EdgefeId farmers pay such prices
and make both ends meet? We
do not believe they can. The
indications are that western corn
will be still higher next year, so the
wise farmer will plant his best land
in corn, making the area sufficient
to insure yield that will sup
ply the farm. As bacon, lard and
hams will continue to command
very high prices, sufficient corn
should be made in order to supply

System in Farming.

Haphazard farming don't pay.
No difference how hard man may
work with his hands, if he does not
think and. properly direct his ener-
gies he will always be in. hard cir
cumstances. In no occupation do
brain and Drawn work together to
such advantage as on the farm. The
intelligent farmer has system to
follow. He does not lay his clevises
and wrenches on stumps or thr ow
them in the fence corner and forget
where he left them. He has place
for everything and keeps everything
in its place. He realizes that it takes
less time to put it in its place while
he has it in his hand than to hunt
for it when he doesn't know where
it is. He don't break up his ground
when it is too wet, and tries to avoid
putting it off until it is too dry. He
makes his plans far ahead and tries
to work to them. He takes the ag-
ricultural papers and keeps abreast
of the times. When he gets a good
idea he puts it into execution even
when it pulls him out of an old rut
in which he has been travelling for
years. He recognizes the utility of
main strength but has no compro-
misses to make with awkwardness.
He knows that there are new things
being discovered every day of bene-
fit to the farmer, and is ready to
accept what is practical for his
location and condition. The differ
ence between the intelligent farmer
and the one who farms on the
principle of main strength and
awkwardness" is the same as that
between success and failure. The
Farmers Union stands for intelli-
gent farming.-Home and Farm.

In Menoriam.

In fond remembrance of John V.
Cooper, Jr., who died January 4th,
aged 4 months and II days:
Thou hast left us little brother,
And your place can ne'er be filled,
Your dear cradle sits here empty,
And your sweet voice is stilled.
How your bright face seems to
haunt us,
All the long days more and more,
Darling, now our hearts are bleeding,
And our Weeping made them sore,
Though You left us little darling,
Ouriloss is heavens gain,
And we hope some day to meet you,
Where no sorrows known, nor
pain.
May your angel hands e'er guide us,
Closely to our Savior's home,
Where again we hope to see you,
And from JOY shall never roam.
Oh! we long to meet you, baby,
On that bright celestial shore,
There we'll know no pain or parting,
Well be with you forever more.

Some Winter Farm Work That
Pays Big Profits.

Now is a good time to do the
ditching which is needed and which
it is practicable to do. Much land
is now almost valueless for lack of
proper drainage, and much of the
ditching which has been done has
been at too great cost and is not eff
fective. The average spade ditch
with its narrow, deep channel, and
its high banks, which preventsurfac
water entering it, is made at too
great cost and is then of little val
ue. A good plow, scraper, two
or three mules and two men will
do more and better ditching at half
the cost than dozen men will do
with spades and shovels.
If we must have open bitches
for time many of us must still de-
pend on these for surface
drainage-let us build shall
low wide bitches, with the plow and
scraper and carry the dirt into near
by depressions rather than pile it up
along the sides of the ditch to keep,
the surface water from entering the
ditch after we have gone, to theiex-
pense of digging it. These shallow
bitches not only cost less and drain
the land better, but they serve as
turn rows, may be crossed with any
sort of machinery and consequently
easily kept clean.-Raleigh, IN. c.

STATS CASE SUDDENLY
ENDS, DECREE FOR WIFE
Mrs stats Secures Twelve Hundred
Dollars AIfmony without OPRO-
sftfon from Husband.

FREMONT. Neb.. June Especial -
The stats divorce case came TO an unex-
pected termination IN the district court
this afternoon. The defendant, Charles
Stats. withdrew the big bunch Of deposit
tons which are said to be about as sensa-
tional as any ever filed in any court and
made no defense to his wife's charge Of
cruelty. She was given a decree, with only
81. zoe alimony. The attorneys and court
officials and one witness were the only
persons present in court beside the par
ties.
About two years ago Stats filed a sensa-
tional petition against his wife for a d.
vorce. She answered with the same kind
of charges. When the case finally came
on for trial neither party appeared and
Judge Hollenbeck dismissed the suit.
few months after Mrs. stats began
suit for divorce. being represented by the
same lawyer who had represented her hus-
band in the first case. Stats attorney
took vigorous exceptions to this proceeding
and another attorney was substituted for
her. Voluninous dispositions were taken in
Missouri. Iowa and Colorado by the defen-
dant and until this afternoons proceedings
a long drawn out trial of the most sensa-
tional kind was expected.
The defendant is a wealthy Saunders
county farmer and his wife belongs to an
old and prominent family. Until proceed
ings were commenced two years ago both
stood high in the community.
