GREAT POPULARITY sOF FREE
RURAL DELIVERY.
The Washington Times In a re-
cent article says:
"Ex-Senator Marion Butler of
North Carolina, who paid his re-
spects to the President this morning,
is the author of the bill which
established rural free delivery.
s'This branch of the postal service
has attained marvellous proportions"
said Senator Butler. 81 expect the
appropriation at the next Congress
for its further introduction will be
fully $5,OOO,OO0. There is scarcely
a State in the Union where the in
PRODUCTION of the delivery is not
desired"
Since the above appeared in The
Times, the Postmaster General has
announced that he will ask the next
Congress to appropriate over Sc, OOO,-
900 for Free Rural Delivery.

ONLY a Mask.

Many are not being benefited by
the summer vacation as they should
be. Now, Notwithstanding much
outdoor life, they are little II any
stronger than they we're. The tan
on their faces is darker and makes
them look healthier, but it is only
mask. They are still nervous,
easily tired, upset by trifies, and
they do not eatnor sleep we'll. What
they need Is what tones the nerves,
perfects digestion, creates appetite,
and makes sleep refreshing, and
that ia Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils
and teachers generally will find
the chief purpose Of the vacation
best subserved by this great medi
cine wich, as we know, builds up
the whole svstem."

HINT FOR BEGINNERS.
Persons Unfamiliar with Poultry
Raising Should Start Business
ON O Small Scale,

It il better to rent small farm to
begin with poultry rather than make
an investment in buying, unless the
beginner fully understands the keep
ing of fowls, for the reason that if one
buys he reduces his working capital,
and should he be unsuccessful he must
stay on the farm until he can sell it.
If he rents he can return the farm to
the owner and leave. It is claimed,
however, that if one buys he can be-
gin and get everything ready for per-
manent stay, which is true, but that is
just what an inexperienced person
should not do. He should start in q
small way and make his capital by in
creasing his fiocks every year; hence,
by the time he has large number of
fowls he will know much more than
when he began. He can then take his
fowls to purchased farm and feel
that he has made good beginning.
This is the main point in favor of poul-
try-the making of the capital. No one
should expect too much for the first
two or three years. Begin with but
little capital, let the fowls increase,
and in five years one may be we'll es-
tablished, instead of taking the risk
of losing it all at once.-Farm and

Tine to Prevent Waste.

The farmers of the state of New Jer-
sey paid, within a period of IL months,
the snug sum of 81, GOO, 900 for CONNER
cial fertilizers, in order to furnish
requisite plant food to exhausted soils.
If that little state put out such .
vast sum, how much must the farmers
of Illinois, e. g., with seven times the
area, pay under like conditions Of
soil exhaustion? Better still, answer
this conundrum by firm resolve on the
part of every farmer in our rich wes::
to take proper care of his soil through
wise crop rotation, summer fallow and
the use of legumes which do SO much
to supply needed defciencies.-Farm

AD1sT1NGU1sHED MISSIONARY

He is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he
came to Washington from Little York
Ind, q short time ago.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson spent many
years of his long and useful life as a
missionary among the Indians of the
West. The great exposure and the
drinking of so much bad water
brought on Diabetes, and at Wagner,
Indian Territory, he was struck down
while preaching.
Physicians, one of them Chicago
specialist, pronounced his case hope
less. Dodd's Kidney Pills were recon-
mended, and as last resort he tried
them. He was completely cured, and
restored to good health and his case
and it's cure has caused q sensation

what . Windmill Can DO.

An estimate has recently been made
of the capacity of . windmill running
ten hours day for six months from
an interesting report on windmills and
their use, issued this year by the
United States geological survey, which
is studying the great plains to make
availa BILE these rich underground wa
ter resources. It was found that an
average wheel, IL feet in diameter,
with the wind blowing 16 miles an
hour, is capabl of pumping 1920 gal
Ions an hour, 1920 in day Of ten
hours, $4,000 each month, and 1885,
900 gallons in six months. This is the
work of only one windmill. Add to it
the work of hundreds and thousands of
others, and realize the vast amount of
water brought into use by this means.

RAISING FANCY FOWLS.
1t 10 . Charming Occupation, Bat One
Calling for Incessant Care and
Hard Work.

