Small farms possess many advan-
tages over large holdings. and for the
capital invested pay much larger diyi-
dends. The owner of a small farm
does not envy the bonanza agricul-
turist who becomes a slave to his
broad acres. IN general, men who en-
gage in husbandry are ambitious to
own too much land, and in this way
become in many instances actually
land poor. They can not profitably
work their estates. Although a man
may have the resources to buy a large
farm, unless he has the capital to
properly equip it he will find his
broad acres an improbable invest
ment. To realize the greatest posi-
bilities out of a farm it must be
equipped with proper appointments
and stocked with improved breeds OF
animals. The outbuildings need to be
economically arranged, and of a class
to afford proper protection to his
stock. If all ones capital is invested
in land the owner is destined to strug-
gle for years to make his necessary
improvements. Beginning with mex
pensive betterments, the farmer is
forced into a life of self-denial before
he can attain to the comforts of life
which might have been his for years
had he been content with less land
and better improvements. The farm
improved with poor fences and out
buildings, inferior wells and no wind
mills continually subjects its owner
to losses of crops and live stock.
Large farms require much help to
successfully operate them. The big
farm is always short of ample labor
ers to efficiently operate it. At great
expense, crops are often produced,
only to be sacrificed because the farm
er can not obtain the requisite amount
of help to save the harvest.
Modern agriculture contemplates
more intensive cultivation of the land,
and returns from one acre are two
fold received under ordinary tillage
Improvement in tillage is the foun-
dation of advanced husbandry. In
tense cultivation kills weeds, encour-
ages plant growth and keeps the soil
in proper condition to absorb natures
fertilizers from the atmosphere, dews
and rains that fall on the land
Consider what vast difference is
possible between one farm of $40
acres or 16 farms of 40 acres as to
the social future of rural life. If own
ers could carry their land with them
when they pass to the silent shades OF
death land covetousness might be toll
Grated, but too much land forces a
neglect of the higher and nobler at
tributes of cultivation.-Far and
Drovers' Journal

Negligence in High Places.

and operated within the law, then the
law should be changed A mining
board of five practical men has con-
trolled mine regulation in this State
for years. Five months ago this board
was supplemented by mining inves-
LEGATION commission, wrose especial
duty is to study mining conditions
with the view of safeguarding human
life.
The holocaust at Cherry was clearly
preventable, but no steps were taken
to prevent it. This is simply another
instance of the policy of appointing TO
important commissions men who re-
gard their appointment as merely a
mark of the high honor in which they
believe themselves to be held by their
fellow-men, and involving no obliga-
ton to the public.-Chicago Journal.

MoOsHINE BUTTER.
Counterfeit Article Costing Govern
ment More than Unlawful Whisky.

'Moonshine butter" is making
good deal of trouble for the govern
ment thees days. The reason is sim
ply that there is a tax Of 10 cents
pound on oleomargarine that is color
ed to initiate butter, whereas on the
uncolored article it is only one-fourth
OF a cent pound. OF course this Of
fers an invitation TO fraud A man
rents house or cellar, buys a few
hundred barrels of "oleo" from meat
packer, puts 1t into big vat, heats 1t
adds the requisite amount of "annato"
to give the desired tint, mixes 1t thor
oughly and sells the stuffs as fresh
dairy butter"
This sort of thing Is being done at
present on a considerable scale in most
of the large cities of the East and
Middle West. 1t gives the govern
ment more annoyance, ten times over,
than the distilling OF Illicit whisky
Oleomargarine is composed Of ami
NAL fats and cottonseed oil II Is per-
fectly wholesome, and good deal OF
it is used for cooking instead of but
ter. Its first cost at wholesale Is 10
or IL cents a pound. All right so far.
But when hundreds Of tons OF II are
sold without paying the tax of 10 cents
pound-the extra and illegitimace
profit to the "moonshiner" being 9A
cents--the loss to Uncle Sam is great.

The bulk of American protection"
manufactures are from concerns locat-
ed in the Eastern States. The Middle
West and South have some, but the
East by far the majority.
The American West is populated
mainly by producers and consumers.
Manufactures cut comparatively small
figure-as yet. Agriculture is the chief
industry.
That is why we have sectional"
tariff issue. 1t is not the Vests fault
that this line is as sharply drawn be-
tween East and West as was the old
slavery line between North and South
,Sectionalism is the natural out
growth Of a robber tariff When the
late Gov. Johnson of Minnesota said
that the West was organizing against
the East to resist tariff robbery, he
merely voiced an economic truth.
The West is fighting for basic prin-
ciples of American equality. Eastern
protection" interests are fighting to
hold the great West in tariff chains.
This kind of sectionalism must con-
tinue to grow as long as tariff robbery
exists under cloak of law.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1909-12-07

At least three-fourths of the voters
in this country know that the Payne
Aldrich tariff is betrayal of political
good faith and violation of party
promises; that, with TIE exception of
print paper and dozen or so other
articles, no effort was made to ascer-
tain the difference between home and
foreign cost of production. The voters
know. also. that when the inquiry was
made no attention was paid to the in
formation obtained and that Congress
voted blindly on the bill under the
dictation of a boss in each house The
facts are so notorious that the tariff
cannot sleep during the coming session
of Congress. Efforts to drive the in
surgents out of the Republican party
have made it necessary for them to
keep that issue very much alive.

