ANDREWS TO THE FARMERS Chacctllor f Nebnuki Utiv.nttj Eeautiijinj Hoass. oa TRUTH ABOUT OLEOMARGARINE BUSINESS ..in ii . n n uners it rrceipi tnlrn wnriu Dlsensslon from ,), MrrlliiK .Morton nml Other AKrlciiltarlsts. SIOUX FALLS, S, D., Oct. 2. Harvls Jordan of Georgia, president of the South ern Interstate Cotton 'Growers' associa tion, read a paper on "The Nicaragua i anal, its Importance to Commerce and tho West," at today's session of the farmers national convention. He de dared that the canal was a "great na tlonal necessity" nnd that while the south nnd west "would get a large shnro of tbo benefit, the east would also profit. He do dared that the great transcontinental rail roads were bringing heavy pressure to bear on congress to defeat the canal lcglsla tlon nnd that the producing classes ought to make a counter demonstration, Ho said the farmers wjre shortsighted in op posing the canal. Mr. Jordan referred to President Mc Klnley's Duffnlo speech, pledglhg the ad ministration to support tho project, and expressed the belief that President Roose velt would enrry out that policy. Delegate Wicks of Massachusetts made an address on the "Rice Industry of the South," Tho afternoon session developed the liveliest discussion yet held. Charles Knight of Illinois delivered an nddress on "Tho Truth About the Oleomargarine Dusl ness" and brought out nn earnest discus, slon, In which J. Sterling Morton of No braska, cx-sccretary of agriculture, W. D. Hoard, ex-governor of Wisconsin, and a number of others participated. Tho de bate nt times wns animated. t'liniu'cllor Amlreni' Aititren. The feature of tonight's session whs an address on "The Farmstead Renuttful," by Dr. E. Denjamln Andrews, chancellor of the University of Nebraska. Dr. Andrews said: The telephone, freo rurnl postnl service nnd good roads consplro lo bring mmnto farms Into doer connection with the llvinK world. I'p-to-date srlentttlc farming, mak ing the business pay, supplies the fanner nnd his family the means for rending mut ter nnd for wide education und travel. Wo need lo make the farm home itself rich in cultivating Influences, a live Inspiration, u perennial Joy to the farmer, his wife and children. My observations suit primarily the tier of slates north nnd south to which Kansas. Nebraska and the Dakotns belong, half way between tho Mississippi and the Rock ies. Upon the average farm In the relatively level parts of the country art Is required to render the farm scene delightful. You can straighten water courses or beautify their curves, wnll In their bunks, crente a tew artificial lakes or ponds and put In somo timber patches. These last, If tho trees nro properly chosen, will create profit hb well as beauty. Mr. Clothier, the kov ernment forestry expert, says that hack berry, white elm, bull pine, Platte red cedar, western red cedar, green ash and red nsh will thrive upon the most arid land In Nebrnska, which means, I presume, thiu they will grow anywhere In this tier of states. Amost everywhere burr oak also will grow, nnd. In the lowlands, cotton wool!, Cross strips of these trees east and west several rods wide leaving long narrow ribbons between, will Immensely aid In conserving moisture and In sheltering from the wind, They save the moisture not only by holding It in their leaves and bark, but also by decreasing the velocity of the wind, swift wind vicing with the sun Itself as a dcHlccntlnK power during tho summer. Mr. Clothier, government forestry expert, snys: "There should be a combined effort for the amelioration of the climate. Hot winds urc local In their origin and may be modified or controlled by local conditions. Artificial groven nnd belts of timber stir founding anil crossing every prairie farm, large plantation on the nnndhllls and other tracts of non-agricultural lands, and the extension of the natural belts now In ex istence would nccompllsli much toward controlling tho hot winds." Choose with care the location of your farmstead. If your farm Is mainly level I should say select the highest twenty ocrcH bordering or near tho public road. Tho fnrmstend should be not far from square, the house 2X or 500 feet nt least away from the road, and the barn nt least twlco this distance further away, straight behind the bouse If the configuration ot the ground permits. The location of the bnrn should he lower than that of the house and considerably further from the house than Is usual. Tako nbundant room for the barn, also for each of the other outbuildings. Place a cellar under the barn nnd house nil fertilizing material therein. Do not have an old fnshloned yard for the stock, but good sized paddocks and plenty of them, chnn:; Ing the rattle between them from time o line. There may le a permanent nlecerv nnd a permanent chicken palace either directly or In rear of the barn or flanking its far end as horse bnrn nnd Implement house should tlnnk the main hnrn frnnt lint In all suitable weather both swine and chlcKcns ought to ne conllnert on the pad dock plan the same ns cattle. Place tho horse bnrn to the left of the main barn ns you look down from the house. Oppo site It, to the right, eounlly far from tho main barn, roar an agricultural Implement house where reapers, mowers, plows, culti vators, heavy wngons, etc., can be stored. IlugcleH und light wagons may be kept In ine ..orsu umn, SurrniiiiilliiKa nf the Donne. llv Ihe "hnnm In!" T moan f Yi n .nnji Im mediately surrounding the house, A nice shape for this tract Is the perfect square with the house In the center, the front of the square bordering upon the street. Have the ground slope gradually away from the house In nil directions, malting the house the acme of a pyramid. Ench face of this pyramid should bn a lawn. There Is no real necessity ror n house yard. Ir wood Is burned, have a neat wood house, a little removed from the mansion, or, what Is still better, n cellnr roomy enough to hold the wood pile. Whatever way one looks from any window In tho house one should see what Is pleasant to the view, nothing un kempt, unsightly or dirty. Terraces, banks, borders or flower-ribbons will set off and grace the lnwn on all Its sides save perhaps the front. If the slopo sutnees two or three narrow terraces, ris ing one behind another aflame with flowers may rront the house, separating It from the lawn. Largish flowers or even shrubs might fill tho highest terrnco next the hoube. By this device a terrnce-llke effect can be had with minimum slant. If walks or drives must Invndo the lnwn make them ns few and simple ns possible. at the side or center, and either perfectly straight or curving gently. Avoid angular turnings. Hesldes the Kcnernl tree-settlnc for vour house formed by the orchards, groves nnd forests covering most of your farmstead, you will want n special tree-settine. and on this you ought to bestow extraordinary enre. use irees wnicn win grow lustily In your soil, live long, stand wind, and cast tlUCK simile. The nam should ho visible from tho house, not veiled, nnd It and all about It should be rendered per- it'cuy nrni anil Bigniiy. I.nrm l.'nrdeiia with I'liinrra, Have largo gardens nnd flower gardens.

