Die lectures on scientific agriculture.

theories were put into practice almost

there was an immense rise in produc-

Although agriculture in England ha.
suffered in the last TWENTY-FIVE yeals

Three Essentials to Agriculture.
There are three essentials to anv
agriculture worthy of the name. The
first is rotation of croDS. our low
average yield is due to the a~ntiouat-
ed system all too prevalent of raising
the same crop Indefinitely on the same
land, until II has been worn out or
so reduced that the owner is in dam
ger of poverty. Even h ferti-
lizers, the yield of a given area may
be immensely increased and the pro-
ductlve diversion preserved from ex.
haustion merely by the restorative
variety of change which seems to he
a law of all living things. Some inter.

Would you like to hear Miss
Boynton next season? We are 60
ing to get her back, and here is
what an April magazine says about
her: Personality and Art-Miss
Boynton is a rare combination of
these two platform essentials.
Where the one leaves off and the
other begins is point too fine for
discovery. The even balance of
art and personality makes Miss
'Boynton one of the best and most
pleasing readers heard in the ly-
ceum during my time.
To hear Miss Boynton is never
to forget her program to know
Miss Boynton is never to forget
her.
For our next years course we
would be glad to have suggestions
from any one interested who will
help us to make it the very best
possible.

Follow Up Game"

NORTH YAKIMA, Dec. C.
Both the passenger and emigration
departments of the Northern Pacific
railroad are to take an active part in
boosting the Yakima valley and tell
the truth about this fertile section
Arrangements have been made by
the railroad officials for cooperation
with the publicity committee in its
nouncements have been made by
them
Every inquiry received by the pub
LEFTY committee in regard TO North
Yakima is to be followed up by
the railroad. Travelling passenger
agents will be given the names of
these inquirers, and will make a call
on the writer, telling him all about
the Yakima country and suggesting
an immediate trip to this section
This practically means that the pas
senger department of the railroad
will pay to have the inquirers visited
by personal booster" for the
Yakima valley.
From the emigration department
of which c. W. Mott is the chief.
comes the interesting announcement
that travelling representatives of the
road will lecture this fall and win
ter in the rural schools of the east,
talking to the farmers about the
Yakima country and the prosperity
here. The department will not finish
It's work there, but will forward to
each inquirer of the committee, three
pamphlets regarding the Yakima
country.
The cooperation of the railroad
With the Yakima Boosters club will
probably bring excellent results. and
Its value to North Yakima can hard
ly be estimated. That such an ar
rangement has been made without
knowledge of many in North Yakima
can be taken as an indication that
the committee is doing lots OF work
that 1t is not talking about and Is
boosting even more than is suspected
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1907-12-11

of them were first grade certificates,
203 second grade certificates and 215
third grade certificates. One hun.
dred and twenty-three of the 500 ap-
plicants were without teaching ex-
perience. OF these 35 were success
full. This does not mean that IS
out of 1928 we're successful the first
time up. Some of these successful
inexperienced applicants have been
up as many as three times.
This is the smallest examination
in many years, being little more than
one-half the size Of the August ex-
animation. There are various rea-
sons for this: First, the large issue
of permanent first grade certificates
in July last; second, the power of the
county superintendent to issue tenn
porary certificates for a year, and
the power of city superintendent in
cities of 10000 to do the same. and,
last, by far the most important rea-
son, there was a greater percentage
of successful applicants in August
than formerly.

Mix This at Home.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism
by forcing the kidneys to filter from
the blood and system all the uric
acid and poisonous waste matter, re.
lieving at once such symptoms as
backache, weak kidneys and bladder
and blood diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingre-
dents from any good pharmacy:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparil-
la, three ounces. Mix by shaking
we'll in a bottle, and take a teaspoon
full after each meal and again at
bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles 1t will fail to cure perma-
nently
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department:
If not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rath-
er than fail to use this, If you are
afflicted

the first axiom OF trout fishing.
As the stream becomes warmer. the
trout seek the cool pools and shaded
places, They are to be found where a
cold spring bubbles up into the stream
or where mountain creek enters; of.
ten number frequent the same haunt.
Each additional fish means two more
eyes to watch for tho fisherman. One
trout Is all that is necessary to give
danger signal by darting away. The
rest Immediately follow suit. To catch
more than one--or even that--in such
a place takes skill In the use OF the
line. But who has said trout fishing Il

could not be found guilty Of travelling
without ticket or Of having commit.
ted any of the other small sins OF
which passengers are sometimes
found guilty. When travelling to and
from college he had always had with
him a number of books, passengers
luggage. 1t had since dawned upon
him that he ought to have paid for the
freight OF these books--that they were
not legitimate passengers luggage.
The company returned the check with
thanks and praise and all things nice
for his scrupulous conscientiousness
But he sent 1t back and insisted upon
its acceptance. The company did not

Because: Your home merchant Is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective artt
Gle purchased Of him.
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason 1t Is necessary for you to
ask for credit, you can go to the local
merchant. Could you ask 1t Of a mail
order house?
Because: II merchant Is willing
to extend you credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade.
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and exerts every effort to
build and better your market, thus In.
creasing both the value of city and
country property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does not tighten your taxes or In any
way hold the value Of your property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does nothing for the benefit Of mar
kets or real estate values.
Because: II your town is good
