So Important has ugriculture become to the nation's prosperity that Presi dent Itoosevelt recently 'appointed a commission to suggest men us to make the rural home more attractive and as sist in keeping young men on the farm. Many of the conveniences that add comfort to a city home could he in stalled In the country residence. The farmer possesses an advantage over the majority of residents In cities In that he owns his own home and is nominally the dictator of his surround ings. In cities dwellers are crowded Into apartment buildings for the want of space for private .residences and to secure economy In living expenses. The owners of apartment houses have in stalled steam heat, porcelain bath fix tures, gas stoves, electric lights, and maintain the apartments at great ex pense on account of the costly fixtures and the frequency of repairs. The ten ant forms no attachment to h!s home and is ready to change his resideuce when other apartments are discovered that more fully suit his fancy. In the country the rural home Is permanent and all Its Improvements are consummated with a view to the future as well as JIie present genera tion. In no other profession does the home dweller enjoy the work of his hands as In agriculture. If man is what he makes himself, so the rural home reflects the owner's Idea of beau ty and convenience. With the land pro ducing increased crops and agricultur al products selling at record prices the farmer can afford to adorn his home and Improve it with many modern and sanitary appointments. The water supply may come from a shallow, inconveniently located well and the supply may be contaminated by surface seepage containing the id I -crobes of typhoid fever and other dis eases. The water supply Is the great source of health, cleanliness and con venience on the farm. Tubular wells are permanent and of cheap construc tion and their depth furnishes living water free from germ diseases. With a windmill and tank the water can be piped Into the house at small expense mid a supply furnished at all times by turning the faucet. A hot-water heat er can be attached to the stove and hot water provided without additional "xpense for fuel. ' A With ample grounds a beautiful ,awn could easily be arranged with ornamental trees, flowers and shrub bery that would outrival the homes of flty dwellers. With the installation of modern conveniences at small expense rural homes can be made ideal for mm fort and thus stimulate content ment among the younger generation to follow the greatest of all professions. Trod lire Price Going IIlRlier, From the figures of a report by the bureau of labor there lias been ex traded the interesting fact that sale prices of nearly everything reached n higher level last year than at any time during the last eighteen years, and the farm produce leads all the rest. The bureau divides the 258 commod ities of the country into nine groups and farm produce showed the highest Increase In price attained by any of the groups. And the encouraging feat ure of the report Is that the panic of last year did not affect prices of farm stuff very much. In fact, taking every- thing sold, the farmer got more money In 07 than the average of ten vears before. Som farmers may not know' this, but It Is true, because Mr. Powderly's bu reau says so. Aside from the musty figures of a departmental report, the fact is evident that the fanners of this country are more prosperous than they have ever been. It Is shown In better houses, bigger barns, fatter bank ac counts, fewer mortgages, better ma chinery, and, more important than any tiling else, higher standard of living for the family. There Is one small fly in the oint ment, however, and that Is the fact that while farm produce has been rais Ing In price, clothing, Implements, lum ber and building materials, house fur nishing goods .and some other things farmers must buy have gone up, too. Put as these commodities have not kept pace with the advance In the price of things the farmers have to sell they may on the whole feel that they are gaining ground and that agricul ture is not to be despised.

Methods of handling the alfalfa crop from the time of seeding until it is in the barn in the form of well-cured hay are given by the Wisconsin Station bul letin. In brief, it is as follows: The best soil for alfalfa is a rich clay loam over a gravelly subsoil. It Is best'on well-cultivated soils. If the nitrogen forming bacteria are not in the soil the soil should be Inoculated. Spring sowing is the best. Where ground Is inclined to be weedy use a nurse crop, barley sown at the rate of three packs to the acre being the best. Thin seed ing of the nurse crop is preferable. Twenty pounds of alfalfa seed per acre is recommended. The year following the seeding three good crops of hay can be expected. Cut when about one-tenth of plants are in bloom and on a morn ing after the dew has disappeared on a day that promises fair weather. Cut stubble at least an Inch high. In the afternoon of the day cut, rake and put into small cocks. These cocks can be covered with light cotton duck caps and left until the hay is thoroughly-cured.

The wheels procured, any good blacksmith can make this, so that the truck is by no means dillieult to construct. It should be about 2 feet wide, 10 Inches deep nnd 4:2 feet long. Silage can be conveyed in it from the silo to the mangers very readily. If the silo is some distance away it will save much hard work, indeed. 1'red O. Sibley, in Ha riu and Home. To Kill Quack Gran. Quack grass Is sometimes known as Johnson grass, and also by other names. It Is useless to attempt to get rid of It after the land has been plant ed to a crop. Now is a good time to consider fighting it. Plow the land late In the fall, just before winter begins. Plow just deep enough to get under the roots, leaving as much of them as pos sible exposed to the frost of winter. These exposed roots wlil be destroyed. In the spring harrow or rake over the roots repeatedly, doing the work over and over again until almost every root is removed, and then plant the soil to potatoes or corn and give thorough cultivation.

Be an independent, self- reliant, new man, not just one more In dividual in the world. Do not be a copy of your grandfather, of your fath er, or of your neighbor. That is as foolish as for a violet to try to be like a rose, or for a daisy to ape a sun flower. Nature has given each a pecu liar equipment for its purpose. Every man is born to do a certain work in an original way. If he tries to copy some other man, or to do some other man's work, he will be an abortion, a misfit, a failure. Do not imitate even your heroes. Scores of young clergymen attempted to make their reputations by imitating Beecher. They copied his voice and conversation, and imitated his gestures and his habits, but they fell as far i short of the great man's power as the chromo falls short of the masterpiece. Where are those hundreds of imitators now? Not one of them has ever m.-olp any stir in the world Orison Swett Marden In Success Magazine. A aian AMeep. His mouth and vest were open, and he breathed like a second-hand bicycle pump, writes O. Henry iu his inimita ble way iu Everybody's. I looked at him and gave vent to just a few mus ings. "Imperial Caesar," says I, "asleep Iu such a way, might shut his mouth and keep the wind away." A niau asleep is certainly a sight to make angels weep. What good is all his brain, muscle, backing, nerve, in fluence, and family connections? He's at the mercy of his enemies, and more so of his friends. And he's about as beautiful as a cab-horse leaning against the Metropolitan Opera House at 12:30 a. m. dreaming of the plains of Ara bia. Now, a woman asleep you regajd as different. No matter how she looks, you know it's better for all bauds for her to be that way.

Conflicting Evidence, A learned judge was explaining the intricacies of evidence to a vouns friend, says the Washington Star, and gave the following story In regard to conflicting evidence. Usually, he said, one statement is far more probable than the .other, so that we can decide easily which to believe. It is like the boy and the house-hunter. The house-hunter, getting off a train at a suburban station, said to a boy: "My lad. I am looking for Mr. Smith son's new block of semi-iletaelied bouses. How far are thev from h. . "About twenty minutes' walk," the boy replied. "Twenty minutes!" exclaimed the house-hunter. "Nonsense! The adver tisement says five." "Well," said the boy, "you can believe me or you can believe the advertise ment, but I ain't tryiu' to make a sale." Divine Inspiration. Effie, the little daughter of a clergy man, pranced into her father's study one evening while the reverend gentle man was preparing a lengthy sermon for the following Sunday.
