Those, who a few weeks ago com plained of the dry weather, will probably change their wall now, and cry for less wet. This fault finding spirit reminds us of the old story of the Irishman, who, after coming to this country, made the following comment on the American way of discussing the weather: "Over In olfl Ireland, when we were favored with a pleasant day. we thanked the Lord for It; but over In this country when over the Americans were favored with a nice day, Instead of being thank ful, they would say this is another bloomln' weather breeder."

Those interested in base ball have laid out considerable cash and hard work by way of Improvement on the ball field. To those who nre not fa miliar with the amount of work re quired to root out the stones, rocks, stumps and trees, and to fin In, grade and erect back-stop, it seems as If more should have been accomplished for the money. When the work was begun some four years ago, the only thing about the lot that was favor able was its location. The Infield was covered with brush and stumps, and was so rough that a cow was In grave danger of breaking a leg if she at tempted to cross it, but as It was the only available place it was decided to locate the diamond at this point. Since that time, fully fifty dollars have been laid out in the effort to make the place (It to play on.

Merchant DImond, of Waymart, has a machine In his store (that tho farmers In this section that he has been purchasing oggs from for the last two years call tho devil's ma chine), it seems that tho farmers would call upon the merchant with a basket of eggs and with a pitiful talo toll what n price they could get for tholr eggs In New York. This would soften tho merchant's heart so much so that ho would pay them their N. Y. price In trade, and as a general thing get tholr trade down at wholesale prices, but after a while tho kind-hearted merchant saw that ho was losfng money, so he opened his eyes wide, and In order to keep on tho right side of the fnrmr, ho Installed a machine In his store that every time eggs dropped a cent in Now York, n bell will ring tolling the truth of the market price in New York. So the farmer has to content himself with the regular market prices, but tho farmers own up that Mr DImond is always on the square, and still gets their eggs. , Thomns Arthur can bbast of as fine n yearling colt as you will llnd in Wayne county.

Washington, April 28. - Theodore Roosevelt for the United States senate as successor to Chauncey M. Depevv. This is the way the political prophets and wiseacres In AVnsliington have the situation In New York state figured out today. They arrive at this conclusion from many dlft'ercut viewpoints, but there Is apparently n consensus uf opinion that this suggestion offers a solution to a multitude of problems confront ing the Republican party not only In the Empire State, but in the nation at large. In the general discussion of the situation growing out of the appoint ment of Governor Hughes to the su preme court bench It already had been agreed Hint his retirement from poli ties loaves Colonel Roosevelt ns tho probable dictator of the party In New York state. The party leaders in Washington realize the same thing, that tho exig encies In New York demand a strong factor In the race tills fall if the Re publicans are to gain success at the noils.

L'lil-ll.CKS NOT WANTM). Workers In tho Oooil Itomls Move ment Should bo Vigilant. Whenever a progressive move ment Is started, tho "pullback pro jects himself Into Its path, but for tunately for such movements, tho "pull-back" eventually finds him self run over. It cannot be expected that tho Good Roads movement would be an exception to tho attacks of these pessimists, Their opposition 1b usually tho result of Ignorunce, and tholr arguments such ns appeal only to tho unthinking, but, fortunately for tho Good Roads cause, there are very fow citizens In our state to day, outside ot tho big cities, who have not been" doing a heap of think ing on this subject. Every day sees largo accessions to tho ranks of workers in tho Good Roads cause, and tho more that peoplo think or or study the prob lom, tho moro converts to highway Improvements are made. . Some communities think they coo not afford good roads, while, as a matter of fact, it Is the bad roads they cannot afford. Dad roads aro tho most expensive burden any community can carry. Tho money that Is spent on them, year after year, Is practically thrown nway, ; with nothing to show for It In thoi end. Tho wear and tear on horses, wagons and hnmcss, and the loss of time In getting around over bad roads, would pay a double rnto of interest on the cost of improved highways. Bo n thinker, a talker, a worker for highway Improvements. Wo have been accused of presum ing to know"- what tho vehicle of the future will be, when wo advocate tho Issuing of bonds for highway Improvement. Wo presume our worthy brother who makes the ac cusation, when he speaks of tho "future," means the next fifty yenrs, the length of time ,for which wo be lieve the bonds should be Issued, and In answer to him, we do pro Biinie to know this much of It that it will travel on Wheels, nnd, con sequently, will need roads. Possi bly our worthy brother Is looking for such a wonderful Improvement of tho airship that the necessity for roads will be abolished w'e do not. That there will be great striaes in aviation, during the next naif cen tury, none can gainsay, but it takes a more vivid imaginatiorithan ours to picture a ton .of hay or a load of coal flying through tho air. Maybe these things will come to pass, but, in our humble judgment, there will be many people on the face of the earth, oven for travel on the high ways. There have been wheeled vehicles, continuously, since Noah's time, and we believe there will bo such until the millennium. GUMPTION ON THE FARM. Be prompt at meals. Is the mower ready?

