The Pig Is Mightier Than The Pen
FARMER VERSUS EDITOR

lers. There is no law which compels
hi INTO fill four columns of space with
clogged think tank and stickfu OF
brain food.
Ii the editor takes two days off in
fishing in succession, his patrons cali
him a loaaer and take their job work
to the other Office. If he works until
he is bowed over like fat man with
cramps, people say he is too stingy to
hire extra help. If he contributes Sc
shirt on Sunday, the banks call in his
notes with noise like wooden-leg-
ged man falling on tin roof, and if
he refuses to dig up for the Womans
Relief Corps supper, he is branded as
a miser and avoided as if he had the
hives. The farmer can look every
man in the face and tell him to go
where there is no premium on coal
slack, and if the printer informs a
man who tries to beat him out OF four
years subscription tibet he is so crook
ed that he couldn't go to sleep in
round house, he is liable to be reduced
to the consistency Of corn-starch
pudding.
In view OF these facts why is the
profession overcrowded? There are
several reasons
One is that man is vain bird and is
never happier than when he is yap-
ping in linotype slugs. Manv man
would rather dispense fourteen col
umns OF crooked rhetoric and REFORM
ed spelling once week and live on
ossitied liver and iced tea, than shave
the warts off calls head and hold
pail for a sucking calf. even though
he can I'LL up on green corn and side
pork until he wheezes like an accor-
deon with the asthma. There are
others, including fair sprinkling of
jack-leg lawyers and law-strung school
teachers, who have imbibed the notion
that the editors life is softer than the
head on a two ply sport These rush
in with 500 outfit and wind pressure
that would blister the lining out of
steel range and fill long felt want
with the grace OF abandon of hare
Nothing ever drives these startlings
out OF the profession except sudden
death or the sheriff. Then there are
those disguided, ambitious politicians
who believe the easiest way to clasp
TAT once TO your BOSOM is TO De-
come the editor OF newspaper. They
usually fade away like a goat on a
string bean diet, carrying through life
a look OF hopeless sorrow and re-
morse that would wiring the tears
from a porcelain egg
If the newspaper man knew the
joys and independence on the farmers
| life, he would kick himself up to a
peak until he looked like rat-tailed
file for continuing to make himself the
door mat OF the stitf-necked and I'M
godly community. Gentle communion
! with the kline is far better than ami
mated converse with an irate subscrib-
er with fists like a premium ham and
the dispositio moi hyena. Let us
reform, brethren, and get close to
natures heart with a three-t tined pitch
fork and seh-feeding manure spread
er. We will live longer, as the mar
ried man said. and if the worst comes
to worst, we can live on rutabagas and

THE APPLE

The apple just now is the subject OF
reviving interest and Importance all
over the land The attention it receiv-
ed during Farmers Week, just closed,
at State College shows that the Psnn-
sylvania farmers are under the in
huence of the movement for apple re-
Mobilization and want Pennsylvania to
secure the full advantage from apple
culture, for which its soil and climate
are so entirely suited.
Formerly thrifty vigorous apple
orchard was as familiar a feature on
every farm as the barn or the house.
They gave abundant apples OF prime
flavor to the farmers family all
through the Fall and Winter. They
furnished supply of sweet cider. The
apple trees, especially when in bios
som or in fruit, were the most at
tractve feature of the homestead The
orchard was a revenue producer,
though much less SO than it should
have been. Most farmers did not give
that care to the harvesting and ship
ping OF the apples that is necessary to
secure the best results, and most or
chards received little care after they
were fairly started, except to receive
an occasional printing, not always
wisely done.
But apple trees grow old and COM
paratvely unproductive without being
replaced by younger stock, and in
many sections the San Jose scale or
some other enemy Of the fruit tree
weakened or destroyed the orchard.
The production of this valuable frui,
declined in this country from 10000,
900 barrels in 1895 to 100000 in
1900, though the population, the po-
tential consumers of apples, increased
in this interval from 10000 900 to co.
100000 The demand and market for
apples was not reduced, but the supply
was, and the failure of the Eastern
orchards to furnish the supply has
given prodigious boom to the apple
growers of the far West
These beautiful, rosy checked apples
are now much in evidence. They
come from far off Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Colorado. An Ameri-
can Apple Congress has just been held
in Denver We do not know that
there were many Eastern orchardists
there, but if they had been they would
have learned something about apple
growing. They would have learned

ern apples will re-estabiish its some
what faded prestige. In every apple
growing State new interest is deve-
Hoped in apple culture. The farmers
of Pennsylvania are alive to it. APP
pie growing is an important and profit
able feature on many farms, and when
ali the ancient and scale blighted trees
have been uprooted and banished, and
young trees fthe best varieties are
growing in their places and kept guard
ed from scale infection there will be
no inducement for the apple growers
of the Pacific Coast to ship apples to
Pennsylvania-Th Press.

