THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER As we go to Press, Geo. H. Hodges, Democrat, Has a Lead cf 29 Votes Over Arthur Capper, Republican CAPT. HARVEY TELLS OF LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES! Historical Society State House Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed Fourteenth Year. No. 46. As we go to Pre CAPT. HARVEY TELL LIFE IN A Former Army Officer Practicing Law In The Islands Tells "Home Folks" of That Far Off Land and Her People. Capt. Sherman A. Harvey, of the late Twenty-third Kansas Volunteer Infantry, and now a practicing attorney in the Philippines, is back in Kansas visitig relatives at his old home in Lawrence. Captain Harvey visited Topoka friends a few days last week and on Saturday evening delivered the following interesting and instructive lecture on the habits and customs of the natives of that far off land before the Pleasant Hour Literary society at the Y. M. C. A. rooms. Capt. Harvey is a close observer and one of the most interesting talkers Kansas ever produced and much valuable information can be gleaned from the message delivered by him. He said: In the year 1898, just after war had been declared against Spain, I together with several of the leading citizens of Lawrence was a speaker at a meeting held to celebrate the nomination of our fellow-townman, Mr. Bowersock for Cngress in the Second district. The fighting spirit of the American people had been aroused and President McKinley had been forced, against his will, to declare a war to settle a question with Spain which could have been and should have been settled without war. Contiary to all of the other speakers I argued against a war of conquest and was rather severely criticised for my remarks, and something was even said about my disloyalty. I alone of all the speakers afterwards proved my loyalty by enlisting and went to Cuba, where I tried to do my duty, and where I did all my country asked me to do. As a result of the Spanish-American war the Philippine Islands became the territory of the United States and the U. S. is responsible for the government and welfare of the Filipino people. After ten years residence in the Philippine Islands I am unable to see the wisdom of the undertaking. In my judgment, and according to my experience, observation and understanding our work in the Philippine Islands has not been a success. I believe the people of the United States are great enough in moral force, wealth, Christianity, and intelligence to do what ought to be done there, but whether they are doing what ought to be done now or will do so in the future is another question. In the first place it, will require some definite policy as to what we really intend to do, and then a system and much time, hard work, expense and patience to accomplish it. The three or four hundred millions of dollars spent by the United States in the Philippine Islands should do someone a great deal of good, materially, morally and mentally. So far it has not benefitted the people of the United States; and as for the Philippines they have been benefitted but very little and not near as much as they should have been by that expenditure (of money). Do you know for what purpose the U. S. took the Philippine Islands? No, and no one else knows. Did we take them for our benefit, or for the benefit of the Philippine people? Did we take them for our commercial advantage in the Orient? Did we take them with the view of turning them over to the Philippines when they shall become fitted for self-government? Nobody knows. Do you know why, with such bitter race prejudice existing, the U. S. should add to her burdens and further complicate her greatest problem of the day by beginning responsible for the government and welfare of the dark people of Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines! Should not charity begin at home? We are told on every hand that Providence gave us the Philippines. Such an answer is prompted by cowardice, sacrelige and ignorance. And it looks like a case of short sighted statesmanship. Judged by our standards the Filipino at best is but partly civilized, shading off into many wild, savage non-Christian tribes, with different customs and habits, having no common or universal language, but speaking more than twenty different dialects. Ninety per cent of them cannot read or write, not even their own dialects; and those who are Christians are Roman Catholic. The others are Mohammedans or have no religion. The great mass of the people are ignorant, child like and lead a simple life. They average very well in honesty and integrity. In their home life they are simple, hospitable and not very careful about hygiene and sanitation. It is no uncommon thing to go into homes of the well to do Filipinos and find them eating on the floor with a table near by; eating with their hands; with the leaves, forks and spoons carefully packed away in a chest or cupboard; sleeping and sitting on the floor while the bedstead and chairs are packed away in the corner or in some spare room to be dusted off and used when extraordinary company comes. The great majority of the people have none of these things, they can not afford them and do not know how to use them. On calling, a Spaniard or Filipino will, with the utmost assurance and politeness, tell you his house is yours and that he is at your service. He will serve you with cigarettes or cigars or something to drink, or all of them if he can afford them, and with chocolate or coffee and cakes and crackers if the call is very long. It is the ambition and pleasure of Spaniards and Filipinos to be able to serve chocolate to their callers and guests. The father is lord of the household and all are subject to his will and orders. He even whips his wife with no serious results and with no