RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
Oniy Question of Time when II
WIN he Generally EstabIiahcd.

Oniy "A Question of Time when II
win lie Generally Established.
For some time the government has
been making a trial of free rural mail
delivery in 20 states on "A different
routes. These routes were located in
widely-scattered districts, differing
from each other in general character
as far as possible. The mountain dis
tricts of Arkansas, the back country dis
tricts of the middle west, the negro set
Elements Of the south, the farming dis
tricts of other states-all kinds of terri
tory were covered in order to give the
plan a thorough test. Perry Heath, who
has had the supervision of the trial,
says in his report that, according to
the varying conditions of the country
trayersed, the rural carriers perform
their service on horseback or riding in
buckboards bugeies, two-wheeled carts
or on bicycles. In some states they have
to cross farms and pull down bars and
ride over fields 20 deliver and collect
their mails In no instance has any
serious complaint been made of this
invasion of private rights. On the con-
trary, the cooperation of the communi-
ties served has in every instance been
effectively and cheerfully given. The
farmers, at their own cost, have put up
boxes at the crossroads and at all other
convenient places for the reception OF
the mails. The general results OBJ
tanned have been so satisfactory as to
suggest the feasibility Of making rural
delivery a permanent feature of postal
administration in the United States, not
Immediately or in all districts at once
but in some graduated form.
From this time OH, therefore, we may
expect to see a movement for the per.
manent establishment of such a system
The appropriation for the experiment
was only intended to cover it as such
and for any further development of the
system other provision will have to bt
made. This provision will naturally BIZ
gradual, inasmuch as the establishment
Of the system throughout all the rura
districts at once would entail an enor
nous expense. But it has been provet
that the plan is feasible and that j
meets a demand. Therefore it is only
question of time when it will be gen
orally established.-Da Dakota Field anc

PLANT SUGAR NAPLES.
Every Farmer Cnn Grow His Ow'
Supply of Sugar.

Every Farmer Can Grow His own
Supply of Sugar.
Should we plant maple groves? There
can hardly be two opinions on this sub
iect. The beet sugar industry is prob
lem, but the maple sugarindustry never
was a problem. 1t pays better than
three-fourths of our farm work. Al
eight cents a pound maple sugar finds
ready market, while much of the better
product sells at ten and twelve cents.
The sirup is sold by producers directly
to consumers at one dollar a gallon
very rarely at less than 50 cents
Throughout New York, New Jersey
Pennsylvania and other states this di-
rect sale to consumers takes up large
part of the product, excepting only two
or three counties of northern New
York But it is not just now as a mar
ket product that the subject should be
mainly considered. Every family is a
sugar consumer and a sugar buyer,
Most farmers can make the larger part
of this sugar supply as easily as they
can raise their own potatoes. A family
Of six or seven will consume from one
to two barrels of sugar in a year. Gran
ulated sugar will cost such family
from SIS to $50 a year. A grove of 50
trees will produce from 200 to ESQ
pounds of maple sugar. That is, where
the trees stand in the open. The prod
uct is less where the sugar is made
from trees in the forest. This is equiv
alcnt to at least half the family's re-
quirements for sugar But the sales
of sirup will make an aggregate value
per tree even higher a grove of sc
trees standing in the open will occupy
not more than quarter of an acre
Besides the sugar product, the grove
is advantageous for shade, also for an
enormous product of humus each fall
and for windbrCaks and shelter, and as
an equalizer of temperature and mois
ture. Maple trees should grow in {
grove. They do not thrive well as
street trees, where they are subject t
much abuse of the saw and exposure O
the trunk to hot sunshine. 4 grove
might well be given place on every farm
of 20 acres. Why shall there not be ;
general planting of maple groves dur
ing the spring of 1S0S?-N Y. Tribune

A DOCTORS DIRECTIONS.
They save a daughter
from blindness.

