Says Prof, L. H Bailey, of Cornell,
in an article on "a New England
Country road" in The Outlook: 1.-The
common notion that the agriculture
of New England is on the decline is a
myth. The agriculture is only chang
ing. Rural New England is prosper
ous. The highway from Springfield to
II srtford and Portland runs through
as thrifty country as one could hope
to see, and the one in 1ustry is farming.
It is not district of summer boarders,
nor of suburban r. S dence. The clean,
well titled fl lids, snug barns, ample
ard cozY houses, all beep9ak a happy
and prosperous people. These homes
have been paid for from the land, and
they are replete with comfort. No other
country can show such kingly farm
homes, in such numbers, as America.
There is a favor about these New Eng
land tarmsteads which suggests thrift,
frugajity, stability, contentment. Eco
nomic conditions have drawn people
together in the last two generations.
Cities have grown. Conditions are
slowly changing. People are desiring
to exbr C ate themselves from the city.
There is a percep:ible movement coun,
tryward. The country is improving
and civilizing The readjUs 5ment must
come"

The value of scientific knowledge
of the conditions which are met with
in agricultural pursuits is constantly
apparent. Secretary Wilson remarked
the other day that there seemed to be
dearth of available men in different
sections Of the country thoroughly un
derstanding soil conditions. He cited
the case of Saginaw, Michigan. In
the early agitation of the sugar beet
question the farmers near Saginaw
grew some samples of beets which
showed a high percentage OF sugar.
Coal was very abundant and capital
plenty and every thing seemed favor
able for the erection of a factory. Then
someone said that the river water
which must be used had too large a
percentage Of salt and this killed the
proposition. Now, it is found that the
river was maligned and so work is pro
crossing along the original lines, but
Saginaw has lost the advantage Of a
good start through an ignorance of
chemistry OF soils. A case has come
before the Department from Califor
MIA. An orchard of $500 acres was
set out, the intention being to irrigate
the trees from a lake. Agricultural
chemists analysed the water Of this
lake and stated that it contained too
much aIkali for the purpose intended
Nevertheless the planting went ahead,
and now the trees are dying and the
Department is appealed to to see if any
Ching can be done. In other sections
of the West lands are being ruined by
irrig alton, the alkRli in them being
brought to the surface by the very
irrigation necessary to plant growth.
Tne remedy here, the Secretary states,
has been found to be underdrainage.

The excellent work which is being
done by the Department of Agricul
ture in it's various branches is coming
to be very generally recognized, and
each particular line Of work or inves-
tigetion is at least to some extent
credited and appreciated by farmers,
growers or experimenters especially
interested that work. The Department
is now a pretty big affair and it's work
ings are as free from bias as any branch
of the government. This is as it should
be, as the work is mostly Of a technical
character, requiring special qualifica
tions and training. There is one divis
ion, however, whose praise is seldom
sung and whose employees seldom, if
ever, find their names in print, yet
whose work, could it be recogniz2 ed, is
seen in every published record Of an
experiment or discussion, or bit OF in
gtruction or advice, which issues from
The Department. This is the Office Of
Secretary Wilson's editor, presided
over by George VIM. Hlli-the Publ
cations Division. During the year
1898 five hundred and one publications

BLEEDING PILES

ing the simple means offered for a radi.
cal cure.
The failure of salves and ointments to
permanently cure piles has led many to
believe the only cure to be surgical
operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life and moreover not often entirely
successful and at this time are no longer
used by the best ply or recon-
mended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of plies, whether blind, bleeding or
protruding, Is to use the Pyramid Pile
Cure, composed of healing vegetable
oils, and absolutely free from mineral
poisons and opiates. The following
letter from Pittsburg gentleman, a
severe sufferer from bleeding piles, gives
some idea of the prompt effectua
char acter of this pile cure. He writes:

Ie SAMPSON NOT SELFISH.

WASHINGTON, March Ia. - Admiral
Sampson wrote letter to the president,
referring to the fact that he had recon-
mended certain officers for promotion,
and saying, in part:
.'Hitherto, Mr.. President, undisturbed
by any eager desire for advancement or
any other form Of reward for doing my
duty, l have not specially concerned my.

the conduct Of the West Indian naval
campaign to the utmost of my ability as
thoroughly as l was able, and If no re.
ward should come that could be salts
fed with the consciousness of having
done my best.
~ do not, however, anticipate that
dissatisfaction with any act or acts of
mine would cause the senate to with
hold from other officers promotion
which they have well deserved and which
has been promptly granted in similar
circumstances to others. l, therefore,
respectfully suggest, Mr.. President, that
your appointment of these officers about
whom there is no discussion should at
once be renewed in order that thoy may
thus secure their promotions under the
personnel bill to which they are entitled
and without creating confusion"
