stupid in advocating asphalt, teltord
or macadam everywhere. He, too,
wants good roads-as good as can
be well aforded-roads that will pay
him best. We have, therefore, only
to show him by carefully planned
obi~ect-lessons near the larger towns
the beauties of best macadam, else
where the advantages of broken
stone, and nearer home, in his own
village, the best road and the most
b~usiness-like policy consistent with
local needs and resources. He is
thereby disarmed of prejudices. Show
the American farmer that good roads
are not merely for the automobiles,
bicyclers and the pleasure of city
people; show him by actual construc-
ton the splendid economy of steadi-
ly building permanent roads for his
own use, and he readily becomes an
ardent advocate of good roads.

in the United States and 86,lOO,OOO
in all other countries. The increase
was 40 per cent in this country and
II per cent for the rest of the world,
but in the South the gain was from
100000 to 6,4OO,OOO or 228 per cent.
In this ten-year period the number OF
cotton mill spindles Increased in
Great Britain only 45,55O,OOO to A.
100000, and on the continent of Eu-
rope from 26,4O5,OOO to 100000.
These facts and figures lead up to
the question why we should send
abroad so much of this bulky materi-
al to be manufactured by the Use of
foreign capital, labor and machinery,
and buy from the manufacturers a
large portion of the finished fabrics
which we ourselves USE"
The increase in the number of cot
ton mills will eventually settle this
question. It is only a matter of
time when cotton for export will be-
come exceedingly scarce.-Charlotte
Observer.

This bulletin is a unique attempt
to place in the hands of the rural
school teacher detailed plans for
leading the country pupils to study
the things of the farm and the farm
home. It was edited by Messrs.
Hays, Robertson and Volta, but was
in part written by other members of
the faculty of the Minnesota Agri-
cultural College.
1t contains 237 exercises to be
carried out by the pupils. Each ex-
ercise is complete in itself. It gives
the object to be sought, the mate
rials to be used, and the plan in de-

pupil carry out in doing the work of
each experiment. The materials re-
quired are such as may be available
at the school, or in the farm home.

The Future of Cotton.
Orange Co., N. @.

Mr.. Richard II. Edmonds, editor
of The Manufacturers Record, con-
tributes an article to the September
number of The American Review of
Reviews, in which he discusses the
subject of the expectation of raw
cotton to Europe. Mr.. Edmonds
gives some figures of interest. From
his statement it appears that since
1880, the South has raised 100000
900 bales of cotton, worth at the
price paid to the growers $7,5OO,OOO,
900, and in the same period $685.
500, 900 worth of the raw material,
1868, 900, 1000 of cotton goods and
$780, ZOO, 900 of seed products have
been exported. Taking the average
of the last six years, the worlds
production of cotton has been 49,
100000 bales of 500 pounds each per
annum, and of this 1O,O23,OOO, or
about three-fourths, has been sup
piled by the United States. The
largest crop was 11,274,84O bales in
1898, and last years product is put
down at 1O,63O,945. The annual
value during the last two or three
years has been from $5OO,OOO,OO to
1915, 900, 900, including an average of
$4,000, 900 derived from the seed.
The variations in the price of cot
ton are given and commented on by
Mr.. Edmonds, and the conclusion
which he reaches is that it will here
after range about the profitable level
of ten cents a pound, and that the
world will take a crop of 100000
to 100000 bales at the average
price prevailing for ten years before
1850, which was eleven cents.
MI. Edmonds makes a gratifying
exhibit of the growth of manufactur,
ing in the Southern States and shows
hat the advance has been from
221,337 bales in 1880 to 546,894 in
1890, 1,597,112 in 1900 and 1887 81
in 1902. The New York Journal Of
Commerce regards this increase az
remarkable. 1t says:
"The increase in the facilities fo1
consumption-that is to say, for the
manufacture of the fibre into fabrics
for consumption-is shown in a state
ment giving the number of spindles il
operation in 1891-'92 as 15,2OO,OO(
in this country and T5,157,OO(

Good Roads from the farmers
Standpoint.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

In the sociology of country life
good roads are a tremendous factor
directly related to financial, social
and spiritual betterment.
The farmers attitude is worth
knowing, worth reckoning with and
worth directing and using to best
advantage. IF his attitude we're bet
ter known and not so largely ignored,
even sneered at, rational measures
would receive the strong endorse
ment and support of the average
American farmer. He is neither a
fogy nor a fool. He is not e or
stingy. He is something of a bust
ness man in this century, and is alert
to public enterprise and progress.
He does his part fairly consistent
with his means, but he does lack the
leadership of men who have SYM
pathetic intelligence and who real
~ know country life, its conditions
and real needs; mere theorists will
not pass.
The status of the American farm
er is indicated by the farm journals,
daily papers and high-class maya
zines and books he reads; by the
boys and girls he sends to high
school and college. The popularity
and patronage of farmers Institutes,
correspondence courses in agricul-
ture, experiment station work, etc.,
are significant. The phenomenal
popularity of reading courses for
farmers, farmers wives and farmers
children in practical agriculture,
household interests, nature study.
etc., are equally suspicious.
The farmer is largely promoting
the consolidation of rural schools.
advocating rural free delivery of
mails and also the postal savings
bank, the postal check and parcels
post. And as a practical man, know,
ing the enormous benefit of the tele,
phone, he is organizing farmers