This plan Is susceptible of Indefinite varia tion. Let us have no room, call It parlor or what not, too nice for dally use. Any part of your house good enough for vou will please your callers whoever thev are. As far as possible avoid paint for Interior wood work, Natural wood. If neatly fin ished, Is more beautiful nnd In the end cheaper. On the other hand, when plas tered walls need something beyond neat hard finish, it Is In most rases better to use paint than paper.

I plead, too, for the women In vour fam ily. It pays to remove u mortgage from your farm: It pays certainly as well to re move furrows from a wife's brow or, whit Is better, prevent them front appearing there. The lives of farmers' wives seem In many cases sadly monotonous, lacking in iiipuriuniiies lor ine aeveiopmeni of jwcemess ami enccr. ineir.wnolo expres.

This is tho truo and fundamental principle of association work. Hut five yeurs have passed slnco this association was formed. The tlmn hnd come for the grain business to take on new metnoos ann improved ways. .Men saw the necessity, they behove It, and seeing and believing wero to these men to do. A great undertuklni; or movement is sure tn i. talked of, nnd the more talked the moro tho movement becomes nn adviinclnu influ ence and then a power, overcoming obsta cles that would thwart nny but a well founded undertnklm; with a sincere, honest purpose. The organizers wero not schem ers. They hnd no dreams of dividends, combinations or selllsh motives, so they labored zealously for hours, days nnd weeks, freely giving; their time for the gen eral good, not receiving nny remuneration, being cheered by the solid growth of th association. Knrly MtniKKles. This organization hnd Its Inception In this city und emanuted from a want recognized by men of experience In local and state organization work, and who knew by past experience the necessity for an association that could control the power of state Influence. This Is ono of tho reasons for the Interest the Cereal club of Des Molncs hns taken In this convention, Members of that club feel that whatever is of their blood must show its breeding traits nnd make good all pedigree records. It hud Its birth November 0, 1830. Tho first meeting was held In Chicago a little less than five years ngo. Its beginning wus on a monger scale. Tho name was tho larger part and nt thnt time might very appropriately bo likened to tho smnll bov'B pnnts, thnt wore much too largo for him, whoso mother remarked "the boy would grow Into them." So ha3 the association grown to Its name until the organization Justifies the nnmo to the fullest sense, ns I think all of us present can testify Thero wero present at that meeting men who felt that thero was need of such an organization and their Judgment then has been backed up by their faith and zeal In tho work slnco: for nearly every on? of the men who Joined nt thnt time Hre still tho organization's stnunchest friends nnd workers and nro hero today filled with determination to push onward In the fu ture, being encouraged by tho success of tho past few years, Tho new organization had to overcome nil tho prejudices that had arisen from former attempts along the lines of nsso elation work which had failed and the Jealousies of somo local nnd state nssocli tlons that were opposod to u movement on so large a scale. ninienlllrn Pnaard, All these difficulties are passed nnd In stead a strong belief. Influence and support have taken their place. All grain In terests nre full aware of the necessity for nn organization, strong, conservative, In fluential, with a national and tnternatlonnl scope, its field wide and expansive, includ ing Interstate work, Intercommerrlal rela tions In ult their various phases, arbi tration nnd npneal boards, common car riers, stute and national laws, terminal and central markets, trade rules and cus toms. gMln Inspection, far Inspection, wcUhlns, telegraph and telephone rlEhts. and customs, Insurance, dissemination of Information, crop and weather bureau and many other subjects of equal Important-.

