The children find a place there, too;
or if they are old enough, they run

cal magistrate is so blind TO his own
interests as to Cypress the people,
there is a wiser man a few leagues
away who is ready to welcome them
For what is the good Of land without
men to live on it?
But suppose the worst comes TO the
worst, and the man in power is a
fend, with whom neither property
nor life nor honor is safe; even then
there is the great forest, In which
life, although hard. is a real pleasure
to a man; and given a good leader,
the oppressed may soon change places

First TO Fade.

When the slump starts, summoned
by the voice of Time, does a ball play
er drop back faster in his batting than
in his fielding?
In 1904 Hans Wagner batted .349
and feIded 929; in 1912 he batted 1929
and fieIded 1862.
In 1904 Nap Lajoie batted .3s1 and
f1elded s31; in 1912 he batted 1868
and f1elded $50.
In the eight years interval Wagner
lost 20 points in batting and gained
81 in fielding. Lajoie lost ID points
in batting and gained % in fielding.
The answer from this appears to
be that the wick Of the batting lamp
sputters first, while the fielding orb
grows in candle power.

AYOTHING contributes more to un,
III profitable dairying than the
boarder COW. She steals away
the profits yielded by the good COWS
in the herd. No part of the farm bust
ness offers SO much opportunity for
losses as these poor COWS. We know
that the average dairy herd in Kan
sas is money loser, and that one
of the principal reasons for this loss
is the COW that does not pay for her
board. These COWS are kept because
of ignorance ON the part of the farm
er Of their presence in the herd. This
ignorance is due to the fact that very
few dairymen get down to actual
facts and figures, or know what the
herd as a whole is doing, while the
profit or loss from each COW should
be known.
A scale for weighing the milk and
a BabcOck tester for determining the
percentage of butter fat are great
modern agents for driving the fog
from the brain of the dairyman, open
ing his eyes to actual conditions.
For example, a successful dairyman
bought his first dairy herd ten years
oSO' AiO was HOC at IHdI ClIi0 d SOOu
judge of dairy COWS, or a skillfuI feed
er, but he did know the value of
figures, and started at once to keep
a record of production of each COW,
and the cost of feed consumed by the
herd. At the end of the first month
he found that after paying for the
feed eaten he had seven cents left
for labor and the various other ex-
penses. Practically the entire herd
was sent to the butcher at once, al
though the difference between cost

During these busy days while riding
the cultivator, cutting alfalfa, getting
ready for harvest and working every
day, are you thinking of the manage
ment of the farm? Have you more
acres in corn than you can cultivate
and handle in connection with your
alfalfa? Is your alfalfa acreage more
than can be handled by the teams and
help that you have? Are you wheat
farming and before harvest have little
or no work for teams and men, while
later you will have more than you can
do? After harvest and blowing, will
your horses again be eating their
heads off, in the barn? Have you
thought of diversified crops and sys-
TENS of management so that your
horses will be busy all the time but
will not be overworked any time, so
that you and your help will have prof
liable labor the year round and will
not work too hard for six months and
be idle the other six? Have you sew
eral crops On your farm, so that if one
fails, the other may succeed? Are all
of these crops adapted to your local
condition of climate, soils and mar
kets? Are you specializing too much,
so that a glutted market in your pro-
duct may make your farming unprof-
liable or are you not specializing suf-
ficientIy to succeed above the aver
age? Are you getting quality in your
products so that they will sell right

1t is about as easy to keep an acre
or two fortified and suitable for
garden as it is to keep a half acre, if
plans have been made with that in
view. So the garden can be planted
in new place every year, and a lot
of hOeing and hard work avoided in
keeping out the weeds. Alfalfa, or
some other crop that can be moved
several times a year, will be a great
help in cleaning up a weedy garden.

I've seen him destroyed by Joe Bailey
an extarminated be Champ Clark.
I've seen him put in a bag with a pig

I've heard tn despairin' cry, tn
dhreadful splash, an tn muttered pray
ers iv 'Th' divvle take him.

One conspicuous example is man
who has given enormous sums to
found Libraries and to abolish war.
do not wish to be understood as
questioning his sincerity, but It is
nevertheless true that he is doing all
that one man of influence can do to
perpetuate the evils he is endeavoring
to relieve. He has been and still is
a staunch upholder of the form of
robbery called protective tariff, He
has written, spoken and given money
in behalf of this iniquity. However
good his intentions, the fact remains
that in supporting international tar
ifs and in opposing free trade, he is
doing more to perpetuate national
hatred and jealousies than all his con
tributions to peace funds can begin
todestroy. Besides the tariff, he up
holds other predatory institutions,
which impoverish the people and de-
bar them from opportunities for ed
ucation which none of his libraries
can supply.
This man is typical ofso-called phi
lanthropists.' The most prominent
supporters of charitable institutions
in our cities are men who bitterly OPP
pose abolition of wrongs that create
poverty. There are philanthropists
who denounce employers Of labor for
paying low wages; who point accus-
ingly at owners of department stores
blaming them for white slavery; who
denounce owners of unsanitary tene-
ments; who rave about political cor
ruption and demand legislation for
bidding every evil under the sun,
but who will not lift finger to help
remove the fundamental cause of
these evils.
While denouncing employers who
pay low wages, they shut their eyes
to the fact that they themselves up
hold conditions which force laborers
to choose between low wages or none
at all. While denouncing tenement
owners they refuse to consider taxa
ton of industry and legal encourage
ment of land speculation that make
tenement evils inevitable, While de-
nouncing political corruption and de-
manding futile prohibitory laws they
uphold the wrongs which create pow
erty and drive men to get a living
from corruption or other evils in
preference to starvation or beggary.
These philanthropists may well be
described as men who give money to
repair little of the harm they have
themselves helped to do or as Tolstoy
has we'll stated; men willing to do
anything to help the poor except to
get off their backs.
Identified, as am, with the great
movement to remove the cause of
poverty, it would be a mistake to
classify me with those opposing our
efforts and who would apparently
prefer that all the evils they decry
should exist forever rather than that
the cause of them should be dis
turbed.
