FIFE FARMER OF rllE FUrvRE.

THE FARMER OF Tllk FL TCRh.
 most independent of mon For him most laws werc framed, to him most public mon locked for support, and from tho farming class came nearly all that was best in the ranks of business and professional mon.
 This continued, with slight diminu- tion, until u little before the civil war. After the close of that struggle began the most wonderful railroad growth ever known, and the broad and fertile fields of tho west were opeued for settlement. Thousands and tens of thousands of tho more contemplating among eastern farmers left the less productive states where they had been raised to begin over again ill tho newly opened parts of tho country. Before long thoSo trans planted farmers of the new states en- tered into ClOso competition with tho stay at homes of the old ones. Because of this competition among other rCasOns moro or less connected with railroad management, tho money question, etc, prices of farm products havo since gone down, but without corresponding dec linatim of ether prices Hard times set in for most farmers long before stringcncy was felt in the centcrs of population
 The farm that unrc yielded not only living, but a comfortable income as well, enabling its owner to live like a prince, could furnish tho living only, sometimes hardly that, and thcn only when wrung out of the soil by the hard est and most unrCmitting toll. This condition, which has been aggravated in many scvtinns by the decreased de- mandS for horses, due tn tho increasing use of electricity. bicycles and hurSrlCss carriages, haE resulted in driving many uf the brightest and most energetic of the young men away from tho farms. the cities have become CongeStcd beyond prvrcdrnt and many hold tO the view that the day of the farmers prosperity has permanently departed.
 But there arc those who think differ entity. They hrlirvo the trend of the times tn be toward a better chance for the aGriCulturist, no matter what may be dnno with tho tariff or tho money of tho nation. ThrSc hold that the very growth of the cities, so much deplored by many, will assist i'll this, while the wonderful scientific advances of tho age, in their opinion, will be a still more important helpful element. In the era that is about to begin, according to these Sanguino predictions, tho farmer, in stead of being ovcrworkcd and poorly rewarded, as is now so ofton the case, will Inc master of scientific appliance. which Inc will SO utilize as to enable him to secure not only tho income to which he is entitled but such degree If lri$ur" ;lS will render it possible for him tu assume his old timc riShtful placo in affairs

came into vogue during tho reign of Louis XIV and bear tho stamp of tho furnishings of that period. This is small affair, working on pivot and filling two ncetls-a shado for the eyes from tho lampliYht and screen from the fire As it was only a small bit of ornamentatiOn, this littlo comfort i'll tho olden days was mado by ono of the family. It was sometimes painted on satin, embroidered ill gold and silver, or perhaps done in old fashioned cross stitch. It was handsomely fringcd and decorated with cord and tassrls of gilt. A writer in the New York Times gives the assurance that all kinds of satin screens arc now secn in pretty parlurs. In form they are irregular and not very large-the gilt frame SuitinS admirably the dainty texture and design. The satinS of today arc of such splendid tone that as a general rule they form d fine background for the colors and tints used on them. These affairs look well before mantel, ill corner, or they can hido the ugly radiator which finds place in some of the even high class apartment parlOrS.
 The medium SlZe screen IS alWayS ln additional need when the kitchen door opens into tho breakfast room. This useful bit of decoration can be made of linen, in somber tints, the center panel painted in strong picturesque effects, which stand out ill bold relief the sides ill dull hues, ill which a motto with quaint lettering may fill the space. Nowadays screens are treated ill the same manner as the furniture for special rooms They have become part of the upholstery. Screen frames of all sorts are now on sale at prices of wide range to suit any purse, and with the enamel paints obtainable ill any tint or effect the desired finish is quickly added.

al education was more extensive, wrote out tho score for him. By advancing $2O to q publisher Davis had the song pub ished, and it was such a great success that Inc decided to make song writing his life work. With commendable pluck he procured work as a chore boy ill a Chicago musical college and worked his way through the institution, dcvoting threo years to hard study.
 About this timo he fell ill love with a pretty octNroon girl of Cincinnati, Miss Lottio B. Stark, who gave him the inspiration for ono of his most success full songs ill avery prosaic manner. She sent him pair of Suspcnders upon which was embroidered good likeness of a lighthouse and a ship. Davis natu- rally admired tho Suspcndcrs and looked at them so long and earnestly that he concluded to write n song about a light house and a ship. The result was "The Lighthouse by the Sea-" song that won wide popularity a few years age and was played by street bands and hand organs from ono end of tho coun- try to tho other.
 Davis married the pretty octoroon in 1885, and she has been of great assist anCc to him in his musical work. They live i'll New York, and Davis has already written about 900 songs, a number Of which have been great successes. One odd thing about the business is that when song becomes popular it is soon of no valuo. A great many copies arc sold at first, hut when the public tires of it tn" sale ceases abruptly. One of Davis best productions, "On Board the Morning Star, won a prize ill com petition entered by many of the most prominent song writers ill the country

