THE RuRAL MAIL sERvIcE.

Reforms move slowly out on the
farms, but the rural mail service has
proved an exception to this rule In
just a few years, about five, 100000
country people have come to be served
with daily mail, and no greater boon
was ever devised for the farmers Of
the country. The first postmaster gen
eral who was intrusted with small
appropriation to experiment with in
this line was so opposed to the scheme
on general principles that one of the
first routes he laid out was in the
mountain district of a southern state
where the people make moonshine
whisky and can't read or write,
where of course the rural mail was a
dead failure. Later it was tried in
more civilized communities with entire
success and has steadily grown into
its present enormous proportions.

SHE WON'T WALK.

There is little doubt that if the
American weman would take more
outdoor exercise she would be>much
stronger and healthier. The American
woman does not take kindly to walk
ing as does her English sister, who
makes as serious a business of her
daily walk as she does of her church
going. Nothing like a walk to drive
away the megrims and blues, to put
color in the cheek, to bring the sharp
appetite and the refreshing slumber.
The Englishwoman walks regardless
of any business to call her abroad; the
American will only walk when she
has somewhere to go or can't catch a
street car. But our women are great
on buggy riding and have found out
that walking develops large feet, and
that settles it.

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The writer's elementary and primary
training in agriculture was before the
era of the chilled steel pillow and other
tools and with the OK team as motive
power. The grain was sown and the
corn planted by hand, the moving all
done with a scythe, the cutting of the
grain with q cradle. the thrashing Ell
Their done with a fail or the grain
tramped out by horses on the barn
floor the time when the hired man
had to be furnished with his ration of
whisky in haying and harvest, when
the hunting and the fishing was of the
best and when society was not both
cred with women's clubs and pink
teas, when the meat supply for the
farm was killed and cured on the farm,
when a supply of maple sugar was
made every spring and a barrel or two
of sorghum molasses in the fall-the
good old days, we call them now, days
whose work, worry and privation we
have forgotten, only remembering
those things which modern progress
and development have deprived US of.
The years have robbed the farm of
much Of its slavery and in doing so has
destroyed much of its sentiment.

ALFALFA EXPERIMENTS.

The growing of alfalfa is receiving
marked and increasing attention in all
the states east of the Missouri river.
Most of the work being done is expert
mental, small patches tried on different
soils and locations. Enough success
has rewarded these efforts so that the
good work will be more and more ex-
tended. 1t seems to be definitely set
tied that the failures are more trace
able to the soil not being properly in
oculated with the bacterial life essen
tial to the development and health of
the plant than any other thing. Alfal-
ia is such a needed factor in the food
ration Of the corn belt region that no
effort to secure it should be left I'M
DONE A ten acre field of alfalfa on any
160 acre farm would enable the owner
to perfectly balance all the rations fed
his stock from the hen to the horse.
There is no one thing which is so well
worth experimenting with as alfalfa

MADISON BOY.

come at very little cost, as they can
be kept on grass and water from spring
until late in the fall, says a correspond
ent of Commercial Poultry. Nearly
every farmer has some meadow near
his buildings which could be utilized to
a very good advantage by deyoting it
to goose culture. The only time you
have to feed any grain is in winter,
and then very little is required to keep
them in good breeding condition. Feed
a little oats, cut clover and green corn
stalk leaves, oyster shells and plenty
Of water and little corn at night on
real cold days, and your breeding geese
will be in the best of condition when
the breeding season arrives. Madison

A RAILWAY CUT.

There is long forty-fve degree cot on
a railway right of way, the subsoil ex-
posed for depth of thirty feet-clay,
gravel, stones, quicksand-a most I'M
promising site for vegetable growth, but
now watch and see how nature tackles
this job. The first year because of the
washing but little vegetation can OBJ
tain foothoId, but a few stalks of
sweet clover get hold, and some quack
grass and bindweed, and little by lit
tie, as the face of the cut becomes set
tied and partially covered with growth,
a legion Of vagrant weeds and plants
seek foothold sunfower, aster, gold
enrod-and in few years, if the sec
ton hands will let it alone, there will
be found one of natures floral master
pieces. Nature hates bare ground, and
poor indeed is the soil and scant the
rainfall where she will not hide the
skeleton form of old Mother Earth with
some form of verdure.

THE BOY AND HIS ACRE.

