municipal and state honors. He now
makes his debut as a national char

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.

Profit from One Hen.
[Prom the Kansas City Jourual.l
A man in South Missouri
his daughter a lien and agreed to
feed it for two years. 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

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.

MAKING- CLAY PIPES.
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.