fear of a case in the police court or a divorce suit except in extreme cases. At the death of the father his rule and most of his property is passed on to the eldest son, whose rule is often more tyrannical than that of the father. Woman's place in every department of life is an inferior one. The Filipinos are a tomorrow people. They never do today what can be put off until tomorrow, and most everything can be put off until tomorrow or some other day. He will tell you that he is going to do something right away. He may do it tomorrow of day after tomorrow. If you complain about the loss or inconvenience you have suffered you will be rewarded by his telling you to have patience. Patience is a most valuable asset in the Philippine islands. It is the greatest school of patience I have ever attended. They must be the direct descendants of Job. If asked why he does thus and so when it would be better, easier or more profitable to do it some other way, he answers; "Costumbil," (it is custom.) "Manaua" (tomorrow), "Costumbil," (it is custom) and "Pacencia" (patience) cover all the sins of the Filipinos, and make up his working force. He absolutely refuses to become excited about life or death, prosperity or adversity, the present or future, in fact about anything, and with a stolical indifference he resignedly leaves all things to God. Nature, through climate and productiveness of soil, has made the Filipino's needs few and his wants easily satisfied. Everything just grows. The chief products are rice, tobacco, hemp, lumber, stock and sugar cane all of which can be made to grow in abundance. The Filipino lives a sample life, close to nature. Everything is conducive to a life of ease and inactivity. He still likes to fish and hunt. His civilization has taught him to look upon work as degrading and as TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 15, 1912. soon as he can read and write, or is able to wear shoes and a white suit he must quit work, having become disqualified to do manual labor. The country could be made to support in luxury five times its present population with very little added cost and energy. Men live in such a country a few years and become practically unable to keep up the pace and make a living in a country where life is strenuous. The poet and muse 'sing of the beautiful, babny, fragrant, and fascinating tropics, and the "East a calling," as the land of poetry, of song and of love, and men long to go there. But really, it is not these things that call and lure him. It is man's natural desire and ability to "come back" to his natural state, and to live close to nature. It is nothing less than idleness and irresponsibility calling him. In addition to this lay aside your better self and adopt Filipino customs; so easily done and do things al Filipino; turn the cold shoulder to Americans and discredit all things American to the advantage of the Filipino, as many Americans are doing, and you have what is called "Filipinitis." Based on some statistics made, it is said that seven years' residence in the islands will produce "Filipinitis" in the great majority of foreigners. Some say only four years are required, and that ten years will render it incurable. I resided there ten years, but I borne that I am an exception. Spain seems to have been satisfied to keep the Filipino people in ignorance, and to collect tribute from them for the church and state; and was not very much concerned about the development of the country or the people. Only a very small percent of the people know anything of book learning. Their education was very simple and rudimentary, and their higher and professional education more or less superficial. They committed to memory and knew what was in the text books but were weak in the practical application of their education, nor do they seem to have grasped the fundamentals of education. They had no common or public schools, but church, parochial and private schools, where the children spent about half of their time learning the ritual of the Catholic church and the other half in learning the elementary principles of reading, writing and arithmetic. Their so-called colleges and universities, except Santo Tomas University, which the Americans have helped reform, and the Philippine University, established by Americans, are not worthy of the name. The schools conducted by the Spanish Friars and the Filipinos do no real university work, but give the degree, BBachelor in Arts, to mere boys who cannot enter the High schools established by the present public school system. They had no co-education and the convent schools and colleges for girls were inferior to those for boys. However, the Filipinos have produced some able men, greatest of whom was Dr. Jose Ruzal, reformer and author, who did much to help his people, and who was condemned and put to death by the Spanish government as a traitor for urging his people to throw off the Spanish yoke and be free. It is generally conceded that their ablest man now is Senior Cayetano Arellano, chief Justice of the Supreme Court. All of their ablest men have finished their education in some European countries, Hong Kong or Japan. The Americans have established a system of public schools patterned after ours here in the United States, consisting of the primary school, high school and the Philippine University, carrying with it a school of pharmacy, medicine, engineering and law, and a normal school education is free in the public schools and even the books were furnished the children until recently. The teaching is under the direction and supervision of Americans with Filipino under-teachers. Much progress has been made in the face of many odds and drawbacks. And today, after fourteen years of American rule, more Filipinos can speak, read and write English than can