all and end-all of life, would learn
from the most widely read and
oldest of books that true wisdom
which teaches that it is we'll tc
have neither great poverty nor
great riches. Worst of all is it to
have great poverty and great riches
side by side in constant contrast.
Nevertheless, even this contrast
can be accepted if men are con-
vinced that the riches are accumu-
lated as the result of great service
rendered to the people as whole,
and if their use is regulated in the
interest of the whole community.
The movement which has be-
come SO strong during the past
few years to secure on behalf of
the Nation both an adequate
supervision of and an effective
taxation of vast fortunes, so far AS
their business use is concerned, is
a healthy movement. 1t aims to
replace sullen discomfort, restless
pessimism, and evil preparation
for revolution, by an aggressive,
healthy determination to get to
the bottom of our troubles and
remedy them. To halt in the
movement, as those blinded men
wish who care only for the immed-
late relief from all obstacles which
would thwart their getting what is
not theirs, would work wide-reach-
ing damage. Such halt would
turn away the energies of the en-
ergetic and forceful men who de-
sire to reform matters, from a
legitimate object into the channel
of bitter and destructive agitation.
The reader of Prince Kropotkin's
Memoirs must be struck by the
damage wrought to Russia by the
unwise opponents of all reform,
who, by opposing every sensible
movement for betterment, turned
the energies of the young men,
who under happier conditions
would have worked for rational
betterment, into the channels of q
useless and destructive revolution

more dangerous criminal than any
of the ordinary types of criminals
can possibly be. If his fortune is

we'll and good; he deserves respect
and reward for such service-al-
though we much remember to paw
our homage to the service itself.
and not to the fortune which is the
mere reward of the service; but
when his fortune is passed on to
some one else, who has not rend-
cred the service, then the Nation
should impose heavily graded
progressive inheritance tax, a
singularly wise and unobjection-
able kind of tax. It would be a
particularly good thing if the tax
bore heaviest on absentees.

Scotty Philip cut his oat crop
the first of the week. They made
fair crop, but on account of the
hot weather of ten days ago they
did not yield as heavily as was ex-
pected earlier in the season. This
is the first harvesting we have
heard of this season. Stock Grow

Now that the crops are ripening
we would advise all those having
exceptionally good grain and vege-
gables to save some for exhibition
at the county fair, the state fair
and the Gas Belt Exposition, as
well rs to have on hand to display
>for the benefit of visitors. We re-
that there is not someone employed
by the county for the purpose of
gathering together creditable ex-
hibit for the purpose of advertis-
ing our resources, but as nothing
of this kind has been done it is
left for the individuals to do the
best they can. Stanley county
should be in line for first premium
at the state fair this year. but it
takes lot of work to get up an
exhibit that will score the neces-
sary points, on account of the re-
quirements in regard to the num-
ber of varieties, naming them
properly and seeing that full ex-
hibit is got together. Samples of

If the proof Of the pudding is the
eating the barn shown in the illus
tration may safely be called a model,
for it has worked with the greatest
satisfaction for the past dozen years.
A very little study of the plan of the
building will show that the dominant
ideas in the structure were light and

times ewes have been kept IN here all

late in the spring, ard their condition
has been entirely satisfactory.
The building faces to the southeast
and therefore gets much sunshine in
the short winter days. The original

Hard thinking is just as essential
to success as hard work.
withdrawing of the stables is a
good preventive of deisease.
1t is'a poor idea to think that any

Soil underlaid with limestone or dry
sandstone makes the best sheep
ground.
Glover is our cheapest hog food and
every farmer should plan to use all he
can of it.
In selecting a sheep pasture avoid
low, damp ground, because sheep will
not thrive on it.
While the hog is considered the
most filthy of animals, yet no kind Of
animal appreciates pure water
than do hogs.
&" The colt which is handled right and
carefully trained will never have to be
broken, in the sense that word is so
often used.
Better send the pigs to bed hungry
than to send them into a wet nest with
full stomachs. The results are the
same and the cost less.
A horse gets thirsty Just as often
as you do. Drive around to the well
and give him a drink during the after
moons. He will appreciate It.
Good roads are an important fac
tor in, bringing the town and city

When given a chance hogs will get

ture. But be sure that the pasture
has something in it when you turn
them in 1t.

GRAIN FIELDS FOR PASTURE
Too Close Grazing and Tramping Of
Ground by Cattle or Sheep In
lures Future Yield.

Wheat and rye sown for grain
should not be pastured by cattle or
sheep, as the close grazing and the
tramping of the ground will injure the
future yield of both grain and straw.
If the growth Is rank, lambs and cows
may be allowed on the field for a few
days. When ground is dry, but close,
pasturing must be avoided. The ex-
p%erience of practical farmers is
against grazing or cutting either
wheat or rye. however rank may be
the growth.
Rye. own for early spring feed. no
matter how great may be the growth
in the fall, should not be pastured.
The same holds true in regard to pas
turing crimson clover and English
rape. Timothy and red top meadows
should not be pastured late In the fall
and during the winter months.

The next step is to set up a revolv-

Oh the pole should have an iron pin
driven into it, and a hole bored in the
crosspiece at the bottom, into which
the pin fits, to hold the pole in place
as 1t is turned. A hole is also bored
in the upright pole high enough to in
sert a stick of hardwood or iron bar
to. turn the pole so that the arms
above swing under the derrick and
out again as the hogs are dressed and
hung thereon. The dressed carcass
is lowered onto one of the arms from
the derrick. he tackle removed, and
the hog swung around out of the way.
In this way four hogs are provided
for without any lifting. If five hogs
are killed, the last one can be left
hanging on the tackle.

EDITOR WAS FOXY

Chamberlain-Editor Knight OF the
Wendte Herald, published at the lit

had a strenuous experience recently,
one Of the incident of which was the
firing of four or five rifle bullets into
the printing Office, which also serves
as his sleeping quarters by a bad man,
who now has been lodged in the coun-
ty Jail.
The name of the prisoner is Patrick
Murphy. After drinking a pint Of
whisky the other evening he wanted
more, and, going to the office Of Ed
tor knight he demanded that the
newspaper man give him a drink. Not
having any whisky among his effects
the editor was compelled to turn
down the request OF his visitor, WHO
by that time was in a bad state OF
intoxication. The visitor then demand
ed that some jewelry be given him
out OF a case which he noticed BAL
the editor.
Editor knight refused this request
also, when the crazed visitor drew a
six-shooter and threatened to shoot
the newspaper man. knight grabbed

directing him aim toward the bed
where he supposed the editor was
sleeping. But knight had gone to an
other part OF the building for the
night and because Of this fortunate
circumstance the bullets missed him.

posse, which soon was organized, but
they lost his trail. The fugitive af-

Selecting Layinc Stock,

There is no doubt that certain
characteristics should be looked for
in a good laying hen. She should be
low set and stand on a pair of shanks
fairly wide apart. The head should
be nice and clean cut, with a full,
bright eye. In other words. hens
should show feminine character and
not wrinkled and sunken features.
Hens of the latter type should be dis
carded; In short, masculinity in the
hen is a bad sign. "A hen with a
large capacity for food, l.. e., has a
large crop, is usually a profitable bird
to feed. The smaller the sack of food
she takes to roost at night the fewer
eggs will she produce.
