Not Enough to Hurt.

DR.. Wallace Wood, of the University
of New York, was talking about the love
of beauty, says the New York Tribune.
"The love of beauty" he said, ''is not
SO firmly planted in the peoples minds as
it should be. Things only that are useful
are considered valuable, beautiful things
too often are regarded as unimportant.
s'This popular idea of the usefuls un-
speakable superiority over the merely
beautiful may be illustrated by a happen.
ing in barber shop.
"A barber, in cutting a young mans
hair, shipped off piece of his ear.
"The young man leaped from the chair.
He cried in anguish and horror:
"sOh! you have cut piece OF my ear
Off
"But the barber answered in a patron
izing, soothing way, as one speaks to q
child:
assho Don't carry on SO, boss. 'Taint
'nuff to affect yo' hearin.'

FARM WEALTH.
Colossal Values Of Our Farm Products for the
Year 1904.

After reading the government statistics
of fthe value of American farm products
for the year just past one is certain to De
strikingly impressed with the colossal
wealth of American agriculture and It's
profitable diversity as well.
The twelve principal articles of farm
produce had market value at the place
of production on December l estimated
BY the department of agriculture at the
enormous total of $s,7s4, ,s6s,7o2 and the
bumper cotton crop is excluded from the
estimate. This is $500, ,s76 1886 more than
the yield of 1908, and sl76,s6s,s86 more
than the yield of 1902, which was ae-
counted "bumper' year, breaking al
previous records of production.
OF the cereals, wheat alone is short,
which is only relative expression, for
the wheat crop is enormous. The final
estimate falls due 50, ,0o0, 600 bushels below
thegreat yield of last season. Our wheat
exports this year are some o4,Ooo,ooo
bushels less than up to q corresponding
date last year, but we are using more
wheat at home than last year. With q
500,OOO,0oO bushel wheat crop bread
ought not to be high in the United States,
and but for miller's trust it would not
be high.
The corn crop seems to be running Q
close race with the cotton crop for redun-
darcy. :. The final figures are set down at
$500, ,O00, 600 bushels, which indicates a
record yield.
1t remains to be seen whether this plen-
titude of agricultural production will ma.
terially affect the excessively high cost OF
living. If there is anything in the law
of fsupply and demand. it will. lit does
not, producers and consumers will know
that the middlemen and the spectators
are making rich hauls. .-Ex.
