Government Land.

While land in the congested cities of
the East is selling at fabulous prices
front fo0S an agricultural land in
close proximity is far beyond the reach
of the immigrant and citizen of small
means, theme yet remains in the hands
of the government, open TO acquire
ment undee the general land laws, an
acreage exceeding The total under pri-
vate ownership by more than 45,000,000
acres, not including the national parks
and reservations The greater portion
OF this immense territory, seven times
sissippi liver and Is divided among
twenty-five States and territories. BY
30 means has all the desirable land
been appropriated. Three million acres
lie within regions abundantly watered
by natural rainfall and many millions
Of acres hitherto arid land Will in due
time be brought to q high state of pro-
ductiveness under government and pri-
vate irrigation projects. There are also
many millions of acres of forest avail
able under the timber laws and great
tracts OF grazing land awaiting the
herder. All this is exclusive Of Alaska
with its 350,000000 acres open to en-
try which have been overlooked, it be-
Ing considered cold and barren re-
gion. Large tracts there are favorable
to agricultural pursuits as well as the
mining industry, and with the develop
ment Of the transportation facilities
will furnish homes for large farm
ing population.
The right to homestead on the pub
lie domain is the greatest privilege of
American citizenship. The right to
homestead is co-existent with citizen
ship. Every citizen over twenty-one
years of age every immigrant who has
declared his or her intention of becom-
ing a citizen; every head of family,
male or female, even though under
twenty-one, may locate tract not to
exceed 100 acres, and after five years
residence will receive absolute title
thereto.
There are some restrictions to this
general statement of homestead rights.
A head of family is anyone who has
dependent on him or her any relative.
ANY one who has previously made
homestead, or perfected title to one,
or who owns more than 100 acres OF
land in any State or territory OF the
Union Is also debarred.-Indianapo

UNRAvElING A MYSTERY.
What a Sleuth-HOund of the Law
Dead-Fye Dave discovered

What a Sieuth-HOund of the Law,
Dead-Eye Dave, Discovered.
The sleuth-hound of the law, Dead
Eye Dave, paused before the heavy
oaken door at the end of the dark pas
sage, says Judge. His trained ear de-
tected strange sounds within.
'Ah, haI7 he muttered through his
false whiskers. Can this be their
stronghold?'
CHANGING swiftly around, he stopped
and placed his ear to the keyhole. The
villains inside were evidently unaware
Of the detectives presence. Straining
every nerve to the utmost, he heard
the following:
"Who deals? Oh, mine is It? Say,
wouldn't we a-showed 'em a trick or
two if we'd had them spades? Well,
now, you can gamble, oh, no. You
lead hearts, Ell? Well, that's mine,
anyhow, Pardner, you can frog that'n
with ten-spotter. What, didn't have
it. Ell? There. how'd We like that?
What a diamond: Never let up on
trumps when you've begun on 'em.
say! It's yours, pard. Now, you fell
lows might s well loosen up and toss
in your hands. We've got the cards
eh, pard? All right! Come on with
your rat-killin', What whatll Well,
by thunder. We lose, eh? Well, we
didn't have any show at all. Not card
worth mentioning in my hand Rotten I!
Deal 'em up, somebody"
The sleuth drew his arm across his
dripping brow then, in a voice CULVER
ing with suppressed emotion, he re-
marked:
Just as l thought! Those fellows
are-playing whist'
With these words he stole softly
away and was lost in the night.

The First coache. I'm London.

In London riding was the only alter
native to walking at the beginning of
Elizabeth's reign, and q lady never
rode without six or seven serving men
to carry attire suitable to the con-
tingencies, and the means to repair a
toilet which might suffer on the jour
ney. To diminish this cost coaches
came into Use. They were introduced
in 1864 by Dutch coachman OF the
Queen, but we are told "a coach was
strange monster IN those days, and
the sight of it put both man and horse
into amazement; some said it was a
great crabshell brought out Of China,
and some imagined it to be one of the
pagan temples In which the cannibals
worshipped the devil. But at length
these doubts were cleared and coach
making became a substantial trade. So
rapid was the increase in coachs that
i'll 1601 an act of Parliament was pass
ed ito restrain the excessive and SUI
perfluous use Of coaches within this
realm"

A Habit with Hin.

There was business man in q little
Western town who never had good
word for anybody. Every one held him
in more or less fear and many disliked
him strongly. He made no effort to
cultivate friendships, and at one time
or another almost every inhabitant of
the village had had a quarrel with him.
One day the old lion tried to board
train which did not stop. He was
thrown great distance and fell In a
heap on the track In the rear of the
departing train. The group of villag-
ers on the depot platform thought that
their hereditary enemy had been killed
before their eyes and were ready to
drop all their bitter prejudices at the
grave.
One ran up to where the fallen mon
arch lay, and, seeing signs of return
ing life, anxiously asked: Are you
badly hurt, captain?"
With the first short breath the fallen
man was able to draw he gasped: mo,

TONIC TREATMENT
Weak Stomach and Sick Headache
Cured by Or. Williams
Pink Pills.


