THS JkAIIXLA-iTIO The Parmer of the Future. The Rural New Yorker has been publishing the opinions of some of its correspondents on “The Firmer of the Future ” Here are some of the suggestive observations of a correspon dent wbo locates the farmer’s rn'llen nium somewhere about the year 1915 : “The size of farms will be limited by statute. One person will not be al lowed to gobble up everything adjoin ing him simply because he has the money to do it. Most of the farms will be owned by the men who till them. There will still be a few tenant farmers, but the rent they will pay, after deduct ing taxes and two per cent on whatever amount is still unpaid, will be applied to the purchase of the land. The man wbo sells a farm will be permitted to secure the unpaid balance with a mort gage, but he will not be allowed to foreclose that mortgage within 10 years from the date of the last payment od the principal, provided the buyer an. nually pays all taxes and two per cent on the amount due and unpaid. Ou foreclosure of the mortgage the seller will be obliged to refund to the buyer all money paid him, less an annual interest of two per cent on the amount dae and unpaid, and reasonable indent nity for deterioration of the land, buildings, etc , while under his control “There will be no fences except those around pastures and barn lots, and these will be composed of twisted, loop ed and curled with barbs one eighth of an inch long. “Farmers will individually cultivate a smaller acreage and do it thoroughly and scientifically. Instead of robbers, they will be wardens of the land. The needs of the soil will be ascertained by experts employed by the Government, and farmers will supply these needs intelligently and economically. “A smaller number of expensive im plements will be kept by individual farmers. Harvesters, corn-buskers, haying machines, potato planters and diggers, etc., will be owned by skilled machinists, wbo will make a living by contracting for and doing the work. “There will be two distinct kinds of plows in use. One will cut a wide 'furrow, and by means of a removal mold board either the soil over as now, or allow it to glide back over the share through steel breakers and fall crumbled into the furrow. The other will cut a narrow furrow and run deep, and will be used for special purposes. B>th will have light wheels and the plowman will r ; de. “All crop cultivating will be surface work, Deep root cutting, gouging and hilling will be things of the past. The new implements will thoroughly stiF the entire surface, working close to the plants, and will have steel knives for cutting off large weeds and num erous narrow teeth for uprooting small ones, all of which will be completely under the control of the operator who can either ride or walk. 1 Corn husking will be done by ma chinery The implement will take a row of corn as fast as a team oan walk, cut the stalks off close to the ground, strip off the ears, busk and drop them into a wagon driven ajpngsids, cut the stalks into half-inch pieces and either shoot them into a light frame, drop them in heaps or rows, or scatter them evenly over the field to be p'owed under. “More corn and stalks will bo con verted into silage. Tho crop will be cut and bound into small bundles by machinery, shocked up and partly cured and then cut into the silo. More silage -and less hay wdl be used on tho farm 4 ‘Wagons will be broad tired and low down. The box will be steel bound and so constructed that one or both sides or ends can be removed almost instantly. Tbe bottom will be in two or more sections, easily taken apart and put together. “Small, electric engines of one to four horse power will be found on many farms. They will be sold at a price which will enable almost any farmer to own one, and will be used for grinding feed, pumping water, etc., etc. “The art of making malleable glass will be discovered, and many acres in the Northern States will be covered with it and devoted to growing vege tables and semi-tropical fruits for the local markets. Many farmers will cover their barnyards, piggeries, etc , witli a roof composed of this material and sheet aluminum steel. 4 Sugar beets will be grown on thousands of acres in our Western States, which are now devoted to corn oats and wheat, and we shall be making 75 per oeot of all the sugar we consume. “The mines and manm'actories of the country will be managed in the intcre*t* of the workers and consumers, and not, as now, for the enrichment of a few millionaire barons. Coal will be reso'd at a price that will enab'e the tiller of the soil to run two stoves in his house without fearing bankruptcy. “Farmers will be as prominet in tl e councils of the Nation as lawyers now ar, and their interests will receive as much attention as those of other class's. They will displsy more practical com- mon sense and good judgment in the management of their own business.” [There is likely to be a realization of 1 a good deal of this writer’s imaginary picture, especially in the last para graph. But the trend of the times leads directly away from the realization of most of his prophecy. The variety and amount of machinery introduced would swamp a small farmer who at tempted to work single handed, into bankruptcy. Corporation, union of forces and capital, is the order of the age. Capital and labor are being com bined by corporate law which leaves the efforts of individuals hopelessly in the rear, and for the better and more profitable employment of labor saving machinery large fields arc imperatively necessary. And this is fir more likely to occur ia the farming of the fu'ure than contraction to small areas and individual effort. We witne.