Farming Is Farming.
1 Farming is farming lor all the year
'round
Plowing and planting and working
the ground,
' 'Tending the crops and heeding each
call.
Buying and selling and planning for
all;
But the fullness of life comes with
hearty good will
, If you give good measure of labor and
skill.
This good work goes on 'neath the
J-ord's blessed sun
In the country's pure air each day's
course is run;
And the man grows athletic and
brawny of arm,
Independent and .strong when he lives
on a farm,
While success holds a prize for the
wideawake man,
Who plans out his work and works
to his plan.
And farming is farming all the year
'round,
When clear brains and muscles bring
out of the ground
The food for all nations in various
ways,
And the farmer is "monarch of all he
surveys;”
Then all hail to the farmer! all hail
to the farm!
The mainstay of nations, the coun
try's right arm.
-—Eugene I.yon Dow.
Story of a Rural Revolutionist.
The World's Work: It is hard to
“bring home" to the readers of print
ed pages the extent and full mean
ing of the work that is going on in
tlm i’nited States to build up rural
life—to make farming pay; for this
is a kind of work that a man must
see to understand it, to measure its
full value, and to know what it will
mean in the near future to the peo
ple. Here, for example, is a little
story from life:
The best small farmer in this
nelghbothood sent his only son to an
agricultural college. When the boy
had linished his studies ite had a plan
to go away and to begin life for him
self, but his lather was eager to keep
him at home. He wouid stay only
if his father would give him complete
control of the farm. Since tlie old
man himself was the best farmer in
his part of tlie world, he yielded to
the boy's wish, with reluctance, but
he J ieldc d.
'.Vow what do you suppose John
did?" he asked, as he told the story.
“He hitched all three of the mules
to one plow. I had never done that,
but 1 pretty soon saw that he was
right. Then he spent a lot of time
and care in selecting seeds. I had
never done that so thoroughly, but 1
soon saw that he was right," and so
on, iketn after item.
The result was that, although the
farm had for years made a larger
yield titan any other in the neighbor
hood, the yield the first year of the
young man's management was :10 per
cent larger than it had ever been be
fore; and the second year 50 per cent
larger. Within a few years the meth
od of farming in the neighborhood
had become so much better that the
farmers now receive $50,000 more a
year in cash than they received be
fore John took his father’s farm in
hand.
Similar changes are taking place
in many parts of the country. The
difference is the difference between
a life of hard struggle and a life of
independence, between good roads and
bad. between good schools and bad.
between hard lives for women and
comfortable and refined lives, the dif
ference between stolidity and a glad
intellectual existence.
A Great Help.
“That old sow is not a party bird,"
said the farmer, “but she's done
more'n her share t'waru supportin’
my l'amly. liaised two litters last
year, 1!i pigs. .Made our meat from
her pigs, kept four of the best ones
for breeders an' sold t'other ten for
'nough to clothe an’ shoe th' children.
Over an' above all feeds I reckon tin
profit on her pigs last year was
more'n $100. H'goshl that's not bad
for an’ ole sow wuth mybe $20—an' I
got my 'principal' yet.”—Ruralist.
Dignity in All Work.
A great many hired men refuse to
milk cows. They seem to iliink it is
a woman’s job and beneaih their dig
nity. That's foolishness. There's no
work cf any kind on the farm that Is
beneath the dignity or any man.
Ignorance is sometimes mistaken for
dignity.

Do not frighten your nens. Go
about the yards and houses where
they are, quietly and gently, and your
hens will soon learn to know you
and not stamper away in a great
friight as we have often seen them
do on many farms, when the thick
ens were considered a kind of neces
sary nuisance that had to he loler
uted, and it often becomes necessary
to set the dogs on them from being
too familiar. With such treatment
you will not get the eggs that would
come lo you if you treated your fowls
with care and kindness.

