OLD IN THE SERVICE.
How the Civil Service Rules work-- "T0 Regulate and Improve the Civil Service of the United
 States.o

Washing Star.
 "A little more than four months af- ter the accession of Thomas Jefferson to the Presidency he wrote to Elias shipman and other citizens of New Ha- ven, Conn, as follows: If a due par ticipation of ofice is matter of right. how are vacancies Gin the civil servicel to be obtained2 Those by death are few; by resignation, none,' said an old Washingtonian to a Star reporter.
 Jefferson came to the Presidency as the successor of two Federaiists whose party friends were snugly ensconced in office, and his supporters were hungry for the emoluments of public station. The extract from his letter. as quoted sounds almost like cry of despair.
 Twenty eight years later President Jackson made many changes in the personnel of the civil service and from Senator William l.. Marcy, who was af- terward Secretary of State in the cab met of President Franklin Pierce, in speech delivered fin the Senate in 1882, came these words: 'They see nothing wrong in the rule that to the victors belong the spells of the enemy
 From these incidents have come two aphorisms familiar as a twice-told tale, one peculiarly applicable to the condi- lions that existed in Washington prior to the passage of the act of January. i6, 1888, TO regulate and improve the civil service of the United States and the other suggestive of the permanence and stability enjoyed under the benefi- cient provisions of an act that Is more honestly and strictly enforced under President Roosevelt than 1t was by any of his predecessors.

DR.. Freeman's s Talks.

Messrs Editors The farmer who is now actively
engaged in farming, if he learns much more about
his business farmer he must learn by obser-
vatlon. He must learn not only from his own
experience but he must see what others do
ing. This seeing and the. how, to other farmers
actions, should engage the attention of every
farmer. When you read about or hear about what
Mr.. A has done, you generally say: don't be-
ieve it," And the reason you don't believe it is
because you haven't been able to do so by your
manner or way of doing things
The thing for you to do my friend, is to go and
see for yourself if these things so, and it so
find out how it was DONE Compare Mr.. AS way OF
doing things with your way, and you will more
than likely find your way poor one. Have more
confidence in your neighbor, and go and see what
he is doing and ask how he does things Those OF
you who attended the farmers meeting at the A.
& NJ College last year know how much better 1t
is to learn by observation than by any other way:
I took the ground ia that meeting that It would
be better to have small experimental stations at
each county seat, than to have only one IN the
State and farmers Institutes in different parts OF
the State each year. AS L have SAID, our farmers
will learn by observation, but not from lectures.
Now if our agricultural department could estab-
ish small stations at each county seat In the
State our farmers could at these stations IN
practical use what has been developed at the a.
& M College. By this arrangement all our farm
ers would oct the benefits of the operations OF the
State COLLEGE at once and the agricultural inter
est of the State would be wonderfully benefited at
once hope to see the State establish these prac-
tical small stations in reach Of every farmer IN
the near future but at present we must use the
present arrangements and get the most out OF
them possible. Let every farmer begin now to ar
range to go to the A. & M. College for few days
this summer One day spent there Will DO you
more good than whole year on your farm at
home. Go, see, and learn the how and then tell Tell
it to every one YOU see for year, and you will
help to fill the barnes and smoke houses OF your
neighbors, which means prosperity and happy
