Land Will Never Decrease.

tffOm Inc Ilerrp lGuStlefl
When we hear of all Illinois or an
Iowa farm selling for hundred or q
hundred and fifty dollars an acre there
is always some old croaker who is sure
to say, "l.and is bound to come down"
Y es, land will come down like the old
woman kept hotel in Kansas. How
can it come down with an influx of
10000 immigrants landing in the United
State every month, say nothing of the
increase Of our own population.
lnasmuch as land is the bread produ-
Ger Of every man and beast living, its
value depends only on the demand there
is for what it will produce. Hence,
there can be no limit to the value Of
land A number Of years ago we made
the remark that we expected to live to
see the day when there would not be an
acre of decent farm land in the United
States that would not sell for fifty dol
lars. We still believe that to be true.
Show US a rich man in this or any other
state and nine times out of ten you will
! find he is a man that came into the
country and got hold Of the land while
it was cheap, and any young man today,
that will get hold OF any of the reason
able priced land in the western states
aud hold to it, cannot help becoming
wealthy. In Illinois there were many
years that land was 1T "a standstill at
about thirty or forty dollars an acre,
but the reason for this was, there were
surrounding states in all but one di
rection where you could go and get all
the free land you wanted. That time
is past and gone forever and with all
the government land taken up the ad-
vancement in the price of farm land
from this time OH must be very rapid.
i Cur advice advice .e to any say young man or old
man either, is to get some land and
hang to it. Go to work and stay at it
until you get the land paid for and then
shoot the first man that suggests a
mortgage. 1t may take several years
of hard trials and tribulations but when
you get !tand are out Of debt you are
a king. Panics may come, banks may
break, big commercial interests go to
pieces, but they can't phaze you. You
are Oil the land and it is yours and will
reward you for your labors, and you
can live if the rest of the whole world
staryes. Farm and Real Estate Jour

SEED POTATO CUTTER,
Home Made Continuance Which Will
Facilitate the Work of Prepar-
ing for Planting.

Many machines have been devised
for cutting potatoes into sections pre-
paratory to planting. However, com
paratively few of these have proved
eminently successful. In an article on
Colorado potato culture in the last
year book of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, J. Max Clark
describes a machine used in the Gree.
ley district of that state which comes
very near meeting all purposes for
which designed. The accompanying
Illustration shows how this potato
cutter may be built. Any farmer with
a mechanical turn might easily con-
struct this at home during slack hours
and thus save himself time when most
needed in the spring.
A wide bench is boxed in on both
ends and one side. 1t is divided into
two or three Compartments. these
being open in the front which CORE
spends to the side boxed in. To each
of these compartments is attached a
sack on hooks, and along one side OF
the bench in the middle of each com
partment and right over the opening
of the sack is fixed, in an upright po
sition, a shoemaker's or common
steel table knife.
Potatoes to be cut for planting are
shoveled into the compartments OF
the box and in front OF each com
partment a man takes his position
