THE COUNTY AGENT.

Since Kankakee county, Illinois, led
the way two years ago in the organ1-
zation Of commercial and agricul-
tural club, fourteen counties of that
state have adopted the county
agent" plan with apparently entire
satisfaction in the results. The claim
made for Kankakee county is that
under the direction OF it's farm SUI
pervisor, who is paid salary Of
$500 a year, an increase of $40 per
acre has been added to the wealth of
the county, which comprises rather
more than 100000 acres
This increase is counted largely In
new silos and in two drainage sys-
TENS which have made available
5000 acres of land that lay idle; but
much of it is represented by actual
increase in the productivity of the
soil under intelligent management.
The opinion is expressed by Henry
M. Hyde, writing in the Chicago Trib-
| une, that the Kankakee farm super
visor is well worth the salary paid
him. Relating the action of De Kalb
county in similar directions Mr.. Hyde
says:
DE Kalb county, OF which Syca-
more is the county seat, has set an
example in self-reliance which is in
spring. Refusing financial assistance
of any kind, its County club has raised
$4,000 a year for four years and has
employed w. G. Echhardt. also a for
mer professor in the State Agricul-
tural college. as director. Director
Eckhardt. who is paid $4,000 a year.
is supplied with a fine suite of Offices
and with competent assistants and is
devoting most of his energy at pres
ent to the improvement Of soil fertil-
ity in the county by the use of lime
alfalfa and other legumes, and artf-
fetal fertilizers.
THE money for the support of the
club is raised by a direct appropria-
ton Of $4,000 by the county commits

AUTUMN WALKING.

Whether one goes with q group. az

lately been exploring all parts Of this

no more delightful experience at this
season Of the year than q country walk.

coming OF fall. The trees have just
begun to turn to the rich glow Of au-
tumn. and refresh the eye with their
with the richness of perfected growths.
The summers work is drawing to a
close, and an air of leisure spreads
throughout the country that Is delight
full to contemplate.
To walk at such a time. to take no
note Of time. to penetrate into places
where the path leads to mystery. to
come unexpectedly upon habitations or
into wilderness, this Is to find the true
pleasure of the country. There is charm
everywhere. even when the surround
ings have been made unlovely for a lit
tie space by the hand Of man. For
beyond these scars that the assembling
of humanity has caused are always
restful places, and in this region nearly
every ha1f-mi1e brings q spread Of view
that rewards the walker for the weari-
ness of limb that is the price he pays
for his enjoyment.
