A NEW PLAN
Farmers Institutes in Each Soho oil
District

The Border Telephone at Hume re-
Gently inaugurated movement to hold
Farmers Institutes at the various
school houses in that locality which
seems to have been success, judging
from the following from that paper:
Tho series of Farmers Institute
Meetings as arranged for at points
around Hume, this week, by The Dor.
der Telephone, have met with great
success. Large crowds have attended
and much enthusiasm expressed. 10
fact the results have exceeded all sx-
pectations. Tho project was an ex-
pertinent and uereat deal depended on
tho outcome. 1t may be the starting
point ola movement that may revolu-
tionizs agriculture throughout the
civilized world.
The men who plant, and SOW, and
reap, in time past thought to better
their material prosperity by meeting at
the district school house and expert
menting with politics, organizing the
"wheel," the "alliance," etc. These
movements did not profit the farmer;
soon died out. The farmer must pro-
duce something to sell il he expects to
prosper.
Realizing this, proposed to Mr. Geo.
B Ellis, Secretary Of the Missouri State
Board Of Agriculture that an e1fsrt be
made to induce the farmers to organize
agricultural soceties'in their own school
districts, and hold meetings and take
up course Of study in agriculture with
occasional lectures. Turning the
country literary or political society,
into school, Believing that therein
lay the greater advancement of the
farm.
Mr. Ellis kindly co-opefated with me
in the idea by sending speakers with the
result as above.

FRUIr CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
Promising Outlsek for Big Crops
in rllsseuri This Year

l.. A. Goodman, secretary Of the Mis-
souri, Horticulture Society, and presi-
dent OF the American Pathological So
ciety said last night that the fruit con-
ditions in the state, as rule, we're
good. In the Ozark country, about
third of the liberia peach buds
have been killed, so Mr.. Goodman
says, but this fact isn't significant.
"That doesu't mean" says Mr.. Good
man, "that the crop of peaches is going
to be short. There are good many
more buds than can possibly mature in.
to peaches. Hence the fact that these
buds have been killed doesn't give
reason for belief that the crop will be
short. The weather all winter has been
good for fruits. There is good pro-
spect for apples, plums, pears and in
fact all kiuds Of fruits. I do not think
ever saw better prospect for a big
berry crop than that of this year. The
acreage in tho southern part of the
state is large"
Mr. Goodman has just returned from
visit to the annual meeting of the Wis.
consin Horticultural Society, which he
addressed.
"The problem with the horticaltorists
there" he said, is in discovering 'vari-
ties of fruit trees which are hardy
enough to stand the rigers of those
Northern winters. Tb at is the first
thing to be settled by them. For all
that, they are enthusiastic in the work
and do not seem to be discouraged by
the fact that the extreme cold often
hampers them great deal"
Nj Goodman also attended meeting
of the National Council of Horticulture
at Chicago, Ill. This body was institu-
ted little moro than year ago, hav.
ing for its purpose the creation OF en-
thusiam in horticultural and allied
topics among the people Of the country
generally. A campaign of education
has been planned throughout the United
States. II is the intsHtion of this body
to furnish matter to the largest daily
newspapers of the country once every
weeks and in this way create enthusiasm
and impart information to those who
can be in any way interested in this OBJ

THE "BLUEs"
Farm Work rs an Antidote
to Woe

EARN work is the best possible an
tidote to woe," says the American
Farmer. "Work when feeling little
out of sorts is surer cure than any
medicine doctor may give, A per.
son busy on the farm Is not often troub
led with the blues. Busy people sell
dom become misanthropes, anarchists
or fire brands in the community.
THERE'S nothing better to keep mis-
chief out OF the head than to keep busy
to be persevering, patient and of keep
ing off the "bues" is to keep busy, to
be psrsevering, patient and untiring in
your work. The busy ones may now
and then make a mistake, but the mis-
takes are better than to be idle and in
active. Motion is life and the busiest
are the happiest. Cheerful, active
labor is blessing. Jdleness when long
INDUCED in promotes grief and often
selfishness. Help such people by en-
couraging them to be up and doing;
if possible help them to see the blessing
that lies in work, if you can do this
you have done more to comfort them
permanently than you could in any ct
her manner. AD old philosopher says:

Several Of the leading farmers OF this
county who have been asked as to such
q contest Us the corn contest for boys

culture, speak in the highest terms of
such scheme.
Nothing could be done which will
more interest the farmer boys in the pro-
fession Of agriculture said one farmer
today, "and that is something which we
decidedly want to do. We wantto int
terest the boys beth because we want to
keep them on the farm and because
when we do keep them there we want to
make good farmers OF them"

day before the Jasper County Teachers

and pronounced to be the best and

following is description of the neigh.

pected to smooth a certain prescribed
road extending frsm town to the farther

trip with the King Drag once or twice
over the road soon after each rain. This
kills all he ruts and breaks down the
clods leaving it nearly, if not quite
equal to q 81 1000 macadem road, and at
cost OF lass than $40 per mile. To
meet this, each member subsoribes and
pays to the secretary treasurer the
amount decided upon, from which fund
the drag is built and the "drag master
paid.
Expenses seldom exceed that rate pei
year, although it would be cheap at So
The first club usually extends three OF

beyond soon see the advantages OF this

to five miles farther, and so on until
the whole section is covered with net

MOTHER LOVE OF A DOG

From the London M. A. F.
 While the hot air was palpitating with the vibrations of a heavy cannonade regiment of Japanese troops was crossing narrow ford of the river just south of Liau-yang. A long stream of the sturdy, plodding little men was damned up on the bank where a staggling village had come under the range of Russian fire. In one of it's streets a few yards back we had passed piteous incident of war. SOW was lying dead, killed ap- parently by the fragment of a shell, and round her some of her lean offspring were raising pitiful cries, so human and baby like. Occasionally one or other of them would suck again Intellectually at the maternal source of food supply that yield ed not, and then would gaze at its pros trate mother. Hunger and dismay were never more expressively voiced than in the cries of these little piggies
 While we were waiting at the waters edge for our turn to cross, a Japanese Tommy nudging my arm pointed to two, evidently of the same brood. who were following dog with shrill, impor- tuniate cries She was lank and hun gry looking beast, with tattered, mangy looking coat-one of those mongrel out casts of conine society, the cannon dogs of scavenger dogs, to be found all over China. She was obviously a possessor of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-06-11

a litter of her own, and her gaunt, pro- truding ribs seemed to protest against the tax of maternity. The lean, hungry pig gies chased her, wailing all the time be- seechingly.
 Although she lodged one way and an other, she was unable to shake them off, they still followed screechlng at her heels. She walked into the shallow water. They dashed in after her, but after a few feet the water gurgled in their open mouths and they beat a retreat, and from a knee-deep distance the pair continued their applications. She was at last free of them-they could no longer follow her. Standing in the water she turned her head round slowly and looked at them. She blinked her solemn eyes as if con- sidering and there was not one builder of the Tower of Babel or inhaaftant thereof who could not have understood the language of that cry that the two little orphans kept up
 Then she stepped back toward them and waited. In a second the pair were suck ing ravenously, still standing in the water The merry little gunners laughed, and some of them cheered and she looked round at her strange guests with patient eyes. It made the greatest picture Of charity I had ever seen. She waited un- til they had had their, fill and then they spluttered back to the bank, grunting sat- isfaction if not gratitude.
 One of the onlookers, who probably en- joyed the reputation in his regiment of being an English scholar. addressed me: :: "Al childs-al mothers--all world-all same" I think I understood what he meant.
