How We Grow.

The prevailing business activity
demonstrates in one way the wonder
full recuperative power of the country,
shall we realize something of the ma
TONS progress and power of growth
Since 1880 the. population has in
creased from 5O,OOO,OOO to 6O,OOO,-
600; an addition of 10, 100000 inhab-
itants, about as many as Great Brit
ain has gained in thirty years, is but
one of the elements at work. From
abroad we have added during the six
years, by immigration alone, popu-
latiOn greater than that of the entire
state Of Ohio or Illinois. Another
nation, more populous than this ma
ton was when it achieved it's indie
pendence, has been brought to these
shores across che sea since the last
census was taken. But growth in pop
ulation, surprising that of any other
nation, is but the least surprising
feature in the nations development.
The census reported about $1,000
miles Of railroad; on the 1st of Sept
ember we had $4,000. The Middle
States had added one-third to their
mileage, the states between them and
the Mississippi nearly one-third, the
Southern States nearly one-half, and
the states west Of the Mississippi more
than one-half, over 10000 miles. In
four states and one territory, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and
Dakota, have been added 10000
miles.
Mullhall, the eminent British free
trader, is authority for the state
ment, regarding American Industrial
energy, that the people of this coun-
try, only AZ per cent. of the popula-
ton of the globe, produce more than
one-third of the entire accumulated
annual wealth of the whole world.
Or, while the population of this coun-
try produces 81 5 annually per capita,
the rest of the earth's inhabitants
produce only 81 AZ per capita. France
and the United States, both highly
protective countries, respectively pro-
duce $5O,OOO,OOO and $5O0,OOO,O 1000
more than free trade England. What
q conclusive argument in favor of pro-
lection. One Of the most important
points ofthis subject is that the great
er part of the entire wealth of this
country, $33,642, 100000, has been
accumulated in the last twenty years,
during the existence of the Morrill, tar
iff The annual accumulation of
wealth in the United States, that is
the increase of the total product of q
single year over that of the preceding
one, is estimated at 1926, 100000.

How Farmers are swtndled.

Farmers do not post themselves in
regard to varieties of fruit, and are
easily imposed upon by snowy plates
and extravaganza representations.
Even if they know just what they want
and order it, they have no assurance
of getting it unless IL is of reliable nur-
series. True, farmers as a rule, are
too ready to believe what is told
them by smooth-tongued agents.
Some years ago the writer tried to in
duce neighboring farmer to join in a
purchase of $50 apple trees. A lot of
desirable varieties had been offered at
ten cents each, by g. reliable nursery
man living near, but who was going
out of the business. The neighbor de-
clined, on the ground that times were
so hard he could not spare the money.
A few days later O. tree agent came
along with his Autographs and jars of
fancy fruit, and sold the farmer twelve
apple trees at fifty cents each, and
four cherry and four pear trees at ST.
each-making $14 for eighteen trees.
All the pear and cherry trees. and
three of the apple trees died. Only
one of the trees has ever fruited, and
the fruit was very inferior. The $50
trees referred to were purchased by
three farmers. Two years ago they
formed three very pretty young or
chards, and were beginning to bear
nicely. Out of dozens of farmers who
purchased of the same ee-peddler,
not one was satisfied with the result.

Sir Joshua Reynolds Boyhood.
From st. Nicholas.

From ST. Nicholas.
When Joshua was but a mere child
his father was displeased to find him
devoted to drawing; on q sketch
which the boy had made his father
wrote: ''This is drawn by Joshua In
school, out Of pure idleness." The
child found the "Jesuit's Treatise on
Perspective, and studied it with such
intelligence that before he was s years
old he made asketch of the school and
it's cloister which was SO accurate that
his astonished father exclaimed: "Now
this justifes the author of the Per
spective' when he says that by OBJ
serving the laws laid down in his book
g. man may do wonders, for this is
wonderful"
When about II years old, Joshua,
while in church made g. sketch upon
his thumb nail of Rev. Thomas Smart.
From this sketch he painted his first
picture in oils; his canvas was a piece
of an old sail, his colors were common
ship paint, and he did his work in g.
boat-house on Cremyll beach. In
TAO, when Joshua was 1t years old,
his father tried to carry out his plan
to apprentice him to druggist, but
the boy was greatly opposed to this.
He said ST would prefer to be an
apothecary rather than an ordinary
painter, but if could be bound to an
eminent master I should prefer that"
Fortunately, Lord Edgecombe and
other friends advised the boys father
in his favor, and so Joshua was finally
sent to London and bound to Thomas
Hudson, the best portrait painter
then in England. After two years
Hudson suddenly dismissed the youth
from his studio, though his agreement
was for four years. The master said
that Joshua neglected his orders, but
others believed Hudson to be Jealous
of his pupils success.