Cart away all the old cans, broken dishes, old coats and boots, from back places and yards, On some soils it does not pay to ; plow too deep. For lnstanco, take it I where the plow-point strikes hard pan; no use to pull the horses to death and tire ourselves all out to bring that to the surface. It Is not worth while after, we have done It. Here is the most approved method of treating seed potatoes to prevent a scabby crop: Soak the whole seed for two hours In a mixture of one half pint of formalin (often called formaldehyde) and fifteen gnllons ot cold water; dry tho seed, cut, and plant in ground that has not recent- i ly grown potatoes. Must tho liorso go? Is tho anxious query of tho Illinois Farmer. To bo sure ho must go.nnd the faster tho better. Who wants a horso that does not pay? In these automobile speed days tho faster tho liorso can go tho hotter we llko him, and soon nobody will be satisfied with less than a two-minute clip. Probably not one farmer In a thousand over took his mowing ma chine guards out aud ground them on the cutting edge. Look at them and see how dull thoy aro. Some day before haying, when you have a llttlo time, just take them all out and sharpen them. You have no Idea how much bettor they will work. The machine will cut almost like a new one. Tarring corn: In coating seed corn with coal-tar as a protection against crows and blackbirds, put tho grain into a pall and pour on enough warm water to cover It. Add a teaspoon ful of tar to a peck; and stir woll. Throw the corn out on a clove or In a basket to drain, and then stir In a few handfuls of land plaster (gyp sum). Do not pour' the tar on tho dry seed, From May Farm Journal. THE KOUimiY YARD. Let other folks do the fancy poultry business. You stick to practicnl work. Keep the brooder perfectly clean, nnd alwnys feed tho chicks in a clean place If you want them to live nnd thrive. Tho baby ducks nro Just as well off, In fact better, without- water to swim In until they have grow their crop of feathers. Bits of meat carried out with brine from the barrel and loft on tho ground will give hens serious bowel trouble. Don't risk It. Keep your hens from straying over on the land of your neighbor. Bo particular about this If he has any crop growing there. In the northern latitudes Mny is the last month when hens should be set. Chicks hatched after that will be too late for laying next fall. Give the houses a good cleaning, and plow or spade up tho yards. Dirty houses breed vermin, and pol luted soils are Incubators for th gape worm. Give the turkey hen and her brood a coop large enough for tho mother to move about and stand erect in, and you won't be so apt to have bad luck. Guinea fowls will now be laying, and a watch must bo kept on their nests, as It Is their nature to hide them. Tho eggs had better be hatched by hens. It's annoying, perhaps, just about supper time, to have to stop to wash dirty eggs when the hen breaks one, but this is a task that must not be put off until to-morrow. Because hens are out on the land now do not therefore think they do not need shells and such things. They may not be able to find a bit of that kind of food In all their travels. A shortage here is apt to mean a shortage in eggs with good shells on them. This Is the month that gapes aro more or less prevalent on heavy soils. Chicks should not be brood ed on the same ground that was accorded to chicks afflicted with the disease last year. Place them on ground that was never before used by poultry. When nens begin to lay soft shelled eggs It Is time to ask your self, "Where am I falling to give them tho food they need?" Don't be satisfied until you can answer that question. Almost always it Is due to a lack of shell-making ma terial. May Farm Journal. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
