similar system may be developed on
any dairy farm that disposes of pas,
lures. Where land is cheaper and the
dairyman can afford pastures, the sys.
tenn would be radically different in
summer but not in winter. Probably
the most important single feature of
this Pennsylvania farm aside from the
systematic manner in which 1t is con-
Quoted is the one of handling the ma
nure. The fact that the stock is
stabbed the year round makes it pos
sible to save all the manure both
liquid and solid and apply 1t to the
land. Being applied daily as pro-
duced, any teaching by rains, carries
the leached materials into the soil
where it is needed. The remarkable
yields of every portion Of this farm
seem to indicate that this method of
manure is highly satisfac-
tory.

A BIG EDITORIAL OFFICE.
The Department of Agriculture Pub
fishes Over Four Booklets for
Every Day i'm 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.
463 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 a 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-
try, of being written in about as dry
and uninteresting 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 a
practical and simple style, with the
result that the Publications. of the
Department nave 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 $50 have been published, are
by all odds the most popular of the
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.

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 majesty's appearance nat
urally created a good deal of flutter,
especially among the demoiseles 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 a 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 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
gliby at tn tip of their tongues, when
his majesty smilingly replied: 81 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 ac-
customed to that sort of work, and in
his dilemma he exclaimed: well
was never so puzzled in my lifep
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 |

A NcN-P4TENTABLE MEDICINE.
Universally Used by the Medical 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 great variety
Of remedies, yet, as stated by q 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 bread pill, /"
which, after all, is not bread, but only
so-called on account of its 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
lions prescribed by the doctor.

tematic is the work that the owner
may leave for a week without notice

to the regular routine. The feeding
of the cows, the handling Of the milk,
keeping the barn clean and disposing

such a system that they require little
supervision on the part of the proprie-

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

is not good practice, for it has been
supposed that milch cows need a Ger