When father writes that yours is the
best medicine in the world" you can
allow something for seeming eXtrava-
gance in the statement If you know that
the medicine so praised, cured loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
Orrick, Mo, writes in these strong terms:
"Dr. Ayers Sarsaparii1a Is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had a
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind,and was obliged
to remain in a dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM
pletely."
The thousands of testimonials to the
value Of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over again, in one form or another
the expression: THE doctors gave her
no relief; one Of them directed me to
give her DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla. Two
bottles completely cured her"
1t is a common experience TO try Dr..
Ayers Sarsaparilla as last resort. 1t is

ARE NOT A LUXURY.
WeII-Made Highways Are Really
Among the Necessities.


Among the Necessities.
The road commissioner of New Jcr-
sey, Mr.. Budd, points out that it costs
three cents a bushel to haul wheat on a
level road a distance of five miles, and
at least nine cents to haul it the same
distance on a sandy road, which goes
to illustrate the practical economic i'm
rortauce of good roads, This is a point
which deserves the serious attention OF
farmers, Sandy and rough roads are
wearing out their horses and vehicles
and increasing the actual cost of their
farm supplies aud Of the marketing OF
their produce. Though little recog
nized, this is a fact most potent to the
careful observer, and most pointedly
and truly expressed in Mr.. Budd's re.
port. When this fact penetrates the
minds OF farmers more generally they
will begin ia realize that money and
labor expended on road improvement
will save money for them in reducing
the actual cost Of hauling and in saving
vehicles and horses.
It is high time to dispense with tn,
idea that good roads are luNuries, mcr,
fancy frills, and to regard vell-mad,
highways as among the necessities. %

a common experience to have DR.. Ayers
Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physician,
1t is a common experience TO see COM
plete cure" follow the use Of a few bottles
Of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, it is a specific for all forms Of
blood disease. If a disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood, DR.. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly on the blood, re-
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of DR.. Ayers sarsapa-
rilla is the radical cures that result from
its use. Many medicines only suppress
disease they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical compounds but the
disease RACES in the veins like peut-up
FIRE, and some day breaks out in a vol
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root It
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. It makes the root good and
the fruit is good. It gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the broken
down Constitution-not to brace it up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

JACK SCOTT
KILLS HIS WIFE
A IS CaHbre Gun the WesDou

HE THEN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

At 8 O'Clock last night Joe Lit
tleJohn rode into town from the
Hardscrabble, about I miles south
east of Florence, after a doctor
and an officer for man and n wo-
man who had been shot. DR..
Baker and Constable AL Harris
Immediately won't to the scene of
the atFray, which was at the ranch
of Jack Scott, who had shot his
wife through the body, with 45
calibre gun, the bullet penetrating
about three inches beneath the
right arm pit, and making its exit
between the third and fourth ribs
on the right side.
When the doctor and constable
arrived they found Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott both on the floor of the
.rQom, he with one arm under her
head and with the other hand was
fondling her face and breast. Her
heart was still beating when the
doctor got there but ceased soon
after John Scott, Jr., the son of
the wounded man heard the shoot
ing from outside the house. and
went in just in time to see his
mother fall, and took the gun
away from his father, it is said.
Scott then tripped his son, who
arose and left for their neighbor,
Mr.. Littlejohn's, who came to Flor
ence to summon assistance. Scott
got hold of razor and attempted
to cut his own throat, but evident
ly weakened for he only scratched
nlmseII srIgutry. ne drso ruyr a
bullet wound in his left thigh. He
made no attempt to escape, and
after all was done that was pos
sible, Scott was placed under ar
rest and taken to Canon City last
night.
Post mortem examination and
the inquest will be held at 3
O'Clock this afternoon, at which
some interesting testimony is ex-
pected.
Mr.. Scott and his wife have not
been on intimate terms for some
time, but not long ago one of their
sons was killed by lightning, and
Mr.. Scott came home from Grip
pie Creek. They recently have
had trouble in the courts over
team. 1t is supposed that Scott
is not in his right mind.
