When to Send Children to Europe.

Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk well and speak few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
| time for the first night at the opera

NEW FARMING EMPIRE
Half Million Fertile Acres in New Re-
gion Added to Texas Agriculture.

By November LIST, 1909, the Wichita
Valley Railroad burlington System,
the best farm developing road in
America) will complete and commence
passenger service on its line from
Stamford to Spur, the terminal town
in Dickens County, Texas.
This town is in the center of tract
of 673 square miles of the smoothest,
most fertile virgin farm lands in Tex
as-farms in which are offered to
homeseekers at prices from $1,000 to
$3.50 per acre on easy terms-one-
fifth down, balance in six annual pay
ments. Wonderfully adapted to cot
tor-no boil weevil ever known
corn, alfalfa, grain, fruits, vegetables,
and all the products of the farm known
to this latitude. 1t is the coming hog
country, nowhere can they be ma
tured more cheaply, and cholera is alb
solutely unknown in this belt; quick
run to Fort Worth market.
Delightful climate-altitude 1000 to
$500 feet-not on the plains. Some of
the lands are covered with mesquite
trees-others are open or mixed. Deep
rich soil with great variety to char
acter-chiefiy sandy loan and choc-
olate loan with clay subsoil. Water
generally shallow. Will be sold in
quarter-sections or upward direct to
the homeseeker from owners, with no
sale commissions to load the price
to the farmers. Clear title is guaran-
teed. The great extent of this body
guarantees to the first farmers wide
range of selection to find home which
exactly suits as to lay of land and
character of soil.
Recognizing the great possibilities
and wonderful future Of Spur Farm
Lands, the State has decided to place
an experiment farm station at Spur
This will be a great benefit to the
settlers in that region-showing them
by actual demonstrations on the lands
what crops can be most probably
raised; best methods Of cultivation
and assisting in all the problems Of
the farm. This decision was reached
after visit to the lands by Judge Ed
r. Kone, Commissioner of Agriculture
and DR.. H. H. Harrington, Director Of
Experiment Stations, who recognized
their unusual farming value.

1t hardly needs saying that sick people
need quiet, but some people when they have
secured the quietest room in the house for
the patient, forget the little noises that,
almost unheard by person in health, are
sorely trying to the sensitive nerves of the
sick. Here are some of them and their
remedies:
L. Cracking windows. These may be
in the next room as well as in the sick
room. Remedy, put in wedge of wood
Soap the window cords if they are stiff.
2. Cracking locks, doors, handles. Oil
or grease them.
