Investment in Agriculture.

Mr.. Brigham resumed his testimony. He
said that about 81, 500, ,000. 600 are today en-
ployed in agriculture. This represents the
money invested in iand farm implements
and stock. Ee thought farm investments
paid higher rates of interest forty years
ago than today. This was partly the rea-
son that al the earlier date land was not
so high in price and labor was cheaper and
he had a better local market A man
worth $1,000 in his county in Ohio forty
years ago was regarded as a rich man. A
dollar, he said, would formerly buy more
than at present, except in the case of land
and cattle His taxes were also lower
formerly. The net profits of a farm today,
taking the whole country into consdera-
ton, he did not think would be greater
than or per cent. He thought farmers
paid too much taxes, which was largely
the result Of the fact that their property
cannot be hid from the assessors as can
frequently be done in other classes of
property.

Games 3. Stevens, in Boston HeraldD
I long for a sight OF the dear old home,
The mountains meeting the plain
Beneath the blue Of summers skies,
And my heart grows young again
As 1 think of upland meadows
And the cloyer-scented air,
And the loving hands that guide me
Nearer 10 God UP there.
1 long for the sound Of the cattle,
The low of the distant herds,
Homecoming with shadows OF even,
The evening song of the birds
Before going 10 rest with the darkness;
The scent of the neW-mown hay;
The peace and the rest and the quiet
That comes with the dying day.
Ny heart IS heavy and weary,
Midst the hustle and push OK life;
long 10 sleep by the wayside,
Out OF the hurry OF strife
To walk IN the dear old life once moro
Barefooted and wild and free.
With naught but the petty childish
wounds
That were healed at q mothers knee.
And most ! long for a mothers hand.
Her touch on my fevcred brow
And the low-spoke words of comfort;
I can almost hear them now
After years have come and faded,
And 1 roam the world alone.
For my heart is heavy with longing
For the rest o. that one place-home.
