Back Of the house, on three sides of

is cottage, built for the purpose, with
a commodious dining room and a generous
and well-equipped kitchen. In the living
rooms Of this cottage are established the
most valuable and intelligent man on the
place, his wife and two buxom daughters,
who provide the meals, and for that pur-
pose have access to the gardens, the dairy
and the provision closets, which furnish
the farmer himself. The farmer does not

he aims to keep enough men to Danish the

Mixing up classes of people never makes

you cannot make men equal by giving

grew well in one patch and poorly in
another. But these partial failures only
stimulated the book farmers passion for
inquiry He found that In some of his
fields the soil was devoid of "bumus," or
plant-feed, and needed green manuring,
and that In others 1t needed lime. Through
the failure of his alfalfa he learned what
some farmers may go through life with
out Iearning-that the whole seasons
profits may be swept away by poor seed.
He took the trouble to write to the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington
and forwarded a little bag of his alfalfa
seed for examination. The report showed
that the portion of the seed which was
alfalfa was dead seed and that portion
which was not was "dodder," an adulter-
ant The Department advised him that
tons of dodder were being annually i'm
ported by the seed merchants for the
sole purpose of adulterating alfalfa, and
that the only good alfalfa seed was bright
green and yellow. Brown seed was dead
seed and the numerous attempts to grow
alfalfa In the East, which had been aban-
doned In encouragement, were not fair
trials, as out of ten samples purchased at
random in the market the Departmental
analysis found only two In which there
was a 10 per cent of live alfalfa seed

Farmers are born, not made. They
may be born on farm and they may not.
Wherever they are born, sooner or later
they get back to the land. The land calls
them as a mother her children. They are
haunted and oppressed by the conviction
that their lives are incomplete, unful-
filed, unsatisfed, until they can see the
black soil curling away from the pillow or
look down into the heart of a stalk of
growing corn for the silently gathered
pearl Of dew.
There is scarcely man living his life
among piles of brick and stone who has
not at the bottom of his heart a land
hunger. Man is a land animal, and when
ever he gets too far from the soil he
suffers for 1t. There is no art, no refine
ment of living, that can satisfy the nor-
NAL man when it is purchased at the
price of isolation from the lhomely things
Of nature.
There is today In America a mighty
impulse toward decentralization. Ameri-
cans are coming to see that there Is
something positively abnormal about our
overcrowded cities. and. although Few
philanthropically inclined among them are
willing to charge themselves with the
task of ameliorating, or attempting to
ameliorate city conditions. most are con-
tent to run away from the problem OF
oyercrowding by running away from the
city. which presents 1t. But when they
reach the country they face another prob
Iem-the problem of making the farm an
swer to the demands of personal comfort
and convenience, which familiarity with
the city has made Imperative. IL one
cannot keep q servant In the city because
the isolated conditions of the house-serv-
ants avocation defeat the gregarious In
stincts, what is one to DO on farm,
where, when the dark comes on. one is
defrauded of even the lights and the hoof-
beats on the asphalt?
Less than an hour out Of New York
there is farm upon which some OF the
problems have been solved and others are
In process of solution. Upon this Iarm
there is born farmer--who was not born

To Prevent False Alarms of Fire.

Because so many false alarms of fire
have been turned in from box -424, situated
at list and X streets southwest, the police
and fire departments have concurred In
recommending that the key TO this box be
placed in gas Office near by. This step, it
Is thought, will save many unnecessary
runs to the southern part of the city.
Lieut.. Mathews of the fourth police pro
cinct made an investigation of false alarms
sounded from this box on December 81,
1905, at 1905 am, and on January 4, 1906,
at 7:15 pm, and reported that he was I'M
able to discover the person who put the
fire department to such great annoyance.
Incidentally he recommended that the key
be removed from the box, and an order 10
this effect was issued by the Commission
