The Valley Junction Express, one OF
the leading county weekly papers, pub
lished at Valley Junction, is strongly
in opposition to the proposed change OF
election of county supervisors.
We have been electing them by
supervisor districts. but the change
suggested is to elect them from the
county at large and do away with the
supervisor districts. While we have
not. made a thorough investigation,
vet with the light we now have we be-
leive it better to do away with districts
and elect from the county at large, as
their jurisdiction extends over the
county. In several counties in the
state this method has been satisfactor
ally adopted.

WORK OF TIE TWENTY
FIRST SESSION.

The reading of Episcopal addresses
by Bishop Lee to the conference was
one of tho most important features
that came up for the consideration of
the conference. The addresses review
ed the progress of the church during
past quadrennium. The growth of the
church during the nineteenth century
in usefulness and influence has been
wonderful. He compared the date OF
the organization of the church of 1887
with $780,, from blacksmith shop to
5000 church edifiices; from no school
buildings than to 90; from AZ members
than to 763,7O6; the value of church
property from $4,000 to slo,3lo 1893
165 teachers, 5,257.pupils: 66o graduates
The church has raised for education
since 1884 to 1899 Sl,14O,O13.13. The
entire address was good also the rec.
concentrations of bishops, the appoint
ment of various committees, and subs,
committees and the report from the
head of each department; as we'll as
the discussion of some of the reports
by the conference, the seating of the
proper delegates, where there was a
contest, holding of the memorial
services in memory OF their honored
dead. The report of the Episcopal will
be watched with much interest by all;
as they will have the recommending
of the changes in the law, and the ap.
poir tments Of bishop to the districts

ANTI-BOER RESOLUTIONS.
At the Sunday evening service in the
Auditorium, Bishop Derrick of New
York introduced the following resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopt
ed:
Whereas, England is now engaged in
war with the Dutch, a people calling
themselves the beers, a people VINO
have, by grabbing, squatted in South
Africa and monopolized a large portion
of country and are now recognized as
nation; and,
Whereas, these people entertain the
badge Of inferiority to such exte Mt
that the native Africans or persons of
color are prohibited from all the RICH is
and privileges that any human being
may be allowed to exercise or to testi'
fy in court against q white man OF
woman; neither are they allowed the
privilege of enjoying the benefits Of
moneys derived by taxation for the
education of the youths of the country
although they are compelled to pay
their equal share into such fund, ane
many other ills too mum srous to men
ton. therefore,
: Resolved, that while we deprecatt
war between nations, yet we heartily
endorse the action of England in hel
efforts in teaching these misguided
the true lessons of our Christian civil
zatign.

How to stack Corn Fodder.

How best to stack corn fodder to
keep, and be handiest in getting at
when feeding, is often question
given much thought by the farmer.
This method possesses many advan-
tages that will recommend it above
others. Set two posts IL or 16 feet
apart where you wish the stack to
be. Across from one to the other,
four and half or five feet from the
ground, spike a 2X4. Stand the fod-
der against this, with the butts on
the ground and the smaller ends COM
ing together at the top. There should
be a space of two or three feet at the
bottom. This will give the rat, dog
and cat an opportunity to keep the
stack clear of mice. This stack will
turn the rain and snow of winter,
will keep dry and bright, and when
used will not be opened to the wealth
err, as no stocks are left exposed by
removing the top.-Farm Journal.

Cutting Corn Made Easy.

We would urge the farmer to use
some kind of sled in cutting his
corn, if he is not in position to
purchase binder. We used a, sled
last season with the very best of sue
cess, and found the home made sled
and manufactured sled both prac-
teal. We used them again this year
both in shocking our corn and cut
ting corn for the wagon in filing the
silo. We found last year that two
good men on sled could cut as much
corn for the silo wagons as any four
men we have heretofore employed.
If the farmer does not feel that he
can afford to purchase a cutter, he
can make one himself and use rum
ners. On the whole our sled on run
ners worked just as satisfactorily as
the manufactured sled. 1t draws no
harder than an ordinary one horse

TALK TO FARM BOYS.
I'm Which They Are Reared
Give Him Stability and Reso-
Lutte Character.

