The Globe Journal queries "Why
should we pay a weather man a stipend
fat and large if on the ancient time
tried plan the ground hog In charge?"
Coleman Younger, survivor of the
three brother* who were sentenced to
life Imprisonment because of connec
tion with the bank robbery and murder
at Northfield, Minnesota, In 1876, has
been granted a full pardon by the state
board of pardons on condition that he
promises never to place himself on ex
blbltion and that he leaves the state of
Minnesota, never to return, voluntarily.
The youngest brother, Bob, died in the
penitentiary ten years ago of consump
tion. Nearly two years ago Coleman
and Jame. were paroled, under the acts
of a new law enacted for their special
benefit. Last fall, discouraged by poor
health and his Inability under the law
to marry the woman of bl. choice, Jim
shot andjfcllled himself In bis rooms In
this city. Goleman's friends sought bis
full pardon, but the petition was denied.
Recently be filed a petition on his own
behalf and this has now been granted,
Better Than Prohibition.
After a trial of fifty years Vermont
has abandoned the attempt to prohibit
the sale of Intoxicating liquors and has
substituted local option. The action Is
In line with that of other slates. The
total prohibition of the liquor traffic Is
now recognized to be Impracticable if
not Impossible. Prohibition Is, as Gen
eral Hancock thought of the tariff, a
local question.
It has taken a good while to bring
some very well meaning people to the
admission that their own convictions,
no matter how sincere and consci
entious, are not necessarily binding
upon their neighbors. Men and wom
en who believe—and with reason
that alcohol is a curse to humanity
have labored long and earnestly to save
people fromtbemseives, but, as is the
history of all such attempts, they have
been compelled to confess failure. Tbey
are now about ready to admit that the
remedy for the drink evil 1b to be found
not in prohibitory legislation but In ed
uction and public sentiment.
And that remedy Ib proving effective.
Drunkenness is undoubtedly diminish
ing in all classes of society. Neither
the professional man nor the mechanic
can nowadays afford to be known as a
drunkard. It Is only in the very lowest
stratum of society that habitual intem
perance in the use of liquor Is regarded
with comparativelndlfference, and even
in the slums the growing popularity of
ilnst whisky ha. caifted a de
crease in the bestial, insane dipsomania
which renders drunkenness terrible.
It may very well be doubted whether
men will ever abandon the use of alco
holic beverages altogether, but there is
good reason to hope that the time is not
far distant when the use of such bevera.
ges will be so restricted and so moderate
as to constitute practically no menace to
humanity. Men are seeing for them
selves the physical and moral evils at
tendant upon excess, and with this real
ization the triumph of true temperance
becomes assured.

Hedern Board of Trade Tactics.
As the Sioux City Journal recently
pointed out in an editorial review of
the latest operations of the Armours in
the wheat pit, board of trade opera
tions instead of becoming safer for the
unsophisticated as time goes on, are ac
tually becoming more dangerous. In
the days of the old-fashioned "corner"
outsiders were sometimes able topioflt.
They took notice when some well
known and successful operator was
buying large quantities of some par
ticular grain, and believing that be
would wage a successful campaign for
the accomplishment of his object, which
was almost Invariably to get control of
the visible supply and then force the
price up to the highest point possible
and compel a settlement on that basiB
without mercy, traded along with him
in small quantities. When the day of
settlement came these buyers reaped
proportionate rewards. Of course
there were losses then just as there are
now for in board of trade trans
actions there Is always a loss for every
gain.
But the modern bull does not operate
as he used to. The Armours for In
stance started in a short time ago when
wheat waa low, buying large quantities
of that grain, and outsiders who had
not caught on to the new methods
bought also, just as they had been ac
customed to,-and kept on buying, ex
pecting that Armour would keep the
prices going upward untU the day of
settlement,when everybody who was on
that side would reap a profit but after
Armour bad played the part of a bull
for a time, be quietly began to unload,
using for this purpose brokers who
Were not supposed to be his agents. The
outside lambs kept on buying, thinking
they were buying, with Armour, when
in reality the were buying his grain.
When everything was to the liking of
the big operator be put his whole stock
on the market, disposed of It in a day
or two, cleaned up bis half million or
mote,
.leaving those who supposed they
were following him to pocket their
losses, and hide their chagrin if tbey
could.
