CHARLES READE's MoDEsrY.

Only Author on Record Who Though,
 He Wns Too We'll Paid.
 In his recollections in McClure's, William H. Rideing says that in an editorial experience of more years than he cares to acknowledge he has met only one author who thought he was too we'll paid-Charles Reade. Here are some extracts from a letter of Reade's to Rideing:
 Dear Sir: I beg to thank you for the munificent sum you sent me for a mere dictated article of which you had not the monopoly, and shall be reconsidered if we do business to- gether.
 'If they let them slip (referring to a series of articles then in the hands of a publisher), you can have them if you like; if they retain them see my way to write you strong story, but there must be love in it; not illicit love, nor passionate love, but that true affection between the sexes without which it is impossible to interest read CTS for more than a few pages. Pray consider the subject, thus confined; it cannot be long hidden from the young that there is an innocent and natural love between the sexes, and, in plain truth, successful fiction is somewhat narrow; love is its turnpike road; you may go off that road into highways, into byways and woods, and gather here and there choice flowers of imagi- nation that do not grow at the side of that road but you must be quick and get back to your turnpike pretty soon, or you will miss the heart of the read CT.
 Then, as to the remuneration you were kind enough to offer, do not sec how you can afford S-- per page. Publishers will pay for their whistle. like other people. and will buy a name for more than it is worth unless it is connected with work that would be valuable without name. In my view of things, nothing is good that is not durable, and no literary business can be durable if the author takes all the profit"

How Wise Mother Directed Little

 She was a very little maiden and she thought that Willy Smith, whom she met at party, was the very nic est boy she had ever seen.
 Mummy" she told her mother the morning after the party, 'I want to write every day to Willy Smith; I said l would"
 "All right. dearie," was the cheerful reply.
 A very inky letter went of that day to Willy Smith. But the next day, when the small damsel had finished writing her missive, she looked up al her mother.
 Must I pay two pennies every time I write to Willy Smith?" she asked plaintively.
 Why, of course, darling" said the mother
 But if I pay two pennies every day to write to Willy Smith, won't have any pennies of my own"
 No. that is true''
 Mummy, Tn pleading voice, won't you give me two pennies for my letter."
 NO, dear, I don't care to write tc Willy Smith. Why should I spend my pennies on him?''
 Then" with a sigh. ''I think I won't write any more to Willy Smith. I'd rather have my pennies"

KeepinE Accounts.

It has only been in recent years that farmers have been awakening to the fact that by taking an inventory once a year and by keeping an accurate book account that many valuable les sons could be learned and that by so doing they could place their farms on a more profitable basis With business men, competition is so keen and profits necessarily so small that without keep ing an accurate book account they would soon be forced out of business, but with farmers more slack methods do not necessarily result in bank ruptcy, due, no doubt. to the fact that the farmer gets most of his living from the farm without any cash outlay whereas the merchant must pay cash for everything he eats and wears. Not withstanding this fact, however, the farmer who keeps book account will find it just as profitable, if not more so, as the merchant.

Brace for Fence Post.

In about four cases out of every ten tagging of wire fences is due to poor, Improper bracing. It is not enough to staple the separate strands secured to each post-that is splendid as far as it goes. To have a well-stretched fence and keep it taut. 1t is absolutely necessary that a good brace or anchor post be used and that the fence be stretched from these anchors. A good brace is illustrated. The construction IS very simple and the cost is as mod crate as any.
 The end post should be of good size and perfectly sound. The brace post need not be large. but must be n good condition if it is to wear Other posts may be easily reset with ut interfering greatly with the fence, put this Is not the case with either f the bracers.

