Well based on the output 2 rule files are processed so that is correctly loaded.
Maybe you had no traffic that would match the signatures that you added, for testing purpose you could add a rather small signature that should match on all traffic.

Thank you Andreas for your response.
I'm sure that i have traffic that match my rule :
alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $HOME_SERVER 22 (msg:" SSH Access Attempt To Server 1"; classtype:attempted-admin; sid:1000001;)
When i copy my rules from local.rules to suricata.rules it works, i can see alerts in the logs file !!

Can you upload your config file and local rule file?
Must be something strange within the file I guess.

- File local.rules local.rules added
- File suricata.yaml suricata.yaml added
Here is the result that show that my config take into account local.rules : suricata -c suricata.yaml --dump-config :
napatech = (null)
napatech.streams = (null)
napatech.streams.0 = 0-3
napatech.enable-stream-stats = no
napatech.auto-config = yes
napatech.hardware-bypass = yes
napatech.inline = no
napatech.ports = (null)
napatech.ports.0 = 0-1
napatech.ports.1 = 2-3
napatech.hashmode = hash5tuplesorted
default-rule-path = /var/lib/suricata/rules
rule-files = (null)
rule-files.0 = suricata.rules
rule-files.1 = local.rules
classification-file = /etc/suricata/classification.config
reference-config-file = /etc/suricata/reference.config
i joined local.rules and suricata.yaml
Thanks in advance for your help

In your suricata.yaml the HOME_SERVER is missing the " char in the end.
