Physicians and dentists in a thriy-

lesson that even dignified and useful
professions canrot h5urish d without
some sort Of advertising. There is.
as everybody knows. a hoary rule Of

long tima honpred ia the breach.
The physicians and their brother.

newspaper. About two years ago an
"ethical" revival took place in that
town. SmitteR with a sense uf
grieyOus misconduct. the doctors
stopped advertising. The local news
paper then quit calling them DIR. +"
on the perfectly sensible theory that
the professional title is itself an ad-
vertisement. If all advertising is
against their code. free ads are as
bad a. paid ones. The newspaper.
however. treated the doctors with
fairness and courtesy. Beyond the
suppression Of the title there was no
change in the papers attitude to-
ward them after they ceased to ad-
vertise. In time the townfolk
dropped the Or" in their everyday
talk and substituted Mr." Recently
the medical men have. ike sensible
men. seen reason TO change their
views They have discovered that a
suitable card in the newspapers is no
more uniignifed than an Office sign.
The cards are hack in the papers and
the doctors have ceased to be mere

REFOREsTING THE WASTE PLACES

REFORESTING THE WASTE PLACES.
There are millions of acres of land in
nearly every state which could be
more profitably devoted to the growing
of timber than any other thing. We
have been busy for hundred years
despoiling the primeval forests, and
they are practically gone, the people In
even the most heavily timbered Sec
tons Of the country being forced to
burn coal as fuel. All land, no mat
ter where located, which is too steep
and billy for cultivation should be put
to growing trees. We do not begin to
realize the benefits and profit which
would accrue throughout the country at
large IL all such rough land were devOt-
ed to the growing Of the conifers-the
pines, spruces and cedars. Such plant
ing Of waste acres would have more
than a mere money value. 1t would
greatly beautify the landscapes; 1t
would temper the force of the winds,
and in a general way do very much to
conserve the rainfall and prevent the
disastrous floods which are becoming
so common in the cleared and billy sec
tiOns of the country. Now that the
government has got the irrigation prob
lem practically solved and well under
way, we would like to see 1t do some
thing as effective with reference to pro-
noting the reforesting Of the waste
land of the country.

THE DISTRICT SCHOOL.

Some of the brightest and most sue
cessful men whom we know obtained
their early education at the district
schools in the country. 1t has always
been mystery how it was that these
schools, often poorly taught and al
ways short on facilities and apparatus
and often SHINY attended. somehow
seemed to lay better educational founda-
tons than many of the more modern.
more largely attended and better
taught city schools. We are inclined
to think that the boy in attending the
country school was at the same time
getting very valuable education along
the line Of hard work, self denial, train
ing his powers of observation and learn
ing to reason from cause to effect
There is much of benefit in an outdoor
education, far more than we usually
think. This sort Of training is. practi-
cally denied the city boy, who, finding
everything ready made to his hands,
does not develop that self reliance. that
inventive genius and that independent
habit of thinking which come as. COM
pensations to the country boy for
what we call lack of opportunity. The
fact seems to be that the country boy,
given later on the advantages of the
modern city school, is almost invaria-
bly, able to hold his own and very often
frequently surpasses his city taught
cOmrade.

A HOG MENAGERIE.

We noted in pasture the other day
regular hog menagerie, about hun
dred pigs which had been crossed and
recrossed until they were sight to
behold. There were black hogs, white
hogs and red hogs, white hogs with
black. spots, black hogs with white
spots, red hogs with black spots and
black hogs with red spots which made
them look more like lot of guinea
pigs than anything else. Some men go
crazy upon this crossing business and
absolutely neutralize all the benefits to
proved breeds of stock by their stupid
ity and lack of intelligence in mixing
breeds up. This thing always results
in one way, and that is in the degen-
GRAFTON of all breeds used and the Gre
alton of lot of pedigreed scrubs. The
best way is to take one breed and stick
to it always, seeking to improve it by
the selection of the most perfect and
best bred breeding stock. One will see
this same thing in lots of poultry yards,
where LeghOrn, Langshan, White Brah-
ma and Plymouth Rock have con-
Quoted cooperative society in the
production of the most ordinary and
Improbable kind of scrub fowl. 1t
does not matter much what breed of
animals or birds you may select If you
only keep them pure and strive to i'm
prove them.

Many Bills Are In.

In two weeks fully $50 bills for new
laws for the state have been intro
duced in the legislature. A number
of these bills are important, but most
Of them are of a reformatory nature,
relating to some discrepancy in the
code or slight changes to be made in
certain sections. Active work In the
passage Of bills will commence this
week and then the fruits of legisla-
ton can be seen. II is predicted the

not closing until late In April and
that the measures adopted will ex-
coed In number those OF any previous
