AND
COOPERATIVE UNION
OF AMERICA -
A LESSON IN FARMING.

Arkansas Conway Union Tribune:
1t seems like a nervy thing for
man who is $1,000 in debt and no
money on hand to buy a farm. but
that Is what was done by c. NJ. Flem
ing of Saline County, Ark, and he
succeeded In paving for his farm out
OF crop proceeds in the space of five
years.
II was in 1895 that Mr.. Fleming
bought the 96-acre sandy hill farm on
which he has since lived. At that
time he was not only $1,000 in debt.
but had no money and had to be fur
nished with team. tools, implements
and supplies 1t was an unpromising
beginning, yet by reason of hard work.
intelligent planning and good manage
meht he paid for this farm in five
years.
Mr. Fleming is not an all-cotton
farmer, but believes in diversification.
He had 65 acres in cultivation, di-
vided usually about as follows:
Ten acres are in cotton, IL acres
in corn, 25 acres in pease for pea
hay. followed by oats, which is cut for
hay, acres in watermelons, Q acres
in cantaloupes, 2 acres in Irish po-
tatoes 2 acres in sweet potatoes, and
the rest, or about 10 acres, in peas,
part of which are in drills and part
broadcast. This last ten acres fur
nishes some hay and all the seed for
the next year. Peas are also planted
between the corn rows at the last cul-
tiYation and are hogged down.
1t is Mr.. Fleming's practice to raise
all his supplies Of hay, corn and meat,
and he usually has a surplus of $3.50
worth of hay to sell every year The
average yield of pea hay is about
one ton per acre, and of oat hay near
ly as much. and the price received is
usually about SIS per ton
Mr.. Fleming's land is mostly quite
sandy and rolling or slightly hilly. Its
fertility is naturally inferior, and it
washes badly if given a chance The
washing. however, is checked by deep
blowing fbreaking1 and by the crops
of hay which bind the soil particles.
He uses all the manure made on his
farm and buys some commercial fer
tilezers, particularly for his vege-
tables. He breaks his land fiat and
practices shallow cultivation
Mr. Fleming is a reading farmer
and a man who studies his business
He does not believe that success in
farming depends entirely or mainly
on main strength and awllwardness,
but that there is such a thing as sci
entific farming He believes in and
practices diversification He also
plants his crops so that his work will
be distributed throughout the year.
Mr.. Fleming has a wife and two
small children. He says that his sue
cess would have been greater If he
had not been troubled so much with
! i'll health.
The above is a good lesson, and
we deem it very important lesson.

himself able to improve those opportuni-
ties 10 a manner which IL 10 not extrava-
gant to say will be his broadest claim SO
far to enduring fame when the acute Wis
nal dlatortion OF the present and oppor-
tune shall have given place to the mex
orable perspective OF history In which
the relative values OF pub.lc deeds to
public duties are completely clarified and
announced to posterity. The misery and
misfortune which un ignorant or obsti-
nate administrator, no matter how high
the ethical standard OF his motives, could
entail upon our wards OF the Pacific and
Caribbean are appalling to coute nj plat e /;
were his administration to be at fault in
any other particular, in those things Mr..
Tait's record shows him to be entirely
dependable.
Aud the er- President further says,
with respect to Mr.. Talt's character and
experience
"There is fear on my part OF being mis-.
underntood in what 1 am ebout to say
but surely the fair. minded man must re-
nlize when he considers my attitude to-
ward my own party, all now a matter Of
immutable record, that IL Is prompted by
a sense OF simple fairness. Personally
aud officially have had the opportunity
of knowing many things concerning Mr..
Taft that were not matter OF general
kuo Wedge, aud with a keen interest
have watched bis large share In the con
duct OF our national affairs in very re
cent years. His excellence as federal
Judge In Cincinnati is something not to
be underestimAted or overemphaeized,
for should he come to the Presidential
chair the qualities which made him a
Judge OF high ability, which l know him
10 have been, will be the most neediul
to him as President OF the United States
His high ideals OF honesty and OF rela-
tive Justice, his great capacity for severe
labor, aud bis humorous Wisdom ia the
face OF tue serious problem are attributes
equally valuable and oommendetory to a
people seeking him In whom they may
repose the trust OF their collective inter.
ests while they turn their increased at

Grover Cleveland's Views.

