FARM LABOR.
Hard 70 Get and Of Poor ouaIity--A
suggested Remedy.

One Of the most common complaints
to-day coming from the farm IL the
incompetency Of most of the farm Ia
to be doubted that this will result
finally In the establishing OF some
kind Of school or bureau where 1t
will be possible for crude laborers to
be made into competent farm labor
ers. There are thousands Of Idle men
In the cities In ordinary times that
would be glad to 90 out and work In
the country II they understood the
work. Farm work also varies 20 great
ly In character that one kind of farm
laborer il not well fitted to do other
kinds Of farm labor.
Thus city man that has worked
as stable man In . great horse breed
ing establishment would not be well
fitted by his experience to 80 to work
for . horticulturist. When he loses
his position with the horse-breeder. he
turns his face city-ward and goes to
work for some man in town. II he
had an opportunity to learn how to
do all kinds Of farm work he could
readily change from one class Of work
to another. but as a matter of fact It
is not easy for a man that wishes to
learn farming to get with a man that
will let him learn all kinds Of farming
Usually his work is 80 one-sided that
he makes little progress.
This Is matter that will doubtless
be taken up in time by the depart
ments In our agricultural colleges that
deal with farm economics. thinks
Farmers Review. 1t would be entire
ly easy for some one Of our agricul.
tural colleges to start such fitting
school as an experiment. with the
idea Of turning out annually . few
all-around farm laborers. who would
have learned many kinds Of work In
the various departments Of the expert
ment station farm. Laborers 30 taught
would have the advantage Of having
been taught more correct principles
Of farming than il true with most Ia
borers, who pick up q good deal Of
error with tte facts they acquire.

Fertilizers Pay.

No farmer should lose sight Of the
fact that all fertilizers have great
value, and not pound of fertilizer
should be allowed to go to waste. On
general principles a farmer should be
always working into his soil the mate
rials that will make plant food. An
abundance of plant food is required In
the soil, If farming is to be carried on
prcfitably. 1t should be remembered
that every particle Of vegetable mat
ter makes fertility when 1t decays, and
should be worked into the soil. The
non-appreciation Of this fact leads to
the loss Of large quantities of barn
yard manure, which Is allowed to go
70 waste In various ways.

usually already present) the materials,

The soil pipe to the cesspool should
have a good fall 80 as always to run

trapped and vented in the best man

also be trapped and vented-a plum

DWARF FRUITS.
EarIiness 10 Their Chief Point Of Ad
vantage Over Other Varieties.

Dwarf fruits cannot be made COM
mercially profitable, but they have
some advantages over other fruits in
the earliness with which the tree be-
gins to bear. Dwarf pears under good
treatment as to soil come quickly into
bearing. The most prolific sortA give
some fruit the second year after set.
ting. and increase the product from
year to year for . number Of years.
A good many dwarf apples are now
being planted, and these soon produce
good crops. OF course these trees are
short-lived and cannot be made to
take the place Of the standard sort
of apples and pears. There are
many farms, however. on which 1t is
desired to have some fruit in q
few yeaA and these furnish the
means.
They sho> Id not, however, be plant.
ed between rows Of standard trees, a.
some suggest, but In a plantation by
themselves. The plan of planting be.
tween standard trees short-lived trees
that are to be dug out never works
out satisfactorily. Here and there will
be found q short-lived tree of more
than usual value and longevity and
the owner will not cut 1t out Nor
should such trees be dispensed with
till they have passed their period of
usefulness. II they are in a planta-
ton of their own the best trees oan
be left to grow and bear fruit long
after the others have been cut out.

LYDIA z. PtNKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs Of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and eff1ca-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 615 NC. st.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
"Complete restoration to health
means 20 much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
For twelve years had been suffer.
ing with tho worst forms Of female ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It 10
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muf,
twill do for other suffering women.

A SIGN OF PROGRESS.

The signs of progress in Russia are not as many and as conspicuous as Russian patriots and other patriots wish they were, but 1t is a sign of progress that the signers of the fam ous Viborg passive -resistance mani- festo have been found guilty of trea- sonabe conduct and sentenced to very short terms of Imprisonment We say this is a sign of progress, for awhile ago there could not have been such manifesto and if there had been it's signers would have been sum- marily and completely dealt with. But now it has been found inexpedient to apply vigorously the letter of the law to men so prominent and respected and SD essentially pacific, patriotic and .law-abiding as the maiorits of tho de- fend3nts have been They had taken the governments promises Of genuine reform, of constitutionalism and re- generation, too seriously from the point of view of the hureaucrats and reactionaries, and when the duma in which they had played q controlling part was dissolved they regarded thc move as a counter-revoirtlorary one and thought themselves morally justi- fled in advising a boycott of the ire sponsible ministry, which proposed to legislate for a time without the hol; of the peoples representative.

A BIGGER BASIS FOR CHEER

In these days of "shrinkages" 1t is particularly pleasing and cheering to notice one case where there is not only not a shrinkage but a very sub stantial and valuable increase. Awhile ago, in the scare" days, we were con- soling ourselves with the thought that the country was resting securely on a basis of $7,OOO, ,OOO,O0O worth of agricultural products. It now appears that it was resting on an even better basis than that The latest and com pletest figuring shows that the mar ket value of our cotton, meats, dairy products, poultry, eggs, and other things produced by the agriculturist last year was $7.4O0,0O0, ,00O
 So we can afford to be about six per cent. more cheerful than we have been And we can soon begin to plough and plant for seven or eight billions more. A pretty rich country, my masters.

ANOTHER AGGRESSIVE ONE.

There seems to be no longer any immediate danger from deer in New Haven. It is some time since anyone here has been scared by perplexed or predatory deer. But people are not as safe in Chestnut Hill, as George Sco- vile of that place, can testify. His brother, Henry Scoville Of Middle town, had been visiting him and so he walked with him to the station, his dog accompanying him. The dog start ed large buck, and the buck charg- ed Mir Scoville While MT. Scovlle escaped, the lantern he was carrying was knocked from his hand and smashed to smithereens.
 If these wild and fierce animals don't reform it may yet become ne- cessary for the good people of Col- necticut to carry guns when they eo anywhere, just as they did in the goot old days when the Indians were as wild and fierce as the deer and the oysters. But let us not have a deer panic right after a money panic.
