Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1903-10-07

The rural mail routes have now been
in operation long enough to enable one
to form some sort Of an opinion as to
their effect upon the farmers as a
whole. The community in which we
live was given five rural mail routes
and seven farm telephone lines at the
same time. These twin modern i'm
provements are revolutioniZing farm
life. The business of the farm is more
easily and expeditiously transacted,
much valuable time is saved, the daily
paper puts the farmer in touch with
what is going on in the world and is
widening his views of things and lift
ing him up on to higher plane of liv-
ing. He is given a better knowledge
of the markets and sells his produce to
better advantage, the isolation of farm
life is in large measure removed and
the man and his folks are in intimate
touch with their fellows. The farm has
been given a name and neatly printed
stationery advertises the homestead,
the owner and the specialties in stock
or crops which it produces. The fam
lily is becoming more and more content
ed with farm life and is beginning to
appreciate the many advantages which
its rural home and environment pos
sess. The farm home from which so
many of the young people fed in the
past years as soon as they could has
been thus changed and made attractive,
while the old folks, instead Of moving
to town to live, are becoming content
to end their days on the old farm where
they have lived and worked so long.
To the wife and mother has the lar
gest measure of blessing come, she who
lived a weary, lonesome and isolated
life. For her a new world has been
opened, and for the first time she finds
life worth living. In all it is safe to
say that no particular branch Of mod
ern progress has ever more beneficent-
ly affected the interests of the farm
than has the introduction of the agen-
cies referred to. Some critics, the kick
ers. say that the rural routes will new
er pay their way. What if they do not?
There are thousands of post office
routes which were, since they were
started, run at loss to the govern.
ment before the day of rural mail de-
livery. The men who lay the founda-
tons for so much of the national pros
perity and business are entitled to con-
sideration, and any attempt to deprive
them of the rural mail service will
start an instruction and bury out of
sight any politicians who attempt it.

and probably gone for good. Possibly
the destruction of the woods may &C
count for the disappearance Of the
whippoorwill. whose quaint and al
most ghostly call used to break the pro-
found and solemn stiffness of the mid
summer EVENING" call closely asso-
ciated with the chir-r of the tree toad,
the flashes from a low lying and dis
tant thundercloud and the fragrance OF
June roses held captive by the humidi-
ty of June night. In common with its
near relative the night hawk, its habits
but ill fitted it to survive contact with
mans benevolent civilization-his mer-
CHESS small boy. his prowling cats, his
barbaric partner, who would have UNI
feelingly worn a wing from Noah's
dove were but such the fashion-or
possibly these birds, even If in no man
ner molested by man, have, in common
with other types of wild life migrated
to sections of the country where nei-
Their man nor his work has marred the
fair face of nature.

BIRDS ON THE GROUND.

How many of the boys and girls who
read these notes from week to week
ever noticed the difference in the gait
of birds when they move about on the
ground? Nearly every kind of bird
has a gait peculiar to it alone. Just
watch it and see. The crow has a
stately walk. the sparrow moves as
though hopping on one leg, the kildeer
makes a fast run and an abrupt stop,
the robin takes six or seven short
jumps and then stops, as does the
brown thrasher; the grackle being Of
the crow family, walks deliberately
and stately, as does the crow; the pi-
geon walks as do hens, ducks, turkeys,
geese, prairie hens, quail, ruffed
grouse, crane and other birds of their
kind; the humming bird flies-never
saw one move any other way. Boys
and girls will find it very interesting
to watch the birds not only in this par
ticular, but also as to their habits OF
nest building and migration and note
the food they eat and their almost in
estimable value to man.

its original flavor, though long and pa
tiently sought for, has not been discov-
cred until lately. There is almost an

HOME CURED MEATS,

While it is a great convenience to
have the butcher kill and dress the
meats needed on the farm, it is still
poor economy for the farmer to sell to
the butcher at wholesale prices and
buy his meat back at retail figures.
The almost lost art of corning and
drying beef, of preparing sausage, salt
pork. smoked hams and bacon should
be revived at every farmhouse. No
packing house product compares in
quality with the old fashioned home
cured meats. We would not wish to
bring back the old hog KILN time"
because all that is far better done by
others. but the care of the meat and
its preservation for future use should
be one of the farm economies.
Excessive rains have greatly dam
aged and lessened the crops OF Great

A novel and very interesting thing is
announced by the agricultural depart
ment at Washington. 1t is well known
that our legumes-clovers alfalfa and
their kind-will not grow and thrive in
many places simply owing to the alb.
sence of the bacterial life in the soil
essential to their development. The
department has been engaged in the
identified ton and propagation of these
bacteria and is now, we learn, ready to
furnish colonies Of them to farmers,
with directions how to inoculate the
seed of the clover or alfalfa before
sowing and thus secure vigorous and
healthy growth of these most indis-
pensable soil renovators. If this is as
stated most valuable contribution to
the agricultural science of the day has
been made.
