He Reasoned Wrong.

"It's all knowing how to reason
said the Pittsburg man as he sighed
in a sorrowful way. II owned a
house and lot in town in our state
and was getting good rent for it,
when congregation built church
right on the line. I reasoned it out
that the place was spoiled, and when
1 was offered three-fifths of it's
former value 1 made haste to close
the deal. 1 patted myself on the
back over that bit of good luck
"And wasn't it good luck?" was
asked.
''Not bit of it. I'm clean thou
sand dollars out of pocket for rea-
soning hind end to. The chap who
bought my place had twin babies,
a piano, fiddle and barking dog,
and the congregation hadn't occu-
pied that church over four SUNDAYS
when it raised a purse and bought
him out for twice the value of the
place" -Cleveland Plain Dealer.

counts himself very fortunate man.
Mr.. brennan in addition to being
postmaster is Justice of the Peace,
a member of the Christian Church and
a highly respected and useful citizen.
He has suffered for some time with
what some peoplewould call ricketts,"
or "rigors" of the kidneys-kidney
disease in a very painful form. He
could not sleep, he had dull pain over
his left kidney, was continually rest
less, could not lie still, and had to get
up through the night several times
and was also troubled in this way dur
ing the day.
He used few boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, remedy recently intro
duced in this state and advertised as a
cure for Kidney Disease, Rheumatism,
Malaria, etc., and in short time was
completely restored to vigorous, good
health. He is very grateful to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

COUNTRY IMPROVEMENT.
Cultivation of the Beautiful Now
Goes Hand in Hand with Culti-
walton of the Useful.

There are places in the coun-
try that will not admit of the word
improvement, but as we travel about
among the farms we are compelled
to acknowledge that town improve
ment societies are very much needed.
At Idaho Falls, in Idaho, one of the
largest clubs in the state is the Vii
lage Improvement society, entirely
composed of women. The object of
these clubs should be to make the
streets clean and beautiful, to en-
courage private owners to keep their
lots and farms beautiful, and their
homes teachers of refinement. The
women of Clinton, n. Y, have placed
boxes in the streets to receive waste
papers and similar rubbish. The
Rural Art society, of the same town,
is planting linden trees, laying out
small parks and looking out for SIM
liar enterprises, which, while not of
little value, are not of much cost. In
one of the Ohio towns 1 notice that
is perhaps a good idea, for competi-
ton in doing good works as we'll as
in business affairs. The present out
look is for rallying of all enter
prises for the public welfare around
the schoolhouse as a center. If this
ton will mean something very diff
ferent from the present disorganiza-
ton, which gets the state charter. 1t
will place intelligence at the frcnt
and tend to disable the saloon and
similar influences.
Meanwhile civic improvement goes
forward on parallel lines with coun-
try improvement. 1t seems to be ac-
cepted as an assured fact that cities
are to spread out hereafter over a
very much larger territory. The ex-
ecutive board of the American league
for Civic improvement met recently
at Springfield, o. The league is to
hold a weeks convention at Chau-
tauqua for discussing all sorts of mu-
nicipal reforms. 1t is believed that
political reform and physical reform
must go on together. The Spokane
Floral association, which is a COM
mittee of the State Federation on
Forestry and Outdoor Art, issues a
year book showing how best to add
vance the study and the work of civic
improvement, especially in the way
of planting flowers and trees. There
really is no way any longer of keep
ing civic art and rural art separated.
We believe the day is not far off
when every farmer will consider the
cultivation of the beautiful just as
much a part of his business as the
useful. Then our farms will be con-
nected together with long lines of
highways-mostly trolleyways-all
of which constitute extended public
parks.-E. P. Powell, in n. Y. Trib-
une,

Cheap Material for Roads,

1t has been discovered that burnt
gumbo is most serviceable material
for use on country roads. 1t is not
quite as durable as is crushed stone,
but is far superior to dirt. It's cost is
slight, as it can be produced without
the use of skilled labor. The burning
of the gumbo removes the quality
that when the clay is wet causes stick
mess. This burnt clay is used for cap
ping the road. The road-bed must be
we'll drained and well built before the
top of burnt clay is put on. 1t is
claimed that if people will adopt the
burnt-clay idea, roads as good as those
in France can be constructed in this
country with no additional expendi-
ture over that now being required by
the roads.

THE DREAMER IN THE CITY.

