A Neglected Implement

The harrow is an implement that !.
too much neglected by farmers. For
preparing the soil surface for plant
ing they are absolutely necessary and
their economy is manifested in the
large number of acres that can be
gone over in day with one of them.
Land can not be properly prepared
for seeding without a harrow. Har-
rows are also useful for cultivating.
They are made especially for this
purpose and for working broadcast,
and for following rows. The weeders,
now so popular. are but notifications
of the harrow There is no implement
used on a farm which has so wide a
range of adaptability as the harrow
in its many forms.-Farm and Ranch.

The blood is life. Wederive from the blood
life, power, beauty and reason, as the doc
tors have been saying from time immemo-
rial A healthy body, fresh appearance,
and generally all the abilities we possess
depend on that source of life. 1t is, there
fore, the duty of every sensible man to
keep the blood as pure and normal as pos
sible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has
given us a thermometer indicating the state
Of the blood, which appeals to our reason
by giving notice of its impurity. Small erup-
tons of the skin, to which we scarcely pay
any attention, headache, ringing noises in
the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are gen.
orally a sign that the blood is not in nor
nal state, but is filled with noxious sub.
stances. These symptoms deserve our full
attention. If more attention were paid to
these symptoms and steps taken to remove
them, then many illnesses from which we
suffer would become unknown, and the hui
man body would become stronger and health
Ter. Attention, therefore, should be paid
to those warning signs, and the blood can
be purified and poisonous substances re-
moved from it by the use of Dr. August
Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more
than 60 years ago.

The Farmer who Fair.

You have seen him, and heard him
bewail the hard lot of the farmer
how he is oppressed by taxes and har-
RED by hard-hearted collectors, how
his crops will not grow, his stock
dies, and the scarcity of markets for
things he has to sell; in fact. he is
never able to find a decent market,
notwithstanding the Tact that there
are hundreds of families eager to buy
products they feel they have not time
to raise. And then the wicked cor
porations pinch him until he cries out
Justify that we, are on the verge of a
financial crisis. For him, the sea-
sons are too long or too short, too
hot or too cold, too wet or too dry.
All Nature is at outs with him. We
grant that there are hardships and
perplexities in the life of the farmer;
but so are there in every other line
of business. We grant, also, that the
profits are not as large as they should
be; but this is more the fault of the
farmer himself than of any other
person. But that all obstacles are be-
yond our control, and depend on the
vengeance of Fate, we can not admit.
1t is preposterous and beyond the
pale of reason and sense. So far as a
living is concerned, anyone who has
industry. and even ordinary sense, in
most regions of our country can raise
a great variety of fruit and vegeta-
bis, which in the hands of skilled
cook can be made into dainty, whole
some dishes. For the farmers wife,
who has bounteous Nature to bless
her with an abundance, there is no
excuse to palliate the offense of poor
cookery.-Farm and Fireside.

WHY so SLOW TO LEARN ?
Numerous Factors In Farm Economy
which, N Observed, Would Tend
to Greater PROFIT.

As we go here and there over the
country and see the condition of the
farms we are constantly impressed
with the fact that our southern farm
ers are slow to learn. They have been
taught by observation and experience
and instruction many things of i'm
portance. But they do not seem to
have learned them.
Their practices are much the same
as they were a generation ago. A
thousand experiments have proved
the value of deep soil, but the average
farmer is still blowing shallow.
1t took fifteen years to teach them
the value of cottonseed and it is quite
as difficult to teach them the value of
their corn-stalks. They continue to
throw away valuable crop after it
has been made.
The same is true in regard to beef
cattle. 1t is well-cstablished truth
that the common scrub cattle of the
country will not make first-class
beevs. A Shorthorn or Here
ford can be raised for about the same
cost as scrub, and be worth more
than twice as much, often three
times as much. But we see the coun-
try filed with scrubs.
They seem to have learned that the
razor-back hog is no good, but why
do they not learn the same fact about
the scrub or native cows?
Their experience has shown them
that cotton is, the most expensive and
least profitable crop that they grow.
but still they persist in planting and
growing SO much cotton that the
price is kept too low for profit.
They have been taught that 1t is
not good business to rush their cot
ton on the market every fall faster
than the demands of trade will call
for it. But here they go, from the
field to the gin, from the gin to the
warehouse and sell regardless of the
market demands.
2 s.T'hey see the value, yea, the neces-
sity of organization in every voca
ton Of life, yet they refuse to come
together and help each other, and
by so doing. help themselves
They see the folly and ruinwrough'
every year by the credit and mort
gage system, still they go on buying
ON time things that they could easil,
raise on their farms. They mortgag'
what they have and what they expec
10 have for things that they ccni'
nav for. So we might go on an'
lengthen this list. Why. we ask, ar
the farmers of the. south SO slow q

Has a Water Plan for Co1fax.

ColfaX may have good supply
Of pure artesian water, if the plan
suggested by w. J. Roberts, assist
ant professor of civil engineering at
the w. A. c., is followed. Colfax
gets her water from the Palouse
river, into which the sewerage of
Palouse and Elberton is poured, and
during the rainy season, when the
river is muddy, the city water is not
fit for even laundry purposes. Pull
man has the best water in the in
land empire, being supplied with
artesian wells. Numnrous efforts
to obtain artesian water in Colfax
have failed and the same is true at
Guy, six miles from this city.
Professor Roberts says that he
thinks artesian water can be obtain
ed four miles west of Pullman, where
there is marked difference in the
rock formation and a dixie of rock
which he thinks shuts off the artes-
ian water, crosses the country.
That would make the artesian we'll
IA miles from Colfax. Professor
Roberts suggesrs sinking a ten inch
we'll at that point and if a flow of
artesian water is found he says that
would supply Colfax for many
years and that it can be carried to
Colfax by gravity, as Colfax is 600
feet lower than Pullman. His idea
is to use ten-inch wooden pipe,
wrapped with galvanized wire, which
he says, will last as long as the wire
and will not need to be laid as deep
as iron pipe because it is not likely
to freeze and burst.
Professor Roberts thinks that this
pipe can be laid for $4,000 per mile,
or $42, 900 for the IA miles. He
says that the bonds to put in this
system could be sold for S per cent
or less and the annual interest on
these bonds would be much less
than the annual cost of operating
the present pumping plant at Col
fax. Should this plan be carried
out, Colfax, instead of using the
sewerage of other towns, would
have as good water as Pullman and
at less cost than the present system,
which has never been satisfactory.
The citizens of Colfax are insisting
that something be done and the
plan suggested by Professor Roberts
may be given trial.
