The Japanese-American Weekly above
quoted IL perfectly frank in the matter, Its
editorial appeal says: This accusation
against the Japanese is known all over the
world, and the natural consequence is the
total distrust Of their words and acts. We
deny this as an entirety, but at the same
time we are often kept IN silence and even
bound at times to admit IL in part. A few
days ago the writer was asked on this point
by q gentleman in Newark who said he
heard a complaint to the effect that the
Japanese stole a patented invention and
even hid the original name Of the manu-
f~acturer Of the machinery. Similar com
plants have been often circulated to and
fro and 1t now seems hat there is 4 sys-
tematic campaign on In this country to
deprecate Japanese commercial morality,
though we are at a loss to discover the
motive for this campaign. The above men
toned complaint may or may not be true,
bur the distrust of Japanese in this country
and exists. The writer also
found many cases where he cannot defend
his own countrymen, but he had also found
similarly dishonest Americans in many In
stances in his personal dealings. We wish,
but unfortunately cannot expect, all Japan
csc to be like Buddha, just as much as We
cannot expect all Americans to be like
Christ. No country or countries nave a
monopoly Of everything good, but every
nation Of people has good as we'll as bad
just as there is night wherever there is
day"
Omaha daily bee., 1909-11-15

In concluding his appeal the editor claims
that his countTymen's shortcomings are
due to their ignorance Of modern business
methods, adding:
in short. they are not educated enough
to know what is commercial honesty and
wise enough to digest the principle OF
honesty is best policy The men who be-
lieve in this proverb may not be honest
in It's true sense, and they are always la
BILE to become dishonest II the dishonesty
should prove to be the best money-making
method. We, however, do not want to draw
a line between the two limits OF honesty,
but we are anxious to have our people
well educated up to the standard of the
western idea OF commercial morality, the
lack OF which means absolute distrust.
Herein lays our appeal TO the japanese
commercial delegation which Is now In
this city. The members Of the delegation
are more or less moderniEed representa-
tlves and therefore they may not learn
much from their present trip to this coun-
try, but we earnestly hope hat they will
induce their friends and business juniors
who are stin sticking to old business meth
DDS in their small field to come to this
country and learn the business enterprises
which are well systematized and practioed,
that they may attain immensely greater
perspective than they now have in the
island empire. First OF all, they must learn
to spend a few dollars TO make business
profitable. They must sacrifice something
to win their admirers

Editor Nakamura, although admitting the
fault OF his countrymen, naturally argues
In their defense. He quotes from a speech
by DR.. L. Leon, who is connected with sew
eral Japanese publishing houses:
II can safely say that 1 have pretty well
sized up the American opinion OF the
Japanese. The people Of the east, Massa-
chusetts in particular, are almost in love
with Japanese, but the people Of the middle
states, including Chicago, Milwaukee and
Cleveland, regard Japanese worse than the
serpent, yet they admit hat they have
never met Japanese in considerable num-
bers and have only heard of them. This is
due TO their ignorance. / saw a manu-

While the authorship of this popular
hymn has been generally attributed t.

Sankey, the singing companion of Dwigh
L. Moody. The poem was unknown unit

There were ninety and nine that safely
In the shelter of the fold,
But one was out on the hills away,
Far off from the gates Of gold;
Away on the mountains, cold and bare
Away from the shepherds tender care.
Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and
nine;
Are they not enough for thee?
But the Shepherd answered: "One of

Has wandered away from me.
And tho the way be rough and steep,

But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed
Nor how dark the night which the
Lord went thro'
Ere he found the sheep that was
lost.
Out in the desert he heard it's cry;
Twas sick, and helpless, and ready

But all thro' the mountains, thunder

the friendship Of the vaster world oil
the spirit, out Of the feeling that life
lies beyond this clay-environed life OF
ours, that spirit to spirit may speak.
The infinite one loses awesome males.
ty In winning affection, and, where nc
voice is heard nor words are framed,
the heart goes out in true prayer, in
communion and aspiration
Prayer is friendship with the In
finite, the reaching out of the spirit
of man after the life of the spirit be-
yond us, the search for a sympathy
deep and broad enough to feel with
all our needs, to pity and be patient
and encouraging when we can hope
for no such help from those who are
limited by living on our present level
Prayer is the hearts hunger for
communion, the life that is in us, that
life which seems to feel back before
the cradle and reach out beyond the
grave, seeking its own, calling for its
companions, deep calling unto deep
1t Is aspiration. 1t is as natural as
breathing. 1t cannot wait for times
and seasons, for 1t must be continuous.
Friendship would be a poor thing
II 1t never got beyond the privilege of
asking favors of the friend Yet how
many there are who talk of their af-
lection for an infinite friend who new
er seek communion with the friend ex-
cept to recite some tale of woe, to pre-
sent some series of needs, or prefer
some requests.
1t you measure prayer as you meas
ure business, by what you get out of
it. there is nothing strange in its emp
ttQess II 1t is merely a superstittous
act, performed to placate an imagi-
nary almighty adversary, the sooner
your life is free from such a soul-par-
alyzing habit the better.
No man ever prays until praying
rises from commercial petitioning to
simple intercourse of soul The world
Is barren place, bounded by empti-
ness behind and darkness before un-
less the deepest and best in us finds
touch with the life that envelopes all
our living, unless the soul within de-
f1es the limitations of science and
seeks its own atmosphere and inter,
course Of friendships.

