Tto Barrisca Press-J mrnal & a idku, roorKLrroa iAMISOK, NEBRASKA Counterfeiters are not very partlou lar about their work. They are satis ied If it U passable. Trouble like cayenne pepper. Is not ery agreeable In itself, but it gives Mat to other things. Kipling has such a dashing and tak ing wy about him that the western papers say lie Is the "real poet lariat." That terrific creature, the British Bon, to, in the Venezuelan instance, but toe plainly become the German tame cat Wherever she is the great American jlrl be she three or three-and-twenty to accustomed to hold the center of Ae stage. Who says agriculture cannot thrive on the rocky fields of Xew England when they yield balls in $100,000 barns Id Vermont? It is no longer necessary to have temples of fame. If a man achieves greatness the doctors will issue bulle tins when he Is ill. Those who are familiar with Mr. Rockefeller's circumstances are of the opinion that the assessment of his per sonal property at ?2,500,000 is entirely within bounds. A Chicago woman declares that "women are not altogether economic flependents. They depend upon man for bread and butter, and have to be good to get it." But not very good. Sweden has two crematories, but the average of cremations in that country la less than one per annum. The jani torshlp of a Swedish crematory would teem to come under the head of light, wsy jobs. Walter Wellman says he will tell any benevolent gentleman with a bank ac unt how to reach the pole. That's tasy. Take a hip as far as the Arctic, nd then walk. P. S. The walking is aot very good. A French scientist has invented fresh air tablets which give out oxy gen in Closed rooms, submarine boats, etc. It is now in order for somebody lo Invent a clean towel tablet for our boarding house. Mr. Kipling has got Into deep trou ble at last. The German poets are be ginning to fire adjectives in nineteen syllables at him in retaliation for "The Rowers," and be doesn't understand enough German to get back at them. The great need of this country is the stern and universal lesson that the law la supreme over all. The only way to teach it'is to make It curb the rich and powerful as well as the obscure and ignorant. When It is shown that the affenses of the great will be overtaken by swift and sure punishment, it will be much easier to make the masses re ipect the law. If one-half of the stories told about the depredations of the cattlemen upon lands that belong to the Government ind consequently to all the people are true, vigorous legal measures should te Instituted against them, and such teems to be the Intention of the ofli lals of the Interior Department. The irea of land unlawfully fenced Is not leflnltely known, but amounts to many Millions of acres. It Is wonderful how much an effort to bring out one's language In clear and crisp form assists one's mind In haplng the thoughts to be clothed r with that language. It is in that re spect like the calm demeanor and slow speech of the old-fashioned friends which helped them to success In busi ness because It compelled them to arold haate and keep clear of Impul sive follies. Let the educators ham Mr on this nail till they drive It home. Tbe buffaloes of the West have been treated almost as wantonly as the for Mts of the East. Of course, It was nee Mary that both should be thinned out sewsiaeraoiy to mane room ror an ad rasclnc civilization, but It was not nec tasary nor was It wise that either afcoald be brought so near the point of anlbllarion. Tbe contempt for and hos- City to the sublime primltivcnrs of Cdo country that have marked an ad MKO more resistless than any of the Jk Dunaio migrations have been pain J and tmpralseworthy features of our fcat eentnry development. ; We would like to have the good old CSaoa.

We have read the rarlrtj el answers, and strikes as that few get at the real farts. It is not unusual ft the farm home to have several boys. Them, are educated in tbe district schools, and are a part of the family usually till they are "of age." Aud when the oldest is 21. he cannot as sume charge of the farm. The father is strong and vigorous, and a bevy of Murdy sons are coming along to jelp in the work. There is not land enough to divide up and the liny at 21 ha nothing but his farm education and a full of clothes for his capital.. He cannot for his own good 1 permit lei to loaf around home, and there is no need of his services as a hired in.in He must go out Into the w orld of labor and do something. If he has been giv en a good education, he may see his way to entering a profession, or a trade, or he may And employment somewhere in an industry. It may be that he is content to become a farm hand, work summers for small wages, and do chores for his board in winter. JSnt the average loy soon uuclerstamK that he must take care of himself. With no capital with which to buy land, he naturally turns to some place where he can sell bis lalior. Hence )i turns his back on the farm, iiot be cause he regards it as an inferior call ing, but simply because there is no chance for him. It is seldom that an only son of a farmer refuses to staj upon tbe farm, and this