PLIED ? ARE THE FARMERS
ACTIVE. -
Yes, air, I am willing that my
opinion be published and am writing
thl? for that very purpose. It la on
ly (air and Just that questions of this
kind be Impartially discussed ? the
pros and eons dissected.
The question evolves itself as to
whether the farmers are doing things
for themaktyres, these days or are
they merely the automaton!* of
schools, boards and departments?
In other Words Is the present flourish
ing condition of agriculture due to
these agencies or are they merely cre
ations of agricultural progressive
neaa?
A a a matter of fact, the farmer Is
coming Into hla own and as a r,ule
and as a whole each Individual farm
er, with the aid of Providence, Is the
creator of his own success. Bvery
farm has become an experiment sta
tlon. Every farmer taking a course
In the great school of experience
What auccess haa come our way aa
farmera, haa come largely aa a re
mit of a healthy rivalry among our
?elvee. That principle haa been grow
lng of late yeara and the outcome
has, to * very aatlafactory extent,
been lucrative and farm-life ??een ex
*c|ad, and yet,- none of us have done
ltrn
as we knew. The great vampire, lasi
nesa, haa been and la largely yet. a
menace to the farm. 80 much Is al
lowed to go to waste, and we are so
prone to put off Jobs, that through
our indolence, the old robber, pro
craatlnation, gets off with a large per
cent ?f the booty. We all know
these things and what the farm pa
pers have' been telling us about It is
nothing new, but to be taxed thous
ands of dollars annually, world with
out end pay Prof's or graduates of
the A. 6 M. College to flaunt the
same dirty rag In our faces Is a thick
? THICK proposition.
The district schools should bo made
efficient from s theoretic or techni
cal atandpotnt. not that ther Is so
much to be taught that Is not al
ready understood by the avenge far
mer, but that the young people may
become more Interested, n-tre im
pressed with the importance and sig
nificance of agriculture, but so far as
demonstration work is concerned I
am ofuhe opinion It would be very
unsatisfactory in the schools, for the
reason that the many different soils,
surface Irregularities, thermal cli
matic and drainage conditions, etc.,
cannot be made a unit measure
for a country on any paasable ten to
twenty-flve asres, as, for Instance,
the care and management required
for cropa on Norfolk or Portsmouth
sand would be very Inefficient to de
monstrate what could be done on
Belma clay, thS loans or other soils.
In a general way we have the agri
cultural department and state expe
rimental work as explained in va
rious bulletins, but for ths fact, that
no two farms are exactly alike |n ev
ery respect, no system of form man
agement can bet generally applied.

delicate and dangerous surgical op

this city.
At the moment they reached the
critical stage of the operation all the
electric lights went out. The opera- 1
tion was successfully finished by the
light of the automobile'3 oil lamps,
dimly reinforced by that of burnins

It was too hazardous for the resi

to undertake, so he telephoned to the
hospital's visiting surgeon, who was
at he a dinner in Hartford, He and
two other physicians hurriedly left
the festive board. Jumped into a mo

miles of good roads from Hartford
here, making the run in less than
half an hour.
Everything had been made ready
for them, the patient awaited them

lights and reflectors. The operation
for strangulated hernia is brief but

THE DRIFT OP DEMOCRATS TO
WARD A PROTECTIVE POLICY
Washington, Wf fl. ? William.
Jennings Bryan yesterday took excel*
tlon to the i? program yf \in party ir
the house and criticised sharply the
majority of t&e democrats who hare
as reed to Sttpport the rerlstd tariff
schedule on wool and woolen *oed?.
The crlticlsA.ir contained ij a state
ment made gnbllc through Repre
sentative Harrison of New York. .
Chairman ITaderwood, of the ways
and means committee, contented
himself with the declaration that de
spite Mr. Bryan's stand the revised
tariff would go through the demo
cratic caucus with a two thirds ma
jority.
Revenue Oaa be Raised.
"The democratic voter*," said Mr.
Bryan, "know that all needed reve
nue can be raised In less oppressive
ways and they know the argument
that the tariff is merely a subterfuge
employed because those who employ
It are ashamed to say they favor pro
tection."
The Nebraska** warned against th?
drift of demoCMB toward a protec
tive policy, wM fi">. he said. Is most
marked in tl^pee democrats who
have '"anions, their constituents In
fluential heneftetar^ee or the sy$. ?
tees."
"The republicans want protection
on wool because .they believe in the
principle of prcrteotfton/* he declar- ,?
ed; "let us^ju^^fefhoeratic advocate
of a tax on wool.maaquerade behind
the pretense that he Is voting for a
revenue tariff; let him aol. add hy
pocrisy to the .tin which h? commits
against his part*."'. ,,,
Criticism Evokes No Coir meat.
This criticltjV. apparently directed
at the party leaders In the house,
evoked no comment, except the sug
gestion that the votes in the caucus
would disclose that Mr. Bryan has
only one-third of the Damocrats In
the hoiiee behind .him
Mr Brysn insisted If proiectjon was
to be acceptod as a democratic doc
trine, "that, Jit; be - accepted openly
and applied. to ^everything and to all
sections?*, . .< ?- rs t". ' I
Hp said there is no reanon for fav
oriteism to a few sheep raiser? at the
exiiense pf all who wear woolen
clothing. \ v
"Before the Democratic party is
j finally committed to the doctrine of
protection," he declared, ii will be
necessary to consult the voters of the
party, and It may be well to remem
ber that the .voters, of alt parties are
braver than ^he politicians. The -re
publican voters were brave enough
to turn out a lot of Republican Al
driches; what reason have our, demo
cratic congressmen to think that
democratic voters are less courage
ous?" ^.v