What "sTime" they Must Have Had.
from the San Francisco CALL

From the San FRANCISCO Gall.
A few days ago q man went into g.
store at Gold Hill, New, to buy q
pair of stoga boots. "What'n We
take to fill 'em with whisky?" he
asked. The storekeeker had never
made such trade before, and the
novelty of the thing struck him at
once. Making lightning calculation
as to now much whisky the boots
would hold, hereplied: 1.-TWO dollars. !"
"Fill 'enl up" said the customer. as
he threw the money upon the counter
to make the bargain solid. The store
man with grin, proceeded to fill the
boots, but Strengthened his face in
blank astonishment when he found
the capacity of the boots to be some
thing over three gallons. The pur-
chaser departed in tickled manner
with his bootload of poison slung on
pole between himself and another
fellow, who was evidently Sin" on the
proposition. 1t will be q waste of
time for anyone to attempt to inf1ict
that same joke upon the merchant
again.

Brine for Butter.

A writer in the Husbandman, who
sells his butter for nearly twice quoted
prices, prepares brine for butter in
this way: He takes the best dairy
salt and stirs in hot water as much as
can be taken up or dissolved and a.
little more. When thoroughly stirred,
so that the brine has become as strong
as it can bemade, he strainsi it through
g. tightly-woven cloth and then sets it
away to cool. When cooled he pours
it on the package, if a firkin, to the
top OF the chime, that the supply may
be sufficient for entering every vacant
place. The same process is required
when butter is packed in jar or tub,
the purpose being to exclude the air,
the brine serving this use effectually,
and at the same time keeping it's
strength and operating in some degree
as a preservative.

Winter Cabbagess

The winter cabbage should be pulled
in dry weather if possible, but when
pulled should be stood with the roots
uppermost until all the water has
drained out from among the leaves.
Do not trim the outer or loose leaves
too closely, allowing for the the taking
off of at least one more outer coverings
before going to the cook. This will
keep the white leaves clean. II the
cabbage intended for market is to be
kept until spring, it is better kept in a
trench or outside of the buildings COW
cred with straw and earth. When
this is done great care is necessary to
prevent them from rotting. Let
the place selected be high enough so
that no water may stand there, and
it is better if upon the north side OF O.
building or board fence, that it may
not be subject to frequent thaws dur
ing winter. Put down some clean
boards, and place the cabbage upon
them, roots uppermost, packing as
snugly as possible. Do not put them
more than three deep, as the lower
specimens will be injured by the weight
of those above them if piled deeper
UAdu U1dUs OOVCI WILL a. 1cy OI vi ClOS1u
straw, hay, salt hay or seaweed, and
over this put a few inches of earth,
well beaten down, leaving occasional
chances for ventilation by winding a.
wisp of straw and placing it among
the cabbages, with one end projecting
beyond the earth, but in such q way
that the water will not follow it into
the pit. In other words, let the outer
end be the lowest. Cover but slightly
at first, but as the ground freezes the
covering may be increased to six inches
or more in thickness. Do not disturb
the pile until they are to be taken out
for roarket. In this way they may be
kept until spring, even better than in
the cellar. Small lots for family use
may be kept in the cellar, by placing
the roots upon the cellar bottom, and
standing them erect or nearly so, IS
the cellar is not too damp. If very
damp, it will be better to cut the
roots off, and pack the heads snugly
in q cask which has been previously
prepared for ventilation by having
the bottom and sides bored through.
Place this upon O. platform slightly
raised from the cellar bottom.

OCTOBER.
BY SUSAN HARTLEY

October comes across the hill
Like some light ghost, she is so still,
Though her sweet cheeks are rosy;
And through the floating thistle-down
Her trailing, briar-tangled gown
Cleans like q crimson posy.
The crickets in the stubbIe chime;
Lanterns flash out at milking time;
The daisy's lost her ruffles;
The wasps the honeyed pippins try;
A film is over the blue sky,
A spell the river muffies.
The golden-rod fades in the sun;
The spiders gauzy veil is spun
Athwart the dropping sedgeS;
The nuts drop softly from their burrs;
No bird-song the dim silence stirs-
A blight is on the hedges.
But filled with fair content is she,
AS if no frost could ever be,
TO dim her brown eyes luster;
And much she knows of fairy folk
That dance beneath the spreading oak
With tWinkling mirth and buster.
She listens when the dusky ewes
Step softly on the fallen leaves,
As If for message cheering;
And it must be that she can hear,
Beyond November grim and drear,
The feet of Christmas nearing.

