The Love Of Home.

The love of home and old friends
and associations is a powerful agency
in preventing many sections of the
country from becoming completely
depopulated. Thousands of farmers
work along year after year on the
poor worn-out farms of some east
ern states who. if it were not for
this fact of old friendships and
associations would pull up and ply
their calling in some more fertile
and productive region. Some of these
are happy in their ignorance, and
don't know what they might do.
We lately came across a farmer from
the far east, where n five acre field
of corn-Yankee corn at that-fer-
tilted with handful of phosphate
or a dead moss bunker in each hill,
was a big corn crop, who simply
could not comprehend that one man
and team working forty days could
care for a field of forty acres of
corn which would yield 1000 bushels
in the middle west. 1t was simply 4
problem in agriculture too big for
him to und 'rstand.

A Wicked Waste.

We used to know him well when
as boy we used to go to his cabin
in the big Wisconsin woods. He was
a past master in woodcraft and knew
where to find the deer and the coons.
We like to recall the memory of
those grand old forests-the mighty
beech, hard maple and white oak
treasures which he was compelled
to slaughter and burn in log heaps
in order to get bit of land upon
which to grow crop. And such
work as it was to try to grow crop
among those stumps, with the deer,
the coons and the squirrels and the
wild pigeons after every kernel of
grain which he tried to raise. The
standing timber on his farm, had it
been preserved. would have been
worth over $500 an acre now. With
fire, OK team and axe he absolutely
destroyed in ten years what nature
had been hundreds of years in grow
ing. 1t was this way all over the
country. Those magnificent forests
can never be replaced.

Hard Maple Shade Trees.

friend who wants some hard
maple trees for ornament and shade
around his home has asked US when
to sow the seeds of this tree. If
hard maple trees are wanted it will
be = very slow process to obtain them
in this manner. \. better way is TO
do this: Go to the woods and dig
up trees from two or three inches of
trunk growth. Get as many good
roots with the tree as possible, and
this is not difficult for this tree is
u surface rooted one. Trim every
limb off and cut back to height of
eight feet. Plant in the spring in
well mellowed and prepared SOIL
Mulch heavily and see that the tree
has a plen full supply of water the
first two years. Such a tree will put
out a nice new growth from dormant
buds, and if cared for will make n
handsome shade tree at the end of
ten years. To raise one from the
seed would take over twenty years.
Remember the watering, for that is
'all important.

Two Things to the Good.

We hear a good deal about the
disadvantages and drawbacks of life
On the farm, far more than we do
of the pleasant things connected
with it. Now here are two things
which we have never seen mentioned
% the credit of farm life-one that the
farmer is almost wholly exempt
from the financial burden of main
tanning the credit of municipality
n the matter of having 30 subscribe
Cor this, that and the other thing
IF a semi-public character, an obli-
cation which the town man cannot
svade even il he would. Again, the
farmer never has to sell ON credit
Or keep books; IN fact, he is the only
business man who does strictly
sash business, and he never loses
anything by bad debts. He may
have to get up in the night To take
fare of sick horse or cow, or the
,oung things when they come in bad
weather., but he doesn't have to walk
he floor nights trying to devise
ONE way to raise the money to meet

Matrimonial Propositions.

Every little while we come across
eases where some old bachelor gran
ger is trapped into answering some
matrimonial advertisement, such as
are published in the flash papers of
the big cities. when he does this
foolish thing it is always at the ex-
pense of his pocketbook and his
peace of mind. Don't try to get IL
wife this way. 1t doesn't pay. No
woman worth having will advertise
herself for sale IN a matrimonial
way. There's better way. There
are plenty of nice girls, or, if you
want something better matured and
with more experience, nice widows,
to be found right in your own com
munity-that is, if you are worthy
OF the love and society of good
woman. Look around home. The
bachelor granger who goes to Chi
cago for a wife might about as well
get his neck broken be1ore he gets
there.

Tie Real Need Of Living.

How to live and, while making the
most of the talents given, at the
same time to get the largest measure
of enjoyment and happiness out of
the fact of living, is a problem which
but few men solve satisfactorily. A
misconception, which associates all
happiness with money and makes the
dollar and the getting of it the chief
thing, is the cause. The most arbi-
trary of our wants are purely artifi-
cial ones. When n man has secured
a comfortable home in which to live,
is insured sufficient food and cloth
ing, can properly educate his family
and is out of debt, he is, SO far as
his real needs are concerned, Just
as well off as the millionaire. Now.
but very few know this, or il they
do they fail to profit by it. They
want more dollars, more mortgages,
more bonds and acres just as badly
after their real wants are provided
for as ever, and to get these things
will toll and slave. denying them
YES rest, recreation and enjoyment,
and keep up the wretched grind both
for themselves and their families,
year after year, till paralysis,
Bright's disease or sciatic rheumatism
trips them up some day, and then
for the first time they begin to real
ize what fools they have been. II
you, who may read this, are one OF
those who have been able TO meet
the real needs of physical existence
in the manner indicated above. and
find your productive capacity in ex-
cess of such needs, know this, that
you now owe something to your
family, to society, to the world al
large. Seek to grow into bigger
broader, more useful man yourself
on plane above the dollar While
the probate court will have to dis
troute your dollars when you arc
gone, remember that the legacy of Q
noble manhood Is shared alike by
your friends, your family and tho
community in which you live with
out action of the courts and will
last after the dollars you have saved
will be all spent.

A novelty to be seen in the corn
belt of the west this year is some
fields of topped corn, this method of
saving corn fodder being done by
the women and possibly grandpa.
Topped corn makes fine forage, but
costs too much. This method is in
more general use in the south than
It Is in the north.
