CEODDiH0 FOOD,

Almost every farmer has upon hi.
farm wood lot, from which he obtain:
his years stock of fuel, and some tim,
during the winter either sends his hire
man or goes himself into the woods ant
chops the necessary amount of fuel tC
supply his wants for the next season
We have known those who have neglect.
el this work till quite late in spring, and
even then did not haul the wood to the
door, and chop or saw it up ready fol-
use. We remember one good lady who
wa- sorcly pcrp!cxed at times TO get fuel
with which 10 boil the pot, and in spite
OF ali she could do or say, her husband
neglected TO provide the wood needed to
do the cooking for the large family I'M
der charge, and one day in having time,
alter repeated demands had been made
for fuel during the week previous, She
hung her dinner pot out in the sun. the
south side OF the shed, and left it there.
When dinner time came, and the farmer
with lis man and boys were ready for his
noon time meal, behold there was nolh-
ing to eat on the table. When the GOOD
wife was questioned, she said she would
90 and see if the dinner was cooked.
which she very much doubted, though
she had placed the pot i'll the hottest
place she could find. The farmer was
o! himself, and set off that after
noon and got mp some wood, though lie
never WAS good proyider of fuel Now
there are few things that so provoke the
cook rs 10 have green OF wet fuel, and
no one would blame her for being right
down mad If she WIS expected to cook
without any fuel, for that is more than
was expected of the children Of Israel,
who were required TO make bricks with
out straw. Now much the best way is.
not only to chop and get up, and saw,
split and pile YOUR wood in winter for
all the next year, but to do it early be-
fore the snow becomes very deep and
the weather very cold and then when
it is hauled up to the door, you can at
your convenience prepare it for the fire,
and before The spring work comes on,
have it all out Of the way. When wood
Is cut for the market, it should be cut
about four feet long, and if it is TO be
left in the woods to dry, should be cord
ed up with the bark up, if cleft wood
All pine wood, to dry we'll, should be
split when green. While birch wood
is very much better for being dried I'M
der cover, Large logs should be split, OF
whatever wood they may be. If the
wood is wanted for home use, it may be
cut eight or ten feet long, and hauled
that length 10 the door some saving is
thus made by saving instead of cutting.
At any rate, do it as you will, chop aud
haul your wood, get it into the shed, if
possible. when it will be nice and dry

The HARrEEs. - This great book
firm was founded in 1916 by James and
John Harper. Wesley Harper came in
in 1922, and Fletcher Harper in 1926,
since which the firm has stood as i
stands now. 1t is not often that four
brothers can be united so long, with no
break in the rank by death or other
causes. Hon. James Harper - honora-
bic because once the mayor is about
sevcnty-three years of age, and there is
no youth about the establishment more
active than h. He delights in a good
story, good listener, a good Joke, and
no one can discover a reason why he
shouldn't live twenty years vet. Mr..
John Harper is about seventy. but not
SO robust in health as James. He is the
negative element in the firm, and COM
monty wields the veto power. Mr..
Wesley Harper is gentlemanly and cor
dial, comforting disappointed author
and encouraging a promising one with
equal suavity. Mr.. Fletcher Harper is
the active, aggressive spirit of the firm,
but with a vaulting ambition that never
oleaps itself 1t is his spirit that ami
mates and directs tie "Moptblv
" Weekly and g Bazaar" Besides the
four members of tine firm there are mn
merous sons, making a dozen in all
The Harpers resemble English firms in
the tenacity with which their employees
cling to them. There is one gray
headed octogenarian who has been in
their employ fifty years. The foreman
of their composing room has been with
them forty years; the foreman of the
press room thirty-tive years; and there
are women in the folding rooms that
nave been with them thirty years. Their
cashier has also been in their employ
thirty-fiye years.

THE NEW DAYS.

The supplies of food both in America and
Europe, are, in comparison with the demand,
more deficient than for many years. In some
sections, the deficiency is so great that, if we
did not possess rapid and comparatively
cheap transportation, the result would be
famine, followed by depopulation. From this,
we can see why, formerly, the population
of countries periodically subject to short crops,
by reason of inferior soil and unfavorable eli
mate, had no increase from age to age, while
some. owing to repeated famines and plaques,
returned almost to the savage state. This year,
there is an absolute want, not so much in cities,
as in rural districts; still, it is abated because
supplies can reach them from regions which
have produced abundance. The day has prob
ably forever passed when an excess of the
staple articles of food can remain for many
months in any part of the country. Nor can
the demands for breadstuffs ever be less than
at present; for not only the opening of new
branches of industry, but system of ex-
changes operating with the people of the South
and of the tropics, as well as with extensive
manufacturing districts abroad, will call for
whatever the farmer can spare.
The aggregate of the Illinois corn crop is not
large, but it is worth 70 cents bushel on the
farm; and yet, larger crops, year after year,
have been raised, and with difficulty sold at
10 cents per bushel. The same comparison can
be made regarding most kinds of animal food
The explanation lies in the fact that, if a sur
plus now exists in any part of the country, it is
Immediately in demand, either in adjacent manu-
featuring or mining regions, or at some dis
tributing point to be shipped abroad. This has
a powerful influence in developing districts
hitherto supposed condemned to poverty and
isolation. Another thing is important we
have ceased to have q metropolitan and exclu-
sive market and the demand for food and
staple commodities. generally. is as great in
