Corn Is King.
Corn is king, according to the secre-
tary. 1t is the chief crop of the United
States, whether measured in money
value or in variety of service per-
formed. The value of the 1907 crop
is twentysix per cent greater than the
average for the past five years. The
next best crop, from a financial point
of view, is hay although it may be
mat the final estimate will give second
place to cotton, which is coming
strong. Cotton raised in 1907 is valued
at S675,OOO,0 600, and it is the most valu-
able cotton crop ever produced in the
country. The wheat crop for the year
is valued at $500,000,0OO, which is five
and one-half per cent more than the
average for the last five years.
Other crops have also done well.
Thus the alfalfa crop amounted to

syrup brought in almost as much more.
Oats, $360O00,000. Potatoes, $3.50 ,OOO.-

THE HOME OWNER.

No one has described the feeling OF
a man who GOWNS a place" more &C
curately than Edward Everett when he
writes:
The man who stands upon his own
soil, who feels that, by the law or the
land in which he lives, he is the right
~ful and exclusive owner OF the lana
which he tills, feels more strongly
than another the character OF a man
as the lord of an inanimate world. VI
this great and wonderful sphere,
which, fashioned by the hand OF God,
and upheld by His power, is rolling
through the heavens, a part is his
his from the center to the sky! 1t is
the space on which the generation
moved in it's round of duties, and he
feels himself connected by visible
link with those who follow him, and to
whom he is to transmit home.
Perhaps his farm has come down TO
him from his fathers. They have gone
to their last home; but he can trace
their footsteps over the scenes OF MS
daily labors. The roof which shelters
him was reared by those to whom ne
owes his being Some interesting 40
nestle tradition is connected with
every Enclosure. The favorlte fruit
tree was planted by his fathers hand.
He sported in boyhood beside the
brook which still winds through the
meadow. Through the field lies the
path to the village school OF earlier
days. He still hears from the window
the voice of the Sabbath-bell, which
called his fathers to the house OF God;
and near at hand is the spot where his
parents lay down to rest, and where,
when his time has come, he shall be
laid by his children.
These are the feelings of the own
ers of the soil. Words cannot paint
them-gold cannot buy them; they.
flow out of the deepest fountains OF
the heart; they are the very life-sprlng
of a fresh, healthy and generous ma
tional character.

The wick can be turned as high or as
low as possible without danger. But
perhaps the most desirable feature OF all
is it's convenience. The Perfection on
Heater can be easily carried to any part
of the house where more heat is re-
quired. 1t may be a cold bedroom,
chilly hallway, a sick-room. or you
can use it to heat the bathroom While
YOU take your morning bath-then
dress by it-and then carry 1T to the
dining room and eat your breakfast in
comfort The occasions on which 1t can
be called into use are numerous-and
once YOU have tried the Perfection Oh
Heater you'll wonder why you ever
struggled through a cold winter without
one Another advantage is the smoke
less burner, which prevents any OF the
unpleasantness that perhaps has given
YOU a poor idea of oil heaters in general.
It is very handsome in appearance ana
is beautifully finished in nickel and ia
pan.
Another home comfort for the long
winter evenings is the Rayo Lamp,
which can be used in any room in the
house-from parlor to bedroom 1t has
the latest improved burner, making 1t
unusually safe and clean, and an ideal
lamp for all round household use.
The Perfection Oil Heater and the
Rayo Lamp, combining as they do to
make the house warm and cheerful, are
valuable additions to any home, and no
household should be without them They
are sold at a moderate price by dealers
everywhere.

THE OLD WOODEN PUMP.

The Old-fashioned we'll sweep with us
"old oaken bucket" is a thing of the
past, but on many farms one still finds
wooden pumps : squeaking, wheezins
cranky affairs that are out of order
half the time.
No up-to-date farmer should be salts
fled with wooden pumps. The pump is
in such constant use that 1T should be
of the very latest design and without a
silver of wood in it anywhere.
A high-grade iron pump practically
never wears out, and may almost be SAID
to improve with age. The best pump to
buy is one with a glass valve. Well
pumps, power pumps, spray pumps and
tank pumps thus equipped can be pur-
chased of any hardware or implement
dealer.
Wooden pumps soon rot and become
unsanitary. If you are thinking of buy
ing pumps, think twice before you put
any money in a wooden one. Get the
best iron pump you can find and it will
prove source of satisfaction as well as
pure water.

portions of the stumps and logs which
are left on the land can be sawed up

Der. The farmer with one of these
mills can not only provide all OF the
lumber necessary for his house, barns,
chicken yards, etc., but can also man
age to secure large amounts of addi-
tional lumber from his lands which he
can market to good advantage and
thus defray the expense of clearing
his land and starting his farm. For
this purpose the Hedges Eureka Port

Northwest and will be glad to furnish
full information, and to quote prices

IMMENSE FARM REDUCTION.

Great is the American farmer! Dur
ing the past year he has raised ST.
412,000,000 worth of farm produce. A
large share of this has been sold, ST.
000,000,000 worth of it abroad, and
the money placed in the banks all over
the country. Then these banks, at
tracted by the interest rates in New
York. have sent the money there and
it has been loaned out on securities
which have since faded in value.
The figures about the farmers cited
are from Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson's annual report, which
has just been made public. The re-
port has other statements revealing
with equal eloquence the desirability
of the farmer as citizen, but offering
no arguments in favor of the desira-
bility of the stock gambler.

of the United States produced in 1907

PORTABLE SAWMILLS FOR FARM

Back in the East and Middle West
it might seem ridiculous to try and sell
