Ihng 1:1 some ucnse growing crop
rghum. sowed coni or rape 1 .
Somewhere in this country, perhaps
on some poor farm where the father
wrestles with a sterile soil ami discour
aging conditions, there is growing up a
little towheaded, barefooted boy, get
ting his education partly at the little
red schcolhouse and more by using
bright eyes and sharp cars as he drives
the cows from the pasture, goes hunt
ing and trapping in the woods and
looks for birds’ nests ‘in the orchard
and hedgerow, who will 50 years hence
be the president of this great republic.
Another such boy now herding cattle
on some western plain will ride over
the country in his special car as the
president of some big line of railway,
while another one will be hanging on
to the brake beam of a freight car as
a tramp. It all depends on the boy.

If LION COFFEE were common, ordinary stuff, coffee drinkers would’nt insist on hav

price. If you doubt this, take a single package home and try it.

A man's credit is worth somethin?
to him, no matter how poor he may be.
We know of men not worth $100 whose
credit of a Bradstreet’s rating should
be Al, for should they owe a cent they
could not sleep until the debt was paid.
Then there are others not built that
way. You know ’em.
• The lacteal functions of the cow are
very closely allied with her nervous
system, and so it very naturally fol
lows that anything which excites or
frightens her also seriously deranges
her milk supply. We know of one very
successful dairyman who will never
allow a stranger to speak a loud word
in his cow barn when the cows are
in it.
The hereditary antipathies of ani
mals and birds are very marked. These
antipathies are very noticeable be
tweeu dogs and cats. Dogs and all ani
mals with cloven hoofs, birds and cats,
hawks, eagles and owls are feared b
nearly all other birds, while birds an
animals alike, with few exceptions, ar
sworn enemies of the snake. The kin
bird fights the crow and hawk on sight
while the entire tribe of rodents ar
instinctively afraid of the dog and cat
family. Most of these antipathies ar
inbred as a result of the habit of one
type preying upon the other for food
There is but little fraternity between
different species of wild life, but little
of the “happy family business,” the
community of interests between the
owl, prairie dog and rattlesnake bein
the most prominent one.
A GENERAL MIGRATION.
Not since the west was first settled
has there been such a general migra
tiou of the people in search of new
homes as this spring. Illinois and
Wisconsin farmers have been selling
the old homesteads in those states and
moving to Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska
and have bought cheaper but equally
good farms. The Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska man, after selling out, has
gone to the Dakotas, northern Minne
sota or the so'uthwcst country, he also
doubling the number of his acres
the newer country. Many farmers
well fixed have gone to the Pacific
coast, where they will seek homes in
the milder and more equable climate of
that territory. It has been with farm
lands just as it always is with any
other commodity—when the price be-
ran to advance then everybody want
ed to buy. The movement has been
entirely healthful and normal in its
type and free from any speculative fea
ture.
A man is never poor when he has
good health, .the ability to cat three
square meals a day and is the owner
of a home never so humble and out of
debt. If in that home, there be those
who love him and lock for his eoinius
when the toil of the day is ended, then
is he rich, possessor of treasures wh
the millionaire cannot purchase if lie
be denied them.

We have an inquiry as to when ar.ti
bow to graft old plum trees which nev
er bear fruit with some variety which
will. An old plum tree is not a good
subject for grafting, and we would
rather take our chances with new and
young trees of the variety desired
Still, it may be done by grafting or
better yet, by budding, working only r
part of the tree each year until it is re
built. This work can he done during

CONSOLIDATING COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
The question of consolidating the
country schools is one which is being
much discussed in all the western
states. We think that a mistake is be
ing made in clamoring for the adoption
of a general and forced move on this
line. The fact will ever remain that
there is no better school in America
than the one in the little country school-
house where from 10 to 25 children can
be gathered to be taught by some
bright woman, and wherever schools
of this size and character can bo main
tained the consolidated school is not
needed. But in those districts where
the daily attendance runs from three
to ten children it is probable the sys
tem of consolidation could be used to
advantage. Thus it will come that such
consolidation cannot be made compul
sory and arbitrary, but must be option
al aud voluntary, the aetion taken be
ing governed by purely local conditions.

Wo do not know how the pretty leg
end originated in Germany to the effect
that when the stork built its nest on
the chimney top of a home it foretold
the coming of a little babe to the Som;
unless in some way the fact that the
stork in its annual migrations from
central Europe to Africa, in which ii
lias to cross the wide expanse of the
Mediterranean sea, in a most motherly
way carries on its back two or three of
the little warblers and finches to the
southland which could not otherwise
cross the wide expanse of water.
AUGUST RATIONS FOR THE COW.
It is the time right now to hedge
against that common sight in August
of a bunch of dairy cows standing
fighting dies on some knoll in a bare
and brown pasture, shrinking in their
milk yieid day by day. It is probably
true that cows are far better fed in
winter on the average dairy farm than
they are in summer save for a matter
of six weeks or two months in May
and June. Some sort of a soiling crop
must be had to tide the cows over the
dry -midsummer period, and probably
nothing is more easily provided or will
give better results than sweet corn so
planted that it may be cut and liberal
ly fed during such period. While not
perfect milk making ration, it still
can be so easily furnished by the aver
age dairyman that there is no excuse
for not having it.
Wo are furnishing our friends and patrons with the best line
of Dry Goods ever brought to this city.
Just a few quotations to give you an idea what we have to
furnish you with : Large-size Fleece-Lined, Extra-Heavy Vests

The contest between the spring and
the winter seasons is always marked
more violence than that between
the winter and autumn seasons. Win
ter may be likened to an enemy secure
ly fortified, and each attack made be
comes a bard fight between the ele
ments, and so the season becomes pro
lific in storm, flood and tempestuous
winds, while the autumn change may
be likened to the lying down to die of
an old man whose work is ended and
whose end is peaceful and serene, the
passing of the autumnal days and the
merging of the season into winter be
ing a quiet and peaceful change.
Men will still keep on sowing clover
this spring on rich land with a crop of
oats when more than one-half the time
of such sewing of clover seed is foreor
dained to be an utter failure, the heavy
oats insuring such a delicate and fee
ble growth of the clover that it dies,
and at once, when the oat crop is re
moved and it is exposed to the heat of
the August sun. The surest way to get
a stand of clover is to sow it alone and
pasture the field. The next surest is
to sow it on winter rye. The poorest
Ls to sow it with oats.
If the difficulty connected with secur
ing competent hired help on the farm,
coupled with the high wages demand
ed. results in reducing the size of the.
farms, which it is likely to do, it will
result in good. Large farms aggregat
ing from SCO to 1,000 acres are a seri
ous barrier in the way of the best de
velopment of any country community,
resulting in few settlers, fewer chil
dren, poor schools and a lack of social
privileges. We regard it as fortunate
that but few men are able to make
large farms pay, and many who have
been able to do so when laud was
cheap will find it impossible to do so
now that farm lauds are worth $50 an
acre aud over almost anywhere in the
country.
Here is another inquiry—how to get
rid of purslane in the garden. Purslane
is akin to original sin and never can be
entirely got rid of. It will somehow
crop up in the good man’s garden, just
as some besetting sin will sometimes
crop out in his moral life. Purslane
likes only good soils, and this explains
why it is such a garden pest, gardens
being usually heavily fertilized. It

lAfe of Will Kcbl.-ison.
