Dallas News The tendency to say
terse and pregnant things like the
above is very noticeable in American
journalists Of the present era, u tenden-
cy which IL not carried out MS fully as
1t might be in the heavy editorials and
The news columns of the same journals.
The above saying however, is one
which Is worthy of personal applca-
ton to business matters. Thus there
are many advertisers whose motives are
all right, but who have no we'll defined
purpose in addressing their customers,
who always have purpose, clear we'll

the advertiser il visited. 1t should be
the purpose Of every advertiser to
awaken special desires; to suggest def
nitely seasonable or desirable goods;
TO show the specific advantages of
certain novelties, and, in short, to
awaken and inculcate in the mind of
the buyer settled purpose to purchase
the goods advertised, and no other.

the majority of farmers or breeders

unshelled by the majority, and stall
feeding is only occasionally practiced.
Very few foods outside of corn and pas

reports" and his field would be cut
that day. The next morning 1t was
raining, and for Ave days thereafter 1t
rained. My clover was uncut and
saved; my neighbours crop was ruined.
How many others were misled by the
fatal brightness of that morning, or
what the loss was don't know.
A careful study Of the weather re-
ports has shown me that over 50 per
cent. Of the prognostication given by
the Weather Bureau are correct, We
farmers have as much right to have
this information delivered to us in the

Yield Per Acre.

The farmers of the United States pro-
duce less per acre than farmers in Eu-
rope, and this means at a greater pro-
portiOnate expense, as double crops can
sometimes be grown for the same out
lay of labor 1t costs no more to plow
an acre Of land that produces twenty
five bushels of wheat than for twelve,
and nearly the same proportion of la
Dor must be bestowed upon harvest
ing the smaller field as the larger. 1t
is by compelling the land to produce
more per acre that the farmer must in
the future increase his profits.

Improving Meadows and Pastures.
In most meadows and pasture fields
are patches Of greater or less extent
that are not nearly rs productive as the
remainder of the field. though the on
tire surface is uniformly seeded. These
unproductive places are usually knobs
or hillsides, from which the fertility of
the soil has been exhausted by washing
or cropping During autumn they can
easily be located and brought back to
state of fertility. First apply good
seeding of timothy, or other grass seed,
and then cover the entire surface half
an inch or more deep with Well-rOtted
barn yard manure or heavy sowing
of commercial fertilizer, passing over
the spots several times with spring
tooth or other harrow. The early fall
rains will cause the seed to terminate.
and the whole surface should present Il
healthy green appearance before win
ter sets in. Frequently II field that has
been into grass for many years is well
set with moss in which case scatter
seed over the surface, apply some rich
manure, and harrow until the surface
looks ragged, thus laying the fouuda-
ton for an increased growth of herb
age, and all at small expense, without
replowing the field. These bare spots
are not ut all pleasant to look at, and
do not speak we'll for the farmcr.--Or.

Water Vegetables.


In China many of the shallow pools
have their bottoms planted with edible
lilies, lotus water chestnuts, water
spinach and other vegetables which
thrive in marshy lands. These grow
rapidly, and in the warmer sections
produce more than one crop each year
1t might be wise to try some Of these
water vegetables in this country, as
they will furnish greater variety of
food than already exists here.

KANSAS STATE NEWS.
Kansas Logs,

Kansas is sending an unusually large
quantity OF walnut timber to market
ust now. Some say it is on account
Il hard times; others, that is the nat
iral consequence OF demand. But no
natter what the cause, it is fact that
scarcely an east bound freight train
goes through over the Santa Fe and
loads east Of it, that does not contain
one or more cars loaded with walnut.
The walnut is cut from the valleys
of all the larger streams east Of the Ne
osho and south OF the Kaw Within 70.
,eut years, until the woodman "got his
work in" there was not river or creek
valley OF any Importance in the south
eastern quarter Of the state that did not
contain a growth Of marketable young
walnut timber, and the larger valleys,
like the Neosho and lower Kaw, yielded
great forests Of it. The latter we're cut
out dozen years ago, but lately the
growth along dhe smaller streams has
been large enough to hew into timber,
and from this source the supply is now
coming.
Along the south side of the Kaw, be-
tween Kansas City and Topeka, there
are still some large trees and many
smaller ones, In this valley and also
in tho valleys Of the Neosho, Verdigris
and Walnut, besides growing trees, are
thousands Of old walnut stumps, which,
since the wood has become scarce, are
and men find it profitable to
dig them out, dress them, and ship
them to market. The timber is loaded
upon coal cars, first dimension logs,
squared and hewn OF bark,
and on top the pile stumps, including
Jhe larger roots. 1t goes from Kansas
10 Chicago by rail; thence by the lakes
and the st. Lawrence TO the seaboard,
and across the Atlantic to France, where
It is manufactured into veneer. Little
Of the Kansas supply is obtained east
of the Santa Fe's north and south lines,
but the Rock Island hauls a great deal
put of Oklahoma.

THE japanese Minister Of State
for Education lately delivered a
most valuable and thoughtful ad-
dress TO congress Of prominent
teachers. His Excellency first
dwelt OH the importance Of physical
education, and observed that in or
der to increase country's power IT
is essential that the nation be ro-
bust and healthy. He could not
but regret to see that matters re-
lating TO physical culture and hy-
giene were not considered so
important by the japanese as
by Europeans and Americans.
Turning TO the subject Of female
education, the Marquis remarked
that in order to bring up nation
well, woman's help must be called
in, and that il Is on this account that
female education is thought SO much
Of IL the West. As to the study OF
foreign languages, His Excellency
hoped that educationalists would
encourage this branch more earn
estly than hitherto. The inter-
course between Japan and other
countries was becoming gradually
more and more intimate, and the
necessity Of introducing foreign
inventions and 80 forth being felt
with greater force than ever, the
importance Of acquiring foreign
languages has also increased.
The saying Of celebrated French
cducatlonalist must always be borne
in mind, namely that those that
place undue confidence in their
country and neglect to acquaint the
people with the affairs Of other
lands cannot be regarded as the ma
tons true friends.
