THE MOURNING DOVE.

In discussing the mourning dove in
its varied relations to agriculture, and
its Importance as a weed destroyer.
VIM. butcher, chairman protection
committee American Ornithologists'
union, says: Is there farmer in the
country who, after hard days work
with hoe or cultivator, has not wished
that some other means could be de-
vised to prevent the rapid growth of
noxious weeds, and at the same time
emancipate him from the sweating
brow, the blistered hands and the
aching back?
There is one means of weed de-
stroying that has been entirely over
looked by the agriculturists, prob
ably because they never seriously
considered the food habits of the
dove.
It's favorite food is weed seed. Re-
cent Investigations made by the U. 8.
Dept. of Agriculture on the food of
the dove is as follows: 237 birds were
killed and OF the contents Of their
stomachs 80 per cent was weed seed.
So we say, behold a friend.

COST OF LIVING IN ASIA.
Modern improvements Have imposed
Burden on Natives.

Modern improvements Have imposed
Burden on Natives.
During a recent tour in Asia of near
ly sixteen months, from February.
1901, to June, 1902, in which I visited
Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines,
Cochin China, Siam and Laos, tx
Straits Settlements. Burmah, India.
Syria and Palestine, found every
where a deep interest in the changing
economic conditions. The common
people in Asia care little for politics,
but the price of food and raiment
touches every man, woman and child
at q sensitive point.
Almost everywhere the old days of
cheap living are passing away. Steam
ers, railways, telegrAphs, newspapers,
labor-saving machinery and the intro
duction of Western ideas are slowly
but surely revolutionizing the Orient.
Shantung wheat, which formerly had
no market beyond a radius OF few
dozen miles from the wheat field, can
now be shipped by railway and steam
ship to any part of the world, and in
consequence every Chinese buyer has
to pay more for it. IN like manner
new facilities for export have doubled,
trebled, and in some places quad
rupled the price of rice in China, Slam
and Japan.-Century Magazine.

FARM BOYS TAKE NOTICE.

A leading Chicago paper is author
ity for the statement that Total alb
stinence Is now essential to service
in the operating department of every
railroad centering in Chicago"
The revolution which is being eff
fected in these respects is shown in
the new rule books which many of
the arrangements of the Chicago
roads have just issued. Without a
single exception these books contain
the following. or rules which are SIM
ilarly framed:
The use of intoxicaI by en-
ployes while on duty is prohibited.
Their habitual use, or the frequenting
Of places where they are sold, is suf-
ficient cause for dismissal.
1.-THE use of tobacco by employees
when on duty in and about passenger
stations or on passenger cars Is pro-
hibited."
Many a farm boy is interested in
this as not few, all too many in fact,
are looking forward to possible en-
ployment in the city and most fire.

Kinds Of Grating.
In reply to our CORES 'ondent Will
say in the first place, that there are
two kinds of grating which are gen.
orally practiced by most fruit growers
ard rurserymen at the present time.
One is what we call root grating"
and the other top grating" or some
cal, it stub grating. 1t Is known gen
orally by nurserymen and fruit grow
ers as cleft grating.
In grating the scions Of the old
trees that you mention, will say that
1t will have to be done by what is
called root or whip grating. In this
case the root is called the stock and
the pieces that are grated on to it
Is called the scion. New, you will
have to procure some one-year-Old ap-
pie seedlings from some nurseryman.

lings in the fall and pack them away
In their cellars and graft them cur
ing the winter. In fact, it Is getting
pretty late in the winter now for do
ing root grating. The best time for
doing root grating is during the
months Of January and February. We
have gener ally practiced doing it this
time Of the year. One of the main
requisites is a sharp knife. Next the
4 root must be trimmed Of all the
branches, leaving nothing but the
main tap root If we were only graft
ing a small lot, we would recommend
making a crown graft-that is, insert
ing but one scion to each root There

The greatest problem yet unsolved
is the good roads problem. 1t pre-
sents not a few difficulties. First.
everyone has his own ideas about
how to make road; and second, con.
ditions are much different, even in ad
joining districts, so that it makes 1t
impossible to lay down any fixed sys-
tenn, or code of rules to build roads
by. We believe if more common horse
sense were used, and less theory, our
roads would be better. First, get
perfect surface drainage. You must
get rid of the water. There should be
ditch on both sides of the roads
and they should be so graded that
the center will be two or three feet
higher than the sides.

STOP THE Washes NOW.

Haven't you got one or more OF
those gullies in your fields? If SO
has it ever occurred to you that II
would be doing Christian act to
make the attempt to stop them or it,
which ever may be the case?
We are using old hay and short
posts in the washes that have at
tempted to make gullies in our fields.
We simply throw in a part of load
in place, then at the lower side of
the hay, drive in row of short posts.
This is repeated at the distance of
about every three or four rods along
down the wash. This is an al right
way to get some profit out of the old
hay above what is not wanted for bed
ding. 1t is the best plan we have
ever tried in attempting to stop a
wash in a field.
At first we tried building up rock
dams across the washes every few
rods, but soon gave that up. The
rush of the water during some of the
summer soakers would cut all sorts
of c"oers with the rocks in the dams.
It would tear them out of their place
and scatter them all along the embryo
ditch; others it would bury complete
ly and loud and angry were the solos
sung as we ran into them with cult
vator or plow.
| But in the name of a good farmer,
try to stop ,le washes by some means.
We know Of fields not far from here
that are now completely cut in two
and some in three by bitches so deep
and wide horse couldn't jump them
and this is not hilly country either
Usually such bitches start from dead
furrow made in blowing the field.

One reward of work Is ability to do
more work. We sometimes wonder
why 1t is that busy perSOns are so
frequently called upon to assume the
responsibilities Of high places. The
reason is simply that they have
learned ability in the school OF en-
deavor. BY being busy they have
become competent. The training Of
activity has equipped them for larger
activity. This is one sense in which
labor brings its own reward.

POSITION OF THE ARMIES.
The Lines ere About Seven Miles
Apart and there arc Occasional
SkiTmishes.
(By the Associated Press.)


Fusan, July 25.-Tlre past three
months with both armies has been
the most quiet period of the entire
war There have been no engage
ments at the front the only encoun-
ters being those of accommodating ex-
petitions, sent out by both armies,
similar to that of last Friday with a
small total of losses, and a few trifi-
ing encounters at the posts.
The Russian and Japanese lines are
seven miles apart. The Russians
maintain a screen of cavalry optpoSts
some miles in front of their trenches
to guard against attacks. Reconnoit-
ering forces from both sides traverse
the enutral zone frequently feeling the
strength of tho others at the front and
making a, small weekly. list of killed
wounded and captured.
The fight rportd on Friday was
til first worthy of mention which has
occurred east of the railway. Two
Russian accommodating forces ap-
preached the Japanese line. one about
twenty miles, the other seventy miles
east of the railway. The first contin-
gent consisted of two squadrons of
cavalry the End of two battalions OF
infantry. Both retired after brief en-
counters.
The, Japanese sustained no losses,
but those of the Russians are suppos-
ed to have been nearly 100.
In the first encounter the Russian
calvary, with it's front side thousand
meters long, advanced upon the Jap
anese line until it came under fire,
when it retired in confusion and the
infantry advanced. The Japanese fir
ed forty rounds with a, captured Rus
sian battery when the Russians re-
tired. the Japanese infantry follow
ing them for ter Wiles.
