The United States government maintains a curious little force of policemen who do not patrol posts in the cities or towns, but may well be called the guardians of the wilderness, for It is their business to look after vast forests where few human beings live. It may seem odd that it is necessary to have nature's police to go here and there in the forests and amid the mountains, but It is very necessary In order to protect one of the crest resources of America. Some of these rangers of the wild hare "beats" so extensive that one man may be the sole protector, of a miniature empire, comprising 20X000 acres of primeval forest. Wide World Magazine.

He stopped work and searched until night, but failed to find the money. He prayed the entire night and the following morning he renewed the search. A half hour afterward he found the money between two rows of corn stalks.

LARGE NUMBER OF TEACHERS TO GO Annual Convention to Be Held In Indianapolis. Local school teachers will be represented by a large delegation at the annual state convention, which will be held at Indianapolis December 29. Thjr is a largo number of the local teachers who are members of the association. The program for this year is said to be the best that ever has been prepared for the occasion. ORIENTAL COURTESY.' kn Incident In Which Miss Anna Dickinson Figured. Miss Anna Dickinson traveled everywhere independently aud saw human nature in all of its lairs. Writing to a woman friend once, she described a reception given by wealthy Chinamen in a restaurant kept by Chi Lung in San Francisco, and she was the guest of houor. She said that she saw a servant coming toward her with a box divided into many compartments, with different kinds of nuts and candies in the smaller trays. She picked out half a dozen or more and laid them on the arm of the chair, which served as a table. As the attendant passed on to others she saw that each took only one bonbon, and she was much embarrassed, i But when the servant approached the chief Chinaman, the one who had originated the reception, he took a large handful, and those after him did the same, and then Miss Dickinson felt relieved. She wrote: "After I learned that I must have shocked all of those educated, cultured Chinamen as much as you or I should have been shocked if we had invited a Chinaman whom we respected to dine with us and he bad taken a whole fried chicken and torn it limb from limb at our table. In such an event would you or I have had the tact and courtesy to have taken other chickens and thus dismembered them?" RUSSIAN WOMEN. The Many Restrictions to Which They Are ti(if Subjected. It is difficult for an American to understand that freedom as we know it does not exist iu Russia. There the legal position of woman is far from satisfactory. She hardly ever belongs to herself, but is always under the tutelage of some one. As a daughter the Russian woman is under the entire control of her parents. Her coming of age does not alter her position. She simply changes the authority of her parents for the no less rigid authority of her husband. As the Russian statute puts it, "One person cannot reasonably be expected to fully satisfy two such unlimited powers as that of husband aud parent." The unlimited power of the parent is withdrawn and that of the husband substituted. She cannot leave her lord even to visit a neighboring town without a "pass" from him. He names the time she is permitted to stay, and at the end of that time she is bound to return to get the pass renewed. A husband may appear in a court of law as a witness against his wife, but a wife is not allowed to appear against her husband. A woman's evidence in Russia is always regarded as of less weight than that of a man. Harper' Weekly. . The. Heavenly Bats. Mrs. Ardsley Van Twiller, hearing a great commotte-a in her drawing room, hastened in and found two maids brandishing dust cJoths aud shouting shrill contradictions at each other in front of a little copy of Raphael's cherubs.

A NEGLECTED INTEREST. x Because of the many duties Indoors and ont which take up the parents' time there is a tendency with the vast majority to pay slight heed to another Interest of equal or greater importance, the district school. Of course It Is taken for granted by school patrons, nd is in most cases true, that a competent teacher has been hired who will conduct the work in a satisfactory manner, but this notwithstanding it is better from the standpoint of teacher, pupils and patrou if the latter get into the habit when opportunity offers of visiting the schools in a helpful, friendly spirit with a view to encouraging the teacher and getting a first band knowledge of conditions which prevail there. Were this done more generally by parents many serious misunderstandings might be avoided between themselves and teachers and a spirit of co-operation developed which w-ould be beneficial from every point of view. Parents would understand better than they do the trials and vexations which the average teacher has to put up with, teachers would come to know their pupils better by being acquainted with the parents, while pupils would realize that an understanding existed between teacher and parents would make it impossible for them were they so inclined to distort Dr misrepresent incidents or conditions existing in the school. In the event that the teaebpr was seriously at fault In her methods of government or really incapable the knowledge that patrons would get from visiting the school frequently would enable them to take such action as would he just and fair to all concerned.