=s all kinds af productive interests uniting theit strength under corporation laws except farmers. And why should not farmers pursue a sim ilar course? When viewed by the light we have on other lines oftbusiness that are conducted by corporate power, it would seem that farming might be con ducted on tbe same plan. A tract of country five miles square would embrace an area cf 25 square miles. Suppose tbe owners of the land in this area should conclude to form a corporation and merge the whole in one stock company. Each member of the corporation would have stock issued to him to tbe appraised value of bis prop erty. A board of managers with piesident, secretary, etc., as all corpora tions are officered and managed, would conduct tbe -business. The land would not be worked in patches as at present, but would be laid out in largo areas devoted to tbe crops intend ed to be raised. Stock barns, would be located at points most convenient. Horses at one, feeding steers at another, dairy sows at a third, pig sties and sheep folds all araanged and at conven ient distances apart. Machinery and teams of the best would be kept lor work and animals of tbe best breeds only raised and kept. The orchards would bu cared for by a man specially | trained in horticultural work. All manures would be inspected and none used but what deficiency in the soil . called for, Many hands would bo em ployed and boarding and lodging houses would be centrally located and the dinner for the men taken to the point* where they were employed. Every economic arrangement would soon be provided which a goo i administrative , brain dictated. The former land i owneis, now joint stock owners, could tabor as formerly aod have credit fur , their work on tbe books of the company or receive wages. Tho dairy could be run to the best advantage and every thing utalized. The families c uld , occupy their old homestead wiih garden suffieient to supply the table with vege tables while of pou'try could be raised, the household being relieved from the-care of the farm. A telephone from each bouse to the cen tral office would order beef, flour, gro series, etc., such as Deeded. Of* course such an establishment would j.uiclnsc every thing at wholesale and supply all the members at cost with what ever was needed. A carriage could be ordered to the door by telephone, all order* going to and from the central iffiee where the accounts were kept. There are numerous details which the reader can supply. Such a system won'd not be d fficult. Suppose halt a dozen or more similar corporations were forme adjoining eaoh other. Tbe crops could be marketed in bulk if ail joined and tbe best prices secured. Everything eould be bought of first hands and fitly per cent, sometimes a hundred per oent, saved. All that is necessary to conduct -ueb corporation farming is education in that line- Country life would no longer be irksomo drudgery and lone sime, but would be sought by denizen* of the city, wbo would flock to the country in the summer, where they would be able to find good accommoda tions and in place of spending fabulous sums at watering places and summer resorts, ten of thousands of dollars would be expetded by the urban pup. ulatioo among their rural neighbors to betterment of both. The Agncul ■ tural College, the Institute, the Exper irnent Station, the Grange and the Alliance arc all educating the farmer* on this bne, and many who are living now .nay witness such a revolution it. igri ulture] ■ ■' ■ ■■■■- ■■ ■ Is Consumption Incura ble* R.-ad the following: Mr 0. 11. Mor ris, Ncwatk, Atk., says: “Was down with abcess of lungs, and fii >nds an* physicians pronounerd me au iut-ura trie consumptive. Began tukiug Dr. King’s New Discovery forconsumptiou. . am now ou my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my fa'm. It is tbe fiaest medicine ever made." Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, i says: “Had it not been for Dr. King’s , New Discovery for consumption I would have died of lung troubles. 1 Was given up by dootors. Am now in best of health.” Try it. Sample bot tles free at L. li. Kirk's drag store. Make Farmers of the Smartest Boys. “As a usual thing we think our smartest noys should be something else than farmers.” said W, J. Kinnie at a i recent New York institute. “My idea > is that it should be the smartest boys to be made farmers, and the duller ones ! should go iDto the other professions • We want farmers to represent us, and • the one great reason why not at I the front, is beeuse we do not have ! enough ot the talent born to us kept on ■ the farm.” 1 If the fowls on the farm do not pay, 1 the fault is not with the fowls blit with : the farmer. The indifferent treatment they receive and tho almost total disre gard of the laws of production are re sponsible for the result. It is a slow and dilfiv'ult task to overcome prejudice on the part of men who will not listen : to any other arguments than those which agree with their own notion of things. But iu spite of this fact the development of farm pou’try interests - gees on, and more profit therefrom is b ing realized year by year. Laying hens thrive with plenty ol sunshine and a liberal allowance of various kinds of food both green and dry, and a constant supply of water, and some form of lime. The main points in poultry raising are, clean houses, ne ts and roots and an abun dance of load and plenty of pure drink ing water, and be very careful about the latter. If your fowls haven’t free access to water that is pure, don’t fail to supply it. Poultry can’t thrive if neglected in any way and -especially in 1 wter. i Some Startling Facts. The official returns from Boards of Health show that nearly three-fourtbs 1 uf all deaths are from consumption. , When we think over this fact it is really awful, though every ease started with a I simple cough or cold. Realize how important it is to check this terrible malady which can be done by using I pan-tina cough and consumption cure. • Price 25 and 50 cents. Trial buttles , free at G. G. Sill’s drug store.

