prOprlation bill
Mr. Ferris amendment was perhaps
the only important item added 70 the
bill in the House. The only other Ok
Iahoman to score was Representative
Davenport who succeeded in striking
from the bin two obnoxious features
which called upon Indians TO pay the
expenses Of the government Incidental
to making oil and gas leases, an item
that amounted TO about $4,000 annual.
III: also an item appropriating $4,000
to defray the clerical expenses Incl
dental to the sale Of inherited Indian
lands.
The work Of both Alessers Ferris and
Davenport elicited many eongratula-
lions from their colleagues who
we're surprised at the busi-

two men to gain their ends Foremost

for leadership and fill the learned pro-
LESSONS.
Now, in our rural school system we
are not so thoroughly organized. we
have the common schools, which, II
we may judge by the subject matter
taught in them, have for their object
the weaving of the boy from the farm.
This is not as it should be nor as it
will be in the near future. l believe
am safe in predicting that within five
years the rudiments of agriculture
will be absolutely taught in these ru-
raj schools We have found the way
to do this even with teachers who
know nothing about agriculture.
Strictly speaking, we do not expect
teachers in the rural schools ever to
teach agriculture in the sense in which
that term is usually used. We do ex-
pect them, however, to study agricul-
ture with their pupils. 1t will only
be short while before good manuals
will be available that will enable the
teachers to do this. We have discov-
cred how it can be done. In addition
to our rural schools we have the Agr1-
cultural Colleges. Heretofore a good
many people nave SAp0CCSu C1S ASlA
cultural College not only to do it's own
work of preparing leaders in agricul-
ture-teachers, experimenters, writer's,
institute workers and the like-but al
so to do the work of the high schools
and to furnish trained agriculturists
to man our farms. To do this every
Agricultural College in this country
would have to turn out 1000 graduates
in agriculture every year. 1t is absurd
to expect them to do this. This work
must be done by the high schools, in
the main. The college will do as much
of it as it can. Some of the states are
already building agricultural high
schools. The Davis bill now before
Congress, with excellent prospects OF
passing this winter, will grant federal
funds for 100000 agricultural popula-
ton. When these schools have been
consolidated, putting four or five dis
tricts into one, so that we may hope to
get graduates of the agricultural col
lege to teach agriculture in them, rural
life will be adequately represented in
our system of education.

parts.
6. To facilitate spraying and har-
vesting.
Z. To facilitate tillage.
8. To train the tree to some desired
form.
8. To remove parts badly infested
with insects and disease.
The above points will make us see
the Importance of pruning and prun-
ing right, far more than we generally
realize and practice.
In addition to these rules, or per-
maps to more particularly crystalize
them, we may consider the purpose of
pruning under the following heads:
Cd We prune to control the shape
of the tree This is done more III
pruning yonng trees trees than old
ones (2) We prune to let in sun
light and air. Without sunlight we
cannot get highly colored fruit. We
all know that in the top and on the
outside of our trees we get the apples
having the best color. The apples
lacking in color are generally those
from which the sunlight is excluded
by the foliage. 60 We assist the
work of thinning our fruit by thinning
the tops by pruning. If we cut off
the top of an apple tree except one
limb, that one limb may be very thick
ly set with apples, but they will all
be large and we'll colored We have
seen this in top-grafting-th limb or
limbs left will generally be loaded
with large, fine apples, then by thin
ming out the top we save thinning by
hand to some extent.

LYDIA E. PfNKHHM

Nature and woman's work CON-
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 effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. st.
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
OF other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer
ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times ]
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l 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 is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
1t will do for other suffering women