speak, read and write Spanish after four hundred years of Spanish rule. The education we are giving them is broader, more thorough and is calculated to result in a common language and usefulness. Hoping for independent soon, when Spanish will be the official lanspirit cause a large per cent of the better class of Filipinos to pay large tuitions and send their children to the church and private schools where they can learn Spanish and the doctrines and rituals of the Catholic church. Many more would send their children to these schools but for the fact that government employment is now given only to those who can speak English, and the rich don't enjoy seeing all the lucrative government jobs going to the cons of the poor, who have taken advantage of the public schools. Under Spanish rule only the favored few and the rich were permitted to attend school, and their education was limited. Now the schools are free and compulsory. The Filipino people are influenced and dominated by a very few men, known as caciques. A cacique is a boss of the worst type and the curse of the Filipino people. He is one of the educated and most intelligent men of the community, a grafter, a pascal, a go-between, a troublemaker and a self-styled leader and reformer all combined. His control is absolute; and his graft is direct. His nearest counterpart here in our country, is our present day self-appointed leader and reformer. And like our reformer he is for the "people" and everything that he does is founded in selfishness, and this aim and ambition is to get in office and to get more power. He is still further like our reformer in that he is a man who thinks he knows all about it, but don't. So complete is the control and power of the cacique that the Filipino will or can make but little progress until he is done away with. The Filipinos are not in sympathy with the Americans and what they are trying to do for them and they are not working very well together. The cacique is anti-American and causes his people to be so. He knows his occupation and power will cease when the Filipinos take up American ways, education and customs. Speaking of customs, if you hear a band playing in the street, it may be playing "El Capitan," "Whistling Rufus," "A Hot Time," "Matching Through Georgia," or some similar music you will have to go into the street to see what the occasion is. It may be a wedding, a baptism, the arrival of some high official or the boys celebrating an athletic victory, or it may be a funeral. The music is just the same. "Marching Through Georgia" is a favorite funeral march with them, and it will only be a short time until more souls will have gone to glory "Marching Through Georgia" than marched through Georgia to the sea. Baptism, weddings, birthday parties and funerals are celebrated in the same manner. They usually begin with some appropriate religious service—praying and repeating parts of the rituals of the Catholic church, after which the festivities begin, which consist of eating, drinking and making merry, dancing, playing various kinds of games for money, and until recently cock-fighting. In religion the Filipino is a Catholic, though they have many forms and ceremonies that you don't see in our Catholic churches here. Their worship consists chiefly in devotion and prayer to the Virgin Mary and various other saints, and celebrating the conception, birth, death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and each year at the proper time these events are celebrated with great pomp and ceremony. During Lent they chant songs and pray sometimes all night long; and on certain days, especially on the first and second Sunday before Easter, and on Holy Thursday and Good Friday, they parade the streets about 6 p.m. These parades are made up of the images of the Virgin Mary, Jesus and the various saints on wagons like floats in a town carnival, with the people following, carrying candles, accompanied by hands of music and orchestra. In the large towns where are large and wealthy churches these images, especially of Saint Mary, wear costly raiment and jewelry worth thousands of dollars. Thousands of people take part in these parades and all on foot. The images are drawn by the people, they considering an act of devotion to do so. In Manila, where there are many large churches the whole town is parading, and with the beautiful images and the thousands of lighted candles it makes a very beautiful sight, and looks like a flambeau club parade in a political campaign. But it all seems rather out of place. In all of these parades St. Peter has a conspicuous place, carrying his famous rooster, perched high on a pole. From the importance attached to both, the Filipino attaches some connection between St. Peter and his rooster and cock-fighting, for every town has its cock pit and every church seal has on it a rooster. I attended Easter services last year. Easter eve was most beautiful night. A rain had cleared and cooled the atmosphere. Not cloud was to be seen, not even did the mist hover on the mountain tops. Each star stood out in the heavens only to love its luster in the halo of silver light of a full moon, seldom seen, except in the tropics. At 3 o'clock in the morning the church bells, silent for two days as a sign of mourning for the crucifixion of Christ, announce the hour and summon the people to the celebration of Resurrection Mass. I awoke and could not resist the temptation to attend. Silently, in the beautiful, still morning did thousands wend their way to the church. The air was permeated with devotion and Divinity. The images were prepared, the candles were lighted and the procession formed. Passing out of the church the images of Saint Peter, Martha and Mary passed to the east, followed by a long procession, while the image of Christ followed by