As I understand it, “sclentific efil- clency” is the sort of efficiency which gets the wnost results from the least ex- Penditure of capital, labor and time. This inay not be the dictionary defl- nition, but it's about the idea which has scaked into me from casual read- ing abous the thing. So far as capital is concerned, most of the farmers I know could give the sclertific experts cards and spades and etill bext them. For most of the farm- ers 1 know carry on their business withcut any working capital to speak of. What little ‘they have is invested in land, bufldings and stock. More- over, this little is usually invested at such prices that only by the patientest and watchfullest waiting can the farm- er hope to get any chance to sell at a profit. In the meantime, for his needed tomorrow’s expenses, he usually has to rely upon today's chance driblets of income. So far as capital is concerned, the avorage farmer couldn't get along With less. For the remainder is sadly small When you take something from nothing —cr try to. But how about labor and time? Are we, as a rule, economical in these ele- mers? One thing is perfectly manifest, viz.: that our volunteer advisors who are not farmers think we are not. O :ly yesterday the carpenter who is Tenewing my roof gave me a friendly but sharp dressing-down because of certain failures om ‘my part to take advantage of various labor-saving pos- sibilities about the gardens. No mat- ter just what they were; they apply only to my peculiar conditions and would hardly interest anybody else. He is 2 ratber cocksure sort of chap, this carpenter anc really thought he could give me points about my business from his vantage on the ridge. He meant well, and I accepted his school- ing with a'laugh and told him that it was evident he ought to have been a gardener and not a wgod-butcher. While hs was mulling ovér this and trying to decide whether I meant it as a compliment, or the reverse, I man- aged to get out of earshot. It happened that one of the “labor- saving” devices he advocated hed been tried by me and discarded as causing more wcrk than it saved. Another suggestion, while evidently pleasing to the carpenterish mind, was so wildly impracticable to any experienced work- er of dirt that it needed no trial to show its futility. A third suggestion was quite new to me and I'm thinking it over. Perhaps there may be some- thirg in it I’m not vexed at him for his attempt to give mie points. On the other hand, T'm distnctly grateful, not only for the neighboriy interest which he showed in suggesting plans that he thought might be helpful to me, but for the different view of one or two functions Whick: his outlook opened up to me. _As a rule, we farmers get more ad- vice than bank notes. We get it from men who wouldn’t know a Chrysanthe- mum lencanthemum from a Taraxacum dens-loenis, if they should happen on either one. We get it from men who have succeeded at some other business and think that is proof they would succeed at ours. We get it from men ‘who-have failed at everything else and therefure feel sure that farming is the one thing they wouldn’t have failed at. Ask the editor, and he’ll tell you that more than half his readers believe :lGY oo}nd Tun the paper better than o. But I think that nine-tenths of the farmer’s non-farming friends feel con- vinced that they could run a farm Dbeticr than the man who is doing it. It is a deal easier to stand off at the edge of the fight and criticise the strategy of the generals than it is to take charge and win e victory. There are a lot of things—a whole big lot of things which somehow don’t ‘work out in practice as they ought to acco ding to theor: Nevertiieless and notwithstanding all ‘which, toe longer I work soil and the more I see of the methods of other practica’ soil-workers, the more I am convinced that most of us are not so efficient in our use of time and strength es we might profitably be. A good many of us do necessary things In an unnecessarily hard way. A good many of us take extra steps to get waere some short cut would land us, just as certainly. . And a good many of us do a los¥of quite unprofitable work—work that doesn’t pay. _Now don't think that I'm going to give you brother farmers any “steer” about how to do your work better or ;fi:ex’ or more efficiently. Lord for- I dor't know your farms or your buildmes or your personal capacities. I haven't the faintest idea in what par- ticula: ways you, personally, may be wasting time and labor. But, unless you are S0 “sot” and stubborn that you'd actually rather be wrong in your own way than right in some one ‘else’s, the chances are that you could save yourself some time and some work if you'd calmly consider the whys and the wherefores of some of your activities. For forty years the good steck breeders have been Jecturing us about the foolishness of keeping “boarder” cows,—cows who don’t return enough milk and butter to pay for their fod- der. But some of us are still doing just that thing Are you? A barn may be so badly that it takes twice as much time and labor to do the chores in it as in a conveniently planned structure. How about yours? Thers's & weak spot in the fence between the south corn lot and the spring pasture It will take about fifteen minutes to repair it, now. A month_hence, when the cows break over there and eat up half the corn and get sick and fall off in milk and you have fo spend half a day in chas- ing them out and repairing damages, Children Ory - FOR FLETCHER'S you'll appreciate the difference be- tween a little efficient work before hend and a big loss behind hand. Years ago, 1 used to waste hours ot ttme g for tools. Like some others, ‘it seemed natural for me to drop a tool where I had used it and forget all about it. ' Result; next time I wanted that tool I had to hunt—and hunt—and hunt, and perhaps not find it after all till days later, when the pressing need was over. Now, taught by experience, every hoe and fork and shovel goes back to its regular place before I take another tool in hand. Same with small tools, like hammers and saws and chisels. When I want any particular tool I can go to it in the dark and put my hand on . If 1 want to send Hank after it I know he’ll find it exactly where I tell him it is,—if he hasn't misplaced it him- self. In that latter case he gets a sermon that prevents his doing it again! Some years ago a neighbor re- marked, as he gazed at a miscellan- eoug heap of discarded tools in one of his outbuilldings, that every farmer ought to have an auction once in five years or so to clear the old stuff away and make room for new. I don't hold with that idea. Per- this old waste. 