Big Feeling.

How trying is that naughty
gent who's all swelled up with
self content each blessed minute;
who arrogantly stares you down,
and seems to say: II own the
town, and all that's it in" He
struts along the village streets
and doubtless thinks the folks he
meets are him adoring; he might
come down two pegs or three if
he could hear them bitterly his
folly scoring, No man should
swagger till he's shown he oc-
cupies a place alone, won by his
labors; till he has gained such
great renown he has excuse for
looking down upon his neigh.
bors. And men who win that
sort of thing have too much sense
to strut, by jung, they're meek
and humble; they know that
those who swell around with eyes
too high to see the ground will
some day stumble. Not wealth
or fame or boundless power should
swell our bosoms for an hour
we are but mortals; the sexton
gets us all at last, and when our
little jaunt is past, the gray
world chortles. One stiff that's
buried in the mold is just az stark
and just a. cold as any other; the
big man, planted, has no edge
upon the pauper by the hedge,
his little brother.-Walt Mason.
There is one of that sort in
Baxter.

Feteritd.
The New Dry Land Forage
Crop.

This is a new grain OF the
Durra group introduced by the
United States Department OF Ag'
riculture from British Egyptian
Soudan, near Sahara Desert
Growers who tried this last sea
son are very enthusiastic about
it and claim it is the best forage
crop they have. Can be grown
with one cultivation and will
produce crop on the poorest land
1t produces a stalk of medium
height and size, bearing two to
twelve leaves of medium size
and a large head, we'll filled with
pure white or blush white seeds
The grain is larger than Milo
and is fully as soft and much
whittier than Kafir. Its feeding
value is equal to either Kafir OF
Milo, and does not contain the
dust that accompanies the other
two.
Feterita is an excellent drouth
resister. It stands erect, branch
es out from the root and natures
twenty-five days earlier than
Kafr. Yields of from fifty to
eighty bushels per acre were re-
ported last season.
A remarkable feature is that
two crops of Feterita can be
raised on the same ground, the
same season, planting the second
crop with the ripe seed of the
first crop.
1t is also reported that chinch
bugs do not bother Feterita.
Feterita Is bound to become
one of the most important crops
of this western country.

Corn for Kansas.

Secretary Coburn, of the Kan
sas State Board of Agriculture,
has issued q circular letter on the
seed corn situation. he says
that correspondents from g of
the los counties report that there
will be no corn of this years
stock fit for planting, and he e.
Inmates that not to exceed q half
dozen counties will have corn of
this years growing for their
home needs. He therefore adj
vises that where corn did not
mature satisfactorily this year,
seed be collected from old corn
which is still on hand, and that
a sufficient amount be collected
to permit of careful testing dur
ing the winter and the rejection
of that which does not meet the
test.

immoral. Perhaps this PROPOSE

children, and the great farming
class, that is the very backbone
of our republic, its balance wheel,
loses its influence.
No nation ever has survived,
nor can survive, the decline of its
agriculture. The decline of the
Roman republic began when its
farmers moved to town and had
their lands cultivated by slaves.
France and Belgium prosper be-
cause they are nations of small
farmers, who cultivate their land
to its utmost limit. England
and Ireland are prospecting be-
cause there is no such thing in
either country as WORKOUT land.
America, Notwithstanding her
almost limitless resources, Can
scarcely feed her own people
much longer.
We need not go far to see the
immortality of soil robbing. If a
farm in any locality becomes
worn out, even though that
wearing out be little more than
the exhaustion of the humus ma
terial in the soil, it must expect
to have a poor tenant. For a
good tenant, who understands
his business, will not waste his
time farming WORKOUT land. He
may undertake to restore it; but
if he is wise, it will be done at
the expense of the owner.
The rule, as illustrated in
thousands of instances, is that
the poorer tenants get the poorer
land. Having poor land, they
must continue poor, which means
that they lose standing in the
community. They are not able
to educate their children; they
are not able to live as other farm.
ers live. When this becomes
general in any township, it means
that the schools in that town.
ship are poor. 1t means that the
churches dwindle in membership,
and finally pass out. 1t means
that immortality becomes common
even in the sports of the young
people. 1t means, in short, a
lack of social influence and of
political influence on the part of
the farmers. These are the PEN
alties for soil robbing, which ma
tnre imposes with absolute GER
tainty and unfailing accuracy.
Therefore we think we have
not taken too bold q stand when
we say that soil robbing, no mat
ter who practices it, the owner or
the tenant, is in its very nature
immoral. The results we have
pointed out prove this beyond
any possibility of contradiction.
The land itself has its rights;
and if these rights are violated,
if the fertility is exhausted by
bad management, or unjust and
unequal laws, it takes its revenge
by growing weeds, ''thorns and
thistles." It is the modern form
of the primeval curse.

The deadlock over the appointment

Matthews was unexpectedly nomi-

first every commissioner gave the
