Fhs Rural Home.

"a
So important has agriculture become
to The nations prosperity that Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently appointed a
commission to suggest means to make
the rural home more attractive and as
sist IN keeping young men on the farm.
Many Of the conveniences that add
confert to a 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 own his own home and is
nomiRally the dictator Of his surround
ings. In cities jewellers are crowded
Int 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
and the frequency of repairs. The ten
ant forms no attachment to his home
and Is ready to change his residence
when other apartments are discovered
that more fully suit his fancy.
In the country the rural home ID
permanent and all Its improvements
are cOnsummated with a view to the
future as well as the present genera
tion. 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-
ducing increased crops and %agricultur-
al products selling at record prices the
farmer can afford to adorn his hons
and improve it with many modern and
sanitary appointments.
The water supply may come from a
shallow. inconveniently located well
and 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
~venience on the farm. Tubular wells
are permanent and of cheap eonstruc-
tion and their depth furnishes living
water free from germ diseases. With
a windmill and tank the water can be
piped into the house at small expense
and a supply furnished at all times by
turning the faucet. A hot-water heat
e. car be attached to the stove and
hot water provided without additional
expense for fuel.
With ample grounds a beautiful
lawn could easily be arranged with
ornamental trees. flowers and shrub
berry that would o~utr.val the homes of
city jewellers. With the installation of
modern conveniences at small expense
rural homes can be made ideal. for
comfort and thus stimulate content
ment among the younger generation to
follow the greatest of all professions.

s~0uc rr1ces GOAn8 Higher.
From the figures of a report by tho
bureau of labor there has been ex-
tracted the interesting fact that sale
prices Of Yearly everything reached a
higher level last year than ut any time
during the last eighteen years, and the
farm produce leads all the rest.
The bureau divides the 258 commod-
ties 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
last year did not affect prices of farm
stuff very much. In fact, taking every
thing sold. the farmer got more money
In 1907 than the average of lei 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 &C
counts. fewer mortgages. better ma
chinery. and, more important than any
thing else, higher standard Of living
for the family.
There is one small fly in the ONT
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.

Value Of Farm Products.

There are about 100000 farms in
the United States. In 1907 the value
of the products from these farms was
$7,1l2.000,OOO The average for each
farm is about $1,O5S. This means gross
products whether consumed on the
farm or sold in the market.

Grasses

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 80 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.

VALUE OF sELF-AssERTION.


Many well educated man of good
address and ability fails to win satis-
factory position in life because he lacks
self assertion. He has a shrinking
nature and abhors publicity; the
thought of pushing himself forward
is repugnant to him, and so he is left
behind in the race by the hustling,
stirring, vigorous people around him,
many of whom do not possess one
tenth of his ability or natural advan-
tages.
Many young people have totally
mistaken conception of the meaning
of healthy aggressiveness. They
frequently confound it with egotistic
boastfulness, decry it as a lack of
modesty, and consider it the sign of
petty, vulgar soul. They think it un-
becoming to try to make a good i'm
preston in regard to their own ability,
ossd sehrisaIr- frrssa sssslalis. .ra11 1aal;a.,--
ing that, if they work hard, even in
retirement, they will come out all
right.
Thousands of young men are occu-
pying inferior positions today because
of their humility, SO to speak, or
fear of seeming toput themselves for
ward. Many of them are conscious
that they are much abler than the su-
perintendents or managers over them,
and are consequently dissatisfied, feel
ing that an injustice has been done
them, because they have been passed
over in favor of more aggressive work
ers. But they have been too modest
to assert themselves or to assume re-
sponsibility when occasion has war
ranted, thinking that in time their
real ability would be discovered by
their employers, and that they would
be advanced accordingly. But a
young man with vim and self-con6-
dence, who courts responsibility, will
attract the attention of those above
him, and will be promoted when
retiring, self-effacing, but much abler
youth who worked beside him is
passed by.
1t is useless to say that merit ought
to win under any circumstances-the
fact remains that there is very little
chance for a young man, no matter
what his ability, to forge ahead, ifhe
lacks just appreciation of himself
and is destitute of that consciousness
of power and willingness to assume
responsibility which impresses his
personality on others and opens the
door to recognition of his merit.
"Tis true, It's pity and pity tits
true" that modest worth that retires
from the public gaze and works in
secret, waiting to be discovered and
to have prizes thrust upon it, waits in
vain. The world moves too fast in
this twentieth century to turn aside to
seek out shrinking ability. We must
all 60 to the world. We need not
delude ourselves with the idea that it
will come to us. no matter how able
actual inability can never hope to
hold its own, even though, through
self-conceit and aggressive methods
it may succeed in pushing its way
ahead for a time, it is equally true
that shrinking, self-effacing ability
rarely comes to its own.

cts wonderful what lot Of things

"It's wonderful what a lot of things
you can get into trunk, particularly
a steamer trunk, - remarked Peter
Carroll of the Cleveland Transfer
Company, day or two ago. "Some-
times when we have lost steamer
trunk" he proceeded to explain, "the
owner will come in witha list of things
it contained, including pretty much
everything he and his family ever
owned short of household furniture.
And a woman will have as much
good in her trunk as a small
dry goods store, all of the choicest
goods and fabrics, too, and brand
new.
"Then, for instance, man will
put in a claim for several shirts at $3.-
so apiece, and some S. and So neckties.
When we size the man up and notice
that he's wearing one of these near
neckties that come already tied, and
an old, faded shirt that cost him
$I.I5 at a marked down sale year
or two previous, it makes US sit up
and wonder what he's saving all that
swell raiment for.
Eve always get locksmith and
disinterested witness to open trunk
that we have recovered after it has
been lost, to see if conditions of the
packing would indicate that anything
had been stolen out. 1t is seldom
the contents correspond to theitemized
list. remember of one trunk that
was supposed to contain three or four
new suits by high priced tailor here
in town, but which didn't have any
thing in the way of a suit but one old
frayed pair of hand-me-down trousers.
"It's surprising, too, says Carroll,
chow many people will receive a
trunk that does not belong to them.
Occasionally we'll leave trunk at
the wrong address, in consequence of
the new street numbers, but the peo-
pie at the wrong numbers don't say
anything. Then when we finally run
the trunk down, they say they
thought some one might be coming
to visit them. Wouldn't it be funny
if people went around visiting that
way-sending their trunks ahead be-
fore they spoke of coming. And the
trouble is that, even after the visitors
fail to appear, the people still keep
the trunk"
