Application of Scientific Method
Hma Orercome Drought.
Growing reports are reaching here I
bout the success of dry farming in the
semlarld regions, says a Los Angeles
dispatch to the New York Post New
Mexico has added more new postofficeg
to its list during the year than any
other State or Territory; and in re
gions where rational "dry farming"
methods have been adhered to the new
settlers are uniformly prosperous. This
year's experience, in fact, has demon
strated beyond question the full effi
cacy of the new system of dry farm
ing. Wherever It has been tried, the
results have been good, in spite of a
drought of almost unprecedented length
and severity. It can no longer be pre
dicted that "when a dry year comes,
the Campbell system will fall." The
dry year is here, and the scientific dry
farmer wrp rnping record crcps. The
result will be a phenomenal develop
ment in New Mexico, Arizona, and j
other regions in the semlarld region
within the next decade.
From New Mexico and Arizona hav. 1
come widespread complaints of damage
to crops and loss of live stock on ac
count of the protracted drought Thous
ands of sheep have died of thirst on
the ranges, and many inexperienced
"dry farmers" have learned the costly
, lesson that farming In the semlarld
lands demands very different methods
from those practiced in the older agri
cultural communities. In one week of
July more than 1,000 farmers whose
crops have been almost ruined by the
drought secured leave of absence from
their homesteads, and went to Kansas
to obtain work as harvest hands In the
wheat fields. Moreover, practically all
of these will return when the Kansas
wheat harvest Is over, and hereafter,
it Is safe to say, they will put in prac
tice methods better suited to success
ful plains farming. The drought in
New Mexico and Arizona has now been
broken, and no further loss or suffer
ing is anticipated. In spite of thesd
difficulties the Influx of homesteaders
Into both the southwestern territories
continues to grow in volume.

AUTOMOBILES AND HORSES.
The fight of the horse car men
against the trolley car is remembered
by all. The claim was then made that
2,000,000 horses would be thrown out
of work and that horso breeders would
starve. The trolley is well-nigh univer
sal, and yet more horses are raised
each year than the year before and
they bring better prices.
The horse interests have ever fought
the automobile. There have been thou
sands of columns of argument publish
ed against It and short-sighted men
have advocated such heavy taxation
against it that a great and ever-growing
industry would have been sadly
hampered had half the unwise legisla
tion planned been put Into execution.
Now highway experts, aided by the
motor car interests and a powerful as
sociation of Londoto and Its suburbs,
have turned like the trodden worm and
started an attack on the horse, the
United States director of office of pub
lic roads says.
The claim they advance is that the
polluting of all public thoroughfares is
done not by automobiles, but by horses ;
that If no horses-were allowed to drop
organic matter on public thoroughfares
the dust nuisance would soon be naught
but an unpleasant memory. They ad
vance the logical statement that the
nuisance created, by hundreds of thou
sands of horses is detrimental to pub
lic health and a menace to the pave
ments and they charge that the contin
ual cleansing of the streets because of
this trafSc imposes a vast aad unjust
tax upon the citizens.
TO SHOW HIS GRATITUDE.
When Hannah Perry was dying.
Gould, the good-for-uothing old fellow
who had been practically supported by
her charity for years, and who had
shirked even the slight "jobs" which
she had given him, underwent a curi
ous chunge. He hovered about the
house continually, knocking at the
kitchen door and asking the woman
that Hannah's sister had go to cook
during the illness, how "she" was. For
some reason he never culled her by
name.
"He came round the first day It got
noised about that Hannah was ailing,"
suld the sister to a caller after the
funeral, "and wanted to know what
he could do. Of course 1 didn't know
him from Adam, not having visited
here since father died. I told him
'Nothing' kind of sharp, I guess, and he
went off looking shumefaced.
"The next day he came round again,
and wanted to know if he could chop
some kiudllugs. I had found out who
he was, but there wasn't any wood to
be split, so I told him 'no' again, and
he disappeared. I never laid eyes on
him till the day before she died. What
do you suppose he had been doing
that shiftless old fellow? Why, he'd
been bu lding a chicken coop for her!"
"A chicken coop !" echoed her listen
er. "Of all things 1"
"Yes, Mrs. Douglass, that's what it
was. Not a. particularly good 0110,
either. I . said to- him, 'What is this
for?'
"He said, 'It's for her,' and Jerked
his thumb up-, at. the window.
"Then he looked so sheepish that
I told him to set it next the shed uud

up keeping hens teu years ago, and
a woman oii her deathbed, and got
money saved up the, way she has, isn't
going to start in any poultry busi
ness. Of course I didn't suy us. much
to him, because it was just plain grief
that made him go to work and do it"
"What did you do?"
"Oh, I gave him some pie, and told
him that it was a nice coop, but I
didn't think that Huunah'd ever use
it, and sent him off. Poor old fellow!
I guess it was the flrst piece of hard
labor he'd done for many a day."
. "Or will do."
"Yes, but he's old, and this shows
that his heart Is good."
"I wonder," mused the other, "If I
can't find some things for him to potter
round about, now that Hannah's gone.
I'll ask Henry."

of cumbersome and unsightly plates, which Is the latest mothod to be adopted by scientific
dentistry.