The president of Northwestern UnI
 versity, in an address before the Mu- sic Teachers National Association in Chicago. said that the American peo- pie are musical barbarians, and that the function of the musician is to civil ize them. The statement is extrava- gant in form, but is not untrue. It is probably true also that the English, the French, the German, the Russian, and every other nation, taking them as a whole, are musical savages. Knowl- edge of the best music and apprecia- tion of it is confined. in every country, to the few who have the opportunity and the money to become familiar with it. But Americans are not so bar barous musically as they were a gen eration ago. Chicago, Pittsburg, New York, Boston and other cities have long maintained first class musical or ganiZations, and their concerts and operas have educated and entertained a great army of men and women who do missionary work for good music whenever the subject is discussed An other musical educator of wider infiu- ence that the orchestras and singing societies is the mechanical piano play CT. This device makes it possible for any person with fondness for music to play in his own home the master pieces of the best composers. Com positions which a professional mu- sician cannot learn to execute on a piano without long and tedious prac- tice can be played with marvellous ex- pression by a tyro after an hours practice on the mechanical player. A still humber, but more far-reaching influence in popular musical education. is the photograph or graphophone, which reproduces vocal as well as in- strumental music. The more expen- sive forms of the instrument are so perfect that when a record made by a famous opera singer is run through it is difficult for a listener to decide whether he is hearing a human voice or a machine.

Farmer. and Hirh Prices.

The farmer is not guilty. He is a Tery small factor in the high prices now being paid for products. A study of prices paid in Chicago for beeves, sheep and hogs and for produce will show that the farmer is not getting more than his share. Recently the writer purchased a hind quar- ter of beef, dressed and delivered on his farm, for g cents a pound. This same piece of meat would retail in Chicago for twice that amount. Any one can buy dressed meat from the farmers for that price, cents a pound for fore quarter and cents for hind quarter.
 Our hogs sell for nearly cents a pound on the hoof and can be pur- chased from farmers, killed and dressed, at 12 cents. There is no waste in either dressed pork or beef purchased from farmers-the same kind as that you get from your local butcher. The farmer is paying high prices for everything he uses and his land must earn an income on an in- NCSlmCAl OI lIOIu S1OO lO SGOO oh e1SA S' His farm machinery and horses have doubled in price.
 Don't blame the farmer; he is work Ing hard for very ordinary wages. I nm farming 160 acres. I will be high ly pleased if I get $20 an acre for my crop. or $3,200 for the year. The landlord gets one-half the crop for rent. leaving me $1.6G0 for a years work for myself, wife and son, and s2,500 worth of horses and machinery. To earn this $1,600 we work from n. m. until 8 p. m., eight months of he year, and during the other four months put in more than eight hours day at hard manual labor. It is not III milk and honey on the farm, and the writer believes that the farmer, as consumer as well as producer, is buying too many automobiles for mid 1lemen, paying dividends on too much @atered stock and being the fall guy" IS well as the cliff dwellers of the city.

Different Methoda.

It is generally conceded by the best stockmen and farmers, as we'll as by authorities of some of the experiment stations, that meat animals of the fu- ture will have to be fed and finished in a different manner from what they have been. Less corn and more nitrog. enous feeds in the form of clover, cow peas and alfalfa, supplemented with better pastures, must be used in order to make the production profitable and at the same time make more and bet ter manure for maintaining the fer. tility of the land.
 Corn fodder and stover have in the past been used to a considerable eX tent in steer feeding, thus utilizing nearly all the corn plant. Feeding silage to beef steers is gradually gain- ing in favor. and by the use of silos and silage in beef production all of the corn plant can be used to good advantage.
 The legumes. including clover and alfalfa of the north and cowpeas of the south, have been found very profit able and economical in feeding both steers and hogs. Careful experiments have shown that a steer will make more economical gains on about half the corn usually fed with about an equal weight of alfalfa hay than on a diet of corn. with the dressed meat of a higher grade. Alfalfa on the farm before it is baled and marketed is worth only about half as much as corn, pound for pound. hence the gain to the grower in using the hay as 8 part of the finishing ration.
 Growing and finishing hogs has al- ready been radically changed over wide sections. More of forage crops such as alfalfa and cowpeas are being used, with less corn.

rungstep Lamp. for Farm..

The introduction of tungsten lamps Is doing much to advance the use of electricity on farms. It is possible for the farmer with a small plant driven either by a gasoline engine or by damming a small stream, to obtain sufficient current to light his house and barn with this economical type of incandescent lamp. The use of cleo tricity on the farm, by the way, Is growing. and. as pointed out by the Electrical World. farmers will in time come to consider electricity a neces- sity. Then 1t will be found profitable 70 establish central generating stations for farming districts to take the place of the small individual plants now be- Ing installed.