The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have q ravenous
appetite, others loathe the sight of food.
Often there is feeling as of weight on
the chest, a full feeling in the throat.
Sometimes the gas presses on the heart
and leads the sufferer to think he has
heart disease. Sick headache is a fire.
quent and distressing symptom.
A weak stomach needs a digestive
tonic and that there is no better tonic
for this purpose than DIR. Williams Pink
Pills is shown by the statement of Mr.
A. 9. Merrill, mining man, of Oneals,
Calf, q veteran of Battalion @, Third
u. S. Regular Infantry.
i had never been well since / left
the army" he says, "always having had
trouble with my stomach, which was
weak. / was run down and debilitated.
Could keep nothing ON my stomach,
and at times had sick headache so bad
that l did not care whether / lived or
died. My stomach refused TO retain
even liquid food and / almost despaired
of getting well as / had tried SO many
kinds of medicine without relief. Then
/ was bitten by a rattlesnake and that
laid me up from work entirely for
year, six months of which spent in bed.
One day a friend recommended DR..
Williams Pink Pills to me and began
taking them. They cured me when all
other medicine had failed / have
recommended the pills to great many,
for during my recovery every one asked
me what was helping me so and 1 told
them DIR. Williams Pink Pills. 1 can
not speak too highly of them"

Reneat. of Thinning.

In spite of the fact that the thinning
of growing fruit insures better quail
ity, encourages more even yields year
after year, and prevents the overload
ing that often breaks down the trees,
there are comparatively few farmers
who make any attempt to cut of the
unusual and unnecessary strain upon
the strength and vitality of the tree.
Men have become accustomed to re-
lieving the weight on the limbs by prop
ping from beneath, and while this
method often prevents the breaking
down of the tree. 1t does not foster the
vitality which is so severely drawn
upon that the yield for the coming year
is virtually mfnimized.
Among the Fruit growers the prob
lem of thinning is becoming recognized
for It's merit. The thrifty horticuitur-
list prefers a medium yield of fruit
every year of superior quality rather
than On enormous output every other
year Of ordinary quality. Experience
has taught hira that he can profitatly
destroy from 20 to so per cent of his
fruit crop by thinning, inasmuch as he
secures more desirable fruit, lessons
his labor and in the end realizes more
profit.
While we recognize the fact that
the average farmer is not in a position
to compete with the fruit specialist,
still this is nc, evidence that he cannot
shape his methods along the lines sug-
gested by the successes of the other.
Therefore we venture to assert that the
farmer with a fruit tree promising to
break under the overload can better af-
ford to relieve 1t of a portion of its
crop. rather than seek props TO assist
its over-prod5ction and subsequent de-
teriOYation.

Potato Men Must Fall I'm Line.
The recent bulletin. of the Geneva
On. W experiment station gives re-
suits of cooperative tests made by
thirty growers which together show
net profit of $4,000 from spraying. The
average increase in yseid from spraying
was 621i bushels Pc. acre, done at a
cost of $49S per acre. The cost for
each spraying was 93 cents The net
profit per acre was S24.S6. These re-
suits are in line with those obtained
with similar experiments in 1903. The
spraying was found 90 lengthen time of
growth by preventing late brack. Not
only was the quantity greater. but 1t
was found that the potatoes contained
one-sixteenth more dry matter in the
sprayed fields AMI one-ninth more
starch, and as might be expected were
more mealy and of better cooking quail
ity. Spraying is almost universal
practice in the Avoostook region, it
being declared that there is scarcely
an acre in the whole section not regu-
larly sprayed. Growers use the large
power sprayers which treat four rows
at once and do the work very quickly,
making three to eight applications dur
ing the season, according to circun-

Too Many Hens in a House.


The main idea in keeping a large
number of fowls in one house is to care
for them more easily, but there are al
ways risks to run which cannot be
avoided even by the m.)st experienced
and careful worker. Al things con-
sidered, the plan of having one roof
cover the poultry house, no matter how
large, is advisable, but the matter Of
division is thing to be seriously con-
sidered. In our own experience we like
the scratching shed divisions better
than anything else. Tits is worked out
by building a roosting room, then
scratching shed, then another roosting
room. another scratching shed, and so
on to the end OF the house. The idea
is thslt each house has its own scratch
ing shed, which is located between two
roosting rooms except at one end.
