EDUCATED FARMERS.
Railroad King Says United States Can
Never Have OversuppIy of Them.


Never Have Oversupply of Them.
Few men in the world know more
about farming as a wealth producer
than does James ]. Hill, the railroad
king; hence this extract from an arti-
Gle of his in the Yale (college) News Is
well worth perusaL
1T seems probable to me-" writes
Mr.. Hill, that there are good many
hundred university graduates in this
country every year who would be bet
ter off if they had shaped their studies
with view to agricultural industry
and taken their diploma straight to the
farm.
There is not and never will be any
oversupply of educated farmers.
AT the same time the man with a
university education. supplemented by
just such practical instruction as he
would feel essential to any other occu-
patton, IS certain Of success on the
farm in proportion to his ability and
Industry.
II do not think of any other occupa-
ton Of which these sweeping asser.
lions can be made. | do not know of
any in which it is more possible to con-
t1nue in connection with the main
business of earning a living than en-
richment and enlargement of the mind,
which is the best gift of university
life and its proper though seldom real
lied continuation after the university
has been left behind.
Except for those who have made
the acquisition of wealth and power
their definite aim in life 1 think the
farm offers advantages superior to
those Of business or the professions"

MAIL POUCHES.
They Cost From a Few Cents to Tnou-
sands of Dollars Each.

They Cost From a Few Cents to nou.
sands of Dollars Each.
Uncle Sam has twentyeight differ
ent kinds of mail bags in service, and
they range in cost from % cents to
$2.156 each. There are mail pouches
for almost every conceivable use, and
you can ship almost anything that
comes within the postal regulations
with a minimum of loss and breakage,
says Harper's Weekly. Probably the
most peculiar mail bag is the one ar
ranged for carrying bees. Sending
bees by mail was q difficult operation
before the bee bag" was adopted.
Usually the bees arrived at their deS
tination dead or so exhausted that
they were of little use. Now these
little honey makers can be shipped by
mail several thousand miles in the
bee bag without suffering and can
obtain air and good supply of food
during their transit.
Mail bags are made of various mate
rails. The cheapest are of cotton and
the most costly of leather. Those used
metal so that they can be flung from
fast moving trains without damage.
Even then these bags, or catcher
pouches" do not last much more than
a year and a half. while some of the
cotton bags used for the work will re-
main in service upward of ten years.
In parts of the west. where the mail
must be carried for many miles on
horseback, special pouches are in use
for singing over the animals TANKS.
In the far frozen north special bags
are made for sled transportation, and
In the cities a bag in use for pneu-
matte tube service is made Of COM
position called "leatheroid." The or
binary cotton mail bags are woven so
closely that they are practically wa
terproOf, and in the weave there are
thirteen stripes of blue. Each country
marks its own mail pouches in some
individual way. so that if one gets
lost in a far country it's ownership
can be readily detected.
Nearly 65,OOO,OOO mail bags are used
each year by the whole country, and
as they are being worn out all the
time the supply has to be kept up.
There are mail bag hospitals. where
tens of thousands of them go every
week. One such mail bag hospital re-
pairs upward of 5000 a day. These
crippled bags are in all sorts of dilap-
idated conditions. A railroad wreck
may injure several hundreds or thou
sands, and these must all go to the
hospital before entering active life
again. Christmas is responsible for
much damage to the mail bags. owing
to the hard service they get. and i'm
mediately after the midwinter holiday
season several hundred thousand bags
go to the hospitals.
Mail bags are the most Travelled of all
articles in use today. They are con-
stantly moving. and it would be i'm
possible to estimate the number of
miles a bag ten years old has trav-
eled.

Orchard and Garden.

Don't sell all the good fruit Keep
Ing is too good for "our folks"
The best remedy for pear and apple
blight Is to cut out and burn the af
fected twigs as fast as they appear.
Few persons realize to what extent
fungous troubles are robbing the fruit
grower and farmer of the profits of
his labor. Spray.
In the absence Of a heavy fruit yield
in the peach orchard pruning should be
done to insure new growth Of wood
for future fruiting.
Remember that there Is no fertilizer
for the garden that compares with
we'll rotted barnyard manure. AppIi-
cation may be made any time during
the fall. even If the ground is not to be
plowed until late.
All flowers are kept In bloom much
longer and the flowers are larger If
not allowed to form seeds. Pinch off
every flower as soon as 1t begins to
fade. This is especially true Of sweet
peas and pansies.

Every garbage can and swill barrel
can be converted into a fly trap if the
device invented by DIR. Clifton F..
Hodge Of Clark university biological
department be adopted.
The can or barrel is fitted with a
loose cover which permits the flies to
enter. At the top of the cover Is an
opening leading to a wire screen fly
trap, and it is a peculiar fact that
most Of the flies entering the can in
search of food will choose to make
their exit at the top of the can and
thus go to their death in the trap.
This method is not patented and
therefore may be used by everybody.
