Many long contested disputes would
be averted by having the boundary
lines on the farm firmly established
and maintained. While it may cost
something at first, one has the surety
of knowing where his land begins and
the other fellows leaves off. II you
can't afford to be generous don't plant
yonr blackberries next the fence, as
they're just sure to be too neighborly
and possibly make lifelong enemies.

An Iowa woman has made her village
famous by advertising a certain day
each summer as chicken day. This
year it 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.

One of the serious drawbacks con-
nected with planting variety Of apple
trees is found in. the disadvantage en-
countered when one comes, to market
the fruit, as few varieties have the

Just as long as. the people are eager

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 special
course designed to fit teachers for the
giving of instruction in children's gar
dens, the making Of them and how to-
care for them.
One Iowa county reports 149 farmers
living within it's borders using the
King road drag. This was undoubtedly
locality in which there was great need
Of highway repentance and where the
good roads gospel was earnestly
preached and cordially received.
Hardly a 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 IL the medicines We're 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 a 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 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 a radical reform was
necessary. These improvements, cou-
Piled with more rigid inspection OF
animals before and after Strengthening,
practically remedy the evil which has
been complained Of.

1t Is an established fact that cleo,

Successful experiments have been

1t Is estimated that the best part OF
the rice kernel is lost through the re.
fining process to which the rice is sub
jected. Most OF the nutriment and
much of the best flavor come from
the rough portion lying next to this
husk, and this is lost when the grain
is rubbed and polished for American
use. Foreigners, who are accustomed
to eating rice great deal, are very
contemptuous Of the American article
and refuse to touch It.

OBJECTS TO CUBAN REGULATION.
President of Steamship Line Will Claim
Rights Granted Under American Rule.

Charleston. S. c., March 21.-The American
steamer Cristobal Colon. which came into this
port some days ago with machinery disabled,
sailed for Batabano. Cuba, tonight, and viii
upon arrival take up a regular run between that
port and the Isle Of Pines
T. J. Keenan,, Of Pittsburg, president Of the
Isle OF Pines Steamship Company. who is on
board, said to-day that he had received notice
Irom the Cuban Treasury Department TO reg
lister IN Cuba. This he did not propose to do.
"The Colon's owners" he said. claim the
right TO run between Batabano and the Isle of
Pines under General Woods military regulations
which were subsequently made Cuban law by
agreement with the United States, and which
gives American ships the same rights as native
vessels IN Cuban waters. Disregarding this law
the Cuban Treasury Department insists that the
Colon must have Cuban registry and fly the
Cuban flag"
The owners have appealed TO the State De-
partment at Washington.
