Just as long as the people are eager
for the bargain counter, with its cheap
mutations they will be forced to ac
cept shoddy, inferior goods for their
money.
Our humanitarian impulses should
more often find expression in putting
out Of the way at once and in as pain.
less a manner as possible crippled
helpless or incurably sick animals IN
our keeping.
The New York university summer
school has this year provided a specfa
course designed to fit teachers for the
giving Of instruction In chi1dren's gar

L
| One Iowa county reports 40 farmers
living within it's borders using the
King road drag. This was undoubtedly
a locality in which there was great need
Of highway repentance and where the
good roads gospel was earnestly
preached and cordially received.
Hardly day passes when some dis
tressing accident Is not recorded as the
result Of the careless use or misuse Of
medicines. Much grief would be pre-
vented If the medicines were properly
labeled, whether harmful or not, and
placed above the reach Of children. 1T
Is hard to prevent or curb child's in
quisitive nature.
That is very practical and sensible
move which has in view the addition
Of courses In the rudiments of agri-
tural instruction to our public schools
curricula. The course mentioned,
coupled with a reasonable amount of
experimental work, would seem to give
promise of being not only practical and
useful, but highly interesting and en-
tertaining as well.
The progress which has been made
In the packing plants Of the country
merely along the line of sanitation
and cleanliness would seem to indicate
that the need of radical reform was
necessary. These improvements, cou-
pied with more rigid inspection Of
animals before and after Strengthening,
practically remedy the evil which has
been complained Of.
Every dairyman who is in the bust
ness primarily for the money to be
made rather than the improvement OF
his health will adopt some careful
method Of testing the individual milk
and butter yield of different cows in
his herd. It is too often true that the
really profitable cows in the herd are
paying the board bill Of one or more
spongers and loafers
Each year there is a scarcity Of help
on the large farms in the northwest
and as a result thesday are long and
the prices paid are high. It would be
fine thing If the incoming tide Of
immigrants could be landed In the
middle Of the United States, where they
would do some good, instead of being
left on the coast to block up the al
ready overcroWded cities.
When one has cool and dry place
for storing potatoes we believe it is
better to dig them when they are fully
ripe than to allow them to lie in the
ground until late October, as Is GUS
tomary In good many localities. And
this is particularly true If the early
fall is wet, as the tendency to rot is
greater If they are left In the ground
than when they are properly stored.
An Iowa woman has made her village
famous by advertising a certain day
each summer as chicken day This
year 1t was July IA, at which time
she exhibited to the many spectators
who assembled over 1000 chicks newly
Matched In incubators Of her own In
vention. She has remarkable success
In poultry raising, and people come
from fifty miles around to witness
her annual hatch.
Many long contested disputes would
be averted by having the boundary
lines on the farm firmly established
and maintained While 1t may cost
something at first, one has the surety
of knowing where his land begins and
the other fellows leaves of IF you
can't afford to be generous don't plant:
your blackberries next the fence, as
they're just sure to be too neighborly
and possibly make lifelong enemies
For many years our chief supply of
turpentine has come from North Caro-
lima, but the drain has been SO ex-8
haustive that the pine trees have all
been killed. The present source Of
turpentine Is from the farms farther