Ex-Presldent Cleveland, short time
before his death, began the preparation
OF series of papers on the political stu
alton, only one OF which he lived to com
plete. This las since been widely pub
lished, and is well worthy OF considera-
tion as the view OF one who, after eight
years of the Presidency, had no further
political ambition. In relation to candl-
dates, and to the organization and read
justment OF parties, he said:
"When it beoHms apparent that Mr..
Taft would be the nominee Of his party,
that Mr.. Hearst NJ his party would
make a olean-out - for emplacement
as "A national factor and not endravor to
gain any Immediate advantage Tor them

THK old theory that men from the tenn
perate zones become accliuated to i,
tropical climate is not sustained by the
experience Of the American army aul
navy in our insular possessions %,
naval surgeons, especially, In their r,
ports, dwell strongly on the necessity Of
having officers snd men who are ON duty
In the tropical stations serve not more
than one years continuous service at
suoh places or, II that Is impossible, it is
advised that they should receive one
months leave a year, to be spent In the
northern climate. 1t has been found
that second tour OF tropical service
more quickly disables them than the first,
aud that very few escape some serious
silment. In some places, such rs Guam,
the isolation assists the sunlight in pro
duoing mental depression, and the sec
ond tour OF duty Ii more menaoing ia this
respect than the original term.

TO OUR READERS.

THE HoNrsDALE CITIZEN having been
disposed Of TO The Citizen Publishing
Company, the relation Of Wilson &
Penniman TO the paper, as proprietors,
publishers and editors, ceases with this
issue.
On September IL, 1874, r. B. Pepni-
man began the publication OF the
"Honesdale Democrat" He continued
lie publication until September Q. 1857
when bis son, Edward A. Penninan,
became partner. and the publication
was continued under the name Of II. B.
Penniman & Son until August 25, 1883.
when the son became sOle proprietor.
On February 1S. 1864. the paper was en-
larged in size, and it's name changed to
1.-THE Republic. In the summer of 1868,
O one half interest in the paper was pur-
chased by "The Wayne Citizen Ascot
ation," an uDincorporated body com
posed OF prominent Republicans Of
Honesdale and on June 18th the paper
was enlarged to it's present size and its
name changed to 1.-THE Wayne Citizen" !"
and with J. @. Wells as editor. Mr..
Wells remained for few months, and
on Msy "a, 1869, J. d. Pyott became cd
itor. In November following Mr.. Py OFT
retired. In May, 1870, Henry Wilson,
who fSr the preceding two years had
published paper IN Hazleton, Luzerne
county, became senior editor. Since
that date the psper has been published
by Wilson & Penniman. The indefinite
localiEation Of the title Wayne was
found source of some Inconvenience.
and on June 1o. 1873, the word "Hones
dale" was substituted, and the paper
has since been published as THE
HoNEsDALE CITIZEN"
Thus. with the successive changes Of
name and ownership above noted, the
paper is now in it's sixty fifth year.
In politics, THE CITIZEN has been firm
in it's advocacy Of Republican princi-
pies, and has given an unwaVering cup
port to the candidates Of the party. A,
the same time, it has treated it's oppo
nents with fairness and courtesy, and
giveh them such credit as appeared due
them, During the party dissensions Of
recent y care. it has stood as the repre-
sentative Of the Republican Old
Guard" and contended against the the
ory that the party could gain in strength
or derive any real benefit from placing
Democrats In Office through the defeat
Of its-uwn candrdates.
We sever with regret the bond that
has 90 long connected Us with our
readers, ana must here express our
sincere appreciation Of the support and
encouragement they have extended to
us. and of the aid given us by our pains
taking corps OF correspondents. As
to the reasons for quitting the editorial
chair, the chief one 10 to be found in our
strained relations with Ammo DGmini,
in it's annually recurring visitstions.
Both editors are well past the scriptur'
al working time limit Of three score
years and ten and while we recognize
the advantages of a semiweekly organ
of the party. we no longer feel equal tc
the increased burden which it's manage
ment would impose on us. Hence we
cheerfully give place to those better able
to undertake the labor, and bespeak fol
them the cordial support Of the party.
