THIS is SOME COUNTRY.

Russia is the only country in Europe
larger than the state of Texas.
France is not quite so big as Cali
fornia and Alabama combined.
Germany is about the size Of France
and about equal to Montana and
Georgia combined.
The British Isles are about the same
size as New Mexico.
Belgium with its II, 1878 square miles
is not quite so big as Maryland with
IL, 327.
Italy is about the sizo of Nevada.
Servia is almost 25, 900 square miles
smaller than Indiana
Illinois is nearly as large as Belgium,
Servia and the Netherlands combined.
Austria with 241, 49l square miles is
the biggest country in Europe next to
Russia, but is $4,000 square miles
smaller than Texas.
Either Texas, California, Montana
or New Mexico is larger than the
British Isles
Montenegro, Roumania, Servia, Bull

gether and laid down inside the borders
of either Texas, California or Montana.
And Russia with 1897, 80 square
miles is about two-thirds the size of
the United States, not counting any of
our island possessions.

First Mortgage Gold Bonds, sects ed
by improved farms, are superior i'm
many respects and much more desira-
BILE as an investment, than many of the
bonds listed on the Stock Exchange.
They are not effected by strikes,
political eccentricities or stock market
manipulations. They do not fluctuate
For safety, stability and attractive
income the farm mortgage stands at
the head with few equals and no su-

For the benefit Of those Of small
means we have Gold Bonds in denomin-

No expense in collecting interest or

The poet and mystic, Emerson,
wrote of the perfect New England
day: There are days which occur
in this climate at almost any season
of the year, whereon the world reach
es its perfection; when the air, the
heavenly bodies and the earth make
a harmon" as if Nature would in
dulge her offspring;......and the cat
tie that lie on the ground seem TO
have great and TRANQUIL thoughts"
1t was of such a day that Lowell
sang:
"And what is so rare as day in
June?
Then. if ever. come perfect DAYS;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in
tune,
And over it softly her warm car laws"
The busy man in the strenuous DAYS
of having has, it is true, little time
for poetry and reflection; yet there
is something about the quality of
the early June days that lifts us out
of ourselves, and sets us in tune with
the infinite. But these thoughts Wis
1t only those who are in close touch
with Nature, and are scarcely pos
sible to those who walk in the deep
caverns between sky-scrapers, and
whose horizon is bounded by rows of
houses. Thus by the divine law Of
compensation, those who in the field.
are bearing the heat and burden of
the day are able to see with cleaI
vision as they lift their eyes to the
hills.
The man who is thus daily and
hourly in close touch with Nature,
sharcr Of her secrets. partner in her
bounty and witness of her beauty and
her miracles, ought to be a clean and
wholesome man, as we believe usually
he is. Wickedness and vice can not
live in such an atmosphere if man
is in proper touch with his environ
ment and has caught the celestial
fire. Let us all. however busy we
may be, pause long enough to drink
in the beauty of these June days, and
be thankful That our lines have fall
len in pleasant places.-Farm Jour
nal.

Back to the Farm.

There is a good deal of evidence
in the papers and magazines that the
people in the towns, and the sociolo-
gists who are interested in humanity
are anxious to start movement
back to the farm" among the unem-
ployed. DR.. Steiner, in an article in
one of the Eastern magazines re-
Gently, suggested arrangements by
which immigrants from southern Eu-
rope, many. of whom are farmers,
might be directed to the country in
stead of being herded in the cities.
There has been q lack of work in
the cities the United Statse over dur
ing the past winter, and men out Of
employment are rushing to whatever
point promises an opportunity to get
work. The Mayor of St. Paul has
been telegraphing to labor commits
sloners elsewhere, warning laboring
men away from st. Paul, owing to a
lack of work. The Associated Char
tiles of Des Noines have assisted ten
poor families to locate on farms in
Iowa, where there is promise of work
during the entire year, together with
free house rent.
This condition of things is not sur
prising. We have had boom times
since 1897 The cities have been
growing by leaps and bounds. Man
ufacturing industries have greatly
enlarged their facilities and work has
been plentiful. The lure of the
young men and women to the cities
still continues. Naturally this state
of affairs must sooner or later come
to an end; and when business assumes
a waiting altitude, naturally it begins
to decline, and men are thrown out
of employment Wages on the farm
have advanced about 2 per cent
year, until some men are paying as
high as S45 month. For the first
time in many years, farmers are pay
ing higher wages, all things consid-
cred, than the city; and naturally,
many men out of employment look
with longing eyes to the farm.
The unfortunate thing is that very
few of these men are competent to
work efficiently on the farm. We be-
lieve there is place for the immi-
grants of whom DIR. Steiner spoke,
but it is not on the corn belt farm,
I nor on the ordinary farm outside the
corn belt. The farmer in southern
Europe is used to farming with one
horse, at most two. or mule, or with
the spade, or pruning hook. He is
seldom used to driving two horses
much less four. He knows nothing
whatever about improved machinery,
nor live stock growing, the knowledge
of which is an education in itself, and
which can be acquired to the best adj
vantage only in youth. There should
be places in New England for this
class of people, in the production of
fruit, vegetables, etc, which find a
market in the great cities; but the
corn belt is not the place for them.
Heretofore laboring men have pre-
ferred to go on short rations in the
cities rather than have freedom in the
country. Farmers have tried en-
ploying unskilled city labor over and
over again. We tried it ourselves at
one time, and found the plan unpro-
ftable. We hope our readers who
have secured this help will not be dis
appointed. There may be room for
this class of people in the east or in
the south, and also on the Pacific
coast.
All this indicates to us that there is

going to be a change. Booming times
can not last. There must be a hull
People who are short of funds, SO
short that charity has to help them
are not likely to have the qualities
that would make them efficient on the
farm. Many boys reared in town
however. make good farmers if tax
en- young. Some of the best farmers
they got their farm education in the
country, the only place in which this
education can be obtained.
This fact that men in town are glad
to go to the farm after they have
failed in town should tend to check
the movement of farm boys and girls
to town, in the hope of enjoying the
pleasure and the life of the city while
making at least as much money as
they could make on the farm. The
greatest benefit that comes to the
farmer from slight buciness depres-
sion, through which we are now pass
ing, will be not in securing more help
from the town, but in keeping the
help that is trained to the farm. Thir-
ty dollars month the year around,
free house, and the vegetables that
can be grown by the laborer himself,
is a much better thing than the wages
that labor can hope to retain the year
around in the city.
The city will continue to take, as
it always has done, some of the
brightest; for the farm always raises
more people than it can support or
find work for; but only the brightest
are of much use in the city. We don't
say it is best for the brightest to come
to the city, for the farm will always
find place for really bright boys and
girls. And there are also some people
raised on the farm that have not the
farm spirit and farm tastes, who have
little individuality and can be easily
bossed. who naturally gravitate TO
the cities and fill minor positions in
factory, store and shop. There are
and always will be enough of these to
supply the real needs of the city.
The movement is very interesting,
especially to those who can profit by
its lessons. If the winter had not
been as mild in the west as il has
been, there would have been a great
deal more suffering than there has
been in the cities, because of the long
excessive movement of population
from the farm to the town.

A young Indy in this city had an

went upstairs ard had just turned

err ask for her. She made a dive for

went down to the parlor and found a

was anxious to make good impress
sion. He appeared nonplused at her
looks, but being n man of the world
was wise enough to tell woman her
faults. he said nothing. She sat and
chatted gracefully and had a delight
full evening. AS soon as he had gone
she rushed to the mirror, as every
