Ag tiOul:ure vas little more than rud gardening or truck-patching and wha little matuiacturing was done wis ai together by hand. Such was the uc piomiding cegtuiiljjg of aii era, whlu In the regular Ufctime of man has ac comp-iahec toe wejeers we see befor us on every ftrm, It Is Interesting t note that toe Stale auseums wnio contain samples of the crude lmple ments of tbe late thirties, label then "ancient," much as they would marl an Egyptian mummy, though a mat who has not passed the psalmist1 limit of three score and ten woul< hardly feel complimented if so char acter.zsd. Tbough something thei thought to be' 'improved" was brough Into the west as early as 1837, th< really revolutionary farm machiner; was not introduced until muoh later A man much younger than seventy - in fact men still in the fifties, hav< ? 3 *-? ii*/* amviK moV oovereu uy tueu uvea duo c{aau-uuu ing period of agricultural machinery The difficulty prior to 1850 was not a much lack of invention as laok o manufacturing facilities, practical all agricultural implements up to tha time being made by hand in a smai way by local mechanics In the east It was not until after the oivll wa that Increase in manufactures witl their increased power and special!] invented tools that the modern farm ers area began. The student of evolution will fine an Interesting field by following uj the inventions 01 agricultural mach ery from tne beginning. The grea law so brilliantly expounded by Dar win and wnion he proved to be thi governing principle in ah worldly af fairs, the law of gradual growth fron small beginnings, the law of orderl: development from the simple to thi complex, is found here operating li full force. Take for instance the firs invention of a reaper, which appearet in Great Bribian in 1827 and was re produced in this country a few yean later. Its main principal was the re ciprocating knife between reaper flng ers and though greatly improved ii details since, this oardinal feature whloh was found to be fundaments and indispensaoie, has been embodies In all suecseuing types of hay am grain-cutting machines. It was th same way with the plows, harrows thresherB and all other implementsone main principle must be adhere to, however great the variety of dc tails and improvements to meet ob jectlons of an incidents character such as too much weight, faulty cod structlon, difficulty of handling an the like. The thresher was long oom lng. Though invented over sevent years ago, tne d.tlijulties of manufat turing pievdiieQ lis general introduc lion until a comparatively recent pel , iod. Ib was not until the moder facilities for turning out scores o hundreds of finished machines dall became common that the reproduotlo of all the large machinery on a larg scale made them familiar on ever farm. Carrying out the Idea of eve lution, it may be remarked that th first patent for a thrasher, though if sued in 1830, was a crude affali though It developed into the magni? cent machine of to-day which contain the principal of the original. The firs effort, however, resembled the impro> ed thrasher of the present day abou as much as the old fashioned han printing-press resembles one of th great perfecting presses in one of ou . first-oiass printing offices. Farmei had to await the coming of the irr proved thrasher before they let go th old-fashioned Hall, made of a Ion tick and snort stick tied togothei and tbe process of tramping out tb grain by horses. Many men still lii ing remember these primitive mett ods just as they remember when tb tree branches was the only harro' used and when the spike-tooth hai row, shaped like a capital A, was coe sidered a great improvement. The ohief value of recalling all thl Is to show farmers that they are li\ ing in the golden age of agriculture Formerly, great developments Ilk that we have been describing, too many centuries for their accomplish ment. Everything moved with pals ful Blowness. It is a characteristic c our age that great revolutions in me chanical appliances, epooh-nakln discoveries and reforms, follow eao Other with such startling rapidity a to daze the beholder. The telephon is only twenty-six years old, and elec trio traction by trolley is mucn young er. The lnoandesoent lamp and othe marvels of electricity have been pro duoed so recently that the lives o mare boys measure their existence The nineteenth has gone into histor, as the "marvelous century" and muoi the greater part of its accomplish menst was the product of the las half, Every department of sdeno bas made wonderful headway, astronomy, geology, archeology, literary research and oritiolsm, but none have So i profited more than agriculture. Great is Its indebtness to applied solenoe, which has converted a rule and semisavage calling into the most Intellectual and profitable of the industries of For a hundred years the best invent- ba ive genius of the world has been work- hit ing to ameliorate the condition and nl? facilitate the operations 01 toe larms es The field was wide, the opportun- ra ities great, and greatly have they been chi 0 improved.