TERRoRIzE AFRICAN LIFE.
Driver Ants Can Destroy All Cren-
lures in Their Line of March.


Driver Ants Can Destroy All Cren-
lures in Their Line of March.
Most terrible insects are the "driv.
err ants of West Africa. They are
so called, says Spare Moments, be-
cause they drive before them on the
march all other living creatures. No
animal is able to withstand them. No
beast, however formidable, dares to
cross their track, and they will de-
stroy in single night all the pigs
and fowls on a farm. The huge
iguana lizards fall victims to them,
as do all other reptiles. 1t is said
that they begin their attack on the
snake by biting it's eyes and SO blind
ing the prey which, instead of crawl
ing away, writhes hopelessly in one
spot. Natives of Africa assert that
when the great python has crushed
its captive in its folds it does not
devour it at once, but makes a cir
cult of at least a mile in diameter in
order to see whether an army Of
driver ants is on the march in the
neighbcrhood. If SO, it glides off and
abandonS it's prey, which will soon
be eaten by the ants. If any army
of these ants approaches village the
entire population is compelled to fly.
Sometimes the people may be obliged
to take to the water in order to SAT-
themselves The insects travel in tho
night and on cloudy days, because
they are quickly killed by the direct
rays of the sun. Should the sun
come out while they are making a
journey, they construct a continuous
arch over their path out of earth
agglutinated by fluid excreted from
their months. In cloudy weather an
arch for the protection of the march
ing workers is constructed of the
bodies of the larger soldier ants,
whose extended jaws, long legs and
protecting antennae, INTERVENING,
form sort of network. In case of
an alarm the arch Is instantly broken,
and the insects which composed it
join other soldiers on the TANKS of
the line, who seem to be acting as
scouts, running about furiously in pur-
suit of the enemy. The alarm over,
the arch is renewed and the army
marches on as before.

To XIII WeeviI.

The Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean
and Farmer has been asked how to
kill weevil in wheat, and it gives the
following method:
Weevil in grain in bins can be de-
stroyed by the use of carbon bisul-
phate, liquid which readily vapor
ICES in the open air, 1t is compare
lively cheap and comes in sealed tin
cans and can be purchased at drug
stores. In using. pour into shallow
pans at the top Of the grain bin, and
close tightly all doors or other open
ings while the liquid is vaporizing
Do the work in the daytime, when no
lantern or artificial light viii be nee
essary, for the vapor of carbon bisul-
phide is highly infammable and ex-
plosive, and there is danger of seri-
Gus fire when burning flame is
brought into its presence. For the
same reason do not smoke pipe or
cigar when the liquid Is poured into
the pans. The yapor is also highly
poisonous, hence one should hastily
leave the bin as soon as the work is
done and not re-enter till after the
vapor has done its work and the bin
been thoroughly aired for several
hours The vapor is heavier than air
and settles among the grain, killing
all insects in its reach. One treat
ment is effective.

No Central Bank.

The Sun will always oppose a CEN
trail bank of Issue. Such bank is
intended by the monetary commission.
The policy of that body as now for
mally disclosed by Senator Aldrich
points to no other contamination.
1t is our conviction that a central
bank of Issue bearing the same rela-
ton to the money of this country that
the Banks of France and England bear
to the money of those countries would
prove a national evil.
This country is additionally and
temperamentally unsuited to such an
institution If Mr.. Aldrich and his
associates by their united genius can
fashion a central bank whose func-
tons and powers shall be purely auto
matte and mechanical, well and good.
But such a bank with us is impos-
sibie
We have developed no class in Amer
lea from which we could create or re-
cruit the administration and control
of such an institution, while to iso-
late it from our political life is hope
less.
We wish it were otherwise. 1t is a
national misfortune that we cannot
create bank of issue, regulation and
control like the Bank of England. But
it is misfortune to which we are
habituated and which is an accepted
condition of our economic existence.
1t might be possible in time, but
that time is remote,
The temperament, the political
genius and the geography of our coun-
try assure us that the creation of such
an institution would lead inevitably to
disaster graver and more far-reaching
than that which our recurrent panics
and speculative commissions entail.
They constitute an evil, but it is a
negligible evil compared with the sim
lister possibilities of another Bank of
the United States.
n a country of vast wealth where
there is not a dollar of money for
which dollars worth of gold cannot
be had there must, from the operation
of natural forces, presently develop a
system or a habit whereby the mini
mum of physical mobility of actual
money shall be combined with the
maximum of stability and liquidity of
credit. That end can be attained, and
in our belief will be attained, without
the injection of any Federal dogma of
any kind-New York Sun.
