Widespread interest and sympathy
have been aroused by the strange hal
luclnation and pathetic pilgrimage of
the Russian Doukhobors of Western
Canada. For time these peculiar peo-
pie made wonderful progress in the
new land to which they were brought
when their religious beliefs made resi-
dence in Russia no longer tolerable;
but lately ideas have spread among
them which in all breadth Of view and

Ing meat because it involved the she'd
ding pf blood, they next turned their
cattle loose because they considered
1t wrong for man to enslave the lower
animals. Then they discarded wooden
clothing for cotton and linen, and
leather shoes for footwear made of
rubber or binder Irvine. At last, in
the late fall, when the weather was
already severe. they began their pill
grimage"-a march ito look for Je.
sus,' as they expressed it. When some
when husbands and mothers had de.
serted their families the strong arm
of the law reached out and led them
gently back to their homes. The Incl
dent has been strange, pathetic and
impressive thing. Not even the most
cynical can doubt the sincerity of the
Doukhobors, nor the most suspicious
allege any but pure and holy motives
for their acts. Yet the heart of man.
kind in the aggregate understands that
they are wrong, and while it pities, re-
strains them. 1t may not be possible
to draw with absolute justice the line
between sane belief and fanaticism,
but it must never be forgotten that
Christ allayed rather than caused suf-
fering, and blessed and cherished the
human affections.

Selling Produce by Mail.


1t is not hard for farmer to work
up an interest by advertising desir-
able article in the right way and
through the right means. But half the
battle is in properly answering the in
quiries received. BY lack of prompt
ness, clealmess, defniteness and test
some letter writer's will drive away
possible customers about as fast as
good advertising brings them in. Use
a typewriter, which can be bought
second hand for a few dollars; answer
letters the same day received; by next
mail If possible. The first satisfactory
reply that reaches the buyer is likely
to get his order, and in making the
reply satisfactory everything counts.
lnclose sample or picture of what is
being sold. IL expedient. and try to
nix his choice on definite article or
specimen at an attractive stated price,
Judging what he wants from his letter.
1t Is this tact in adapting the reply to
the prospective customer which counts
as much as anything in securing or
ders. His confidence is to be secured,
his questions and scruples clearly and
tactfully met, and his Imagination
aroused over some special and definite
offer.-American Cultivator.

Is old age to be made q crime? 1t is
question that comes with the dis.
charge of old railroad men: with the
attempt to remove the old captains
of Cleyeland's police force; with u
pathetic incident in New York. where
police Inspector, old in years. was
made to turn flip-haps and skin the.
cat IN order to prove that he was en-
titled to remain on the force. Any
law or regulation that fixes rigid
business age limit; that forces men
to retire when they have lived stated
number of years, is bound to be un-
just. 1t also makes liars. The man
who looks 40, feels 40 and is 60 isn't
going to be an idler the rest Of his
days, simply because somebody with a
thirst for young blood in business has
fixed an age limit. Age can not be n
matter of years alone. 1t Is matter
of correct living, of temperament; yes,
of determination. There are old men
at 30 and young men at 10. There
are grandfatherS who can endure more
and do better work than their grand
sons. At so Gladstone was working
off his superhuous energy telling trees,
and Plato is said to have wrestled for
the sport there was in it at SO. Jem
Mace was the most famous fighter of
his day, and at 76 he was sparring.
John Ericsson wanted to prove his
soundness in wind and body, and SO
engaged in Il tug-of- war with two
young men. He pulled them off their
feet with ease. Yet their combined
years did not equal his age. He was
80. There isn't any end to the list.
Broken-down men are usually men
who never knew the real value of
health and who insulted their bodies.
The rules that are made for them
should never apply to the old oaks,
white-crested and unbending, who re.
fuse to measure their lives by years,
and who ask no odds of the busy
world, and would be men as long as
there is work to be done.

Agriculture in Country Schools.
Enough spasmodic theoriZation on
teaching practical agriculture and es-
thetic nature study in country districts
mas been expended to pay off the ma
tional debt, says the Rural World. Let
lis pass into the next stage of the argu-
ment and get down to ways and
means. 1t our children are to receive
elementary instruction in chemistry,
soil physics, vegetable biology, botany
and all the rest of the list. it follows
many are really capable of teaching
anything beyond the "a, b, abs" with
their hands tied behind them: 1t is
not enough that teacher may call up
the class in geography and perfume
torily conduct recitation With her
eyes glued to the book A teacher
should inspire pupils with the love OF
study. He should make the recita-
ton interesting. All this applies not
only to the teachings of agriculture
but to all branches taught in the coun-
try school, and serves to emphasize
VIZ ASSSu VI iuoplluS tLe CCutIdI VI
township school system, 1t is very
dlfhcult for any teacher to develop the
proper interest and enthusiasm in the
work of any branch of study with
only an attendance of two or three
pupils. On the other hand, it is a
great waste to employ good teachers
for only two or three students when
they can better instruct several times
that number. Under the present sys-
TEN there is large number of schools
Where the number of pupils 10 no
larger than the above. When the CEN
tralized plan is adopted it will be pos
slble with the same outlay to supply a
much better class Of instruction in all
branches and with "a per cent Of the
schools eliminated we believe it would
be possible to obtain an instructor for
each OF the remainder that would be
competent to give instruction In the
elementary principles of agriculture.
we believe our agricultural colleges
nave the capacity to turn out such in
structors as fast as they would be
wanted for such positions: and as in
all other things, whenever a demand
is created the supply will be forthcom-
ing. The instruction may be crude at
the start, as are most new enterprises;
but everything must have beginning
and strength is gained by growth and
experience. Some of the European
countries have been going ahead of us
in putting these things into practice.
For example, in the rural districts of
Sweden a garden is attached to every
school, and the children receive prac-
teal instruction in the cultivation .of
flowers, fruits and vegetables, and in
the management OF hot beds, green
houses and so forth.

more exhi1arating work than breaking
up a seasoned cedar rail A man who

after doing 1t again he could split

ground OF log. l had comrade who
had record of breaking up 500srails,

cedar, walnut, and oak rails in the

that this wholesale destruction gave
as much impetus to the barbed-wire
business as the settling up of the prai-
RE States.
He located after the war in Nebras-
ka. but got so lonesome with no fence
rails in sight that he returned to Ohio,
and moved from there when the peO-
pie began TO replace the old rail fences
with board and Wire fences. A year
ago he came to Chicago and 1 took him
out to Fort Sheridan, and incidentally
called his attention to the fine grade of
the wire fence inclosing the reserva-
tion. He was furious, and said that
if the government really wanted first

bnildf at every fort, and camp an old
fashioned rail fence. and let the boys
steal and burn the rails. as reward

How Fruit Men Cooperate.


Cooperation in fruit selling has
reached an advanced stage in the Mich
1gan apple belt. For instance, in the
case of the Fruit Growers Association
of Ludington, the stock amounts to FIVE
hundred shares, and each subscriber
must take at least one share for five
acres Of orchard. The company owns
large packing house, with side
track on one side and wagon drive
Son the other. There is wide veranda
on both sides, enclosed with Stats. Six
roller grades, which separate the fruit
into three sizes, are used. Baskets are
stored in the second story. and drop
down through chutes to the packing
tables, which are covered with canvas.
When the fruit is delivered, each man
receives credit for the proper number
OF bushels Of the given varieties. The
fruit is then graded and packed, and
each person receives his share OF the
proceeds when the fruit is sold. The
secretary of the company looks after
the buying and selling, and has charge
of the packing house. In this way a
uniform product is secured which large
buyers can depend upon, and the mid
dleman and his eXactions are excluded
