Of them we read in the ural papers. There ares who have made no money at any crops. Of them iwe hear nething,—exeept In the growling sym- pestums in the back-rooms of coun- try stores. I'm talking of the average, —ef the whole lot of us farmers, as a bumch. As a whole, taking our seven or elght millions as one Big Hayseed, he has not made money nor even wages at his main business of raisinz the staple crops on which the country lives. This is the fact—the one outrageous and intolerable fact any competent student of sta- have learned for himself e last twenty vears. How muech farther back than that T cannot personally avouch, But we've heard very little about it from the theoretical economists and Aelicatefy maincured statisticians who pretend to do our thinking for us. We've seen very few suggestions of this lamentable condition of affairs In the papers, either the professedly ag- ultural papers of those of so-called etropolitan” character. We're hear- ing nothing about it, even now. I've Been walting over a month to see how much publicity would be given to the lafest statistics from the department of agriculture to yields and prices Thus far, the amount of which hes been made about theso latest flgures has been neither | deafening or annoying. In truth, T very much doubt if ten who may read this will ever have seen the figures befere,—or any reference to them. : Yet the facts given by the depart- ment In its final report on the princi- pal crops of 1910 and their farm- prices constitute the most vital im- portant contrfbution to the domestic news of the country which has been made for the twelve-month. They dis- | close a comdition of affairs which ought to be regarded as intolerable by P and consumer alike, and which—If the farmers of the land had . & single real representative in con- gress, whould have already set him Vigorously at work In the cause of his s. For these figures show that, e 1910 marked the culmina- tion of the high prices to consumers, | the farmers not only ;nt m;t benefit | from these high prices, but suffered an scteal and tmmense loss Of the three printed cereal crops, gorn and oats, we farmers pro- 1910 four hundred and forty 1009! ur hundred Obercome coastipation permanently by proper oco-operation with the bene- of Syrup of Figs eand whea required. The | ; I and forty million bushels more we raised: and $252,000,000 less we got for raising them. Of all the farm- orops of the country, only hay, pota- toas, flaxseed and barley are a trifie higher than a year sgo. Even in these, the increase is nominal rather than real. The average farm value of po- tatoes through the United States, for instance, was 54.9 cents in 1909 and 55.5 cents in 1910,—a gain of six- tenths of a cent per bushel. The ay- erage yield of potatoes through the country having been about 100 bushels to the acre, this makes the average increase in value of crop, sixty cents per acre. And-it's safe to say that it cost the average farmer more than sixty cents an acre in labor and seed and fertilizer over 1909. _ Altogether, taking all the principal farm crops, wheat, corn, oats, barley, | rye, buckwheat, flaxseed, rice, hay, po- tobaceo, tatoes and , while was a very much larger amount produced in 1910 than in 1909, the total value of the whole lot to the farmers on their farms was $236,000,000 less than the value of the smaller crops of the same products to the farmers on their farms in 1909. . The farmer had to pay more for labor in 1910 than in 1909: he had to pay more for fertilizer: he had to pay more for pretty nearly everything he consumed: —but he got $236,000,000 less for his bigger and better crops! He ought to have got, on the basis of 1909’s prices, about $236,000,000 more. This means that he really lost $470,- 000,000, as compared with 1909. Did you save it, Mr. Consumer? Or did you gobble it, Mr. Middleman? Im not, here and now, undertaking to say which of you has it. But I am under- taking to say that whichever assumes to hold the farmer in any smallest de- gree responsible for the high prices of 1910 is a literal and lineal descendant of Ananias, birth-marked with men- dacity! | confess that makes me mad to the bottom of my boots to have the farmer,—who really has suffered every whit as much from the high prices prevalent in 1910 as any other man,— held accountable for them. You might as well hold the man who is swimming for his life in a Connecticut river freghet iponsible for the dam- age done on the banks by high water. You might as well hold the man who has his skull factured by a falling brick responstble for the poor mortar put in the chimney. You might as well hold a February fog responsible for zero weather the December previous. Doubtless it's human nature to “blame it on somebody els it eertainly seems to be like “rubbing it in” to eut Mr. Farmer about $470,- 000,000 in one year on his fair pay for his goode and then -blame him for keeping prices up. Furthermore and more important, it surely seems as if it were time for us farm to wake up to the fact that in' the business battle we are, unani- mously dnd everywhere, the “under dog in the fight.” We have very little voice in regard to what we shall get for that which we sell: we have ab- solutely no voice In what we must pay fo: that which we buy. Laws, if not made in the interests of Big Busi- ness, are regularly so construed by the couris. And Blg Business means simply the bdullying and beating of Little Business. While other forms of labor orggnize and force better con- ditions and better pay, we farmers scatter about like seven million sepa- rate Ishmaels, ea with his hand against everybody eise, and evervbody else against him.

