President Taft In his annual me. . tags said the loss to the Post Office department growing out of the trans mission of second class matter, news papers and periodicals, at one cent pound amounts to sixty three mil lion doners a year. The average coat of transportation is more than cents pound. The Farm Journal predoeaa facta and figures to prove that this statement is not true In fact, that other matter in the mall service is more likely the cause of the defiolenoy, and it deprecates adding any burden to publishers of newt papers by an increase of postage on thtir publications.

If the verdict of the twele men good and true settles anything It is that he did and they said also that he must pay the costs for having such fun ilh an editor. The testimony showed a rotten condition of things.

Farmers Should Read ,, Farmers bave tint during the bad days in winter and long creninga to Improve their Ideas by reading a ad studying how best to do their work so as to make it more pleasant and profitable. There are aaea with plenty of money with whioh to ex periment and buy new machinery, and they give tbera results. Not al ways can farmers sfford to follow their advice but some of ths Qf frac tions made may be of valu. Only by reading and thinking ran a farm er come to a profitable conclusion as to what Is best tor him in hie oironsa stance. Every farmer can improve his methods and It la tho one who studies carefully how to do this who makes bla labor more profitable. Farming is no longer a hap-heaanrd business, It is a science. Years ago nearly all farmers panned the same general way of raising crop. The soil was virgin and prodaaed well, there were few pests, and labor was oheap. This Is all reversed, ' soil aavo become worn ont, peats art numerous and labor la high, bene eternal vlgilenoe is the price ot suc cess. Acres most be made to sn luce greater yields with soonomy of abor, machinery mast take tb place of hired help and ths farmer uust be better informed In his busi ness. These are not theories they are facts. There are farmers who nave ploughed around stumps and tones and other obstruction for rears, which a few moments ot Urn nd a stick of Cynamlie would is- movo. This is only one Illustration. Barnyards have been allowed to eaob away their valuable contents manure has been plied nnder eaves, cattle have been allowed to stand hivering in the cold and to tramp at to some water hoi to drink, all tuoh lesks must be stopped if farm ng Is to pay. One county I rough ind to a great extent sterile, bat all these waste place could be made productive of something. Fruit or wrriea could be raised on rocky acres nd sheep like suob play grounds. Farm products are high and expert eetimony is that the demand la like ly to keep pace with the supply. The inly way then I to make the soil more profitable and turn waste places into productive spot. If oar farmers would awaken to these poesi- rilitiea and direct their energies to heee ends there is no reason why ur county should not in a very few years blossom like a rose.

Split Log Drag. It may seem a little premature, as on looks out on snow and lee, to talk about road making but It U well to be prepared, ktt spring will aarely com and the earlier th road are worked th better. No better Imple meat for road making can be as cheaply mad sa th split log drag, and none I more effective. Take log seven, rest lone about ten or Inches over and carefully split it. Taks on slab the largest and solid- est for the front, bore a two Inch hole in the center cf the face of it 18 leches from the small or road end and three or four from tho other and l In tha center. Take th rear slab and bore a hole about S or 4 Inches from tha small end and others to correspond with the hole In the front slab. Mak stake about 80 Inches long to fasten them together and they may also be braced. Chains are used, attached at both ends of the drag and brought together at the whffiletreee, the farther they are from the drag th greater th bite, and the chain toward the center of the road ahould be shortest. The front slab may be ahod with a strip of iron to mak it mora lasting With thia drag tba roads when soft may be rounded so aa to shed water and that is the great aim in road making.

THE LORD OF The village bells pealed forth one early Bpring mora, For the heir of the Castle of Glanmore was born. Such a olanglng and clashing was ne'er heard before. For great weloome wa tendered the young lord of Glen mora, And grand fete was given on this holiday., The people made merry in their own happy way, "Long live our lord mar he reign three score ten", Were the toasts that were drunk and all cried : "Amen." 'Twas midday In summer, the bells rang out again, Glenmore with his beautiful bride from Coleraine Csma forth from the church In bridal array And all too merry on that holiday. "God bless the yonug ooople what a fine hands me pair" Was beard from all sides. Caps were flung in the air, Lord and lady Glenmore bowed and smiled all around, - From the coach scores of guineas were strewn on the ground. Twas evening in autumn, the same village bell tolled Twas cheerless and dreary the wind It blew cold. As cortege passed on to the vault of Glenmore " In the churchyard and therein was placed the corpse Ot the dear good old master, and the prayers that were said From the hearts of the people and the tears that were stud. Told how much they had loved him But now all's passed away And the Castle of Glenmore has gone to decay. Cecilia A. CcxLctr. THE NEW YEAR'S As the dead year la olasped by a dead December, So let your dead sins with your dead days lie. A new life is yours and a new hope? Remember We build our ladders to climb to the sky. Stand out In the sunlight of promise, forgetting Whatever your past holds of sorrow and wrong; We waste half our strength in a useless regretting; We sit by old tombs In the dark top long. I tell yoa th future can hold no terrors For any sad souls while the stars resolve, I' he will stand but firm on tha grave of hi errors; And, Instead of regretting resolve, resolve! It Is never too late to begin rebuilding, Though all Into rains your life seems hurled. For look! How the light of the New Year is gilding The worn, wan face of the bruised old world 1 BEGIN IT. Q O t T I I Lose this day loitering, 'twill be the name story To-morrow, and the next more dilatory; True incision brings Its own delay, - And day are lost, lamenting over day. Are yoa in earneslT Boiee the very minute; What yoo can do, or think yon can, begin It; Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Only begin It, and th work will be completed.

EDWIN & WOODS.

Allaying Controversies President Taft ta talking earnestly aud frankly to members of Congresa, both regulars and insurgents, point, ing out to them the folly of their course in permitting controversies of a person nature to retard legislation create the impression In the publio mind that the national legislature is -devoting most of Its time to fighting and thus menacing Republican suc cess next November The President takes the ground that a large part of the existing strife is purtle. Totbos who have insisted on the Importance of eliminating Cannooism, Mr. Taft has pointed out that tbeir aim can be best achieved by a sinoera and ear nest campaign and can In nowise be promoted by petty warfare. A vic tory over Mr. Cannon when there I something at stake, as for instance legislation recommended by th ad. ministration, he baa pointed out, would mean great deal. Mr. Taft has also ad moulded th regular Re publican not to go a boat with chip on their shoulders seeking occasion to make things unpleasant fur th In surgent. Ha baa not hesitated to voice his conttmpt for soma of th method adopted but be 1 disposed to believe that aa th work of tha sea son advance and member hsve really important affair to occupy their minds they will abandon their faotlonal bickering and devote tnem selves, earnestly to serlotx work,, .
