THE COUNTRY HOME.

we recently passed small farm
which, according to our idea, was a
model place. The farm home was
story and half house neatly painted,
as were the fences, barns and outbuild-
ings; fences were all on straight lines,
nome yard was fenced to keep out the
pigs and chickens; there was a clean,
well arranged small fruit and vegetable
garden; the poultry was Of the White
ROCK sort, 70 should judge; anyhow,
the birds all Of one uniform color
and shov good blood; the corn in the
held Va ID adjcined the home lot was
cut up, neatly shocked and good for
slXty-flve bushels an acre; number
or Well built stacks Of small grain
were waiting the thrasher in the barn
yard; machine shed housed all the
farm tools; the name of the farm and
that OF the owner were neatly painted
on the gable end of the red barn in
stead OF some tobacco or cheap clothes
advertisement; we noted about fifty
well bred Shropshire sheep and couple
OF draft brood mares with colts out in
the pasture; the fall blowing had all
Deen done early in August, we judged
from the looks Of the fields; small
building near the house contained a
gasoline engine which pumped all the
water for the stock and the house,
shelled the corn, turned the grindstone,
ground the feed and sawed the wood.
we Old not Of course have a chance to
see what was in the house, but we will
venture that it was mighty nice place
TO live, for the vine over the porch and
the good wife shaking the tablecloth on
the steps almost invited one to enter and
feel at home. Without doubt there was
piano in the parlor and plenty of good
reading matter and at evening time as
the days toll was ended happy family
gathered around q table spread with
the best things which such farm af-
lords. There were peace and content
ment in that home or we are greatly
mistaken. 1t Is a pity such homes are
SO rare, when they might be so easily
built up on our farms. That there are
not more is because men either do not
klloW how to do it or because they are
too greedy and avaricious, ever lusting
for more acres, or because some have
no taste for nice things, and some like
liquor too well. Anyhow, the crying
need of the country is for more homes
OF this type, and having them the boys
and girls would not be crazy bent for
city life. The man who builds such a
home for himself in the country does a
patriotic act as well as contributing to
his own and his family's best interests.

HE HAD ENnuGH.

We came across a farmer friend the
other day who greatly interested us.
He was the owner Of a fine farm of
100 acres, was out Of debt and had a
nice home We found him greatly in
terested in all that pertained to the
progressive side Of his business, and
we We're particularly struck with what
he said with reference to his farm. He
said, II have land enough, and my eff
fort in the future will be to study how
to make what have more productive
He lived in the corn belt, and he had
set his mark on two things to
produce an average field of sixty five
bushels of corn to the acre one year
with another, the other to bring up his
dairy herd Of twenty-five cows to a
butter product Of 800 pounds per head.
In order to secure these results he had
established short crop ration for his
farm of corn one year, oats or barley
one year. seeding with clover one
year, then corn, while he was using a
Babcock tester on his cows and feed
ing them from silo as the two things
which would best insure the 800 pounds
of butter per COW. Now, this is not
at all an extraordinary result to aim
for, and yet it is SO far exceeds the
average results that any man who can
accomplish it surely knows great
deal which it would benefit his neigh
bors to know. Heretofore advance in
agriculture has always meant more
acres to work and not IN increase in
crop production. From now on it is
going to mean bigger and better crops
from fewer acres.

1t is probable that If no horses were
used in our cities the English sparrow
would almost wholly disappear, and
the plague Of house flies would be
greatly diminished, the sparrow find
ing his chief food supply in the drop
ping Of the horse, while the flies breed
almost entirely in the manure piles
around the horse barns, yet not these
two nuisances combined with the auto
mobile will ever compel men to get
along without the horse.

The corn root worm is each year be-

year after year with corn is the cause.
Rotation Of crops is the only remedy.

We always like to note the impress
which the Scandinavian people give to
community. It is always along right
lines. The church and the school are
always made prominent, the type Of
farming is Of the best and an air Of
thrift and prosperity is always appar
ent. These people stand for the best
things in government, in education and
religion and modern civilization. In
a word, they represent the very best
and highest type of foreign immigra-
ton which this country has ever had.

1t is pleasing to note that the maca-

this country only few years ago and
which the millers have Disseminated
against to the extent of Is or 20 cents
a bushel is this year coming to it's own
and is now worth in the wheat mar
kets almost as much as Blue Stem,
Fife or other varieties of softer wheat.
Inasmuch as this wheat can be most
successfully produced over a vast ex-
tent Of territory in what are called the
semiarid sections Of the west and
northwest, the fact that it sells at last
up with the wheat produced in other
sections becomes Of the utmost signif-
canoe and Importance.

! The crop season Of 1905 is over, and
there are for nearly every farmer lot
Of experiences which it will pay him
well to consider. Some lessons have
been learned which are we'll worth re-
membering. One which suggests itself
as of more than ordinary Importance
is that the year has shown that good
crop Of corn cannot be expected from
60 per cent stand Of corn and that
corn with wet feet in June and July
will not produce more than half a crop.

About the only butchering there is
now done on the farms is the behead-
ing and dressing of the ROSTERS when
the presiding elder comes or there is a
quarterly meeting in town or chicken
pie social on deck to raise the parsons
salary. All meat products now leave
the farm alive even to the poultry, and,
while this new method has relieved the
home folks Of good deal of work,
there is in way distinct loss, for the
truth is it is simply impossible to Sc
cure the fine smoked and sailed meats
which in the old days used to be cured
on the farm. The biggest fool trick to
be seen on the farm today is the selling
Of meat on the hoof and the buying
back Of hams, bacon and porterhouse
steak.

