Sleepy Tom, 38 years old, and be-
Heved to be the oldest racehorse
in America, is still full of the fire
OF colthood and is capable of linn
bering up his creaking joints for a
speedy furlong or two. Tom is the
property of Peter Beetles, of Puya'-
lup, and made his debut on the
turf as early as 1872. Tom is a
PAGER, and Mr.. Beetles declares the
old fellow can work out a mile at
a three-minute clip without anv

made some time during the pres
ent racing season to have Sleepy
Tom at the Meadows to show the

Railway is. building a number Of
new extensions from it's main line
northward notably that of the Sarles
extension of the Edmore line. The
Thorne extension running north
from York, the Max Bass extension
running northwestward from
Towner, and a further extension Of
the Westhope line to Antler.
The building of these new lines
has brought into being a number o.
new towns which are fully described
in pamphlet recently issued by
the Great Northern Railway. By
application to Mr.. F. L Whitney

cost OF a dragged road is from 81 to

cost OF a dragged road is from ST to
$3 a mile.
A dragged road will stand more
heavy hauling than an undragged
road, but not so much as a macada-
mlzed Or well-kept gravel road.
A sand road is very different
proposition from the black soil, clay
or gumbo, An entirely different
method must be adopted. Three
things may be done to sand road
to make it better: First, keep it
wet; second, haul clay on to it;
third, sprinkle it with crude oil, as
they do in California and in some
parts Of southern Kansas and Texas.
The drag will be beneficial in keep
ing the sand road perfectly fiat so
that it will absorb moisture and re-
tain it a long time.
The drag should consist of two
logs and not of one, and it should
not be used too fast.

Rural Free Delivery.

lne rural tree delivery OF mail
inaugurated with doubt as to it's
practicability and even it's desira-
bllity, has become so popular that
its extention to every rural district
throughout the length and breadth
OF the Union depends only upon the
limitations of the Postofice Depart
ment. 1t will be hard to estimate,
IN the agricultural advancement OF
the future, the part performed by
this agency. It's influence is al
ready felt and will grow with it's
extension. AS an educational in
stitution it's influence can not be
measured; it is a convenience and
time saver greatly appreciated by
the rural citizens, and this bring
ing of the town and country closer
together breaks down barriers and
encourages closer association much
to the advantage of all concerned.
Many communities are deprived of
the blessings of free delivery
through lack of initiative. Some
one must make the start. Consult
your postmaster and under his di-
rection prepare your petition to be
forwarded to the department at
Washington and thus get in line.
Some farmers have the idea that a
special tax is assessed against those
who take their mail by rural car
rier, but that is not the fact. The
cost of the service is paid by the
Postoffice Department and any de-
ficit that may originate on account
of rural delivery has to be made up
by congressional appropriations, to
which all the people of the United
States contribute whether making
use of the service or not. The only
extra expense farmers would have
is furnishing mall DOX, ana tnat is
a small trif1e.
Now that beginning has been
made for securing rural mail deliv-
cry at Warren, a petition having
been forwarded to Congressman
Steenerson to establish route
northwest from the city, efforts
ought to be made to have other
routes established, for instance,
one southwest, one southeast and
another northeast from here. At
present the department. is very
willing to establish new routes, but
the time may come when it will be
very difficult to secure the service.

PROFESSIONAL TASTERS.
Men Of Cultivated Tongues and Pal
ates Who Pass Upon Drinks
g.: and Dishes.

The tea faster and his profes.
sion have long been familiar to
the American public, but only in
the commercial world are certain
other casters" known. One man
who leads most daring existence
is the poison faster. Naturally,
he does not swallow the least por.
ton of it, but puts tiny morsel
on his tongue and spits it out
again Immediately. However, in
that brief space Of time he has
gauged the strength and quality
of the drug under discussion.
Chemists and mine owners are his
principal clients, and his special
ty is refined cyanide of potassium,
used for extracting gold from
crushed quartz, which is partic-
ularly liable to adulteration.
An English cafe of more than
passing fame has on it's staff a pro.
fessional turtle soup faster, who
proves that the chef and steward
are supplying the hotel with the
purest grade of turtle soup. He
also tastes for wholesale impor-
ters of turtles, for when turtle
is not imported alive, but is killed
in the West Indies, the flesh is
dried in the sun in long, leathery-
looking strips. Exporters some.
times mix with the genuine strips
pieces ofdried sharks fms and 9th.
er adulteratiOns not distinguish.
BILE to the eye alone or even to the
palate. The faster nibbles little
bits of the selected sample from a
suspected consignment and de.
livers his verdict from the flavor.
In France the snail tasters are
employed to detect whether a
batch of snails>has been fed hem
lock or other deadly plants. If he
detects particularly acrid flavor
that distinguishes poison-fed
snail the entire lot from which i
comes is dumped into a vat half
filled with bran, and left there for
a month. By theend Of that time
the snails have beaome purified
and they are then fattened up
again on ordinary vegetable diet
and are salable.

