Mrs. DORA A. WEYMOUTH

The town of Wellington, Kansas, has
oeen boycotted by 500 farmers, who have
signed an agreement not to buy any goods
IN that town until the authorities close the
saloons.
Mrs. Awe are all Prohibitionists ut
our house. We don't vote it, of course. for
we don't believe in telling a man what he
shall do or what he shall not do. We be-
lieve in personal liberty"
Mrs. B.--"But we do tell men what thew
shall and shall not do. We tell them that
they shall not kill their fellow men with a
gun and surely what is the difference
whether you shoot man with revolver
or Kill him with whisky? Isn't it murder
in either case?"
Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens, President of
the National W. G. T.. u, writes from Port
land, Me-, the following vigorous and en-.
couraging letter, under date of April 6:
AT the present time the prohibitory law
is well enforced in Is of the 16 counties of
the state, and in the 10th county the con-
ditions are much better than they would
be under any form of license, and SIREN
uous effort is making for the turning out of
the unfaithful officials. The tendency in
Maine is not to change the law, but to
change the officials when they fail to do
their duty"
The Brannock Bill is passed. Local OPP
ton triumph in Ohio with vote of 81 to G..
Measures to protect resident districts from
saloons goes through with whirl. All
opposition is literally swamped.
In the United States last year there was
consumed of spirits, wine and malt liquors
the enormous sum of 1606 545, 301 gallons
and of absolute alcohol 139,O02, I'll gallons
Is there .any one who can compute the
misery contained in that vast sum of in
toxicants?
Tennessee is probably the dryest state
next to Maine in the union. Liquor is ex-
cluded from all but II towns and cities.
All of these twelve"towns and cities do not
comprise more territory than is included
in one good sized county.
Let every prohibitionist and every friend
of temperance please to be in Caldwell and
attend the state convention May and 5.

FAVORABLE DECISION.
Good Roads, Says the Iowa Supreme
Court, Are of Benefit to Every
Citizen of the State

A decision which is favorable to the
Improvement of the highways has been
rendered by the Iowa supreme court,
and is based on the principle that
good highways are of general bene-
, fit, not only to the territory through
which they pass, but to the inha habitants
of cities and towns, by facilitating
travel, and thus promoting intercourse
and trade"
The question at issue was on the
right of a county to collect taxes in
cities and towns for road purposes.
A railroad company claimed that it
was double taxation, on the ground
that the cities already laid a tax
for their own streets, and further
claimed that taxes could not be levied
in one part of a county to use in an
other part.
The court decided against these
claims and, it would seem, very justly.
1t is a very shortsighted policy for a
rity to desire to limit its work of road
Improvement to it's own borders. In
order to grow and prosper and main
tain a healthy activity the roads from
the surrounding country which nour-
ish it and take it's merchandise in re-
turn must be kept open and in good
condition. This is at least as impor.
tant for the city as for the country,
and they should divide the expense in
right proportion.-L. A. w. Bulletin.

For a Permanent Pasture.

/ When practicable permanent pas
ture is desirable. Fields that are adapt
ed to the production of titled crops that
are under a close rotation cannot be
pa.stured with profit. If a crop of clover
or timothy is removed in the rotation
there is nothing gained by grazing the
young grass nor the growth after the
crop is removed. The soil needs more
of this organic matter than it gets at
the best, and this aftermath is worth
more as food to the soil than to stock.
The skinning of the titled fields by
stock and the tramping when the land
is wet are responsible for many fail
ures to get profitable crops. If less de-
sirable land can be laid down to per-
manent grasses and stock be confined to
this land, the plowed land of the farm
has better chance.

SOME HELPFUL HINTS.

! Scatter manure as fast as it il
hauled out.
| Get all of the manure out possible be-
fore planting.
Breeding from immature stock has a
strong tendency to degenerate the Off
spring.
\ One object in pruning is to lessen
the amount of fruit and increase its
quality.
: Feed the growing pigs good ration
of ship-stuf wet up with skim-milk
twice daily.
J Clean, well-ftting harness for the
work teams will often save having sore
shoulders.
| In order that the horses may get the
full benefit of their rest at noon, al
ways remove the harness.
. With pigs it is always best to push
the growth and sell young, and in that
way lessen the risk of loss.
Stops made of bran and middlings
with skim-milk makes one of the very
best foods for sucking sows.
The aim in breeding should be to
build up vitality, standing and capa-
bility for rapid development.
Commence cultivating as soon as
possible after planting. This is the
easiest way of keeping in good con-
dition.-FNarmers' Union.

