NEW CENTURY HINTS.
why Farmers should PntrOnize I'm
proved Methods and Make Their
Calling Respected.

A new century has begun, and it is
evident that agriculture will make
rapid strides in the next few years.
1t is evident that it is soon to take
its rightful position in the world.
Every farmer can do something to-
ward helping on this forward move
ment by improving his methods and
his surroundings and educating him
self along the advance lines. Let
them shake off that absurd jealousy
and distrust of each other that has
SO long prevailed and been kept alive
by crafty politicians. Get rid of that
foolishness and unite in advancing
their interests along all lines The
farmer should hold a position in the
world equal with men of any other
vocation and profession, and he will
when he makes himself their equal in
education and skill He should have
strong voice in shaping legislation,
and he win when he ceases to dele
gate to lawyers the power to legis-
late for him. Every farmer should
consider these matters seriously and
do all he can to advance himself and
his fellow farmers along all the lines
mentioned. Let them insist that the
taxes they pay for education shall
be devoted to educating their chill
dren to the farm instead of away
from it. and that this education shall
be practical and worth to the child
all it costs. Let them insist that the
improvement of the country is as es-
sential as the improvement of cities,
and that all appropriations of the
public money shall not be for granite
and marble buildings, but that por-
ton of them shall be for the farmers
benefit. Fred Grundy, in Farm and

STAY ON TEE FARM.
There Is No Place on Earth Where n
Man Can Enjoy More Free
dom or Comfort.

The question of farmers moving to
town viii admit of considerable dis
cussion, but we take the side in IA
vor of staying on the farms. There
is no place on earth that man may
enjoy more freedom, more fresh air,
and better grub" than right out on
a quarter section of land, located at
a convenient distance from good mar
kets. What is there more enjoyable
than looking among punches of young
swine, selecting the ones you think
nearer your ideal, or watching calves
and colts playing in the lots, frisking
about and enjoying the sunlight?
What is nicer than to see hen with
flock of young chicks all of one
color, scratching for bugs, etc, each
one busy and seeming to enjoy it.
self to very high degree? What farm
er does not love to see crops grow
ing, from the time they first peep
above the ground until the final stage
of maturity is reached? People of
ripe, old age may take more enjoy
ment in living in town, where every
,
their mail more regularly, and where
they are not burdened with the cares
of farmers life; but even this class
might derive more real pleasure on
the farm where there is more quiet
than in town, where there is always
more or less generally more) noise,
and a general hustle and hustle. An
other point in favor of living on the
farm is the rearing of family of
children. Notice, if you will, the strong
probabilities of city boys getting into
bad company, and forming such hab-
its as their parents would blush to
have them become acquainted with.
While the lads of the country do not
come in contact with so many of
these things, yet they find out enough
sometimes to do them a great amount
of harm. We would not try to ele-
vate ourselves above our friends in
town, but we do believe children are
more apt to form habits through evil
associations in the alleys and back
streets of a town life than is prob
able in connection with farm life.
We do not consider ourselves author
ity on this subject, but simply write
our thoughts in connection Herewith,
hoping it may cause some one to
pause before leaving the farm in an
effort to better his condition in the
world. The farmer feeds the world.
Just think! All the multitudes of
earth live from the labor of the So
called 'hayseed," and why should we
think ourselves above such work? So
! would say, stay on the farm-W. w.

The width of the tires there varies
from three to ten inches, most of the
four-wheeled vehicles having six.inch

longer than the front one to prevent
improper tracking. In Germany. where
the main roads are models of smooth

have at least a four-inch tire, and even
the pleasure carriages are required to
be shod with tires wider than those so
often seen in America on the heaviest
trucks. Similar laws exist in Austria

SEED WHEAT KERNELS.
Upon Their Careful Selection De-
ponds, in a Great Measure at Least,
the Resulting Crop.

Great possibilities lie in the devel-
opment of seed wheat. Constant Sc
lection of the largest kernels win
have constant tendency to improve
the seed and the resulting crop.
Some experiments were carried on in
France to determine to what extent
the crop could be improved by such
a selection. Though the process was
carried on for only three years, the
results were apparent. The expert
ment was tried in two directions, al
ways selecting the largest seeds for
one crop and the smallest seeds for
another. At the end of three years
the yield on the plats planted with
the large seeds was very marked over
the plats that had been planted with
the small seeds. Also the large wheat
grains had more vigor and developed
much more rapidly than did the 9th
ers, and the crop matured earlier.
The same experimenter carried on
at the same time a parallel expert
ment. He selected for one lot the
grains that developed soonest on the
heads. and for another lot selected
the grains that matured latest on the
heads. In three years he had two
crops growing side by side, one of
them maturing six days ahead of the
other

GODS PLAN.

o mothers lonely IN your homes to-day.
From whence the voice Of glad young
life has flown
Where JOY once reigred, sits silence cold
and gray,
The children now have dear homes OF
their own.
That this might come to us one day we
knew,
For always. ere the frost had kissed the
flowers.
The fuu-aedged birdIiugs from the home
nest flew;
But ali. the autumn seemed so far for
ours.
And rot for US the hope the fond birds
share
That brings them Fastening over hill
and plain
To build and rear anew with tendrest
care
For never may We build and rear again.
But would we keep our dear ones though
we might?
Nay. mother hearts, not self love do we
know:
When once they prove their strong young
wings IN flight,
We hide our tears. and smiling bid them
90.
Some day. perhaps when little fingers twins
In clinging trustfuness about our own.
And eyes, so strangely Ike to yours and
mine
Look up with loving gIances We have
known,
With joy wen clasp he precious thing and
saw
This is reward for all our loss and pain;
This is God s plan. that haply thus we may,
Through children's children build and
rear again.
