THE SPARTAN JAPS.
Ilr~eances of Their Wonderful Endur-
nnce and Feats of
Strength,

} have said that the japanese are a
Spartan race, writes Anna \. Ben
aioin. in Ainslcc's. Many things be-
s.Gcs their resistance to cold prove
it. The most OF them live in SIM
p'icity. They can go long time
Without food. The coolies perform
arvelous feats of strength and en-
Jurance; they draw a 'jinrikisha'
all day or carry travellers over the
steepest mountains. Every summer
a colony of foreigners go to Mount
Hei-eizan, near Kioto. Their camp
is several miles up the steep noun
tain side, but early each morning the
japanese bring up the mail, fresh
vegetables and milk, and women often
carry trunks to the summit on their
leads. In the upper classes the old
"mimarai" ideals inculcated endur-
ance, courage. and simplicity. n
writer in a recent magazine COM
ments upon the seven years train
.nE of the japanese officer, This is
the preparation of second lieuten-
ant; but 1t Is merely continuation
under modern methods, of the old
"sumarai" requirements. The fact
hat the japanese is one of the best
soldiers in the world, and one of the
toughest, is not such a great cause
for wonder, because it is not the out
come of western military training
Of modernization-for the seeds Of
the western methods were sown on a
Congratulated Spartan soil. The
learning of new military tactics and
the adoption of up-to-date weapons

Few, unless they have tried it, re-
alize the injury done by tramping
plowed ground that is a little wet,
which it often is in spring. The sketch

To make homemade koumiss, cows
milk should be diluted with one-third

spoonfuls of white sugar added per
quart of liquid. A small portion OF
this is rubbed into "a paste, which is
then placed in strong bottles and al

turbance, as we'll as of excellent pal
atability for healthy person, is pro-

in corking the bottles tightly, and 1t
is safer, owing to the great pressures
produced by the fermentation, to
wrap the bottles in heavy cloth be-
fore shaking them.-Dairy ane

call attention to the shipping quail
tiles of the varieties. For home use
there is no melon that can compare
with the Kleckley, while the Emerald
Gem is the best of the canteloupes,

Traffic by road is practically at a
stondstill in the vicinity of Fort
Dodge, a., on account of the mud.
The farmers are unable to get into
the city, and butter, eggs and pota'

THIS MAN Whales WHISKY.
per Gratiiies His Appetite
for Alcohol.

"Give me pony of brandy, quick!"
exclaimed a demonstrating man as
he rushed up to the bar in a Chicago
hotel the other afternoon. The
liquor was at once forthcoming, but
instead of gulping it down, as the
that he would do, he poured a lit
tie into the palms of his hands,
rubbed them together, and buried
his nose in his hands, says the Inter
Ocean. He gave long-drawn shifts of
inhalation until the liquor had eyap-
grated, and then poured more from
the glass into his hands. This oper-
alton he repeated until the glass was
empty. Then he paid for his drink
and went out with a look of content
ment on his face.
Whats the answerP asked an
interested spectator.
at simply means that there are
more ways than one of beating the
devil around the stump" said the
bartender. THAT man swore off
drinking the first of the year, and 1
don't believe he has swallowed a
drop of liquor since. He inhales it
now-always brandy. I've known
him TO come in here as often as five
or six times in one day and go
through the performance you have
Just seen. These swear-off fellows
are queer fish. I know another man
who stopped drinking whisky and
took to bitters-the kind y1p put
dash of into cocktails. He travelled
with a drinking crowd, and every
time the others took whisky Ae
would pour out a drink of bttters.
No; it didn't make him drunk, bus
it nearly ruined his stomac', lie
spent a month in the hospital, and
then went haek to the real stuff"

THE ART OF FLOWING.
TRIANGULAR Fields Frequently Try
the Patience of Otherwise Conn
petent Field Workers.

