THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

+
In a communication in the Moline
j Dispatch Dr. Taylor of that city un.
dertakes to correct some mistaken
notions relative to the high cost OF
living and to controvert some bad
advice that has been given by alleg-
ed experts to the farmers in this reg
lion.
| The farmer Is being blamed for the
thigh cost of living. The doctor shows
that prices of all staple farm products
are unusually low. Prices of meat and
dairy products are very high For this
the farmer is largely to blame. but he
has the excuse of having been advis-
ed by high authority against the rails
ing of live stock in connection with
grain farming, because a given amount
lof grain will feed more people than
1.-THE same amount of grain when con-
verified into meat. The doctor shows
/ the error of this position, and he
urges the farmer to produce more
live stock, learning first to give the
animals balanced ration OF the
eoarser grains, and thus putting him
self In position to largely increase his
profits and to maintain the fertility
of his soil.
The article contains some fresh sta
Htistics, direct from the official records
in Washington, showing that We have
practically ceased to export meat
products and have begun to buy meat
from other countries. So long as we
pursue this course the cost of meat is
bound to continue to increase.
Not only are we ceasing to EXPORT
live stock and meats. but the live
stock census shows an alarming de-
crease in the number of animals of
all kinds in the United States.
The doctor seeks to controvert also
the notion that our soil is losing its
fertility. Under more scientific farm
ing. yields 10 the acre have been in
creasing for sixty years.
And, due to improved supplements
and farming methods. the labor enter
Ing into a crop has been vastly re-
duced- For instance, in 1850 1t re-
qgired three hours of labor on the av-
erage to produce a busheI of wheat,
now it requires only ten minutes.

THE MODERN IDEA.

NtS1GhiN tGGAs
Father must be self denying,
He must never rest or play:
He must keep forever trying
To deserve a raise OF pay;
Longings that he used to treasure
Must be banished from his breast;
With no time to waste at rest,
For the precious children's pleasure
He must bravely do his best.
Mothers cravings must be meager,
Selfish joys for which of yore
She had longings that were eager
Must appeal to her no more;
She must be content to daily
Do her best with brain and hand,
With a patience that is grand,
So the precious children gayly
May have all that they demand.
Grandpa must not wish attention
Or expect the slightest care;
He Is too obscure to mention.
With his lack of teeth and hair;
Let him sit and listen gravely,
Seldom putting in a word,
Lest he make himself absurd,
While the precious children bravely
Let themselves be seen and heard.
