irrigation Congress is Of Great Inn
 ponance.

Fl Paso, Tex, Sept, 1904.
 The approaching session of the
 National Irrigation congress to be
 held in this city is attracting wide spread attention, says the Fl Paso
 Morning Times. The people and press of the country are awakening to the fact that the government should aid in the work of reclaim ing the vast areas of arid lands and thus make room for 10000, GOO more happy homes in sections of country now barren, and on fertile lands now lying idle, waiting for irrigation.
 The St Louis Globe Democrat Tn an editorial on the Fl Paso ses- sion of the irrigation congress saws:
 The official call issued for the meeting of the twelfth national Irrigation congress, to be held at El Paso, Texas, on November 15-lS, 1904, IS of interest to the whole country. It is of special in- terest to the trans Mississippi re- zion, in which all the arid lands are situated. AS announced, the object of national irrigation is to save the forests, to store the floods for use in the dry seasons, to re- claim the deserts and to build homes on the country's vast lands.
 There ought to be large at- tendance at the irrigation conven- tion at Fl Paso. That Texas town IS not central, even as regards the arid region. but 1t is wide awake community, and it has a decided interest in the work which will be done by the irrigationists. Some of the region of insufficient rainfall IS in Texas. That state, like all the rest of the country west Of the Mississippi-and. in fact, of the entire country east and west-will be benefited by the work of re. the deserts which has just been started. 1t is estimated that the irrigation work will add p, 100000 or 30,000,0OO to the pos sible population which the country will be able to support. The pro- ducts of the arid region under the coming conditions will add largely to the country's power as a great and growing nation Missouri ard the rest of the states and territor- ies west Of the Mississippi must see to 1t that they are adequately represented at the desert reclama- ton congress at Fl Paso."

RULES FOR RUNNING DAIRY.
If You Follow Them You Will Avoid
Many Annoyances That Now
Beset You.

The rules Of the Vermont Dairy as
sociation contains the following: The
mixer should be clean, and his clothes
likewise. Brush the udder Just before
milking and wipe with clean cloth or
sponge. Milk quietly, quickly and thor
ughly. Throw away into the gutter
the first few streams from each teat.
This milk is very watery, of very little
value and is quite apt to injure the re-
mainder of the milk Remove the milk
promptly from the stable to clean. dry
room, where the air is pure and sweet
Drain the milk through a clean flannel
cloth, or through two or three thick
nesses of cheesecloth. Aerate and cool
the milk as soon as it is strained. The
cooler 1t is the more souring is retard-
ed. If covers are left off the cans, cover
with cloths or mosquito netting. Never
mix fresh milk with that which has
been cooled nor close can containing
warm milk. nor allow it to freeze. I'm
der no circumstances should ANYTHING
be added to milk to prevent it souring
Such doings violate the laws of both
God and man. The chemicals which
are used for this purpose are slow pois-
ons. Cleanliness and cold are the only
preservatives needed. In hot weather

ket or canvas when moved in a wagon,
Musty, sour food, dusty litter or fodder

THROUGH HIS "ALFALFAs."
Speech Became Entangled and Lost
Its Way in the Foliage on
Speakers Face.

At the live stock show recently held
in Chicago Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson was one Of the speakers at a
mass meeting of cattle men. Behind him
on the same platform, relates the New
York Herald, somewhat screened from
observation, sat Norman j. Colman, the
first man to hold the portfolio OF agri-
culture.
Secretary Wilson made a happy speech,
and because OF his popularity with the
western ruralist he was the shining, cen
trail figure of the gathering. When he
had finished talking lusty lungs and sun
burned hands gave him NOISY appreciation.
The applause had not ceased when a Ne
braska farmer, with whiskers like Senator
PETERS, arose in the back of the hall and
said:
Gentlemen, we are all mighty glad to
hear Secretary Wilson and are ready to
do him honor, but let us not forget the
other great men we have with us We
have on the same platform tonight the
alfalfa and omega of agriculture'-
1t was as far as the speaker ever got.
His few remaining words were lost in the
shrieks of laughter

SHE SOWED LIVER PILLS.
But 1t Is Not at All Likely That She
Waited for Them to
Take Root,

