A New Style In Agriculture.

Farms are SOOu Tor other things be-
sides raising potatoes, corn and cab
bages On American farms we have
raised a large crop of presidents.
About all Of them were country boys
except Roosevelt, and he made up by
becoming a cowboy
A farm is also a good place to raise
Joy, honesty, contentment and the sim
pie life. Since | acquired a side hill
of my own | have been not only cul
tivating these, but have also grown
crop of tan, mosquito welts and en-
thusiasm. Later plan to raise straw
berries, grapes, apples, hens, a mort
gage and some goats. l have already
harvested large yield of anticipations
about what L am going to harvest in
future.
The particular piece of real estate
on which | now have the privilege Of
paying interest and taxes consists of
twelve acres. In consequence I con-
template a book ON Twelve Acres
Enough" The only reason the title
will not be Fifteen Acres Enough or
Twenty Acres Enough" is because
there is not that much land in this
place. l have observed that most men
think the world should be regulated by
their own regulating machines and
measured by their measuring sticks.
There are more sour grape philos-
ophers in this world than is generally
admitted. A whole lot of people are
proud of what they haven't got. That
Is on a par with folks putting on airs
over having had what they didn't
want The most conspicuous case of
this on record was an exclusive social
set composed of those who had sur
yived smallpox. And how those folks
did look down on the poor unfortu-
mates who had not been thus distin-
guished! They even shifted at vari-
oloid victims. 1t was like a boy who
is proud of a stone bruise. There was
no wild rush of outsiders, however,
who sought to make themselves eligi
BILE to membership in the smallpox
club
To be perfectly frank, do not know
how much land is enough for one man,
and is satisfied with. Anyway, the
question is not up to me, and 1 refuse
to decide It. / am not going to write
that book after all Instead I propose
to become author of a work entitled
zones Own Affairs Enough" 1t is
none of my business whether the other
fellow owns twelve acres or twelve
thousand.
This farming proposition is fine. Out
here a man can not only eat his
own vegetables, but think his own
thoughts. Moreover, he is master Of
his own time, having no boss except
his wife The only thorn in the flesh
is the New York Central railroad.
That is too modern and citified for q
strictly rural effect, besides being too
though his Satanic majesty should
disturb paradise by making a frequent
noise like shoveling coal.
This is not much of a farming sec
ton, but has plenty of scenery and
history. Every morning l can hear
the drums and guns at West Point,
where the shoulder strap blossoms
and they raise crops Of men for the
harvest of war Within sight three
poets wrote-Morris, Willis and Drake
but they are all dead. All the great
poets are dead. A poet never gets to
be great till after he dies, and some
not even then.

Getting the Spirit of the Builders.

When | came to the triangular sec
ton of rocks, Stumps, underbrush and
American dirt that is now in my wife's
name l found on it a house of uncer-
tain age and still more uncertain floor
levels. It was assuredly the original
Of the nursery rhyme:
There was a crooked man
That went a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence
Against a crooked stile,
He bought a crooked cat
That caught a crooked mouse.
And they all lived together
In little crooked house.
Oh. the dirt we took out of that
house, There was dirt in the closets,
dirt under the stairs, dirt on the floors,
dirt In the cellar, dirt in the attic, dirt
on the walls, dirt in the kitchen, dirt
In the cupboards, dirt in the Outhouses,
on the lawns, dirt everywhere, barrels
upon barrels Of dirt, all kinds of dirt
from mountains of tin cans TO hills OF
miscellaneous, unclassifed, composite
and plebeian dirt.
The porches were covered with dirt.
They were denuded of banisters and
had boards out of the floors. The
kitchens and washroom had part OF
the floors rotted out and were other
wise in discouraged condition. The
paper was off the walls, the plaster
was full Of holes, the roofs leaked, and
everything was as it should not be.
We went to work. We found the
leaks in the roof were confined to Il
fat portion. Some new roofing paper
covered with paint fixed that to perfec-
ton. Plenty of soap and water, a lit
tie plaster, two or three kinds Of paint
and two or three more kinds of wall
paper rehabilitated the inside AS for
the dirt it was carted out by the barrel

Dairy School Opens With Large
Glasses.

With a total registration of 12S
students. and more entering daily,
the dairy school of the University Of
Wisconsin, which opened last week,
has an enrolment which compares
favorably with previous years. Some
43 students are studying cheese max
ing, Is butter making, and 19 are
taking both courses. The class is
unusual in that II students are from
other states, notwithstanding the
extra tuition fees for non-residents.
There are two each from Pennsyl-
vania. Ohio, and Indiana; and l each
from Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska,
and Mississippi. r. r. WEIGH, a
graduate of another agricultural col
lege and for some time junior dairy
man for the L. S. Department of
Agriculture in the south is here, on
leave or absence, to better lit himself
for his work.
Some new equipment, including
combined churns, milk heaters, and
hand separators, is being installed to
afford facilities for student practice.
The cream and milk supply has been
increased by new routes at Middleton
and Fitchburg, in order to provide
adequate material for student work.
Cheesemakiug will begin earlier in
the course than formerly, and the
instruction in preparation of starters
has been improved. Students will
have an opportunity this year of at
tending the scoring exhibitions, thus
getting a good idea OF the quality of
butter and cheese produced in the
state.

The Object of Life.

What is the object of life? ''Happi-
ness" says one. Love" signs anoth-
er. ITO do good" beams a third. ''To
gain wealth." pants a fourth. ''To
achieve fame" shouts a fifth ITO
find heaven" breathes a last. Each
of these is good when rightly under
stood, and each has it's place. But
there is one thing more. 1t is to grow,
to expand, to climb, to OvercOme-in a
word, evolution. God sOws his image
in each of us, and we grow and evolve
until this comes to flower and fruit in
the individual character. This is the
object of life. 1t runs through all ma
ture. 1t animates the universe. 1t is
the divine law. That which does not
progress dies. There is no happiness
greater than that OF conscious improve
ment and embodiment, than that of be-
coming stronger, wiser and better.
This is the lesson taught us by the
growing and blossoming world.

was wrecked fifteen miles south of
Wolsey early Tuesday morning. The
train was hauled by a double header
and the accident was caused by the
loosening of the draw bar of thefront
engine. The train was derailed and
pulled twelve cars of cattle into the
ditch, killing thirty head.
Engineer Burns was pinned between
the reverse lever and some other
machinery, the engine turned COM
pletely over, subjecting him to severe
scalding and other injuries. The
levers and parts of the engine which
bound him were sawed away and he
was liberated from his bonds, but eX-
pired ten hours later.
