Where the One-HOrSe Farmer
Loses Ont.

=
Says cne of our correspondents: II
rarely find that my two-horse ten
ants more than double the crops of my
one-horse tenants on double the land
and with double the stock" There
fore, he concludes that onc-horse farm
ing is best. 1t seems never to have
occurred to him that the labor of the
man i'm the case is worth anything
Does not any man who Will think for
a minute know that if the man with
two horses does produce only twice
as much as the man with one horse, he
is far ahead of him in what he receives
for his own labor. Even if a mans la
Dor is worth no more than that of a
horse, there are two workers iii the
one horse layout and only three in
the two-horse Hence an increase of
30 per cent in gross returns will even
matters up. Now, there isn't a farmer
i'm the South who doesn't regard his
labor as OF more value than that or a
mule, and, of course, he is right about
it, There may be. as we have said,
times when man must do his work
with one horse, but we can not see
why any man should be willing. for
that reason, to consider himself "one
horse farmer" and be content to re-
main so. 1t isn't a matter of pretty
theories or ingenious arguments. but,
as we have said. mere matter OF
mathematics. The more horses the
larger the farmers earnings in prac-
ticaly every state in the Union and
the fewer horses to the man. the more
expensive the work done whenever
other conditions are equal. Against
such incontrovertible facts as these,
all the theories of those who argue
for one-horse farming amount to very

More Poultry For the Farms.

No careful observer can fail to note
the increased interest in poultry rails
ing in the South during the last year
Like all other lines of live stock rails
ing, it is especially receiving atten-
tion in the area being invaded by the
boil weevil 1t is simply astonishing
what capacity this little bug-the boil
weevil-has for making men think
and even act. All lines of live stock
are receiving more attention than ev-
er before and poultry is coming in
for its share Of increased attention.
But, strange as it may seem the great
er part Of this increase in poultry in
terest is among the people in the
towns and to q much less degree
among the farmers.
| This appears to us wrong. Surely
! there is no place where the oppor
tunities for raising strong, healthy
poultry at n minimum of cost, are so
good as out on the farms. Not only
is this true as regards the production
of utility poultry-eggs and birds for
| food-but it is especially true of the
production of fancy poultry and birds
for breeding.
BY much care, constant work and
intelligent feeding and management,
good poultry is produced on the small
lots in or near the towns; but it re-
quires more intelligence and poultry
knowledge to raise good birds under
such conditions than it does to ac-
complish the same results on the farm
Why then, is most of our best poultry
raised in the small towns or near the
cities?
The range which may be given the
birds on the farm, except perhaps dur
ing the breeding season. is almost un-
| limited and this means variety of
feed, such as poultry requires, and
ample exercise, two things most cs-
sential to the economical production
of vigorous birds.
1t re quires some knowledge to
raise good poultry and this can only
be obtained by reading and studying
the experience of others as set down
in poultry journals or agricultural pa
pers and in books, and by actual per-
sonal experience in the handling of
the birds. In the past this has heen
thought too small business for the
farmer, but if that is still the idea, we
insist that the women and children
should be given an opportunity to add
this additional industry to the farm.
Nor would we limit them to the pro-
duction of eggs and the growing of
birds to be used as food; but would
insist that where the inclination exists
they be given chance to produce the
best, to be sold as breeders, or eggs
to be sold for hatchng-Raleigh On.

Have Gone Up Because of Excessive
SelIlng-Bulls Expect Higher DeyeI.
New York, March 10.-Though in
the forepart of the week prices of
cotton gave away they have lately re-
covered, mainly because of the re-
cent OVERRIDING of the short side. The
short interest in October had become
especially large and q hot wave in
Texas the other day led many of these
shorts to cover with precipitancy
that resulted i'm sharp advance.
Bulls postulate higher prices in the
belief that every bale available will be
wanted before the end OF the season
and that August 81 will see visible
supply in the country nearly half
million bales smaller than at the same
time last year. no matter what com
plants may be made about trade now
or In the meantime. Lancashire, for
that matter, is reporting rather bet
ter business; silver has advanced in
Dondon and the Bank of England has
reduced it's rate Of discount.
Still are Bullish.
Meantime bull interests appear to
be very bullish on May and October,
even if they are short Of July and
August. A leading mining man is still
bull, large Texas operator who
has been here a year is as firm as
ever in his adherence to the bull side
Large merchants are believed to be
strongly of the opinion that the May
option is destined to reach much
higher prices; spinners are buying to
some extent and the exports thus far
this season are about 1,750,000 bales
larger than during a like period last
season. At the same time many be-
lieve that the crop is not more than
100000 bales larger than the last one,
if it is that.

Predict Small Crop.

There are those indeed who think
that the final ginning report on March
20 will reveal a crop this season not
much over 1l,75O,000 bales of spin
nable cotton. Considerable stress is
laid on this condition. On the other
hand, trade for the most part is dull
spot markets seem sluggish; yarns are
depressed some mills in Georgia and
the Caroiinas of late have been re-
ported in an embarrassed condition !;
the failure of cotton firm in BARGE
Iona. for 100000 was reported the
other day the calling of an extra ses-
sion of congress for April 4 is more or
less of disturbing factor in the opin-
ion OF some since it may cause more
or less interruption to trade and af-
ford new opportunity for anti-op-
tion legislation.
rhe massing of 10000 troops on the
Mexican frontier is also cited as a
possible disturbing factor. Now and
then some of the big bulls have ap-
rarently been free sellers on bulges.
The general tone of late, however, has
been more encouraging to the believers
in higher prices.

FRITZ FAMILY
INJURED IN AN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Prominent Blakesburg Resi-

Bruises When Train Hits
Auto Near Cedar.

Struck by a Northwestern switch
engine near Iowa Junction, four miles
southwest of Cedar. as they were
crossing the tracks in an automobile
about 10:3O last night, Henry Fritz
and family Of Blakesburg were seri-
ously injured in the crash that fol-
lowed. Their escape from death is
onthing short OF miraculous as the
automobile was strewn along the
track, pile OF debris. Mrs. Henry
Fritz was perhaps the most badly IN
jured OF the company, receiving q
broken shoulder and several bad cuts
In the face. For time she lay IN
conscious and it was thought that she
had been killed. Her. son Earl Fritz,
sustained the fracture Of his collar
bone and his left arm. Mr.. and Mrs.
w. w. Barnes. parents Of Mrs. Fritz
were also painfully injured, the for
mer suffering terrible blow upon his
hip that paralyzed the member Mrs.
barnes was badly cut about the head,
shoulders and arm. Mr.. Fritz is badly
bruised.
The party was returning from the
state fair and took the wrong road at
Cedar. The switch engine was back
Ing down the hill from pushing a
train up and Mr., Fritz states it had
no tail light and did not whistle or
ring the bell. Coming from behind
cornfield at this crossing the engine
was not visible and the occupants of
the auto did not know Of its presence
until they were struck. 1t hurled them,
machine and all into a huddled mass
In the ditch eight feet below.
DR.. d. C. Brockman was hurried to
the scene in the automobile OF F. II.
Reno and attended the injured. They
were taken to their home In Blakes-
burs this morning where they are now
ioing nicely. 1t is thought that their