pIirbt of Potatoes.

Fairly blight is potato disease
-hich causes more or less damage to
tbo crop every year. The trouble is
saost marked in unusually dry sea-
aons and is caused by fungus which
rows and spreads rapidly. The spores
e. this fungus when seen through g
r.,croscope have the appearance of
clubs They enter the vines and the
fret thing one notices is that the
leaves are turning yellow. The disease
;s likely to come during the first or
second week in July. 1t may be easily
rravented by spraying with Bordeaux
MIXTURE before the disease gets hold
m the crop. After it has a start 1t is
of no use to spray, because the spores
are already inside the vines.

oats a. q Poultry Food.


Oats make an excellent food for the
poultry, providing they are of the right
kind. The long, slim oat, with plenty
of husk or hull Is poor feed for any
thing but the plump, meaty oat IS a
good feed for all stock, including poul-
try
Hulled oats for young chickens after
they are three or four weeks old will
help them to make bone and muscle
faster than any other one feed, and
this Is the most desirable element at
this period Of growth.
For grown or feeding fowls we have
at most seasons of the year fed one
feed of oats daily with most satisfac-
tory results. We have fed some oats
after boiling them for fall and winter
1eedng, but they were of poor quality,
and the boiling was to soften the hulls
rather than because the boiling added
any other value to the oats feed itself.
Boiling is not necessary with good
oats except by way of variety in feed

To Cure kicking Cows.

To cure a kicking cow Is often diff
f1cult and tedious task, and unless
some method of restraining them
from kicking is adopted more loss
than profit may result through split
milk. The person milking also runs
considerable risk Of injury in some
form or other.
When the cause Of kicking can be
assigned to vice or an acquired bad
habit, the following little arrangement
will be found useful, and, at the same
time, simple, harmless, effective, mex
pensive and easily applied. A strap
about one inch wide should be buckled
around each hind leg little above the
hook sufficiently tight to compress the
hamstring.
The animal cannot kick, and If flies
are troublesome and cause her to
switch her tail, the best plan is to
either strap it to her leg or secure it
to one of the straps with piece of
cord. Use the straps every time the
animal Is MIXED, and after three
weeks or SO omit, to ascertain wheth-
er cure has been effected or not

bY LIE. Oe01SS OAh1h SSn'
Nothing shall be impossible unto
you.-Matthew IT: 20.
There Is a new flag at the top OF the
world. It pleases our vanity that 1t
is the Stars and Stripes, but 1t might
have been Dutch or English or Rus
sian, and the lesson would be the
same.
That new nag at the pole is mans
nag. 1t is more than national; 1t be-
longs to mankind. 1t stands for the
aspiring, bound-bursting. unconQuer-
able spirit of man. And it is fresh
illustration of the great phrase OF this
ancient scripture, which forbids US to
write the word Impossible" against
any undertaking.
Such is the first lesson of this new
achievement Who shall dare set linn
itation to man-flight or bounds to his
ambition, or brake to his soul? Not
only is it true that what man has done
he can do. He can do more, because he
is older and holder and better. Some
day he will ask a still greater thing
than Peary and Cook have asked or
won. He will push his banner to the
top of his own soul and claim change
of it's climate.
But what better off are we with a
haps, according to the testimony. Yon-
der Is no new territory worth annex
ing, no mines to work or furs to gath
er, or forests to cut. There Is the sat
asfaction of being able to say: 81 have
arrived" But there is more than that.
The results Of such defiant daring are
to be sought In man himself. He is
larger for having essayed so much.
His undertaking has helped to make
his soul,' as the French say. 1t Is
thus always. No pain or strain or
heroism is wasted II it leave a ode
post from the unseen" in the soul Of
man.
This latest triumph Is prophecy, too.
1t harbingers a day when earth shall
be one neighborhood-no North or
South, no East or West.
What the arctic explorer has done
for geography the lover Of mankind
shall yet do for his race. We are still
small, provincial, selfish. We are OPP
timists, according to the sarcastic sug-
gestion that IAN optimist is a man
who does not care what happens so
long as it does not happen to him.
But that day must pass, will pass, is
already passing. We are learning that
NO man liveth to himself or dieth to
himself; that every man has stake
In every other man on earth; that we
must open the world wide in order to
save our own hearthstones intact
Seven centuries before Christ a half
naked prophet glimpsed golden age
in which the wilderness and solitary
place shall be glad and the desert re-
joice and blossom as the rose and sor-
row and signing shall fee away"
That bright prophecy Is coming true.
don't know that Cook or Peary has
shortened the path to it's consumma-
ton But the new flag at the top Of
the world says that nothing worth
while is impossible.

