No Industry has ejuiilod the pros
perity of ugrlculture the past decade.
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

Live stock husbandry Is becoming
more paramount In agricultural oper

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

"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

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