new era for the farmers has but just be- gun. In no domain of human activity is there greater scope or genius than in agriculture, No calling is so conducive to health, longevity and happiness. Sci- ence lays her discoveries at the farmers feet and -implores their use. For him the chemist tolls in the laboratory. For him the botanist gleans in the fields. For him the inventor has simplified labor and frightened toil For him scholars and experts, employed by the government, are ever at work at state and national experiment. stations to solve the problems of the soil The broad minded agriculturist who avails himself of these researches and discov- cries is a man indeed to be envied. His acres become we'll ordered kingdom- an earthly paradise.
 '"The farmer of the 3utuTe will culti- vate his acreage thoroughly and scien- tifically. Farmhouses combining in- creased convenience with architectural beauty will be constructed. Barns will be built on improved models, looking toward better sanitary conditions, bet ter care of stock and enlarged storage capacity. Fields will be tastetully sep. arated with artistic iron, wire or stone fences or bounded by well trimmed hedgerows. Shady lanes and beautiful drives will be prepared, and well kept lawns and parks will be features of the larger estates.

 It is said that A. A. Zimmerman the professional rider, receives $5, 900 for com pcting in the bicycle meets in Australia in addition to a guarantee for every race in which he ridcs win or lose
 Willie Windlc, the formor we'll known racer, is training on tho Waltham track and will go for all tho class A records shortly. WindlU was at one time Zimmer- mans most formidable rival
 Cyclist l.. D. Cabanne Is in very bad shape, and 1t Is doubtful If he will be able to do any racing for some time to come. Cabanno received a very bad fall at Asbury Park in the first days races and has not recovered from the effects.
 John $. Johnson was the first bicyclist to ride tho mile inside of two minutes in the following different ways: The mile fly ing start, standing start straightaway un- paced, standing competition and flying competition. The first performance was done threo years ago.

The laws of animal breeding and hCrcdity will be better understood, and our domestic stock greatly improved. America will possess the finest cattle in tho world, and tho states fitted for cat tie raising and dairying will vie with one another for the leadership in this regard.
 'Tho electric age will materially improve the condition of the agricul- turist. I look for the day when each farmer will own an electric equipment to furnish power for his creamery, for grinding food, for pumping water, for lighting his house, barns and lawn, and for heating his greenhouses and resi- dencc. Electric railroads will pass his door, atfording quick transit for himself and his products to the nearest market town Doubtless his horses will be reserved for farm toil. while he jour neys along the highway in a wagon propelled by means of a storage battery.

ELECTRIC KAIIEOADs WILL PASS HIS DOOR. men say. "thcrr is l0tS0 0f hope for thom in the future if they will only hold on. " Frank-W. Hawlcy, the Niagara electric power man, believes this, and he is qualified to have views upon this topic, because he pusscSScs a big farm near Rochester, where Inc carries out various pet agricultural and dairy schemes, from the success of sOmo of which he has built mp a lot of theories as to the farming of the future and its poSsibil- ties.
 "Our great cities, |" said MT. Hawley recently, "havc made market gardening romuncrative and dairy enterprises profitable. To the silo pit and the sepa- ratur the farmer of the future will be greatly indebted. Corn fodder, for years largely wasted and trodden under foot, is transformed by the silo pit into 6 nutritious milk producing food. It makes it possible for every acre of land to ahundantly support COW during the entire year, while the separator, glean- ing from the milk its cream and butter making clements, eXpeditiously and al- most without loss, greatly reduces the cost and simplifies the process of butter production.
 "New methods of feeding have been devised whereby each dairy COW can be put at her best and made to yield abun- dant yet rich milk to tho creamery. Cot tonseed meal and hulls, peanut meal, corn hulls and many other valuable feeds have come into the market. Chem ical analysis has accurately determined the constituents and value of these new food materials, and the intelligent dairy man can so use them as to obtain tho most happy results Scientific tests make it possible to ascertain unerringly the quality of the milk, and any de- ficiency can be supplied by judicious feeding. Five per cent milk will make five pounds of butter to every hundred pounds of the lacteal fluid. Even this percentage can be increased. The aerator is another and invaluable device in the hands of the intelligent farmer. It will al- most instantaneously extract all animal heat from the milk and will carry off all impurities. Disease in cattle can be easily detected by the scientific exami- nation this instrument affords.

"Do you ever expect to raise another Al lerton or an Axtelly' Chicago Tribune reporter recently asked c. W. Williams.
 1T hope to, but can't say that expect to do so. The moro experience have in breeding the moro certain am that Al lertons and Axtells do not grow on every bush. I have somo young things that I think well of, but shall not be tliscour- aged If they are not record breakers. You know there never has been 8-year-old as fast as Axtell or a 5-year-old Allerton's equal, and, that being the case, I have done very well even If should produce no moro like them.'
