Live Stock Remedy for Drouth.
It may not be generally known
that cattle tire raised at a profit
on land worth $250 per acre; yet
this done in almost every country
in Europe. In fact the prices of
farm lands went to so high a figure
that farmers were compelled to
either quit farming or utilize their
lands by growing grass and cattle.
It is probaqly true also that as
farms were converted into mead-
ows and pastures, and as many
cattle kept as the farm could feed
the land became more valuable in
proportion to its lertility. Laud
becomes fertile in proprtion to the
amouut of live stock led thereon
and utilization of the manure pro-
duced. In fact no other system
of farming has ever proved per
manently successful. This is strict-
ly true. It is also true that spec
ialists may farm profitably with-
out cattle or other live stock, but
in such cases neither the farmer
nor the prospeiity are permanent;
and also it takes something more
than a few successful specialists
growing fancy products for fancy
prices to constitute a “system of
of farming.” Therefore the great
truth first announced by Cato, the
Roman Censor, B. C. 188, and en-
dowed by the highest agricultural
wisdom of all the subsequent ages
stands impregnable. It is also
proven by the fact that the most
productive and most valuable
farm lands are now and always
have been those whereon forage
tell us /hat our deep black prairie
soils are inexhaustible, but we al-
so hear the complaint from all
sides that our land dont withstand
the drouth like it once did. That
this is true see the parched crops
that encumber our fields—dead
for want of moisture, on a soil hot
and dry, for lack of humus. If
this is not remedied the ability of
our best soils to stand drouth will
grow less every year. Live stock
supply the humus for drouthy sea-
sons as well as the nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash for all sea-
sou. Wish improved cattle Imrs-'
es, hogs sheep, goats, and o'- -, |

perity, but the prosperity will be I

Loving Words.
A loving word is always a safe
word. It may or it may not be a
helpful word to the one who hears
it, but it is sure to be a pleasant
memory to the one who speaks it.
Many a word spoken by us is
afterwards regretted, but no word
of affectionate appreciation to
which we have given utterance
finds a place among our sadly re-
membered expressions. Looking
back over our intercourse with a
dear friend, we may, indeed, re-
gret that we were ever betrayed
into saying a hasty or a harsh or
unloving word of censure or criti
cism in that intercom Be, and we

Thinks Democracy
Hon. Jefferson M. Levygtlie well
known financier and former Tam-
many congressman, was chaiting
with friends in the lobby of the
New Willard yesterday. Mr. Levy
was clad in a suit of blue serge
and a broad-brimmed Panama hat
came well down over his forehead.
He looked in splendid health and
was as courteous and full of in-
foiuv.tinn as in the days when he
used to give pointers on the mar-
ket end confide inside tips about
the doiugs of congress to his cir-
c of friends at Chamberlin’s.
u can set it down as a cer-
tain 1 ,” he remarked to a Post re-
port “that the democrats are
going to carry the country at the
coming elections. I am not talk-
ing for effect nor because of my
membership to that party. The
people are tired of the republican
regime, both of the White House
and in congress. They are going
to make a change next November
preparatory to a still more impor-
tant change in 1904. We will also
elect a democratic governor of
New York state, though our can-
didate has not yet been selected.”
“What of the general prosperity,
Mr. Levy!”
“Yes, the country is quite pros-
perous, but it is in spite of the re-
publicans, and notbecauBo of their
merits. The present secretary of
the treasury keeps up the blun-
dering methods of his predecessor
Mr. Gage, in regard to refunding
the bonds. If Mr. Gage had re-
scinded that order the country
would have been in far better fi-
nancial status, as it would have
given the banks a basis for the is-
sue of a vast amount of money.”

When a man dies who has bur-
ied a wife there is always a curi-
osity to know if his wife will bury
him beside his first wife or save
him for herself?
One of the fatal mistakes a wife
makes which proves so fatal to
her husband’s love, is to say she
is sick after he has claimed the
the privilege for himself first.—
