Certain states best produce certain
agricultural products. At least it seems
to be taken for granted that such prod
ucts will do better in such states than
anywhere else. For instance, Connect
icut is noted for it's fine grade of to-
bacco. So is limited area in Dane
and Walworth counties, Wis. New
Jersey sends us the best sweet pota-
toes, and Michigan from just narrow
strip on the lake shore our finest
peaches. The growing of broom corn
is centered in one or two counties in
central Illinois, while we take it for
granted that all peanuts come from
Virginia and North Carolina. The
good butter comes from a limited area
Of Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and
Nebraska, while if you get hold of
piece of good cheese it Is more than
likely that it was made at Wisconsin
or York state cheese factory. Some
localities run to beet sugar and some
to sweet corn and canning factories.
In most of the cases named it is not
true that any particular locality has
any special advantage over other
places, save as the growing of certain
crops may be arbitrarily regulated by
climatic conditions. For instance, it
has been discovered that the special
soil needed for growing choice grade
Of tobacco is not confined to the limited
localities where it has been heretofore
grown, that peanuts will grow on any
Of the light soils of the south, that as
good apples can be produced in Iowa
and Minnesota as In the eastern
states, that broom corn is a good crop
for Kansas and Oklahoma and that
as fine butter can be made In Loui-
siana as in Minnesota. The mission of
improved agriculture is to look into
these things and open new areas of
territory for the growing of new crops.

RECALLS THE PAST.

There is no fragrance to be found like
the fragrance of the woods these au-
tumnal days. The ground carpeted
with the fallen, rustling leaves which
so lately emblazoned the forest with
splendor gives forth an aroma which
stirs the old barbarian instinct and
makes one want to get away from the
grind of business, the daily paper and
the telephone and live some days of the
long ago over again, watch the wood
duck preen his glorious plumage on
some secluded forest pool, hear the
chatter Of the squirrels and wild pi-
geons, the drumming of the ruffed
grouse, hear the distant bay of the
hound on track of the deer or cast a
line in the woodland stream for trout
or bass. Strange how so small a
thing as the fragrance of the dying
leaves could recall so much of the al
most forgotten past. but for us it does.

SHOULD WORK FOR $40, 900.

Every man should work hard and
economize to make himself worth $10,-
900 for the reason that he should have
this much at least to care for him and
his when he gets too old to work, and
having got this much which he can call
his own it then Is small odds whether
he gets very much more or not. More
money makes more worry and care,
more scrapping in the probate court,
more fees for the lawyers, and still we
note that the men who work the hard
est to make more and more money are
the very ones who do not in any sense
need it and who only find it an addi-
tional burden and worry when they get

WON'T MILK.

1t seems ON the face Of it strange
that a time of general agricultural
prosperity such as the country has
rarely known could in any way injure
any farm industry, but it Is a fact that
such condition has seriously hurt the
creamery business. 1t comes about in
this manner: The farmers, finding
themselves ON easy street, very natu-
rally sought some relief from the
heavy burdens of farm work, and the
keeping of dairy herd being one of
the most slavish and burdensome of
the farm interests they naturally de-
cided to quit milking, with the result
that not few creameries have been
forced to quit business In those locali-
ties where they had done business sue
cessfully for many years

Jersey blood The butchers do not like
this sort of beef even when it is well
fattened, for the fat I'll such animals
is of such a very deep yellow color that
it looks ahnost repulsive, and people
will not buy the meat. The Jersey is
strictly of value as dairy COW and for
no other purpose whatever. The male
calves are best killed very young.

small fry stockholders had been frozen

is q costly way OF managing such a
