WHAT THE AGE NEEDS.

The law of supply and demand gets
in its work on all the professions, as
hundreds of nice young fellows who
have been educated for the law, the
ministry. teaching and medicine at an
expense of $500 or $1,000 find out
as soon as they graduate. They find
that they have stuff to sell on an al
ready glutted market and that only a
few of them-really very few-can
make place, position and a good liv-
ing. There is a great waste right here.
The world is clamoring for men In a
hundred departments Of business but
not this sort. 1t is practical and con-
structive age, and it is the men who
can do things who are wanted = men
who can open mines, assay ore, build
bridges and great buildings, buy, judge
and handle stock, raise big crops at the
smallest cost, economically utilize the
labor of other men, handle complex ma
chinery, originate new methods-rath-
err than those who know of and have to
do with the past as expounders of an
cient theory or explorers in metaphys-
ical mysteries. Call it a bread and
butter age If you will, the fact re-
mains that the essential spirit of mod
ern progress deals almost wholly with
the future and not the past. Leave the
past with the monks, the ritualists
and the dust of cathedral sepulchers
and blaze out new road, young man.

SOME DROUGHT LESSONS.

Some lessons have been well learn
ed as the result Of the farreaching
drought of last year. One was that the
constant .tillage of growing crops wher-
ever possible is just as good as If not
better than irrigation during drought;
another, that some sort of summer for
age crop for use for the dairy cows and
the calves and hogs is almost invalu-
able; another, that such dry time
may be used to great advantage in get
ting rid of sorrel, 'quack grass and 9TH
err pests by constant worrying them
with pillow or cultivator while it lasts;
another, that the fields deeply plowed
or semisubsoiled the year before can
stand the effects of such drought much
better than shallow soils.

CAN DO 1T IF HE WILL TRY.

A young man writes us from Illinois,
wanting to know whether 1t Is possible
for him to work his own way through
one Of our agricultural colleges. 1t is
If he is made of the right sort OF stuff,
and it has to be pretty good stun. Most
of these colleges are SO managed that
all the work a student is able or will
ing to do upon the college farm is CIV
en- him at liberal rate Of compensa-
ton. A young man should get together
fair outfit of clothes and not less
than 500, however, before tackling
this job, for he could hardly expect to
do justice to his studies and spare more
time for labor than would suffice to
pay for his board and incidental ex-
penses. Then II he should be sick his
nest egg would come In handy. An ed
ucation thus dug out by hard knocks,
self denial and perseverance Is always
worth more to the boy than when alb
sorbed at the expense of sighted drafts
upon the governor at home. A. course
of study attempted on these lines
means no luxuries, mighty little athlet-
les, no girl business and quite likely
celluloid collars and ten dollar dress
and Sunday suit. Moses put in forty
years at this sort of work in the will
derness to fit him to lead his people,
and any young man who wants to be
somebody and do something can afford
to play the Moses act for three years
The very best training for young
man is to want a whole lot of things
real bad and not be able to get them.
Then after awhile he will learn to
want something worth having, will go
for it and get it.

THIS MAN IS RIGHT.

One of the most successful hog rails
ers of the state of Iowa says that it is
all mistake to assume, as is generally
done, that the most profitable hog to
produce is the six-month-old 225 pound
pig. He for years has let his pigs grow
naturally until they were a year or
more old, living on clover and ranging,
making big. strong frames before they
were put up to fatten for the market.
claiming that the forcing process for
early marketing is provoking cause
for disease. We believe he is everlast-
ingly right in his conclusions.

RICH AND DOESN'T KNOW 1T.

The richest man in America has to
chop wood so that he may get up APP
petite to eat bowl Of crackers and
skimmilk. That's enjoying life. is it
not? You call yourself poor: but, COM
pared with this CrGsus. when you sit
down to your three square meals day
and return thanks not only for the
food, but for the good health and appe-
tite, which is one of the compensations
of hard work and hard knocks, you

THE BAD BOY AND THE SCHOOL.

THE BAD BOY AND THE SCHOOL.
This item is for the fifteen-year-old
boy who thinks it Is a smart thing to
act up so mean at school that he wears
out the life of his teacher and destroys
the good work which the school was
intended to accomplish. This sort Of
heather are found in country as well
as city schools. They are too big for
q little woman to thrash and seem to
have no moral sense which may be ap-
pealed to. Now, boys, you are the ar
chitects of your own fortunes. You
can improve the educational advan-
tages given you and become useful and
worthy citizens or you can raise Cain,
as you do in school, graduate from
there into brake beam tramp and
die dirty bum. You can make your
choice. The sure way to get into plen-
ty of trouble when grown to manhood
is to make lots of trouble in the pub
lie schools. You ought to have the
meanhess well licked out Of you. but
the teacher can't do it, your father
won't, and the school board had rather
fire you than lick you. Fun and plen-
ty of it is birthright of the American
boy, but your type of meanness is not
fun; it is the outcropping of the hea-
then in you, and you belong with the
Moros or Tagals of the Philippines
rather than with the people of civiliz-
ed North America. Turn over new
leaf.

We know of n certain farm in the
west which is well fenced with wire
strung on posts set a rod apart. There
is nothing peculiar about this, but the
owner has painted all the posts barn
red and given them white cap, and so
every one who goes by the farm wants
to know whose farm that is, and they
can then turn toward the gable end of
the big barn. and there is the name of
the farm and the owner in big white
letters. In doing this he has made his
place landmark

HOGS AND sIxTY-sEvEN CENT CORN

A friend wants to know what price
hogs must bring to make profit on
feeding them 81 cent corn. Fed under
proper conditions. bushel of corn will
make ten pounds Of pork. and for all
ordinary purposes this rule is accepted
as standard of measuring the relative
values Of corn and pork. Thus the pork
so made from 67 cent corn must bring
$3.50 per hundredweight in order to let
the feeder out. Under present condi-
lions we should try other rations for
the fatting hog. Wheat at 60 cents per
bushel will go further than corn at 81
cents. Barley at so cents is cheaper
feed: also mill stuff and the low grades
OF wheat and -four. There is certain
loss In making pork which sells for
$3.50 out of 81 cent corn wholly.

CEMETERIES AND EvERGREENs.

While the SMALL evergreen seems to
many an appropriate tree to plant upon
a cemetery lot. it does not take many
years for the little tree to become a
large one, when its roots will take pos
session of the whole lot, heave the
monuments out of plumb and so OBJ
scure the place with their dense fune-
real shade that one had as soon be bur-
led in the Great Dismal swamp. Don't
bury the sleepers in gloom. Let the

have had little enough of while living,
play over their resting place. Make the
sacred acre bright with grass and flow
ers, and If the trees must be planted
let them always be Of the deciduous
types and not evergreens.
UNREST.
While not migratory in the sense that
Abraham and Lot were when they
dwelt in Canaan, the American people
are still the most restless and unset
tied of all civilized peoples. The bust
ness directory Of any town will under
go almost a complete change every ten
years. Nearly every farmer will sell
his farm and home If he can get his
price. The desire to change, to see and
live in new countries. make new neigh
bors and friends, amounts almost to a
craze. Our people do not seem to un-
derstand the blessings of contentment.
no matter how well they may be fixed,
and so they sell and pike off to Tennes'