another long procession passed to the west. At the first street they turned south, and again at the first street they turned east and the two processions marched toward each other. They so marched that the images of St. Mary and Christ met under an arch erected at the cross streets, where the two processions turned again toward the church. And there under this decorated arch, from whose top floated the American flag, as the night dies and the day is born, there in the dawn, when the first tints of rosy morn begin to chase away the silver light of the moon and the evening star, companion for the night, now descended far into the western heavens, an angel descends and lifts the mourning veil from St. Mary and she is face to face with the resurrected Saviour. With music and prayer and song the procession returns to the church and the Resurrection Mass is celebrated. It is Easter morning, an ideal tropical day, cool and clear. And O, If the American women could only have such a day to display their bonnets and gowns! It is all over. They have observed "holy week;" they have worshiped; they have made sacrificies; they have witnessed the crucifixion of Christ and they have wept with Mary; they have seen the resurrection and they have rejoiced with Mary over a risen Saviour. Their sins have all been forgiven and everything is alight. They are ready to begin it all over again. With the Filipino religion and Christianity does not necessarily have anything to do with morality, right living or human betterment. They make little or no attempt to apply it to their every day lives. It is a custom and a faith and they blindly follow it. They spend too much time going through empty forms, masses, processions and observing festival and saint's days and spend too little time in applying practical Christianity to everyday life. Shivish observance of customs and tenets of the Catholic church causes many things they do to seem ridiculous and sometimes revolting. Before the dead can be buried permission must be had from the authorities. The body must first be viewed by a doctor on sanitary inspection for the purposes of telling what caused death and to get data for sanitary purposes. The body is then taken to the church for services, and to get permission to bury in the church graveyard, for all of which the priest collects a fee and rings a certain number of bells ac- (Continued on Page 4.)

An entire trainload of cattle, consisting of seventeen cars and each car containing on an average nearly thirty head of stock, was the size shipment which Robert Wooda, a young colored man of this county, who has made an unusually successful record in the stock-raising business, has just purchased for this winter's feeding. A few years ago, young Woods began farming on a small scale with only limited means. He had considerable ability as a stock raiser and was an unerring judge of horseflesh. Mules were his hobby and the breeding and raising of good mules became his main business. His mules soon made a reputation all over the county so that when a farmer wanted to buy a good team of mules he invariably thought of Woods. As success came to him, the young man continued to increase his drove and began to add to his farm, and handle horses and cattle in addition. At one time he is said to have had as many as a couple of hundred mules in his drove and his sales, which were made to all parts of this and surrounding states amounted to a small fortune each season. Recently Woods has been making cattle his biggest business and for the past few seasons had handled several hundred head each year. His present shipment of 17 cars of Oklahoma stock is the largest drove he has ever. before purchased at one time. These he will put in his feeding pens for the winter. Young Woods is now one of the best known shippers among the Kansas City commission firms and his success shows what industry and good judgment and a Kansas farm can do for a man regardless of his race or humble beginning.-Topeka Capital. KANSAS WOMAN PRAISES SOUTHERN NEGROES Mrs. N. J. Lawrence returned home from a very pleasant trip to Tennessee where she attended several associations of the Primitive Baptist church. She visited Columbia, Petersburg and Nashville, and speaks highly of the treatment received and of the colored people in general. She says they are prosperous and are making money and are buying farms, horses, houses and hogs. She also says the young men own horses and buggies and the young ladies never have to stand back a minute for company in going to town to churches and theaters. The young men do not have to depend on the white man for a livelihood, as most of them are farming their own land and own their own stock. She says there is a great increase in the membership of the church and they all seem to enjoy the Christian work that they are carrying on. She was absent two months and returned home looking well and highly clated over the prospects in the South. She tells us the white people are moving to the city and leaving the country and farms to the colored people, which is certainly a blessing. NOTICE! The Baptist churches of the Kaw Valley District Association, comprising the Territory from Topkaka to Kansas City will take notice that the first meeting of the Executive Boards will meet in Eudora, 21-22, 1912.

A new velvet carpet now adorns the rostum and about the alter, which certainly adds to the beauty of the interior of the church. The congregation continues to grow and the collections are fine. St. Luke people made no mistake in asking for his return. The quilt entertainment by the auxiliary board Monday, November 4th, netted nearly $50 in the six weeks. Considerable has been paid on the church debt. The Rho Omega club entertained informally with dancing and whist Friday evening at Smith hall.

