Cattle Raising.

The raising of cattle for beei
purposes is one of the most profita-
bic branches of farming. But with
most formers it might be made
much more profitable than it is
Instead of raising scrub steers that
weigh when fatted, a thousand
pounds or under, farmers should
raise those that run up to LOGO
pounds or more. Buyers pay
more per pound for such steers.
They are more profitable to ship.
The beef of such animals sells bet
ter. To get this weight, the Short
horn breed should be used to grade
up the stock. This breed also ma
lures early. The very large export
of beef that is going on, and the
prospects tor increased demand in
that direction, should cause farmers
to extend as far as they can their
facilities for cattle raising. The
Rural World has long recommend
ed cattle raising also as a means of
keeping up the fertility of the farm,
rs feeding out upon the farm,
what is raised upon it will keep it
in good condition.

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
Let Them Alone,

Never try to rob any one of his
good opinion of himself 1t is the
most cruel thing you can do. More
over, 1t is by no means doing as YOU
would be done by. Crush a wo
mans self-esteem, and You make
her cross grained and snappish. Do
the same to q man and YOU only
make him mOrose. You may mean
TO create a sweet humble creature,
but you'll never do it. The people
who think best of themselves are
apt TO be best. Women grow pretty
in believing they are so, and fine
qualities often crop out after one
has been told she has them. 1t
only gratifies a momentary spite to
force your own unfavorable opinion
of him deep into another's mind. 1t
never did any good. All! if this
world, full of ugly people and awk-
ward people, of silly people and
vain people, knew their own def
ciencies, what a sitting in ckcloth
and ashes we should have! The
greatest of all things that man
can possess is a satisfactory iden-
THY. If that which he calls ''P'
pleases him, it Is well with him, 9th
erwise, he is utterly wretched. Let
your fellow beings alone; hold no
truthful mirrors before their ewes,
unless with a pure intention to up
root sin. So may a mirror without
a flaw never be prepared for you. In
thOee things which we cannot help,
may we ever be blind to our own
shortcomings. We are neither ugly
nor awkward, nor uninterestIng TO
if we do not know it. A
fool may have the wisdom of Solo
mon in his own conceit. Let him
be, and the path to the grave will
be easier for him to tread; you will
be worse, he no better. Leave every

About Sweet Potatoes.

AdvIces from all parts of the
country report a large yield OF
sweet potatoes and of good quality.
How to keep them through the
winter is the perplexing question
The largest and most successful
grower of this State says the plan,
next best to properly constructed
cellars "a thing difficult to have in
most PARTS of this section because
of the water seeping into them
when dug) is to erect lattice es
cape fue six or eight feet high,
upon slightly elevated platte of
ground, we'll drained and around
this fue pile the potatoes in a con-
zeal shape in quantities of not more
than fifty bushels in one pile,
throw over them a covering of dry
straw, to a depth of three or more
inches, and cover with earth, lat first
lightly and then deeper as the cold
weather comes on, to depth to eff
tectually prevent the potatoes get
ting chilled. A she'd must 0e built
over the heap, and care taken to
cover the top Of the fiue with straw
in cold weather. Our informant
says potatoes will keep this way
about as well as in cellars,seed pota
toes equally as well. The utmost
care should be exercised when get
ting out potatoes for use that the
pile is not chilled. Also great care
exercised in digging, and hauling
to the heap-every bruised or cut
potato should he excluded from the
potatoes put away 10 keep Elk.

Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Catching Cold.

Youths Companion: Colds are
among the unsolved medical prob
lens. They used to be thought tC
be due to the suppression OF the
( excretions of the skin; but this
takes place whenever the surfaces
arc exposed. 1t is a fact, too, that
men and animals may be vanished
without producing the symptoms
of cold.
Still, the ordinary medical view
is that, the passage of eftete matter
being checked, the blood is altered
in character. The corrupted blood
then in its turn affects the heart
regulating apparatus.
A cold is a slight fever. 1t be-
gins with a chilly sensation, follow
ed by heat. The fever runs its
course in a day or two. Like 9th
er fevers, however, it may have va
rious plications. Hence rheu
matte pains, head ache, nasal ca
tarrh, sore throat, catqrrh of the
intestines, herpes labialis--erup
tions around the mouth.
Sweating, whether by medicines
administered internally or other
wise, is the main reliance for hast
ening cure. But the pores should
be kept somewhat open by warm
or the heat of a warm
room, for several days, during
which there should be no exposure

The Lords Prayer.

