Labor is Honorable.

There is no discredit, but honor, in
every right walk of industry, whether
it be i'll tilling the ground, making
tools, weaving fabrics, or selling the
products behind counter. A youth
may handle yard-stick, or measure a
piece of ribbon, and there will be no
discredit in doing so unless he allows
his mind to have no higher range than
the stick and ribbon: to be as short as
the one and as narrow as the other.
LET not those blush who hare"
said Fuller, "but those who haze not,
a lawful calling" And Bishop Hall
said, "Sweet is the destiny of all
trades, whether of the brow or of the
mind.' Men who have raised them
selves from an humble calling need not
be ashamed, but rather ought to be
proud of the difficulties they have sur
mounted. The laborer on his feet
stands higher than the nobleman on
his knees.
An American President, when
asked what was his coat-of-arms, re-
membering that he had been a newer
of wood in his youth, replied, "a pair
of shirt-sleeves." Lord Tenterded
was proud to point out to his son the

profits from Soda Water.

THE hot weather suggests a little
inquiry into the profits of the soda
water business. The cans containing
ten gallons of carbonated water, are
furnished to the druggists at SGD
each. The common soda tumbler con-
tains about one-half pint. If the glass
es were filled full every time the can
would furnish 100 glasses of soda.
As the glasses are seldom if ever filled
more than two-thirds full of water,
the rest being foam, it is estimated
that each can furnishes about 200
glasses of soda-water. One gallon Oh
sirup is estimated to go with can
of carbonated water, although some
retailers give more. Assuming that
a gallon and half of sirup is used, the
cost figures up as follows: Charged
can, s.. 25; gallon and half of Sirup,
1925; ice, cream for cream slrupS,
etc, sixty cents-total cost OF 200
glasses of soda, s.. At ten cents a
glass the retailer receives $50, which
looks like pretty fair profit. At five
cents glass, there would be 100 per
centum profit, and at three cents a
glass there would be more money in
soda than in groceries. TO be sure,
druggists say that their soda costs
them between five and six cents a
glass, and no doubt it can be so figured
but anybody who wants iced soda at
home at cost of 1919 for a charged
fountain and gallon Of any kind OF
sirup. and is willing to pay ten cents
day for ice, will find that he can have
200 glasses of as good soda as he is
likely to get anywhere for about two

ment, drudgery more exhausting,
more unceasing than yours. There is
a thrill of exquisite joy in the soul of
the poet when a new and beautiful
idea comes to him, but the working
out of that thought in expression, is
labor of the severest kind.
'But then he has poem,' you say,
exultingly, "and l only clean floor"
Only that and nothing more. You
have much more. For l imagine your
effort will not end with the cleaning
of your floor, but the lesson you learn
there will show itself in other depart
ments until you possess what should
be the highest aim of every woman, a
well-ordered household, a neat, at
tractive, delightful home.
A home! Is not that as good as a
poem? People can live and thrive
without poetry, but the lack of homes
has been the ruin of many.
To make a home, all the little details
of everyday life, that sometimes seem
so small, so trit1ing, so far beneath the
dignity of intelligent womanhood, du-
ties that the veriest drudge can per-
form, are Of Importance.
Successful home-making is one of
the problems of the age. If you, oh 4!

ing, practically solve the question
which taxes the intellects of the wise
and gifted, solve it by entering heart

of your work, have you labored in
vain? And if this be repeated in the
thousand homes of our land, will not
the foundations of our Nation stand so
strong and firm that all the opening
aood-gates of evil will not be able to
prevail against them?
Lift up your head, then; toiling on,
magnify your office. Place yourself,
as you have right, among those who
are doing the noble abiding work of
the world. EXalt your lowly duties to
the level of your high conception of
what a home is and what it means.
Then no work will seem mean, no duty
tritling. Then we will hear no more

Study Your Soil.

EVERYONE has no doubt observed the
very diverse character and the fire.
quent changes that occur every few
rods in the nature of the soil. With
almost every variation in altitude Of
surface we find change in the texture
and the constituent elements of the
soil. These differences may be seen in
the character of the soil on nearly
every farm, and indeed, of almost
every field of the country, except per-
haps, some Of the level prairie farms
Of the West. Both reason and expert
ence teach us that all soils are not
adapted alike to all crops. Certain
crops will succeed better on a particu-
lar kind of soil, while other crops will
do better on a different kind of soil.
In planning for crop it is therefore
important that these different adapta-
tons should be studied and kept in
view. But is this usually done? Do
not the most of farmers ignore this
difference and act as if all soils were
alike, OF all crops made precisely the
same demands on the soil? But Eas
these diversities in both crops and soil
exist, successful farming depends large
ly on an intelligent adaptation of these
different conditions. The farmer should
know his soil both as to its constituent
elements and its productive capacity,
but especially in regard to this last. 1t
is not to be supposed that every farm
er can be an agricultural chemist, but
everyone can, and should, become a
close observer Of all the phenomena of
nature i'll connection with the produc-
ton of crops on his farm. He may so
observe and note the results of each
seasons operations that in few years.
at most, he can determine the produc-
tive capacity of each field of his farm
under certain conditions of tempera-
ture and moisture. This should be the
constant study of the tiller of the soil
to learn the capacities Of his soil so
that he may avoid the expenditure of
seed and labor in trying to cultivate a
crop on soil to which it is not adapt
ed, which can only result in loss, while
an intelligent adaptation of soil and
crops suited to each other would pro-
duce good profit. Farmer.

