are Intended to measure the extent of
our agricultural resources, and yet
there Is much in the annual report of
Secretary Wilson that is instructive
and impressive. During the last four
teen years, says the secretary, the
total agricultural products not fed to
live stock was valued at 1912, OOO, 900,
while the balance of foreign trade in
favor of the farmers during the same
period amounted to 81, 900, 600, 600. The

try alone has been phenomenal. In
1896 only 29.220 tons of beet sugar
were made in this country. A year
ago the total production was 10000
tons, while for this year the crop is
estimated at about 100000 tons.

as all this must have been, Mr.. Spen-
Ger was not of kind easily turned
aside. He continued to think and
write, and his great lifework stands
today the strongest kind of evidence
that the sublime faith he had in his
own ability was we'll founded. He
lived to hear the applause of the world
acclalmlng him one Of the greatest
intellectual leaders of his time.
Herbert Spencer was simple and
unostentatious to. a marked degree.
He repeatedly declined academic hon.
ors from colleges and universities, and
dtular honors which the late Queen
Victoria was willing to bestow upon
MIN In recognition of his distinguished
services to humanity.
The romantic side Of Mr.. Spencer's
life may be summed up In q few
words. He was devotedly attached to
his mother and grieved much during
her last illness. The only other wom-
an Tor whom he seemed to entertain
FEELINGS of affection was George Eliot.
Ihey were great friends and it Is said
that he was in love with her. Per-
haps the strongest evidence in support
OF that claim is the knowledge that he
was never in love with anyone else
and the fact that he never married.
IN his contributions to science Mr..
spencer has shown the workings of a
master mind; one that was clear, Wig
orous' forceful and original in it's con-
ceptions. The world of mankind is
greatly indebted for his services and

MlIionaires are prone to sing the
praises Of poverty. Having secured
themselves against want by accumulat-
ing a comfortable supply of bonds or
preferred stock, they feel impelled by
sense Of humane obligation to warn
young men against the dangers of
wealth. At the dinner of the st. An.
drew's Society at Delmonico's, New
York, Andrew Carnegie pictured the
blessings Of poverty with the master
hanu Of man who had himself felt
the pinch of penury and knew what It
was He said: THE child of the mill
ionaire cannot know what the words
rather and mother mean. Few Scotch
men have been cursed by being born
to wealth. They've been born to nov
erty." All of which Is gracious and
timely. The dangers and disadvantages
or wealth are conceded. But how is q
boy to avoid being born to wealth."
How Is he to avert the handicap of a
rich father? How can he secure to
himself the blessings and aspirations
of poverty? The steel magnate inspires
US with yearning for poverty, but
does not tell us how to attain 1t, How
are we to escape the destructive, cor
rodlng influences Of wealth? Even Mr.
carnegie has been unable to give away
libraries fast enough to bring the
blessed boon Of poverty. Efforts of rich
men to persuade their sons that they are
not rich and that they-the sons-will
have to work for a living" have sig
nally failed, except in rare instances.
where the son was not gifted with a
sufficiently imaginative temperament
to realize his opportunities. Nearly
every millionaire claims that poverty
is necessary to the development Of a
man. We must feel the stimulus Of
desire, the pinch Of want. But how Is
the precious jewel of poverty to be at
tanned? Here Is where the mlllionaires
leave US cropping in the dark.

A recent editorial gusher in New
York journal bewailed the imaginary
fact that there were no longer any old
homes on the old farms; no longer any
country life with its good cheer and
honesty; no longer any delights among
the young people on the farms; no long.
er any farms, In fact; saying that eF.
erything was swallowed up In aristoc-
racy and monopoly. 1t is common to
hear such talk from city people who
know absolutely nothing about 1t.
There Is positively not one word of
truth in such statements, as every
body knows who was raised on farm,
Home life on the farm to-day Is pleas
anter than ever before; the farmer has
more comforts than he ever had before
In his life; the young people on the
farms have more encouragement and
better opportunities, also better times,
than they ever had. Farm life is more
attractive and more profitable than it
has ever been since the discovery of
America. Pesslmists can say what they
please and bemoan the fact that times
are not what they used to be. but the
fact remains that homes were never
so happy as now. But how easy 1t is
to get up wall, saying things have all
gone to the bad since older people were
young! Such walls indicate despair
and decay, not In the world, but In the
minds of those who write them. The
world Is bright and good. The farm Is
more popular than In any of the years
gone by. The rosy-cheeked boys and
girls from the farm are just as hand
some as ever and there are plenty of
them. The farm is still the ideal place
FOR comfort, health and happiness.