The funeral was one of the largest ever held in Lawrence, being attended by both white and colored. The eulogy paid to his life by Rev. Brown was a very appropriate and timely one. Excellent music was furnished by St. Luke choir. The floral offerings were profuse and of beautiful designs. Mr. Verder moved from Kentucky to Missouri in early life, living for many years at Independence. About twenty years ago he was married to Miss Louisa Strode of this city, and moving to Lawrence, has since made this his home. For more than eighteen years he has been in the employee of the Bell Brothers, the well known piano and music dealers of Lawrence. They have always held him in the highest esteem and have stood by the family during his illness and will miss him as if one of their own family. In fact Mr. Verder will be greatly missed by all the citizens of this town, as he had many friends among both races. He was a hard working and industrious man, providing well for his family, always jovial and full of sunshine. He was very liberal towards the church and all charitable institutions, doing a great deal towards building the new modern edifice of St. Luke church. His trouble was cancer of the liver and while his suffering was intense he was cheerful and conscious until the last. He died very happy, claiming to be ready and willing to go. His faithful wife carried him to Excelsior Springs in August last for treatment but all to no avail. Every thing possible was done by the family and friends but he continued an irredeemable victim of the dreaded disease to which at last he yielded. He leaves a wife, son, adopted daughter, several nieces and nephews and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. He is gone but will not soon be forgotten. Interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery.

Mr, Lawrence Worke, of Oxford, transacted business here Thoreday of lest week, wae oat That Jack Johnson Escapade! Reprinted from a Recent Issue of The Plaindealer Owing to the numerous requests, we reproduce our comment on the recent Johnson escapade. Copies of that issue have been exauated, and in order to satisfy the demands for name, we submit to the wishes of our readers and present same again. Unable to find Johnson guilty on the Cameron charge, they are now engaged in framing up new charges which will doubtless prove as groundless as the Cameron affair. Jack Johnson has money, and the gang that now hounds him are determined to break him and let him go about his business: We are indeed surprised to see so many of our white brethren peeping behind the curtain of the prize ring, ock-pst and barroom and working themselves into a frenzy over the doings of the brightest light in this category of actors-Jack Johnson. The history of the prize ring is an unprintable story of drunkenness and debauchery of women who seem to crave for and revel in the society of the knights of the roped arena. Jack Johnson being topmost in the profession—conqueror of all comers and goers, the white man's irresistable lust for fame and money made him forget all else and take the "King of Pugdom" and his white wife into their own ranks, while the colored brother stood in amazement and watched them snapping like so many hungry hounds in an effort to share his fame and fortune. Johson opened a fine saloon and cafe and even in this venture those who are hounding him now were in charge, the license being held by a white man. His patrons are principally white followers of the red lights and patrons of the green cloth, the price being far too stiff for the average man of color, no matter how strong his desire to enter therein. Now, please don't be hard on a fellow who has lavished his money upon you and yours. Please keep your Jack and give him what you would demand—a square deal. You have taken everything good the Lord has given us from our mothers, fathers, and daughters down to Jack Johnson, and so why not be fair? You have seduced, raped and outraged women of Jack's race until it is a difficult matter to distinguish a colored person from a white one, and today in the Southland white men are rearing two families—one with a white mother and the other a black. Unlimited proof can be secured showing where they go so far as to dare men of color to consort with women of their own blood, and now go into spasms because some foolish girl, who instead of obeying her mother and staying at home, is hanging around sporting reports like Jack Johnson's and others conducted by white men. Blame the parents and also the law for allowing places to run where women and men, be they of the same race, mingle and debauch themselves. The police of Chicago have seen not only that girl but scores of white women in Jack Johnson's place, and nothing was thought or said of it, but had they been doing their duty, not a woman of any color or kind could have entered the door of any such place, in the city of Chicago. We are sorry for the poor brokenhearted mother of this wayward girl, but she cannot expect her daughter to find the class of men that make useful citizens' and good husbands hanging around resorts of this character, be they run by men as white as snow or as black as the hinges of huddes. We know nothing of the facts in the case nor does the public. The reports are gambled and written by men who make it a business to picture the colored people in the worst light possible. Johnson is pictured at a demon, now who knows anything of the girl's past, and whether or not her appearance at the Johnson resort was her first time to cross the threshold of the devil's hell? Who knows that she has not long been a frequenter of such places? Johnson is wrong, but we must remember that he also has a partner in crime, if one has been committed, and according