PROGRESS in Louisiana.

The new constitution of Louisiana
allows the police juries ito set aside
at least one 1nill per annum of the
taxes levied by them, and to impose
a per capita tax of not more than one
dollar per annum upon each able
bodied male inhabitant and
to levy an annual license of not less
than IS cents nor more than one dollar
per annum upon each vehicle, includ-
ing bicycles, kept and used for locomo7
ton" for the purpose of construct
ing, maintaining and repairing the
public roads and bridges of their par
ishes."

The Average of Butter.

Prof. Wing, speaking recently to
the New York state dairy meeting of a
visit he had paid to Europe, said: ''Our
butter in some cases is as good as any
IN Denmark, but does not average as
good. There are some careless dairy
men there as elsewhere, but there is
not so much variation. There is moth
ing done there that we do not do.
There is no milk secret. Their cows,
feedJand milk are ordinary. Scrupu-
,ous care, cleanliness and the use of
artificial ferments, which is almost
universal, are the causes of superior
ity."-Farmer's Review.

Grading Up the Flocks.

When an attempt is made to grade
the flock up to higher standard such
work should be done by judicious Sc
lection of pure-bred males and fe-
males, but farmers prefer to procure
males and cross on their hens. If
farmers will use the best males, how
ever. crossing would not be objection
able, but they will exchange males
with some neighbor, or accept as pure
bred fowls some that are but grades,
which can effect no improvement.
The best to be had is mot too good
when the stock is to be improved

ti0nal Institution. =

t The experiment in rural free mail
delivery. made from 140 post offices
throughout the country. is to be con-
kinned, owing TO the increase by con-
gress of the appropriation available
for this purpose. Hrural free mail de-
livery becomes an established insti-
tuition it will remove. one more of the
drawbacks to rural life in the United
States. Perhaps the time is not far
distant when the Anne rican woman's
dislike of county life will be succeeded
by an appreciation of it as hearty as
that felt by her English cousin
Rural free mail delivery ought to be
! as successful in the United States as it
is in. England, If for no other reason
than that the country in, the older Sec
t1ons of the United. States is more
thickly populated than it isin England.
One of the greatest obstacles to rural
( free mail delivery in this country has
been the absence of good roads. Some
of the experimental routes now under
/ trial are in the vicinity of Moorestown
I, n. j., from which place radiate many
! miles of improved roads, built under
the state road law. In that vicinity
mail is now being distributed at the
farmers homes by carriers upon BIZ
cycles, SO that the roads, which make
the use of a bicycle, equipped with
mud guards and gear case. possible in
all kinds of weather. except when the
ground is covered with snow have con-
ferred upon the inhabitants the addi-
tional benefits of a free mail delivery.
The past reports of the stcne road
commissioner Of New Jersey have con-
tanned communications showing a
much greater activityin the real estate
market in the neighborhood of i'm
proved roads. Every additional con-
venience added 10 rural life must make
that life seem more desirable to the
American women who are chiefly re-
sponsible for the focking of the Amer.
lean people to villages and towns.
Good roads, bicycles, free mail delivery
all tend to counteract rapidly that
dislike of an isolated life which has
been handed down from mother to
daughter from the time that America
was wilderness inhabited by wild an
imals and savage men. The conven-
fences spoken of help to make rural
life not only possible, but enjoyable
and they afford opportunity for de-
velopment of that interest in country
affairs which must be the basis of per-
feet content with a rural life.-Phila.

mostly used for storing seed and grain
in sacks, such as fiaxseed, clover, tim
othy, etc. They are packed under til
slant of the bins, out of the way. The
middle space is used for cleaning grain,
and a good tanning mill is always in
readiness, and good platform scales
upon which everything is weighed.
The carpenter says this style of bin
is easier on the building, as most of the
pressure is on the inside, drawing the
frame together instead of pressing it
out. The weight Is carried direct to the
sills, resting on good stone foundation.
