When first the new year came to towr
Appeared a baby boy
In nothing but a pair of wings
And smiles of dimpled JOY.
But, growing fast, the next decade
He wore wig with curls
And rode q fiery prancing steed
And courted all the girls.
He next arrived in coach and four,
squire in coat of blue
And snowy stock and buckled shoes
And neatly ribboned cue.
Still making progress with the times,
dandy with q cane.
Tall hat, tight waist and ruffled shirt.
He made his bow again.
Twas only one short year ago
We heard rush and Jar;
In dust and smoke before us stopped
A scarlet motor car
Forth stepped chauffeur clad in furs
And, mid the mingled din
or horns and bells, invited us
To take a twelvemonth's spin.
But now above the chimes, behold,
We listen In the night
To hear the whirling fans that bear
His aeroplane in fight!
-Minna Irving In New York Times.

reals all show very full yields; cotton
exceeded but seldom; hay short of
some recent years, but made UP in ill.,
creased value, potatoes, onions, hops,
cranberrieS. etc, full crops; apples
half etter than last years short yield.
The prices paid farmers might well be
higher In some instances, yet conSid-
ering the volume of the crops the stu
alton has often been far less satisfac-
tory than now,
More or less congestion in transpor-
tation is anticipated owing to shortage
in ears. This has somewhat interfercd
with the farmers business, yet the
crops are moving normally aud fairly
satisfactorily. The farmers balances
in bank are proportionately better than
ever before. During the year there
have been Established many farmers
national banks.
The economical evolution that has
taken place in agricultural science has
been one of steady Development Mar
yelous as the results have been. 1t
would be no great task to increase by
one-half the present corn crop and dou-
bic or even treble the production of
cotton per acre.
Important as Is the workshop. fac
tory and MILL the farm still overshad-
ows them in providing exports. The
fleets of the oceans will be loaded with

value of the agricultural products sent
abroad will exceed those of any year
in our history. Cotton will without
doubt maintain a long lead over other
products. The agricultural products
/ exported for the year ended June 80,
1906, We're valued at S916,0O0,0O0.
There is no place in the world where
Skill energy and scientific methods
count for so much rs on the farms In
the United States. The American
farmer has not been handicapped by
the traditions of centuries. as have the
farmers of the old world. Our farmers
have been hoeng their own row. With
the help OF the government and state
experts at the agricultural colleges and
| experiment stations and exchange of
practical experiences through the agr-
cultural press our farmers have ad-
vanced more rapidly in technical, spe-
citic aud practical knowledge than any
| other class Farm homes are connect

In the modern city home.
1t would be impossible to find a more
contented and happy family circle than
that around the farmers fireplace.
Modern equipment and furniture make
his the best home in the world. His
children are given better advantages
for education than ever before. In
fact. as the farmers power to purchase

dltion Of the most comfortable and

new year with a confidence that his Is

The Food For Poultry In Winter.
