GOOD CHANGE.
Coffee to Postum.

The large army Of persons who
have found relief from many chronic
ailments by changing from coffee to
Postum as a daily beverage, is grow
ing each day.
1t is only a simple question of try
ing it for oneself in order to know
the joy of returning health az realized
by an Ills. young lady. She writes:
Il had been a coffee drinker nearly
all my life and it affected my stomach
caused insomnia and l was seldom
without a headache. / had heard
about Postum and how beneficial it
was, so concluded to quit coffee and
try it.
II was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. My stomach has got
ten strong and 1 can eat without suf-
fering afterwards. / think my whole
system greatly benefited by Postum.
my brother also suffered from
stomach trouble while he drank cot
fee, but now, since using Postum, he
feels so much better he would not go
back to coffee for anything"

BENEFIT TO SCHOOL SYSTEM
Massachusetts,, Ohio and Indiana Lead
ers in Movement to Consolidate
Rural Institutions.

That improved roads would benefit
would seem to be no doubt. Improved
roads make it possible to consolidate
or centralize the schools and to estab-
fish graded schools in the rural dis
tricts. Such schools centrally located
will accommodate all the children
within a radius of from four to five
miles. In many communities having
the advantage of improved roads, com
modious buildings have been provided.
competent teachers have been
employed, and modern facilities for
teaching have been supplied at a mini
mum cost. For instance, since the
Improvement Of the main highways
in Durham county, North Carolina, the
number of school houses has been
reduced from IS to AZ, of which II
are graded and have two or more
rooms, and employ two or more teach
ers.
There are at the present time about
1000 consolidated rura! schools in the
United States. 1t appears that Massa.
chusetts, Ohio and Indiana have made
the greatest progress along these
lines, and it is rather significant to
note that in these states about one
third of the roads have been improved.
According to statistics of the agricul
tural department, there was expended
in 1899, $22,116 in Massachusetts ,fof
the conveyance of pupils to c~onsoli.
dated schools, but in 1903 the expendi
ture for this purpose amounted to
$292,213. In Indiana, the expenditure
for this purpose in 1904 amounted to
$4,000, while in 1908, $290,000 was
expended. This expenditure for trans
portation reflects, in a general way,
the extent and progress Of this new
educational movement. 1t must not be
understood that this is an additional
burden, as the expenditure thus made
is saved in other directions-that is,
by the decrease in the number of
schools and economy in their opera
ton.

Potash and phosphorus can be ap

Rotation is a good thing, but it can
bring in potash or phosphorus

which the land lacks.
With proper handling, the wheat
lands a be made tt produce more
than they did in their former condi-
ton; for, in addition to putting back
the fertility we can improve them by
draining, many of the wheat fields be-
ing in need of this. However, it cannot
all be done in one day. A little must
be done each year in the way Of put
ting in the fertility the crops must
have.
The benefits of rotation cannot all
be gained in a few years, but the
turning under of sod or the roots OF
leguminous plants will be a constant
method Of improving soil conditions.

Thy Il. Il. RUSHING1
The fertility of wheat land must be
kept up at any cost if it is to produce
good crops of wheat, but l am certain
that in many parts of the country the
fertility is surely declining.
| find that there are many farmers
who will not try to revise the process.
1t is not such a great task to keep up
the fertility of the wheat land if the
owner of the farm is willing to take
the information that is to be had, and
study the question in the right way for
himself.
Wheat land cannot be kept UP in
fertility if the process of wheat grow
ing every year is followed. There are
two things that must be done to build
up the fertility, or even to main
tain it.
A rotation must be established and
some fertilizer, such as potash, nitro
gen and phosphates must be applied
in some form and quantity each year.
Rotating SO as to bring in some
1eguminous crops at least every few
years, will help keep up the supply of

In addition to the 12-inch and 16-

STEEL AND THE TARIFF
JUDGE GARYs STATEMENT THAT
BUSINESS Is INJURED.
People Realizing That Corporation
Batting Can Be Carried Too Far
and That Democratic Prom
ises Are Not Fulfilled.

In a talk before the subsidiary com
panies of the United States Steel Cor
poration Judge Gary, president of the
greater corporation, declared that In
the steel business conditions during
the past three months have been
worse than they had been during any
other period for a whole decade. And
he declared it to be his personal opin-
ion that the tariff passed by the pres
ent congress is in large degree re-
sponsible for the decreased activity In
the steel and iron industries of the
United States.
Of course, talk from such a source
cuts a very small figure with this
corporation hunting administration
and the present congress. But the
people of these United States are
very plainly and apparently waking
up to the fact that corporation bait
ing is a game that can be carried too
far-that, in fact, it has already been
carried too far. AS to the Democratic
tariff, which has not yet been in eff
feet for a full year, eve the depart
mental reports show that so far from
fulfilling the inflated promises made
before its enactment, as to decreasing
the living cost, putting new life into
business and sending a prosperity
wave over the country such as had
never before been known, it has in all
these respects worked in the contrary
direction.
What Judge Gary says of the new
tariff as it concerns the steel indus
tries is true also with regard to many
other branches of manufacturing in
dustry. The reports of the department
of commerce show that for April and
May of this year, as compared with
April and May of last year, when the
Payne tariff was in effect, the sale of
foreign products in the American mar
ket increased by s57 1000, 900. During
the last fiscal year that the Payne
tariff was in effect the United States
sold abroad steel products alone tc
the value of over 100000 900. Under
the Democratic tariff the American
manufacturer apparently finds compe-
tition more difficult both in his home
market and the foreign markets.-Bal-

SIlaHn Facts

Maize when preserved as silage can
be stored much more cheaply in less
space than any other roughage. In ad-
dition, stored in this way it will keep
indefinitely, and Is always ready to
feed. Ten tons of silage occupies no
more space than one ton of hay. One
ton of hay is worth about two and a
half tons of silage.

Occasional Appearance of Infec-

Cases have been reported from two
different breeders which suggest the
occasional appearance of infectious
abortion among swine in the North
west. Evidently it is quite rare, but
may easily spread If it exists. as sus-
pected. One man reports the purchase
at a certain fair of a fall yearling gilt.
The SOW was bred, but lost her pigs
after about six weeks. She was bred
again and aborted again in a similar
period.
About six of this mans older and
better brood sows developed the same
trouble. He believed that the older
sows were infected from the boar that
had previously served the young sow
The other breeder reported a some
what similar experience. This item is
published with a view to putting
breeders on their guard against a pos
sible source of trouble.