A farmer was complaining to city
butcher that the margin between what
he received for his cattle and what the
butcher received for the meat was al
together too much. Just then a lady
came into the shop and after looking
over the meats ordered half pound Of
steak which she instructed the butcher
to send up to her house at once. as she
wanted it for dinner. AS soon as the
delivery wagon returned, of it went
again to deliver this woman's little
package of meat The farmer INQUIRED
II that was the way business was done
and was told by the butcher that it
was; that the lady in question was go
Ing right home when she left the shop,
but that society would taboo her if she
were detected in carrying home her
purchase. The farmer concluded that
the margin was not much out of the
way after all ard said something about
city people being some kind Of fools.

One can secure a windbreak more
quickly from willows than from any
other tree. Four years growth from
the cuttings will make quite a protec-
ton around the prairie homestead. The
soft maple is the next best quick grow
ing tree fer this purpose and possesses
the real merit Of enduring thick plant
ing better than any other tree which
we know Of. Ten acres planted in these
two varieties is a good investment on
any prairie farm. Such a grove not
only tempers the force of the fierce
winter winds, but saves fodder, affords
shade in summer and an ample supply
Of pretty good fuel besides poles and
wood for score Of farm uses. If we
We're going to open up another piece Of
raw prairie, the first thing we would
do would be to plant out such a ten
acre grove, preferably locating it on
the north and west Of the homestead.

CHINESE EASTERN RAILWAY.
It's Relation to Russia and Peace Set
tlement Discussed

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., August 16-AleX-
andre Briant chaninoff correspondent of the
ST. Petersburg SlOvo. writing on the Ques-
tions involved in the surrender Of the East
ern Chinese railway, which is being consid-
cred by the peace conference today, and
also regarding the general question of the
restoration of Chinese sovereignty In the
province, says
notwithstanding the secrecy strictly
observed regarding the discussion of the
peace conference, it is now known that the
second article discussed concerned the ques-
ton of returning Manchuria to China, and
that the article has been agreed upon. SO
ii is understood that Manchuria Is going to
be restored under the charming administra-
ton of China. For fear of Russia S enlarge
ment she has been prevented from Complet-
ing her work of civilization in that province,
where She spent millions of Russian roubles,
retaining in return only unpleasant mem
ories and now they say that 1t Is better TO
give Manchuria to nobody than to Russia.
for to return Manchuria to China means to
return that province to the state of barbar-
ism.
1T is however, asked II even the railroad
which cuts that province in three portions,
and which should be an instrument OF clVl-
>lZatiOn and of development OF her rlcheS,
will be abandoned to Chinese neglect. With
regard to the Harbin-Liaotung railway line
the institution of a Chinese administration
can be understood. AS this line has no
strategic legitimate value except for China
But it is quite different with the line unit
ing Vladivostok to Russia, which 1t is I'M
possible for the Muscovite empire, because
of its strategic value, to make dependent
upon Chinese administration.
Technical researches have shown the
enormous difficulty of uniting Nladivostok
and Port Arthur with Europe around the
Amur So the civilized world welcomed the
decision of Russia to build railway
through Manchuria. Russia made this i'm
mense effort which, considering the policy
of the open door will be of great and equal
advantage to the commerce of the whole
world.
1T is therefore just that Russia should
have the material guaranty that that rail-
way line should not run the least risk OF
being destroyed cut by the brigands, or
that it should suffer in case of a miSunder-
standing with China The commerce of the
world will gain very much If Japan should
be intrusted with the guarding of the south
ern railway line and Russia with the pro-
lection of the north line, mutually pledging
themselves to follow the policy of the open
door in the whole province.

PEACE TERMS COM MENT
OPTIMISTIC FEELING AT PARIS
OVER PROSPECTS.

PARIS August 16.--Well-informed circles
here display optimism relative to the out
come of the peace conference, and general
satisfaction Is being expressed with the
progress already made. Although the fund
amental questions including the payment
of the japanese war expenses and cesslon
of the siland of Sakhalin, have not yet
been reached, the rapidity with which the
minor points have been settled leads to the
gelief that the conference will eventually
fulfill the desire of President Roosevelt, ex
pressed when he introduced the plenipoten-
tiaries on the Mayhower, for Just and
lasting peace"
1t is pointed out that the intercourse be
tween NJ. Witte and Baron komura during
the exchange of views regarding those con-
Gitons which are already accomplished
facts owing 20 tie effects of the military
and naval operations cannot fail TO induce
the plenipotentiaries to approach the more
serious matters with more anicable feel
ings and greater readiness to offer mutual
concessions.
NJ. Whites statement. in the course of an
interview, to the effect that the Korean
ques don would possibly evoke future trou-
bic with European powers having interests
there caused a Slight stir. The French gov
crnment is not likely, however, to express
an opinion on the subject until the full ef
feet of the Japanese protectorate becomes
known. When the peace treaty has been
finally ratified and its terms officially com
muncated, France will doubtless take
steps to protect its interests.
The bourse exhibits strong optimistic
spirit regarding the fact that the nego-
tiations were not Interrupted when the Rus
sian reply was presented as evidence that
the conference is likely to terminate with
the signing of a treaty.
Commenting upon the results so far at
tanned by the conference the Temps says:
"All who believe that peace is necessary
to both Russia and Japan, and that the
whole world can only gain by the per
manent disappearance of the cause of con
h;Ct and the danger to the general peace
must rejoice at the excellent disposition
shown. All difficulties have not yet been
overcome. but both sides display desire
to approach them with good will"
