Short Farm ltenns,

Land values have rapidly and per.
manently increased in this country in
the last fifty years. This is especially
noticeable. in the "jumping'f West,
along the lines of new railroads.
Land values must continue to in.
crease generally, because the availa-
bic area of land in tho country is now
so small as to render inevitable it's en-
tire absorption in few years.
That was a curious bargain a farmer
made with a laborer. to dig his pota-
toes for Zone potato q hill" OF
course this contract did not confine
the laborer to q selection from each
hill, so he took the largest wherever
found. These averaged about half q
pound in weight; and as. there were
1000 hills to the acre. his share was
just one ton, or SO 1.3 bushels. and
at so cents q bushel they amounted
to $50. He dug at the rate OF one-fourth
OF an acre q day, making his daily
wages IS. It took over one-fourth of
the crop to pay him.
Realizing the fact that the boys and
girls OF to-day, will be farmers and
farmers wives of quarter of a centu.
ry hence, how important that they be
not corrupted; that they be elevated
and ennobled; that they be encouraged
to study, think. investigate, that they
may be better men and women, better
farmers and farmers wives than we.
Oh we cannot be too careful with our
boys and girls! They are the hope of
the nation.
A horse for use does best with just
enough food to replace the waste of
his system aud of q kind to keep him
feeling WE'LL" More than that is q
damage in every way. He wants a
little fat under his skin, a little be.
tween his muscles and less, but some,
about his bowels. If he gets fatter it
collects about the heart. impairing
the force its action; it infiitrates the
muscular tissue, lessening his strength;
it accumulates about the digestive
organs, weakening their efficiency. He
con not get rid of it as the COW does
by discharging 1t into her milk. It
''wads him up all over" as q good
horseman puts it. making him less
serviceable. less vigorous and more
subject to all sorts OF ills that horses
are heir to.-Rural New Yorker.
