DR.. and Mrs Will Farr have moved
into their new home on the park. DIR.
Farr has spent over two thousand dollars
on the property, making it one of the fin
est and most comfortable residences in
Kenosha. The rooms on the south side
OF the house have been very much altered
by tearing out partitions putting in mar
BILE mantels larger glass and very many
other improvements. Handsome marble
mantels have been placed in nearly all
the living and guest rooms in the house.
New paper of the finest quality and de-
signs has been used in decorating every
room in the house. 1t has been entirely
refurnished and now one would hardly
recognize the interior of the house as the
same place. Immense improvements
have been made in the grounds around
the property too. DR.. and Mrs. Farr are
to be congratulated on having an almost
ideal home now.
Last Friday morning the citizens Of
Kenosha were startled by the report that

he was in danger from heart trouble and

easily distinguished. He had a smile fCl
every one, was very affable and pleasant,
and was a we'll known and welcome
friend in many homes in KenOsha. He
was rs years of age at his death.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

When a pupil is absent from the public
school he is required to bring written
excuse from parent or guardian stating
the reason for the direliction The same
is required for any case of hardness.
1t is not that the teacher cares sou for
the reason; it is not through curiosity she
requires this, but only to insure regularity
of attendance. 1t gives the pupils no
chance of playing truant without news of
the same coming to the ears of the par
ents; and every earnest father and mother
wishes to keep track of their child and
feel sure that he is getting the greatest
possible good from the school
Not every person looks at it in this
light. Many people think they can keep
their children out of school and not be re-
quired to give an account of it to any
teacher in existence. The consequence is
that many queer excuses a.e sent to the
teacher.
Some show a spirit which is very COM
mendable, while others are somewhat (O.
And once in while we will find a young
ster who is ''boss" enough over himself to
write his own excuse but the eye of the
teacher detects his handwriting or, if his
''dear friend" should write it for him the
signature is not apt to correspond to that
on the monthly report, and then the pun
ishment for the offense will be ''doubly
worse"
A teacher takes much more interest in
pupil when perfect sympathy is felt be-
tween home and school, and when the pu-
pill knows that school discipline is en-
dorsed at home.
Good results alone can come when pu
pill brings such ali excuse as ibis:
Miss --:
Please excuse W for being absent.
He has been sick. [ hope he will be able
to make up what he has lost by his alb
sence. HIS FATHER.
Or when parent, upon receiving the
monthly report, writes;
Miss--
It is not from any lack of interest that
do not visit the school, but poor health
must be my excuse. [ can see that F.
improves right along. His monthly re-
port is very creditable to himself and
teacher. Yours,
MRS. ----
But when such an excuse as the follow
ing is sept out by a parent the teacher
smiles and muses. on the follies of man
If you want any notes wrote you will
have to get somebode ellis to do it be-
cause | am not going to write any notes
on account of Anne coming few minutes
late and l hope you don't send her home
on that account any more.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It has been quite
little while since / have presumed
upon your time and columns. You
will, therefore, allow me to inform
you that as our "csUse is just it is
but fair to conclude we are on the
boom, Notwithstanding our isolated
geographical situation. Some wonder
full things occur away down here, for
instance, Hon. John D. Parker, ex-
Representative of Perquimans county,
killed three hogs, on the I'd. inst,
weighing as follows: One three years
old, 833 pounds; one two years old,
6l3 pounds, and the other, two years
old, 592 pounds; total weight, 2,O3S
pounds which, l claim, cannot be
beaten in the State. Oh, yesl breed

laurels. | take this method of con-
graduating the brethren of the State
and United States upon their good
fortune in having two such trusty
" sentinels on the watchtower as our

A MOUNTAIN BROTHER WHOSE
HEAD IS LEVEL.

MARSHALL, N. G.
Mr.. EDITORIAL our meeting held
March lst, we tried to see what we
could do in the way of raising sub
scribers for your paper, The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, and in short
while we raised list of ten subscrib-
ers. This, Mr.. Editor, is our re-
sponse to your request in your paper
of February 18th.
Some time back we received a call
from our Trustee asking that we raise
about $50 for the State agency fund,
and in a few minutes we raised the
amount.
This is the way we do things in old
Madison when we are appealed to for
help in worthy cause. think every
Allianceman in the State ought to
read our State organ, for l notice that
those who read most are our warmest
members in the work, for how can a
man be interested in work he knows
nothing about, and now can he know
what the Alliance is doing and what
it aims to do unless he reads its liter
ature?
"Old Fogy's" articles in THE
FARMER are worth more than a dollar
a year to me, and l think it is time
"Old Fogy" was laying aside his fcti-
tious name AID going to work under
his real name, for we have got a use
for "Old Fogy;;" SO, Bro. Fogy,
please lay off your mask and let US
know who you are.
Yours fraternally,

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
OREGON.

Mr.. EDIToR:-As it has been quite
long time since I've written to the
chic; agricultural paper of the South
| thought a few more lines from this,
the Northwest part of the United
States, might not be amiss to manv
OF its readers. Spring with all it's
verdure in embryo is now upon us.
the whole valley is now as green as a
meadow, and stock are living without
any other feed upon these nutritious
grasses. Had very little snow here in
Willamette Valley this winter, mer.
curry at one time registered II degrees
above zero, which was our coldest
and while deep snow fell on the Cas-
cade and Coast mountains, we had a
very slight snowfall here in the Val.
ley. One to imagine our Valley or
draw picture of it must remember
the Willamette river flows the whole
length of the Valley which is about
fifty by one hundred and fifty miles,
and together with this river and it's
numerous tributaries, this strip of
country IS the best watered I've ever
seen anywhere, so far as soil is con-
cerned there is no better in the world.
We use no fertilizers here-never
was pound shipped into this country.
But some will naturally ask does fruit
do well in Oregon2 To this we
emphatically say it does, and in no
State have we ever seen finer fruits
of all kinds. Apples, peaches, pears,
plumbs, ounces, grapes, cherries,
straw berries, blackberries, raspberries,
currants and gooseberries and in fact
any kind of fruit and vegetables which
will grow and mature in temperate
climate. Then as to grapes we have
them in uperabundance The dairy
business is fine business here, and
pays well. Stock rising is a good
business in this Valley on account of
the great amount of pasturage and
abundance of good water. Poultry
business is a business which will yield
a large income on money invested if
properly handled. One can own even
small tract of lard and engage in :
this business and make money. Lands
can be had at reasonable figures with
plenty of living water on them, and
should any brother farmer wish to
hear more of this country,-and will
write me, inclosing stamps, I'll give
plain, candid and unvarnished an
swer. Fraternally,
