Every farmer who has not had the
advantages of a course at an agricul
tural college should read it. and should
also sac that his boys read it, We be
lieve it would pay any farmer to do
without a Dew plow if necessary in
order to purchase this book. 1t is time
to get out Of the old ruts; time to quit
planting corn and killing hogs Tin the
moon" time to quit letting timothy
hay go to seed because it lasts longer
time, in short, to learn that farming is
as much @ business as banking and the
progressive farmer must study his
business Just as toe banker does. This
book helps those who read it to do these
thiDga; helps them to get into the u
rent OF progressive agriculture.

General E. C. Harrison. the govern

directing the work on the experimental
road from Washburn college to Sea-
brook, said in regard . the good roads
movement:
Everybody wants goods roads, the
ladies do, the young men do, the young
folks that are on the bicycles do, but
they always leave these things to men
of affairs to do. 1t is matter of bust

W. H. Moore, president of the Inter
state Good Roads association, will while
he is in Topeka form a state Good Roads
association. The officers will be the
same as is usual for such organizations,
president, vice president, secretary M
treasurer and directors.
The object of the state association is
to organize the work in the different
counties in the state and keep in close
touch with the national organization and
send delegates to the National Good
Roads conventions.
A movement is on foot to induce the
city to build macadam road on Fiji
tenth street from the Missouri Pacific
track to the bridge across the Shunga-
nunga- The people living in Highland
Park are anxious to nave this accom-
plished so. that a macadam road could
be built out several miles in this direc-
ton. The. only way to get this work
done would be for the city to take hold
of 1T as the property owners along the
street could not be induced to do it. A
macadam road is also talked of for
the road leading from Topeka avenue
by the fair grounds.
The county commissioners are being
urged to purchase the stone cruShera and
roller which are being used at the ex-
perimental road. 1t is urged that with
the ownership of these two pieces of
machinery several short pieces of ma
cadaIn roads could be built around To-
peka at small cost
The following states have laws on
their statute books allowing of state aid
in the permanent Improvement of public
roads by either allowing taxation or ap-

The last congress appropriated $26,000,-

$3.50, COO 900 are spent annually for the
temporary improvement of roads in the

DESERVES IT.
Remarkable Success of a New
Treatment for Piles.

For many years it has been supposed
that the only absolutely sure cure for
piles was by surgical operation, but the
danger to life and the pain and expense
has been SO great that many thousands
suffer for years rather than submit to
this last resort; or they seek the tenn
claimed to relieve piles and rectal trou-
bles, salves, ointments and similar sim
pie remedies which give only slight and
very temporary relief
A new preparation which is painless
and harmless, but which affords inmed-
late relief and in many cases a COM
plete cure in a very short time, is sold
by druggists under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure
1t is in suppository form used at night
and its regular use has cured thousands
Of obstinate, long standing cases. and
it seems to be equally effective in all the
various forms OF piles. whether itching,
bleeding or protruding.
The Pyramid Pile Cure ai1ays the in
fIammation and fntolerable itching, re-
duces the tumors, and its astringent
properties cause the enlarged blood ves-
sells to contract to a normal, healthy
condition.
A Baltimore gentleman relates his ex-
perience with the Pyramid Pile Cure in
these words:
TT affords me unusual pleasure to add
my endorsement to those of Others reIa-
tive to your really wonderful pile rem
edy I was sufferer for years until
told by a fellow salesman of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. 1t has entirely cured me
and I cheerful1y send this for publica-
ton if you wish to use it in that direc-
ton. I wish you would send me one of
your little books on cause and cure of
piles I desire to show 1t to some
friends"
Any pile sufferer may use the Pyramid
with certainty that it will give instant
relief and regular use a permanent cure
and the still further certainty that it
contains no cocaine, morphine or metal
lie or mineral poison
All druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure,
so cents for full sized treatment.

adjunct to good schools and were of
great advantage in the way OF free rural
postal delivery
About four blocks of the experimental
road have been completed. The colony
where the men who are working the
road is located presents a busy scene.
These traction engines and a stone
crdsher are kept busy in preparing the
stone for the road and rolling it after its
being spread.
The roadbed proper will be twelve feet
wide Over the bed a surface covering
Is placed which will extend out over
each side foot and one-half, making
the road fifteen feet wide.