IRELAND's WASTE LANDS.
Cost of Reclalmine Then

Cost of Reclaiming Them. John Redmond in Tom Watson's Mag
 azine.
 It Is estimated that there are 1,5Oo,- 900 acres of waste lands in Ireland which are capable of reclamation for agriculture, and 1t Is estimated that the cost of reclamation would be pounds los. per acre, or 9,75o,000 pounds in all. Reclamation of waste land in other Flu ropean countries. which are, however, elfgoverned, has been carried out on far greater scales at a far greater cost. The Dutch Government drained Lake Haarlem, transforming 1t into 45,000 acres of meadow at a cost of 19 pounds an acre. and they pumped out about half million acres of the Zudyer Zee at a cost of IS pounds an acre, and understand the work was so reproduct- i've that they sold the land at 34 pounds an acre. Does anyone suppose that National Government in Ireland would be less ready than the Dutch Govern ment to undertake the far less heroic schemes of reclamation which would so greatly develop this country? The cap ital necessary for this work could cas- fly be suplied out of the amount of our present over-taxation.
 Mir. HowitZ. the eminent Dutch for est conservator. made a special report on Ireland, and declared that had the forests of Ireland been protected and fostered they would now represent value of l00.000.000 pounds In every other European country forests are re- garded as a great national asset. In Ireland they have been 'uthlessly de- stroyed. It has been estimated, on the basis of calculation by Mir HowItz and various experts. that there are 3.tec.OO acres of land in Ireland .yhI.h could profitably be planted and it IS calcu- lated that though such m operation would need an annual expenditure Of large sum for twenty-rve years, at the end of that time there would result an annual profit pf about 3,OnC coo pounds year This operation also would be easy had Ireland at her dis posal for works of national utility the millions which are now vrung rom her every year, and txpA1Icd without thought of the well-bainx of tAe ra- tion have said nothing at all about anything In the nature of restitution of the millions, the hundreds of mil lions, robbed from us during the last hundred years, especially since IS5S in shameless violation of what EnSiish- men call the Treaty of the Union.

INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS IN JAPAN.

ShipbuiIding ia OnIy Keeping Pace With
 the National Advance.
 Charles Albertson, in the Engineering
 Magazine.
 The Japanese are Quartered on a long. narrow, very mountainous group of islands, having an area third larger than the British Isles and about equal to that of California, of which only IF per cent. is capable of cultiva- tion. The dense population of from 45.- 000, 900 to 50,000, GOO, all dependent up- on the products of the field and the nearby waters, carry on their outdoor work by many an ancient method. Their struggle for existence has not been an easy one. Yet with all this they are contented and happy, for the struggle has not been characterized by the waste and intense strain under which we la bor. Tn this respect they are wiser in their day and generation than we are.
 When considering Japan's progress 1t Is well to remember that there are at least two viewpoints. One Is the Jap anese; and if we judge by their mo- tons, the advancement during the time occupied by the last half of Marquis Ito's public life alone is little less than marvellous. This Is the point of view persistently put forward by them and oftenest seen in newspapers. On the other hand, fro the outlook of for eigner who has lived in Japan and knows the average as well as the ex- ceptional conditions, they still have a long way to go in their industries and civilization to attain tfc eminence they are popularly given credit for having already reached.
 Japan progresses. Her shipbuilding progresses, also. So. do her other in- dustries. Were it possible, a nasty glance along & few other lines of Jap anese industry would be of interest as showing in general way the past ana existing conditions and the present state of progress. This comparison of industrial works should give the rela- tive progress and position of shipbuild ing as compared with the improvement and present standing of other industrial enterprises It would also emphatical- ly evidence the fact that Japan's indus trial growth has not been in shipbuild- ing alone, but that her progress has been along all lines and, therefore, that shipbuiiding has only been keeping pace with the national progress.
 We may only state that in coal, cop per, gold and other mining she Is us- ing up- -to-date appliances with good results. In the matter of electric street railways her urban and interurban sys- tems are we'll equipped and well pay ing. Her steam railroads have been extended and improved and the rolling stock and shops are in good condition. The postal system is a credit to the nation. The telegraphs and telephones are efficiently conducted at rates half or less of what we must pay in this free country. Cotton spinning and weaving mills are successfully run. Electric light and power plants, oper- ated some by steam and some by water, are starting up in all advantageous places. Gas plants are being built and the large cities are already supplied with excellent water works. And so on through the whole line of enterprises there Is progres and success.
