Keeping Youngs Folks on Farm.

For some time past the drift OF
youths to the cities and towns from
our rural districts has been greatly
detrimental to the welfare Of those
engaged in farming pursuits, hence
the question, How can we keep the
young people on the farm? In my
opinion this question may be an
swered by saying: Give more atten-
ton to their environment. Make
home more attractive and amusing.
The reason I believe so many leave:
their country homes is in search Of
pleasure. Now, why should we not
provide some luxuries for our homes,
and thus save our young people from
the many snares encountered in civic
life?
In order that we use discretion in
our selection of home amusements. we
must first study the individual tastes
of our youth. 1t may be the purchase;
of an organ or piano may fill the bill:
from mothers side of the house.:
while the father may fulfil his duty:
by the gift of some good literature,
or perhaps a colt may cultivate a:
liking for home life. There are
many things that will suggest them
selves as we look this question in
the face. An advanced education
along agricultural lines gives US
to realize the reainess of our pro-
fession. The visit Of a good agri-
cultural weekly may tend to stimu-
late an interest for rural life. The
formation Of literary and other So
cieties gives an opportunity for the
development of social and literary
life. The Introduction of agriculture
as a study in the curriculum Of our
public schools would be of vital i'm
portance in the widening of views and.
the development of agriculture in
general. The agricultural colleges
are within the reach of most of our
boys and girls. Why should not the
rural standard be looked up to in
place Of Observation-Disclosures Agri'

Only Farmers Trust in Providence.

Farmers are the only people who
put all their trust in Providence.
The farmer not only trusts Provl-
dence for the rain and the sunshine,
but also for the price he is to get.
If there is 10 rain in Russia and a
drought in the Argentine Republic
while there is plenty Of it in North
America, the farmer OF this country
harvests a big crop and gets a good
price. If there is drought in North
America and not much rain in Rus
sia the farmer here gets q fair price
for what little he has, but If Provl-
dence favors him with plenty of rain
all over the earth he hardly makes
enough to pay for the seed he plants,
because the bulls and the bears OF
commerce eat up all Of his profits.
They bet millions Of dollars that the
price will be only fifty cents when
natural causes would let it go to a
dollar, because it is worth that to
raise it and to ship it to the places
OF Q1SIIlDuIlOu AL IuC OA1IOo oIoSSo'
Yes, the farmers trust to Providence;
but not so with the millers nor with
the shippers. They know that the
Lord helps him who helps himself,
and they know how to do that to the
queens taste. In fact, everybody
helps himself but the farmer. He
tries to follow out the Bible doctrine:
If man steals your coat give him
your pants, also. Some farmers do
that, but others are learning better.
The farmers who are organized in
the American Society Of Equity mean
to give the spectators race for
their money. They propose to set
the price on whatever they produce
and to get that price, if they have
to hold the surplus until there is a
demand. They are going to act the
part of Joseph and save up during
the fat years and during the fat
months and the fat days for the
years, and the months and the days
of leann ness.-Farmers' Home Jour-
nal.

manure is most deficient in phos-
phoric acid, it is often a good plan to
apply a moderate application OF su-
perphosphate to land where the
stable manure IS applied, or where
a sod is turned for corn. The fer
tilizer should be distributed ell
through the sell rather than applied
to the hill in order to encourage the
roots to branch out all through the.

ed as worn out. The broom sedge
was turned and 200 pounds per acre
of a good grade superphosphate
drilled in with a common drill. The:
field was put to COIN and grew a very
good crop of corn. In this part OF
the country almost any old sod field
when we'll prepared will bring a
pretty good crop Of corn with an ap-::
plication of a phosphate only. II:

tilization, but the proper plan to pur-
sue is to get such lands to grass or
clover as soon as possible and get
something to supply vegetable matter
to the soil.
By using the phosphate in connec-
ton with the stable manure the
manure can be made to go farther
and both being used together they
will give better returns than when
they are used separately.-A. J.
Legg, in The Epitomist.

IMMERSED IN BOILING
WATER, ASKS DAMAGES
Henry Notthoff Wants $4,000 from
Gas company-AIIeges Coercion
in Securing of Release
from Suit

Henry Notthoff yesterday filed suit for
$4,000 damages against the Los Angeles
Gas and Electric company, alleging that
July g. 1907, while acting in the capacity
of engineer as an employe of the corpora
tion brick slipped from under his feet
in the pump room and he fell headlong
into the sump hole, where he was i'm
1nersed in boiling water tc his waist.
The plaintiff claims that as a result of
the accident he was rendered unable 10
earn living. Notthoff is married and
has eight children dependent upon him for
support.
He alleges further that following close
upon his misfortune Claim Agent Van
Pelt, representing the gas company, on
August 20 persuaded him to sign certain
papers, which have since developed to be
an alleged release Oh the company for any
liability for damages. Notthoff says that
he never received a penny in return for
this so-called release and that because of
the excruciating agony which he suffered
his mind was so unbalanced that he could
not and did not comprehend the purport
of the instrument which he says Van
Pelr coerced him into signing.

Change of Grade and
Storm Drains

ment and Trust company ct al, asking
that the grade of Fourth street. from

lished and that a certain storm drain be
ordered constructed under the Vrooman

sary majority petition to permit the

The board of public works has recon-
mended that the petition be filed and that