Horace Greeley. Horace Greeley was one of the most lebrated men of his time. A raw product. of. the New England hill coun- try when he began his work in life as a printer, with an individuality =o strongly marked that it verged on the eccentric and grotesque, with the zeal of a reformer, the sympathy of a phi- lanthopist and the violence of an agi- tator, with an alert, assimilative but undisciplined mind and a gift for for- cible racy expression unsurpassed by any of his contemporaries, with intense, consuming interest in all that the life of his day presented to the observing eye, he became the most no- table American journalist of the nine- teenth century and a power in the i politics of his country in its most criti- cal period. No other leader of the peo- ple, except Lincoln, smelled so much of the soil. His quaint and picturesqua appearance, his oddities of manner, his “jams” and hallucinations, his ideal- istlc divinations and his occasional lapses fnto comradeship with gutter politicians, his hopeless disorder of busin and his incur- able propensity to give away his last dollar—these were.. qualities which heightened popular interest in every- thing that he sald and did. Tt may be said of him that he succeeded in spite of his faults and failed in spite of his virtues. So curious, oddly compound- ed a character defies analysis toda; precisely as it puzzled and confounded | those who knew and studied it in lif —Springfield Republican. 5 Taxes Defined. According to Lawson Purdy, “a tax | a contribution enforced by sovereign power,” and he argues t as the personal property tax cannot be en- forced upon rich men, it is not so much a tax as “a farce” It would appear that all contributions from that source should be classed as conscience money.

Curiously, one of the earlier of these recent attempts was the most successful of any, up to date. In 18!0~!rl(‘ few ring-necked pheasants, imported from China, were released in Oregon in the Williamette Vaulley, and multipied over all that region. When in 1892, the first open season was declared, it is estimated that 50,000 pheasants were shot on the opening day. This naturaily raised a great furore for pheasants, and in no less than 16 states has the liberation and propaga- tion of various kinds of pheasants been tried, mostly with final discour- aging results, though at first some of these attempts seemed to be succeed- ing. Only 1n a very few localities,— parts of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and the Genessee Valley, New York,—has there been any mark- ed success. Some of the state game commissions, such as those of Mas- sachusetts and Ohio, have given up ly in faver of propagating native birds instead. While the methods have now ‘been ascertained of rearing pheasants by thousands in captivity, these birds in the wild state usually uisappear when general hunting is allowed. Discouraged over the showing of the pheasants, popular _sentiment was turned to the so-called partridge. This species is a familiar game bird of most of £urope and oc- lar nickname arose because most of our imfortations were frem the moun- tains of Hungary and Bohemia, where birds are larger and hardier than thoge of the same species in the Eng- lish preserves. It is a fing bird, and was a wise selection in the honest ef- fort to find an le foreign spe- cies to supplement our own. At least nine states have embarked upon this .experiment, some of them on a large scale, especially from 1908. In that imported into this country,,and the next year over 27,000. Thus far about $150,000 has been spent for gray part- ridges, and for all foreign game spe- cies about half a million dollars. While it is too early to make final judgment as to the possible results of recent and present attempts, the gen- eral verdict from disinterested scient- ists is that success in acclimating for- eign game specles of any kind under strange comditions is most dubious., with the odds all against it, and that far greater results )}l'oportlonatcly would be secured by similar efforts to increase and propagate native game birds, species which nature has adapt- ed and made fit for a certain-environ- ment by an age-long process. We may even believe that if near the outset the English sparrow itself had been persistently hunted by the 200,000 gunners of the United Siates, it could hardly have “stuck.” The following is generally becoming recognized among carefu! students