PRAYER.
By Henry F. Cope

BY Henry Z. cope.
But thou when thou prayest, pray
to thy Father which is in secret
Matt, vi, 6.
No matter what a mans theories
tain to be the case that at some time
he will pray and quite likely that he
will pray almost habitually. 1t also
often happens that those who protest
most vigorously as to their faith in
prayer though often assuming the pos
lures and phrases Of prayer neverthe-
less actually pray least truly and eff
fectually.
To many prayer is a habit surviv-
ing superstitious practices. They them
selves really fear to go to sleep with
out praying lest they should thus of
fend the Deity and thus some terrible
calamity befall them. Perhaps from
childhood they have been taught with
foolish forms of prayer to beseech the
protection of heaven against a world
of demons.
So long as children are led to think
of their world as peopled with powers
of evil, spooks. COLLINS and bogies,
they readily and steadily pray to some
good power to ward off such evil be-
ings. especially during their sleeping
hours When you stop to think about
it. a great wrong is being done to
childhood by sending the little ones
to dreamland with their last words a
petition in regard to dying before they
wake.
Half of the petitions of the world
grow out of fear Men are afraid
either of the one they address or of
some other superhuman power or of
impending imaginary disaster. Still
other prayers grow out of sloth; men
ask for blessing on the crop they
are too lazy to cultivate or for the
bread they will not earn, or the vir-
tues they will not fight to win
1t is a good thing that many pray
ers remain unanswered. Doubtless
most petitions fail to secure the spe-
rife thing requested. This would be
an utterly Immoral world if a few
hasty or even fearful words could put
some of us at so great an advantage
over the rest, if prayer might give US
benefits unearned and undeserved.
There are higher levels of praying.
Tlsey grow out of the conception of

Many men are a good deal more
sure of the devil than of any divinity.
Table talk has much more to do
with character making than pulpit
talk.
You can as easily shut box of sun

A sincere man may get down on the

look them squarely in the face and
then blow them away.

the barrel of Bordeaux mixture. The
spraying can be done quite cheaply.
The cost of four sprayings is estimated
at $1.85 per acre. This includes the
cost of labor also. In Vermont a trial
was conducted by one hundred farm
ers to test the value of this spray. The
period covered five years, and the re-
suit was the increase of 20 per cent
in yield. The high value of Bordeaux
mixture as a preventive of early blight
has been proved many times, and
should not be overlooked by anyone
who expects to raise good crop of
potatoes.

Wedding one Improbable Cow.

Dairy farms are continually advanc-
ing in value, which should be regard
ed as the part of the profits. Grain
farming is hard on the land. Many
hard run grain farms have 'een
brought back to a good state of fertili-
ty by changing to cows.
With the case in test it will be pos
sible to weed out the poor cheese COWS
on the same principle that we have
used the Babcock butter test to weed
out the poor butter cows. Instead of
keeping COWS for cheese which aver
age 20 pounds of casein per 100
pounds of fat, we may breed cows that
will produce milk containing close to
10 pounds of casein for 100 pounds of
fat. We need to specialize in cheese
Just as intelligently and carefully as

Horses Increasinp In value.

A table has been compiled from the
statistics of the Census Bureau and
the Department of Agriculture, which
SHOWS that the rise in the market
value of horses has been out of all
proportion in the last fifteen years to
the increase in their number in the
United States. From 1893 to 1908 the
horse population so to speak, in
creased 3,785,00 or % per cent. In
the same period the gain in the num-
Der of human inhabitants was 21,979,-
900, or 33 per cent But the increase
in the value of the horses in this coun-
try was no less than 1876, 100000, or
SO per cent
These facts will astonish many per-
sons who have supposed that the
growth Of the automobile interest has
been very adverse to the horse breed
ers and to the market demand for
horses. On the contrary, the prices
obtained for good horses, especially
for heavy draft animals of blood and
stamina, have risen far beyond the
hopes Of horse dealers a few years
ago. Horses are worth about so per
cent more In proportion to their num-
Der than they were in 1898.