Who Says Hard Times?
Chief Statistician Clark of the agri
cultural department estimates that
ihe ninth successive good harvest Is
practically assured to the American
farmer and that the crops of 1908
will he worth nearly $8,000,000,000.
Eight billion dollars would pay the
net interest hearing debt nine times
over.
Or it would pay the national debt
and leave enough to buy at par the
stock of all the railroads in the
count ry.
It would nearly pay off the entire
bonded debt of every American rail
road.
At assessed valuations it would buy
every acre of land in New York fity
and replace every building in it with
a little remnant over equalling the
combined assessed valuations of Chi
cago, New Orleans, St. Louis, Seattle
and San Francisco, says the New
York World.
Corn does not travel far from the
place where it is raised, which is
lucky, as there are not enough rail
roads to carry it.
A crop of 2,700,000,000 bushels
would load 2..">20,000 thirty-ton cars,
."i-fO more freight cars than there are
in the country of every sort.
The freight cars of all the world
would not carry out wheat and corn.
If there were cars enough and if
the wheat and corn were loaded into
thirty-ton cars, forty to a train, and
trains were run at two-mile intervals
at a speed including scops of thirty
miles an hour, night and day, it
would take nearly six months for the
procession to pass a reviewing stand.
A bin built the size of a city block,
t)OOx2GO, would need to be more than
six miles high io hold this wheat and
corn alone.
The hay and cotton crops and the
stupendous annual egg yield of the
American hen are in bulk and value
equally amazing.
Rural Schools.
After the pilgrim lathers had land
ed in 11'.20. the very first act of the
English colonists was to establish a
high school, hut these were for very
few people. In 1636 Harvard was
founded, and soon after that Yale and
Princeton. About lull or 160 years
after that Thomas Jefferson, who was
the father of the country school sys
tem; Washington, the great promoter,
and Alexander Hamilton, the great
teacher, gave time and thought to
this cause, and made it possible for
education to reach the masses of me
people. Washington said; "Lay broad
and deep, then, the foundation of the
general diffusion of knowledge." The
old method of teaching is pretty near
ly eliminated. The education of to
day lias come to our homes through
the rural schools: Very often the
rural school children do not go to
high school or to college; therefore,
v.e must give our rural school child
ren every advantage.
We believe that the country schools
a"e doing a great work, but we must
add domestic science and agriculture.
Good results will come then through
the little school house in the country,
and it will bring sunshine, prosperity
and good citizenship into the future
homes of these children.
Agricultural Statistics.
This is a very pretty story, very in
teresting,—this report of the govern
ment on ilie conditions of other peo
ples' crops and prognostications of
good yields; but the bureau of the
Department of Agriculture which gath
ers and issues the information is a
large and expensive bureau, and some
may ask, ‘what is the real use of it?
How does it help the farmer?’ Well,
we all know about the "pit”—the “corn
pit" and the "wheat pit" in Chicago
and elsewhere, where they get cor
ners on grain and other commodities
and maintain the prices to the detri
ment of both the producer and the
consumer. Were it not for rc-liable
government statistics on crop produc
tion. the manipulations would be far
worse than they are. and at certain
seasons the big speculators would "get
together" and practically fix the
prices. The official statistics keep them
largely in check. If there were no gov
ernment statistics, the speculators
would simply agree on a policy and
thei manufacture crop statistics to
enable them to carry out that policy
and the farmer and the bread winner
of the country would suffer.
Cotton Industries in tne boutn.
In the great cotton belt of the
South are SIS mills engaged in t russ
ing cotton seed for its oil and other
products. In these mills are 2,008
presses and in connection with them
2,702 ginstands and 3,120 linters. It
is estimated that in the production
of cotton seed oil and by products
more than $83,000,000 Is invested.
The mills annually use about 4,000,000
tons of seed, costing about $60,000,000.
When made in oil, cake, hulls aTni
linters and other products, its value
is about $90,000,000. At the present
time but little more than half the
total seed produit of the country Is
crushed.— Popular .Magazine.
"I believe in a spade and an acre
of good ground. Whoso cuts a
siraight path to his own living by tbo
help of God, in the sun and rain and
sprouting grain, seems to me a uni
versal working man. He solves the
problem of life not for one, but for
| all men of sound body.”—Emerson.
The day of the educated farmer is
upon us. Another generation and
ihe fellow who believes that all the
knowledge of farming needed can be
gained upon the farm it self will be
haid to find.
The postmaster general has ruled
that free rural delivery will be dis
continued on roads that are not kept
in condition to be traveled with fa
cility and safety at all seasons of the
year. The habit of running a few
furrows and cutting out the brush
and calling it a road will not do.

The Kind You Have
Always Bought
WHEN YOU GET RICH
Only Then Are You Appreciated for
Your True Worth.
Upton Sinclair, the novelist, was
’alking about wealth at Lake Pla
cid.
"It is pleasant to be rich." he said.
"Nobody can deny that. Many of the
pleasures of wealth, though, are false
and mistaken ones.
“When 1 was making my living by
the composition of blood and thun
der tales for boys—and I could turn
out my t-.OOO words a day— 1 knew a
pale, bent, ink-stained old chap who
wrote love stories.
"His stories did not pay; he was
very poor; but an aunt died, and sud
denly the old fellow found himself a
millionaire.
“He saw me one afternoon on Broad
way. He stopped his red car and we
chatted about old times.
“ 'And is it pleasant to be rich?’ I
asked.
" 'Yes. it is.’ he answered, as he
lighted a Vuelto Abajos and handed
me another. And do you know what
is the pleasantest thing about it? You
have an opportunity to make real
friends, friends who can understand
you. You get at last to know people
callable of esteeming you for your ow n
qualities alone. You find, sir, that
you are at last appreciated.’ ”
A Believer.
“Do you believe in telepathy?”
asked the mystical person.
"What do you mean by telepathy?”
asked Mr. Dustin Stax.
"Thought transfer—-the faculty that
enables one person to know what an
other person is thinking about.”
“Oh. yes. There’s my old friend,

"What is it?”
“Money.”
More Important.
“Ah! Mrs. Newcomb." said the up
pish Mrs. Subbubs, “my many social
duties have prevented me from calling
upon you as I should. However, I will

"Oh! that doesn’t matter much,”
replied Mrs. Newcomb promptly, "but
I do wish you’d return the groceries
