on span wires stretched across the
arena. supported by poles placed en-

at each end by guy anchors. The IL

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES

Little Bess and her father were
several blocks from home. "Shall
we take car or walk?" he asked
I'D razzer walk If 200 will tarry
me-" replied the little miss.
Helen, who was visiting in the
country, wanted to pick some rasp-
berries.
But I'm afraid they are not ripe
yet," protested her grandmother.
'Oh, yes, they are, grandma" said
Helen; "the shoppers come out just
as easy!"
Seeing man in the basket of the
balloon as it rose, Walter said:
Mamma, don't you s'pose God
will be angry when He sees that man
coming up to heaven alive?"-Phila-

BABY'S RIDE.

Nor dear little Dolly; for no one must

On our horses so fleet,
We rock-a-by, rock-a-by, rock-a-by ride.
Rock-a-by! Rock-a-by!
Baby shall ride;
There, close at hand, cur swift horses are
Up, Sweetheart, be quick! Let nobody see
Which way they go with you and me,
Sly Puss is not peeping,
And Dolly is sleeping,
So roek-a-by, rock-a-by, rock-a-by ride.
Rock-a-by! Rock7a-by!
Baby shall ride.
Here is moonbeam we'll take for our

And off to dear Dreamland wen trot fast

Then quick as wink,
Without even one blink,
Well up on our horses and homeward we'll

THE TRUNK OF THE ELEPHANT.
The long trunk of the elephant is
very, very wonderful. The neck of
four-footed animals is usually long,
to enable them to reach their food
without difficulty, but the elephant
has short neck to enable him more
easily support the weight of his huge
head and heavy tusks.
The long trunk helps him to get
his food, and the trunk is to an ele-
phant what a long neck is to other
animals.-Home Notes.

REASON FARMERS MOVE
Habit Is Most Prevalent Among Ten
ants-seareity of Land
Not a Reason.

Wall Street Journal: There are
probably not less than 1000, 600 farms
in the United States. These represent
at least an equal number of families
residing upon or adjacent to the lands
which they own or till According to
the census Of 1900 population of CAT
per cent of the farms OF the country
were then occupied by owners. Mean
while, owing to the premium upon the
productiyeness of land as measured by
prices of produce, 1t is fair to assume
that ownership and operation under
common control pertains to two-thirds
of American farms. The other third of
farm tenure is divided among cash ten
ants and share tenants in the proper
tion of about 13 and 21 per cent re-
spectively. To what extent does the
migratory activity prevail among these
different elements?
Undoubtedly the condition of tenure
rather than the scarcity of land, is a
potent factor in that unsettling Of
agricultural industries which uproots
a farm family in one locality and moves
1t off into another The share tenant
is probably the most easily disturbed
Next comes the cash tenant, and least
as well as last, tle actual owner. The

always appreciated by those who are

surprised at the wandering instincts
of the land-owning farmer.
One of these is the existence of a
mortgage debt A farmer who is not
making progress in materially reducing
mis- mortgage Is apt to take advantage
OF any marked advance in the price of
land to realize on the unearned incre-
ment When such sales occur the one
time owner moves into, town with his
proceeds or goes off to territory where
the unearned increment has not vet
been capitalized in value.
Another reason for migration il that
farmers, trained in the older methods,
are face to face with new conditions,
which are best described in the term
scientific farming" They have the
alternative of selling their lands to
people who can make capitalstic cuI
ture at present investment prices more
profitable To this class must be added
the sons of some farmers who see no
promise of ownership a. the present
land prices in the rural community in
which they grew UP.
II is foolish to assume that scarcity
OF farm land in the United States ex-
plains migration to Canada. In the
United States the unimproved acreage
may be estimated at 365, 200. 900 acres
II not more. 1t is relative productive
ness Of capital and labor on land that
determines agricultural migration.
