Ell dia siguiente era dfa de

curiosos Sc paraban ante dos
estacas plantadas en- ell centro
del mercado. -.-.-..
A una de elias estaba atado
un caballo rechonch6n, cuya
lustrosa piel cllya hermosa den
tadura y cuyos musculos bien
dibujados, demostraban bue-
ma salud, juventud y vigor.
Al pie de la otra estaca dor

con POGO pelo. y
En- la primera habia un car

Ante ell perro, las gentes Sc

MANUAL FOR ARID FARMERs.

An important ADDITION to agricultural
literature has just been issued by the
Dry Farming Congress in the form of
Handbook of Information which con-
tains the official report of the proceed
ings of the third session of the organiza-
ton which was known as the Trans
Missouri Dry Farming Congress prior
to the convention at Cheyenne, Wyo., last
February. This report is a comprehen-
sive review of the work of the Congress
and contains, in addition to the adj
dresses and papers delivered before the
convention at Cheyenne, the complete re-
port of Statistician W. T. Olin in which
review of the actual results of arid
farming throughout the world is given.
together with suggestions and recon-
mendations to arid farmers that will be
found invaluable to those hardy settlers
who are invading the public lands of the
West and Transforming the former So
called desert into productive farms.
The contents of the book are conven-
iently classified and indexed. The book,
issued as handbook Of information for
farmers is sent without extra charge to
the members Of the Congress in good
standing and may be purchased by 9TH
ers interested in the subject. Those who
desire the handbook may send 81 to Sec
rotary John 4. Burns of the Congress for
membership. The members receive not
only the handbook but the semi-monthly
Dry Farming Congress Bulletin, the Of
fetal dry farming" newspaper.

WEAK SPOTS IN ORANGES

The Grange today is the most pow
erful organization in the country, says
the Lewiston, Me-, Journal. It's inf1u-
ence extends into every section, and
as a factor in the education Of the
masses it has never had an equal. In
this respect it stands by the side or
the public school, only with a broader
outlook and wider sweep OF horizon
It's membership includes the best
blood among the farming classes, and
this has a more significant meaning
when we consider that the rural tele-
phone, trolley car and free postal
delivery have practically wiped out
the distinction between country and
city life 1t means that today the
average farmer is fully the the peer
in intelligence and scope of capacity
of the business or professional man.
1t means that he is a man OF educa-
ton and general culture as we'll as
tiller of the soil. 1t means, in fact,
that he is a man in all that name i'm
plies and therefore fully capable OF
being a leader among men.
The Agricultural College with it's
experiment station has raised farming
to the dignity of profession. To now
succeed as a tiller of the soil, the man
must not only be well edlcated, but
he must also have fine executive ca
pacity. Intensive farming is the order
of the day. No laggard has any place
on the modern farm, and slowly but
surely all such are being eliminated
from the business.
In this great transformation of the
agricultural industry the Grange has
borne a prominent part. It's leaders
have been the men of most pronounced

the homeseekers hither to investigate
the situation for themselves.
1--WE don't need the mere land specu-
lator, nor the man who is always
looking for something for nothing.
The class of people that the Yakima
valley wants is the thrifty homeseeker,
possessed of some means, and who can
adapt himself to intensive farming.
For this class of homeseekers the
Yakima country offers opportunities
equal, if not superior, to any other
section on the Pacific Coast"

A FEW MORE NEW ORANGES


Oranges to report, but then, we gen.
orally have one to report for the sum-
mer months, SO we need not feel that
the deputies are all dead, for we will
probably make up for this small num-
Der when it comes fall and winter.
You will notice that the new ones
all come from one locality, and are
all sent in by the one deputy. Brother
Smith is the only deputy that is out
in the field now, and he is doing splen-
did work.

Among the states of our Organiza-
ton Washington has to take second
or third seat, as Michigan had organ
lied 10 to our Is, and Pennsylvania
had organized and re-organized IL to
our Is, but we had larger number
than Ohio, which had but 13 to her
credit, and the rest had much lower
numbers. Comparing our population,
we are ahead by good margin, as
those states have so much greater
farm population than we.
Our organization is having steady
and substantial growth, and the Ma
tional Grange is intending to do good
deal of work in the Western states
this fall and winter, with view to
making strong organizations in those
that are already organized, and bring
ing in one or two more to the circle
If the Grange is used as it may be,
it is a great help to the farmer mem
Der and the family in general, giving
them more money to spend in making
home attractive, and in enlightening
the members so that their power OF
enjoyment is greatly intensified.

Holland has a plan by which able.

Holland has a plan by which able.
bodied paupers are made to earn an
honest living There is tract of
public land, containing 5000 acres,
which is divided into six model farms,
and to one of these is sent the poor
person applying for public relief. If
he learns agriculture he is allowed to
to rent a small farm for himself
and be what is called free farmer.
Every pauper who is thus reclaimed
to honest regular industry is so much
gain to the state. There is also fore
ed labor colony, where beggars and
Migrants are sent and made to do farm
and other work whether they like it
or not.

influence in their respective communi-
ties and contributed their full share
in the uplifting of society. They have
been the men of keen intelligence,
high morals and most excellent judg-
ment Such men are always natural
leaders, and on all moral questions
this influence has been undisputed.
On the other hand, it is equally I'M
disputed that in all matters pertaining
to governmental, state or municipal
leadership their influence has been
practically nothing. They have stood
back and allowed the village and city
lawyers to take control of their af-
fairs and make all laws. Organized
through the Grange for action on
moral questions, they have remained
unorganized in all that pertains to
their material welfare.
This is the one weak spot in the
Grange today and it is here that the
Order needs the greatest strengthen
ing. There is no good reason why
the farmer should be compelled to pay
the merchant and the professional
man whatever price they may choose
to place upon their goods and their
services, while he is compelled to take
whatever they may choose to give for
the products of his farm. There is
no equity in such a system, but for
this condition no one is more to blame
than the farmer himself.

what is a farmer, and when. The
sheriff thinks a man is not al farmer
when he is not farming, but the SUI

to consider the question of what con-
stitutes an agriculturist in good and

WATER FACILITIES.

In summer especially and at all times
the quantity and quality of water is regu-
lated on most farms by the we'll and the
pumping equipment. Disease and shrink
ing in weight affects all live stock on the
farm when the water Is lacking. To
provide deep wells with never failing pure
water and to do the pumping, the ma
chinery and equipment of the American
Well Works, Aurora, ILL.,, Is always ade-
quate. Our readers who are needing
such facilities are losing money every
week until they are supplied. All who are
interested should write for the large IL
Illustrated catalogue of the American Well
Works, Aurora, ILL.,, mentioning this pa
per as having advised you to write.
