Good Suggestions.

Now that it is a settled fact that we
are to have an up-to-date experimental
farm for fruit, corn and other similar
crops, would it be asking too much of DR..
Wood, the director of the Maine Station,
who is, as we understand it, to have en-
tire charge of the work there, if he will
give us an expert or number of them, if
necessary, to take up not only the proper
handling of fruit trees and orchards, but
the cultivation of that wonderful crop,
alfalfa, and that marvel Of all crops,
yellow corn We want some one who
will make demonstration of these crops
right in the dirt, so we can run down and
observe them as they pass from one stage
of development to another, and in that
way, perhaps, we may learn how to do it
ourselves. Does DR.. Wood realize what it
would mean to Maine agriculture if we
could solve the mystery of alfalfa and
corn growing? not to speak of practical
knowledge Of orcharding as it is conduc-
ted in the far west, and even in frozen
Canada? We hope he does, and if he
does the purchase of this new farm with
all it's possibilities simply means millions
to Maine agriculture. Turf, Farm and
Home.

THE JOYS OF FARM LIFE.

People talk about the drudgery of farm
life. | do not want to paint it with a
deceptive rose color. There is plenty OF
hard work on farm. But then it is sc
interesting! Here, just as with any
other kind of work, it is immensely i'm
portant to plan your work intelligently,
says writer in The New Idea Woman s
Magazine. When the hard special tasks
come along, the spring planting, the hay
ing, and harvesting, and threshing, and
butchering, and getting in ice, it is posi-
BILE to approach them in such way that
the household feels each one almost as a
festival. We all work hard at these
times, but we enjoy them.
Although we are SO busy, William and
| try not to be too absorbed to heed the
beauty on all sides of US. We think that
our little farm has particularly fair
outlook upon rolling fields and woodlands,
our little brook, far rampant OF blue
mountains, but nature everywhere, in
every season, is beautiful and refreshing.
We feel that we and our children ought
to be better and happier for this constant
influence of beauty.
Ours is the really simplelife. We are
kept close to the great simple facts of
life and growth. Ali the forces of physical
science are at work in our little farm.
We can succeed only by obedience to the
laws of nature. Thus one may learn
serene docility. On the farm our wants
remain simple. They spring from our
real needs. They are not created by gaz-
ing generously upon the possessions of
others. No occupation can make bet
ter use than farming Of trained intelIi-
gence, or of greater variety of inform
alton. Everything | ever learned has
been Of use here. The constant variety
of task is what makes farm work so in
teresting The seasons and the condi-
tons are constantly changing, and the
farmers tasks with them. When peo-
pie talk about the dullness and monotony
of farm life, simply can not understand
what they mean.
The farm is the best possible school
for developing individuality. 1t calls
continually for all the initiative and ingen-
uity and resourcefulness that you can
possibly muster. One of its great re-
wards is a joyous sense of power 1t is a
delight to feel yourself developing, and
creating, and getting all that you posi-
ably can out of your own little portion of
good old Mother Earth.

RELATION BETWEEN
BLOOD AND NERVES
SHOWING WHY NERVOUS PEOPLE
ARE PALE PEOPLE.
Also How a Medicine That Makes
Rich, Red Blood Can Perform
Wonders as Nerve Tonic.

Why are nervous people invariably
pale people? The answer to that cues
ton explains why a remedy that acts on
the blood can cure nervous troubles It
explains why DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are also for nervous
people
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red oorpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The ner-
vous system receives its nourishment as
well as its medicine through the blood
Let the blood become thin, weak and
colorless and the nerves are starved-the
victim is started on the road that leads
to nervous wreck. Nervous people are
pale people-but the pallor comes first
Enrich the blood and the nerves are
stimulated and toned up to do their part
of the work of the body.
Proof OF this appears in the statement
OF Mrs. William L. Powers, of R. F. D.
No. IA, Gardiner, Me-, who says:
81 can highly recommend DR. Will
liams' Pink Pills as they cured me after
had been sick with nervous prostration
for five years. I had been treated by
three doctors but they did not do me any
good and upon the advice of neighbor
l began taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

The Youngest Union Soldier.

C. Perry Byam, writing in the issue of
Harper's Weekly for June 18th, describes
his experiences as the youngest Union
soldier during the Civil War He enlist
ed in August, 1862, at the age of nine
years and ten months and, after years
service as a drummer, was honorablv
discharged on account of i'll health Many
and varied were his experiences. The
lack of clothing was serious difficulty.
'The smallest military cap was the only
article that fitted me perfectly" he
writes. 81 wore number thirteen shoe
Tin children's Sizes, and any garment is
sued by the government contained mater
ial sufficient for several of me. All for
aging parties were strictly enjoined to
look out for wearing apparel for me, es-
pecially Shoes His last exploit was
the premature entering of Vicksburg,
when he was captured by the Confeder-
ates one hour before the surrender of that
city.

Rhyme on Marriage Month.

"Marry when the year is new,
Always loving, kind and true;
When February birds do mate,
You may wed, nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow,
Joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man.
Marry in the month of May,
You will surely rue the day.
Marry when June roses blow,
Over land and sea you'll go.
They who in July do wed,
Must labor always for their bread.
Whoever wed in August be,
Many changes are sure to see.
Marry in September's shine,
Your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry,
Love will come, but riches tarry.
If you wed in bleak November,
Only Joy will come, remember.
When DEFENDERS SHOWS fall fast,
Marry and true love will last"

AFTER THE RURAL ROUTES.
Inspector for State Of Kansas Will
Arrive this Month.

The inspectors of the rural routes
who left Washington several months
ago, are leaving a trail that will long
be remembered by many who have
been getting tbeil mail on the routes.
The inspectors arrived in Indiana
several weeks ago, and the work they
did in that state has changed the
general appearance Of things in the
way the roads were kept up. In a
number of counties the roads were
found to be in bad shape and the
routes we're ordered discontinued for
period of 80 days, in which time
the road bosses were instructed to
have them in shape or they would be
discontinued for good, In one county
the inspectors ordered several routes
cut out entirely, and 1t will take
much work and wire pulling to get
them reinstated, even after the roads
are put in shape.
Down in old Missouri the inspec-
tors found things to be in good
shape, the natives having heard what
was being done east, and it is doubt
full If the inspectors will find much
room for complaint in ire Sunflower
state when they arrive. The great
est convenience the farmers have to-
day is the rural route, and Uncle
Sam intends to have the mail car
ried over good roads or not at all.
1t is said that the new official who
will be in charge of the rural route
department made the ruling when he
first took his new office that inspec-
tors should have territories and COW
err them regularly, and il the reports
sent in by the carriers indicated the
road to be kept In bad shape they |
should be inspected at once.

such an extent that the water was
from eighteen to twenty inches high
err on the upstream side than on the
lower side. A large amount of money
was spent in this movement only to
find that 1t impeded the flow of the
water to such an extent that the last
condition, If possible, is worse than
the first. What would have happen
ed had the same grade been built
five, ten, twenty or hundred feet
higher, provided it was strong
enough to withhold the force of the
water pressure? It seems plain that
it simply would have created great
reservoir on the upstream side and
that ultimately the water level would
have reached the top of the grade
Just the same as it did before the
last Improvements. The great mis-
take was made by not providing suit
able outlets for the water to get
away.
The engineers evidently thought
they did, forgetting apparently that
the entire valley in 1903 was neces-
sary for the current. 1t seems almost
madness to assume that in times of
a like flood a runway one tenth, or
one twentieth the width of the val
ley was sufficient to let the water
pass.