1t used to be considered that only urinary

is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or
ont of order, you can understand how quickly
your entire body is affected, and how every
organ seems to fail to do its duty.
IF you are sick or L" feel badly" begin taking
the great kidney remedy, DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, because as soon as your kidneys are we'll
they will help all the other OrgaLs to health. A

for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering with fatal results are

In the back, joints and muscles; makes your
head ache and back ache, causes indigestion,
stomach and liver trouble, you get a sallOw,

Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.

to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is
known to medical science.

ting, or if small PARTICLES float about in it, your
kidneys are in / eed of immediate attention.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used

because they recognize in it the greatest and
most successful remedy for kidney, liver and
bladder troubles.

a Health Hint.

No charm that woman can possess
can atone for tainted breath. 1t sug-
gests physical disorder or lack of in
ward cleanliness. Defective teeth, too,
are the cause Of offensive breath. 1t
should be the object of every woman OF
refinement that her personality holds
the fragrance Of absolute purity. This
is impossible without healthfulness and
cleanliness. and therefore these two
prime factors Of health and beauty
should be cultivated increasingly. 1t IS
said that oriental women rinse their
mouths night and morning with lotions
that impart a delicious odor to the
breath. Cinnamon has antiseptic as
we'll as aromatic properties and is high
~ valued by the Japanese for purify
ing the breath. The medicinal value of
cinnamon is too little known. 1t de-
stroys infectious microbes and when
freely drunk in such ways as cinnamon
tea it prevents malaria.

Americans Going to Manitoba.

Great preparations are being made
by the Canadian government and by
the Canadian Pacific railway for the
advent of new settlers in the western
part Of the Dominion this spring, says
the London Express. Five hundred
families will soon arrive in Manitoba
to settle on land secured from the gov
eminent. They are going into the Do
minion from the United States under
the auspices of Roman Catholic mis-
sion, whose headquarters are in Mime
sofa. At Regina, still farther west,
settlers are expected as soon as the
weather permits, numerous land grants
having been taken up in that district,
with the result that land values have
increased very materially.

The Constitutional Amend
ments which will be put before
the voters of this State for them
to decide upon next month should
be carefully read and digested.
The advisability of adopting them
should be carefully and conscien-
tiously thought over before the
vote is cast either for or against.
The lay mind should, to a certain
extent, be guided by the trained
legal mind in forming an opinion
in this matter. 1t is a fact that
the Court of Errors and Appeals is
overrun with business and these
amendments are designed to relieve
it. That they will do so, we
have the assurance of such men
as Hon, H. c. Pitney, Attorney
General Robert H. McCarter
Edward Q. Keasbey, John White
head, former Judge John B. Vree-
land, Richard v. Lindabury and
others. New Jersey decisions
are and always have been quoted
as authoritative and It is but fair
to those who compose the courts
of our State to give them such aid
and relief as may be in our power.
That these gentlemen think well
of these amendments is a strong
argument in their favor. Attorney
General McCarter gives fourteen
good reasons why these amend
ments should be adopted and ad
mits that there may be objections
to them but says:
No judicial system can be
proposed which will be accepted
by all who are competent to form
an opinion as to the best possible
system If these amendments are
not adopted no other amendments
can be submitted to the people
until the expiration of FIVE years
from next January"
All admit that the proposed
amendments offer some relief tc
our judicial system and compare
lively few offer objections to any
part Of them, and even the OBJ.
jections offered are groundless il
New Jersey continues to have such
men in the future as she has
had in the past in her judiciary.

Almost every community suffers
from a class of boys whose chief
aim in life is to be smart. I"
Morristown is no exception and is
afflicted with some young Ameri-
cans" from sixteen to eighteen
years old whose 'smartness"
shows itself by trying to frighten
women and children. Some of
these boys have made practice of
tapping on window panes after
dark and throwing stones against
the front door. They only do
these things when they know the
women are alone. Perhaps they
will get over these tricks as they
grow older but such actions are very
annoying to say the least, and it
might be good thing to take
some radical measures to put a
stop to these doings now.