why We Wear Shoes Now.
TFrom the Lewiston fMe) Journal. l

from the Lewiston Me. ] JOufnaI.
An old Waterville citizen remembers
that in 1926, the church-goers OF that
town, both male and female, used to
walk barefoot to church on Sunday,
carrying their shoes and stockings in
their hands, and to sit down in some
convenient spot and put them on just
before going into the meeting house.
The same custom was practiced in
many Maine towns in those old days.
A stern economy was observed by the
men and women who laid the founda-
tion OF Names prosperity. That is
why we are not obliged to 60 barefoot
now.

The Cigarette Habit.

From The st. Louis Tobacco Dealer.
The cigarette habit is growing as.
tonishingly among the women folks.
There are thousands of cigarettes
smoked by the fair sex in this city to-
day. Some of the ladies high in social
circles smoke them. How do / know?
Well, they send their boys, and girls,
and servants after them, and these,
after slight acquaintance, will tell
cigar-dealers for whom they are pur-
chasing the cigarettes.

FARM AM, HOME.


The Pumpkins In the Germ.
The summer day was bright and warm,
The tiny shoots OF corn spread out their
And joyous caught the smiling sun,
And all day long climbed up toward it's
charms.
And weeds Those little rogues-grew too;
And there, amid the rows of weedy corn,
Two tiny pumpkins, nesting low,
Hid shyly meath the leaves, where they were
born.
"You know that we are very small,
And very young and green BESIDES" said one
"'Tis better we should wait while
When we are older we will seek the sum-"
But taller grew the weeds and corn
Until the little pumpkins scarce could see;
"Oh dearl' cried out the smaller one,
when shall we from this dreary place be
free?"
'The great sun shines for you and me,
And cooling breezes blow for us each day;
They fan those naughty stalks of corn,
And we have only now and then ray.
o dear we never shall be freel
And those proud weeds our lowly station
jeer,
And what can be the use to try
And iairer grow, If we must perish here?"
The larger pumpkin smiled and said:
"Cheer up, dear friend, It's dark to-day, 1
But brighter days are coming soon;
The harvest is not yet, and we must grow.
Improve these days-nOt idly mourn
Anu ldlror grow odCu udy, COH pldluUS dr6 SlIls,
Perhaps these weeds some day you'll ieer,
TITS not the one who leads at first who wins. -
The summer passed, September came,
And reapers too, who harvested the corn;
They tired to death the worthless weeds,
And left the tangled field wreck fczlorn.
Now might the pumpkins laugh with Joy,
One through the autumn days smiled at the
sun;
The murmuring one was pale and small.
And withered ere the autumn day was done.

Fall Flowing.

Some fall blowing may be done this
month to good advantage, if time for
it can be spared from other work.
The land which was too wet to be
cultivated early in the spring will be
that is if plowed by turning two or
four burrows into q ridge with hol
low between them. II it is not liable
to wash away during the winter, place
the burrows 80 that the water will run
off easily. In the spring these ridges will
dry out early, and it may then be
cross plowed and fitted for early SOW
ing, often two or three weeks sooner
than it would have been ready if lying
fiat.

Saving Pears.

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker says; 81 save my Bartlett
pears SO that they make fine eating
two months after those of my neigh
bors have gone. I take a stout box
and line it with paper, almost any
kind will answer. The bottom is COW
cred an inch deep with wheat bran.
The pears are carefully picked,
wrapped separately in thin paper and
packed deeply in the bran until the
bottom is covered. Then this layer is
covered with bran to the depth of an
inch, and another layer OF pears is
placed in the same way. This is con-
tinued until the box is full, when the
cover is tackled on and the box set away
in q cool, dry place. The pears retain
their fine flavor and color"

A Ditching Problem.

An old reader and friend of the
editor Or. J. B. Hoag), sends to
Prairie Farmer g. question which he
says has puzzled many an arithmeti-
clan. Il may puzzle algebraists g.
little. 1t is this: Two brothers con-
tracted to dig 100 rods of ditch for
800. One end being harder than the
other. it was agreed that for beginning
at that end, James should receive
$1.12A per rod; and George, beginning
at the other end, should receive 8715
cents per rod. When through they
each received exactly half Of the
money. Query How many rods did
each one dig?

Fading Swine.

The swine should be given all they
can eat now, excepting those which
are to be kept as breeders. These
should be kept growing thriftily but
not fattened too much. Some farm
ers feed their fattening hogs first, and
