country only pay G750,000. While the
workers pay the vast sum of G119,-
500, 900 the ground lords pay less than
| a single million, because they are as
sessed in accordance with a valuation
passed in the year 1892. Though their
property has increased more than 1000
per cent, in value. they are paying on
a valuation passed more than 200 years
ago. The ground lords extract upward
of 5000, 000,0 0 per annum for permit
ting the people to live and work or
their C?) land, both city n coun-
try, and yet the middle>class workers,
in income tax alone. contribute to the
government of the country forty-one
times more than the ground lords. On
the other hand the people in customs
and excise duties alone contribute
G64. 700, 900. which is e~ighty-stven
times more than the ground lords.
The entire land of the country is lit
orally in the control of a handful Of
people. Taking England and Wales

OF agricultural enthusiasm will not do for this

very often simply disgust the aspiring farmer

The report OF the Department OF Agriculture OF
Ontario says: "Of all the money expended for
education in Ontario there s no department that
has brought such large returns as the money ex-
pended by the Department Of Women's Institutes.
for the reason that when a woman Is educated
she educates her whole family" State Institute
Director T. B. Parker makes much the same
comment on the work In North Carolina. Instead
OF only one State In the South with women's insti-
tutes at this time there should be such Institutes
In every one. We hope women readers In
every State will agiate II and put their husbands
to agtating in behalf Of these invaluable agencies
of progress.
The big fact which many farmers overlook
when they first try the weeder is that II Is not in
tended to cultivate the grass and weeds but tn
kill them before they come up. II you lie; the
weeds and grass get rooted. you may have to re-
sort to expensive hand-hoeing after all. The
weeder and harrow should always be used before
you think you need them the object being to kin
the weeds and grass while they are sproutng II
you let them take root 1, is like giving your enemy
a big stick to hit you over the head with. Tho
only safe way Is to work the grass before 1t gets
big enough for you to see It.

 ing as we propose" he said, and it may easily be productive of the greatest good.
 The democratic party has just achieved a great victory. This vic tory is but prelim nary to a bigge- fight two years hence. Our party is big enough and broad enough not to be afraid to get together and talk things over. We should and can profit by keeping in close touch with one dnothersz Dy keeping the senti- ment and feeling Of the people, not only in our own section of the coun- try, but in all others as well. We want to help the party get together. and stay together, on democratic prin- ciples that VII command the respect and support of the people of the country. We recognize the danger .of a conference. We know that a certain kind Of conference might be held that would do more harm than good. I am myself opposed to one that win even admit of such a possi-
