A Sight for the Elk.
From Argonaut.

At a country fair out in Kansas a
man went up to a tent where some elk

there, he said TO the keeper, but il
would be mean to go in without NV

Every one said the man. You wait

Small farms

Small farms possess many ad
 vantages over large holdings, and for the capital invested pay
 much larger dividends. The owner of a small farm does not envy the bonanza agriculturist.
 who becomes slave to his broad acres. In general, men who en- gage in husbandry are ambitious to town too much land, and in this way become in many in stances actually land poor. They cannot proftably work their es- tates. Although a man may have the resources to buy a large farm, unless he has the capital to properly equip it he will find his broad acres an unpro fitable investment. To realize the great est possibilities out of a farm it must be equipped with proper appointments and stocked with improved breeds of animals. The outbulldings need to be econom- ically arranged and of a class to afford proper protection to his
 
 stock. If all ones capital is in vested in land the owner is des- tined to struggle for years to make his necessary improve ments. Beginning with inexpen- sive betterments the farmer is forced into life of self denial before he can attain to the com forts of life which might have been his for years had he been cotent with less land and better improvements. The farm inn proved with poor fences and out buildings, inferior wells and no windmills, continually subject it's owner to losses of crops and live stock.
 Large farms require much help 10 successfully operate them. ! The big farm is always short of ample laborers to efftcieutls op crate it. At great expense crops are often produced only to be sacrificed because the farmer can not obtain the requisite amount I of help to save the harvest.
 Modern agriculture contem- plates more intensive cultiva- tion of the land, and the returns from one acre are two fold re, ceived under. ordinary tillage. in tillage is the of advanced husband ry. Intense cultivation kills weeds, encourages plant growth and keeps the soil in proper con- 1ition to absorb natures fertiliz. CTS from the atmosphere, dews and rains that fall on the land.

THE QUESTIONER

l called the boy to my knee one day, And l sad: You're just past four; Will you laugh in that same light
 hearted way When you're turned, say. thirty
 mOre?" Then thought of 8 past I'd fain erase, More cIouded skies than blue, And anxiously peered in his upturned
 face,
 For it seemed to say:
 ''Did you?" I touched my lips to his tiny own And said to the boy; "Heigh hoI Those lips are as sweet as the hay, new
 mown; Will you keep them always SOP" Then back from those years came rakish son T With rlbald jest or two And gazed at the child who knew uo
 wrong, And thought he asked:
 Did yeu?' I looked in his eyes, big, blue, and clear, And cried: 'Oh, boy of mine, .-',.. Will you keep them true in the after
 years? Will you leave no heart to pine?" Then out of the past came another's
 eyes Sad eyes of tear-dimmed blue Did he know they were not his mothers
 eyes? For he answered me:
 ''Did you?"

MODERATE PRICES

Consider what a vast difference is possible between one farm of $40 acres or 16 farms of 40 acres as to the social features of rural life. If owners could carry their land with them when they pass to the silent shades of death, land covetousness might be tolerated, but too much land forces neglect of the higher and nobler attri- buteS of cultivation.

Our National BOnfireS

What can be done toward pro tecting large areas of forested
 lands has been we'll established
 by the work of the forest service
 on the national forests.
 The national forests cover in
 round numbers about 185, ,OOO, OOC
 acres of public land. The fire
 loss each year on this great area
 has by careful patrolling and systematic fire fighting been so reduced as to be almost mere
 nothing. In 1907 the area burn ed oyer was but 104, 40 acres, or less than three fourths of 1 per cent of the whole area.
 It is estimated that the nation al forests cover only about one fourth of the entire forested area of the United States, so that on this basis the total area that would have been burned over in the whole of the United States in that year should have been but little over 485, ,OO0 acres.
 The estimates show that the total actually was between G. 900, 900 and 5000. 900 acres.
 AS for the cost, taking the ex- pense of the work on the nation al forests as a basis, it would have cost but $3, 900, GOO to patrol and protect the whole of the for ests of the country, which would be a very cheap form of fire in- for the people who, with out it, lost somewhere between S25, ,000, GOO and $50, GOO, 900 worth of timber during the the year 1907. Nor need this work be done by the federal authorities, because-by system of cooper ation between the federal and state governments some. plan certainly can be worked out that would place the matter upon @ oasis of cooperation.
 The prime. requisite is a uni form system of laws covering the whole question. When a state adopts such a law for the hand ing of it's forested lands as is satisfactory to the federal gov srnment and appropriates funds. 'er it's proper administration, the. 'ederal government could appro-. oriate a proportionate amount md furnish it's trained officials o advise with the state officers, the working of the law, ;riticise its. weak points, and generally oversee the entire york in an advisory capacity.-.