Is due more to the opportunity given him for a col lege education than because he re gards fanning as lacking in dignity or merit. In a recent Issue of the Independeu there was a novel bit of criticism that makes interesting reading. An Amer ican machinist who lives In England was invited to criticize freely and hot) estlv the Londoners and a Londoner was given space to tell the worst he knew about America. Virgil E. Ftack house, American, dipped his pen In vitriol and declared that the average Londoner is a pitiful type of mankind. He Is densely ignorant, and knows lit tie else than to say "God save the King" in season and out. His life Is monotony intensified and education is mostly gained in the public house which are frequented by women and children. Mr. Stackhouse sees nothinp but mental and moral decay for tin.' average Londoner, who is pronounced "stupid." Herbert W. Horwill, win loves a king like a child loves in mother's milk, and is British to the core, slobbered some when be tried to find the great American fault. lie says we feel too big and haven't a proper sense of the fitness of things; that we don't realize how inharmo nious we are. This may mean a good deal or It may mean nothing, but as examples he found fault with the spread of Christian Science and the decorations at the funeral of Wm. Mc Kinley. He also asserts that "When discipline becomes less abhorrent to the American mind, American life, so cial and Intellectual, will become less afflicted by the spirit of jerkiness." In other words we are condemned for being natural. We keep our feet on the ground and our hearts In the right place. Few of us wear a society mask, and If we are raw and crude, we are at least human. Mr. Horwill did a poor Job at criticizing. If the worst that the world can find to say of America cuts no deeper than a sugges tion that we don't know how to wear our clothes or act when company comes, there Is still hope for the laud of the free. Much has been heard of the life In surance policy holder who dies unex pectedly after paying a premium or two, thereby netting to bis family many thousands of dollars In return for only a hundred or two paid In. He Is a perennial figure and a rather fas cinating one, for human nature Is such that the pleasure of possibly getting back f 10 for every one paid out Is held to be almost qufie worth dying for. In all seriousness, however, It Is one of the most powerful arguments In fa vor of Insurance that the chance of sud den death Is robbed of some of Its ter rors in the knowledge that the home has been protected at a relatively small outlay against penury. But there Is now a later boast In connection with life Insurance in the person of the aged policy holder, who has been Insured for half a century or so, Is glad to con tinue paying premiums and finds com pensation for the fact that he has not gotten the best of tbe company In that be Is Still on deck and that his pig ments have gone to help In the families of his many fellow mem!ers who have passed away. One of these .persons brags Justifiably In a communication to thepubllcand points to the fact that he has "paid premiums for fifty-two years, and hopes to live to pay several more." Other wheel horses of policy holders only a little behind hlni In tbe number of premiums turned in are watching bis ninety years of life In the possible hope that be may be called to a better world In time to let some one of them claim the honor of being tbe oldest liv ing life Insurant Of course there can not be many life policy holders who will tarry on earth long enough to pay more In thsn their families will receive but It Is Interesting to note, as In tbe cases cited, that when they do survive for years beyond their "expectation of life" they seem to be just ss bappy over It as if they bsd come to die early and knew they were going to bit tbe companies tbe hardest kind of a "fa cer." rower froca aa Artesian Wei I.

Men may regard cattle as more ma chines, but the fact remains that they are of a sensitive organization, capa ble of suffering and enjoyment, and that to a degree too often lost sight of. The idea that it Is Just as well for a cow, either In point of comfort or health, to be tied up six months with no exercise, is contrary to all physiological teaching; and that nutri tious food, light and exercise are nec essary to the maintenance of health and a full development. Give cows chance to go out In the sunlight of the warm days in the winter and see bow quickly they go and see the real en joyment depicted on their expressive faces. Even though the milk flow, may be somewhat lessened, will not what Is lost In quantity be made up In qual ity? At any rate, 1 am sure I would much rather eat dairy products of strong, healthy cows than that of ihuse weakened and enervated by close confinement and unnatural food, such as would In an exclusive diet of corn meal. It is not necessary. In or der to give them a little exercise and sunlight to range over an extensive area. Let them out In an ordinary sized yard and they will not do trav eling sufficient to waste any great amount of energy. Farm, Stock and Home.

