TuruiDS.

Every farmer should have bis patch OF
turnips. New ground lately cleared OF
the forest is best for them, as it has but
few weeds. But almost any ground
freshly plowed. and the seed sown Just
before rain. will give good yield. II
the ground Is allowed 10 lay some time
after blowing. the weeds get such start
that the turnips will get smothertd and
will not amount to much.
Turnips are kept in good condition by
being pulled and put in small heaps and
we'll covered with soil. They do not
keep we'll in cellar, unless we'll covered
with fresh earth to keep of the air. Most
kinds OF stock eat turnips with avidity
and benefit. 1t being a crop so easily
produced. every farmer should get his
seed and SOW at once. 1t is healthy
article OF food. and It is an important ad-
junct 10 the table, especially when pota.
toes are scarce.

CheeliNkneSS.

Think moment OF the value OF cheer
falness.
Addison tells us that ''cheerfuness Is
that which keeps up kind of daylight
in the mind. and fills it with steady and
perpetual serenity"
For the man himself there can be no
moro valuable endowment. 1t enthrones
man in sclf-mastery. The joy OF the
Spirit indicates its strength says Emer-
son. II one be in cheerful temper, the
faculties work well and easy; the imagi-
nation is clear; the judgment Is quick
and strong; there are no huge distorted
shadows OF iorebodings; the evils OF life
but spot it here and there, like shades OF
clouds flung down upon q landscape In
some day in summer, but constantly
overcome by the stronger sunshine. So
the soul is masteriul. "Be of good
cheer" Paul said TO the shipwrecked
mariners, and with PauIs good cheer
within their hearts, they were mightier
than the tempest. A man brayely cheer
ful conpels the clangor OF external cir
cumstances into chime with his own
strong and ordered heart.
Bat when you look at man in his re-
lationS 10 others. such inward daylight
gains an added value. There is no help
like its help. A sunny heart is like The
sun. light itself and shedding light. "A
merry heart doeth good like a medicine"
says the proverb. All of US have met
people whose simple presence was inspi-
ration and benediction. They changed
the blues to brightness. When they
came tho east wind would veer around
into refreshing west wind. How sunny
such sunny heart makes a home |! You
may have the most elegant home posi-
BILE, you may make it enIicing with all
luxury, but you cannot keep your boys
ont OF the streets and from going To the
bad, unless you somehow light up in thai
home OF yours a genial cheer. There is
no such home magnet as cheerful heait.
| remember brilliant woman, taseinAt-
ing in company, but at home moody and
pining and glum with discomfort, and
the result an alienated husband and
shattered home.
And there is many Il wife working
away with dull heart and listless hands
at the long routine OF household care,
whose home and duty have become
kind of prison. chill and damp. because
the husband brings but ashes 10 the
household hearth instead OF glowing
cheer. A lew thoughtful. appreciatiye
words from kindly heart with q loving
cheer would change that prison 10 pal
ace. Cheerfulness is ike Christ, it can
not help going about aud doing good.
And when you think of man not alone
in himself, nor only as he stands towards
others, but also as he stands tOUard God,
this bright cheer OF heart gains an added
value still. For cheerfulness toward God
is thankfulness. II is habitual gratitude.
/, is contentment with the divine allot-
ment and thanksgiving for it. 1t Is in
possible to be thankful unless the heart
be cheerful with the faith that what God
does is right and best and wise.
Let US, every one, try 10 move toward
this inward daylight - cheerfulness -