There is desire on the part of many
ployment in the city. There seems to
be sort of fascination in city life, be-
cause of the greater advantages in the
way OF amusements AMI education.
The farmer boys idea of city life is
that it is one of extreme enjoyment and
perfect contentment, and by compare
son he thinks his own q life of drudg-
cry. When he looks at and envies the
well-dressed city boy, he does not see
the temptations and evil influences
that surround him, nor think of the
effect of impure air and sedentary hab-
its upon the body. He is governed only
by appearances. The country boy is as
free as the birds of the air. He comes
under the most wholesome influences
and is not subjected daily to those aw-
full temptations which lead to corrup-
ton and degradation, those evil infiu-
ences which work their way SO quietly
and yet SO surely into ones life. He is
in a position to develop SOUND, body
and sound mind, and the conditions
under which he is brought up give him
stability and determination. He is ac-
customed to hard work, is permitted to
share some of the care and RESPONSE
bility connected with earning a liveli-
hood, and when thrown on his own re-
sources is able to meet the stern real
tiles of life face to face, without timid-
lty and without fear of shouldering
any burden which may be placed upon
him. He may not have the polish that
mental training gives, but he is ia
miliar with the practical affairs of life.
One may become familiar with the
sciences, may have technical knowl-
edge of the classics, and yet have to
rely on his talents for livelihood. The
one who becomes acquainted with the
fundamental principles of the ruling
forces of the world is building on SUBJ
stantial foundation. Upon the recog-
nized principles of right and wrong
hangs the success or failure of every
enterprise. The country boy is in. a
position to acquire practical knowl-
edge at small expense, which will be
more useful to him than any amount
OF ornamental learning. AS far as SUI
periority is concerned, it may be in
evidence in farmer as well as any
one. 1t is brought about, not by the
occupation, but by the organization Of
the faculties, the absolute adherence
to the universally recognized princi-
pies of right. If it falls to your lot to
be countrybred, be proud of the fact
and improve your opportunities, which
will bring you to the height of your
ambition.-E. D. Hougland, in Prairie
Farmer.

SUNBURN AND FRECKLES.
They Are Both Caused by Action Of
the Suns Rays and May Be
Prevented.

Both OF these affections are caused
by the action of the suns rays, but
why one person tans while another
freckles is not easy of explanation.
Both affections are said to be caused
chiefly by the chemical or ultraviolet
rays, but in the case of sunburn it is
probable that the heat also has some
effect.
The tan may come gradually, with
out any burn, after a succession of
slight and brief exposures to the sun
or to high winds, for wind will tan as
well as sunshine. Usually, however,
the city dweller gets well burned dur
ing the first few days of his vacation
in the country or on the water.
In severe cases the skin is red
slightly swollen and the seat of a
sharp, burning sensation; if the ex-
posure has been prolonged, or the
glare of the sun very intense, it may
be even blistered. After few days
the soreness and heat subsidies and
the red color gradually turns to
brown.
1t the burn is pretty severe, cooling
lotions, such as alcohol and water, di-
luted cologne water, solution of BIZ
carbonate of soda or lead water may
be applied, or the skin may be
smeared with cold cream, camphor
ice, zinc ointment, or a mixture of
lime water and oil. Some such appli-
cation as this, the sufferer being care.
full to keep out of the sun for a day
or two, will usually suffice, says the
Boston Budget.
If blisters form they should be
pricked with a clean needle at the
most dependent part, and when the
water has drained away they should
be covered with cloth spread with
one of the greasy applications just
mentioned.
Freckles occur usually on persons
of sandy complexion, especially
those with red hair. They are not
common in very young children, I'M
der six or eight years of age, or in
persons of middle or advanced life.
They usually come for the first time
in summer, and are less marked, or
even disappear in winter. Persons
who freckle do not tan as a rule.
Freckles, like sunburn, may be pre-
vented by the wearing of veil, pref
erably red or brown. Medical books
sometimes speak of removing freckles
by electricity or by touching each one
with drop of carbolic acid on glass
rod, but such severe remedies are
worse than the disease. The spots
will fade out more or less completely
in the winter and will disappear
wholly in time. In any case, they are
not particularly disfiguring.

the end bracing ceases to retain it's po-
sition the life of that fence ends, and
the best of fences are oftimes con-
demned for the sole reason that the
end bracing has been defective. In the
cut is shown system of bracing which
we do not think has as yet met it's peer,
and we believe if erected properly, will
give the best of service. The object held
in view in this plan is to obtain brace
that will not allow the end and sec.

Empty Barrels on the Farm.

Empty barrels will be found very
handy for keeping chicken feed in,
oats in the barn, etc., if a good cover
can be had on them. A good handy
cover is made in the following way:
Take one narrow board that will
cover one-third of the barrel top, nail
it on to one side firmly, cut off on
outside close to barrel. Then take a
wide board that will cover the re-
mainder of the barrel top. Place on
firmly and mark around on outside
of barrel, and cut off to fit nicely on
top. Fasten on back part of cover
with leather straps for hinges. If
the job be carefully done, neither
mice nor rats can get into the barrel