3 For illustration, the other day a bolt on the hofse-hos broke. It was one of those bolts which have to be just 50 or they dow't hold right. For a minute it looked as if we'd bave to Then I bethought me that, a dozen years ago, when the old horse-hoe was discarded as too hopelessly worn out to be longer worth using, I had saved from it certain of the better parts and put them away in my cabinet of draw- ers. Perhaps the bolt I lacked might be among them. It took less than two minutes to find out that it less than five minutes more to put it in its place in the machine. In ten minutes after the break it was repaired and the horse and tool were at work again, Keeping the old bolt for a dozen years finally saved me a quarter in money and more than'two hours time for tool, horse and man. Pardon me for putting so many «T'v and “me’s” into this. It hasn’t been done hewuuse of any idea that I'm wiser than you, nor with any thought of setting myself up as a model to be imitated. But after all, one’s own ex- perience is his best teacher, and one knows better the value of his own Httle devices towards greater efficiency in the comservation of time and labor. Mere imitation of one farmer’s meth-. ods by another is neither to be recom- mended nor defended. But sometimes a note from one farm- ers’ experience may suggest something to another farmer along another line which that other man may find of value. We must all manage our own farms in our own ways, but there isn't any law against our changing our ways, when we are, for ourselves, satisfied that a change would make our farming more eflicient and produce greater profit. THE FARMER. NEW LONDON HAS MOTORCYGLE COP Devoting His Attention to Enforcement of Auto Laws— —Investigating Cause of Fire—Trouble Over New Fire Apparatus and Question As to Power of Committee. New London has changed in its police department, since the deys when it was said_that New London had a fine police force and that his name was Hezekiah B. Smith, for now a real motorcycle cop has been added to the force and detailed to special service in the enforcement of the aur tomobile laws. His name is Smith, too, and although new in the game he is playing it for all it is worth. He has been on duty but a short time, and he is already a terror to the jit- neymen as he has haled several of them into court, but not until after they had been given fair warning, end in every instance Judge Coit admin- istered a telling dose of justice that will probably have its full effect. After the motorcycle cop gets a little more used to his self-propelling steed he will have a tryout with some of the high speed automobiles that exceed the speed limit every time th et out of the congested sections of the] city and endanger the limb and life of others, both those who ride and walk. It cannot be expected that Smith can do all this needed work, and it has been suggested mounted state policeman or two come to the city and give Smith a few tips | on how to trap the law violators, and during the intsruction period some of | the practical work. The concerted action of state and city motorcycle cops would in a short time regulate the local situation and, after that, Smith could easily do the rest. It is planned to arrange Smith's tour of duty so that he will be en- abled to spend a night or two each week on Ocean avenue, which has be- come the automobile speedway, es- pecially between sunset and sunrise. The bait is there and soon the motor- cycle cop will go fishing. Notwithstanding the fact that the state police have not been very suc. cessful in convicting parties arrested at their instigation for setting fires in New London, the officers are ever ready to try agein in the event of a suspicious fire, and make quick re- sponse to a cail to investigate. There was a fire in a Main street store early Wednesday morning, and Chief Stan- ners and the firemen who responded to the still alarm were strongly of the opinion that the fire wes of incen- diary origin. By noon of the same day, the state policeman was onto his Job ‘and making thorough investigation Which will be continued until he be- comes absolutely satisfled that the fire was not of incendiary origin and for the purpose of defrauding the insur- ance company. end without regard to the damage done to the property of others. Fortunately for the owner of the building and the occupants, with per- haps a single exception, the fire was discovered In its inciplency by a local police officer, who immediately tele- phoned a call to the Niagara company, which elways have a working crew in readiness to respond in the power- ful triple-action motor-driven ap- paratus. The firemen were there in a jifty and put out the blaze with chem- icals and before any loss of conse- quence resulted. The firemen had not started back for the fire house, before the chief of the department and the police officer were satisfled that it was 2 case for consideration by the state fire warden, the superintendent of the state police, and an officer was im- mediately assigned to investigate. Pending is the decision of Judge ner Greene on _the injunction brought by Alderman Thomas Graga: foreman of the F. L. Alden Hook an Ladder company to restrain the city from purchasing for the company & city service truck, of a make that is not to the taste of the remonstrator. The point at issue at present is wheth- er the fire committee of the court of common council, with the sanction of a majority of the council, expressed by vote, not including the mayor, has authority to expend an appropriation that is not made for the specific pur- that a| of the one favored by the commlttee, and which had no local representative that was_entitled to the commission of eale. Hence the injunction. From