that soon they intend to leave the
business to others and get little
place where they can raise chickens
and garden stuff. We have hear this
so many times that we cannot recall
even a few of the best instances. Man
is always more or less of an optimist
and longs for things that he will at
tain in the end, if his work is rightly
directed. Poultry farms are good in
vestments They never take wings
and sail off or can they be moved
without a great deal of inconvenience.
1t is mighty stony ground that will
not raise chickens, and poor farm,
no matter how small, that will not
make good living for one who care
fully tends it. No one can be more
independent than the small land
holder. His meat and eggs ard milk
and garden ''sass' are enough for
good living. There is always some
thing to sell and the taxes are lighter
than those of city property.
Three years ago there was a green
horn left his city Office and sold the
home place, in vesting the money in a
small twenty acre farm. Berries and
apples, peaches and sweet corn, poul-
try and squads, butter and eggs, table
poultry and bit of veal all contrib
uted to the table, and though this

Every man who once was next the
soil and knew what healthy til ed
feeling was, but who is now more or
less engrossed in his business, longs
to get back to the land. There is "a
larger movement back to the land
today than ever. 1t is daily oc-
currence to read of some man who
has had his 6ll of desk work and
money grubbing, who releases him
self from the bonds and takes to the
simple ways of living. Go to any
poultry show. In the land and talk
with ten men who are in to see the
show but who are not located to ear
chickens, being busy with business
and other cares, and they will say

THE FARMERS
YEAR BOOK

A new issue of the Year Book, the
great popular annual of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, has
appeared. In size, appearance and
contents, the Year Book for 1908 is
very similar to its predecessors, and
il will doubtless be of interest and
value to people engaged in agriculture
al pursuits.
The q popular papers designed to
interest and instruct the farmers, -
which occupy 304 pages Of this issue,
are strictly new and original and
they cover a field almost as wide as
agriculture itself. Only a few of the
salient features can be mentioned.
A. f. Woods discusses the "Wastes
of the Farm and tells how intelli-
gent farmers can prevent many OF
them. A. K. Fisher tells how wild
er, and ther efore deserves his friend
ship. Frank Andi ews contributes an
instructive paper on ''Cost and meth
DDS of transporting meat animals. -
G. V. Piper gives an account of '"The
search for new leguminOus forage
crops" especially IN India, Japan,
China, and Siberia, whence many val
liable species have been introduced.
The plague Of mice which recently oc-
Cured in Nevada is described by
Stanley e. Piper. David e. Lantz
tells how to use poisons in destroying
coyotes, prairie dogs, rats, mice, and
A. L. Quaintance tells how to destroy
orchard insects by spraying. D. A.
Seely describes the devices used in
observing the weather and tells the
farmer how to try his hand at weather
fore casting. w. A. Taylor describes
"Some promising new varieties of
apples, peaches, persimmons, and
pecans, and these are illustrated with
coloIed plates. ''The small farm as
a means of improving Southern rural
conditions" is presented by S. A.
Knapp. r. HI. Sullivan denies that
"the so-called changes of climate in
the semiarld west'' is reality. w. j.
Spillman discusses "Types OF farm
Ing," G. o. Townsend, by-products
of the beet sugar industry; and M.
Dorset. the cause and prevention of
hog cholera.
The volume is illustrated with 20
text figures and 55 full page plates.

WOMEN AND woMEN's INTER
 ESTS.

Women are becoming less hysterical and better able to care for themselves every day. la former times when any thing went wrong the average wife and mother would weep and wiring her hands. Now she gets up and does something to remedy it.
 In matters of hygiene women have made better progress than men. The latter are apt to be afraid of fresh air, but it is hard to find a woman who does not sleep with her windows wide open,
 Soft beds with many pillows have given way to a hard mattress with only one pillow or in many instances none at all. This does away with the ten dency to become round shouldered.
 The morning tub followed by cold shower is complexion beauitfer as well as nerve tonic.
 A bright writer says that the reason women have not amounted Co much m the past was that men ate too much. The average woman was kept tired to death by her gigantic task of "feeding The brute, - so she hadn | the energy Co develop many fine ideas of her own.

 Worms in wood may be kept down by the use of parraffin applied to the holes with small brush.
 A little vinegar added to the water when washing windows will give a better polish.