In 1905 it amouuted to 2,700- oa , 000,000 bushels, worth about $1,216,- he ' 000,000, or twloe as much as any oth- 18, ^ er crop. Every section of the coun- Qa e try contributed a share. But great as ni( b these figures are, they oould probably he be doubled in a few years without ln ' planting a single additional acre sim- hi( g ply improving the method of cultiva- at( h tion and above all, by getting better eg ~ seed. TQe a'panjmsaij ui agfiuuivuxo ? everyday receives requests like the n following* "Will you please inform ne r. me where well-bred seed of a variety 'e of oorn suited to this locality oan be ne t purchased?" Unfortunately the ma* av [. jority of the letters oannot be satis- p< raotorily answered beoause no oorn u has been improved for sections of the n0 . UDited States from which they come. e As a consequence the department is iD) 0 trying: to stimulate at least one per- gu ion in every portion of the country to zej oreed seed corn urging that he who ny 'a produces an Improved variety for his t section will not only be a benefactor to bil a his community, but also get a hand- ^ some profit for his work. To help Tz 1 the work along the department dis- la] tributes phamphlets advising the grow- ob ' ers how to select his oorn at best ad- *rt \ "ntage. ' * S ? Apples and Salt. 7 E%t fresh apples with salt after ev- F 1 ' ery meal, advises a physician who has , ' made a speoialy of stomaoh and lntes- ]pf tinal troubles. They aid digestion more effectively than many drugs, and' people who make them a part of the , J dally diet rarely have indigestion. "Take apples, oooked or fresh, with ' salt while dining or immediately af- an j ter and eat them between times when art hungry, he says. Cultivate the ap- th ' pie habit, and instead of eating bon- toi bons and pastry Berye them in some tal form for afternoon tea or for a light 1,? ' lunches in the morning. Eat them in lDi the summer even more tnan during , the winter months, for nothing is bet- da ter or more nourishing for the entire Of system thau this fruit, especially as It po ' is not heating. "The skin, if prop* Tt erly masticated, is not injurious, but ral " the best plan is to out it off, for it Is av # usually tough, as is the outer coat of da ' mo3t fruits. Apples isjan aid to diges- thi I tion despite the orust that is ordloar- hu [ ily considered hard to assimilate. The ba 3 best time to eat apples is after meals, hu * when all the fluids neooesaey have ba : been taken into the stomaoh, for if th 1 milk, coffee or water are drunk after bet taklrg this fruit they lessen it powers Tt I to help digestion." * sti toi Cannot Carry Packages. Complaint is made to the Depart! ment that rural oarrlers, at the re* j quest of patrons of their routes, oall sei 1 at express officers for packages of go mailable matter and deliver same in( outside of the mails to the patrons bu and receive small fees for the servloe. wi a and the following prohibitory order an ' has been issued: "Postmasters at mi ( rural delivery offices are directed to dei inform rural carriers that they must of ' not carry, as express matter, for hire, lee ^ or as a favor any article weighing an four pounds or under, whloh is maila- th ' ble, and oarrlers will Inform their pat- th I rons that such packages can only be tic delivered by them after the required hl| Dostace has been affixed to such paok- wl a ages.'" ye ir Killed Her Husband.

And that n tie was granted to him, his case be- ti r held over. yi Dressed In an ill-fitting "pepper and f suit, Piokhardt presented a ei iking contrast to the straight, ti an cut, fashionably olad man of ni e years ago. At that time he was w althy and lived in luxury at Hemp- li tad, L. I. He was a captain in the h ith regiment, but of his military 0 reer he makes no boasts, for when ai resigned in the thrilling days ef fi 98, he was dubbed "The Coward B ptain," and in camp his tent one w jht was pulled down upon him as ai slept.

Under the present uncerIn system it requires something like ?! >00,000 ootton piokers, each ploking 0 pounds of seed ootton on an aver 0 for eaoh picker and working iou ys, to piok a 10,000,000 bale crop, r oourse some plok more than 100 j~ unds of seed cotton and some less. R tere are days when on ocoount of Jr in, no cottop can be picked. The . Brage of 100 pounds a day for 100 ys Is not wrong as an estimate of 7 8 picker's work. At 60 cents a ? ndred weight the cost of ploklng a le of ootton Is $9. At 75 cents a , ndred weight the cost Is 111.25 a , le. Therefore the oost of ploking P e entire crop will range somewhere bwen $90,000,000 add $112 500,000. {f lis immense sum of money ought to * mnlate some genius to Invent a cot- ^ 1 picker that will pick. * ^ Will Fight It Oat. st A. dispatch from Oolumbia says it jjj tms that the state dispensary will J before the next legislature heavily lloted by the summer primaries, t whether a pro dispensary senate 11 be able to save Its life In spite of tc other antl.dispensary bouse re- 01 kins to be seen.