Board of trade operations are Invar
iably conducted for those who are on
the inside. The vast fortunes made In
the wheat pit and on the Btock market
would be impossible were it not that a
sucker is born out in the country every
minute and seemingly never learns to
be anything else than a suaker, no mat
ter how long he lives.—Cedar BapldB
Republican.

In presenting this subject for discus
sion 1 consider it one of the most im
portant problems with which the farmer
has to deal. There is such a variety of
circumstances and conditions as we
Qnd them on different farms. Ueneral
management of the farm like other vo
cations is presumed to be carried on for
the purpoie of a livelihood and the ac
cumulation of the almighty dollar.
However the making of money on the
farm should not occupy ail our thoughts
and require all our energies. The edu
cation of our children and the welfare
and happiness of our families should
ever hold a prominent place In our
minds while we are wrestling with the
problems Incident to the management
of the farm. If we would improve or
even retain the fertility of our farms,
and every farmer should try to do this,
we must keep all the livestock our
farms will maintain. Just what kind
of stock or bow much for any given
number of acres, no one can state. The
variation in soil, the difference In the
construction of buildings, arrangement
of yards and stable*, the quantity and
accessibility of watp»K and' vatlous de
tsifrall tiave a boarik^'oa what can be
produced and the amount of labor re
quired to handle the stock on the farm
Not long since I heard two or three
men dlBcussIng stock and dairymatters,
one thought if a man had land" enough
to keep forty or forty-tlve head of cattle
he might just as well have them all
cows as he would be likely to take bet
ter care of them than he would if he
only kept ten or fifteen and the balance
young Btock. I presume It did not oc
cur to him that It would be very diffi
cult on some farms to obtain milkers
for forty or more cows. On the other
hand if there are three or four children
in the family old enough to milk, a large
dairy may be carried on with success
for a period of years. Let us not forget
that one or more of these children
Bbould be in school a good part of the
time for six or eight years. Again, the
older of these children soon attain the
age at which they go out to rustle for
themselves and the farmer must hire
help perhaps both in the house and out.
ThiB question of hired help has be
come quite serious the last few years
and doubtleBB hdB somewhat to do with
many "tired" farmers moving to town.
If one is bo situated that he can devote
bis entire farm to the production of
milk or butter I know of no other farm
product that will bring bo much money
and at the same time take bo little fer
tility from the farm. Suppose you sell
one ton of butter at twenty-five cents
per pound, you have 8500 for your load,
which if you had spread the butter on
your farm it would not have enriched
the land equal to one load of barnyard
manure.
The production of good meat is per
haps the next best item from which we
may obtain the "stuff" that heipB us
over the rough places. In the manage
ment of the farm one should produce a
variety of good meat. I would empha
size the word good, fur like butter It is
the good article that brings the remu
nerative price, I care not whether it be
beef, pork, mutton, poultry or horse
meat. Yes, horse meat. Oo not mis
take my meaning, If you raise a good,
well bred horse, weighing 1200 pounds,
and he brings you 8120., not an extrava
gant price, you have ten cents a pound
for that piece of horse- flesh, while we
were doing fairly well for a period of
five or ten years if we could sell a bunch
of steers of equal weight at five cents a
pound. Beef and mutton can be pro
duced somewhat'cheaper than pork or
horses from the fact that they may be
grown mostly on grass and roughage,
while the hog requires more grain acd
in growing horses there is more risk
from accidents, let us keep this fact
in view, it is the best bred and best
bandied stock that brings the top of the
market. When it is known that a farm
er has a lot of choice
Btock
«5i1
beneath my wings,"
This comforts, dear,
One wing o'er Mteaand one o'er me
So we are near.
And though our paths be soparate,
And thy way Is not mine,
Yet coming to the mercy seat,
My soul will meet with thine,
And "Got* keep watch tween thee and me."
I'll whisper there, .•
He blesseth thee, Heblesieth me.
And we are near.

there will be
some one at his farm every week In the
year to buy it.
