The Farmer's Advantages. I From the Dei Moluei Nuwi. The old question why young peo ple loft the farm was easily answer ed. A harder question would have been why anybody stayed there. The farmer had little society, no luxuries, no conveniences. If he wanted to talk to a neighbor he had to hitch up a horse or walk a mile. His children had to walk a mile or two to school, and when they got there they found a little bleak wood en building with the most primitive arrangements for instruction. lint the farm is a different place now. It is not a prison, but a coun try seat. It has most of the advan tages of the city and a good many that the city would be extremely glad to get. Tbe Lines Forming. (Prom the Codar Rapids Gazette.) I" rom north to south, in the vicin ity of the Mississippi river are being formed the lines for the fight against boodling, trusts, political subservi ency to gamblers, watered stock and the other ills that have come to afflict business through political conspiracies. The lines are being formed as rapidly as were the lines for the fight against slavery, and the cleavage is as well defined. Begin ning with the north, LaFollette and Van Sant in Wisconsin and Minne sota represent for the time being the forces of Reform. In Iowa, Cum mins has been made the standard bearer. In Missouri, the center of the line, Folk has been forced into great prominence, while it might be cited that Iowa and Missouri are re inforced by Nebraska under the leadership of Bryan. While Bryan is not in official position hardly any other Nebraskan is known in leader ship and there is no donbt as to his enlistment for the war. The line has been broken by the refusal to admit Oklahoma as a state, but Texas has the best and moBt effective laws regarding trusts to be found in the whole union. Arkansas is in line and it may bo supposed that the de velopment will be noticed in other states in this part of the country. In a party way this condition has no significance, except that the par ties will conform to the conditions or be submerged. The development of the idea is as natural as the growth of a crop after the ground has been prepared and the seed sown. It cannot be stopped any more than the cowardly statutes adopted at the time stopped the fight against slav ery, and while the present issue may develop no John Brown it is likely to develop in some one, or several of these states, governors who, by ener gotic actions, will become the John Browns of the movement. A guess would place this leadership in Mis souri. The fight in that state so far has been against bribery and bood ling, but the connection with certain trusts is intimate, and should Folk be elected to the governorship, of which there is little doubt, it is evi dent tliat he would not hesitate to strike and to strike with all the force at his command at any corpora tion or other agent of corruption and wrong-doing. Such action might call up a contest with the federal courts, that in several cases have been made to represent the corpora tions, just as the courts in ante-bel lum days had been made to repre sent slavery. The sentiment against tho trusts in these western states is genuine and is so strong as to compel the parties in power to take up the movement, although in each of the states there are factions of these parties still anxious to sell popular rule to the corruptionists and bood lers for the price of the offices and other rewards. This is nothing new, There were factions in the whig, re publican and democratic parties be fore the war of the rebellion, and the republican party was organized to check the spread of slavery, not to abolish the system. The minority parties of the time, the parties that never electod a president, outlined the true policy of the government and foretold the liberation of the negro, and having done their work perished from the face of the earth just as the smaller minority parties of this timo, the really evangelical part of progiessive politics, are like ly US do. The two Dakotas have al ready expressed their positions, re publicans and democrats alike re fusing to confonn to the eastern idea, the idea that would place the throne of money and commerce in the cast and that would make prov inces of other sections of the country. All the country west of the Missis sippi, and a great deal of the coun try south of the Ohio is arrayed against the domination of the trusts and monopolies in politics, while New Jersey stands to the movement for South Carolina. tt J-Li. v* -t A. ft Treading Water.

He had an elevated opinion of the girl's talents for business when she told him, at the end of the time that the products of tho hen's industry and that of her offspring in the two years was •$0-1 in the bank and 200 chickens that would soon bo ready for skillet. If the land is not naturally rich and fertile, it should be fertilized with well rotted barnyard manure. tb. The seed may then be sown by stopping up some of the holes of the ordinary grain drill so as have the rows in the neighborhood of 30 inches apart. Millet makes an ex cellent soiling crop, and when grown in thiB manner wUl do well, even in comparatively dry years. Feeding should begin rather early so as not to let the crop become too mature before it is all used up. Should part of it not be used for soiling it may be cut for hay, but when raised for hay it is preferable to drill in the seed broadcast at the rate of about two and one half bushels per acre.—Farmer's Tribune. Cornstalk Disease. In the course of a month or two, and before that in many sections, farmers will be turning their cattle into the cornstalk fields and ther will be as usual more or less danger of deaths from this so-called disease. We wish we could tell our readers just what this disease is and how to avoid it. We can not. In many instances the so-called cornstalk disease is probably nothing more or less than impaction of tlie stomach caused by indigestion or by lack of salt and water. Where this is the case it can be avoided by intro ducing cattle to this dry forage grad ually that is, turning them in on a full stomach and for a short time only at first. Where they can have access at the same time to a field of blue grass or second crop clover and arc not allowed to remain more than an hour or two a ay at first, thero improbably but little danger. Many farmers think that this is all there is in it in other words, that cornstalk disease, so-called, is sim ply an over-gorge of the exceedingly dry and brittle leaves and husks of the cornstalk. In this, however, they are mistaken. Cattle sometimes die very suddenly when put into some corn fields, and post-mortems show there is no impaction of the stomach whatever, while at tho same time cattle may feed freely and profitably in adjoining fields. Our