worn with hunger and the wearniess

harvest, but that matters not at all.
That other hands will CLEAN is no fac
tor in the great mathematics of prog
ress and life.
Long after he has become a mem
ory, that unfinished furrow will play
its part in life. Long after the winds
of summer and the SHOWS of winter
have cast their influence upon it, his
work will live, either for good or for
evil. The big thing is that he START
ED his furrow and that he did so
with a purpose and held to it. Th0
big thing is that he aimed to benefit
and change the world; to prepare the
ground that it might produce.
The tragedy of the unfinished fur
row? There is no tragedy. Only
those fail who never plow at all.
If we wish to flow with the stream
of life, we must keep up with the cur
rent Of events.

THE UNFINISHED FURROW.

Out where the great fields of yell
low wheat gently undulate to the soft
breeze in a summers sun, the tired
farmer sits, wondering, meditating on
the ways of the world, He is far
from the immediate touch Of the
wheels of commerce, the lift Of the
busy city, and droning whir of mar
chinery and the alarums of war.
Three score years and ten have
passed over his thin white locks; the
stopped shoulders and deep wrinkled
brow will soon be laid to eternal rest,
yet, as he sits dreaming, awaiting
the last bugle's call, the thought of
another, long since mellowed to dust,
comes to haunt the chambers Of the
mind; another, who, In departing,
left the plow-share upright in the fur
row, half turned. He recalls the life
less form, the field half plowed, the
effort wasted, the mysterious hand of
Fate, the seeming fallacy of 1t all.
But beyond these he views the vic
tory, the reward that can be the part
of every life, that can come to any
man and any woman. And the spirit
that stands beside the lifeless form
brings laurel, not a flower of sor-
row. For he started his furrow in
life.
That it did not lead to where he
planned is a small thing. That his
ambitions we're not realized while he
watched means little. That he fell
and passed on to other worlds, leav-
ing behind him the unfinished fur
row, is no tragedy. He conquered
when he started. He won when he
kept his plow steady and straight.
He was victor at each step Of the
path.
Upon this furrow others will come
to plant. What crops will grow?
Roses, perhaps, whose perfume will

SPECIALITY FARMING.

Setting the price of all kinds of
food advancing, the average man
feels like offering much advice about
the raising of these products. OF
course such suggestions are apt to
be worthless. Still it is admitted by
most experts that farm methods of
past years have been inefficient and
unbusinesslike. So the consumer
may perhaps express an opinion
about the general principles on which
he thinks farming could be placed
more on business basis.
A hint in this direction is Of
fered by dispatch just published
from Burlington, VT, telling how one
man had made $4,000 by raising cab
bage on twelve acres of land. While
a good many farmers are making
handsome profits nowadays, 1t is not
likely that many of them have
cleaned up $4,000 in one year by rails
ing cabbages. This man no doubt
succeeded by specializing on this
crop. He must have studied every
authority on the raising Of this vege-
table, and talked with every man who
could give him any practical informa-
tion.
Many farmers fritter away their
energy by doing too many different
things. In most forms of production
the man who wins out is the one who
specializes. He produces few lines,
but gets out large amount of each
line. In that way his help becomes
expert on that proposition. When
you double your production, you do
not usually double the labor costs,
but should increase the skill with
which the work is done. The ex-
perfse account grows smaller per unit
of production, and the results should
become of better quality.
OF course, in specially farming, If
there is crop failure, 1t is more dis
astrous. But the specially farmer
should be better able to protect his
crop from insect pests and the vicis-
situdes of weather.
The consumers hat goes off to the
farmer who can make a success in
any kind of food raising. He per-
forms a public service in time of
struggle with living costs.

HUMANE WORK WITH CHILDREN.

One of the nation wide movements
of our time is the forming of Bands
of Mercy for children. During Octo-
Der 991 new branches of this organ
ization were formed, which already
has 100000 members scattered all
over the country.
Children at their tender age are
easily swayed. 1t rs the most natural
thing in the world for a boy to throw
stones at a stray dog when he sees
the other boys doing it. And it is
Just as easy to make him see how
he would feel in the dogs place with
pack of pursuing giants after him.
Many of the older people have
gone through life without a particle
of humane sentiment. Common de-
cency and mature feeling prevents us
from wanton cruelty. But every day
you see some man angrily beating a
horse because the beast can't pull a
heavy load or fails to understand orr
ders. Only an ingrained sentiment of
sympathy for these underlings of Gre
alton can prevent hot-tempered peo-
pie from such acts. And to create
that sympathetic feeling, the idea
needs to be talked into the young
ster's hads at the Band of Mercy age.

