Elbow sleeves are upon nine-tenths

come below the elbow, ending in a
close fitting band Or little frills, and if
they end above the point of the elbow
deeper frills cover the elbow. The
blouse even at its best is only inform
al or demitoilet, and sleeves for such
wear should cover the elbow point.

prizes will be offered to both boys

on in these different Instances, while
participated in primarily for the pur-
pose Of winning the coveted prize, will
not only result in improving the ap-
pearance Of many lawns and gardens
In the towns wherein they are conduct

ten inches and a piece of the root push

which springs therefrom will spread

There has probably been no single
factor that has had more to do with
the remarkable development of the ag-
ricultural interests Of the country than
an efficient system of transportation.
Some idea Of the magnitude which this
has attained may be had from the
statement that If all the steam rail-
roads In the country were merged into
a single line it would encircle the earth
eight times at the equator.

A New Jersey reader Of these notes
writes making inquiry Of the cost of
the round thing used very generally
throughout the middle west, stating
that he believes If 1t were once in
troduced in the east it would prove far
superior to the prevailing standard
draintile, which Is Of horseshoe type
made in three and four inch sizes and
usually laid on boards; fiat stones, slate
our correspondent hemlock boards are
usually used for this purpose, but these
rot inside Of ten years, while the tile
becomes displaced and has to be dug
up and relaid. He states that while
the round tile has been made In the
east it does not seem to meet with
favor, the people still preferring the
horseshoe type A great many miles
Of tile are being laid all through the
north part Of the state In which the
writer lives, and, while we have not
at hand figures for large orders, the
prevailing price Of four inch tile is
$18 per thousand feet and six inch
tile $50, which would make the first
size cost % and the second sc cents
per rod. Many contracts for thing are
made on the basis Of 70 cents per rod
for the four inch size, which includes
the tile, surveying the grade and dig
ging the ditch for the same to q depth
Of three feet. The purchaser has to
haul the tile on to the ground and fill
the trenches after the tile is laid Con
tracts for laying six inch tile under the
same conditions is is cents per rod
more, or 90 cents. Good tile properly
laid should last a lifetime. While the
initial cost Of the round tile might be
a tride more than that Of the horse
shoe type, which is the standard in the
eastern states, we are led to believe,
using the data which our friend fur
nished as a basis, that in the long run
the former Is much the more econom-
ical and satisfactory. We should be
pleased to hear from any eastern read
er who has had opportunity to test the
efficiency and durability cf the two
types Of tile mentioned under exactly
the same conditions.

The forestry and horticultural de
partments Of some Of the state agri-
cultural schools are this year carrying
out in cooperation with farmers Of diff

has taken up the work about 1000
posts from quick growing trees, half
green and half partly seasoned, have
been sent by the farmers to the expert
ment station for use in the test AS
soon as results can be determined

Those who are looking around for
cheaper land should not get the idea
that they must leave the United States
to find it. Irrigation is becoming more
and more general in the western states,
and the results are astonishing. More
over, these irrigated lands when first
opened up can be purchased at very
reasonable figure, and experience has
proved that they rapidly rise in value.

A friend who is engaged in the bank
ing business said to us recently in the
course of a conversation on life and
affairs, Before | went to college !
was content to raise nice, square cattle
and plant even rows of corn, but since
| left the farm / have never been con-
tented and seem always to desire some
thing can't have The point this man
touched upon is an interesting one. AS
one grows in learning his desires in
crease at an even greater rate, and with
the increase Of his desires comes
greater capacity for unhappiness and
discomfort. While we all desire to be
educated it is a question whether the
point is not reached after awhile when
the increase in education brings cares,
desires and discomfort which outweigh
the good.

In the attempt to accentuate and per
petuate the excellent points Of hogs a
very extensive inbreeding is resorted
to by certain breeders, and this in the
end not only brings out to a marked
degree certain desirable qualities, but
does the same for certain undesirable
ones. Among humans the law draws
the line in many states at the inter-
marriage OF cousins. 1t would be veil
if more care along this line were exer-
cised in the breeding Of animals.

While man is sometimes viewed as
the natural enemy of bird, life, it is
worthy of note that most Of the song
birds prefer to run the gantlet Of
building their homes in close proxim-
ity to his own than in the woods, where
they will be plundered by squirrels
and crows and they themselves be liza
bic to attack from hawks, owls and
other enemies. The robin, catbird,
brown thrush, grosbeak, mourning
dove, oriole and wren belong to the
class mentioned which build close to
mans habitation rather than in the
wildwood.