of these problems as a practical summary of the case: Foreign birds suddenly transported to strange surroundings are fairly dazed, and do not properly know where to find food or how to avoid danger, especially if released when weak from the effects of the long voyage. If they were first fed up and put in good_ condition, then placed in preserves where food and shelter are supplied, vermin killed off, and where for some years they are not hunted, they are likely to increase as long as under this protection. It is more than doubtful, though, if they can stand gunning by the general public without being exterminated. Seeing that there is to be one fur- ther effort this spring by our state commissioners of game to_clinch the experiment with the “Hungarian” partridge, the least we can do is to help the commission in every possible way by feeding and protecting the birds, if any are released in our vi- cinity, and advocate the commission’s bill, “which should not fail to pass, which protects gray partridge in this state for flve jears. Meanwhile there is an insistent and growing demand for propagation ex periments with our native species, es. ally of our own quail or bob. te. This problem, with this spe- is apparently on the verge of a satisfactory solution, the main thing now being to systemantize the thing for the general public. The numbers of people already dabbling in quail- raising is astonishing, and that neariy all over the United States. One day last week an eastern dealer shipped thirty odd dozen quail to one state in the middle west. The Massachusetts game commission informs me that they expedt to have started tliis spring in that state at least ten new quail hatcheries. Z So much new information relative to this problem has been coming in of pe whil for a short time the issue of the prom- ised article on method and the an- experimentation. HERBERT K. JOB, State Ornithologist, West Haven. Forgiving Injuries. One of the first things for each of us to learn is the fact that life is not one long dream of pleasure, but a stern discipline, and a discipline that is so severe and so exacting for some of us that we become seasoned campaigners long before the struggle is over. The severe discipline, however, effects us in different ways. To some of us the hard training brings also hard feelings and the_desire for retallation, while to others the exacting experiences open the springs of their human nature, and arouse only the tenderest sympathy. Much depends on one’s nature, of course and if a man is naturally resentful, it is more than likely that he will take advantage of every opportunity to re- taliate. To such a person time only will bring the realization of the foll: of turning to avenge past affronts. Ever if he could do so, the empty satisfac tion that would probably come witr | the first flush of his retaliation would that he had lowered himself to th: level of his enemy.

A well known American portrait painter, armed with a full length por- trait stody taken off the stretcher and rolled under his arm, ventured to call on Whistler one Sunday morning. His modest knock brought the great man to the door, says a writer in Great Thoughts. Opening it a little way, he thrust out his head and demanded ir- ritably: 8 “What brings you here? Whas do you want?”’ # The artist stammered out that he ‘was a student and had a study that he would much like to show Whistler. ‘Whistler said, “M-m-m—just wait a minute!” and, rushing back ipto the room, he turned every picture with its face to the wall and removed from the easel the canvas on which he was engaged. Then, motioning the Amer- fcan in, he sat down and said: “Now, what do you want? You know I'm fearfully busy today, but sit down—sit down!” X A Puzzied Artist. Of unsigned paintings the Dussel- dorfer Zeitung tells an amusing story, which may interest picture buyers. Achenbach, the German artist, enjoy- ed & vogue somie years ago. A certain er a seascape represented as a genu- ine Achenbach. Afterward it was pronounced to be a copy. The buyer brought an action against the dealer, that his picture was genuine and the other was a copy. ~ Achenbach himself was summoned by the courts te tell whick was' which. Amazed at the absolute similarity of the two paintings, he gazed at them for a long time, inspected them ¢losely, front and gack, sniffed them and then frankly admitted he could not tell which was the original and which the copy.
