Tho Farmer of the Future.

The future farmer will subirrigate
his land and defy drought as well as
floods. He will become scientific
forester, and every farm will produce
wood and lumber as well as wheat
and apples. Women will work out
doors as heartily as men-in fact, they
will be the horticulturists and the
truck gardeners. There will be closer
relation between the producer and the
consumer, ignoring a horde Of middle
men who frequently waste more than
is destroyed by ignorant help and in
sect foes combined. Under the alli-
ance with the school the farm will be
valued not only for it's gross weight
Of products, but for its poems and its
education.

A Christmas Letter.

If Santa Claus were not a myth,
AS also is his reindeer,
Today I'd be contented with
My lot and not complain, dear,
For then l might ask him to take
To you a gift that's very
Particularly apt TO make
The heart on Christmas merry.
But 1 should bid him bring to me
Precisely this same present.
A fair exchange would seem to be
Appropriate and pleasant.
So, sweetheart, in these mythless times
Since / can do no better,
A merry Christmas, with the rhymes
That lock love in my letter.

GOOD HORSES.
The Preservation Of Our Best Native
American Types.
BY GEORGE M. RoMMEL.

BY GEORGE M. RoMMEL.
Pedantic persons may express some
astonishment at the idea of looking
to breed of saddle horses for car
riage horses, but the records Of horses
with pedigrees are sufficient proof of
the claim that the American saddle
horse register contains some of our
best carriage blood and that breeders
who are using that blood judiciously
are acting wisely.
There are certain lines of breeding
found In the saddle horse register
which can be relied upon to produce
carriage horses. In Kentucky the

also felt that, although probably
nothing could wean the American
horseman from his attachment to the
standard bred horse, the most useful
characteristics Of this horse should be
preserved If it would continue to be
of high value to the farmers of the
country.

Farm Labor In New York State.

e' W @SSS' W wv" 'N'N SeeeS'
The American Agriculturist contains
brief statements from several farmers
in different parts of New York state
relating to the farm labor problem.
The general trend of the replies indi-
Gates that good farm labor is scarce,
that wages for day labor range from
$1.25 to $1.50 per day and monthly
wages from 500 to $33 with board for
ten hours work per day and that the
scarcity of work in cities is bringing
back to the farm those who were born
and brought up thereon. The encour-
agement of the immigration of farm
labor from the United Kingdom, Ger
many, Sweden and other European
countries is advocated as a remedy.

effects, shadowing the face as they do,
are really grewsome affairs. That day
she wore a directoire coat of the same

seen in the boxes. But the funniest
