NEGLECT SOURCE OF WEALTH
Possible Income From Sugar Tree
Seems to Have Been Forgot
ten by Farmers.

Science has turned its inquisitorial
eye more than once on the sugar tree,
but so far has failed to solve its mys-
terry. Investigation has merely re-
corded certain facts; it has not ex-
planned them. 1t is known, for in
stance, that the sugar maple is far
more particular than the unititiated
suspect. For its sap to flow, nights
must be cool, clear and still, with the
temperature at least ten degrees be-
low freezing; the days must be warm
and sunny, with the temperature ris-
ing to 80 degrees above freezing, and
finally, there must be a fall of rain
or of snow after four or five success
sive days of such weather or the sap
will cease to flow.
But there is hardly more of a mys-
terry here than there is in the fact
that the farmer who has the trees to
tap fails to tap them. He needs no
demonstration to prove to him that
the weather conditions favorable for
the flow Of sugar sap are favorable
for little work about the farm. And
he needs, surely, no reminder that an
eager and profitable market awaits
the product. Why, then, only half
the product available is collected and
why half of this natural resource is
wasted is perplexing to the ordinary
mind.

REASONS FOR "PoOR FEEDER"
Foreign Bodies often Found Embedded
In Tongue of AnimaI-Wire and
Nails Lodge in Stomach.
(By H. s. EAKINS)


Every year it has been noticed
among cattle in feed lots, that a few
individuals would not make the gains
expected. Various causes have been
attributed to this condition as poor"
teeth, Indigestion, infectious diseases,
etc.
Upon post-mortem inspection of
several thousand beef cattle in some
of the packing houses of the West,
the author has frequently found for
eign bodies, as barley boards, or fox
tail, embedded in the tongue, in some
instances resulting in abscess forma-
ton, or even actinomycosis wooden
tonguel; or penetrating through the
wall of the second stomach (honey-

or a nail. Sometimes this piece of
wire or other foreign body has pene-

THEMTSTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
town great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
''fiddlers," but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over.
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of statesman is to construct,
and that it is better for a man that he
should build a public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state, and that he start a pillow than
that he become the author of Law.
The true test of craftsmanship is the
pillow and the hammer. so let those
who would govern, first build.

WHY SHOULD (.
WOMEN VOTE?
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE FROM THE
VIEWPOINT OF LEADING
FARMERS.

Why should women vote? That Is
ocean to ocean and reverberating from
the Canadian boundary to the Next
can border. 1t is the mission of a
Newspaper to give the news and the
action Of the Texas Farmers Union
in opposing woman's suffrage when
that question was recently before the
Texas legislature is significant as
representing the attitude of the Or
ganized ploWmen. We reproduce in
part the argument presented by Hon.
W. D. Lewis, president Of the Texas
Farmers Union in opposing the bill:
1T is gratifying to note that it is
not the farmers wife who is clamoring
for the ballot. She is too busy
trying to make happier homes, mold
ing the minds of future citizens and
sharing with her husband the cares
Of life to indulge in political gossip.
The ballot will give her no relief from
Grudgery give no assistance in cloth
ing the children or bring to the home
additional comforts, conveniences or
opportunities in life. 1t is, as a rule,
the city woman promoted to idleness
by prosperity who is leading the suf-
fragette movement.
From many standpoints, perhaps
a woman has as much right to vote
as a man. So has she as much right
to pillow as a man. she has as much
right to work ir factory as a man;
she has as much right to shoulder a
musket as man, but we would rather
she would not do so from choice
and we regret that necessity ofttimes
compels her to earn a living by, en-
gaging in gainful occupations. We do
not consider misfortune a qualifica-
ton for suffrage or a business acct
dent reason for granting franchise.
We are opposed to woman at the
ballot box the same as we are OPP
posed to woman in the field, in the
factory or in the army and for the
self-same reasons. We had rather
see her plant flowers than SOW wheat;
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political is
sues, although she may have as much
right to do one as the other.

Opposed to Unsexing Humanity.

sex qualification for suffrage may
have its apparent Inconsistencies. No
general rule adjusts itself perfectly
to all conditions. 1t is a favorite ar
gument advanced by the proponents of
woman's suffrage that many cultivated
and noble women are far more capa-
BILE of intelligently exercising SOW
ereignty than a worthless negro but
the South never was anxious for
negro suffrage, and while culture and
refinement, and even morality, are
desirable virtues, they are not the
only qualifications for franchise.
"The primary, inherent and insep-
arabic fitness for suffrage is support
ing a family. The plow handle, the
forge and the struggle for bread af-
ford experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Government is a
great big business and civilization
from the very beginning assigned
woman the home and man the bust
ness affairs of life.
There has been much freakish leg
islation enacted during the past de-
cade that no doubt appeals to woman's
love for the ridiculous, but to under
take to unsex the human race by law
is the height of legislative folly and
tragedy to mankind.
eve are opposed to the equal rights
of woman-we want her to ever re-
main our superior. We consider
woman's desire to seek mans level
the yellow peril of Twentieth Century
civilization.
Woman is the medium through
which angels whisper their messages
to mankind; it is her hand that plants
thoughts in the intellectual vineyard;
it is through her heart that hope, love
and sympathy overflow and bless man.

kind-was satisfied to teach the lessons
of life and He was a man. He chose
to rule over human hearts and re-
fused worldly power and men followed
after Him, women washed His feet,
little children climbed upon His knees
and the Ruler of the universe said
that in Him He was well pleased.
