Dennis Horigan, who is connected
with the United States naval observa-
tory. is perhaps the oldest weather man
in the United States, says Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Sun. He
has been keeping tab on the weather
for fifty-two years.
Long before the weather bureau was
established Mr. Horigan was making
observations at the observatory night
and day every three hours, noting the
temperature, the barometric pressure,
the nature of the clouds and the direc-
tion of the wind. Appointed under the
administration of President Buchanan,
in 1857, he has been in the service
ever since.
He is now old, yet in fair health,
considering his long service and the
fact that ii included night work. He
came from the old country in the SOS,
and settled in Georgetown, then the
most important part of the District
of Columbia.

Farm Profession.

It is well in the higher education
that the candidates for all professions
drink at the fountain of common knowl-
edge. 1t is only after acquiring an
education that the mind is broadened
to choose a profession adapted to its
innate taste and qualifications. 1t
were better that the young man make
good lawyer or pharmacist than an
Indifferent farmer. The professions
need to be recuperated from the
sources of natural supply, which en-
brace natural qualifications inherited
from national character. The fact
that a boy is born on the farm does
not necessarily destine him for an agri-
culturist, and education will bring out
his latent talents and reveal to him
self the profession b which he is best
adapted.
The inhabitants of cities are made
up OF a population from all sources
The city-born boy may inherit the in
est success in life in following hus-
bandry. He wants to get back to ma
ture and live the simple life, free from
The strife and tumult of great city.
He should be encouraged to follow
his natural inclination and achieve the
destiny for which he is qualified by
nature.
While philosophy and general
knowledge are taught in the public
schools, the general curriculum should
include a primary course i'm agricul-
ture. 4 profession which includes
nearly one-third of the population and
produces more wealth than any other
occupation should be exploited in the
public schools. SO indissolubly IN agri-
culture associated with national pros
perity in all governments of the world
that the leading nations of Europe
have added a primary course in agri-
culture TO the common school curri
culum. If it accomplishes no other
good it will inspire attention to the
benefits of farm life as a vocation to
many who are pre- -eminently adapted
TO the profession. 1t gives every boy a
chance to see the advantages of hus.
bandry and an opportunity to decide to
follow agriculture or some other pro.
fession. To one who is adapted to
agriculture husbandry is the most ex.
allied and Independent of the profes-
sions, but to one with innate talents
for some other vocation farming will
prove a Enthusiastically Farmer.

Cattle short, Meat Up.

The report comes from Chicago that
dearth of shipments of the prime grade
of cattle is responsible for the advance
on meats, according TO the packers.
Tley assert that competition for the
choice cuts is stronger now than before

pork have been soaring upward in price

quoted at 13 cents pound TO the
wholesaler, chicken is cheaper than
lamb or mutton chops.
George Duddleston, Il veteran whole
sale dealer in the meat business in
Chicago since 1870, says this is the first
time sheep have been quoted at 13

and mutton was from 8 TO cents. and
pork was increased . cents a pound.

1T is an interesting sight to see a

chanting of the Koran was quite au-

times and cried Allah. Allah. Allah !,

Profit I'm PouiLry.

One farmer down East, in order to
find out where the leaks and where the
gains were, kept an exact account with
eFery department of his farm. He dis
covered that he was losing money on
his beef cattle. that hogs just paid for
themselves, that sheep were good il
his lambs came early, and that the
poultry made the largest per cent Of
profit of any feature of his farm. The
result was that he quit fooling with
beef and hogs and put more money and
time into poultry. The increased pros
perity on that farm was so marked that
he wrote out for publication his expe-
rlence.
Because hen is small and q steer
is big IS child's reason for having
contempt for the former and respect
for the latter, says Farmers Voice.

LYDIA E. PINKHHNs

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 euro
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 Z. 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 Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as tho
standard remedy for woman's ills
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. st,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
