WHAT THE AUTO
MEANS TO FARMERS
William c. Brown Tells of His
Investigations Among
Agriculturists
By K. K. PHon7medieu

During his recent trip through the
west William c. Brown, president Of
the New York Central, spent consid-
cradle time in the farming districts.
notably in the southwestern part of
Iowa, and he was much impressed with
the hold the automobile has secured
there, and it's effect upon the roads of
that section.
1T is remarkable" he said in talk
ing of his trip. Ito notice how the
farmers are buying automobil Only
q little while ago the average western
farmer would as soon think of buying
an automobile as he would of 5hiring
the Flatiron building for COW barn.
Now, in the town of Clarinda, where /
spent some time, one of the features in
the fourth of July celebration will be a
parade in which 100 farmers Will show
their cars. In that place % men have
ordered machines which the factories
have been unable to deliver"
While | was there, a nice looking
automobile driven by farmer came up
to my place. The farmers wife was
with him. and in the tonneau were two
big cans of cream. My man introduced
him. and l asked him if he found the
automobile economical. I do said he
My place is 3 miles out, and l have
to go to town every other day with
my cream. Before l got an automobile
it took day for myself and team
of horses to make the trip. Now l am
in town in 45N minutes from the time
L n
days work and my horses are also in
condition to do whatever is required
of them. Three days work for my
self and a team of horses is thus saved
each week. In the old days. when
there was a bad slough in the road
through which a loaded wagon could
not be pulled by one team, the farmers
simply hitched on another team and
dragged it through. Now these places
are fixed up as soon as they develop.
If they can not be fixed up any other
way the farmers put bridges across
them. Otherwise they could not use
their automobiles, and they thus make
it easier and less expensive to get their
heavy trucks to market.
A law has recently been adopted in
Wisconsin providing for the use of a
g, So t fPalt e log drag d,s IN
' pn.-- ,.oE p reads: THE town
board of any town
is authorized to have earth roads
dragged with a split log drag or other
drag of similar nature at all seasons of
the year whenever they may deem it
beneficial to have such work done and
may contract, a preference being given
to adjoining land owners or tenants
to have a given piece of road dragged
at a rate to to exceed rs cents per
mile for each time dragged. provided
that the width required by the highw =
commissioners to be dragged shall not
be less than 20 feet, if the width of
the roadway will permit; provided also
that the dragging is done as nearI-- as
practicable in accordance with the in
structions of the town board" The
law also makes 1t unlawful for any
person or persons to place loose earth,
weeds or sods on dragged road to
interfere with the free flow of water
from the dragged portions of the high
way.

Her Answer.

An Atchison girl had a proposal of
marriage Sunday night and asked
week to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One, who used
to be belle, had three children, did all
her own work and hadn't been to the
theater or out riding since she was
married. Another, whose husband was
a promising young man at the time
she was married was supporting
him. A third didn't dare say
her life was her own when her hus-
band was around, and fourth was di-
vorced. After visiting them and hear
ing their woes, the heroine of this lit
tie tale went home, got pen, ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the
young man. You may think it was re-
fusing him, but 1t wasn't. She said
she could be ready in month.-Atch-

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Riqht.

The food experience of a physician
In his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
ishment the worst way is valuable:
IAN attack of grip, so severe it came
near making an end of me, left nv
stomach in such condition could not
retain any ordinary food. 1 knew of
course that 1 must have food nourish-
ment or l could never recover.
L began to take four tablespoonful
OF Grape-Nuts and cream three times
day and for weeks this was almost
my only food; it tasted so delicious
that 1 enjoyed it immensely and nv
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing I
was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is OF great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
lacks in which the stomach is so de-
ranged it cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
Il am convinced that were Grape
Nuts more widely used by physicians.
1t would save many lives that are 9TH
erwise lost from lack of nourishment."
Absolutely the most perfect food in
the world. Trial Of Grape-Nuts 10 days
proves. There's a Reason"

NO NEED TO TAKE CHANCES
There Is Sure Way of Knowing Good
Paint Material.

There is really no need whatever for
any property owner to take chances in
the selection of his paint materials.
1t doesn't cost a cent to learn how to
be on the safe side. Certainly every
property owner has enough at stake to
find this out.
A complete painting guide, known as
Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 40,
can be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building,
New York. This company is the largest
maker of pure white lead in the world.
Its Dutch Boy Painter trademark
Is famous as guarantee of purity and
quality. The outfit includes a book
of color schemes, for either interior or
exterior painting, book of specifica-
tions, and simple little instrument,
with directions for testing the purity
of paint materials.

GEN. BOOTH ON EIGHTIETH
BIRTHDAY STARTS NEW PLAN
Veteran Founder of Salvation Army Launches
Scheme for University of Humanity" in the
United States---All the World Celebrates
Anniversary of His Birth.

Some of the departments of its
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
Inebriates homes, Boys and Girls
homes, Farm colonies, Emigration
Naval and Military homes, Maternity
homes, nursing, Samaritan brigades
hospital and benevolent visitation, po-
lice court work and Indian school
training
No other religious organization in
the worlds history has branched out
into so many departments of philan-
thropic effort and absorbed them as
part of its religious duties.
Need of Trained Workers,
The scheme for University of HUI.
mainly grew naturally out of the de.
velopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With a field as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
of workers that can be secured and
it's effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness of these workers. AS
uplift work has grown from local eff
forts to help few into a great in
elusive movement which must miss
none, the proble"'s of organization
have grown greater. Charity has he.
come science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
of personal qualities of insight and
altruism. There is thus pressing need
for workers of quite exceptional anal
ification. These qualifications must
first of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and sne.
cial training.
This is the new work planned by
! Gen. Booth. Those women. for in.
stance, who are to go among the
slums of the big cities must not only
have the desire to help but must know
how real helpfulDess can best be Sc
cured. They must understand by a
study of practical sociology some
| thing of the social forces that create
| this poverty and crime and wretcbed
| ness. They must understand the dan
| ger of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
| the value of better living conditions
in raising the moral courage of those
to whom fate has been unkind. The,
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to impar
their knowledge and to inspire will
a desire for betterment.
Value of the Organization.
This will be but small part of tn,
university's training in social seryic,
as planned by the patriarchaI eyangel
list, but 1t serves to show of wba
value such an organization will be.
OF the generals plan for the mi
versity he himself said recently: &c
want to train men and women to dea
with misfortune. 1 want them in
structed to combat with the weak
nesses and sins of the drunkard tn,
criminal, the pauper and the would be
suicide"
At so years of age the head of tn,