am here to say that the man who
owns eighty acres OF land and who has
brains enough to tell it, makes the lot
OF country newspaper men look like
the last sad remnants of Dutch
lunch. The farmer has the best OF it
all around. He IS as independent as
the American Express Company. He
doesn't have to write a, soulful obitu-
airy over the remains OF some peak
headed bloke who caved his wife's
ribs in with grub stake and kept on
display an exhibit of cut plug profan-
ity that would make the efforts Oh

OF the Epworth League. He doesn't
beauty of an open-faced bride with a
cast OF countenance that would blow
out the gas, and he can say what he
dunn pleases about candidate for
Congress something no newspaper
ever dared to do unless he had just
lost the postoffice. The farmer isn't
required to lie until his back teeth
fail out, about the sterling manhood
of a groom with ears like cauli-
flower plant, and the brain power OF
shoat. He doesn't have to run a
piano contest for the most beautiful
young lady in the community, make
everybody sore about the winner, and
then print a seventy-hve cent half tone
OF the beauty that looks like tin
type of grandma at the age OF thir-
teen. There is nothing in the farm
er's curriculum that obliges him to
paint the local soprano as a heaven
sent songster, when i'll fact she has a
voice that would make guinea .4en
weep. He isn't called upon to paint
the virtues of prominent citizen who
earned his money by collecting notes
with draw share and who would
have an attack OF heart failure if sud-
denly separated from two bits OF real
money.
The farmer can stand on the street
corner and roar about smallpox in
town until his whiskers curl up like a
lean man with the wind cole, and if
the newspaper man runs three line
item to the same effect his advertisers
will land on him and make him re-
semble a crushed fruit salad. II the
printer opens his head about the pres
ence OF slot machinery, penny-ante
and holes in the wall. every candidate
he supports at the primary election
will have about as much show OF nomi-
nation as a one-legged man at hur
die race The farmer can sit on his
front porch and if a newspaper jars a
board off the fence in that direction,
the editors appea for the county
printing will be about as effective as
treating a lusty boil with 'obasto
sauce.
The farmer can express his opinion
OF the new Methodist preacher in a
| firm loud voice, on the four corners,
and if the printer ventures to express
| the view that the preacher ought to be
chasing a currycomb over milk COW
instead of filling large room with
thin ozone and misinformation, he will
lose subscribers SO fast that he won't
have the circulation of a cold storage
egg. The farmer does not have to
| impress chaste kiss on the moist
| nose of his foreman in order to keep
him from getting drunk on press day,
neither does he have to get somebody
to go on his note when the devil care

the superior value OF young, vigorous,
trees, painted on fertile
land, cultivated, but not taxed with
any other crop. They would have
learned the advantage of apples being
always hand-picked and handled as
carefully as eggs from the tree to the
consumer. 1t is the Sight bruise that
makes the early rot, and rotten apples
are good only for the garbage can.

taught by our Agricultural Depart

FOR THE BEGINNING
OF THE new YEAR

"We wish you happy New Year"
But is the year happy that brings
disappointment to the hearts most
cherished hopes-that denies every op-
portunity for which the spirit has
pleaded and which the will has sworn
to achieve-that turns the feet of as
pration back to the level paths OF
drudgery and tedium and absorbs in
stupid gray the colors of young imagi-
nations dream? Shall all this be
named gladness?
Perhaps it may prove the soil OF
g'ladness when the years are older,
but now with the disappointment all
new, it is enough to remember that if
one will, one may forthwith grow in
the same soil, for the Towering of this
new year just beginning, al blossom
which though it make not glad, shall
richly beauty the summer of the
souls content.
Cheerfuly accepting the allotment
of life that has fallen to you, putting
away vain repinings and all privilege
of self-pity, submit yourself with de-
termination to the beauty of calmness,
dull and disappointing monotony may
cease from ones own agitation, but in
due turn for an opportunity OF minis
tering quietude to hearts yet more
restless than your own. "We wish

The prestige of the Senate as a Legisla- tive body depended upon the purity of election. He cited precedents in Roman, English and American laws to prove that Lorimer was not entitled to his seat. Beveridge said Rome dealt complacently with bribery and ceased to exist but English treated bribery as treason and has continued to flour ish. He quoted authorities to prove that a single act of bribery voids an election and declared it to be an ac- cepted principle of law that bene- ficiary is responsible for the act of his agents.
