Rural Mail Carriers Have Heaviest Demands for One Cent Stamps.

LAST YEAR MARKS CHANGE FORMERLY THE COUNTRY POSTMAN CARRIED ONLY STAMPS OF THE TWO CENT DENOMINATIONDIFFERENT NOW. The postal card craze has been evident 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 very conceivable purpose. Even on the most grotesque kinds there ; is space enough for a short message and they are used for anything that is not of such a private nature it must be enclosed in an envelope. Love messages, death announcements, business calls, invitations and all kinds of messages go on these cards and thousands 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 well 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 thoroughly it has done it. "A few years ago it was practically useless for us to take the one-cent stamps with us over our routes," said one vcarrier 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, "and 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."

Judge. Nervous Collapse "I have traveled for thirty years continually. I lost a great, deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling altogether. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles Nervine came to my rescue I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am particularly nervous a few doses relieve me." A. G. C. LIB BY, Wells, Me. There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous prostration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one, thing to dobuild up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. Its strengthening influence upon the nervous . system restores normal action to the organs', and when they all work in harmony, health is assured. Get - a i bottle from your druggist.

VICE PRESIDENT William E. Curtis in- the Washing ton Star, pays the following tribute to Vice President Charles warren Fairbanks of Indiana: No man ever retired from public life with a higher degree of respect and confidence or more genuine popu larity from all sorts and 'conditions of men than Charles 'Warren Falrbaks. The democratic - governor of adiana has sent a special message to a demo cratic legislature, which, by unanimous vote, hai invited, the loader of the republican party In that state to accept its coneratulations and an expression of its esteem and good will on the 8th of March next. This, I believe, is unprecedented, and is the mcre signifi cant because, of the unmistaxaDie quality of Mr. Fairbanks' republicanism and his energy and activity in the re cent campaign. But these expressions of confidence and respect are not confined to his neighbors. The democratic members of the United States senate are pre-

The members 'of a western state board of health, realizing the fearful aid which ill ventilated sleeping rooms and impure air ore 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 placing 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 it 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.

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 do namely, that while the application of manure to Nebraska soils twenty-five years ago was without doubt a positive detriment, especially In the growing of wheat, so much humus and fertility have been removed In the internal in shape of raw grain crops and the burning of the stubble that the use of It today applied thinly with a spreader has a directly opposite effect. He stated that a few In his locality were awaking to the importance of the fact referred to and were working Into a dairy type or stock feeding of agriculture, 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. The Nebraska state experiment station has conducted some valuable feeding experiments with corn and alfalfa and on two other roughage rations. It was found that with a ration consisting of 6.4 pounds of corn and 7.4 pounds of alfalfa the average cost of a pound In weight of steers was 6.5 cents, the profit on each steer fed this ration being $3.21. With a ration consisting of 6.3 pounds of corn, four pounds of alfalfa and fonr pounds of stover the cost per pound of gain was 6 cents, while the profit per animal was $3.76. In a third test 9.3 pounds of corn and 8.9 pounds of prairie hay were required to give a pound gain costing 8.5 cents, while the aver age loss In feeding the steers was 27 cents a head. With a fourth lot of steers a pound of gain costing 6.5 cents was secured from a ration of 6.S pounds of corn and 6.5 pounds of alfalfa. In this case the average profit was $5.02 per head. John's big sister should derive some consolation from the fact that, while she may have invested a considerable amount In one of those "Merry Widow" monstrosities, he may make vise of it next June as a shade for his corn plow by equipping it with center' pole and braces. If reports are to be believed, an Owatonna (Minn.) resident has earned the rather unique distinction of having raised a wheelbarrow load of coffee the past summer. The coffee plants or shrubs from which the berries were secured grew to a height of three or four feet. Whether they will live to bear a crop next season remains to be seen. It is seldom that a 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 shonld be placed over the strainer, when many fine particles of matter will be removed. When the milk is strained the cloth as well as the pail should be thoroughly washed and scalded. One of the first tests to be made with the lately discovered hog cholera vaccination serum was used with a drove of north Iowa hogs a few weeks ago and with marked success. Of the thirteen bogs affected with a bad type of cholera but two died, the remaining eleven responding to the treatment and making a rapid recovery. If the new remedy will save this per cent of hogs afflicted with the cholera scourge It will be worth millons of dollars annually to the hog raisers of the coun tryThat persuasion Is often more effec tive than force we saw nicely illustrat ed some time ago in an attempt which a number of earnest and possibly ex asperated men were making to get a horse, green at the business. Into a tread power. Palling on the halter with a half hitch, paddling with brooms and clapboards and similar means were tried without avail, until finally one who understood horse nature better than the rest and possibly bad a little more horse sense secured two or three lumps of sugar and gave the horse a taste, when he walked Into the power as if it had been an everyday occurrence. A chart which Is used In .the farm crops department of the Iowa agricultural department bears the six following rules which should be followed If one would increase his yield of oats. They shonld be copied in large letters and pasted on the barn door of every farmer who is cot already following the directions which they contain. They are. first, secure seed suitable to the locality; second, get seed that will grow; third, fan and grade the seed: fourth, treat for smut; fifth, properly prepare the seed bed, and, sixth, sow seed with a drill. A glance will show that there Is nothing bighfalutln or particularly difficult about these roles. It is fair to assume If a farmer has been slipshod with bis oats he could Increase the yield of this cereal from lO to 40 per cent by following these above simple directions. .

direction of the county superintendent, D. E. Brainerd. Last spring each pupil who was willins: received a pint of tested seed corn from the superintendent. This was planted and tendod according to directions, each boy selecting the ten ears from his experimental plot which he thought were the best. To add interest to the project and to enhance its educational value substantial prizes were ofTered to the pupils showing the best ears of corn and who also gave the best answers to a list of questions bearing on their work and writing the best essay on the corn plant and its value. This may seem like a very simple step along the line of securing a study of agriculture in the public schools, but It Is a most important one and might be taken up by school officials in other counties, thereby creating an added interest in school work and contributing materially to the agricultural prosperity of the county. The cement age In which we are said to have entered, made necessary by the wanton and ruthless destruction 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 a 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 beat It. In the 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 a dust and death laden air. In every such plant immature boys, with hollow cheeks and lifeless eyes, listlessly yet carefully scan an endless concave belt bearing earth and clay to remove stones and other matter which would be Injurious in the manufacture of this product. In the mill proper the sunlight is obscured and the life limit shortened by an ever present dust that narks the nnwholesomeness and also the cost of the cement age.