1 cannot urge too Btrongly the keep
ing of all the live stock our farms will
carry. To illustrate—in 1870 I talked
with several farmers of the Mohawk
valley who were loading baled hay on a
canal boat for shipment to .New York
City. On asking the price on board
they replied only 810 per ton, they could
not understand why it*should not bring
915 to 818 as It had ten years before,
and at the same time the crop was
growing less every year, it issaid that
some of those eastern farms will not
MANCHESTER, LOW A, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY VOL. XXIX—NO
bring more than half what they would
thirty years ago. Why? -Because the
owners have robbed them of their
fertility ad shipped It to the large
cities, and fear it will be a cold day
before It is returned. Oa the other
hand 1 call to mind several farms in
Northern New York on some of which
I worked when In my 'teens They
were w?ll stocked then and have been
ever since, it being necessary to some
times buy western feed stuff to carry
over the stock during a period of
scarcity. Some of the owners have fine
residences In town and rent their farms
which are valuable property and cannot
be bought for a song.
The rotation of crops should receive
more careful attention. There are some
lands along our rivers and brooks that
oannot*well be utilized only as per
manent pasture, but nearly all our
prairie lands may be made tillable by
tiling and when the rock are taken out
they are bb productive bb any part of
ouSfatms. On a farm that can all be
cultivated commencing with afield
well seeded, mow for hav three seasons
not turning stock on after haying till
late in the fall, then pasture three years
or longer, the longer the better for the
land, break up in the fail and plant
with corn not more than two or three
seasons, sow to small grain and seed
with clover and timothy, equal quanti
ties by measure. Sometime the condi
tions are unfavorable for a "catch"' of
grass seed, in that event sow timothy as
soon as possible after harvest on the
Btubble and harrow lightly, follow with
the clover early In spring. We may
do with less hay laud and use it as pas
ture providing we have a good silo
which seems to be the best means yet
devised to utilize a portion of our corn
crop. It comes In about as handy for
the farmer- in rough winter weather
as a good cistern with plenty of soft
water does for hlB better half.
In relation to pure bred BtOck Iowa
ranks as the leader of the sisterhood of
states in the number of pure bred anl
malB. She has more importers of draft
horses and more high grade draft horses
than any other state. Her 300 breed
ers of pure bred Herfords, sold one
fourth of all the pure bred Herfords
sold in America last year. Iowa has
one-third of all the Aberdeen-Angus
cattle In America, also more Short Horn
breeders than any other state in the
Union, and more pure bred Galloway
cattle than any other state. Also many
line beards of the dairy type as shown
by the 140,000,000 pounds of butter
made annually. With suob a large
number of pure bred animals within
our atate to select from, would
seem that In the near future our farms
can all be stocked with pure bred ani
mals of any breed or type the farmer
may desire to keep, We need not go
wild because meats have been unusual
ly high the past year, or flatter our
selves they are going to remain so.
With careful selection and judicious
handling there is little fear but there
will will be a margin above the cost of
production. Where the farm Ib large
enough I prefer a variety of stock—
horses, cattle, sheep and Bwine. Then
plan to raise two or three colts so you
can sell a good horse or pair every year,
raise some calves, the heifers to take
the place of cows you don't care to keep
any longer, and the steers for the butch
er or buy a few to make a carload and
when ready, ship. Plan to have a car
load of sheep or hogs to ship. In this
way you get quite a sum of money In a
lump and can use it to better advant
age than if received in little dribs.
While well bred-horses are worth ten to
fourteen cents a pound, fat steers, hogs
and sheep fluctuating around live or
si!( cents, butter twenty-five cents,
chickens and turkeys—well, they roost
high—, with our daily mall delivery at
our doors, with the telephone by which
we may communicate with our neighbor
at any time, our free school libraries,
our experimental stations, our schools
for stock and corn judging, all these
Advantages and others are within our
reach if we will put forth the effort.
To the young people who are.hesitat
ing whether it is best to have the farm
sold and all move to town, 1 would ask
in all candor—Is the future outlook for
farming a gloomy one?
1 imagine 1 see a very material
change in conditions as compared with
fifty years ago. As my thoughts go
back to those days it seems that nearly
everv part of farm labor that we then
called hard work Is now done by hors
es while we sit on a spring seat and
drive and yet we think carrying on the
farm is such hard work.
Let us endeavor so far as we can to
encourage and assist those who have
some knowledge of farm life and those
who desire to follow that as a vocation
that they may start aright, aiming al
ways to produce the best of its kind,
practicing economy, perseverance, in
tegrity and industry, then in after years
they will not regret the day when they
assume the "General Management of
the Farm.''

