Gridley, a clerk in the land office at
Washington. A short time ago she

his life in the fight between the Mont

that brave captain of the Olympic who
figured in the battle of Manila. For
forty years Mrs. Gridley has worked
faithfully at her desk, never missing a
day from her duties. She is always an
honored guest in Admiral Dewey's
home on Manila day, May 1, and for
two years she has been escorted to the
banquet by the admiral himself. Mrs.
Gridley scorns the idea of old-age pen.

more than any of her previous trou.

Draining Large Areas.

The draining Of large areas of land
calls for expert advice and superin-
tendence. The man that owns small
piece of land and has an outlet for
his surplus water will find little trou.
BILE perhaps in getting drainage sys.
tenn to work; but it is far otherwise
with large area, whether that area
consist of level plain or of hills. It
is very easy to construct drainage
system that will not work well on the
hills and that will not work at all on
the level land. Expert advice and su-
perintendence cost money, but they
are worth money. A drainage sys-
tenn should be built to last; but IL it
is built unscientifically it may have to
be partly torn out before 1t has been
in the ground many years.

BraziI's Blue Butterflies.

The exceedingly high prices often
asked and paid for butterflies are rem
dered possible by the extreme uncer-
tainty of the market. There is no
means of knowing how long butter
fly will remain rarity. 1t may con-
tinue unique for quarter of century
or 1t may become common in the
course of few months. A case in
point is that of beautiful blue butter
ny from Brazil. When the first speci-
mems of this butterfly were sent to
England some years ago they readily
sold for $50 or more apiece. Since
then, however, collectors have sent it
home in numbers, and the price has
fallen to paltry 60 cents.

UTILIZING the Straw stacks.

s Ottitxtn0 the Straw Stacks.
The farm Nupon which now live is
one devoted to the growing of grain
very largely, though 1t is not without
some live stock. Before came upon
It the straw had been allowed to
weather in the fields. and 1t was not
unusual to see the remains Of stacks
mat mad occupied certain spots for
years, A few Of these spots were in
the fields, and the former owner
worked around them each season. l
asked him why he didn't haul the
straw to the barnyard and have it
worked up into manure. He replied
tnat the labor Of doing that was of
more account than the extra manure
ne would get out Of It. That may be
the correct way of looking at it, but
II Is not the method that have prac.
tlced since came on the farm. I
nauled all the stuff to the barnyard
and carpeted the whole yard with it
10 depth of q foot or more when it
was tramped hard. The stock trampled
It all the fall last year and as soon as
the moisture began to appear in it I
hauled in more. There was some sat.
tsfaction in always having a fairly
clean barnyard.
1t was surprising how much straw I
worked up this way. It seemed to 20
to pieces very rapidly as soon as it
was covered so that it could not dry
out. Last spring had fine lot of
manure to use on the kitchen garden.
and In other places that needed it on
the farm. I am following the same
practice this year. as the old straw
stacks are not yet all gone. BY next
spring there will be no more obstacles
OF this kind in the hay meadow. One
man said to me that he knew. a quick.
er way to get rid of the stacks than
that. asked him what it was and he
replied. Burn them" That is what
IS the matter with the soil in some sec.
ions OF the country that have been
largely devoted to grain raising-the
straw has been burned from year to
year. do not believe that it pays to
feed very much straw to stock, as
there is a very large proportion of in.
d1gestible fiber in the straw. It pays
better to get rid of the straw by com.

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST

When the maker of a medicine, sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as we'll as on its bottle wrappers,
fnl! list Of all its ingredients IN plain
English, this action on his part IS the

run so harmful to Woman's delicate, nerv-

Rural Economics.

The United States government has
peen for long time issuing a monthly
summary of the work of all the expert.
mept stations at home and abroad.
10 this publication has now been added
a department called Rural Econom.
ics. The fact is indicative of the drift
OF the times. Everything is being re.
duced to order, even the studies of
the economic conditions of the farm.
we nave upon our hands, whether we
wish it or not, the problem of eco.
nom1c conditions, whether relating to
the marketing of crops or the building
OF highways over which the crops are
to be hauled. These manifestly do
not come within the domain of agricul.
ture. which may fairly we'll comprise
the tillage Of the ground and the care
OF the crops springing from it, includ-
Ing farm animals.
we long ago began the study of the
tillage of the fields; we must now take
up with equal earnestness the study Of
economic conditions. The farmer
gains little in the raising of a big crop
II he SO misunderstands the economic
conditions under which he lives as to
sell that crop for far less than its
market value. Farmers have been
known to do this. Having formed
misconception of the size of a crop
and the demand for it, they have sold
their crop at q great discount in order
to get it of their hands, being un.
aware that at that moment all the
great trade centers were paying high
prices for the very crop that had been
disposed of by the growers at sacri.
Zee.
The well-edited and reliable farm
paper is one Of the greatest helps for
the understanding of farm economics;
for by It alone can the farmer keep in
touch with the every-varying condi-
tons in the agricultural world.
