Itnt they appreciate fully now the advantages of the new de parture. There is an increasing pres sure for the establishment of rural routes, nml the representative of at country district who cannot secure something in this line for hi.t con stituents runs the risk of losing bid popularity. 1 So strong is the pressure for rural free delivery that the post oflice de partment otVieials arc not dealing with a remote question v.licn they prepare estimates of the gross cost of a complete rural serxice. l!ut while the cost will be larg,- it will not frighten .tnericnns. Indeed, they are in the habit of looking unmoved on much larger appropriations for far less useful purposes. It. may well lie that when the lit ter carrier makes his trips to ecry farmer's gate the farmers will make a more extensive use of the mails than they do now. and that the rev enues of the department will expand as they have in the past whenevr hotter facilities have been proxided. Kven if this xvere not to be the case, the "general welfare" will lie pro moted by an evpendit ure which brings Ihe farmers of the I'nl'-d States into closer touch w.ith ll"' busy world from which niopt of them nre so far removed.

Turn over, in Farm and Home. Amerlvnll rnrniers Needed. The Philippines nre threatened xvith a rice famine, and this is a serious thing, for the natives subsist almost entirely on rice and fruits. Agricul ture is at loxv ebb to cultivate orgroxv more than enough for the bare neces sities of life. A failure of the rice cvji, i re a wi:cni jtri'irc in jninn, means dire distress to the natives, but the Philippine commission has acted promptly and" imported 20,000 tons from the Asiatic coast. When Ameri cans become extensively engaged in agriculture in the islands the crop out put will be much larger. Chicago Daily Sun. Keep the nalldlnaa Painted. Farmers should realize now the im portance of keeping all buildings well painted. The tall is the best time to paint, as the paint has all winter in which to harden slowly, whereas paint put on in the spring or summer is-of ten- times injured by the hot sun, while it is fresh and soft. Paint is necessary not only for appearance's sake, but for the preservation of the buildings. It Is hard, also, to convince one of your thrift and business ability if your place has a dilapidated, run-down look. Qood paint is cheap and any industrious man, with a little care, can learn to apply it well. Prairie Farmer. How n Traveler ! I'.uiss. An English traveler xvho has visited every nation in the world is auf hority for the statement that one food is uni versal throughout all count rie-. "There is not a part of Ihe world," he says, "xxhere you cannot get an egg." While in western China, however, he at first had some dillieulty in getting even eggs. The natives could not un derstand him, and refused to recog nize the pictures he drew of eggs. "The way I got out of the dillieulty," he adds, "was that I squatted down on my haunches, flapped my wings and coek-a-doodle-doo'd until the entire nation grasped what I xvanted, and I was simply provided xvith hundreds of eggs." Live Hectic Kill Poultry. One thing which is responsible for the dent h of ninny t urkeys is t heir eat ing of live beetles, snys a writer in the Midland Fanner. If the potato beetles are killed before eating, no harm done, but when sxvalloxvcd alive, they will live for a number of days, dest roy ing the lining of the crop and bringing on inflammation. Chickens are not apt to eat potato beetles, but often sxval log cinch bugs alive, xxhieh are small er, but about as harmful. (Iratishoit pers nre so large that they are usually torn to piece- before eating. All soft insects may be sxxalloxved without dan ger to the turkey or chicken. Stopping the Little Leaks. There must be sonic way of stopping the little leaks in the family pocket book, if farming is to he suceessful, and poultry and eggs to take to town are just the right thing to stop that leak. If the egg and chicken money pays all the living expenses, money from the sale of other produce can be used to great advantage somewhere else. Poultry brings in returns all the time, every week in the year, just as the family need them. Many cases might be cited where farmers' wives have paid all the living expenses of large families simply by the poultry sales. Commercial Poultry.

One can no u.ore help being a bad speller than he can help wearing a birthmark or having Mack or brown or blonde or red hair. It has been demonstrated that a high ly educated man will xxrile "months" in one place and "inunths" in anot her. There arc certain xx ords t ha t a re bug bears to different writers. One will stumble oxer "partisan" and another oxer "parallel. A limited nuniberof bad spellings is no cause for the blush of c mini rrn ssi ue nt. I'rof. Scot t firox es that the grandfather of a bad speller was frequently equally at fault in his orthography. That g i ami fa I hers and great-grandfathers were quite fre quently singularly deficient in this re gard, asserts the St. I.ouis (ilobe-l)em-ocrut in this connection, we have only to look upon some of the names of families xvho hate totally forgotten their ancient and proud derixation. There are countless instances of or thographical lapses in great-grandfathers or fathers, farther hack. When a good speller rises in the family he may grope among his ancestral shades and recover the name that is his by right of inheritance, notwithstanding the defective peculiarity that has twisted it out of nearly all semblance to Its nriirinnl.
