PREDATORY WEALTH.

Candidate Bryan, and the preas
favorable to his nomination, have had
considerable to say about predatory
wealth" The charge Is made, with
apparent sincerity On the part Of some,
that Republicans have purchased the
presidency in the last three campaigns;
or, in other words, that money WAS
subscribed by the arrogant rich for the
purpose Of bsibing Democrats to vote
against their party nominee and assist
in the election Of . Republican presi.
dent In making this serious charge,
Mr.. Bryan and hs spokesmen assume
. superior brand Of political morality
By claiming that such methods are
foreign to the Democratic party.
The fact Of tie matter is that both
parties use money for campaign pur.

SECRET OF THE CORN BELT.


NebraskA is in the corn belt. This
is evident from the amount of corn
raised and the hogs Nebraska farmers
send to market. But the farmers of
Nebraska are not securing the results
obtained in Iowa. Even Vermont
usually leads Nebraska IN the average
yield of corn per acre. Not that the
soil of Vermont is richer and more
productive. The soil of this state is
the richer of the two. But Vermont
pays more attention to scientific farm.
ing and consequently secures better
results. Outing magazine tells Why
Iowa and Wisconsin have been able to
produce better corn than this state. It
gives the students Of agricultural COL
leges credit for the advance made in
the culture of corn. "When students
60 out from the schools" says Outing
magazine, "they are organized into
farmers experimental associations, each
association to be nucleus of improve
ment for its district. incidentally, it
may be said, the boys are told not to
90 home and brag, but to let the results
speak. To these students the seed
corn lie distributed. It need scarcely
be told that the students take care
both by cultivation and rotation to
to have the soil in perfect condition
for it. They also take care not to
plant it near the field of some slovenly
neighbor, whose weeds and poor types
will be blown over the fence by the
wind.
As the crop grows, neighboring
farmers look and look again. They
may sneer at what they call fancy
tif6cs,' but if the fancy farming puts
$50 more to the acre in the boys
pocket, they are going to ask where he
got the seed and buy some from him.
1t is here the reward comes to the
students who have gone to the expense
of q scientific course. While common
corn sells at from 40 to 60 cents, IN
average of so cents, seed corn prop
erly cured, tested and guaranteed to
give high averages pediereed seed
sells for from s. to 81 . bushel. There
Is record of . fancy lot sold 1t $50
for the bushel, but that was abnormal.
The Wisconsin boys Of the agronomy
department are taking in 500, 900 .
year for pure pedigreed seed. One
boy, whose father told him he could
90 in for the fancy seed business in
corn and make all he liked out of it,
md the young rascal, to his fathers
utter fabbergastedness, put away
&c, 900 in one summer, beating his |
fathers income"

Theodore Roosevelt is not the first
President the United States senate has
attempted to humiliate, and whose
wishes were disregarded BY those jeal-
Gus Of his popularity. It Was during
Washington's first term, when the sen.
ate had failed to act ON an Indian
treaty, that Washington. in company
with his Secretary of War, General
Knox, entered the senate chamber,
and mildly reproved the members Of
the senate for neglecting to act upon
the treaty which was 1t that time in
the hands Of . committee. Since that
day, no other president has entered the
senate chamber and addressed the
members in support of any bill or leg
islation the country demanded.
