If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrears are paid. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to which they are directed, they are held responsible till they have settled their bill and ordered their paper discontinued. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher, and the paper is sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it, whether he has subscribed for it or not, is held in law as a subscriber. The Postmaster who neglects to give the legal notice of the neglect of a person to take from the office the newspaper addressed to him is liable to the publisher for subscription price. J. D. E.

Nothing could indicate better the progress which has been made in reclaiming and lands than the statistics submitted to the attendants of the irrigation congress at Ogden, Utah. In the arid and semi-arid zones, there remain about 600,000,000 acres of vacant public land and under the storage system there is enough water to irrigate about one-sixteenth of this area. President Clark estimates that the government during the next thirty years can reclaim lands to provide homes for between 12,000,000 and 15,000,000 people. The work of the government of reclaiming arid lands is progressing rapidly. In lands has been begun, none too soon. There is a strong demand for the new territory thus created and with increasing density of population in eastern and northern states this demand is bound to increase. Within the thirty-year term which President Clark fixes as the time necessary for the irrigation of the lands now lying barren and useless there probably will be more than 15,000,000 homemakers ready and eager to occupy the reclaimed area. The irrigation movement should be carried forward persistently and with energy, and as a necessary feature of the work, public pressure should be brought to bear on Congress to support every reasonable measure of forest preservation. Without forestry, President Roosevelt declares in his letter to the Ogden convention, irrigation must fail. Moreover, with increasing study of the problem more effective and economical methods should be discovered. Senator Burton’s suggestion that the flood waters of great river be stored for irrigation purposes obviously points in the right direction. Had an adequate storage system been established at the time of the enormous floods of last spring not only would great destruction of life and property have been avoided but the flood waters might have done a work of immense benefit. The irrigation movement homes and fruitful soil to the rising generation. The landless are not yet "disinherited," no matter what agitator may say to the contrary.—Chicago Daily News. Cost of Irrigation. The report of the Industrial Commission gives some interesting and pertinent information regarding the cost of irrigation. This is shown to have been not more than from $2 to $5 per acre in the original pioneer ditches, but the cost has increased with the necessity for storage and for long canals to about $12 per acre. The average annual cost of conveying water has been about $1.25 per acre, including all costs of repairs and maintenance. The report advocates national control of all sources of water supply upon which two or more States depend for irrigation. This would seem to be the only just and equitable solution of the difficulty. The health and material welfare of the whole agricultural community of the irrigated districts depend so absolutely upon the water supply and distribution that it would be a grave mistake to allow the sources of supply and the reservoirs at the headwaters to fall into the hands of private individuals. Vested riparian rights must be respected, but the sources of water far more important to the people at large than they must always remain in the hands of the people themselves. —William McLeod Raine, in Sunset Magazine. Modern Farming. The idea may prevail that the main feature of an agricultural course is to teach boys to plow, sow, and reap and to do the other familiar manual labor on the farm. Such instruction is chiefly necessary for the boy from the city who has never handled a farm tool. What the boy needs most to study is the natural sciences which underlie all farm practices. He needs to know the laws of plant life as he may study of them in botany. He needs to know the habits of insects that destroy his fruits and vines as he may study of them in entomology. He needs to know the composition and physical properties of the soil as he may study of them in chemistry and physics. Therefore, these four sciences have a large place in a course in agriculture. The student likewise needs a knowledge of English, history, civil government, mathematics, drawing, etc., that he may become a well-rounded man — a good citizen as well as a handy man at his vocation. An agricultural course is one of the most delightful a person may follow. Some men say it is the best course in the universities which have an agricultural department, because it deals so intimately with the things of everyday life. The California Polytechnic School, at San Suis Obispo, were worth while if nothing but agriculture and its related sciences were taught, but the proposed instruction in domestic science and mechanics will add greatly to the school’s usefulness in the industrial world. Leroy Anderson, in Sunset. A Mammoth Holiday Issue. The December Delineator (the Christmas number) represents the high-water mark of beauty and utility, and possibly of circulation also, in a woman’s magazine, having a first addition of more than a million copies. It contains 240 pages. To produce this mammoth edition, 728 tons of paper and 49 presses working 25 days were required. In addition to exquisite color work, clever fiction and strikingly illustrated articles, the number includes a display of charming Winter fashions covering 42 pages, letters from the foreign fashion centers and illustrated articles on the fashionable fabrics find trimmings, millinery, etc. Among the notable contributors are; Richard Le Gallienne, with a delicate romance, A Wedding Ring in the Garden, containing lyrics in the author’s best vein; W. A. Frazer, with an Indian tale, The Net of Leo; Albert Bigelow Paine, with a delightful sketch founded on the foibles of the collector; Harriet Prescott Spofford, with a love story of unusual interest; Andrew Lang, with a clever travesty on the usual fairy tale; and Gustav Kobbe, with an interesting paper describing the life of Mme. Emma Eames, in her Italian home, with her portrait in colors. There is also the third installment of the Evolution of a Club Woman, the picture narrative of clubdom by Agnes Surbridge, and a remarkable photographic article by J. C. Hemment. There are many beautiful art features, among them four pages in colors representing Babyhood, Childhood. Girlhood and motherhood—the work of Bernard J. Rosenmayer. For the children there are entertaining games and stories, and for the housewife many practical suggestions in cookery and other departments of the home, for the Christmas season. WHO CAN DO SO? So uniformly successful has Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription proven in all forms of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after over a third of a century’s experience in curing the worst cases of these distressing and debilitating ailments, Dr. Pierce now feels fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in cash for any case of these diseases which he cannot cure. It Stands Alone.—The "Favorite Prescription" stands alone, as the one and only remedy for these distressingly common forms of weakness, possessed of such positively specific curative properties as to warrant its makers in proposing, and binding themselves to forfeit, as we, the undersigned proprietors of that wonderful remedy hereby do, to pay the sum of $500 in legal money of the United States in any case of the above diseases in which after a fair and reasonable trial of our treatment, we fail to cure. No other medicine for the cure of woman’s peculiar ailments is backed by such a remarkable guarantee; no other medicine for woman’s ills is possessed of the unparalleled curative properties that would warrant its manufacturers in making such an offer; no other remedy has such a record of cures on which to base such a remarkable offer. Therefore, insist on having Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and turn your back on any unscrupulous dealer who would insult your intelligence by attempting to foist upon you some inferior substitute, under the plea that "it is just as good." Insist on having the article which has a record of a third of a century of cures and which is backed by those willing to forfeit $500 if they cannot. Cure you. In cases attended by a leucorrheal drain, a solution of Dr. Pierce's Lotion Tablets should be used conjointly with the use of the "Favorite Prescription." They are sold by all druggists, or sent post-paid to any address, on receipt of 25 cents in stamps. Send 31 cents in stamps for Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser.
