnings coming
in and they will provide their ewn So
ciaI enjoyments in these days of rail-
roads and rural free delivery and per-
haps good roads. The great lack is a
division of earnings, and the farmer
who desires to keep a child at home
must devise a plan by which that child
will receive a share of the farmers
earnings in ready money above and be-
yond board and lodging.

As TO LUMBER.

Just when the question OF duties on
lumber up the CONSUMER is met
with a huge lumber combine, behind
which stands Frederick Weyerhause1,
the lumber king of the continents; T. B.
Walker, the white pine king, and no
doubt a yellow pine king or two, for
the new com bination covers the entire
field of supply, and Chicago is its sole
selling headquarters. Edward Hines is
its president.
The lumber producers do not seem to
be anxious about duties. They know
that lumber is a disappearing quantity,
and that time will enhance values with
or without the aid of tariff. The prices
oil lumber have been steadily advanced
in recen years, and they will be in
creased in future years regardless Of
duties. The admission CT Mexican and
Canadian lumber free of duty might re-
tard the upward tendency, but it would
not give US again cheap lumber.
Frame houses will after a while cease
to be, built in this country. In the Old
World none are built, for the simple
reason that lumber is there an expen-
sive building material. The brick
or cement houses will soon begin to
supplant the structure of wood. We
will simply follow in the Old Worlds
footsteps, and the question of duty will
not have much to do with the inevit-r
able change.

and so endangerine their vitality. This
leaves a narrow ridge with the plants
standing on it. Hoes are then brought
into requisition to scrap away any grass
or weeds that may nave made their ap-
pearance. 1t is a good practice to draw
a little dirt up around the plants after
breaking the crust which generally
working is probably the most important.
For subsequent working cultivators may
be run at intervals of a week or ten days
both ways through the tobacco. This is
is now the practice of the best tobacco
growers to use level cultivation. 1t was
once thought necessary to put a sup
porting hill around each plant at the
abandoned because it diminishes the
area of range for the roots of the plants
and also lessons the amount of humidity
within reach Of the roots and this nu-
nudity grows more important as the
leaves expand. The land should never
be worked when it's wet. When the
plants have attained a size that makes
it impossible to use a pillow or c~ultivatOr
without damage from the breakage of
leaves, it will be found advantageous to
cut out with hoes or to pull up with the
hands any grass, weeds or bushes that
may spring up. Every alien growth will
damage the quality of the tobacco.-From

TO VICTOR THE Spells.

To the victor belong the spoils. This
maxim has been handed I down in
American politics, andj the appoint
ment of Frank H. Hitchcock to be
Postmaster General in the Taft cabi-
net, and the announcement of the ap-
pointlnent at this early day, are point
ers that the old maxim is to do service
during the coming administration. No
n knows the political or rather per-
sonal obligations of the new admins
tration so well as Mr.. Hitchcock does,
for it was he who first gathered in Taft
delegates and then it. twas he who look
ed for votes in the campaign that fol
lowed the nominating convention. He
knows to a dot to whom the President
elect is indebted, and his appointment
to the portfolio hat handles more ap-
pointments than any other means that
political debts are to be paid.
The appointment of Mr. Hitchcock
undoubtedly means, too, that a second
term is to be secured, always provided
the people do not rebel over an Aldrieh-
Dalzen tariff revision or ssome other
burning issue of the next four years.
Barring a f~orbidding and controlling
revolution in public sentiment the ap-

be the nominee of his party in 1912.

be applied in the fall, when it is put on

to make the tobacco plant spot, and it
grows with so much rapidity that, though
the leaves may have ample size, they will
be lacking in body and in finish when
the tobacco is cured.
When the plants in the seed bed show
leaves as large as a quarter Of a dollar,
it is time to begin to lay off the land
