A Last Emhrace.

As 4 well known New Yorker
stepped from a Michigan Central train
IN Chicago, Il handsome young lady
skipped up to him, threw her arms
rapturously about his neck, and kissed
him many times. saying, "Oh, papa
I'm So glad you've Gomez" The old
gentleman threw both drnls around
her and held her firmly to his breast.
Soon she looked up into his face, and
horror stood in her eye. "Oh, my,
you're not my papa" she said, trying
to free herself from his embrace. Yes,
l am" insisted the old gentleman,
holding her tightly you are my long
lost daughter. and I'm going to keep
you right in my arms until l get a po-
liceman." When the officer came and
found the old gentleman's diamond pin
In the girls hand. he said. '"That's a
new trick here lis it," was the re-
mark. "Well. it's several weeks old in
New York"

Firm Land Prices.

One Of the incidents of the late fnan-
rial panic is the firmness with which
land values have passed through a ma
tional crisis. In other paics Of 1857
1878 and 1893 prices Of real estate de
clined both in rural districts and great
cities. Prices for farm products ruled
lower. rents reacted and the earning
ability of real estate investments de-
clined.
While industrial investments Stow
largely decreased earnings for the past
ricultural lands has enlarged through
increased production and higher prices
for farm products. There has been a
larger migration from the cities to the
country Of people out Of employment
who had formerly worked at Industrial
production. The weakness Of skilled
professions as compared with hus-
bandry is evidenced by the great army
Of unemployed that is compelled to &C
cept enforced idleness through the dull
ness Of Industrial enterprises.
The independence insured by the
ownership Of country homes and the
certainty Of living Incomes from small
farms is turning the attention of many
inhabitants of cities to the advantages
of farm life as compared to the unccr
tainty Of employment in great cities.
he demand for small holdings Is
breaking up the big ranches and sparse
ly settled districts are becoming ran
idly densely populated by immigrants
and energetic people who are striving
for an independent living.
The vast areas that are being re-
claimed by irrigation are being sub
divided into small farms and will be
operated under a system Of scientific
cultivation. Rev. Mr.. Dedrich has set
the example of what can be achieved
on a small farm by purchasing fifteen
acres and mourning a debt Of several
thousand dollars near Philadelphia. and
operating the small farm with a dairy
He liuuidated the mortgage from the
income of the fifteen acres, and demon
strated hat small farms tntelligently
managed are ample to support large
families.
Farm lands are steadily advancing
in value. There Is no method to en-
large the area Of farm land except by
reclamation Of swamps and arid dis
tricts. while population is steadily in
creasing and the domestic consumption
Of agricultural products broadening an
nuaIly. Under present conditions good
farm land is destined to increase IN
value.-GoodaIIs Farm

Thomas w. Lawson. at a dinner In
Boston, talked about success.
Success in finance" he said. lis due
in great measure to prompt action.
The doulting. heSitating. Hamlet type

He is sure to hc Swampcd. The street
has no use for him. Such a man al
ways makes me think of my bOyhood
friend, Grimes. Grimes was a faiterer,
a dOubter, a Hamlet Of the worst type.
One night ] dropped in on him Il
found him bent in a brown study over
a white vest.

The LeEhorns.

As a farm fowl. Leghcrns are one
of the best OF breeds but to have
them at their best, and doing their
best. give them unlimited range. Many
farm wives are SO situated that to
make eggs their farm stock in trades
Under right conditions-and farm life
is one Of the best of right conditions"
for Ie2horns-eggs will always be in
abundance. For ones own satisfaction
If nothing more, it will be wise to Gull
out the inferior looking specimens when
such appear among the seasons
matches. In this manner the flock is
yearly improving in quality and gen.
eral beauty, and in a little time eggs
for hatching,' as well as eggs for mar
ket will become a paying feature of
the farms enterprises. ~Incubators will
come and brooders for rearing the
chicks. possibly. at first, hens Of any
and every obtainable breed or mixture
OF breeds will be in demand as incu-
bators and breeders for the chicks. One
may keep such hens themselves, or,
better still, purchase them Of neigh
bors when wanted, and not be troubled
with their presence on the place ex-
cept when absolutely needed. For they
mar the appearance. more or less, OF
ones lock of pure bred birds of one
color.

