BOOK NOTICES.

Of all history that of our own generation is
that which it is hardest to find concisely reported.
1t is easy to get historical works in which in a
brief outline is given a summary of the nations
history during the administration of Adams,
Madison, Van Buren, or Pierce. But to get the
gist of any important movement for the last thir-
ty years, the reader must usually search through
newspaper and magazine files or read a number
of volumes on different topics. A long felt want
therefore is filed by DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews

United States in Our Own Time-187O-1903."

longer. 1t will positively be withdrawn Novem-

We have already added nearly 1000 of these

An even larger number should be obtained

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.
mo man had ever a point of pride that was not
injurious to him." said Burke. The exclusive in
fashionable life does not see that he excludes
himself from enjoyment, in the attempt to ap-
prorriate it. The exclusionists in religion does
not see that he shuts the door of heaven on him
self, in striving to shut out others. Treat men
as pawns and nine-pins, and you shall suffer as
well as they. If you leave out their heart, you
shall lose your own-From Emerson's Essay on
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-01

Once upon a time farmers boy wanted to
60 to an agricultural college, but his father OBJ
jected, because he said that all the professors
knew was book farming. But the boy was very
wise, as most boys are, and something as follows
in conversation occurred:
"Father, what you know about farming is worth
something, isn't it,"
"Why, of course, it is"
"You have learned a good many things, have
you not, father, that would be worth while for
me to knowg"
"Certainly, my boy, I can tell you a good
many things about farming"
"And Uncle Bill is a good farmer-what he
knows is worth something's O.
eyes, yes. Uncle Bill is a good, practical and
successful farmer"
"Well, father, if what you know and what
Uncle Bill knows could be printed in a book, it
would be book farming, but I do not see why
that would take any value out of it. And then
if what you and Uncle Bill knows about farm
ing were explained by men who we're farmers
themselves, and who love farming, and believe in
farming, it would be practical knowledge that
ought to help me in my farming. Is this not
true, father?"
eyes, my boy; I guess you are too much for
the old man."
And so it is. There is nothing about books and
agricultural papers, and so-called "book farming"
that is Objectionable, providing the same is prac-
ticable, common-sense, and true. A farm fact
in a book or in the paper does not take any
of its real worth away from it. There are a
great many very successful farmers, and if their
methods and the knowledge which they have
learned by hard experience could be impressed up
on the minds of young men who are just engag-
ing in farming, it would save a lot of wasted
effort and a lot of costly experience to the young
men.
There is nothing Objectionable about book
farming. The old prejudice. against agricultural
papers and agricultural books is just about dead
to-day. We are realizinn that if young farmers
and old farmers are to succeed in their chosen
work they must get facts and Information from
every source they can and use the same in their
business, just like men use experience and knowl-
edge in other professions, taking it where it can
be obtained.
Let's take our hats off to the farmer boy who
loves farm work, and who has an ambition to
make a success of farm work! Here is to the
eager, earnest farmer boy!

A Still Day in Autumn.

| love to wander through the woodlands hoary
In the soft light of an autumnal day, =
When Summer gathers up her robes of glory,
And, like a dream of beauty, glides away.
How, through each loved, familiar path she lin
Serenely smiling through the golden mist,
Tinting the wild grape with her dewy fingers
Till the cool emerald turns to amethyst;
Kindling the faint stars of the hazel, shining
To light the gloom of Autumn's moldering
, halls;
With hoary plumes the clematis entwining,
Where, DER the rock, her withered garland
falls.
Warm lights are on the sleepy uplands waning,
Beneath dark clouds along the horizon, rolled.
Till the slant sunbeams through their fringes
raining
Battle all the hills in melancholy gold.
The moist winds breathe of crisped leaves and
flowers
In the damp hollows of the woodland sown,
Mingling the freshness of autumnal showers
With spicy air from cedarn alleys blown.
Beside the brook and on the numbered meadow,
Where the yellow fern-tufts feck the faded
ground,
With folded lids beneath their palmy shadow,
The gentian mods, in dreamy slumbers bound.
Upon those soft, fringed lids the bee sits brood
ing,
Like a fond lover loath to say farewell;
Or, with shut wings, through silken folds intrud-
ing,
Creeps near her heart his drowsy tale to tell.
The little birds upon the hillside lonely
Fit noiselessly along from spray to spray.
Silent as a sweet, wandering thought, that only
Shows it's bright wings and softly glides away.
The s~centless flowers, in the warm sunlight
dreaming,
Forget to breathe their fulness of delight;
And through the tranced woods soft airs are
streaming,
Still as the dew-fall of the Summer night.
So, in my heart, a sweet, unwonted feeling
Stirs, like the wind in Oceans hollow shell,
all it's sweet chambers sadly stealing,
Yet finds no words it's mystic charm to tell.
Sarah III. Whitman.

It is generally the woman with a fine carriage

"While there's life, there's hope" is not exactly
