During an extended ride through one
of the most prosperous sections of the
west we noted the home surroundings
of % farm homes. They graded all the
way from the ideal to the horribly real.
Two of the % homes were models, and
of these we wish to say word. Neither
belonged to what are known as big
farmers, in each case the farm itself
being limited to so acres. The houses
were neither expensive nor large, but
were neatly painted, as were the barns
and outbuildings. Each was protected
on the north and west by an artificial
grove. Each had nice large dooryard
filed with shade and fruit trees, from
which the farm animals were rigidly
excluded. The windmill at one place
had Virginia creeper planted at the cor
ner Of the towers and festooned the
tower in a very graceful and pretty
manner. At the other the base of the
tower of the mill was fitted up into a
neat little milkhouse. Neither of these
dooryards was cut with lawn mower,
but were kept neatly trimmed down
with a scythe two or three times dur
ing the summer. Everything about the
yards and barns on these two places
was neat and tasty, and both were
farmhouses where country life might
be enjoyed to the fullest extent. But
the other 26-well, they graded down
pretty fast. There were three or four
which would pass--that is, their APP
pearance would perhaps satisfy the av-
erage person, and then there came the
old ragtag and bobtail farm home we
all Knoxville home on the rented
farm, with the turks roosting on the
reel of the new reaper standing under
the soft maple tree, the mutilated fans
Of the windmill flying signal Of dis
tress while it walled the whole day
long for a few drops of oil, the red
shote and the roosters fighting over the
contents of the slop pail at the kitchen
door, a gate on the ground and barn

and underbrush, ragweed and wild
hemp investing all the place, the entire
outfit degenerate libel originated by

Asked lately to name quickly and
without consideration some one thing
which might be accepted as an indica-
ton of itself that a man was good
farmer, we said, straight furrow.
The straight furrow nearly always In
dicates good and correct methods, of
blowing. 1t means straight fences and
things on the square all around the
farm premises. 1t means a certain
care and pride taken by the man who
draws such a furrow, not only in the
matter of the furrow itself. but in all
his other farm work 1t means straight
business methods. 1t means that he
cares for his tools and his stock. The
fellow who in finishing up land in
blowing has a piece rod wide in the
middle unplowed when he is finishing
up the two ends is not only WARBLER
in the matter of blowing, but ten
chances to one you will find his ma
chinery out of doors. his COW in the or
chard, his wife cutting the wood to get
dinner and a chattel mortgage on his
team. Teach your boy to draw a
straight furrow when blowing, for it
means good deal to him.

THE TRAMP REMEDY.

1t is said that not less than 10000
tramps during the summer season are
trailing along the rights of way of the
railway systems of this country, ever
like Little Joe in BLEAK House"
"a-movin on" a vagabond tribe having
a community of interest in all forms of
cussedness possible within the pale of
the law and some forms of which are
not. They drift through the country
during the summer and besiege the po-
lice stations of the cities In winter.
They are the product of the railway,
cannot exist without the ride on the
blind baggage or the brake beam and,
denied this method of transit, would
completely disappear, because walking
is work, and work they won't. 1t is in
teresting in this connection to note that
the Pennsylvania railway has this
summer introduced a police system for
their road which has practically rid it
of the tramp nuisance. If this example
should be generally followed by all the
roads, they would be rare thing in
side of five years.

Good old DR.. Johnson sent his Prince
Rasselas among all classes and condi-
lions of men in the vain attempt to find
some condition of life, some occupa-
ton, which was free from the care and
fret of living, and the story shows that
he looked for the impossible and that
life was inevitably associated with
care and trouble in some form or other.
To meet the ills of life bravely, to have
manly and elevated purpose in living,
to be ever seeking wider fields of
knowledge, to keep the man sensual
and animal in subsection to the mind
intellectual and immortal is liv-
ing, whether it be the man high in life
or the day laborer

English millers say that they are
obliged to mix large quantities of inn
ported wheat with the home grown
wheat to obtain a sample of flour that
will rank as first class and, command
a good price. They say that the quail
ty of the English wheat has degener-
ated for milling purposes and charge
that this is in part the result of lack
of care In selecting seed. There is no
doubt that inferior seed, small or
shrunken, will result in poorer grain,
especially if the practice is continued.
The large, plump grain is the cheapest
seed to use. A change of seed from one
locality to another may have some
effect in improving it, and experiments
In regard to cross fertilization are in
progress. which are hoped viii unite
the good qualities of some of the most
hardy prolific and best milling varle-
ties. Some of them have been very
successful Thus far.

The general lowering Of interest
rates has been great boon to nearly
every farmer who has to wrestle with
a mortgage upon his farm. Where the
loan is in such shape that 1t can be re-
funded there is no trouble anywhere in
getting the loan extended at per cent
or even less We recall the time well
in the west when Is per cent interest
was considered the right thing. This
difference in interest rates has much to
do with the improved condition of
western farmers. OF course when a
farmer has got rid of the mortgage and
has little money to loan out himself
it alters the case

BY every right, though no law covers
the matter, the good wife on the farm
should have exclusive control Of the
she should not be expected to furnish
the old man tobacco or pay the taxes
out of this, her private fund. There
are quite good many things which a
woman wants which the average man
cannot understand why she wants.
One hundred hens well cared for will
produce revenue of 500 year, and
this is little enough to let woman
have when she will spend every dollar
of it in a most economic effort to make
her husband and children happier. You
man, there, just let that agg money
alone after this.

One of the first things which con-

and also to the man. the poor man,
who now pays two prices for his oleo.

few barns and houses were painted in
the locality where he lived. This is
economy with a vengeance-a sort Of
economy which should have no place
on the farm of today. Paint for looks
Paint for reputation. Paint for prog

it does cost something.

A prominent agricultural writer
makes the statement that there Is no
better apple growing state than Iowa.
This statement is far from true. Condi-
tons In Iowa as whole are not favor
able to the growth of this fruit. At
best it can only be said that in most Of
the state only fall and summer varie-
ties of apples can be grown, limited
section in the southwest corner Of the
state having loose soil alone produc-
ing long keeping or winter apples.
Iowa will have to depend upon Nilsson
ri and New York for many years yet

SAVE TIVE LEAVES.

Don't gather and burn the leaves in
the fall and for that matter never burn
them. The dead leaves and the snow
are natures protectors for all tender
things. Nothing Just takes the place
of leaves for this purpose When they
are raked up in the spring, use them
for mulching OF the trees and berry
bushes. Having no use for them thus,
put them in a compost heap where
when rotted you viii obtain the very
choicest material for the growth Of
house plants. Don't burn the leaves.
