When sleep Is soundest.

"The popular idea or impression is
that when persons dream much during
Il night to that extent their sleep is in
terfered with" remarked a well-known
physician to Star reporter, land IL is
a frequent thing to hear persons say
that they dreamed so much during the
night that they did not sleep or rest
well. Now, the fact Is, dreaming Is as
much rest or mental recreation as actu-
al sleep in some respects, although IT
may not appear so on first thought. 1t
Is hard to prove this by actual expert
ment, because the conditions are so
difficult to produce. There Is n certain
amount of evidence which can be used,
however, to prove the proposition
Time and time again when persons
have been walked up by others they
have explained as n reason that they
did not respond quicker that they did
not hear the call. 1t Is as clearly proved
as anything can be that persons who
are in dreamy condition are much
harder to wake than those who are
sleeping, as they suppose. soundly-
Take a parent. for instance a mother,
when she Is sleeping soundly, as she
thinks, she can hear her child when 1t
turns over or moves In its crib. Now
the same parent in dreamy condition
would hardly hear a knock at the door
or other loud noise. The dream so con
trolls the brain that during its tendency
the sense of hearing is blunted." -

in Mexico City is very marked from
year TO year. Even six years ago a
stranger found it difficult to do much

Lester Stewart is the author of "The
Soldiers OF the Queen" song which
is now on every ones lips in England.
Concerning it, he said recently:
THE funny thing about the song is
that originally | wrote 1t as "A satire: if
wasn't at all the patriotic song it has
since become. II came ont in the Ar
lists Model and it fell nat. The public
wouldn't stand the satire. No wonder
! Withdrew and rewrote It, | felt sure
| had good inspiration In the tune.
and now think my belief has proved
right. OF course, | am very grateful to
Queen Victoria for having diamond
jubilee at the right time. That began
It's popularity, and now | tell myself
that 1t has become The Marselllaise'
Of England"

comes a matter Of necessity that all

yellow color. says HDard's DaIryman.
So far as deaths having ever ensued
from the eating Of butter that has been

Butter is colortd simply as a matter
Of taste. because in summer. when feed
Is green. all butter Is yellow. II does
not make poor butter good batter. The
ooloTing has nothing whatever TO do
with the question Of quality. No man
need be persuaded to buy poor butter
for good because IL is yellow. Quality
In butter is not judged BY the eye. but
by the taste and smell so color has
nothing to do with quality. but has
much TO do with another department
OF value. that of appearance to suit the
eye of the customer.
The aim of the dairymen and all
consumers who do not Wish TO be
swiHdled into buying 0leomargaTins
when they call for butter. is to force
oleomargarine. by the strong arm OF
the law. to appear in the market and
elsewhere in its own distinctive color,
which is white, or nearly so. Then,
u the poor want 1t as a cheap. substI-
tute for butter, they can buy IL for
what II is worth. Public sentiment
and understanding is fast coming to
see the integrity. fairness and wisdom
Of such a purpose.
The boarding house or restaurant,
keeper who puts white butter on his
table is lacking in good business sense.
No deaths. nor even sickness. have
ever occurred. TO our knowledge. from
eating butter colored by any form OF
color.
The sooner all butter comes on the
table in yellow attire sz- all substi-
tutes are forced TO appear uncolorei.
the quicker will justice be done TO tos
consumer and the dairymen.

II. A. Aldrich said In part: When
ever an orchard overbears It is in
jured for long time. After an OK
chard comes into bearing. no p!ow
should be put into 1t. II Is better to
cultivate 1t by means OF n cut ava"
harrow. and follow that by smooth
ing harrow. Young trees not in bear
ing should be plowed deep. or =
inches. That will compel the root'
to strike deeper. Trees SO treated se'
SO well rooted that they can't na
blown over. We should not grow hay
In an orchard. as the grass will always
take the cream OF the land and the
trees will get nothing but the skim
milk. Trees In sod suffer from drouth,
and the sod is harbor for all kinds
of insects. borers especially. When an
orchard comes into bearing. give II
the whole ground. II your orchard Is
not profitable do not lay all the blame
on II. The question is asked. Does
spraying pay?" There is no longer
any doubt on that point. II costs only
to l5 cents tree to spray.
Q.-At what time should We spray
Mr.. Aldrich.-Three times: Just be-
fore the blossoms open: Just after the
petals have fallen: and two weeks
later.
o.-Do you apray your trees before
they come into bearing!
Mr.. Aldrich.-The sooner you begin
to spray the better. Begin the same
year you set them. and keep Il up. so
that when they commence to bear you
won't have any scab to night

OF great value TO the farmer. and the
latter should not be backward in avail
Ing himself OF the opportunities pre-
sented. A number OF grass plots should
exist on his farm. and in these should
be grown the grasses best reported OF
for his locality. Our practices OF grass
growing are bound to undergo a radl-
cal change: and the future will no
more see us sticking to the two or
three kinds Of grasses now being
grown than the present sees us grow
ing the potatoes and cabbages that
were favorites with our grandfathers.
Different grasses use different con-
stituents in the soil. and on exhausted
grass land It may prove possible to
substitute n new variety for an old va
riety with advantage. Some OF the new
grasses have been brought from lands
subject to great extremes q heat ana
cold and of drouth. and will prove es-
pecially serviceable on lands that are
SO mechanically constructed that they
yield readily to drouth conditions. Prog

An Agricultural Department for Iowa
A bill introduced by Senator Harri-
man to establish department of agri-
culture is now pending In the Iowa
legislature and there are strong prob
abilities that 1t will be passed as II
has the backing OF a good many mem
bers of the assembly and tho people
and press are generally favorable to
1t. II Is proposed to consolidate under
the one organization all the state
boards and bureaus related to agricui-
ture. This would give 1t the super
vision OF the district and county fair
societies. the weather and crop service.
the farmers institutes. and the state
veterinary and dairy and food COM
mission departments. II would be
managed by a board Of which the gov
esnor. the president of the Iowa State

commissioner and the state veterina-
rian would be members eS-ofiicio. Tho
regular membership would be made up
Of directors. one from each congress

the officers would be chosen As there

OF course We recognize the fact that
for hay to be sold in the market It will

of hay in the city is not inclined to
experiment with new kinds of hay. at
least not unless he can get the new
kind at very much lower price. But
the farmer himself is not thus circum-
