This will permit the farmer to receive
ut his door parcels a though shipped

HEROIC JAPANESE r
A Mother Committed Suicide That
Her TO- Might Fight For Japan.

Her Son Might Fight For japan.
A London newspaper recently print
ed a report that a Japanese woman
committed suicide when she learned
that her only son. who had volunteered
to serve in the army, had been exempt
ed by the enrolling officers because his
mother was dependent upon him for
support. News of the heroic act of the
woman has spread throughout Japan.
The woman left a letter in which she
had written down her intention to end
her life in order that her son might 90
to the front and fight for his country.
She killed herself by sinking a knife
into her breast. Just before she died
she handed the knife to her son and
made signs to him to use it to defend
Japan. The son pocketed the weapon,
appeared again before the enrolling of
ficers and was this time accepted as a
private.
There have been a number of S
reported where wives have separated
from their husbands and accepted des-
titution in order to enable their hus-
Lands to go to the front.

HINTS FOR
Tile OF Open bitches.

A Clay county CKan.) correspondent
writes lis that lie has a swamp OF
about an acre on to which flows the
water from five acres. He wishes to
know whether he should use q tile or
open drain. and if tile how much fall
will be needed, what size Of tile should
be used and how he should fix the
head end of the tile, having to go but
$50 feet to find an outlet, This corrc-
spondent has always lived on rolling
land and does not like the idea Of a
mudhole in his field.
We would by all means tile. An
open ditch is a nuisance and should
be avoided wherever possible. AS to
fall, we would get all we could-a foot
per 100 feet IL possible-but would not
give up the project if we had only an
inch.
The size of the tile depends on the
amount Of water that drains into the
pond and also upon the amount Of
fall. A three inch tile would probably
do provided there was a fall Of six
inches per 100 feet. We would, how
ever, not take any chances, as it is
probable that the water from a good
deal more than the five acres gets into
that mudhole.
We would fix the end Of the tile by
making a catch basin in the center Of
the pond about a foot or two deeper
than the tile, would brick this up and
cover it over, run the main tile into
it, and If we We're obliged to use any
laterals we would also run them
through the brick, taking care that as
little sediment as possible gets in. If
we did not have brick, we would use a
barrel, boring holes into it to admit
the tile, leaving the head so we could
take it out when necessary to clean out
the sediment which will settle in be-
low the tile.-Wallace's Farmer.

Principles and Practice.


The question Of soil fertility is the
most important one before the agricul-
tural producer today. Fertile soil is
the foundation of his business. When
fertility fails production fails, and a
nonproductive farm is about the poor
est property there is. But the mainte.
nance or the restoration Of soil fertil.
ity is governed by certain principles
which are not yet sufficiently under
stood or applied by farmers. If they
were We should have no fertility prob
lem. Methods may differ: some may be
better than others. These each individ-
nal must determine for himself; no one
else IAN do it for him. But If he keeps
the principles always in view he will
work out the problem.

A Kitchen Garden

1t is about hopeless to urge that
farmers pay attention to a kitch-
en- garden If the garden must be cult
waited with a hoe. But this is not nee
essary. Most garden crops can be
planted in rows and a horse implement
used for stirring the soil and keeping
down the weeds. Strange as 1t may
seem, many farms do not have a good
variety Of small fruits or even vegeta-
bles. These can be had without much
trouble II the planning is done before

Country and City Wages.


Wages Of 1926 per working day
would look pretty big to a good many
young men in the country. Yet a Chi
cago bank has just issued an order to
the effect that nc employee who gets
less than $1,000 per annum shall marry
without permission Of his employers.
"A great deal of sport has been made Of
this rule, but the fact is that it is good
business sense. The bank takes the
position that a married man with an
income of less than $1,000 a year in a
great city can too easily live beyond
his means, in which case he may sue
cumb to temptation, as many have
done. All this illustrates the truth that
the cost Of living, in cities is, as we
have often said, getting to a point
where good salaries are necessary to
comfort. The limit may vary, we do
not say that 1t should be fixed at
$1,000, but the fact remains that wages
which look big in the country are bare
~ sufficient for a living in the city.
This Is a matter that should be better
understood by people who are tempted
by city wages to leave comfortable
homes in the country or In villages.
''Things are not what they SEEM to
the man who is ignorant Of the cost Of
living in town.-Stockman and Farmer.

Bright's Disease and
Diabetes News.

Law Offices of Henley & Costello,
San francisco, March 18, 1904.
To the legal profession of Billings:
l was a witness to the following:
About two years ago Prof. Yost OF
Palo Alto, who was in an extreme CON
dition due to advanced Bright's Dis
ease, came to my Office. He was at
tended by his physician, who was him.
self a victim of Diabetes. The object
of the visit was to meet a prominent
business nan who had for months
been investigating an alleged cure for
Bright's Disease and Diabetes, and
hear his verdict. He declared that
the cure had been discovered. Both
Prof. Yost and his physician at once
adopted the treatment. Within six
months both were so well along to-
wards recovery that they considered
themselves beyond danger and at this
date neither Bright's Disease nor
Diabetes hold any terrors for them,
and the physician is successfully using
the treatment in his practice.
Learning that my old law partner,
Judge r. r. Bigelow, for many years
Chief Justice of the State of Nevada,
had Bright's Disease and that though
he had had four or five of our best
physicians, yet that he had had to give
up practice and was in a serious con-
dition, I lost no time in telling him Of
the above. It resulted in his complete
recovery and he is again back to
active practice. AS to the durability
of chronic Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes l have no more doubt about it
than that I am living.
Sincerely yours,
BARCLAY HENLEY.