Those who are raising fancy fowls
and the beginners in this are more nu-
merous with each succeeding season
are liable, among other things, to be
troubled with what is known as "foul"
feathers coming in the plumage of 9th
erwise good birds. Black fowls may
show enough white feathers to spoil
them as breeders and exhibition birds.
for white disqualities. The bird show
ing it cannot compete for q prize. The
Brown Leghorn or even the Plymouth
Rock may be similarly affected. The
beginner with poultry has so many
things to learn that lis brain aches
with trying to contain them all at once,
and one of the things which befalls
him often is that he does not by vari-
ETY. and proper balance keep his young
stock growing freely. When, for any
cause dice is as common one as any,
no doubt) the chicks do not grow lust
lily, when the vigor is in any way inn
paired, the unfortunate white is GER
tain to appear more or less freely. 1t
is plain advertisement of lack some
where along the line. Good, muscle
making, bone-forming foods, that will
not give indigestion, together with the
grit and charcoal that help to ward of
this trouble, and thick, grassy range
we'll set with insects, are the simples
that produce also fine color and gloss
of plumage. In other words, whatever
conduces to strong vitality favors
good plumage; whatever destroys or
Injuries vigor opens the way for false
plumage. The same is true of the old
err stock at the mott. They need every
help that nature can give, in order to
feather to the satisfaction of their
owner. This thought may also bark
back to the previous generations, to
the transmitted constitution received
from the breeding parents. For fancy
stock that will be source of pleasure
and pride, vigor first! And let no one
think to maintain it through many
generations of close-yarded, highly
forced stock. The maximum egg yield
is inconsistent with the best develop.

is, eggs cannot be put first.-Myra v.

RENEWING PASTURES.
Well as Labor Expended on .
TILED Crops.

The severe drought has been ha I'd on
pastures, both on account of lack OF
moisture and on account of overs took
ing. The sod is killed out in places, and
weeds will come in. Agreat deal of our
natural pasture-land should not be
broken except when a new seeding be-
comes absolutely necessary, and the
lifetime of these pastures could be
prolonged by some attention right
now. The best way to control weeds
is to crowd them out, and there is no
better plant than timothy to do this
with until better pasture-grasses can
get a new foothold. In September, no
matter if the weather is dry, grain.
drill, with sharp hoes, should be run
over all thin patches In the pasture.
distributing one-fourth to one-third OF
a bushel of timothy-seed an acre in
connection with 200 pounds an acre OF
a high-grade acid phosphate. The drill.
hoes will cut the thin sod so that some
of the seed will find fire sh soil for start
ing when the fall rains come, and the
trash of the old sod will furnish some
winter protection to the new plants.
If some stable manure can be spared
for light top-dressing it will pay well
in making sod that will choke out the
weeds. We expect too much of our
pastures, and help them too little. If
the bare spots were given some seed
in bad years, and some fertilizers were
added after light scratching of the
surface, weeds would be kept under
better control, more grass would be
gotten, and the breaking-plow need
not be used so frequently on land that
needs the protection of sod all the
time. If we would look upon pasture
grasses as crop, and give them atten-
ton when most needed, our labor
would be rewarded fully as we'll as it
is when applied to most titled crops

SYSTEMATIC THINKING.
Intelligent Brain Work 10 as Neces'
sary ON the Farm a. In the
Business once.

1t is not always the man who works
the hardest that prospers most. We
frequently find men who seem to do
little hard labor, yet they get along
better and clear up more money every
year than their neighbors who work
in season and out of season and take
no time for rest, study or recreation.
That these facts exist no one of an OBJ
serving turn of mind will deny. The
reason for it is not hard to discover.
The Creator in His all-wise judgment
gave man the power to reason and
think. The command to work was no
more imperative for man than was
the idea of improving his thinking
powers. Our most successful men are
those who think to the best purposes;
not those who think the most. Idiots
think as much and just as hard as our
most learned men. 1t is the trained
thinker who succeeds. 1t takes time
and energy to think and plan to pur-
pose. No man can wear himself out
at hard bodily labor and get best men
tai results. The mind is always affect
ed by the condition of the body.
The fact remains also that some
men are mentally lazy. Some men are
industrious and hard working but they
do not like to think and plan and
scheme. Such men are easy prey for
those who do scheme and plan and
think, and the results of their labor
are often enjoyed by those who work
their intellects instead of their bod
les. There always has been and al
ways will be a premium on intelligent
brain work, and the sooner some men
realize this the better it will be for
them.-National Stockman.

When thou vert thereto cheer and bless
To greet me with fond caress.

The Time to Sell Crops.

It is just as well, and little better,
ON the whole, to sell the crops thatare
raised for sale right from the field. 1t
is to run no small risk to hold them
over with the hope of getting higher
price. There is the extra cost of hand
ling and storing, and not little
shrinkage to boot. If potatoes will
bring so cents a bushel in the fall, it is
safe to say that it is better than Is,
next spring. The same holds good
with most other crops. Apples will
shrink still more, for you are sure to
find that no small percentage Of them
will rot, and so quick sales will pay the
best in the long run.-Agricultural
