So Important has agriculture become to the nation's prosperity that Presi dent Roosevelt recently appointed a commission to suggest means to make the rural home more attractive and as sist In keeping young men on the farm. Many of the conveniences tbat add comfort to a city home could be In stalled In the country residence. The fanner 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 beat, 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 residence when other apartments are discovered that more fully suit his fancy. In the country the rural home Is permanent and all its improvements are eonsumnia'e I with a view to the future as well ts the present genera tion. In no other profession does the home dweller enjoy the work of bis hands as iu agriculture. If man is what he makes himself, so the rural Lome 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 mi 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 :tre permanent and of cheap construc tion and their depth furnishes livin water free from germ diseases. With t windmill and tank the water can be piped into the house at small expense and a supply furnished at all times by turning the faucet. A hot-water heat er can he attached to the stove and hot water provided without additional xpense for fuel. With ample grounds a beautiful awn could easily be arranged with irnamental trees, flowers and shrub bery that would outrival the homes of ity dwellers. With the Installation of modern cniiveiiiciicrs at small expense rural homes can he made ideal for . .in fort niul thus slimuhite content cent aiiM.ng f'e .v. -anger generation t f..i!.

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 1907 than tne average or ten years before. Som farmers may not know this, but it is true, because Mr. Towderly's bu reau says so. Aside from the musty figures of a departmental report, the fact is evident that the farmers 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 thing 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 iu price, clothing, implements, lum ber and building materials, house fur nishing goods and some other things f:t r mors must buy have gone up, too. Hut 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. IlnmllinK Alfalfa' Crop. Methods of handling the alfalfa crop from the time of seeding until it Is In the barn In the form of weU-cured hay are given by the Wisconsin Station bul letin. In brief, it is as follows: The liest 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 iseed 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 he expected. Cut when about one-tenth of plants are In bloom and 011 a morn ing after the dew litis 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. To Kill quark Grui. Quack grass is sometimes known as Johnson grass, and also by other mimes. It Is useless to attempt to get rid of it after the laud has been plant ed to a crop. Now Is a good time to consider fighting it. I'low the land late ia tho fall, just before winter begins i'low 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 wiil be destroyed. Iu 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 cul tivation. Value of I'nrm ProiluclJi. There are about T.irtHHiPO farms In the I'nited Slates. In i:07 the value of the products from these farms was $",112.ni!0.ii(in. The average for each farm is about Sl.O.'.S. This means gross products whether consumed on the farm or oid in the market. llilp In Die I'arm Home. When ihrough using a tool, or ma chine, p'l! it up.

Let us pause in life's pleasures And count its many tears While we all sup sorrow with the poor; There's a song that will linger Forever in our ears "Oh! Hard Times, come again no more." cnoRrs. Tis a song, the sigh of the weary 'Hard Times, Hard Times, come again 110 more: Many days you have lingered around my cabin door ; Ob ! Hard Times, come again no more. While we seek mirth and beauty, And music lielit and cay. There are frail forms fainting at the door; Though their voices are silent, Their pleading looks will say: Oh! Hard Times, come again no more." 'Tis the song, etc There's a pale droon'ng maiden Who works her life away, With a worn heart whose better days are o'er ; Though her voice would be merry, 'Tis sighing all the day : "Oh ! Hard Times, come again no more. Tis the song, etc. 'Tis a sigh that is wafted Across the troubled wave; 'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore; Tis a dirge that is murmured Around the lowly grave "Oh ! Hard Times, come fcgain no more. 'Tis the song, etc. -Stephen C. Foster. Go AVhcre Glory Walls Thee. Go where glory waits thee, But while fame elates thee, Oh ! still remember me. When the praise thou meetest To thine car is sweetest, Oil ! then remember me.

When at eve thou rovest By the star thou lovest, Oh '. then remember me. Think, when home returning, Bright, we've seen it burning, Oh ! thus remember me. Oft as summer closes, When thine eye reposes On its lingering roses, Once so loved by thee, Think of her who wove them, Her who made thee love theui, Oh ! then remember me. When, around thee dying, Autumn leaves are lying, Oh ! then remember me. And. at night, when gazing On the gay hearth blazing, Oh ! still remember m". Then, should music, stealing All the soul of feeling, To thy heart appealing, Ih-aw one tear from thee; Then let memory tiring thee Strains I used to sing thee Oh ! then remember me. Thomas Moore.