A COMMON AILMENT. A quite common ailment with horses which have been at hard and steady work through the summer months and of a sudden are given a spell of leisure between harvest and husking without an accompanying reduction in their food ration is a "stocking"' of the legs sometimes the front, but more commonly the hind. This seems to be due to a sort of congestion which takes place in the system, resulting in serious kidney and urinal disturbances. j In such cases about the only thing to be done is to radically change the diet, j cutting out the tame (especially clover) i hay if it has been fed and substi- . tuting bran in the place of corn, giving I laxative medicines which will tend to loosen up and clean out the system. Turning horses affected in this manner out to pasture Is an excellent idea, as they get needed exercise, which will tend to reduce the swelling of the limbs, while the grass will be an excellent corrective of Internal conditions. A bovine will suffer no ill from eating an excess of rich foods, but it is different with the horse. THE BEST REMEDY. While there is much about the subject of tuberculosis that Is not yet known, enougn nas been learned to prove beyond doubt that the malady is In many cases iuduced or aggravated by the close confinement of human beings and animals in stuffy and ill ventilated houses and stables. Fure fresh air, which may be had for the breathing, is nature's great antitoxin for pulmonary complaints, and thousands of cases of the malady have been permanently cured through the patients being in the opeu every possible moment of their waking and sleeping hours. Time was when there was a class of people who were as afraid as death of pure fresh air and would ns soon think of exposing themselves to a contagious disease as leave a wln- ; (low up iu the sleeping room. While 1 a person of this type may be found : here and there, the class is rapidly dl- ; minishlng, the fear of fresh air being ; a relic of bygone times that should be i dispensed with along with cupping, j bleeding and cauterizing with hot i irons. WINTER CHEER. The winter season is pre-eminently the period of the supremacy of the good cheer and enjoyment of the life of the family circle; hence anything that can be done to make it brighter or more wholesome' through the purchase of games, good books and magazines and music in various forms is justifiable and praiseworthy from the very highest standard of essential. It Is of infinitely more importance this making of the fireside helpful and happy for the growing boys and girls than the breeding of this or that strain of blooded stock or the mixing of balanced rations for milk and beef production. A fine home, with all its uplifting and molding Influence, is the greatest and most vital asset which this country possesses today, and for this reason everything possible should be done by all members of the home circle to make this as effective an Influence as it is possible for It to be. Good blood tells in both folks and animals, and there should be an effort to have just as much of it in both as possible. A rather strong solution of lye poured through the sink will clean the grease out of the pipes, doing the job more quickly and effectively than in any other way. That mother exhibits a standard of values badly out of whack who prays and labors for the conversion of the heathen in foreign lands, yet allows her own boys and girls to gad about the streets or neighborhood at will nights after they should be abed. A good thickness of straw scattered over the ground in the feed yard will not only prevent the making of a mire in a wet time, but will provide an absorbent for the liquid manures which would otherwise leach 'into the ground and thus be wasted. We have known of this being done In a number of cases and with very satisfactory results. The eanna bulbs should be kept in moist sand, in the cellar until the latter part ofr-Febrwary, when it-is weUK remove thecnto pots and keep themat a t rather viow temperature - for several

til within a reasonable time from transplanting, which may be done without danger from frost by the middle of May. Some one has said that genius Is onetenth inspiration and nine-tenths perspiration. This Is doubtless overdrawn, yet expresses a truth that is quite often overlooked lu our judg-

