BY HARPER & BROTHERS.

Joe Weston. fourteen years old, decides
70 make a success Of his fathers run
dow farm. He reads the latest scientific
books. Mr.. Somerville, a merchant, agrees
to help him.
Joe's father is pessimistic. He sneers
at book. farming and book farmers. Mr..
Somerville, struck with Joe's business
ability and ambition, backs him In prize
competitions.
Passersby on the road linger to watch
Joe operate. The sneers that were In
evidence at first soon give way to looks
Of surprise. Joe is showing them some
thing as a farmer.
Joe's ather's pessimism gradually
fades away. He watches Joe work. He
sees him perform wonders with the soil.
He soon is as enthusiastic as Joe. His
conversion pleases Mr.. Somerville.
Joe's corn is the wonder of the country
side. With money he received from a
commission merchant for his product he
starts a bank account, which he proudly
exhibits to his father.
There is a constant demand for the corn
Joe is raising. In the prize competition
Joe makes 1sS bushels on ar acre at a
cost OF $l2.30.
1t is announced that Joe Weston. the
book farmer. won the first corn prize for
his county. His father says, "Son, I'm
powerful proud Of ye."
Joe is overwhelmed with Joy at receipt
Of a telegram that he also has won state
championship. With the money he pays
on part OF the FARMS Indebtedness. He
also wins trip to White House.
Joe describes to his mother and sister
his trip to the White House and his talk
with the president. Then he goes back to
fha 70 RIM which nouy "a tho falk of the
entire countryside.
Joe meets Tom Ralston. a boy OF about
his own age. Tom is from the north and
Is in quest of health. The Ralston boys
father is wealthy. and Joe and Tom be-
come fast friends.
Tom Ralston's father takes a great lik-
ing to Joe and offers to back him and
help him in every way. Joe finally ac-
lcepts Mr.. Ralston's offer OF fifty loads of
manure.
5 Joe buys his mother a canning outfit.
His mother and sister are enthusiastic
at the prospect Of helping in the general
money making scheme, and they start
work with a viii.
Tom Ralston has been studying scien-
tihc farming, and he gives Joe valuable
points. Joe takes his father to the corn
field and they actually hear the corn
grow.
The time for the next exhibit is near,
and Joe and his father and Tom Ralston
call in witnesses. 1t is now plain that
Joe, the Book Farmer" is the leading
prize winner of the county and state.
Joe, Mr.. Weston and Tom Ralston start
for the fair. Joe accidentally learns that
he is about to take the prize from a poo
boy. He refuses to enter. The poor boy
wins. When Mr.. Ralston hears of Joe's
noble act he gives him more than the
amount Of the prize.

the ground, and so there was no dan
ger Of its concentrated strength burn
ing the roots of the tender plants, yet
the necessary elements were there
ready for the hungry baby rootlets.
The measurements of the committee
were exactly the same as Joe had
made. so he commenced dropping the
seed corn. four grains every three feet
and the rows three feet apart The
committee lounged under the oaks
across the road.
When the corn had beer dropped I'm
the burrows Joe had old Badly ready
hitched TO a light plow and ran a shall
low furrOw next to the seed furrow.
This threw the dirt over the corn and
covered it properly.
Then the committee adjourned with
him TO the house and certified upon the
blank furnished by the corn club con-
testants for the report and record that
they had seen Joseph Weston plant his
acre of corn and cover 1t himself. They
signed it. Joe signed It. and the fight
was on.
From thenceforward. under the rules
of the contest, no other hand than his
own might touch that corn until It was
safely gathered and housed. The rules
permitted him to employ help in pre-
pairing the ground, but every cent paid
out had to be entered on the record
sheet, the prize being not only for the
boy who made the greatest crop, but al
the least cost.

FOR BUSINESS MEN.

Are the business men of this coun-
try awake? Do they realize that the
income tax already has been doubled
and that the light tax of one per is
to be two per cent and retroactive for
the whole of last year?
Do those engaged in small partner
ships or corporations realize that a
bill is pending to heavily tax all pro-
fits in excess of eight per cen on
capital invested and that this tax is
expected to yield a quarter Of a bill
lion dollars a year?
Does the small man in business
know that the new revenue bill now
being rushed through congress will
apply to all the partnerships and cor
porations having a capital of more
than 5 $4,000, which e nearly every
business man in the country.
DO the people realize that these
heavy burdens of new taxes are to be
imposed in time of peace and that they
take the place Of taxes formerly laid
on goods imported from other coun-
tries in competition with the products
OF our mills and factories?
Is it a pleasant prospect to shoulder
the burden that the foreigner used to
bear?
The need of craftsmanship at Wash
ingtOn was never greater.-Leslie's.