matter Of roads. But the movement,
at first must be developed by the bust
ness men of the country. If it had been
left to the farmers, it would not have
been as far advanced as 1t is. 1t is a
matter that must be attended to. It has

gressive as other nations? Agriculture
was once an important thing in this
country 1t was more important than
anything else, hence both a cabinet Of

But at that time this country produced
as much as could be used in the country

was that If we could produce enough to

have the heavy grades, but on the av-
erage roads the cost is 20 cents per mile.
If the average haul of miles is u and
the cost per ton per mile is 25 cents, the
average cost per haul is 49, Now that
is an enormous thing. No manufactures
could stand that, and every manufac-
turing enterprise in New England where
they have the advantage of water pow
er, which is the cheapest power known,
where the railroads did not come right

miles. To haul in their raw products
three miles would break any manufac-

not a fact that the state board OF

Of the railroads. Is it not also a fact
that the republican state officials since

The Walsh County Record says of
the defeat of Judge Sauter for renom-
nation: 1t was a foregone conclu-
sion, when it was known that Cavalier
county had selected Kneeshaw dele
gates, that Sauter could not be nomin-
ated. 1t is a pretty hard blow on
Walsh. county, coming as it does just
after Driscoll's defeat in the state con-
vention. Sauter has made an excel
lent judge, has attended faithfully to
business and has taken it upon himself
to see that the laws were strictly en-
forced. It is not because of any fault
of his, or any complaints that have
been brought against him, that he is
now turned down after serving his
constituents we'll now for a little over
four years. 1t is simply the result of
the game of politics, into which the
judgship has been thrown in this state.

Some editors in the state attach per-
haps too much significance to the re-
cent Jolly" of Senator McCumber to
Max Wipperman, the fusion candidate
for governor at Wahpeton. Possibly
Mr.. McCumber did not distinguish at
the time between his position as a resi-
dent of Wahpeton, extending a word
of friendship to a resident of the same
town, and as a republican United
States senator, to whose utterances DO
litical significance is bound to be at
tached. So far as urging any one to
vote for the fusion ticket, it is not
probable that any one will charge any
such thing to the senator. It was
merely a little local address, the speech
of Senator McCumber, and has no sig
nificance, except perhaps that McCum-
Der wanted to make Wipperman feel a
little good, before his slaughter in No.
vember.

The Jamestown Capital doesn't

state again to entrust them with its
affairs. The Capital says. in speaking
of the charges Of the f%usionists that

Just eight years ago when the pops
took up the reins of government in this
state there was Il surplus in the treas

had been overdrawn aud the state was
bankrupted. These reformers went
on the principles that public office is
a snap-aud made it so. They soaked
it to the taxpayers who had placed
them in power by assessing the rail
roads but 5000 a mile when they
should have doubled it. thus diScrim-

The Journal says there are nOt flfty
harvest hands in all Minneapolis. The
railroads and the employment agencies
have made & roundup of the men, and
have been unable to find any. Not a
harvest hand left for the wheat fields
on either the Great Northern or the
Northern Pacific roads last night. The
s. rate named by all the railroads re-
Gu:res a party Of ten, but it was not
possible to secure that number, Ill
though there We're a few individual in
QuirieS for rates at the ticket offices
The situation in the harvest fields is
very. serious in some localities. Men
are wanted badly in northern Mime
sofa and North Dakota, but the Min
neapolis market cannot furnish them.
Several farmers took advantage of the
jobbers' excursion to visit the twin
cities in the hope of finding men, but
they are returning home without them,
When the first discouraging reports
concerning the crops appeared. the
floating population which Minneapolis
annually entertains just before and
after harvest, Immediately struck Out
for Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas, al.
though many of them were offered ex.
cellent wages within a short distance
from Minneapolis. They were all
scared, and the employment agencies
could not hold them. A telegram from
Chicago says that officers Of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific have
instructed their agents to send two
thousand laborers into this territory
If possible. Very low rates have beer
offered and the roads are doing every.
thing in their power to help out the
farmers.