Did you ever think, short though
1t Is, how much there is in it? Oh
it is beautiful! Like a diamond in
The crown of queen, it unItes q
thousand sparkling gems in one.
1t teaches all of US, every one of
us, to look to God as our parent
Our Father.
1t prompts US to raise our desires
and thoughts above the earth
Who art in heaven.
1t tells us that we must rever-
ence our Heavenly Father-Hal-
lowed be Thy name.
1t breathes the saints reward
Thy Kingdom come.
And submissive, obedient spirit
Thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven.
And dependent, trusting spirit
US this day our daily bread.
And fOrgiving spirit-Forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us.
And cautious spirit-Deliver US
from evil.
And last of all, an adorino spirit
For Thine is the kingdom, and
the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

It Makes Trouble.

drapery and stephenOtis should
come to see you two or three times

mustache, etc. etc, don't you think

When Did the Tomato ARRIVE.

r Boston Transcript: Noticing an
article in your paper containing an
account OF the first eating of the
tomato in this country, desire to
correct your correspondent "Sea
weed" In 1898, and several years
subsequently, Capt. Phineas Ed
ridge resided on Carpenter street.
west of Fourth street, Philadelphia.
During 1898, a Frenchman named
Nicalo left San Domingo with his
family, consisting of wife and two
children, and occupied the adioIn-
ing property. He brought with
him several varieties of vegetable
seed, which were planted, and in
lapse of time grew and bore fruit.
Among them was a tomato, which
he dressed as a Said, and which
was relished by Mr.. Eldrige's fami-
ly. The neIghbors procured the
seed ami raised them as an orna-
ment, having the impression that
they were poisonous. Tomatoes
were used in New Orleans as an ar
ticle OF food in 1912; they we're
sold in Philadelphia markets as
early rs 1929.

The Right Sort Of Men.

From the British Quarterly: You
will find, as rule, that the men
who are favoTtes with men are the
best and Jruest in their relations
to women. Yes, the men who like
sometimes to turn their backs on
all women and go Off with the
other fellows" and have a good,
boyish time on the water, or the
| mountain, or in some other man S
eden" Women need never be
afraid to trust their happiness to
those whom other good men es
TEEN good fellows; but if a man is
avoided by men, however much
women admire him, shun him. 1t
is ne who has flirtatious that come
to nothing, and has mot been very
nice" to the girls who have broken
their engagements with him, who,
when he marries, wrings his wife's
heart, if she has one, and spoils her
temper if she is naturally an angel.
Manly men are the best lovers, the
best husbands, the best companions
Tor women, just as as womenly wo
men are the best sweethearts and
wives. What do we think of wo.
men who shun their own sex, how
ever charming men may find them? |
1t is seldom, if ever, that your mem |
tavorite i'll uses his wife. Perhaps |
IL may be explained ID this way
friendship of a subimated sort is |
what love becomes after a year or
so of marriage, and he who is
friendly to the very depths of his
soul enters into this state happily,
and is ready for all the delights
that follow. But a man who is in
capable Of nothing but that fleeing
which ever pursues new
object, and cares tor no woman
when she is won, hates the domes-
tic ties and becomes detestable in
1t is the man who
would die Tor his friend, who makes
a miraculously happy wife of the
woman TO whom lie scarcely knew
how TO make love when he courted
her.

A Wife that Will Wear.

z A certain sort of talent is almost

themselves to death; but the talent,

To dwell happily together they

The heart and born with faculty
for willing compromise. The woman
must be talented as a woman; she
must know the meter de femme and
must have fine touch for the afec-

that she should speak with the

for life than many other things

You can read Kant by yourself, if
you want to, but you must share a
joke with some one else. You
can forgive people who do not fol