The boy was given an acre of fairly
good land to work, he to have what he
could raise on it. What did he do
with it? He worked mornings and
evenings until he had put twenty loads
of manure on the land as starter.
He then plowed and narrowed it down
until it was in as good condition as
a garden. He then planted one-half
of it with the very earliest maturing
potatoes he could find, and the other
half he put into blackseed onions.
The potatoes he cultivated thoroughly
with horse cultivator, the onions
with hand cultivator, hiring some
boys to help him weed out the latter
crop. The season was favorable, and
he sold sixty bushels of early pota-
toes at 81 bushel and 250 bushels
of onions later at As cents a bushel,
receiving for his crop total of $172.50
less SIS for help and ST for seed. He
will take in the worlds fair this year
and do the Pike to a finish. Other
boys might do just as well if they
would

FOR THE TRAVELLER.
How Various Ills May Be Relieved
With Simple Remedies.


Some of the following remedies may
prove beneficial for car sickness, says
the Ladies' Home Journal. 1t must be
remembered, however that what one
person may have found invaluable may
not always have the same good effect
on another.
Foremost is the old time remedy,
lemon juice If this is taken freely,
undiluted, it will usually prove pre-
yentiVe. Another remedy is clam juice.
Cool the juice with ice and drink as
much as desired. Tablets of black
Iicorice and pieces of cinnamon bark
are also recommended. Ii thin smoked
beef is put in the oven until crisp and
piece taken at intervals during the
journey it may prevent sickness. Ly-
ing down in a berth in sleeper may
cause sickness, whereas one may not
be affected if only slightly reclining.
For seasickness nibbling cloves is
warmly advocated; also inhaling vim
egar. An old remedy is to place a
sheet of writing paper against the
stomach.
In case of a sick headache on board
either boat or train an ice bag often
will bring relief. A little silk or mo-
hair bag, lined with rubber cloth and
having a drawing string, may be tuck
ed in one corner of your bag for this
emergency.
A sick headache is often caused
when travelling by inability to get
meals at the usual time. Not many
people know that few raisins carried
in tiny box and eaten from time to
time often will avert a headache. Raj
sins contain a great deal of nourish-
ment The practice of eating sweet
milk chocolate when meals are delayed
is becoming almost universal.
To allay thirst when there is no
water, or, at least, no good water, to
be obtained, a cube of sugar soaked
in lemon juice is excellent. Lemons
are valuable travelling companions.
Sweetened lemon juice added to water
is much better for drinking than plain
water on boats or trains.
For toothache, rubbing the gum with
quinine in powdered form is recon-
mended The powder should be held
in the mouth as long as possible.
To remove a cinder from the eye the
insertion of flaxseed almost always
will prove efficacious.
Candles and box of safety matches
are often friends in need, and it is a
good plan to include them in ones
baggage especially when travelling
abroad

how to Make orange sherbet.

Take the juice of six oranges and
four lemons, five cups of sugar, two
tablespoonfuls of orange extract and
the grated rinds of two oranges. Scald
the rinds of the lemons and oranges in
one quart of boiling water. After fiji
teen minutes remove the rinds, strain
the water and add to the rest of the in
gradients with enough cold water to
make an exact gallon Of mixture.
Freeze and serve in glasses or half
skins of the oranges. This makes a
delicious and attractive sherbet, and
it is bright orange in color. If any
thing in the recipe is omitted the sher-
bet is not good.

POTPOURRI JARS.
How 20 Make One THAT VIII Keep
Fragrant For Years.

-
The never failing delight of pot
pourr. jar prepared from fresh roses
petals lemon verbena leaves, rose ger
anium and other sweet scented flowers
is known only to its fortunate posses
sor. 1t is easy to prepare one and, once
prepared, so easy to keep at the point
of perfection that l marvel they are
not more frequently made, says a
writer in Good Housekeeping.
The rose petals and other blossoms
should be gathered in the morning as
early as possible after the dew has
dried off. Be sure and have no water
on them, then put them in a large stone
jar and sprinkle little salt over half
inch layers. | use a salt shaker, as it
distributes the salt more evenly The
petals can be added from day to day
till enough for your purpose have been
gathered Let them stand in the jar
for twelve days after the last are put
in and stir the whole thoroughly every
day with wooden fork. (A salad fork
is good to use.) Grind coarse an ounce
of allspice, cloves and fine stick CHINA
mon. Transfer your petals to another
jar and scatter the spices, mixed to-
gether, in layers alternately with the
flowers. Cover the jar very tight and
let it stand in a dark place for three
weeks to .'ripen,' when your stock
will be ready for the permanent jar.
OF course this may be as handsome
as you can afford, but whatever it is it
should be provided with double cover.
Now have ready quarter of an ounce
each Of allspice, cloves and mace, all
coarsely ground, half grated nutmeg,
half an ounce of cinnamon, an ounce
of the best powdered orris root and
quarter of a pound of dried lavender
I flowers. Mix all together in large
bowl and proceed to fill your perma-
nent rose jar with alternate layers of
the stock and the mixture.
If you like you may add few drops
each of the following essential oils,
which should be dropped upon the lay
ers as you proceed: Rose, geranium,
neroli and bitter almond. (The last is
a deadly poison, if taken internally, SO
keep away from childish hands.) Over
the whole pour an ounce of the finest
cologne or rose extract.
This quantity will fill two quart
jar and it will keep for years and years.
You may add to it various sweet bios
SONS from time to time, and if the jar
be left open half hour each day it
will fill your apartments with fra

FORCING HENS TO MoLT.
Result of an Experiment seems to
Prove It's yaiue.