t ments in cases of success and failure, j Inquiry into the careers of men who have been successful In their callings : shows that luck and chance play an ! insignificant part, while energy and j application have been most important factors. Xot long ago some one in the employ of the agricultural department at Washington had a good word to say for the common skunk as a useful animal In nature's economy. Since then the Michigan experiment station directors have discovered that the stink bug is a very vigorous enemy of the potato larvae. In view of these discoveries there would seem to be some hope for some of the other seemingly unnecessary buss or beasts In the natural realm. Reports made public by the management show that $300,000,000 worth of diamonds have already been taken from the mines at Kimberley, South Africa, and this is thought to be only a i good beginning. The value of all of the mines of the earth pales into insignificance when compared with that of the grains, grasses, fruits and filters which are annually grown upon its surface, while those who toll in dimly lighted shafts are but a handful to those who till the soil. At intervals during the past few years reports have been given circulation by none too careful writers that samples of artificial comb honey were being offered for sale on the market here and there. With a view to offsetting the Injury which the spreading of these reports might do producers of genuine comb honey, the National Beekeepers' association has a standing offer of $1,000 which will be given to the person furnishing a single comb of artificial honey or a comb of honey which has been drained and refilled with glucose or other concoction. The burning of litter or manure In field or garden is wrong in principle in that it robs the soil of just that amount of humus or decaying vegetable matter which tends to keep it loose and in the best condition to handle. In case this supply of humus becomes deficient it means in the end a hard and resisting condition of soil that is objectionable from every point of view. On this account any plan which has in view an increasing of the supply of the soil humus is commendable. In a trip In almost any section of the country it is quite remarka, ble how many 'inferior, runty and unprepossessing sires one will see at the bead of herds of cattle, having apparently few points of merit for either beef or dairy purposes. Men whw will put up with this state of affair are not only falling down when It comes to the money end of farming, but miss the pleasure to be had ii raising a higher grade of stock. There is something radically wrong with the man who Is content to raise scrub when he could just as well raise something better. Before long it will be time to cover the tender things for winter, including the rosebushes, pansies and other i plants that may be left out of doors. In doing this the Important thing to remember is not that the covering is put on to keep things warm so much as to furnish a shade from the rays of the sun to prevent the alternate thawing and freezing which are bound to take place in the varying temperatures of the winter months. For the rosebushes' nothing Is better than laying them down and covering them with boards or an old door. If these are not available, cornstalks, leaves or other coarse litter will do. The finer It is tbe greater Is the likelihood that it may become a harbor for mkv, which may girdle the bushes if they get very hungry. While the pansies are quite hardy, it is well to give them a similar covering. Old pieces of carpet or matting may be used for this. It is said that pieces of meat placed just leneath the surface of the earth in the pot with the sword fern or palm will provide a fertilizer which is quickly utilized. There is a vast difference between a house and a home. Wall paper, carpets and furniture may be found in the former, but it takes wholesale, sincere and warm hearted folks to furnish the latter. It is not necessary to cover the strawberry bed until the ground freezes soWd the latter part of November. When this takes place it should be covered with four or five inches of clean oat straw, coarse hay or cornst? Iks. While methods mean much in achieving success in any given line. It is, after all, the personality and force of tbe man whe uses tbe method which are of most account. It Is this personal element which is often overlooked, yet which accounts for success in one instance and failure in another. Barring the purpose which a small bunch of willow trees along a fence row may serve as a shade for stock, there would seem to be mighty little excuse for this tree anywhere on the farm. It is slovenly and ungainly, harbors worms and breeds mod holes, having little to commend it either from the jot act leal ora esthetic ooiot of view. A receat order of President Roosevelt has st aside 70.W3 seres of land close to tb Oregon-CalirornU Bne as a reservation for tbe propagation and protection of native birds. This reserve is to. include all land not- suitable for agricultural purposes. The band ca prised in the order,is cossklexed?ioftbfixbe xras tssuhreediag piace,

A number of sections in the north central states that in the early days raised considerable wheat and later oats and corn are now having a measure of success in the raising of winter wheat. In spite of this fact, not much can le expected from it. as a continuance in it without the observance of a proper system of crop rotation can in the end mean cmly soil depletion and impoverishment. September of this year gave a foretaste of drought conditions which inigbt easily recur earlier in the season next year if, as some have prophesied, we are jusi entering upon a cycle of seven dry years. If this should be the case, there will be a whole lot of folks who have settled down In th buffalo grass country who will want tbe leaving for greeuer fields by tha middle of next July. It is estimated that 21.00rt.000 cow are milked dally in the United States. They yield on an average Z,Tft) poundi of milk a year, which makes the an. nual total output 70,000,10,000 pounds. Of this milk a little more than onehalf is consumed In making butter, 3.000.OO0.OOO pounds are used in making cheese. l.OO0.XK,0O0 for condensed milk, while tbe rest is sold as cream, fed to calves or drunk aa a beverage. A short time ago a Wisconsin farmer had his herd of dairy cows Infected with a serious contagious disease as a result of importing from a distance cattle which were contaminated, a fact he was not aware of until several months had elapsed. Too great care can hardly be exercised In this matter along tbe line of insisting on a guarantee that animals bought are. free from taint of disease of every, kind. One of the live problems which will come up this winter for earnest discussion by those who are interested In a conservation of our forest resources !- some more effective method of preventing and controlling the spread of forest fires, which have left hundreds of thousands of acres of forest lands bars and black and thousands of people penniless and homeless. The federal government has in force an effective system of patrols, and it would seem expedient if the same oversight could b extended to embrace all forest areas. A man can be strictly honest and yet be so mighty small and plcayunish in bis dealings with his neighbors and family that be will not' rate much higher In tbe respect of his neighbors than the boss scamp of the community. Honesty is a good desl like many of the things which we eat needs trimmings. There is a lot-of good behind the old Btbtlcal admonition as to the gospel measureliberal, generous, "pressed down and running over." Men who deal on this httsis always bave lots of friends and get good measure in return. Tbe day is fast going by when It Is held by any considerable .number ihat the dunderpate who makes a fizsle at everything else he dabbles in canachieve any great distinction as a tiller of the soIL With land values and rental rates constantly advancing, a definite as well as considerable amount of brains and' energy are needed in agricultural pursuits, and hewill achieve tbe largest measure of "success who makes the most cartful and most intelligent study of the. problems whl'bj confront him. There may be a nlcb somewhere which ft stupid and shiftless man may fill, but he should not embark In agriculture with the idea that this Is bis destined field. PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY.
