Rural Free Mail Deliyery.

The post Office department is going
to try a new experime mt in rural free
delivery. The local plan has proved
such great success that the system
will be made universal in counties
where conditions are favorable. The
government has tried it in one county
in Pennsylvania, and will make the ex-
pertinent in Peoria and Vermillion
counties, III. The reason why these
counties were selected was because the
population was more evenly dis tribut-
ed and because the roads were general
ly good. Farmers who want the bene-
fits of free rural mail delivery should
see to it that their roads are kept up
in shape, SO that they would be pass
able at all seasons-of the year.

Early Cultivation Counts.

Many farmers fail to realize how
much easier and cheaper it would be
to do more of the required cultivation
before the crop is planted. Begin
your preparations early enough so
that when you have your land ready to
plant you can leave it alone for a
week or more. and then harrow and
cultivate the surface over again. One
crop of weeds will thus be destroyed
at light expense and the surface will
be brought into finer filth and bet
ter prepared to receive the seed. On
lands liable to suffer from drought
this process may be probably ex-
tended for weeks or months before
planting the crop Midland Farmer.

USING CONVICT LABOR.


The coming Of the SoNyhern raiLs
way good roads train has, we believe,
done more toSarOuse interest In the
subject Of better highways than any
thing that has ever been attempted.
along this line. It has not only afford
ed valuable object lesson in the prac-
stical work of road building, but it has
put the people to thinking on the
problem of how to secure better roads.
This thought has naturally turned to
that class Of labor which the state al
ready owns and controls-its convicts.
And the opinion seems to be forming
that some rational, practical plan for
utilizing this labor to this end is the
one to be first considered.
The Journal frankly admits that it
has not as yet given the matter suffi-
cient thought to be abe to advance q
definite idea as to what is best along
this line, but it has been impressed
with the suggestion that to use the
convicts to build modern system of
public highways is to be carefully con-
sidered, providing such a system can
be made practically self-supporting
and at the same time be free from the
Objectionable features which are, OBJ
viously. involved in this public display
of criminals in stripes.
The first and foremost benefits to be
derived, it seems to us, is in removing
the convicts from competition with
honest, free labor-a condition which,
while clearly Objectionable, is no easy
one to solve.
Other states have tried to solve this
problem in various ways, but SO far
with Indifferent success. If, as claimed,
to turn the whole system over to the
work of building modern roadways is
the solution of it,, We take it that
every one will welcome such an arr
rangement.
The proposition to make the system
self-supporting by conducting cloth
ing. shoe and tool factory and farm
in connection with the system, where
all long term, decrepit men and women
~convicts may be employed in produc-
ing supplies for the entire system. and
for this purpose alone, seems, on the
face of it, to be one way of removing
the convicts, as nearly as would ever
be possible, from competition with
free labor, and at the same time of
making the system practically self
supporting.
At any rate, the matter is one that is
going to occupy the attention of our
people from now on. and it may even
be made an issue in future legislative
elections, SO that we may reasonably
expect to see the solution reached be-
fore very long.-Atianta (Ga.l Journal.

STORE-BOX FARMERS.
Tney Are the Fellow. who Objec,
Against the Introduction of
Rural Mail Delivery.

The chairman OF the committee on
post offices in congress declares, in an
interview, that free delivery of rural
mail is not favored everywhere and
cites as proof that some country peo-
pie somewhere are objecting because
they are denied the privilege of their
store visits to get the mail and also
that some are not on the route and are
objecting. He concludes by saying he
will go to the bottom of the affair and
intimates that further appropriation
is not. desirable. If the above is not
"cheap store" talk never heard of it.
If the chairman had read the several
letters of the assistant postmaster
general he would have found all of
these objections stated and at the
same time have seen them completely
removed. Free delivery does not
throw any barrier in the way of the
"store meeting" it only disarms the
boys and men of the Email excuse"
From the above interview we would be
led to believe that the social and ed
vocational training of the rural peo-
pie depended upon these "store meet
ings." Who attend? The leaders of
society and the most successful? Nay,
verify. Here we invariably find the.
Jack-knife farmer and those of his
class. The knowledge to be gained by
such association is minus quantity
and the language used is not accord
ing to our best grammarians. while
the stories told are not worth the
time, and destroy the mind for better
things. If the ''store meeting is SO
classical why not take our daughters
and wives along? But, alas, we cannot.
From this we rebel, for it is free deliv-
cry of another kind that makes it OBJ
noxious to our ladies. You all know
what / mean by this latter delivery
1T usually consists of box two feet
square, filled with ashes or sawdust.7
These store meetings" instead of do
ing good actually result in a great,
many wrongs. The wife is left at home
to carry the wood and water, the stock
oftentimes goes without feed, the girls
are obliged to go without the paper or
magazine till the store meeting is over
and so it continues.
There isnothing that makes me lose
patience with my fellow farmers so
much as to see them idling their time
away on the store box-and complaint
ing that farming does not pay. How
much better if this time were spent in
reading good books and good papers
and then instead of meeting in the
store to attend the grange where the
best thought and associates are found
and where refinement and culture
abound. Let us hear no more of turn
ing the wheels backward to accom5no-

REFLECTIONS OF A SICK MAN.

When the doctor comes, he always
laughs at You.
The neighbors never worry about
your illness as much as you thought
they would.
People come around the house you
never saw before; the milk man, the
ice man, the wash woman.
When you are hungry, you are
ashamed to acknowledge it, and, if
your nurse is very particular, you
are liable to suffer from hunger.
When the medicine makes you sick,
and you complain to the doctor, he
says: chats what I expected;
that's what 1 intended it to do"

cotton.eed OF Industry,

I According to the latest census re-
ports, there are $50 establishments in
the United States for the manufac-
3ture of cottonseed oil, using 2, 4oa, 3s6
tons of cottonseed, costing $2s, $685.
SIC, an average cost of $l1.55 per ton.
The total value of the products from
this amount of seed used was S42,411,-
S35. The quantity crushed was SO per
cent. of that produced. The figures
given are for 1900. It is likely that
owing to the high price of cottonsced
and meal, the figures for this seasons
work will amount to an increase of
about rs per cent.

THE KANSAS PEOPLE AnF n
LOVE WITH WESTERN
CANADA.


a great number Of delegates have
been influenced through the agency
Of Mr.. j. S. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan
sas City, to visit Western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac Fl. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
Il met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury, and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin-
est land that lays on top OF
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn
ing I took them to Didsbury, and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming to my
place and I am going to help them to
run some lines and they are going to
locate in sight of my house. There
have been over 1900 acres of land
changed hands here in our neighbor-
hood this spring. When located here
last Fall was the furthest back Of
any of the settlers, to-day am in
the centre of the settlement. We
have SO children that are of school
age in our district, and we will have
our school district organized next
month, when we will proceed to build
our school house. The longer we stay
here the better we like the country,
that is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do
ing well. I have talked with great
many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they got
here, and to-day they have got 100
acres of good land and five or six
hundred dollars worth of stock.
Crops are looking fine here, think
this will be good winter wheat
country. One of my neighbors has q
small piece and it looks fine.''