A trial of Van Dresser method of
forcing hens to mott has been made by
the West Virginia experiment station,
and results are publishSI in bulletin
SO, says American Agriculturist The
experiment was begun Aug. 5, 1902,
with two pens Of Rhode Island Reds
and two pens of White Leghorns, about
two years old. One pen of each brood
received no food for thirteen days, ex-
cept what they could pick up in their
runs, which had been sown to oats
in the spring. These runs were 10 feet
wide and 100 feet long, and nearly all
the oats had been picked from the
heads. The other two lots of fowls
were fed as usual.
AT the end of the thirteen days all
four lots of fowls were fed literally
Thirty days after the test began the
pen Of Rhode Island Reds which had
received no food had practically
complete coat of new feathers and had
begun to lay, and within week one
half of the hens were laying regularly.
The other lot of Rhode Island Reds
were just beginning to molt, and the
egg production had dropped down to
two or three eggs per day in a flock Of
twenty hens. Both lots of White Leg
horns were a trifle slower in melting
than the Rhode Island Reds, but other
wise the treatment affected them in a
similar way.

THE STORY IT COULD TEL.

That big bowlder which lies down in
the pasture could tell you an inter-
esting story if it could only talk-how it
was born during some dim period Of
the old worlds history; how it long
lay buried deep, subjected to q pres
sure inconceiyable; how as the crust Of
the earth cooled and the mountains
were formed by the contraction it
was heaved up from its bed, to be
later seized by the clutch of mighty
glacier, slow drifting to the south, then
to be released by the sun and dropped
10 your pasture. Gnarly and scanned,
smoothed by the awful grinding Of its
long trip, hoary headed and indestruct-
ible, it lies there rated as a nuisance
bnt nevertheless with wonderful
story to tell not only to you, but to
your progeny ten thousand years from
now.

How to Bottle Lemon Juice.

To keep lemon juice ready for use
squeeze out the juice in the usual man
ner, strain free from pulp and pips,
add white powdered sugar in the pro-
portion Of one pound to pint of the
juice, stir it until the sugar is quite dis
solved, then put it away in very small
bottles. Put teaspoonful of salad oil
in the top and cork it close. When
wanted for use take out the cork care
fully and take up the oil with bit of
cotton wool To use for lemonade, add
one large tablespoonful to gill of
water.

A Good WhfteYxasIl.

A whitewash needs to be well made
to do the work, as it too often falls off
in flakes after the wood is dry. Slack
en- your lime in hot water, make it as
thick, If possible. as soft soap, then
thin with kerosene oil. Now you have
a whitewash that will both stick to the
houses and kill the lice.
Apply the whitewash while hot and
be sure that all cracks and corners get
plenty of it. Do your embarrassing in
the morning, so that by night the
houses will be dry and comfortable

Give the Layers Room.

One of the most important conditions
for layers is to be provided with plenty
of room. We often see a hundred hens
crowded up in room only large
enough for thirty. The space required
of course depends on the size Of the
birds. The small breeds, like the Leg
horns, will do very well with only FIVE
square feet of floor space, while the
larger breeds win require from six to
ten square feet.-Commercia Poultry.

wheat and cracked corn. These feeds
seem high priced; but, counting results,
they are really cheap.--Poultry Herald

How to Keep shoes Looking smart

How to Keep shoes Looking Smart.
Lax in their CATERS, laxer in their
gait" is an old saying which applies
well to the modern shoe and its wear
er. No shoe will keep in shape long
unless it is put on a tree when out of
use. These trees" are very cheap,
but most women look upon them as an
extravaganza. Another rule of the
carefully shod woman is to rest her
shoes for day or so and always wear
different pair indoors. Low shoes
are better for house wear, as they per
NIT of ventilation. Select a strong
calfskin for a walking boot keep it
well oiled, and your pedestrian trips
will be made in perfect comfort. Keep
an old pair of shoes to wear under
rubbers, as the pgspiration which in
dia rubber excites ruins good leather.
