A BIG EDITORIAL OFFICE.
The Department of Agriculture Pub
fishes Over Four Booklets for
Every Day in the Year.

One Of the biggest editorial Offices
in the Government and probably in
the country is in the Department OF
Agriculture where the Division OF
Publications edits, revises, and in
some cases returns to the authors
for rewriting an average of four bull
letins or books for every day in the
year. During the last fiscal year l..
1853 new publications passed through
the editors hands, nearly 400 of
these, however, being issued by the
Weather Bureau, which is under the
Department of Agriculture. The to-
tai number of copies of the remain
ing 1000 odd publications printed dur
ing the year was 12,000,475. Many
of these are generously illustrated,
and beside the great number of orig
inal photographs used, the artists Of
the Department make something over
1000 drawings year for illustrating.
The head of this Division, or the
Editor" of the Department as he is
known, is Mr.. George William Hill,
an old-time editor of an agricultural
paper, but he has held his present
position for many administrations.
There have been very many rad
ical changes" said Mr.. Hill, Gin the
publications of the Department with
in the last ten years. At one time,
the Agricultural Reports and other
pamphlets and bulletins issued were
more or less technical, having the rep
utation generally throughout the coun-
,f in oh Irxy
and uninteresting a manner as pos
sible. The present Secretary has con-
tinually impressed upon his Chiefs of
Divisions the desirability of short, crisp
articles and bulletins, especially in
the annual Year Books, written in
practical and simple style, with the
result that the Publications of the
Department have come into very gen.
eral favor with the farmers and are
eagerly sought after. which is evil
dent by the enormous number of re-
quests for them"
The Farmers Bulletins, descriptive
of all sorts of farm work, stock-rais-
ing, fruit-growing, etc., and Of which
nearly ESQ have been published, are
by all odds the most popular of the
Departments of Publications. They
are brief, written in simple style and
discuss subjects near to the heart of
the agriculturist. Many of them have
been condensed and rewritten from
the longer and more technical bulle-
tins, setting forth the results Of ex-
haustive experiments. More than g.
100000 copies of these popular bulle-

4 NON.PATENTABLE MEDICINE.
Universally Used by the \ edlcal Pro-
feSSion,

What is the most important remedy
known to the medical profession?, A
guessing contest might be established
upon this question which would doubt
less bring to the fore a great variety
Of remedies, yet, as stated by a very
successful practitioner, there is one
medicine given to patients which ply
sicians find more important than any
other. Strange to say, this is the quite
universal and ineffective dread pill, -
which, after all, is not bread, but only
so-called on account of it's harmless
nature. The bread pill is sometimes
nothing more than plain sugar pei
let, at others, where a liquid prescrip-
ton is given. weak solution Of sugar
and water. or a mixture Of powdered
licorice or gentian, both harmless
drugs when given in the weak proper
tions prescribed by the doctor.
OF course the principle use Of the
dread pill'' is in the case of a pa
tient, who, imagining himself i'll,
calls in his family physician, and the

KING ALFONSO'S SHOPPING.
a Paris Millinery Shop Startled by
Visit From the Spanish King.

An amusing anecdote is related in
connection with King Alfonso's recent
visit to Paris. In his leisure moments
he was fond Of taking turn in the Rue
de la Paix, which is noted for its ele-
giant shops, and making few pur-
chases. His majestys appearance nat
urally created good deal of futter,
especially among the demoiselles de
magasin, who rushed to doors and win
dows to see him go by, so when three
gentlemen stepped into certain estab-
lishment one morning and the most
youthful of the party asked to see some
hats they were politely requested, as
the most natural thing in the world, to
wait moment, as the king was in the
street, and the girls were all watching
for him. The knowing smiles which
thereupon pervaded the features of the
little party had the effect of promptly
putting the quick-witted shop girls on
the scent. After announcing the great
news excitedly to the proprietor of the
establishment they clustered in ring
round King Alfonso and his compan-
ions.
This was a thousand times better
than a peep into the street, and then.
what an honor! Only to think of the
Spanish sovereign walking 80 in such
simple fashion into their shop. And
what followed delighted them even
more. The mistress Of the place had
advanced, and, courtesying low, had ut
tered one of those pretty compliments
which our French friends have so
glibly at tn tip of their tongues, when
his majesty smilingly replied: II wish
to see some hats. I want three; one
for my mother, in rather a quiet style;
one for my sister, and one for my aunt,
and please put them all up together in
the same box" The masterpieces of
the shop were presented and inspected. |
The selection of the three hats took
some time, as the young king is not &C
customed to that sort of work, and in
his dilemma he exclaimed: "Well, II
was never so puzzled in my lifew
Finally the choice was made, and with
the request that the hats should be |
sent at once to the hotel, King Alfonso
took his departure, leaving the mistress
of the establishment. and her young |
women charmed with their experience.

There is a farm in southeastern
Pennsylvania which the Department
Of Agriculture considers a model TWEEN
tieth century farm. 1t consists of fif'
teen acres, thirteen Of which are in
cultivation, the remaining two acres
being occupied by buildings, yard, etc.
This land came into the possession of
the present owner-a minister Of the
Gospel-in 1881 with mortgage OF
$1,000 upon it.
Improving the Soil.
The soil Of the farm is reddish
somewhat gravelly clay. So run down
was it in 1881 that 1t did not support
the two cows and one horse kept upon
1t. Last year 1t raised all the rough
age for thirty head Of stock, seventeen
of which are COWS in milk. 1t has
been brought up to its present remark
able state Of fertility solely by the use
Of stable manure applied directly from
the barn. The system Of handling this
manure is such that none is lost, either
liquid or solid. No commercial fertil-
izers have ever been used and no ma
nure has been hauled from the city.
This is a practice greatly differing
from that in vogue on the majority Of

In this event he does not wish to dis
play his ignorance or what in reality
may be but an apparent lack of knowl-
edge, since at some stages it is i'm
possible to accurately diagnose a case;
but a frank admission Of this kind
would destroy the patients confidence
in his physician. And SO at this juno

tematic Is the work that the owner
may leave for week without notice
to the laborers, with no interruption
to the regular routine. The feeding
of the cows, the handling Of the milk
keeping the barn clean and disposing
the manure, are ali worked out under
such system that they require little
supervision on the part Of the proprie.
tor. There is no pasture on this farm
for pastures on such high-priced land
are out Of the question. There is not
even a barn lot, the thirty head Of
cattle remaining in the stalls the year
round. We have been taught that this
is not good practice, for it has been
supposed that milch cows need Ger
tain amount of exercise, yet it must
be considered that the Danish cows
stand in their stalls from November
to May and are staked out in the field
from May to November, and yet Den.

FREE SEEDS.

The reinsertion of the free seed graft
in the agricultural appropriation bill is
in the house. Probably one-half of the
members who receive free seeds have
no earthly use for them, but they voted
for the graft after having been shown
that some members did have use for the
seeds and having been instructed that
they might exchange their seed quota
with some other member for different
kind Of graft. The city member, for
example, could use more copies of the
Congressional Record or more copies of
other publications, while his constitu-
ents living in flats have little or no use
for free seeds. So the exchang., is
agreed upon and the graft goes n,errily
forward. 1t is a good deal like the
pairing graft. This is scheme where
by a member may appear to .e per-
forming his legislative duties, viii g. as
matter of fact, he is absent on some
private business

not be harmful If it were confined to
