THE BIGGEST PROBLEM.

The biggest problem In this country
and the one which more people are
trying to solve than any other Is
how to keep and care for family, on
the high plane Of an American civiliza-
ton on an income for the breadwinner
Of the family of from $3.50 to $500 per
annum. Decent food and clothing
must be provided and the children
must be educated and all the long list
of setbacks In the shape of layoffs,
sickness, accidents and human misfor-
tunes be considered. 1t Is well nigh
impossible for man so situated to
ever get ahead financially enough so
that living for him will be an easier
problem to solve. Hundreds of thou
sands Of men of this class gave up
trying to better their condition long
ago. They accept the limitations of
their lot 1t is little less than crime
for man so situated to burden him.
self with large family, and he should
never have more than two children,
but we too often find him with six
or more A pathetic feature connect
ed with this class Is that II they ever
do get into debt II Is almost impossible
for them to get out, with the result
that when their credit Is gone their
ambition goes with 1t. There is only
just one ray Of hope and light for this
class, and that lies in connecting their
living and their work with small
piece Of land. An acre well titled will
do wonders in helping to support the
family, and IL COW, a pig and some
chickens can be associated with the
acre of land 1t will In time become pos
sible to get out Of the wilderness of
despair and encouragement into the
promised land. Given these accesso-
ries, the wife and children can do not
a little to increase the family income.
Nothing would tempt US to undertake
the burden Of maintaining family on
a wage of $500 to $500 per year unless
1t could be done In connection with the
cooperation Of piece Of land

THE DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.

The distribution of seeds Is one Of
the most interesting studies connected
with plant life. Nearly every kind Of
seed Of plant, shrub or tree has some
special manner of distribution pro-
vided for 1t under natural conditions
while with mans occupancy Of the
land new and greatly increased meth
DDS OF seed distribution are provided.
We mention a few. There are the
all Of the numerous bur family, at

nestle animals and the clothing Of

fruits and many Of our berries, which,
eaten by birds and the seeds being I'M

chinery, are scattered far and wide,
which explains why 1t Is that when a
tree springs up In some open place
there soon follows a great variety of
other forms Of tree life, such as haws,
wild plums, red and black cherries,
chokecherrfes, raspberries and black
berries, while the squirrel, noting the

are the seeds which are voyagers In
the air, the vagrant fugitives which
are the sport of the winds, all provided
with some queer sort Of aerial harness
that enables the irresponsible breezes
to drift them here and there and every
where; then we have the rollers and
tumblers, quite large family, which
includes the Russian thistle, the tumble

big timber section Is bisected with the
trails Of the old lumberman, along
which timothy, clover and other cult
waited grasses have been distributed I'M
til the land Is being taken possession
of by them. Many seeds are distribut-
ed by the material used In packing
goods for shipment, and In this man
ner the Canada thistle has been and is
being introduced into the west from
the east in rye straw grown on thistle

ADVANTAGE OF DRAINING.

The present season affords, in the
west at least, remarkable object les
son in the value Of tile drainage for
wet farms. Side by side may be seen
cornfields, the one on well drained
land, the other taking its chance with
the soil undrained, the one burdened
with magnificent crop, NE other gel
low and spindly, promising no satisfac-
tory return whatever. The difference
in the value of these two crops just
about represents the cost Of tile drain
ing the land. 1t is almost needless to
say that no business is being so over.

the owner of good farm contiguous

all the advantages Of municipal life

Optimistic predictions Of crop pro-
duetion should be discouraged. There
is nothing to be gained by them, and
1t is probably true that the markets
are to some extent unfavorably i'm
pressed by them. Crops are far more
frequently overestimated than under
estimat ted.

Good farming may be said to be the
raising Of profitable crop from the
soil and the leaving Of the soil in a
better condition for another crop than
1t was before. This Is a pretty high
mark to aim for, but men are doing
this very thing all the time, their farms
constantly growing richer and more
productive.

never get over 1t. We noted dozen In

separator calves which were having
about the same sort Of chance In life
that poor little Oliver Twist had at

pie rule to follow to raise good calf
where the butter is wanted from the
cows Is full milk for two weeks, TAPER
ing off on to skim milk during the neat
two weeks and careful, fortifying of
the skim milk with cornmeal to replace
the butter fat extracted; then all the