Answers to the Rhyming Riddle. The following correct solutions were received in answer to the rhyming riddle publisbe d last week: Rising Sun, Md., Jan. 24 ’9l Mr. Editor: —As I was reading 1 over the news in this week’s Journal I saw a riddle and I believe the answer of it is the whale or fish which swallow ed Jonah. In Genesis, chapter 1, verse 17, and chapter 2, verse 2, is found the said name Yours Truly Harvey Truman. Mu. Editor: —As an answer to your riddle I would name the Whale , the fish prepared by Qc.d to carry Jonah ' through the seas I feel assured this is cotrect. Yours with respect. Eugenia M. Kidd Correct solutions were also receiv ed from T. J- Wilson, Jr., Ward, Pa , Wistar M- Balderston, Colora; Miss M. Covington May, Eikton; John A. Hnrtensline, Rising Sun; and one signed “Colora.” A Charlestown reader came to the conclusion that the answer was the Eailh and sent in his reply accord-. ing!y. The following reply came in rhyme, and is from a member of the Wilke*- Barre bar who is weil known in this community. If God made me before the man. And Genesis you closely scan. In chapter first, verse one and twenty You’ll find my name (’ Deo Volente.”) If I was made sans leg or arm, I was created to cave from harm Ono, of whom you’ve often heard— He was tent to Ninevah to preach The Word. But went to’ards Tarshish, this sinful traitor. And said to Ninevah, "I’ll tee yon later.” On shipboard then he quickly lied, Waa* cast in the sea and left for dead. As I piled my way through sea and ocean 1 saw on the eurface a huge commotion Caused by a splash—a man It was plain. So I opened my mouth and took him "out ot the rain.” While far above the waves did roll, And this is how I got that soul. Three days, threo nights it caused me pain, When a voice commanded, "throw him up again." The soni in me that God did placo Was a human one cf Hebrew race That prayed for death at the hands of the Lord. After resting all night 'neath the shade of a gourd. From shore to shore I labor and toil And the light I givo men is from my oil, So now you can guess me. You surely can’t fail. For my name you must sec is only a—whale. *■<•►< SOBERED BY HYPNOTISM. A Man Cured of Intemperate Habits by the Now Science. i Carroll Cook, a young San Francisco lawyer, who was fond of good company and mixed drinks, suddenly astonished 1 his friends about a year au l a half ago by reforming. He drank notliii g, but I no one could git from him the secret of his change of habits. It lias just leaked out that he was hypnotized by Kennedy, (he mesmerist, and that he can’t swallow liquor, as his palate immediately rejects it Hie secret came out at an evening reception this week. Carroll Cook was . a guest, and at supper among oilier arti cles ou the table was a mince p'e. Cook is very fond of mince p'e, and took a piece. As scon as lie put itiahis mouth he began choking. As soon as he re covered every one wanted to know tlie veason of iiis curious attack. “Isn’t there some alcoholic liquor in this pie?” asked Cook. “Of course,” said the hostess, “there’s brandy-in it " “That.settles it, ” said Cook; “you see my palate is liy r puot'z d. ” Asked for au explanation, he said: “When Kennedy uas here I became in timate with the mesmerist. I was then drinking heavily anil rapidly losing my practice. Kennedy said one day, 'Cook, 1 whisky will be your ruin. I command you never to drink alcoholic lquors again.’ He fixed his bright eyes ou me, but I laughed and ordered a drink. When I lifted it I could not control the muscles of my mouth to swallow. I poured the liquor between my lips and it fell out I tried to swallow that liquor as though my life depended upon it, hut it was no use, and from that day to this it has been impossible for me to drink liquor of any kind. One day I was giveu a glass of lemonade in a glass that had a trace of whisky in it, and the drink spluttered all over my clothes. ” Although Kennedy is now in London, Cook says his *pell is ns strong ns ever. —[St Louis Globe Deinccrat. STRIKES IN CHINA. The Workmen Do Not Lose Very Much Time. In China, as Is well known, things are topsy turvy, and eveu workmen’s strikes are different there from those in Western lands. Recently, says the London Times, a strike took place at the great arsenal at Klangnau, where about 2,000 men are employed. It appears tliat the custom has always beeu eight hours’ work per day since that estab lishment was founded, over 2) years ago. Tlie new director, considering this amouut too littlefor the wages paid, resolved to increase it to nine hours. The workmen steadily refused. The majority were against the innovation, and the minority, who were iu con siderable force, were completely intimi dated. Hence, on the morning when the new regulation was to commence, tho steam was raised iu tiie boilers, the whistle sounded, and "the machinery was set in motion ns usual, but not a workman dared'to pass inside the gates ’to work. It looked at first as if this state of things might last for montiis. for both sides showed no symptoms of relenting. But things go by contraries in China. Iu the afternoon the work men, seeing that they made no impres sion on tlie directors, who could easily stop all work for an indefinite time, con cluded that discretion was tlie better part of valor, ai d gave in. Half a day was all tlie timo lost, and tlie extra hour's work is now done as regu'arly as if it had been the rule from tlie first. Ty a very ingenious and original process. Dr J. C.