The largest expense in growing
Strawberries is N the hoe;ng, wedding
and ~cultivating necessary, therefore if
you can double the yield of strawber-
ries by making the soil very rich, you
will be more than repaid by adding this
excessive supply of fertility.
Remember that your strawberry
plantation will require no more hoeing.
wedding or horse cultivation on rich
soil than on poor soil. Thus, If you
can increase the yield from 100 bushels
an acre to 200 bushels an acre by add
ing $50 worth of commercial fertilizer
or other fertilizers, you can readily see
how profitable will be the investment
In this fertilizer.

1. II tho TruthY

Bachelors, observes a writer, are fon6
of talking about the e~xtravagance q
women and giving that as h excuse
for their not marrying while they kno
in their hearts that there are lots Of
women whom they might marry whe
are not e~xtravagant, as regards clothes
at least. But these women they look
upon as dowdies, and don't want them
for life partners, which goes to show
that it is the extravaganza Of the bach
elor that reacts and makes extravaganza
women.

Electricity Direct from sun.

An inventor by the name of George S.
Cove of Boston claims to have solved the
problem of storing up the suns rays and
converting them into electricity. He is
demonstrating his apparatus by lighting
his home and shop by a simple apparatus
on the roof. No wires or connections of
any sort enter his house, and vet the in
candescent lights burn brightly day and
night. He says the apparatus can be
made for 500, and if encased in glass
will last ten years without repairs or at
tention.

Many a life has been cut short by a
cough that was not believed to be Sc
rious. Many a backache and sideachc
follows a coughing spell. Many a night
is passed in restlessness caused by
coughing. Many a cough cure that
never cures is tried. Do not be misled.
If you cough, take the old reliable
Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure.

fonICS.
A stock tonic is not q medicine, {.
cure, q remedy. but an aid to the d.
geStive and assimilative processes OF
nutrition. 1t is thus q preventive of
disease. A rightly compounded stock
tonic simply supplies the animal arti-
ticially with certain necessary elements
for the perfect regulation Of the proc
cSs Of nutrition, just as does the sup
plying Of salt in the same way.
Note that we say rightly compounded
tonic. For either an excess or a lack
OF certain ingredients depreciatcs tho
value Of a tonic, just as an Incorrectly
balanced feed lowers it's nutritive
value.
There is no secret about the com
position of the well known stock tOnicS.
Indeed, most states have laws requiring
that the ingredients of the contents be
plainly printed On every package.
The exact proportion of certain ele-
ments differ In different brands, but
the approximate proportions are known
to most stockmen, or can be obtained
from the national department Of agrl-
culture or from the different expert
ment stations.
The question then arises, Why cannot
a farmer make bis own tonics? H.
can, just as he can make his own cloth
ing, If he can spend the time, get the
correct proportions and accomplish the
most effective combination. For 1T
must be remembered that the right
amount of each material simply put to-
gether in some sort of a way does not
make a suit Of clothes-no more does 1t
make an effective stock tonic. Not only
must the proportions be correct, out the
condition Of each ingredient must be
right and its consistency such that it
will properly blend with all the Others.
The makers Of stock tones have the
proportions and the proper consistency
Of the elements down fine and the
thrifty stockmen knows that he is not
only buying the right material in Il
reputable stock tonic, but he is also
buying the right skill and experience it
takes to compound the tonic correctly.

We must depend more on the silo
and proteinaceous forage crops and less
upon the heterogeneous b~y-products. The
results that have been attained by feed
ing tender pasture grasses show hat
the animals need succulence during the
long winter months, and this should
convince us that the silo is a most val
liable means Of preserving the cows
winter rations. The cost Of dairy feed
can be very much reduced by a change
in the ordinary methods Of feeding. We
must grow more feed IN the farm.
