The Farmers Income.

Studies made by Cornell Univer-
sity by the Department of Agricul-
ture investigators from Washington
and by the Presbyterian Depart
ment of Church and Country Life
concur in certain general findings
about the farmers income TAX
ing fairly prosperous regions into
account. they show that about one
third of the farmers do pretty we'll
These could pay themselves a wage
for their labor on the farm varying
from $500 to $4,000. Then there
are some average farmers who could
pay themselves a wage of about
$500 a year.
But the trouble in the country
community is that general prosper
ity goes no faster than the poorest
third of the population. These men
make nothing at all Indeed. in
Pike County, Mo-, a survey of farm
ers' incomes showed that three out
of seven, after working hard all the
year, had less than nothing to pay
themselves for their labor. If they
had sold their farms at the begin
ming of the year and put the money
at S per cent interest they would
have been richer in idleness than
after the years work.
In Wayne County, o., a score of
farmers selected for their represen-
tative character were studied. 1t
was found that while one third of
them prospered in satisfactory
way. another third of them had a
minus quantity for all their work.
1t is no wonder that farming COM
munities are unstable
The problem of the church and
school in the country is bound up
with this question Of income, II
the farmer has not an income in re

An Emierant Social.

A hostess recently sent out invi-
tations for an emigrant social, re-
questing the guests to come atrired
as emigrants, and also that each
bring a few worldly possessions"
tied up in a colored handkerchief.
When the "emigrants" had arriv-
ed at the home of the hostess, it
was announced that no one would
be admitted to "America" who
lacked means, therefore the emf
grants would be permitted to en-
deavor to better their fortunes by
trading bundles with each other, it
being forbidden, however, to open
the bundles. When fifteen minutes
had passed in lively swapping" an
inspector" then took charge of the
emigrants and opening the bundles,
one by one, decided who should re-
main, and who should be sent to
the detention room"
The fortunate ones who were per-
mitted to remain were then put
through a mock examination as to
their knowledge of America, its his
tory and politics. and finally requlr-
ed to sing the national anthem.
Those in the detention room"
were then told that they would be
permitted to remain in America if
any of their friends would redeem
them by forfeit.
After all had been redeemed, re-
freshments consisting of coffee.
sandwiches, crullers and pie were
served from long counter. The

Gossip.

Gossip consists of the affairs of
others discussed with a superb
imagination and with the brain
thrown entirely out of gear.
Gossip is produced in the absence
of any other mental exercise and
forms the sole output of great
many brains which would be more
useful to society in glass-jars. A
gossip has to talk and is not equip
ped with ideas or information.
Therefore she has to discuss her
neighbors' husbands her neiehbors'
children, the neighbors' housekeep-
ing, her neighbors' history, troubles
religion and temper, the love affair
of the dressmaker 4 blocks away,
the extravaganza of the minister's
wife, the past history of a young
woman who has come to town to
clerk in the millinery store, the
awful story about the young couple
on the the north side. the surprising
incident of the deacon who came
home late and what he is said to
have said to his wife, and what
Mrs. Browns hired girl is said to
have declared that she heard a
good authority intimate that was
said in reply.
All of these things give gossip
a great deal to talk about and keep
her perfectly happy and very busy;
for what she doesn't know about
her neighbors she has to find out
Burns is considered good detec-
tive but a she gossip can take one
look at a load of furniture backing
in next door and tell inside of an
hour how many times the family
has been sued for bills and wheth-
er or not the daughter of the
house will permit a young man to
hold her hand.
Gossip has wonderful detective
ability and it is pity it can not be
used to better advantage. After a
gossip is qualified by running few
regulations she ought to be given a
permanent job at the bottom of a
fairly deep river looking up the
general regulations of the bachelor
catfish.-Geo. Fitch.

turn for his labor he cannot afford
to improve social institutions. When
his land increases in price he can
borrow more money at the bank
and use it to improve productive
implements He can erect silos,
drain his land, buy pure bred stock,
but on borrowed money he cannot
rebuild the church or increase the
minister's salary OF consolidate the
schools. These things will wait I'M
til all the farmers in the communi-
nifty have an adequate income For
this reason the church has every
motive to support the demand for
CO operative credit in the country.
Unless the farmer does well enough
to be satisfied, unless his son can
borrow money at low rate and
buy a farm, unless the renter can
become all owner. the churches in
the country will continue to lose
ground and the schools in the coun-
try can never be improved.

Farm Adviser.

With the County Agricultural
Adviser" plan, the Agricultural Col
lege has given to the state the new
est and what they hope will prove
the most satisfactory method of
giving to the farmers of the state
the benefit of the information which
they are collecting. Inquiries for
advice have reached such an enor-
nous number that it is impossible
to send representatives of the col
lege to investigate and satisfy.
The Agricultural Train" did not
permanently satisfy the demand as
it was merely a hurried trip through
a very small portion of the state
which served for little more than to
create an interest in the Better
Agriculture" Again it is impossi-
BILE for every farmer or farmers son
to attend the courses offered by the
Agricultural College.
For these reasons, principally,
the Agricultural College has devils
ed this plan of having a representa-
tive of theirs, The County Agricul-
tural Adviser" stationed in every

HUMANE OFFICERS
Slaughter Cattle in Transit to
Put Them Out of
Misery

Sioux City, June 1O.-Forty-one
head of cattle were put out of their
misery this morning by Officer Will
liam Reeve, of the Humane society.
The animals were the property of the
Powder River Cattle company, of
Montana, and were on their way from
New Mexico to the Powder river coun-
try, of Montana.
Two t~rainloads of cattle, go cars in
all, firm New Mexico passed through
the city this morning. on their long
journey to north central Montana.
They were bought in the southern
part Of New Mexico at a low price
because of the recent droughts in that
region has made it impossible to Craze
them there this summer. Many were
in a weak condition before they started
and, although unloaded two or three
times on the trip before arriving here,
a number of the weaker ones had fallen
down and had been trampied on. When
unloaded at the stock yards this morn
ing, Is were dead in the cars and a
number Of others were seen to be in
frIghtful condition.
The Humane society was called on
to investigate the case. Reeve decided
the al ought to be put ont of their mis-
cry. In the carrying out of this work,
be used the one box of cartridges ne
bad taken with him when he went
to the yards and found it necessary to
return to the city for a second box be
fore he could complete his work of
mercy. 81 have seen a good many
animals in misery said Mr.. Reeve,
''but never in my life have l seen as
miserable a sight as this"
The cattle had been on the road for
about a week and had a three or four
days journey anead of them yet before
they could reach their destination.
Several men are in attendance caring
fol the animals and are doing all in
their power to relieve their suffering
This represents a loss of close to 81, 900
to the cattle company.
At Harrington, Neb., the train was
stopped to allow several score of the
animals II be taken off and killed.

VITAL STATISTICS
The Law Governing Reports to
Be Strictly Enforced

Pierre. Jure 1O.--Doane Robinson,
head of the historical department and
census bureau of the state which in
cludes the superintendent of vital
statistics has issued a warning that
the law regarding the registration of
births, deaths and marriages is to be
strictly enforced.
"The attorney general has placed
the powerful machinery of his office
at our service in securing a complete
enforcement.
at will not in any way involve
you to supply information of negli-
gence. The attorney general at once
calls upon the county attorney to in
vestigate and bring any necessary
proceedings. A very few prosecutions
under the law will educate the public
to the necessity of observance and the
object of law will thus be fulfilled. "