Owing to creeks and other causes
there are many irregular shaped fields
which are oftentimes plowed by 60
inc around until finished in the center.
This center is often triangle. Inever
saw a plowman but what went around
this triangle until it was at last plowed
out. TO finish this way leaves large,
open furrow, and necessitates turning
square around at the point. Often the
horses get their feet out of the furrow
and make trouble. But the worst fea-

WHAT BAD TOAD5 COST.
come Valuable Figures Collected ny
n Corps Of Experts of the Depart
meut of Agriculture.

We are now passing through one OF
he Two periods Of ne year When the
country roads problem forces itself
prominently to the front and becomes
living issue with everyone who has
not paved streets and improved side
walks to pass over. There is no state
IN the union i'm which the question can
De ignored, Tor there is no state in
which the country roads in the open
ing of spring and the beginning OF win
ter are in reasonably passable condi-
ton. Agricultural interests every
where are the heaviest sufferers from
the wretched conditions of the coun-
try roads. Just how much they have
suffered from this cause they have
never been able TO estimate. Had they
had any conception of the extent of
their losses, it is probable they would
have eXerted themselves long ago to
bring about a radical change and
would have supplied themselves with
good roads irrespective of the first
cost Of the work. which is decidedly
the heaviest portion of it.
What they have failed to do for
themselves in the matter of estimates
the agricultural department has ac-
complished for them. 1t set a corps
of experts to ascertain the actual con-
ditions and to estimate the direct
losses suffered by the farming COM
munities through the lack Of perma-
nent country highways easily passable
at all seasons of The year and in all
conditions of the weather. These eX-
perts have estimated tlAt it costs
S946 600 900 a year to haul the farm
products of the United States from
the farms to points Of rail or water
shipment. This is far in excess of the
freight CHARGES levied by the trans
portation companies, and the experts
say the amount might be reduced two
thirds if every section of country were
furnished with good roads. The eX-
perts further estimate that the value
of the country's farms and farm prop
erty would be enhanced by S5,OOOOOO
600 by the construction of permanent
highways through every county and
township in the United States.
According to the estimates of these
experts the average wagon haul from
farm to point OF shipment is from Sd
to 60 miles. and the cost per wagon
load is $3.50 in the northern and east
ern states. in the prairie and the
southern states the average haul is So
miles and the cost per wagon load is
$2.72. The average cost of hauling
farm products from the farms to the
point of shipment over the entire
United States is % cents per ton per
mile. The railroads charge less than
half a cent per mile per ton for haul
ing these products to market, or about
one-fftieth the amount 1t costs the
farmers themselves to deliver the
goods to the railways. These figures
show how extremely shortsighted the
agricultural communities are in per-
hitting their highways to remain as
they are a present. The difference in
the cost of improving the country
roads and of hauling over them as they
are, If saved, as it might very wei be,
would make them rich in very few
years.-Chicago Evening Post.

Forestry Work in the East.

During the past year the state Of
Pennsylvania has purchased more
thar 100000 acres of land to be used
as a forestry reservation. The policy
of using land that is not adapted to
agriculture for the purpose of timber
culture has been adopted by both
PENNSYLVANIA and New York, the OBJ
iects being to insure a necessary
measure of rainfall to preserve the
puritv of mountain streams, to pro-
vide for the even flow of streams, the
mower of which is utilized by manu-.
features and the like.

wash the Cows in Summer.

Cows should sometimes be washed,
even in the summer time. The hair
protected skin of the cow is o good
lodging place for fungoid germs and
ferments of all kinds. The cows
wade through stagnant water filed
with countless myriads of bacteria
or stand in deep mud equally pol
luted. They return to the stable OF
milking yards and the bacteria re-
main on them and fall in invisible
showers into the milk as it is drawn
Then we hear about ropy milk, OF
milk having a rank flavor. 1t could
have been prevented had care been
exercised in cleaning the cows. When
COWS give evidence of having been in
such places they should be thorough