to the telegraph, admitted that she was with Johnson because she desired to be. Indians, Mexicans, Chinese and Dagos have done far worse than Johnson, and the world was not turned upside down as they are trying to do in this case. We are sorry that the "King of Sportdom" did not marry a woman of his own face so she could have enjoyed the comforts f his fine home, trips abroad and automobiles. Our white brothers never want to see colored people have anything good, so as soon as Jack was "inside" the long end of the change, they flocked around him like files around a molasses barrel, and now they have him, let 'em keep him and be contented. Thousands of colored mothers are nursing broken hearts from wrongful acts committed by white men, but on this matter, the white press is silent as the tomb. If the government officials do their duty they will go further than the Johnson case and look up white men who are doing what they claim Jack did. If this nineteen year old girl is to be an example for Jack, let it be for all races and men who seek to overthrow good womanhood. business in Wichita. The Plain- Jack Johnson has not brought any disgrace upon the honest, clean, industrious colored people, no more than that girl has disgraced the whites. As to Johnson, the class of colored people mentioned live in a different sphere, hence they are not yelping about that which is beneath them, but if they placed themselves in that catagory, they would likely take the stand of others and raise the roof. Wrong, no matter by whom committed should not be condoned in one no more than in another, and fair, honorable, clean minded people look upon it thus. In fact the high-class white people—those of blood, education and wealth are not saying a word about the girl and her black lover, for they regard both as being far beneath the notice of decent, respectable people of any race. It is the rough necks in both races who are willing to stain their hands. "As ye sow, shall ye reap."

The boys live on one hill and the old folks on the other, and between the two places is a cow pasture three-quarters of a mile long, part woodland and part cleared land To get down and unfasten these gates at every such passing would be a great deal of trouble and in the run of a year would take time enough to do lots of other work. So it has been arranged to avoid this. Both gates are hung to open inward, so that a cow, horse or mule cannot push it open, and are hung so they will fall shut of their own accord. They are both light, one being made of three 1 by 4 bars, so they will not pound themselves to pieces. It is no trouble at all to pass through, even with a lot horse and there is ```markdown ``` great satisfaction in knowing that the gate will be sure to shut itself and require no further thought. But there is one difficulty which no doubt occurs to the reader's mind. Will not the wind blow it open and let stock into the cornfields? Yes, it will. And that is the point of this letter. One of the gates has a woodland to protect it from such an occurrence. Only a very severe wind from the east will affect it in the least. Only since a strip was cut through for a telephone line has such a thing occurred at all. The other one, however, is easily affected by a wind from the west, a body of woodland of very dense growth deflecting even a north wind against it. But we have solved even that problem with what we call a wind latch. A piece of inch board 6 by 12 inches is trimmed to almost a feather at one end. A three eighths inch hole is bored edgewise near the other end. A seven inch spike is put through and driven an inch into the post against which the gato strikes, near the top of the post, on the outside, so it hangs down clear of the barb wires of which the fence is made. A piece of heavy wire three inches long is driven sidewise and out the west side, near the top of the board, or "wing," as we call it. A ring, or loop, is turned in the free end, from which a smaller wire extends downward to near the middle of the gate, where it connects with the latch proper. This is a small rod, the size of a sixpenny nail, and it passes through a three-eighths inch hole, bored down grain through a six inch board. The west end is bent square to the north, and the wire from the wing is connected with it. The eastern end is bent directly downward. Now, when the wind blows hard enough to cause the gate to open it will raise the wing, and that will throw the eastern end of this rod so as to catch the gate. Like nearly all our gates, this one is swung to a tree, with the upper kningy nine feet from the ground. The wind often causes this tree to away back and forth, but this latch always catches the gate in spite of such. there should be a farmer's club in every neighborhood, and there should be the best of farm papers in every home. And brains as well as brawn must be used by the one who would succeed. Pinfeathers. Some good poultry men think by feeding sitting hears in the morning they are more apt to return contentedly on their nests all day. Ruppy nows should be separated from the rest of the flock and, kept where they are not likely to contaminate the soil or spread the disease. There I nothing so injurious to chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and pt frogs is exposure to dampness. By that is not meant the ovis island exposure to be rain but living continually in damp places. One cannot feel lions barely enough to keep them alive and then expect eggs from them. It has also been proved that some kinds of frogs will produce more eggs than other kinds. Supply the elements requisite to the growing of fathers, bones or frame, flesh, a certain amount of fat (neodful to conserve the animal heat) and a spurious to be turned into eggs.
