hlghly fertile and productive. It IS not
profitable to cultivate any except rich
land. Upon farm Of, say, one hun
dred acres of rich land, by cultiyating
fifty acres Of it in corn you can raise
as much as you can on one hundred
acres Of poor land, and thereby save
one team and one hand and gain fifty
acres for grass or other purposes.

other qualities to which l have re-
ferred the farmer is a fitting represent
ative of the highest order of American
citizenship.
Education is not altogether of
books; by experience also we learn
| much that is OF great value to us. The
farmer starting out with a common
school education can easily become an
educated man, and much of his time
can be profitably employed in the
study Of agricultural chemistry, there
by enabling him to understand better
the character of the soil which he
cultivates, and the elements which it
particularly needs to II make it pro-
ductive. By wise employment of his
leisure time il the study of phfloso-
ply, history and the great daily news

tive papers as The New York Tribune

WDat Farmers heed most


- -
Inc question what does the farmer
need most?" is brief but very compre-
hensive, and embraces many needs.
The farmer should be a well round
ed man, strong in mind and body. and
possessed of good health and of a
wife equally endowed, whose every
thought and interest are in unison
with his. They should be possessed
OF good executive ability and be cap
able OF planning and directing their
AFFAIRS wisely and intelligently, and to
carry cut their plans with energy and
industry. They should raise their
children to habits of industry, and
train and educate them to a high order
of citizenship.
Ihe next requisite to success is a
good nome farm conveniently located
to some city where he is easily access
ible to churches, schools and railroad
facilities. The home should be ample
in its accommodations for a comfort
able life, improved with suitable build
ings, with an orchard and garden, all
located most conveniently for the pur-
poses for which they are intended.
The farm should be plentifully sup
piled with water with convenient
passways to and from the same, with
good gates where reasonably required
The acreage should be ample for a
rotation of crops and to keep a variety
OF stock. 1t must necessarily be fertile
to produce good crops and to provide
an income sufficient to enable him to
live comfortably and to be q useful
citizen. It is necessary to Craze and
rest our tired fields, to supply manure
as fast as possible to old sod fields so
~as-to renew them and fit them for
raising another crop. Farming cannot
be carried on with success on a few
the necessary expenses of living The
necessary expenses of an ordinary
family are just as great on farm of
forty acres as they would be on farm
of one hundred or two hundred acres.
Every business succeeds by the
amount OF it, and whether it be a
school, store, a newspaper or q rail
road, the profit is all in large bust
ness. 1.-THE fixed charges and expenses
of business do not increase in pro-
portion to the profits"
Such has been my experience. be-
gan life as a farmer on one hundred
acres Of land it required economy and
hard work to make more than q liv-
ing. l then tried two hundred acres,
and it WIS rot r7til thea that began
to accumulate or to advance, and I
have continued to advance and to ex-
tend operations until l now have six
hundred acres of land richly improved,

CUR sTuPENDoUs NATION.

Colossal Figures That Record Indus
trial ana Commercial Progress.
AS the end of the year 1902 draws
near and the accounts are cast up. it
is seen that this has been the most
prosperous year in all the history of
the great republic Looking back
over the last five years it may be
safely said that never did the Ameri-
car. people see before such quin-
ouinnate. The figures that tell Of the
nations prosperity and industrial
commercial growth are SO stupendous
as to be inconceivable. So far from
having developed its resources the
United States seems to be only begin
ming to use them. The decade be-
tween 1880 and 1890 was the era of
tremendous railway extension, and it
was then thought that all the natural
resources and riches of the country
had been tapped, but the building of
the railway lines was merely prece-
dent to the magnificent development
of the country which began in the last
i've years of the decade ending with
this year.
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser has compiled some figures that
must enthuse every American as he
reads in them the Tremendous superb
ority of his country in material re
sources and prosperity tc every other
nation in the world. Take the item OF
railway extension. The last ten years
have not been considered remarkable
for the new mileage, but there are
% 600 miles more Of railway under
oneration now than ten years ago, that
is 5000 mile smore than the entire

"Thatll do" said his honor, and
turning to the witnesses he asked a
few direct questions. He did not ask
them if they believed that the man
was devoted to the constitutions of the
United States, but Does he get
drunk?"
A few searching questions and
series of frank answers satisfied the
court, and another man was admitted
to all the rights of an Americn citizen.
Judge Hale's method was out of the
common line, but it was sensible, and
he got all the information he wanted.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
Bits of Scrapbook Wisdom on Var-
Gus Household Topics.

Gus Household topics.
Luncheons are the most interest
ing and popular means Of entertaining,
il the hostess is able to take complete
control of the situation. To do this
she should undertake no more than
she can carry through with success and
without too much labor for herself.
If she fails to observe this rule she
may have a dish Or two more on her
bill Of fare. but it will be at the ex-
Z pense Of i personal WEAKNESS which
WI. render her unfit to enjoy the party
she has planned. The guest would
never miss the extra dishes. They will
miss sadly the good spirits and powers
of entertainment Of the mistress of the

A traveller contributes that on a re-
cent ocean-crossing, raisins proved his
stay and stimulant during a rather bad
attack of sea sickness. He got them
with difficulty, he says, a few at
time. by fleeing the steward, and ad-
yises transatlantic travellers to put a
small box Of nice plump table raisins
in their state room kit.
A bit Of kitchen economy is that
cold fried or scrambled eggs, which
would seem to be no longer useful,
may be chopped and mixed with
n1.ncemeat, to the latter's improve
ment. A poached egg, too, that was
not needed may, if it is not broken,
be returned to the water and boiled
hard, and used to garnish or mix with
a salad.
Wooden salad bowls are pretty and
approDriate. Burnt wood has been
rather overdone, but decoration IN
green leaves is especially attractive
for these bowls. Carved and inlald
bowls are also seen. A wooden fork
and spoon accompany the bowl, with
decorations to match.
The neatest and prettiest tea trays
are cblong. with brass or wooden
handles and glass bottom which may
be removed to admit a piece of burnt
leather or rich fabrc, racing print, or
other decoration.
Glass is being used also in the man

about three inches thick and annealed
to make the tub durable. The erect
is clean and beautiful. The idea IS a
German one and is rapidly gaining
favor in this country.