century of almost unceasing activity
is as vigorous and untiring as at an,

New York-Gen. William Booth.
founder and commander-in-chief of the
Salvation Army, celebrated his eight
ieth birthday on Saturday, April 10,
and the event was made the occasion
of rejoicing all over the civilized
world. The Army itself held big meet
ings in every city and town where it
is established, and these were partici-
pated in by hundreds of thousands of
other citizens who were glad to do
honor to the distinguished philan-
thropist.
Gen. Booth himself presided over
several monster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
fact that he was operated on recently
for cataract did not deter him from
taking part in the celebrations held by
his devoted soldiers.
University Of Humanity Launched.
In America the day was marked
especially by the launching of another
of Gen. Booths original schemes for
social reform in the United States
At every post of the army was an
nounced the beginning of work to
found a University of Humanity. a
great institution for the training of
workers in social service. The uni
versity will be divided between New
York and Chicago, and it Is expected
to begin with fund of 81 Loco, 900. The
gathering of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in
commemoration of its famous leaders
completion of his eightieth year.
AS much-needed stone in the great
organizational structure that William
Booth has been building during the
past AZ years, this idea of a school
for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew.
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he has Just
consented to the beginning of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth of Great System.
1t is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma.
chinery of civilization for the uplift
ing of the submerged tenth, the vast
system of charities now so essential
part of modern life, is to a very
large extent an outgrowth of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could best be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be
fore they could be prepared to begir
the cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success of this now familiar
principle of so-called missionary
work"
This whole plan of campaign FOL
raising the fallen began on a very
simple scale in the poverty-stricker
and crime-infested East end of Lon
don and under the impetus OF William
Booths singular force of mind ant
personality and the momentum that Il
has gathered with almost mirarulou.
rapidity it has developed into a truly
astonishing organization.

FOR THEIR TRAINED ANIMALS

For many seasons now, Norris &
Rowe have been noted for the excel

when the show exhibits here this
year, it will be found that they have
not neglected this interesting feature
with their all new big shows. The
novelties include a troupe Of fierce
Russian bears In such acts as box
ing bouts, wrestling, dancing, playing
see-saw and juggling globes while
lying prone upon their backs. Two
tiny cub lions go through various
stunts in much the rume manner as
dogs.
The show carries a larger herd Of
trained elephants than last year and
these big pachyderms are unusually in
telligent There is a magnificent
troupe Of well educated dogs and
pure white Shetland ponies that will
make the children sit up and take
notice; the congress Of trained sea-
lions will show what can be accom-
plished by patience and kindness; the

feature. Then there are riding acts

Owing to the excessive rainfall OF
winter and the heavy weed growth
of early spring, fall sowing of al
falfa has not proved as successful as
spring sowing. The ground should be
plowed deeply in the fall If possible,
manured and replowed early in the
spring. Where plowed rather late in
the spring, the land should be disced
and narrowed before plowing. II the
soil is in the least sour, from 1000
TO 5000 pounds Of unburned lime
ground or in the lump-should be ap-
piled very early in the spring, or in
place of this. from 500 TO 1000
pounds of water slaked lime may be
sown about April first. After the
spring plowing the ground should be
frequently narrowed to get rid of the
weeds, conserve the moisture, and
bring the seed bed into a uniformly
fine state of tilth.
The seed should be sown from
April 90 to May 1. Just preceding
the sowing the land should be inocu-
lated with the alfalfa bacteria by
scattering over the seed bed about
200 pounds per acre of soil taken
from the surface foot Of an old alfat
IA field This alfalfa soil should be
mixed with about 400 pounds of tn,
surface soil of the new field to ia
cilitate its even sowing. To avoid ex-
posing the inoculated soil to the
sunshine which Injuries it, it should
be sown on a cloudy day or towards
evening and Immediately narrowed
in.
Z If an acre be once successfully in
oculated. the next year it will fur
nish a soil supply for inoculating
other lands. No faith should be
placed in inoculating the soil through
the purchase Of inoculated seed as un-
der ordinary conditions, this method
Is seldom successful.
Sow 90 Pounds to the Acre.
Immediately following incubation
the seed should be sown at the rate
of twenty pounds er acre, care being
taken to secure pure seed of good
terminating qualities. termination
may readily be tested by placing an
average of 200 of the seed between
moist blotting paper, laid between
the faces of two dinner plates and
pouring a little water in the lower
plate from time to time.
The seed may be broadcasted and
narrowed in, but a more even and
vigorous stand is secured, especially
If the surface soil is a little dry, by
drilling the seed in about Y inches
deep, drilling one half of the seed at
a time, crosswise. The ordinary grain
drill may be used with the grass seed
er attached so connected as to deliv-
er the seed into the grain tubes. Fol-
lowing the seeding the ground should
be rolled well and then very lightly
narrowed. The seed should always be
sown alone without a nurse crop Of
any kind.