Home Keeping.

WITH what enthusiasm the young
housekeeper enters her clean, bright,
attractive kitchen. With what glow
of delight she engages in her duties.
Everything is new, pure, untarnished.
The sunshine CLEANS in rows of bright
tin, the shelves are free from even a
hint of dust, and the surface of the
china is smooth and polished The tea
kettle sings cheerily away on the stove.
How delightful is work with such sur
rOundings. How keenly and with
what alacrity she enters upon her du-
ties. With what dispatch the work is
disposed of. How foolish in her once
to dread housekeeping
But there comes a time when all
this is changed. No longer the bright
surface of the tin and kitchen utensils
reflect the rays of the morning sun.
They are too dingy and dirty to reflect
anything. AS she opens the door of
her cupboard, disorder and uncleanli-
ness stare at her from every corner
Spots of grease disfigure the kitchen
floor, and the stove is, in appearance,
far, very far from suggesting a fit
place for the preparation of anything
one would wish to eat.
She realizes then that vigilance is
the price of cleanliness and order as
well as liberty. Then the thought
comes with bitterness, perhaps, that it
is daily hand to hand fight with dirt
and disorder that must be maintained
to secure surroundings in which work
can be done cheerfully and success
fully. Then as she brightens the tins,
cleans the cupboard and scrubs the
floor, she feels the drudgery of house
work. 1t will be acknowledged that
to go over the same round of duties
every day, week in, week out, for
months and years, becomes tiressme.
To cook, wash dishes, sweep, dust, and
perform all the multifarious tasks per-
tanning to housekeeping, savors very
much of drudgery, indeed is drudgery.
But while you, my friend, WELD the
scrubbing-brush, flourish the broom or
mop, and envy those in other depart
ments OF labor their immunity from
household drudgery, know that there
IS drudgery pertaining to all employ

Seeds of Weeds in the Soil.

IT frequently happens that when a
field of old grassland has been ploWed
up the oats sown have come up along
with a thick growth of charlock OF
wild mustard. 1t may, of course, be
alleged that the charlock seeds were
sown along with the oats; but in cases
of this kind which have come under
our own observation this objection
would not hold good, the seed oats haF-
ing been dressed perfectly clean before
being sown. Some years ago we plowed
a grass field which had been in perma-
nent pasture for a period of between
forty and fifty years. In order to
square the field an old fence running
along was taken down and about five
acres added, which were sown with
oats at the same time with the Old
grass portion of the field, and with
seed out of the same bags. The crop
on the most part of the land which had
been in the old pasture was almost
checked with charlock: while that
grown On the part which had been
added to the field was entirely free.
We afterward learned from an old
man who had lived all his life beside
the farm and worked upon it, that the
portion which had been in grass had
been laid down and left for pasture in
consequence of the manner in which
it was infested with the seeds of the
charlock, which sprung up and choked
the crop whenever the ground was
titled. We do not cite this case as
presenting anything new, because
scores of instances of Il similar
kind are familiar to practical men ;
but it afforded sufficient proof-at
least in our Opinion-that the seeds of
charlock may be dormant i'll the soil
for an indefinite period, so long as cir
cumstances are not favorable for their
vegetating The vitality of all such
seeds will be stimulated the moment
| that circumstances are so altered as to
permit them to vegetate freely. Take
again another caSe-namely, that of a
piece of pasture in which furZe has
been allowed to grow for years mmO-
| Tested. When the furZe burSheS are
cleared away, and the land ploWed VI
and put under one or more short rOta-
tions Of crops, the growth OF young
furze plants will be kept down; but
stock the land down in grass for some
years, and there will be again vigOr-
Gus growth of furze plants, which
have sprung from seed that must have
remained dormant in the soil during
the time the land was under cultiva-
| ton. When calcareOuS materials, Sucl
as lime, shell mari, or shell sand, are

Some French engineers now rec
ommend the use of tale as the most
practicable method of preventing scale
in steam boilers, and on some of the
railways the plan is stated to be en-
ployed quite extensively, and with IA
vorable results. The quantity of tale
placed in the boiler at once is about
one-tenth of the weight of the solid
deposit produced by two successive
washings Of the boiler; and not only
is the formation prevented, but that
which has already been formed becomes
gradually detached and carried away,
the operation being perfectly effective.
This is a novel and interesting applica-
tion of cheap and abundant mineral,

FARMERS say the wheat crop of
Utah will average about twenty-five
bushels to the acre. The grain is very
plump and solid, and will make supe-