MEDICINE IN I A N E S
Peculiar Properties of the Uertn,' ,t(J,
Indian Doctor* tie,
An Interesting character, frequwufj
met with in the Andes, Is thc cullu
guayas, op Indian doctor. He is every
where and Is trader, tinker, peddler,
fortune teller, conjurer and magician.
His knowledge of botany is as mys
terious as it is comprehensive, and the
most astonishing stories are told of Ills
cures.
A man in Lima was lying at the
point of death with a disease which
ballled physicians who brought dlplo^
mas from the medical schools of Paris
and Vienna. One evening two of the
physicians stood talkin jf the case at
the sick man's door, without noticing
a humble, barefooted Indian who lean
ed against the wall. As tbey departed
the Indian entered the patio and asked
to see the sick man. The family re
ferred him to the attending doctor,
who, amazed at his audacity, exclaim*
ed:
"What do you know about a disease
that puzzles the best physicians In
Lima?"
"I have herbs that will cure every
thing," said the callaguayas.
The doctor Bmiled in scorn and turn
ed away. The Indian opened his pack,
took from a paper a single leaf and
banded it to the physician, asking bim
to smell It. He did so, and Instantly
his nose began to bleed, and be waa
unable to stop it.
The Indian stood stolidly by for a
time, then banded him another leaf,
saying, "Smell that and tbe bleeding
will stop."
The result was what he promised,
and the physician was interested. In
the end the callaguayas saw tbe sick
man. He selected herbs from his stock,
brewed a tea and gave it to the patient,
and tbe sick man recovered. "Be

A Marvel of Science.
During a visit to the south with an
eclipse expedition some years ago an
eminent American professor met an ofd
negro servant whose duty It was to
look after the chickens of tbo establish
ment where he was staying. The day
before the eclipse took place the pro
fessor in an Idle moment called the old
man to him and said, "Sam, if tomor
row mortrlng at 11 o'clock you watch
your chickens you will find they will all
go to roost"
Sum was skeptical, of course, but
when at the appointed time next day
the sun in tbe heavens was darkened
and the chickens retired to roost the
negro's astonishment knew no bounds.
He approached the professor in awed
wonder. "Massa," he asked, "how long
ago did you know dat dem chickens
would go to roost?"
"Oh, a long time," said the professor
airily.
"Did you know a year ago, massaY*
"Yes."
"Then dat beats de debil!" exclaimed
the astonished old man. "Dem chick
ens weren't hatched a year ago!"
No Laundrieii In China,
"It's the fuqnlest thiug to me," said
an old sea captain who for many years
was in fiie China trade, "that nine out
of every ten Chinamen who come to
this country open laundries and engage
in a business which does not exist in
their native land.
"As every one knows, the Chinese at
home wear soft cotton and woolen gar
ments, according to the season, and
there is not a pouud of starch in all
China. Stiffly Btnrcbed clothes are un
known, and the Chinese men do not
do the washing as they do iu this coun
try. Neither is there any regular laun
dry in the Flowery Kingdom. There
fore it is more than passing strange
that Chinamen should all come to
America and engage in a trade so for
eign to their home industries."—Balti

Disguised Hands Always Bad.
"Here is a truth," says a handwrit
ing expert In the Philadelphia Record,
"that is as widespread as the ether: A
disguised hand always tries to be poor
er thau tbe reul haud. That axiom Is
a great help to us experts. For In
stance, when a letter done In a dis
guised hand is brought to us we al
ways know that the writer of the let
ter Is In a higher station than the band
would lead us to infer hence in our
detective work we are able to save
much valuable time by eliminating all
persous socially below the appearance
of tbo letter and concentrating our at
tention on those only who are above
it
Astonndins Memories.
Horace Vernet is the best example
of visual memory. He could paint a
striking portrait of a man, life size, aft
er having once looked at bis model.
Mozurt had a great musical memory.
Having heard twice tbe "Miserere" in
the Sistine chapel, he wrote down the
full score of It There are soloists who
during twenty-four hours can play the
composition of other masters without
ever skipping a note.
A Difference.
"Actors ore not much like ships," re
marked Hamlett Egg thoughtfully.
"Why this observation?" Inquired
Brutus De Trick.
"Well," answered Egg, "ships are
sometimes stranded on the rocks. Ac
tors are stranded because of a lack of
rocks."—New York Times.
