Scientific methods of fanning and im proved live stock have greatly Increased the revenue of the farms In all parts of the country. The land has been cultivated to yield increased crops, and prices have ruled uniformly high and stable. While other Industries feel the effects of the financial depression, the soil continues to yield bountiful har vests and values hold Ann In contrast with depressed business activities. The government estimates that the value of the agricultural products of 1908 will total the enormous sum of $8,500, 000,000. Farmers have Invested approximately In agriculture $Zr1000,000,0(jO, which yields a gross Income of 30 per cent on the Investment, according to the es timate of the value of this season's output. In some localities where farm lands are cheap the gross return Is u--ward of 100 per cent on the Investment, and fanners are able to pay for their land with a single crop. It is esti mated that there are 0,000,000 farms in the United States that are putting on the market annually an output valued at $8,500,000,000. It Is the leading In dustry of the country, and its pros perity has had an ameliorating effect on the late financial panic. The farm ers are the only representatives of nn Industry who are not materially af fected by the current dull times. Live stock husbandry Is becoming more paramount In agricultural oper ations. The assessed valuation of the horses, mules, cattle, sheep and hogs In the I'nited States now totals $4,.'W1, li'lO.OOO. Hairy products now equal the combined value of wheat and oats. The value of eggs and poultry equals the j II Pr to strum Fodder. Fodder can be made much more pal a table by moistening the mass with live steam. A barrel or hogshead with a little steam nine run from a small feed cooker will do for one to half a dozen head of cattle, but for feedin on a large scale the following plans will show how to build a cooker of sufficient capacity: The shed should be only large enough to house the steamer. There Is a small door In the end next to the fire-box beside the bolller. The bins on the sides should be large enough to steam an ample supply for each day's feeding. The bin Is filled one day before using and steamed thor oughly, but not enough to make It sog gy. It should 1k allowed to cool and then fed the next day. The bin should be provided with hinged lids. The steam pipes are run COOKKR FOR STEAMING FODDER. from the steamer to the bottom of the bins, where they are connected with more pipes to give an equal dlstrlbu tlon of steam. The pipes inside the bins are pierced with one-elghth-lnch holes six Inches aiart to allow the steam to es cape. To preserve the bins they should be lined, bottom, sides, top and lids, with zinc. Cellar for Itootn and Vegetable Hoot cellars are usually built half below and half above the level of the ground.

"If there Is one thing I hate." re marked Mr. Jones, "it Is after-dinner speeches. Well, once I found myself at a big banquet, where I knew very few of those present. To my amaze ment and horror, toward the end of the festivities, the toastmaster fixed his eyes upon me. " 'We have with us to-night I heard the old, hated formula roll out unctuously from his lins and then my own name 'Mr. Jones, the well known,' etc. "The toastmaster concluded, but I made no move to get on my feet. I felt paralyzed; my tongue was seeking to climb through the roof of my mouth "And then the guests, from all sides, began yelling: 'Yes, Jones, Jones! which Is Jones? where is Jones?' "A brilliant idea came to me. Sit ting close beside me was a little man who dearly loved speechifying. Like a flash I jumped to my feet. 'Jones? Why, here's Jones!' I cried, and clapped the little Demosthenes on the shoulder. Then I yanked him to his feet, murmuring in an ominous sotto voce: ! 'Don't give me away; speak now!' "He snoke. And. in the guise of myself, he made a most successful little oration. There was loud ap plause and much shouting of 'What's the matter with Jones? He's all right!'

"Well, son," she temporized. perhaps Jimmie's mother will tell him the joke some time soon, and then " "Oh, I hope she will," broke in Jackie, forgetting his manners in his earnestness, "because, you know, if she don't, when Jimmie has little boys of his own they won't ever get any Christmas presents."

The girl who wants to be beautiful must sleep with fresh air, plenty of it, in her room, blie must go out ami revel in the sunshine. She must find plenty of laughter in her daily life.