AS down the busy street I pass,
Avoiding trucks and drays.
In fancy I can hear sweet songs
1 heard in other days;
L smell the apple blossoms and
l take sudden jump
AS some one rings a fearful gong
And yells: Look out, you chump!'
In tender fancy 1 once more
Look in a maiden's eyes;
I see the bushes on her cheeks
And hear her happy signs;
1 see the lane in which we stood,
1 breathe the fragrant air
And leap yard some one bawlS:
You fool, step lively therev'
All. glad old days of long ago!
Once more 1 seem to hear
The school bell ring across the fields,
In mellow tones and clear;
1 see the path that winds away
Down to the swimming pool,
And some one grabs me, yelling; Cant
You see the car, you fool!''
The creek is flowing on out there,
And there the town boys still
Go wading where the bend is, at
The bottom of the hill,
And I in fancy hear them shout,
AS here 1 fare along,
In luck to dream and not be killed
BY something with a gong.

lied iron pipe Gnside measure) 80 inch

80 inches, half way to barn. Here we
built cistern lined up with brick and
cemented, holding 50 barrels of water.
We carry water under ground from
this cistern to barn where we have

rels of water. We have fall of ten
feet from cistern to tank at barn. In
tank at barn we have a float valve that
regulates the supply of water, keeps
the tank full at all times, and absolute
ly directs and manages this end of the
business without any assistance on our
part.
We put force pump in spring and
steel tower 30 feet high, and an eight
foot wheel at kitchen door. The pump
is operated with triangle and, when we
have a fair wind and want water from

(as pure as there is on earth) passes
through our kitchen at the rate of one
barrel every 80 minutes. The outfit
and the wind does the work and don't
stop to rest. While many of our friends
and neighbors are suffering great in
convenience and hardship forced upon
them by the unusual scarcity of water,
we feel truly thankful that we have an
abundance. tits good thing to have
good credit at good bank. The next
best thing is to have good spring of
water on which we can draw at any
time. Sam Jones says the poet was
prophet when he wrote:
death rides on every passing breeze
And turks in every flower,
Each season has its own disease,
It's perils every hour
We realize that passing breeze in
many cases brings JOY and gladness.
A passing breeze in connection with
well-directed ingenuity will force wa
ter a distance of 476 feet, elevate it
AZ feet and put it in the most desir-
able place in our dwelling in abund-

How to Put Up Alfalfa.

This is the way South Dakota
farmer puts up alfalfa: For stack bot
tom use any old material eight or
ten inches deep, seven or eight feet
wide and as long as you need. Have
some good dry hay or straw ready
Cut the alfalfa when about half in
bloom in dryest part of day and let ii
thoroughly wilt or cure until you can
press it into wad between your hands
Haul to stack and put layer of eight
or ten inches of alfalfa; then dry hay
or straw, then alfalfa a foot; hay OF
straw eight or ten inches, and so on
until as high as wanted. Dry mate
rial must be eight inches in middle to
nothing at the edge of stack. This
is the scientific and only way to cure
alfalfa, and it makes the best al
around food in the world for all farm
animals.

TREES FROM NURSERIES.
How to Handle Them So rs to Insure
Their Living when Placed in
New Locations.

1t is something of science to trans
plant trees that have been received
from a distant nursery and have them
live. 1t used to be thought that there
must always be large percentage of
loss anyway-even under the best con-
ditions. Both the nurseTymen and the
planters have now learned that trees
of all kinds can be handled in a way
to insure their living when placed in
their new locations. A well-packed
tree has its roots kept moist by being
rolled in damp moss and tied up in
bagging. The old scheme of pulling
trees out of the ground, exposing their
roots and sending them away without
any protection was the cause of many
tree proving a failure. When these
trees arrived at the distant station
they were thrown out on the platform
and left there exposed to the heat of
the sun and the drying effects of the
wind. In the course of time the pur-
chaser drove around and got his con-
signment, perhaps a couple of days
after their arrival. By that time their
roots were good and dry. He drove
home and set out his trees in any old
way. Even had he set them in the best
possible way it is altogether likely
that good many trees would have
persisted owing to the drying out of
the roots. When large part of his
trees failed to grow of course the
nurseryman was to blame--so the
buyer said. He was right to some ex-
tent, in that the trees were sent away
with roots not properly protected. In
sending trees long or short distances
the roots and their moisture supply
furnish the key to the situation. Prop
er treatment of the tree from the time
it comes out of the nursery row to the
time it goes into the place assigned to
it in the orchard will insure a good
healthy tree. In setting hundred of
these there need be no failures
