The Charlotte Presbyterian Stand
ard of la-t week contains this very
thoughtrul paragraph, which gives
some idea of the magnitude Of our
greatest corporation
"The TACT that the steel trust, if it
is capitalized at n billion, one hun
dred thousand dollars is something
to be thoughtfully considered. 1t
amounts To this, that the brain of
n man controls as much property
as all the farmers between the POtO-
mac and the Mississippi rivers own
in farming lands. Fortunately the
farmers between the Mississippi and
the Potomac control more votes than
all that money can buy"

IN YOUR NEIGHBORHooD.

Week after week, in season and
out of season, the Progressive Farm
Of has reminded you
That you ought to have a good five
months public school in your district.
That there should be one or more
good newspapers in every home in
your neighborhOOd
That you should preach the doc
trine of good roads and encourage
every movement looking to the bet
terment of our highways.
That you should interest your
neighbOrs in rural free mail delivery
and secure it for your neighbOrhOOd.
That the farmers of your section
should organize for their "mental,
moral, social, and financial" improve
ment and for this purpose should
meet at least once a month at the
school house or some other convent
ent point.
That a small library ought to be
established in connection with your
public school.
These r a few planks in the Pro-
gressive Farmers platform-a few
of the things tor which every reader
can work. This year there will be
no political campaign in which the
people will attempt to improve ma
tional or State affairs. A good op-
%portunity it is, therefore, to work up
inter est in matters nearer home.
Take the above, or something bet
ter, as a platform and the same ear
nestness and energy that you would
use in a political contest will accomp-
lish great good.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

We note with pleasure the increas-
ing interest in rural free delivery.
No paper has advocated it more ear
nestlv than The Progressive Farmer,
and the letters we receive regarding
it show that u efforts are bearing
fruit.
We have before Us as we write this
a letter from Il Burke county sub
scriber who writes:
please give me some further in
formation concerning rural free de
livery, how to get up II route, and
salary Of carriers
And this is from ii Wayne county
farmer:
"Pleuse send me instructions how
to commence to get free rura1 de-
livery for my neighborhOOd. How
thickIy settled must the route be
and to whom viii l have to apply?
We T very thickly settled in my
ceighborhood and L think we stand a
fair chance of succeeding in getting
4 route"
TIE information here asked for
has already been given in The Pro
gressive Farmer, but we gladly re.
peat it tor the benefit of readers.
To secure rural free delivery for
your neighborhOOd, first map out a
route, not 50 long but that d man on
horseback car easily make the round
trip in II day Let the route follow
as g nOd roads as possible and reach
the largest possible number of peO-
pie. Then prepare your petition and
get as many -iguerS d. vou can In
the section covered. Forward your
petjtfo with particulars a. tol myth
o. route, number OF people reached,
etc to your Representative in Con-
gre-- and ask him to have the Post
office Department send an inspector
to look owe your proposed route
this VIII be done at government ex-
pen>e- Il the inspectors report Is
favorable, you have nothing more to
do, and in Il very short time you will
be enjoying the advantages so long
enjoyed by city people alone-free
delivery of mails.
The salary of carrier is $500 per
year he furnishes a horse.
In the West so many sections de-
sire rural free delivery that only the
most thiCkly populated neighbor-
hoods can secure it. In North Caro-
lima, however, so few routes have
yet been established that it is simply
a case of the early bird and the
worm. Hence, the advice, 600 early
and avoid the rush"

THE SCHOOL LIBRARY LAW

Briefly stated, the provisions of
the new law intended to promote the
establishment of small libraries in
connection with rural schools r :
Whenever the friends or patrons of
any free public school raise SO for
the establishment of a library in con-
nectiOn with their school, the county
board of education shall give an ad-
ditiOnal so and appoint an intelli-
gent person to manage the library
and another to purchase the books.
The State Board of Education will
then be notified and will forward an
other SO, making in all $50 for the
library. Only six schools in each
county are now entitled to these adj
vantages. The books T to be kept
under lock and key when not in cir
culatiOn. Another section of the
statute provides for the exchange of
two or more libraries by the man
ayers, no exchange to be made Oftener
LAA l. A4O4UL4Oy anu uL4O COOG VI Va
change to be at private expense.
These are the main features Of the
new law now so much talked of and
which to US seems destined to do
much good by developing a taste for
literature among the school children
of North Carolina. Already many
schools have awaited themselves of
the advantages offered by it. In
Iredell county, six schools have
already forwarded their applica-
tions to the proper authorities. We
hope that in every neighbOrhOOd in
which The Progressive Farmer is
read the friends of education will
show their appreciation of this ex-
Cellent law by raising the required
SO among themselves and applying
for the State and county aid pro-
vided for. The measure is for the
benefit of country schools only. Dis
cus this matter with your neighbors
and get d library for yOur school.
The Subs. that are doing most
good are not composed exclusively of
old men. The old men, ''the true
blues" are of course the main
strength of the Alliance and we
honor them. But the live active
Su6s. are composed of old men who
have brought their wives and their
eligible sons and daughters into the
Order. Carry the census business a
little further and ascertain the num-
Der of eligible persons in your own
families. Work first on this ele-
ment. Beginning at Jerusalem, - etc.

will be held next Saturday. 1t is
thought that a meeting of the State

Improvement of the Herd.

A most instructive illustration Of the
advantage to be derived from "breed-
ing with a purpose" is afforded by the
milk records of the herd Of dairy COWS
kept in connection with Cornell univer-
sity. Starting close ON 80 years ago
with a herd of about 20 COWS, which
were only capable of producing an
average of about 2,400 pounds of milk
in the year, an effort was made to so
cross and select these animals and
their progeny as to improve their milk
producing capacities from year to year.
A beginning was made by using bulls
of we'll known milking strains, and lit
tie by little the milking capabilities of
the cows were steadily improved until
at the present time the record of the
twenty odd COWS kept in the herd, all
Of them descendants Of the original
20 which only averaged 2,4OO pounds Of
milk, works out to close on 6,4O0
pounds per annum. All this was ac-
complished by the combined results of
crossing with bulls of good milking
strains and the careful selection for
breeding purposes of animals whose
dams had specially distinguished them
selves as mixers. What has been done
here is capable Of achievement by
every farmer who lays his mind down
to that end and operates accordingly.
Instead of selling off the calves pro-
duced by their best mixer. they should
make special point of retaining these
in their own herds and mating them
with purchased bulls of good milking
strain. Working upon these lines the
milk records Of nine out of every ten
herds in the country could be improved
by thousands Of pounds annually.

when the Chief Cook Leaves.

The Importance of chief cook be-
comes evident when the time for his
departure arrives One day last week
the proprietor Of popular restaurant
on Fifth avenue decided for reasons Of
his own to part with the services Of the
man who had for some years looked
after his kitchen. The chef retired
and with him more than 20 of his as
sistants This number included his as
sistant cooks and every man in the
kitchen. even to the unimportant func-
tionary who presdes over the refriger-
ators This exodus did not surprise
the proprietor.
The chef had brought the others with
him. and they were in way more
closely attached to his service than to
the proprietor who paid them their
wages. When substitute was hired.
he also brought the same complete
corps of assistants who are supposed
to know the methods Of their chief bet
ter than any assistants not directly
employed by him.
This manner of employment exists in
all the large restaurants. where the
head cook is absolute master in the
kitchen and controls all the branches
of his department down to the most
unimportant He is held responsible
under his direction even if he was not
personally concerned in the NATTER