In cut Too many homes are pestered with mice, and the winter Is a good time to clean them out. E. Hallenbeck, In Farm and Home. Value of Ground Grains. In feeding grain to stock of any kind, there Is no doubt but what the best re sults will come from feeding whole grain pert of the time and ground grain on alternate days. It Is known that feeders In some sections object to the feeding of ground products, but usual ly because of tbe supposed expense of grinding. True, Ibis Is considerable if one has to pay for grinding, but In a neighborhood where considerable stock Is kept It will pay farmers to own a machine In common, bnylng one with a belt attachment so that an engine may be used. I'sually any man owning an engine will do the work for twenty five cents an hour, and a hundred bush els may be ground at small expense. In the feeding of this ground product, one must I guided by experience, but mix tures of corn sn osts are generally de sirable, while to still further vary the ration, these grains may be fed separ ately. This sort of feeding always gives tbe best results snd st s cost compara tively small. 8t Fsnl Dispatch. The Seed ftapply. No seedsmsn can guarantee an even quality of all his aeeds every yesr. In some, unfavorable growing seasons oc cur; In others iasocts and fungus dis eases assail the crops; In fact, there Is not often a season when all seed crops are both large and of prime quality. Those who are Interested In cucumber growing will ha surprised at the high price they will hare to pay for cucum ber seed this year; la Nebraska last iwasoa, where immense crops of su perior need are bow aaooally raised. i I T i j iy' i ii i the crop wss sn entire failure snd the crops elsewhere were variable. Of late years Michigan has become one of tb largest producers of seed peas, but tb crop there last season was very short, so that the cost of seed will be greater, if anything, than in 1002. Some beans, too, are scarce, the wax varieties par tfeularly. There was only a moderate crop of reliable seed of some sorts of squash, that of the Hubbard being leva than moderate. , The price pf onion seed will be about the same, and cab bage seed will be lower. No growei should plant corn this year, at least without first carefully testing it.' Id many of the seed-growing sections the crop had not tluis to mature promptly, ami there will probably be consider able unfit corn for sale. Country Gen tleman. Weed Pecda in Grain. Several hundred samples of timothy alsike and red clover on sule by local dealers In different provinces have been analyzed at Ottawa, Ont. . In some 10 to 30 per cent by weight of sand was found; 63 per cent of the wimples contained over two thousand weed seeds per pound, 44 per cent ovei five thousand and 25 per cent over ten thousand. Not more than 2 per cent of the samples were found free from weed seeds. These facts are In lln with a recent complaint from a Massa chusetts farmer In regard to the rapid spread on his farm of a "new weed with white blossom and a hot, bitter taste." Investigation showed the pre eiue of wild carrot, that pest of the bay field In so many localities. The weed had first appeared in quantify along the borders of a field of oats. Better for the farmer to have paid double price all lils life for the lcst grade of seed oats from a reliable deal er than to have Introduced such a weed In cheap grain seed. It costs more to raise pedigree seed and to raise It on clean land, but the result is worth the difference. Better rais one's own seed grain on the farm than to buy hap hazard at the store. Ma sachusetis Ploughman. , Pi (Terence in Com, In a herd of twelve cows, tested foi three years In connection with the Wis consin dairy school, tbe milk of on cow was worth $110 more than tht feed she ate, while that of five othei cows added together only amounted te $11 more than their feed. One cow produced nearly as much profit as flv cows In the same herd. The feed and labor cost about the same for a poor cow as for a good one, but what a dif ference In the net results. The resulu of actual weighing and tests of farm herds In various dairy sections of thf country Indicate that few herds exist In which at least one cow In ten doct not fall to pay expenses when feed ii reckoned at market value. Often il happens that a cow, supposed by tb owm-r to be fairly good, has proved the poorest of the herd when her milk Is weighed and tested for a year. American Cultivator. Advertiee lonr Good Thing;. Study the pedigrees and breed lnti popular lines as your experience lit breeding and management Improves, and a demand is developed for your stock by judicious advertising. Soma men pay big prices for breeding stock and never advertise, says the Holstein Frieslan Hegister. They sacrifice their stock rather than pay out money for advertising, while others with plainer bred stock and liberal advertising will get far better prices and greater de mands. Ilairr Notes. Milk of different temperatures should never be mixed. With cows long In milk, the butter will i-ome slowly. A little too much churning injure the butter by destroying the grain. Any impurities In the drinking water are readily absorbed by the milk. In profitable buttermaking it Is nl! Important to suit your customers. A little feed will often save a gooi deal of time in milking a restless cow. The growth of the heifer Is so much deducted from what should go to milk production. A great jsiiut of value In a dairy cow Is to have tbe milking habit firmly es tabllsbcd. Dairy farming, if rightly managed may be the means of greatly Improv ing ibe land. It is useless to expect a great flow ol milk from a cow that has only enough feed to live upon. . . , . Care should be taken never to over work butter, so that the grain and tex ture may be preserved. The fact that a cow gives a larg mess of milk need not Interfere with her bringing a good calf. The colder butter can be churne the better, and the better It will stani after It has been churned. A good dairy cow should alwayi have her good qualities perpetuated by raising her beifer calves. A stunted beifer will never make a breeder of thrifty, quick maturlni stock and will prove a failure. The churn should never be AIM more than half full, and then If tb temperature Is right the bntter wIL come. Stone or cement troughs are better than wooden ones for setting the milk cans la because they are er.slly kept clesn. Churning st too high a tempcraturt or churning too long will product greasy butter In which tbe grain Is la jured. -,' -:.
