Seeding Peaches Have Value.

In eastern Kansas the Seeding
peach has proved as profitable dur
ing the past FIVE or six years as the
high priced budded varieties. While
the later have for several years been
almost total failures here, says a
Kansas correspondent of the Farm
and Home, the well-kept seeding
trees have rarely failed to yield at
least light crop of the luscious
fruit. Budded peaches bear much
larger and finer fruit when they do
bear and the trees are harder and
of more thrifty growth. The life of
the Seeding is comparatively short.
necessitating the planting of lew
every year. Some of the best budded
varieties produce almost the same
kind from seed. The Heath Cling
and some of the offsprings from Ell
berta are among these.

The First Postage Stamps.

The postage stamp. like the rail-
road and the telephone, is a nine
teenth century invention. and only
sixty-five years of age, at that says
the Washington Star. Great Britain
was the first country TO adopt this
idea of cheap postal communication
Jan 10. 1910. 1t was about 1885 that
Rowland Hill, an Englishman. turned
his attention to the postal system of
his country. By degrees and by care
fully watching the system then In
vogue Hill became convinced that a
uniform cheap postage in the shape
of an adhesive stamp for prepayment
on mail matter would not only become
popular with the people, but at the
same time materially increase the rev.
enue of Great Britain. The English
postoffice authorities discouraged the
scheme as much as possible. Never
theless, from mere force of public
sentiment, it was introduced into par
Lament and ratified in 1899. OF course
when the measure became a law pos.
age stamps were great success and
have since been adopted by all civil
lied and a number of uncivilized coun-
tries of the world. Mr.. Hill became
prominently identified with the postal
system of Great Britain. and in 1860,
in recognition of his great servicel.
Queen Victoria made him a X. C. T.
(knight commander of the BATH. He
passed away in 1882, full of honors, al
a ripe old age. He may be called
the father of the postage stamp"
Great Britain was the first country to
adopt adhesive stamps and compare
lively cheap postage for its people,
for it was not until 1S47 that the
United States fell in line i'm this re-
spect. The issuing of stamps for post
age use is left to the postmaster-ger-
eral. who from time to time, as the
exigencies of the case require. has the
different stamps that he deems requi-
site issued to the public. The printing
of the postage stamps of this country
was formerly done by private bank
note companies, but now the govern
ment does its own work. All of the
stamps are printed by the bureau If
engraving and printing of Washing
ton. under the direction of the treas
ury department. This has been done
since 1894. The issuing of the postal
commodities in the postoffice depart
ment is in the hands of the third s.s-
sistant postmaster-general.

A GOOD COW.
Story of One Animal of Jersey Strain
Who Paid Her Owner
Good Protit.

A dairyman who does not own many
cows. and those good ones. recently
gave the following figures concerning
one of his cows. a purebred Jersey. to
the Ohio Farmer.
Her first calf was dropped in 1897
heifer-now a valued member of the
herd. Her next calf came in 1898. with
a successor each year up to the pres
ent. making nine calyes in all. Three
were females and six males. The helf-
ers have been retained in the herd and
the bulls sold at an average OF $50
each. Valuing the heifers at the same,
the nine calves represent an earning
of $500. With her second calf she
made test of $50 pounds of milk in
seven days. churning II pounds, four
ounces of butter. Her average milk
yield has been $500 pounds, sold to
creamery at an average of $l.2O per
100 pounds. an aggregate for eight
years of 1920. Adding the value OF the
calves to the amount received for milk,
her gross earnings amount to s1.0SO.
These figures are very eloquent for the
good special purpose cow, but were not
given to me. nor do | record them. as
anything extraordinary. An annual
yield of 1900 pounds of five per cent.
milk, while indicating cow of great
merit does not raise her above thou
sands of other good cows. She has
broken no records but she has kept
the faith. She has always had good
care, good feed and plenty of it. She
has been given a chance. She is a
COW of robust constitution, great
feeder, a strong mixer and a reliable
breeder.
Her feed had been the ordinary feed
of the herd. Pasture and soiling crops
in summer, corn silage, mixed hay,
corn meal, wheat bran and oil meal in
winter. She has never been fed ex-
cessively. but has never gone hungry
nor in any way known abuse.

There was a vein of shrewd com
nonsense about all this that i'm
pressed Constance. Still the futility
of such an attempt, if it was as she
said, struck her as forcibly.
1T doesn't seem as if any man in
his senses would do such thing"
No. it don't; but there's queer

A new mixer will at first get less

the animal is accustomed.
Culls and ewes that do not own or
rear their lambs properly, may be
turned off in the same way.
Old sheep should now be separated
from the rest of the flock and given
extra care. They can be improved in
flesh and sent to market, where some
return can be realized from them

Every man that has large number
of hogs should endeavor 10 give them
a good pasture. Too many breeders
are contented with a hog pasture that
is covered with native grasses only.
Clovers and blue grass make a good
pasture for swine.
The Lamar register., 1906-05-23

Many of the hog yards found about
the country reek with filth If swine
are to be kept healthy they should
be given clean yards. The hog is not
by nature dirty animal. even II he
does wallow in mud. 1t is doubtful If
hog cholera would get a start if the
hog quarters were never allowed to
become filthy. Many and many a
farmer has had his hogs become sick
merely from the condition of the hog
yard. When the rains fall such yards
are a mass of mud, and when the
weather becomes dry they are filed
with fine dust. which gets into the
lungs of the animals and causes
symptoms similar to pneumonia and
to hog cholera. 1t is possible on most
farms to have several hog yards, and
to keep the animals in one yard for
but a short time. Such an arrange
ment is a most satisfactory one.

MEDICINE HAT WANTS BOOM.

Medicine Hi t is one of the towns
pardon us, cit es,-in the Canadif n
Northwest wi ich is making a gre 1t
bid just now Tor its share of the pre- g
ent boom in Canada. The mayor of
Medicine Hat goes so far as to adver-
tise the3 merits of that noble city IN
some Canadian papers. Its virtues
are dwelt upon in these advertise
ments at great length. and particul-:'
stress is laid upon the fact that IL

Medicine Hat a particularly favoraE e
place for the location of manufactl ?
ing plants.
Somehow we seem to have hea d
the name of Medicine Hat before If
our memory does not fail us, this is
the place where the weather man says
the cold waves come from. When the
mercury sinks 10 zero in the Ohio Va
ley this considerate gentleman some
times calls our attention to the fact
that it is 40 below at Medicine Hat"
This does not seem so bad in August.
but it must be pretty cold reality in
January.
Medicine Hat deserves its growing
fame. Strange that in his references
to the many advantages of his grow
ing city the mayor of Medicine Hat
never alludes to the cold wave indus

Strange things have happened since

feared he had been drowned in the
river, or that he had met with some

that it was thought might be his.
This idea followed the bank troubles.