present indications Alderman Gragan's fire company will not have new apparatus this year, no matter what may be the decision of the su- perior judge, as it is understood the committee i5 confident that it would be for the best interests of the city to have a machine such as they favor, while Alderman Gragan's compeny will persistently oppose any truck ex- cept the make selected by the for man. That will probebly mean a dead- lock that will carry with it the death of the appropriation. of the budget for next yeer it is prob- able that if appropriation is recom- mended for new fire apparatus, that it vill be so specified. At this instance is an open question whether the ap- propriation, i any is recommended, will be for a triple-action motor-driven apparetus, with powerful pumps, a duplicate of the Niagara, or a city service truck. There is every possi- bility that there will be just a little tinge of politics in the make of that | part of the city budget that pertains to the fire department. AN AMERICAN MARTYR TO SCIENCE. Vassar Alumnae to Honor the Memory of Professor James Orton. Far away in South America, on a small and unfrequented island in the Titioaca, stands a little crumbling tombstone roughly built of stones by sympathetic hands, which serves to mark the last resting place of a once noted American explorer, Professor James Orton. Not very many living remember the modest, " kindly In the make-up | FEATURE PICTURE Children’s Matinee Titicaca, making valuable ethnological collections of Incarial relics. In 1576 he organized e third expedition, with the object of exploring the Great Beni River, a pranch of the Madeira, one of his Ccompanions being Dr. Edwin Ruthven Heath, the well-known dis- coverer of the River Heath in South America, who is still living, hale and hearty, in Kansas City, Missouri, This expedition reached the mouth of the river, where most of the equip- ment and eupplies were lost. Orton and his few companfons made the ter- rible 600-mile journey back to La Paz through forest and jungle amid in- creditable hardships, but on_crossing Lake Titicaca on the way to Puno the intrepid scientist died September 25, 1877, from the exposure incurred. Sub. sequently his remains were taken to Esteves Island by eympathetic friends, and some years ago a Scotch engineer by the name of Crighton built with his own hands the rough monument which marks the spot where, 0 the ever- lasting requiem of Titicaca's ceaseless waves, almost in the very ehadow of the snow-capped peaks he loved so well, James Orton sleep: A Renaissance Palace. The magnificent chateau of Cham- | bord, which it is reported, has now | been placed “under official adminis- | tration,” is one of the finest Renais- sance palaces in existence. It was built for Francis I by Pierre Nepven in 1526, Cousin, Bontemps, Goujon and other noted artists being engaged ' on its decoration. Many changes were afterwards carried out, especially by Louis XIV. and Marshal Saxe, to whom the monarch presented it in 1748 Stanislaus Lesczinski, the ex-king of Poland, occupied Chambord from 1725 til 1733. Seventy years later poleon presented the chateau to Marshal Berthier, from whose widow it was purchased in 1521 for £1,000, raised by public subscription, for the Comte de Chambord, the last of the kings of France de jure.

GOVERNOR WHO SAVED LEO FRANK DEFENDS HIS ACT. scholar whose work advanced the cause of human knowledge, and in whom the gentle nature of the poet was linked with the daring spirit of the explorer of unknown wilds. Only in the hearts of his surviving relatives and of Vas- sar graduates of some 40 years ago is his memory enshrined, and until recently comparatively few even of these remembered how Orton lost his life and where his body lay interred. They have now, however, learned something of the particulars of his death and the location of his grave, and a movement has been started among the Vassar alumnae of the days of the early seventies, among their daughters and their grand-daughters, and soon a marble shaft will rise to mark the spot where, “Far from tourist travel and the world's unheeding race,” James Orton sleeps. An article by Edwand Albes in the Monthly Bulletin of the Pan American Union served to awaken the memories of those who had forgotten, and struck a responsive cord in the hearts of the elder Vassar women. It was thelr old professor who lay there, “far from kindred, home, and friends, almost un- known and certainly unsung,”"—as the writer had it—and as soon as the Atlanta, Ga. — Governor Slaton’s appearance since he commuted the sentence of Leo Frank has undergone a great change. He shows that he has been under a great strain.

A committes has been ap- pointed to collect a fund by private subscription, & fund that will be ade- Qquate to provide a suitable monument, and the work is being systematically and zealously carried on. Orton, who was born at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1830, and educated at Williams College and Andover Theo- logical Seminary, entered upon his career as a sclentist in 1866, when he was appointed instructor in natural sciences in Rochester University. In 1367 a sclentific expedition to the equatorial Andes and the River Ama- zon was organized under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, and Prof. Orton was selected as its leader. As_a result of this expedition many hitherto . unknown specimens of nat- ural history were collected and today form portions of the collections in the museums of such well-known depos- itories as the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, the Philadelphia_Acad- emy of Natural Science, the Boston Soclety of Natural History, the Pea- body Academy of Science, and -Vassar College, while the bulk of the collec- tion was purchased by Ingbam Uni- versity. Upon his return to the United States Professor Orton was offered the chair of natural history at Vassar College in pose. In making up the budget the appropriation for the fire department ‘was increased sufficiently to provide for the purchase of & new piece of fire apparatus, but it was not specified in the call for the city meeting, that the increase was for a city service truck.
