Home and Farm usually gives no attention to political queitiohs. It leaves the general discussion of pub lie events to the political newspapers. The demands made upon its atten tion and space bv farming1 problems keep us well employed. . But now and then there comes a question directly refuting to agri cultural profit and progress." . Titen we must treat It from tliestundpoint of the farmer. The tobacco situation in Kentucky has for several years attracted the attention of the country. . There struggle has gone on between the men who raise the tobacco and the tobacco trust. The trust has so con solidated.its affairs that competition for tho purchase of the' fanners' to bacco has been eliminated, and-the farmers of Kentucky and all other States And they are face to face with one buyer. Thousands of sellers and one buy- e produce a situation : altogether favorable to the ourchascr and in jurious to the seller. Realizing this, the farmers have organized various associations for the purpose of pooling their crops or reducing the tobacco acreage, thus compelling the purchaser to pay a reasonable price for what the farm er produces. , r 1 : TheMj things are not accomplished wkiiout frictjoa and Biruetiuies are marked by , violence. The farmers who agree to reduce acreage or who agree not to sell their tobacco,' find that the higher prices thus secured induce their neighbors to avail them selves of tire changed condition and benefit by the work the tobacco as sociations have t!onev This causes irritation, antagonism and in many cahe3 direct lawlessness.' - .

J(o eommunity can submit to it- There i gjid M'ixix.fiSLt-yimxh 'Jy of dealing witu Uio suuauoii and demand that the strong arm of the law be used for the protection of the unorganized farmer. ; The demand is reasonable and just. " In America one nian standing alone is entitled to the same protection by the law and the officers of the law as one thou sand or one Hundred thousand men organized in one compact body. But the farmers say (and with great deal of force), "restrain the lawlessness of the tobacco trust and there will be no lawlessness among the farmers no necessity for it." Home and Farm. . . ? . Importance of Diversifying. This authoritive statement will be found profitable if allowed a govern jng influence; "The graditel deple tion of soil fertility in the cotton' producing areas of the" Southern States has resulted chiefly from the one-crop system in general practice and the absence" of any scheme of crop rotation Into which the pro duction of forage and soil-renovating crops enter. ; Where Cotton is grown exclusively on 'the same land year after year, without the use of any intermediate crop, the clean culture necessary for the production of this crop has the effect of rapidly ex hausting the humus or organic'mat- ter of the soil and will continue to doso until a different system of farming is adopted. . i " . This does not mean that produc tion of cotton (must necessarily be restricted, for cotton is and always will be the staple product of a large portion of the South. , ','It means, however,' that, if soil fertility is to be increasedor even maintained, "the Southern farmer must adopt a system of more diver sified farming and increase the or ganic matter of his soil by the use of soil-renovating crops and i manure from stock fed ontho farm,!' i This is the tone of every useful and es sential discussion of the subject.

Hence, the legitimate tradesman loses business and many, families lose all their comforts and many of the necessaries of life.. A representative of . one of the largest flouring: industries in this country recently declared that the temperance movement was doing more to increase flour sales than all other causes combined. An Ohio milling company in one of the larger cities of the state, recently asserted (hat their books showed their flour trade to be 2,000 barrels a yeait bet ter under "dry" than under"wet" conditions. This shows the saloons lose business for the tradesmen, and that some people do not have all the flour they need where saloons exist. When the business men of our coun try line up against the saloon as they are now rapidly doing,, especially in dry" territory, the saloon will go go quickly and go to stay. Ameri can Issue. . , ; - .

As soon as one iron is removed, put on the fourth, keeping the pyramid as a gas saver. " i ' ,.

Attorney A Wonderfal Contrivance. . 1 " tIlc uepartment called "About i People," iii the June Woman's Home unnpanioni is tlie following para- graph about Angus Campbell, the man who hventeJ the manchine'that picks cotton: A fanner, when he t.rw tL'j machine) the first time, said very widely: "It will put the child ron to school.' I iwcniy-iive years ago a uncago pattern-maker went on a pleasure- uip to Texas, where he raw hun dreds of men, women and children laboriously picking cotton and drag ging their slowly-filling sacks behind them as they toiled ti rough the hot fluids. Like others Lefore him, he wondered if a macMne might not be devised to do this work better, and to accomplish in thj.Soulh a marvel parallelling that which the great grain-harvesters have worked ia the wheat-fields of the West. Oti.eis had tried and fai ed, us he also might have failed had he not been of the persevering Scotch strain guaran teed by his name, Angus Campbell. Comparatively, the grain-harvester presented a simpie problem, for grain ripens uniformly and theentire field may be cut at once. But the cotton bolls mature at. different times. A cotton-harvester, there fore, must be a machine that thinks a machine with sufficient, discrim mation to pick out all the lbi. from tne ripenea uous, yet to pi:-?o over those not yet matured, leaving the delicate plant unharmed. Mr. Camp bell wrastled with the probh-m near ly twenty years and suffered many discouragements und failures before he at last devised a wondersul con trivance with countless delicate fin gers that will really pick cotton. It is hard to realize all that t'.u's may mean to the cotton-growing states. That it will cut down the cost of harvesting cotton two thirds is i moderate estimate. - And as a farm tr'a wife thankfully -bbacrfeiLVeu don't have to cook for it. Indirect ly it will enormously increase' the natural production of the chief ex port staple, and will save the South ern farmer tens of millions of dollars each year. Moreover, where farm ers have actually been compelled to limit their cotton acreage because of the difficulty of securing labor in tlie picking season, this ever-ready ser vant win enable them to increase, their cuops without fear; perhaps doubling the value of their lands. Better still, it will release from the drudgery of the field thousonds who should be otherwise employed,," Facts About the Convicts in Prison.