There is woman in Phoenix, Arz,
who has the correct idea all right, but,
whether it will work out remains for the
future to disclose, states the Republican
of that town.
Recently her husband bought a small
ranch, and with him she has been much
interested in planning improvements espe-
cially in the growing line, with which to
adorn the place.
The other day beds were prepared for
sweet peas, and the lady of the house was
busily engaged in asserting her seeds and
carrying, the little packets out of doorsf
where their contents were transferred to
the beds in regular order. As each variety
was planted, the name was placed on a
small marker as is the custom with gar
deners.
In particularly choice location the con-
tents Of packet were laboriously dropped,
one by one, until the row was filed and
the earth nicely smoothed over it, When
the lady picked up the packet to properly
write the marker she discovered that she
had carefully planted her mothers pack

wheel beneath. There are no belts, no
cOgs. The weight of the animal bears
the part of the large inclined wheel
upon the smaller wheel beneath and
causes it to revolve
A discarded wagon wheel might be
used as the framework of the large
wheel, mailing boards on the upper
surface for the animal to walk on, or a
frame is easily made, and if somewhat
larger than a wagon wheel-say six
feet or seven feet in diAmeter-the cir
Gle will be larger and the animal will
find the walking more direct The
under wheel may be six or eight inches
in diameter The power is increased
by giving the large wheel more pitch.
and diminished by setting it more
nearly level.-Orange Judd Farmer.

SETTING THE FRUIT TREES
How an Orchard of Any Kind May Be
Made to Look Attractive as
Well as Thrifty.

Young orchards should be set so the
trees may be in exact rows. 1t requires
little more work than the slipshod
methods too often used. An orchard
in which the trees are accurately set is
a joy forever. while one in which they
are set in a haphazard fashion is an
eyesOre.
The contention that sighting the
trees themselves will not give perfect
ly straight rows is also sound. l can

ATTRACTIVE FARM LAWNS.
Yard in the Land Should Not
Be Beautifed.

Nothing so beauties a dwelling as
to be set in the center Of well kept
lawn. There is no reason why the
farmer and his family should not en-
JOY the possession of an attractive door
yard, since every facility is at hand
for grading, planting and keeping
pretty lawn. The dwelling should, if
possible, be located on a slightly ell
evated knoll. but often the site has
already been selected and the building
erected in which case it may be neces-
sary to grade to the desired elevation.
One can not endure low sloppy door
yard, hence the ground Immediately
around the house should be higher than
at the outer edge of the yard. Early
spring is the best time to SOW the grass
seed. Kentucky blue grass is a gener-
al favorite for lawns. This should be
very thickly sown to produce a mat the
first season. If, however, one sue
ceeds in getting a fair, even stand,
he need have no concern regarding the
lack of density as this grass thickens
up from year to year. In arranging
the lawn, have very few shrubs or
trees in the center. There should be
planted at the outer edge, preferably
at the rear and sides of the building.
Do not obscure the view from the road
way. If there are unsightly buildings
a screen of vines run on a wire trellis
will be found effectual in hiding them
from the occupants of the dwelling as
well as from passers-by. A very pref
ty effect may be had by planting
few beds of profuse boomers of diff
ferent colors very near the house. at
the ends or side of the porch or around
the bay window. Provision may be
made to have these beds in bloom from
early spring to late autumn, by using
bulbs for early spring blooming, an
nuals for summer, and chrysanthe-
NUNS, cosmos and other autumn
blooming plants. Their beauty is en-
HANGED by the greenery about them

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Mrs
A. /. Smith, OF this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasize
her recommendation by the following ex
pcrience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with CRAZY
Spells that would last a week and would
then pass off. In a month she would have
the spells again. At these times she
would eat very little and was very yellow
even the whites of her eyes would be vel
low.
The doctors gave us no encouragement
they all SAID they could not help her
After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell Oh
course, we continued the treatment un
til she had used in all about a dozen
boxes. and we still give them to her oc
casonally, when she is not feeling well
DOdd's Kidney Pills are certainly the bes,
medicine for growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs
Smith. for by so doing they may save
their daughters much pain and sickness,
and ensure healthy happy future fol
them.
