pairing to present a loving cup to Mr..
Fairbanks before he retires, and that
is very unusual incident I do not
remember that it has ever occurred
before. The last act of business in
the United States senate on the 4th OF
March, just, before the clock strikes II,
on Inauguration years, is the consid-
Grafton of a formal resolution offered
by the leader of the minority thanking
the vice president for his impartiality
and courtesy as a presiding officer, and
it is adopted by a unanimous vote. The
retiring vice president then delivers
his farewell address and introduces his
successor. who takes the oath OF Of
flee and delivers his inaugural. These
proceedings will be attended with more
genuine sentiment the next 4th OF
March than ever before, and Mr.. Fair
banks will leave the chair with rec
ord for punctuality and attendance
that has never been reached by any
of his predecessors. and without the
slightest i'll feeling from any member
or official or employe of congress.

Rural Mail Carriers Have
Heaviest Demands for One
Cent Stamps.
LAST YEAR MARKS CHANGE
FORMERLY THE COUNTRY POST
MAN CARRIED ONLY STAMPS
OF THE TWO ceMT oENoMiNA-
TloN-DjFFERENT NOW.

The postal card craze has been ev-
ident in Richmond during the past
year, as is shown by the increased
sale on one-cent stamps, which in
1908 was very near double that of
the year preceding.
The post cards are used now for
every conceivable purpose. Even on
the most grotesque kinds there is
space enough for short message and
they are used for anything that is not
OF such a private nature it must be
enclosed in an envelope. Love mes
sages, death announcements, business
calls, invitations and all kinds OF
messages go on these cards and thou
sands Of them are bought to send to
friends just as keepsakes. At first the
post office department frowned on the
business, but in spite of restrictions
the business grew and now it is such
a we'll recognized source of income
that the department is encouraging
It.
The souvenir post card craze has
taken the country as forcefully as It
has permeated every tissue of the
cities and every mail carrier in
Wayne county will tell just how thor
oughly it has done it.
"A few years ago it was practical
~ useless for us to take the one-cent
stamps with us over our routes" said
one carrier out of Richmond a few
days ago. Everyone bought twos
and it was only very rarely that we
had a call for ones But now that is
changed" he continued, land now,
instead Of rarely having a call for one
cent values, at least half of the calls
are for that denomination and we sell
as many ones as twos."

FARM, ORCHARD
AND GARDEN

The members of western state
board of health. realizing the fearful
aid which i'll ventilated sleeping rooms
and impure air are in the contraction
of colds and the aggravation Of minor
pulmonary complaints and the dread
tuberculosis. have issued a warning to
the residents Of their state against
the all too prevalent practice of plac-
ing tight storm sashes on the windows
Of sleeping rooms. The circular they
have issued states that at least one
window in each sleeping room should
be left open part way at night. so that
when the body is at rest 1t may be
recuperated by the breathing of pure
and life sustaining fresh air. The
point made by this board Of health Is
well taken and should be pondered
thoughtfully by folks everywhere.

The cement age in which we are
said to have entered, made necessary
by the wanton and ruthless destruc-
ton Of our splendid forests. is fraught
with conditions for those engaged In
the industry that are in marked con-
trast to those under which the pioneer
woodsman worked and lived. In the
latter case 4 fine physical health was
the natural result Of vigorous exercise
and the breathing Of unlimited fresh
air as he felled the forest giants from
which to erect his dwelling or furnish
fuel with which to heat 1t. In tho
former instance the employees Of the
big cement mills merely oil and tend
the vast machinery that reduces clay
and limestone to that which must
supply the lack Of forest trees. getting
little exercise and breathing dust and
death laden air. In every such plant

and lifeless eyes. listlessly yet care

light is obscured and the life limit
shortened by an ever present dust that
marks the EMBELLISHMENTS and also
che cost Of the cement age.

A bright south central Nebraska
farmer with whom we talked the other
day cited a fact which in his opinion
farmers of that section ought to take
into account more than they domaine
~. that while the application Of ma
nure to Nebraska soils twenty five
years ago was without doubt a posi-
tive detriment. especially in the grow
Ing Of wheat. so much humus and fer
tility have been removed in the inter
gal in shape Of raw grain crops and the
burning of the stubble that the use of
1t today applied thinly with a spreader
has directly opposite effect. He stat
ed that few in his locality were
awaking to the Importance Of the
fact referred to and were working into
q dairy type or stock feeding Of agri.
culture. so that they might increase
the supply Of fertilizer available for
the land. The trend he speaks of is
significant and will mean much for the
farmers Of his own state and others
similarly situated.

D. L. Brainerd. Last spring each pupil
who was willing received pint Of
tested seed corn from the superintend-
ent. This was planted and tended ac-
cordinG TO directions. each boy select
ing the ten ears from his experimental

To add interest to the project and to
enhance its educational value substan-
tial prizes were offered to the pupils
showing the best ears of corn and who
also gave the best answers to list of
questions bearing on their work and
writing the best essay on the corn
plant and its value. This mag seem
like a very simple step along the line
Of securing a study OF agriculture in
the public schools. but 1t Is a upst i'm

It Is seldom that q wire milk strainer
will remove all the foreign matter
from a pail Of milk. On this account
at least two thicknesses of a close
meshed cotton cloth should be placed
over the strainer, when many fine par

When the milk is strained the cloth
as well as the pail should be thorough
