one in a hundred of such papers ever
publishes a line in support of any prop-

She belonged to a soociety for the

she made the poor dress-maker work
day and night to get her ball dress
ready on time, and then forgot to pay
the dress-maker for weekB and weeks.
She belonged to the society for the
amelioration of human kind, hut she
was keen on hunting bargains that
were made possible by the toil and suf-
ferings of her sisters in noisome sweat
shops. ■
She reprimanded the small boy that
threw a stone at the cat, yet she drove
a team of horses with docked tails.
She wrote a beautiful article for the
local paper advocating the organization
of Audubon societies among the boys
and girls, then donned a Hat with three
stuffed birds on it and gaily went to(

The Old Advice vs. the New.
The average-yield of corn in the Uni-
ted States! is twenty-five bushels, and
the average value per acre is $8, from
which the cost of producing the crop
must be deducted before; it can yield a
profit. Thjere is not a cent of profit, in
average cifops of any kind. Average
crops do not pay and average farmers
don’t pay. Our best farmers are not
content with an average crop; they
want the biest. The fault of an average
that knows no law but its own inter-
! est, threaten the ruin of our social and
institutions. Deliverance

No, there is not a cent of profit in
average crops. But under the present
system of jnarketing, if the “supply
and demand” theory be: true, there is
more profit in average crops than there
would be in “the best” crops, if every
farmer would adopt the Rural Home’s
advice and raise only the best. If ag-
riculture is crushed under the weight
of over-production when only average
crops are made, what would the crash
be if eveiiy farmer made the best
crops? '■ fj; ■ .!•!. 'c '
That’s the trouble with papers of the
Rural Home type. They are constant-
ly demanding better grades and more
prolific rarities, better methods of cul-

the production to the greatest possible
proportions, and when the produce
reaches the market and a slump oc-
curs, they; are the first papers to look
solemn, adsume an attitude of superior
wisdom, and inform the producers that
the cause of their trouble is an over-
production. They tell the! farmers how

We note from the press that the

alleging that they afe in a trust to

Recent developments prove that the

Then judging from the uniform
price of $10 per. ton for cotton seed all

that oil mills of the state are in a i that will make others say that of you.
