Rural Delivery Troubles.

At banquet recently rendered
Congressman Jones at North Yakima
Postmaster Lemon, in responding to
the toast, "What l would do in the
way Of postal legislation if l were
congressman" said:
1.-THE first thing 1 would do would
be to labor to change the name Of the
rural free delivery, and also strive to
do away with rural telephone sys-
TENS.
because Of the name rural free
delivery many persons believe when =
new route 10 Arst started that it not
only applies to the United States
mail, but to verything else.
mot long ago, soon after . new
route had been established in the
valley, I was awakened about 4:30
O'Clock one morning by the ringing oil
the telephone. When l finally arose
and answered it q gentle voice in.
quired:
"'Is this the postmastsrr
"when I replied in the affirmative
she said:
This 10 Mrs. -, ON the new
rural route, talking. When the car
rier comes out in the morning will
you please have him bring me three
Rochester lamp burnersi'
ION another occasion my telephone
awoke me about midnight and ]
hastily arose to answer it. 1t was q
gentle female voice that greeted me
BY asking if 1 was the postmaster,
She then told her name, which wsr
that Of woman residing on . new
rural route, whose homo WAS about
seventeen miles from the city.
"'When the delivery starts out in
the morning. she said, please send
me a package Of cornstsrch, = Eve
pound sack Of salt, . washboiler, a
dashboard, half pound Of tea, . pint
Of vinegar, 81 worth Of sugar, some
-
"But, madam, I finally managed to
interrupt, this 10 the postmaster you
are addressing and not the proprietor
OF . grocery store.
"I understand that she answered,
but since We have . rural free deliv.
cry route up our valley don't you at.
tend to having everything delivered
free up heref'
"Why, NO, I responded; that ap.
plies only to the free delivery Of mail
'Whatp she shouted. why ]
have . box 1t the North Yakima post.
Office for which pay 80 cents quar-.
ter, and all my mail goes there. j
don't want you to send it out to me
I thought that with rural free delivery
everything would be brought to u,
free.'
"With that she slammed up the
receiver"

A Letter..

A man can be almost anything he
Wills to be, as he must have the con.
sent OF his will before he can act.
If a man would have friends he
must show himself friendly.
If a man would have good neigh.
bors he must be one himself.
If man frowns at the world the
most OF the world will return a frown
or q hard look.
The man who has no confidence in
other men-there is none to be put
in him.
Take good care of your purse hen
in company with a man who says he
would starve to death before he would
steal.
Many shallow people put on wise
look.
Perhaps it is a great pity for the
church and the world that some OF
our modern Greek scholars were not
present to correct the forty seven
men when they we're translating the

A summer poet with his eye in a
fine frenzy rolling, asks: "Where are
the dreams OF yester year?' This is
rather a peculiar query, even for a
summerster. The dreams are like
the yester years themselves-"keep-
ing time, time, time with a sort OF
runic rhyme" in the dim vista OF
vanished visions. A dream can't be
canned like peaches, tomatoes and
corn. The poet Can witness just as
lively and startling dreams as those
that have skidooed if he will eat
Wsllenstein pie, dozen raw oysters,
some picked pigs feet and drink
pint OF hard cider before going to bed.

CroUS Following Cow Peas.

One ought not to get the Idea that a
worn out piece Of ground can be plant
ed to COW peas one ear and be sown
to seed so as TO raise a paying crop the
following year. Cow peas renovate the
soil and supply nitrogen. but they can
not and do not entirely rebuild 1t in 4
short period. If one has a worn out
strip of soil, he must expect to spend
some time and energy on it TO get it in
proper condition. A plan somewhat af-
ter the following would work we'll Sow
five pecks of COW peas per acre broad
cast and with them four or five hun
dred pounds Of some good fertilizer. US
ing a fertilizer more heavily endowed
with potash and phosphoric acid than
with nitrogen, although it should con-
tain some nitrogen. About the middle
of the summer pillow the COW peas I'M
der, lime the soil heavily, five hundred
pounds or more to the acre, harrow in
and SOW to a mixture of crimson clover
and rape. This, plowed under the fol-
lowing spring, would give one 4 soil
fairly good for some cultivated crop
upon which a liberal quantity Of fer
.ilIzer should be used.-EXchange.

Theory Not to Be Scorned.

1t IS safe to say that in no other pro-
~feSsion, for farming is q profession IL
properly carried on, are there $ o few
practitioners who understand the fun
damental principles OF their week as
among farmers.
We call in a physician. and feel that
if he can not tell us pretty nearly what
the trouble is with the patient that he
does not understand his business. We
give a case TO 4 lawyer. and if he makes
a mess OF 1t we feel. and rightly, that
he Is not up in his profession. We Of
the farm have a poor crop under nor
NAL weather conditions, and guess at
the cause.
II we pillow and SOW we hope the soil
will bring a certain return. If it does
not, how many of us can tell why? The
truth Of the matter is, We pillow and SOW
without much regard to why We do it.
and with even less regard of what our
soil needs are and whether we have
supplied them
II every soil worker in the country
could take a course of one year in prac-
teal soil chemistry. there would be
such a change in farming operations
and results as would startle the world.
We read and see many agricultural sue
cesses, and in each and every ease we
would find. If we Investigated, that the
owner of the farm was we'll ~acqualnt-
ed with it--as we'll acquainted with the
case as the successful lawyer is who
wins a case before the bar. Why not
begin to study the farm? 1t surely will
pay.-lndianapolis News.

According to Doctor Peters, a we'll
known veterinarian, nothing is better
for worms in the lungs of hogs than
creosote. 1t cleans out the intestinal
tract. 1t can be administered in the
following manner with the best sue
cess: Coal creosote, one ounce; water,
n~inety-nine ounces. One pint Of water
weighs sixteen ounces. One ounce Of
the mixture is the dose for a fu%ll-grown
animal, and is the dose administered
with the morning feed. If it is neces-
sary to drench the animal, use a
drenching tube made by taking an or
binary tin funnel and a rubber tube,
place the rubber tube into the animals
mouth and allow it to bite on it, and
pour the drench into the funnel. It
is better to place a piece of metal on
the end Of the rubber tube so that the
animal may bite on it continually with
out stopping the flow by pinching the
rubber tube.

Care of Old Orchards.

The man who starts out with a
young and vigorous orchard is quite
likely to give it reasonable good care.
for he believes that, In time, it will
bring him good returns. On the other
hand, the man with an old orchard,
that is IN adult orchard, so to speak,
generally believes that its days Of use
fitness are over and gives 1t little or
no care and, as a result, 1t amouats to
but little. Experienced orchardsts
who have gone into the matter exten-
sively think that the orchard which
is not too old is we'll worth caring for
and many of them have made them
pay handsomely by the simple process
of cultivation of the soil, pruning and
spraying the trees.
There always has been, and there
always will be, a good demand for first
class butter. The man who makes good
butter, not necessarily butter that the
groceryman calls good, bu butter that
the most critical trade p~ronoupces good.
will always bring remunerztive prices.
There Is no reason why the farmer
should not be able to make as good but
ter as any modern creamery. in fact,
there are many reasons why he can
make better butter. It all depends up
on the Individual and the facilities he
has for turning out q good product !.
