er, or of your neighbor. That is as
foolish as for a violet to try to be
like rose, or for daisy to ape sun
flower. Nature has given each pecu-
liar equipment for its purpose. Every
man is born to do a certain work In
an original way. If he tries to copy
some other man, or to do some other
mans work, he will be an abortion, a
mistit, failure.
Do not initiate even your heroes.
Scores of young clergymen attempted
to make their reputa tions by initiating
Beecher. They copied his voice and
conversation, and initiated his gestures
and his habits, but they fell as far
short OF the great mans power as the
chrome falls short of the masterpiece.
Where are those hundreds of imitators
now? Not one of them has ever made
any stir in the wOrld.-OriSOn SWEET

The record for September of the Min
nesota Bureau of Grain Inspection broke
a record, the number Of cars inspected
being almost double the number inspect-
ed in September last year. The figures
show the total number of cars inspected
at 2S,765. while the number for the cor.
responding time last year was 1o.576 cars
The largest individual day was Sept. 20.
when loo cars were inspected. The de-
partment attributes the excellent record
TO the good roads of the country this
year, early movements of grain and ton
market prices.

A Man AsIeeD,

BILE way in Everybody's. l looked at
him and gave vent to just few mus

asleep in such a way, might shut his
mouth and keep the wind away"
man asleep is certainly a sight to
make angels weep. What good is all
his brain. muscle, backing. nerve, in
fuence, and family connections? He's
at the mercy of his enemies, and more
so of his friends And he's about as
beautiful as a cab-horse leaning against
the Metropolitan Opera House at 12 80

bia. Now, woman asleep you regard
as different No matter how she looks.
you know it's better for all hands for
her to be that way.

To Kill Quack Grass,

Quack grass is sometimes known as
Johnson grass, and also by other
names. 1t is useless to attempt to get
rid Of it after the land has been plant
ed to crop. Now is good time to
consider fighting it. Pow the land late
In the fall. just before winter begins.
Plow just deep enough to get under the
roots, leaving as much of them as pos
sible exposed to the frost of winter
These exposed roots will be destroyed.
In the spring harrow or rake over the
roots repeatedly, doing the work over
and over again until almost every root
is removed, and then plant the soil to
potatoes or corn and give thorough cu.

From the figures Of report by the
bureau of labor there has been ex.
tracted the interesting fact that sale
prices of nearly everything reached a
higher level last year than at any time
during the last eighteen years, and the
| farm produce leads all the rest
The bureau divides the 25S commod-
tiles Of the country into nine groups
and farm produce showed the highest
increase in price attained by any Of
the groups. And the encouraging feat
ure of the report is that the panic OF
stuff very much. In fact taking every
thing sOld the farmer got more money
in 1907 than the average Of ten years
before.
Som farmers may not know this, but
1t is true, because Mr.. Powderly's bu-
reau says so. Aside from the musty
figures Of a departmental report, the
fact Is evident that the farmers of this
country are more prosperous than they
have ever been. 1t Is shown in better
houses, bigger barns. fatter bank ac-
counts, fewer mortgages, better ma
chnery, and, more important than any
thing else, higher standard Of living
for the family.
There is one small fly in the oint-
ment, however, and that is the fact
that while farm produce has been rails
ing in price, clothing implements, lum-
Der and building materials, house fur
nishing goods and some other things
farmers must buy have gone up, too.
But as these commodities have not
kept pace with the advance in the
price of things the farmers have to sell
they may on the whole feel that they |
are gaining ground and that agricul- |
ture is not to be despised.

Conflicting Evidence,

A learned judge was explaining tho
fntricacies of evidence to young
friend. says the Washington Star, and
gave the following story in regard to
conflicting evidence.
Usually, he said, one statement is far
more probable than the other. so that
we can decide easily which to believe.
1t is like the boy and the house-hunter.
The house hunter, getting off train at
a suburban station, said to a boy:
My lad, l am looking for Mr.. Smith.
sons new block of semi-detached
houses. How far are they from here?"
About twenty minutes walk" the
boy replied.
Twenty minutes exclaimed the
house-hunter. Nonsense, The adver-
tisement says five

me or you can believe the advertise
ment, but | amt tryin' to make sale"

The Rural Home.

So important has agriculture becom,
to the nations prosperity that Presi
dent Roosevelt recently appointed 6
commission to suggest means to make
the rural home more attractive and as
slst in keeping young men on the farm
Many of the conveniences that ado
comfort to city home could be in
stalled In the country residence.
The farmer possesses an advantage
over the majority Of residents in cities
IN that he owns his own home and is
nominally the dictator of his surround
1ngs, In cities dwelers are crowded
into apartment buildings for the want
of space for private residences and to
secure economy in living expenses. The
owners of apartment houses have in
stalled steam heat porcelain bath fix
lures, gas stoves, electric lights and
maintain the apartments at great ex-
penSe on account of the costly fixtures
ana the frequency of repairs. The ten
ant forms no attachment to his home
ana is ready to change his residence
When other apartments are discovered
that more fully suit his fancy
In the country the rural home Is
permanent and all its improvements
are consummated with view to the
future as well as the present genera
tlon. In no other profession does the
home dweller enjoy the work of his
hands as in agriculture. If man is
what he makes himself, so the rural
home reflects the owners idea of beau
ty and convenience. With the land pro-
duclng increased crops and agriculture
al products selling at record prices the
farmer can afford to adOrn his home
ana improve it with many modern and
appointments.
1he water supply may come from
shallow, inconyeniently located well
ana the supply may be contaminated |
by surface seepage containing the mi
crobes of typhoid fever and other dis
Eases. The water supply is the great
source of health, cleanliness and con-
'enience on the farm. Tubular wells
ire permanent and Of cheap cOnstruc-
ion and their depth furnishes living
water free from germ diseases. With
windmill and tank the water can be
'iped into the house at small expense

Grasses EVERYWHERE.

Grasses are widely distributed. We
usually think of them as existing in
our temperate zones only, because here
we have the perennial pastures and
meadows. They are, however, to be
found so far north that the soil is
frozen under them during the greater
part of the year, while they are also
common to parts of the South where
the frost is never known. Even the
mountain tops that are clothed with
perpetual snow have just below the
snow line their carpets Of poas that
grow and bloom through a brief period
every year. The grasses push hard
against the eternal SHOWS.