Tho work Is good and l.uidnblo; the scope wide nnd promising; the spirit of fraternnl fi cling among us individually nnd eollci lively commands us to occupy tills field, to ncrk zealously and strive until we shall nln and command the esteem nnd atten tion of all with whom we may have busi ness relations.

With the old of the national the state as sociation work Is thoroughly supported and thtse various organizations are thereby banded together and their work cemented; they have a common head to go to for hclo nnd to work with for needed reform and advancement along lines helpful to their j membership nnd the grain Interests In gen- erai, tnus aiming a uouoio incentive 10 ineir work. I hnvo previously outlined some of the objects of our work, but 1 will call your attention to a few of them. .Necessity of Arbltrntlon Arbitration Is one of tho many Important treasures that we should put Into active force nt this session. It Is tntvssary for all members, shippers nnd receivers alike. To my mind thero Is not n more iinportutit iniluence wo cut exert upon the trade nnd business, and receive such wide nnd beneficial results to our association ns through arbitration. The plan us it will ho presented or adopted will be arceptnblo to all fair-minded and law-nblillug members, Tradn rules nnd customs will le nn In teresting subject and will help to enlighten us In regnrrl to some of the ntnbiguoiM rules and customs now In vogue, thereby ledsenlng the liability to loss ot not only money and tl-e. but of many a cordial business relation Tho general caring for grain at the tcrmtunl markets In Its various phases, I trust will ho thoroughly and fairly treated from both points, of view shipper nnd re ceiver. Uniform UrndliiK f Grnln, Moro uniform rules nnd grading of grain In central markets Is u much desired re form, and to that end we h.'.ve Invited tho Inspectors of the terminal markets to bn ptosent and to furnish us with type sample of their different kinds nnd graded of grain, und from these men wo hope to gather much valuable Information, and may thli prove tho beginning of a movement alon the line of moro uniform grading. We have accomplished much to Improve the weighing methods and facilities In soma markets, and the work nccnmpliHhcd has proven so sntlsfnctnry that we hnvt; no doubt but that the results nf the coining yenr will be equally gratifying. There H no renson tn further doubt the ability of this ussoelntlon to nccompltsh n vast amount of good work. The time for ques tioning and doubting has pnssetl when we compare the past membership with the present. The policy of the omcers for the past year has been tn solidify the Influence nnd unify the power of all other associations. tuts neing necessary in accompiisn mc great work for which tills association was designed. They believed the necessity for their efforts to bn greatest nlong the lino of ntnilatlon. With thaA accomplished, they would feel Justified In inking up reguliir national work in an nggressive way with the assurance of success. Tremendous Growth. The secretary's report will give the year's work In detnll, The membership last year was about 475. this year nearly 2,000. The affiliated tnemhcrshlp last year wns 20?, this venr 1,645. This shows a net gain of mem bership of 1,625. The treasurer's report will, I trust, be is gratifying lo you ns It Is tn ynur officers. Starting with a debt of $31i.43, nnd Judging from tho preceding year's revenues, we were not Justified In Increasing expenditures for necessary work. The secretary had received the meager sum of $500 for his arduous work the yenr pre viously und could not sufely depend on more. Tho other omcers realized the necessity for not only economizing, but of paying their own expenses, trusting to the futuru to he reimbursed, und under such circum stances they would not be so apt to attend to association affairs as they would under moro favorable circumstances. The closing of tho year, however, finds us In a. more favorable condition, and wo feel sure thnt the nssoclntlon will Justify unil recommend a more liberal policy. To that end allow mc to urge the mem bership to a more generous spirit townrd the nssoclntlon work for the coming yenr, nvotdliig Irritating criticisms and under valuing the strenuous work put upon the officers. Itnlhcr would 1 urpe nnd solicit for them your Individual help and en couragement. Ileport of the Seerelnry. The annual report of the secretary and treasurer, Charles S.

Ptalso Is given the central In illnna division, a now organization which Is doing good work In tho lino of settling grievances, lomo of which havo been of long standing. It spoke of tho light threo years ago on short weights und defective scales and the discovery that many of the short ages ancrulng often resulted from poorly coopored cars and similar reasons.
