methods spracticed years age, and some
even now, are worthless. He knows
that one farmer cannot make as many
experiments as can a thousand men.
He reads books on farming and
does not scoff at the book farmer, nor
does he refuse to listen to the col
lege professors, for, while he has great
respect for the students of agriculture,

The up-to-date farmer pays his

these is the one he owes to the soil.
He knows that each crop which the
soil yields takes from it something of
its fertility and that unless this fertil-

yield only diminishing crop. Sohe
is very careful year by year to pay
back to his land that fertility which
the crop has taken from it. He
knows many ways of doing this,
and the one which he will adopt will
depend upon the neighborhood. He
knows that he can run a dairy, and

farm no more than to sell five or six
hundred pounds of straw worth about
a dollar.

longer they are in his employ the
more valuable they are to him and the
more he can afford to pay them. He

For "THE UNION y
THERE Is A HOPE.
BY GEORGE Z. TACK.

Earth's philosophers and wise men
Live their little day, and then,
Back to dust they turn, and ages
Pass, ere they shall live again.
Great men rise unto the summit
OF earth's glory and its power,
But they cannot stop the clock-stroke
OF times solemn, fateful hour.
Fools may laugh and gayly dance,
AS they fit among the flowers,
In life's dewy, fragrant gardens,
But at Deaths frost how each covers.
And the sands of life forever
Flow. like man, forever down;
And earth's hopes but grow and perish,
Like the leaves that wax so brown.
Yet there is a hope that ever,
Like the fadeless tree Of life,
Blooms all seasons for the peaceful
Dweller mid earth's din and strife.
'Tis the hope that past life's sorrows,
In the land of endless day,
We shall meet our loved departed,
And all tears be wiped away.
There. mid scenes of Joy and gladness,
We shall dwell with Him who died;
That we all might be forgiven,

WESTERN wIND-BRRAKs.

The sudden ruin that hot winds
sometimes bring to growing crops in
parts of the west is well known.
Blowing strongly across the unob.
structed plains, these winds may in a
few days blast all hope of even par.
tai harvest. This is particularly so
IN the lower portion of the central
plains and in years of unusually low
rainfall. Here the winds most to be
feared blow from the southwest or
south. III thenorthern prairie region
the farmer is exposed to the hot Chi
nook wind, which sweeps down from
the canadian mountains. This eth
er dries out growing crops or if it pre-
vaits before the danger of killing
trosts is past causes loss through urg-
Ing vegetation forward prematurely.
Cold winter winds also do great in

.fere with an even covering Of snow
upon the ground. This is true from
Canada almost to the gulf.
In southern California dry winds
from the north and northeast sweep
down from the Mohave desert with
destructive results. Coming in June,
these winds may reduce the wheat
yield of unprotected fields to almost
nothing. Windbreaks of eucalyptus
and Monterey cypress, now in such
common use to protect orange groves
and orchards, long ago convinced pos
SCISSORS of highly valuable irrigated
land of tree planting for protection
purposes.
But there are two sides to the wind
break question. Some prairie farmers
declare positively that belts of Usage
orange, for instance, are nuisance"
Others cite figures to show positive
benefit. A farmer who lives near
Downs Kan, gives his yield of corn
from field protected on the south by
a row of tall cottonwoods as six BUSH
els per acre more than in places where
there is no protection. About fifteen
acres are benefited in this way.
1t IS highly necessary that the wind |
break should occupy only sufficient |
land to Offset this benefit.
An Illinois farmer sums up his OBJ
upon this matter thus: "My
is that now, in cold and
stormy winters, wheat protected by
timber belts yield full crops, while
fields not protected yield only one
third of a crop. twenty-five or thir-
ty years ago we never had any wheat
killed by winter frosts, ard every year
a full crop of peaches, which is now
rare. At that time we had plenty of
timber around our fields and orchards,
now cleared away"
The United States forest service
proposes to find out just when and
1ow much windbTeaks increase the
yield of crops. Measurements and
.ests will be made and elaborate data
Vill be collected by experts who will

Two-Cent Passenger Rate Legislation.

The Merchants and Manufaet-
ures' Association believes that the
railroads have had sufficient pun
ishment for their methods in the
past. While the So called muck
maker has unquestionably done a
good service in opening the eyes
of the public. his service reached
its useful limit some time ago.
The day of the upbuilder and con-
struotiorist has arrived. The days
of the lnquisition have passed.
In spite of the fact that many
roads have recently gone into the
hands Of reoeivers-our own West
ern Maryland included-there has
been introduced in our legislature
a tWo-cent passenger rate bill
Even now some states. which
placed this law upon their statutes
two years ago, are seriously con-
sidering its repeal. considering it
unreasonable and unwise.
Ihs Merchants and Manufact-
urers put itself on record March 8.
when its Transportation committee
adopted the following resolution:
Believing that no advantage
can be gained without Sc iols loss

state of Maryland by the pas age
of law for the so-called two cent
per mile passenger rate; believing
that the present is most inopport-
une time to further burden the
railroad companies: being con-
vinced that the time for the up
building of common carriers has
arrived, and that the Inauguration
of a compulsory two cent per mile
fare will really exclude special
rates below two-cents per mile. be

"REsoLvED, BY the Transporter
ton committee of the Merchants
and Manufactures association at a
meeting held March 2, 1908, that
it is earnestly urged that the legis-
lature of the State of Maryland will
not favor this legislation; if the
same is brought before it that it be
defeated. The committee is ad-
vised that other states in which the
two-oent fare is in vogue are con-
templating repeating the laws re-