Sloppy New Year.
SUCCESS OF HOME GARDENS.

international Child Welfare League ls-
sues etatement on Its Work.
The International Child Welfare
league has issued a statement show
ing what success 1t was able to achieve
In its home garden movement for chill
dren last summer with the. proceeds Of
a flower ball which it held last spring.
The statement reads in part:
The International Child Welfare
league, in conjunction with the bureau
Of education Of Washington, has been
studying the introduction of Commits
sioner P. P. Claxtons plan of the
home garden under school supervision
as a substitute for child labor. The
experiment was tried in Westchester
county, N. Y, last summer and has
been SO successful that the Welfare
league is cooperating with all educa-
tional leagues in pushing the work.
The school garden and the home gar
den are often confused. The former is
community affair, with teacher to
oversee the whole plot. This plan is
an excellent one for collective instruc-
ton and is recommended for chill
dren who have no home garden. The
value Of the home garden lies in the
fact that the parents take more pride
In the work Of the child and with its
economic results, which are more read
lily seen in the home than when the
garden is at some distant point.
Tarrytown, N. Y, raised privately
sufficient money, coupled with an
amount contributed by the Interna-
tional Child Welfare league, to start
the work with a teacher In the Wash
ington Irving high school and also In
the North Tarrytown high school. In
this town the work was Systematically
organized under the Claxton plan, and
its success has led to its adoption by
the board of education as a part of the
regular school work in the coming
year.
The fact that the work is done after
school hours and continued into the
summer vacation period makes it easy
to fit into the curriculum Of any
school, and the happy results in its
bearing on health and morals make 1t
a most valuable adjunct to school edu-
cation.

GOOD DEED IN NAUGHTY
WORLD.

There was man In our town, and
he was wondrous rich;
He gave away his millions to the
colleges and sich,
And people cried: THE hypocrlts!
He ought to understand
The ones who really need him are
the children Of this land"
When Andrew Croesus built home
for children who were sick
The people said they rather thought
he did 1t as trick,
And writer's said, HE thinks about
the dropping girls and boys
But what about conditions with the
men whom he employs7'
There was a man In our town who
said that he would share
His profits with his laborers, for
that was only fair,
And people said: "0h, isn't he the
shrewd and foxy gent?
It cost him next to nothing for that
free advertisement"
There was man in our town who
had the perfect plan
To do away with poverty and other
Ills Of man.
But he feared the public jeering and
the folks who would defame
him,
So he never told the plan he had,
and l can hardly blame him.

Ashland, Ore, Thursday, Jan. 4, 191'
OH, YOU SPORTSMAN.

The ,rirty thousand people who
live within a few miles OF the Rogue
river are not overly inquisitive.
Yet tho thirty thousand people,
from a portion of which the Mail Tri-
bune draws a portion of its susten-
ance, will PROBABLY want to know why
George putnam, editor of the Med
ford Mail Tribune, wishes to reserve
TO Rod Macley of the Macley can
merry, a practical monopoly on the
fish which Mother Nature put in the
Rogue river. Mother Nature no doubt
likes Rod and apparently Editor Put
nam likes Rod, but we are sure that
Mother Nature intended some Of the
salmon for the rest OF the folks who
live near the Rogue.
Mother Nature probably never in
tended to let the Salmon rot on the
banks of the Rogue and its tribu-
taries" until the waters are contami-
mated, as Editor Putnam assures his
readers will happen II Rods monop-
oily is removed. Chances are that
Mother Nature even went so far as to
make allowances for the normal ap-
petite of the thirty thousand for an
occasional baked salmon.
Editor Putnam rares up on his
hind legs and calls upon his extensive
vocabulary for .frenzied series of
"ohs" AMI "ahs" to express his utter
contempt for the Ashland Fish and
Game Protective Association, who
favor allowing gaffing and spearing
of few of the salmon which, accord
ing to Editor Putnam, would other
wise "rot on the banks" The local
association passed resolution favor
ing legislation to allow the taking of
salmon by gaff and spear for the
home use of the taker only. Such a
law exists and has proved satisfactory
in California and elsewhere.
The local association and practical
ly all Of the people of the Rogue wa
tershed want Macley's monopoly re-
moved, and no doubt would appreci-
ate chance to keep the water from
becoming contaminated and at the
same time set their teeth into a sal
mon once in while.
Editor Putnam wants Macley's mo-
nopoly undistrubed and scorns the
idea of letting the fish do anything
but rot II by happy chance the legis-
lature should follow out the will of
the people Of the state as expressed
when the matter was voted upon un-
der the initiative law.
Editor Putnam is a true sports
man. He prefers letting Rod Mac
ley's teams haul out great net loads
OF salmon onto the sands of the banks
of the Rogue-he prefers letting
Macley's nets divert the fish from the
Rogue into cans with Macley,s label
to letting the thirty thousand have
an opportunity to gaff an occasional
salmon.

Work hacmoniously, on Gods plan,
To help both self and fellow man.
To give Iny soul so much of good
That evil all will be withstood,
For if my mind will good l fill,
There'll be no room for thoughts
Of i'll.
If I may any service be,
Help NE each little kindness see.
Help me to know there's good in all,
Then J may ease brothers fall
May I each duty well perform,
To words and acts of friends con-
form.
If have foes-send thoughts to each
So full of love, twill heal the
breach.
Then, if all duties are we'll done,
With faith in God and man, I've
won
And of the good which we receive,
We may to others freely give.
