Some overparticular people do not
like to have the leaves newly fallen
blowing and drifting about the lawn in
the fall days, and SO they rake them up
and burn them. This is mistake.
Let them lie where the wind drifts
them or rake them on to and around
the shrubs in the border. The leaves
have beautiful mission while living
and most useful one after they are
dead. They are natures best protec-
ton for tender things, aside from max
ing the best of mulching, and as they
decay are a most valuable fertilizer.
Don't burn the leaves.

The American people have cheaper
coffee and sugar in plain sight. The
production of coffee has been enormous
ly increased, and that in many coun-
tries, while the production Of beet sugar
bids fair to become one of the leading
agricultural Industries of this country.
Inasmuch as the American people use
more coffee and sugar than any other
people, this is not bad prospect.

WOULD MARRY THE HIRED ME-

WOULD MARRY THE HIRED MEN,
An eastern paper says that this coun
try needs several shiploads of stalwarr
and industrious girls from Ireland and
Scandinavia to meet the demand for
domestic help. We do not think that
such an importation would help the sit
uation materially, for the girls would
not be in this country year until they
would marry the hired man, and then
the farmer would be left without help
on the farm and in the house too. Not
until this country becomes more dense
ly populated and Its opportunities for
bright and ambitious young men and
women greatly lessened are we ever
going to have a plentiful and reliable
class of domestic servants.

A writer recently referred to the frost
as painting the colors on the foliage of
the trees in the fall of the year. We
think this is an error. for the most beau
tifully tinted foliage may always be
found in those seasons when there Is
no frost, when the leaves ripen natural
Iy. This fact was especially noticeable
this fall.

HARp scnop ON THE SON.

Cotton is one of the most exhaustive
crops grown in this country. Under
the old slave system the soil was soon
worked out, and the south alone made
a success of the culture of the plant
because 1t had enormous areas of new
land to turn to as the old fields became
worn out. In those days the cotton
seed was returned to the soil as fer
tilizer. but in these later times the
seed is proving to be almost as valu-
able as the lint, and SO the crop is
pulling harder than ever before on the
SOIL The use of commercial fertilizers
and such Iegumes as are adapted to
the south is being made, but the fact
remains that when once the new lands
are all utilized for this crop then will
come the beginning Of the end of the
reign of King Cotton in America.

The time will come all through the
central west when four rod highway
will be considered wanton waste Of
good land-just exactly what 1t Is, in
fact, today. When the highways are
properly graded and graveled, as they
will be in the near future, a width of
three rods for a public road is all that
is necessary. This will restore one acre
of land to each quarter section farm
having road on one side of it, and the
grand total of such reclamations in a
county means not small thing.

The past season has been a bad one
for the farmers in England and Scot
land. The competition of the low pric-

has about ruined the agricultural in

made by Henri Fournier I'm his Morse

with travelling 100 miles i'm 100 minutes, or
thereabouts.
NJ. Fournier. when asked tonight as 10
the correctness of the story, at first af-
fected surprise, but finally admitted that
II was partly true. The run, he said,
had been made over the famous Merrick
turnpike on Long Island. In the ride
through Brooklyn fair pace had been
maintained but as soon as the open
country was reached he had shown Mr..
Vanderbilt how fast the vehicle had
Travelled i'm the Paris TO Berlin race.
Beyond Jamaica, he said, the automo-
bile was allowed to go at rate OF 10
miles an hour. and many OF the miles
he said were made in less than a minute
each.
The trip was TO Oakdale and return a
distance OF about 100 miles. According
TO NJ. Fournier he was back in the city
witffn tf1rcr hours after the start. Speed
had been slackened he said. I'm passing
