The latest addition to the Back to
Farm Propaganda is booklet entitled
Facts for Farmer, To the Farmer,
By Farmer, For the Farmer pub
lished by the Lackawanna railroad
from its offices at NO. 80 West street,
New York city.
The free distribution of this booklet
is another evidence Of the general in
terest being taken by the railroads OF
this country in the agricultural ques-
ton.
The Lackawanna has joined the
movement for the education of farm
ers living in the territory contiguous
to its right of way, and expects to de-
velop for demonstration purposes model
farms in order to show farmers how
maximum crops may be produced. 1t
plans to have the farms in locations
convenient to students and farmers,
where they may see the application OF
scientific knowledge Of the raising OF
crops. The handling of dairy products
will also be feature of the expert
ment.
The booklet In question is written
by Dewitt Carpenter, practical and
successful farmer <of Homer, N. Y,
and on it's title page bears a letter Of
endorsement of H. j Webber, acting
director of the New York state college
Of agriculture, Cornell university,
Ithaca, N. Y. 1t is not only exceed
ingly practical but the sympathetic
way in which the matter is present ID
is both interesting and refreshing. 1t
is evidently the product of many years
of thoughtful consideration and study
by practical working farmer. BY its
briefness and direct simplicity, it, in a
measure, takes the place of slower
educational proce ses and with its
large circulation should be Of decided
value to the farmers of this country.
In an easy and popular manner, the
author explains to the farmer the sig
nifcance and practical application of
the recent brilliant discoveries in the
agricultural world.
The old query as to why crop Of
clover should enrich the land, finds its
answer in the discovery that bacteria
is a source of nitrogen and that clover
and other leguminuous plants possess
the mysterious power of extracting
from the air and of storing In little
pockets on their roots, this great es-
sential to all plant growth.
| Many farmers may be surprised TO
learn that the main object In "hoeing
potatoes " Is not ID kill the weeds, al
though their destruction it one of the
minor benefcient results Of the opera
ton. Mr.. Carpenter explains how the
stirring of the soil forms a dust
mulch, " the prime object Of which is
to prevent the moisture from beneath
escaping to the surface and air by
capilIarity.
In an equally practical and interest
ing way, the author discusses the queS.
tions OF humus, liquid fertilizers, alb
S0rbents, ETC., in the light OF recent
agricultural discoyeries and their ap.
lplication to run down farms.

Thousands Of gallons Of the L. & M. Paint

Only chemically pure color is used. The
actual cost of L. & M. is only about ST.. 80

you depend upon this product, or a paint

one of the largest, veritahle mon
ster, so tame that 1t would coil about
his body aud remain in any desired
position Then he made human face
for it out of linen, painted 1t ingen
iously and shapd 1t so that the mouth
would open and shut by an arrange
ment of norse-air, letting the forked
tongue shoot in and out at the will Of
the monster. Having no further use
for Coconnas he either administered
poison to him or let him die from
some infection and returned with his
snake to his native town. There he
declared himself prophet and an
nounced that the god Aesculapius was
about to appear. The people were
credulous, excitable and eager for o
new divinity.
When the great day arrived Alexan
der pretended to discover in a puddle
Of water goose egg, which he had
placed there after removing the con-
tents, substituting small embryo
snake just born and carefully sealing
the shell with wake When the mul-
titude had gathered he broke the she'll
and produced the tiny creature, which
in few moments grew to be the
monster from Pella by the simple pro-
cess of substitution. Thereafter the
big snake, believed to be Aesculapius,
led busy life. He gave seances, told
fortunes in writing and even spoke
freely, with the aid OF the prophets
ventriloquial powers. Alexander grew
rich and powerful, kept small army
of retainers and spies, welded no lit
tie influence over the government ev-
en- at Rome, and died at ripe old
age in the fullness of his renown.
What became of the snake nobody
knows. Probably at the last the pro
| phet dispatched the falChful cerature
to prevent the discovery of his de.
ception after his death.

A WAITER AT $1oo A WEEK

The revelation in New York di-
vorce suit, the other day, that the
defendant, waiter at the Waldorf
Astoria, receives tips to the amount
Of 500 week may nelp to explain
the cost of high living in New York.
The further intimation that this wait.
er Is only second-class receiver of
tips and that there are men in that
humble calling who have a revenue of
$4,000 year is calculated, still fur
ther to open the eyes of the general
public to the value of humility as a
virtue. Here is a man who hands you
your bill of fare, listens attentively
while you give your order, walks to
the serving room and brings back your
dinner which he spreads with GER
tain art and in prescribed order be-
fore you, stands at the back of your
chair while you eat, picks up your nap
kin when 1t falls to the floor, keeps
your glass full of water, brins you an
extra cup of coffee and, when you have
finished, takes the coin or the bill
from your hand or from under the nap
kin with an adroitness that puts your
own clumsiness to shame. He is a
great man and you want him to think
you greater; so you tip him SO gen.
erously that he has an income greater
than q college president or railway
corporation treasurer.
1t is great game and many there
be that play itwith varying results, but
most Of them to greater financial
advantage than the service justifles.
Most men do not give excessive tips
because they love the waiter, but be-
cause they love themselves and fear
they will be estimated at something
less than other men. A man in any
other relation in life who would rem
der them similar service they would
compensate at the rate of ten cents
an hour and would be just at that.
But tip-giving in the swell places OF
earth is fools competition and the
waiter Is the beneficiary.

TO CUR7AIL
Power OF Making Repairs To The
Public Reads

A bill will be introduced by Rep
resentative Russell of Wayne county
to cut short a peculiar system of
grating from the state by counties
and townships, which has crippled
the states efforts towards encourage
ing scientific road building. The
bill would amend present laws grant,
ing state aid In building highways.
The original bill provides that the
state aid may also be used for repair
ing highways. Thrifty county COM
missioners and township trustees
have applied the state money to re-
pairs which should have been met
from local funds and have decreased
their local taxes just that much.
Out of the $S25.O0O paid by the
state to aid road construction, less
than 100000 has been used for con-
struction while nearly $625,O0O mas
been used for repairs.