scientists have not got to the bottom of this as yet and may not for some time to come. Inasmuch as cornstalk disease never occurs where cattle are fed the corn fodder, whether whole shredded, or silage, the one infall ible preventive of tills disease is to harvest tho whole plant and put it in the silo, and until this is done will have every] year more or loss cases of this disease. Sooner 01° lat er we.must come to this* The high price of our land will force us to if nothing else. In the meantime all we can do is to urge great care in introducing cattle to the stalk fields and in case deaths occur where there is no impaction of the I The ProcfM of Manufacture In Not So Simple nit Mtjrht lie Imagined From the Low Price of the Finish ed Prodact—Uow They Are Made. Anions the little thing.s noon In daily life ahout which most people know cry little 1B gave Millet for Soiling ana Pasturage. For soiling purposes millet is used in many localities with considerable success. For this purpose better re sults arc usually obtained by using the large Qerman millet or the Jap anese millet. When millet is sown late, after rye, winter wheat, or even after early oats, it is preferable to sow in drills 30 or 30 inches apart, so as to admit of cultivation a few times. The reason for this is obvi ous. At that time of the year we usually have more or less drouth, and since a millet crop draws heav ily on the soil water, it becomes an important matter to so treat the laml as to conserve the soil moisture as much as possible. Being late in the season it is also necessary to force the crop along as rapidly as possible, and surface cultivation is valuable in this respect. Grasping a small chunk of clay in eaoh band, the artist begins work to fashion roughly two plpes( at the same time. Rolling the clay between a table and his palms, he quickly produces two carrot shaped and pointed rolls that bear little or no resemblance tu tbe article when it shall be fiiklshed. With incredible speed the fashioning Of these rolls continues, for ahead of tbe expert Is tbe problem of manufac turing something like seventy-five graes of pipes within tbe week. Then The reason we say weUrt^t«l jftWa taa«r.tvtye 4i»i» Uey ure is because if rough and course manure be used at this time of the year the capillarity of the soil would be injured. Where millet is seeded after the grains mentioned it will be necessary to plow the land, but plowing should be very shallow and we would prefer to disc the manure in on top of the plowed ground and and afterwards harrow the land un til the seed bed is fine and in good tilth.

BUSINESS ABOUT WHICH MOST PEOPLE KNOW VERY LITTLE. tho common, ordinary clay pipe. In almost every clgur shop Indow, in the mouth of every third luboror met unil even lu the nursery this snow white little instrument of comfort und amusement may be seen, yet few know, for Instanco, that most of the clay pipes sold in this city of domestic make are manufactured In New Jersey. Woodbrldge is the name of tlie queer little town given over to this odd manufacture, and a trip through -one of the factories of that settlement, to follow the pipe from the time it Is dug as clay to the time It appears ready for the market. Is Inter* esting. Looking at the chunks and lumps of clay as tbey ere transported from tbe banks to" tiki factories, one would iard]y believe that tbe snowy, cheap Httle article could have been manufac tured from material so different in color. Tbe color of this clay before it burned 19 dark gray, like cement nor Is tbe process of manufacturing one of these pipes as simple as might be imagined from the absurdly low price. As tbe clay cornea Into the fac tory !t Is divided finely and put to soak *n water for ten to twelve hours. Tills soaking Is to divide tho clay to its smallest possible particles so that in the ensuiiig process it will not cake or lump and will work smoothly and evnly. This attained, the cluy Is put Into a ''pug" mill, where it is stirred by machinery until it gets stiffer and stlffer, finally becoming as stiff as doygh. In this state the clay Is rough* molded into lumpB and distributed among the plpemakere, who begin the first step in the life of the bumble cre ation. put away to dry Mmer stiffen so that once shaped they will not fall readily to pieces. After that the clay Is ready for molding. Tbe ordinary mold consists of two pieces of iron blngcd on tbe side and opening like sewing box. Most of tbe little factories have numerous molds, from tbe common, unadorned sort that comes In two pieces and Is lutended for the ordinary plain pipe to all sorts of elaborate patterns that come In sis or eight pieces and are made of brass and Intended to fashion pipes In imi tation of wooden models that happen to be in vogue. The plpcmaker grasps one of the shapeless rolls, tilts tbe fat ebd upward, which at once gives tbe suggestion of a pipe, and runs a wire through the pointed end, out of which tbe stem is to be pressed. This roughly fashioned clay Is then put into the mold, wblcb Is jammed shut, while at the same timo a plunger Is pressed to enter tbe mold and to press out the clay so as to form the bowl. With a dull knife the clay pressed out at tbe side of the mold is Bbnvod off with a single lightning stroke by the expert, and tben once more there must be a drying process, this time in a room heated to about 83 degrees, where, as before, the pipe Is kept for twelve hours. Except that tbe pipe Is of its original gray color and soft and supplied with the "burs" where the molded ends are joined, it Is now practically finished. Tben comes tbe process of shaving off the burs. At this stage the pipe still retains considerable dampness, so that the clay may be cut smoothly, while ut the same time a wire Is again drawn through tbe stem, so as to ln suro prQper draft All is now ready for tbe pipe In Its final state except that It needs to bo burned. Por this purpose it Is put Into a cylindrical ves sel twelve Inches high and as much In diameter. This Is known as a "sag ger." Set one against the other, the pipes are adjusted solidly in the sag ger, wblcb will hold something like a gross of pipes properly packed. If tbe pipes consist of the more fancy de signs—that is, merely pipe bowls that are to be provided with mouthpieces of wood or rubber—the saggers will hold as many as two gross of pipes. Kino of these saggers filled with pipes are known as a stand, and a medium sized kiln will hold twenty-one stands and will burn them all at the same time. For five hours the beat In tho kiln Is kept at a moderate tempera ture. After that it Is allowed to run up until at tho end of twelve or four teen hours It is driven to a white heat, which gives the pipes their Bpotless white finish.—New York Times. Beecher and ISmerson.
