The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January 1875 requires prepayment on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish
ed. We have, therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all subscriptions. While
avoiding the losses, tardy payments and ex-
penses of collection incident to the credit sys-
tenn, we will be required to prepay the postage.
The change determined upon will, therefore
prove beneficial to both subscribers and publish
err. The former will be relieved of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled to simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it
No name aoiU be entered anleSs the Subscrip-
ton is paid for in Advance.
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails,
with statement of his account Many have
responded with remittances dischargng their
liabilities and paying in advance for the current
year. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do so without
further delay as after the first of January. 1915,
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those WHO have not paid in advance. The time
within which all in arrears can close up the bal
ances due and make an advance payment is am
pie, and we fatter ourselves that but few names
will be dropped.

What Happened in Oswego.

THE Oswego Times has good story to
tell, in connection with the literary piracy
In which Tie students III our cOIIeges and
academies indulge. The late ID. p. Page,
the first principal of the Albany State
Normal School, made one morning be-
fore the whole school remarks to the fol-
lowing purport: He said that few years
previous, while travelling in Massachu-
sets, his wife, at hotel, found an article
in a magazine which impressed her so ia
vorably that she copied it into her scrap
book. He read it at the time and had not
thought of it since until the evening be
fore, when the same article had been
handed to him by one of the students for
correction" as an original composition.
He sincerely regretted that among young
gentlemen and ladies, aspiring to the
honorable position of teachers, even one
should be found who would do so dishon~
orable thing as to try to pass of, as his
own or her own, the productions of
another, and his first impulse was to ex-
pose the fraud in open school. But he
presumed it was the first thing of the
kind that had occurred in that insti-
tuition, and as there might be extenIating
circumstances, he had concluded to
forgive the offender, provided that indi-
vidual should call at his room within
three days, confess the fault, and promise
not to repeat it. In this statement Mr.
Page gave no intimation as to the charac-
| ter Of the "piece," or the personality OF
the offender, and, before the expiration OF
the three days, more than two-thirds OF
| the students had called upon him, &C
knowledged the offense, and apologized
"and," said he, while relating the cir
cumstance, 'sthe right man did not come
at ALL" The story needs no comments,
and embodies Its own conclusions.

farming, touches up the hog question in
this style: ITO make Berkshire pigs out
of your hazel-splitters, select cool day,
stand them on their hams, tied to sap
ling, and drive their noses back into their
shoulders, leaving about an inch pro-
truding. If you look at the agricultural
papers, you will see that all blooded hogs
are fixed that way. If you have any
whose noses are longer than the rest of
the body, better sell them to an artesian
well company for drills, as you cannot
drive the nose back without telescoping
the whole pig. When you cut up hogs,
leave the ham square, leave some hair
too, salt eyerlastingly, and they will be
worth several cents less per pound than
when trimmed and cured so that a
Christian can eat them.n

Preserving and Planting Timber.

IT is due principally to the persistent
efforts of our Horticultural Societies that
the Importance of preserving our forests
has been prominent before the public.
1t is now generally allowed by meteorol-
Ogists that forests do exercise a very i'm
portant influence, not only upon the
weather, but, also, upon the water supply
of our rivers; for, while the annual evap-
Grafton from the earth and ocean is a
fixed quantity, its deposition varies with
the changed locality upon which it falls.
II the land wherein it falls be covered
with forests or long grasses, it is held,
penetrates the soil, feeds springs, or is
given back slowly. If, on the other hand,
it falls on a bare or partially denuded
surface it runs quickly away, often pro-
ducing terrible freshets, such as of late
years the country / as been visited with.
The late iamented Commodore Maury
in his address before the National Agri-
cultural Congress at st. Louis, Mo-, in
1872, on "Science and Its Application to
Agriculture, thus condenses the whole
subject in nutshell: every movement
that takes place in the atmosphere, from
the zephyr to the tornado, is raceable to
the sun He it is that pnmPs - g.
THO 500. YOUR mighty Mlssls-
sippi River, transports it through the air,
and showers it down upon your glad
hills and smiling valleys. The quantity
of heat annually dispensed by him to the
earth is constant. The dimensions of the
ocean are permanent The volume of
water annually taken up from it as vapor
and let down again as rain, hail, snow
and dew is also constant. But the guam
tity of it that is dispensed to you year by
year, is variable"
At the International Congress recently
held at Vienna, to take into consideration
the best means for the preservation of
forests, representatives being present from
the United States, Germany, France,
Belgium, Italy, Holland and Hungary, ii
was reiterated that many of the large
rivers of Europe were constantly dimin-
ishing their volume of water 1t was
demonstrated that the cutting down of
forests had permanently lowered the Elbe
to great degree within the last fifty
years. That Is had rendered drouth peri
odical in Hungary, that it had reduced
the products Of Greece to an incalculable
extent, and that it had seriously affected
the fertility of Sicily and Sardinia.
Various streams, as the Rhine and Oder,
were cited as showing the resultant effects
on streams from the denudation of forests
In Palestine, where the destruction OF
forests had been excessive, the effects
were especially noticeable in the drying
up of springs, etc.
On the other hand, and it is really OF
value to US of the West, facts were pre-
sented showing that the planting of forests
in Austria and Italy had produced
] beneficial effects in inducing rain and

consequent fertility, and now that the
planting of forests, as a means of produc
ing more equal rainfall, and of modify
ing the climate of a country, is Endorsed
by the conclave of savants of Europe and
america, we suppose that those who have
cOmbated the idea heretofore will now
fall into line and insist that "they always
told you So"
The demand for Seeding forest trees for
planting has been steadily increasing for
the last three years. The inhabitants of
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska
are especially. realizing the benefits of
forest planting, though originally forced
into 1t by the scarcity of timber for Geo.
nomical purposes.
When this planting shall have become
general throughout the new States of the
Far West, all will learn, as many of us
have known for years, that the planting or
conservation of one-fifth to quarter of
the area of country with timber will
render the cultivation of many plants
profitable that are now exotic and impos-
sible. 1t willso modify our climate that
we shall no longer be subject to the terri
bic storms that now periodically, and
with increasing violence, devastate the
West.
A single tree planted exerts its own dis
tlnct influence in modifying climate or
protecting crops. 1t is small it is true,
but, nevertheless, distinct. The Western
Rurdt has often advised the planting of
trees along the wayside, and upon tracts
OF land difficult of cultivation, and it re-
iterates the advice heretofore given, that
there is no better heritage that the heads
of family could leave their children
with the farm, than an apple grove of
growing trees. Western Ratqul

MEDICAL ADvERTIsING.-The medical
profession are outspoken in their denun-
citation of the system of medical advertis-
ing, and declare that any medicine that is
advertised is fraud. How thoroughly
inconsistent and unfair is such an argu-
ment. The men who are so loud in their
criticisms, are those who advertise them
selves as medical s00Gns by ostentatious
display; splendid residences with massive
door-plates; fast horses and costly car
riages. DR.. J.WALKER, of California, an
old practitione, respected alike for his
skill and conscientious independence,
dares to differ; and having discovered in
his VINEGAR RrTTERs purely herbalistic
medicine, free from all spirituous pois-
ons-a wonderful specific for numerous
disorders, advertises the same for the re-
lief of his fellow man, and is borne out in
his declarations of its many virtues by
thousands of invalids, who are being
cured of disease by its use. ~
