Travelling through the NOODLES regions Of
the level and levelheadcd West, one viii fly
past fields with fringes of young timber
growing finely along their northern borders.
As soon as the trees come to be of any size
they furnish an effective barrier to the freezing
influences Of the destructive billiards. Rail
way lines in the Northwest have also taken
the hint, and have planted miles Of young
trees upon the northern edge OF deep cuts, as
snow fences. They prevent as nothing else
can the filling up OF the cuts by drifts OF snow,
and the consequent stoppagc Of travel They
are, In addition, be~autifying the country and
increasing the moisture and rainfall, and
making the land more valuable.
Only n hint to the wideawnks farmer Is
needed.
He with a t~reeless farm Will plant young,
growing saplings in all parts OF his place,
in lines along the roadside, In clumps
around springs and r~ivulets, and for shade
beside his gateposts. Where there are no
trees at all, the rapidly7growing, ~soft-wooded
varieties may be planted at FIST. OF these
the soft maple, white pine, Norway
spruce and Scotch pine are among the best.
Even the much maligned silver poplar and
alanthus are very good for NOODLES farms.
Hnrd-wooded trees may also be planted, and
to maturity they can give place to their
slower-growthed, nobler brethren. But there
Is no finer sight anywhere than n belt OF
thickly-growing, splendid evergreens all along
the north side Of a farmers home, lawn, and
farmYard grounds. They are beautiful, and
Of immense benefit.

all find both profit and pleasure in the In

The only object. of IN advertisement is
to draw custom. 1t Is not and will
be designed for any other purpose. We
sometimes hear that people advertise in
order to help a newspaper, or in other
words they make the publisher a present
Of few dollars now and then; but we
are inclined to believe that this is a huge
Joke. Business men generally do not
lavish such iavors upon newspapers. We
have noticed that the merchants wait till
the busy season. and until ,isr;r stores
are so full Of customers that they can't go
to their meals, and then they rush to the
newspapers and put in their advertise
menL When the dull season comes along
and there is but little trade, and they
want to sell goods so bad, they take out
their advertisement That is, some of
them do; but occasionally a ~leyel-headed
merchant puts in a bigger one and scoops
all the business, while his neighbors have
hard work TO pay their rent. There are
times when you can't stop people from
buying everything in the store, if you
planted a cannon behind the door, and
that is the time the advertisement is sent
on It's holy mission. Il makes light work
for the advertisement. for a chalk mark
on the sidewalk could do all that was
needed; but who wants to favor an adyer-
tisement2 They are built to do hard
work, and should be sent out in the dull
days when a customer has to be knocked
down with hard facts before he will spend
a cent. That is the aim and end Of an
advertisement. Write this down where
you viii fall over il every day. The time
10 draw business is when you want bust
ness, and not when you have more bust
ness than you can attend to already.

For Putting Soil on worn-out Ground.
Here Is some practical advice written for
this column by one Of the best farmers we
ever knew:
Plow early in the spring and SOW plenty Of
oats and red clover seed and harrow in thor
oughly. Let 1t stand IS months. Don't har-
vest the oats, but let it rot on the ground. It
viii keep the clover FROM drying in autumn.
In the fall Of the second year pillow it up
again, SOW II in wheat, and In the spring fol-
lowing SOW clover again. After the wheat Is
harvested and threshed spread the straw on.
the same ground Each time before the
ground Is plowed 1 spread on a liberal por-
ton OF manure over the ground. II will
bring IL on much faster. II there are washes
/ put straw In the bottom 80 as to catch all
the fine dirt that hard rains wash down, then
brush and tramp it down, then put rock or
logs until 1t is nearly full. Next pillow up
and down on each side until the horses can
walk across 1t. But the best way when n
wash starts Is to stop with n handful Of
straw or weeds before II gets too large.

Recent experiments in the use of ex-
plosive projectiles are calculated to upset
all previous theories and experience in re-
gard to armored vessels, and even i'll re-
gard to the most elaborate Notifications.
Experiments made in Washington recently
showed that it is extremely doubtful
whether any defensive armor can stand
for a momen agains; the shells which
were used for that purpose.
The proiectiles which were tested at
these experiments were but six inches in
diameter, carrying explosive charges that
weighed only eleven pounds. These
charges were composed Of n~itrogelatine
which contains 95 per cent Of pure
nitroglycerinc. The distance of the tar
get was 1000 yards, or threc-ffths Of n
mile. The object selected for a
target was a perpendicular ledge
of trap rock. The first shell
struck the ledge near one end, exploding
by the coucussion, and shattered the face
Of the rock for thirty feet, piling up a
vastmass Of debris and throwing irag-
ments a long distance The second shell
struck the ledge in the center, and the
effect was appalling. 1t smashed the
surface of the rock over a diameter Of
thirty feet, excayaied a pit or crater six
feet deep. and hurled SOME Of the fag-
ments a distance Of half a mile. The
shells leii the gun clean and as safely as
round shot, aud they can be handled and
fired without danger to the force having
charge Of the gun, Il wa believed by
naval officers present that either shot
would have destroyed any wooden vessel
on the seas and would have seriously
damaeed the strongest iror-eIad. Tx
periments will be removed in q few days
with shells eight inches in diameter, and
carrying thirty pounds Of the explosive.
Frhis test was witnessed by a large num-
bero Of people. including the Russian min
lister and the military and naval attaches
Of the German, French and Italian lcga-
tons The trial was regarded as a success
in every respect, and attracted the most
serious attention Of these guests.

Here is what NJ. W. Y. Beach cleared off
one crop, even with wheat at Csc. a bushel.
first thing Mr.. Beach did, after building
a dwelling, was to erect a barn for machinery
and horses, 30x40 feet, also a barn 45x61 feet
with 20-foot posts, having a basement that
win accommodate 30 cows, and the barn will
store 100 tons of hay and 5000 bushels OF
grain. 1t Is provided with means for feeding
and water 30 that the stock does not have TO
20 outside. Last year he raised 800 acres OF
wheat, which cost, for everything, including
interest, taxes, wear and tear OF tools, etc.
s5,O15.03, or less than 37x cents per bushel.
This wheat was marketed at Duluth, and
netted the owner 90 cents per bushel. This
gave him a net gain OF 81, sl4.97.

+, CHILDREN IN THE STUDIO.
The Dlfloulty m Artist Experiences ir
Painting a Baby's Picture.

The Dlfiouity IN Artist Experiences in
Painting Baby's Picture.
A great many children come to my
studio to have their portraits painted.
If they are old enough to talk and ask
questions, they wish to look at my
easel and at my palette. The easel is
sort of standing frame, which has
movable shelf to hold the canvas on
which the picture is painted, and
crank, by turning which you can raise
or lower the shelf.
Then the palette is thin mahogany
board with a hole for the thumb, so
that may hold it easily and a handful
of brushes as well. On my palette /
put fourteen colors, squeezing them out
Of little tin tubes, in which they are
put up and sold to artists.
When the palette is ready and the
canvas on the easel, am ready to be-
gin. At first, perhaps during all tho
first sitting, / only play with the little
child, or get his little brother or sister
to play with him until / see some ma
tural and pretty movement that Is
picturesque. l like best to paint two
children together, because that seems
TO me the most natural way. So soon
as / have seen n position that / like,
l persuade baby to sit in a little chair
made fast on table-a "throne we
painters call thigh enough for
me to see his face opposite mine,
while / stand and walk back
ward often,- to get the right view
Of baby and Of the picture. l have TO
keep two things in mind; first, to paint
the portrait; secondly, how to amuse
the baby. If he is very little, we gen.
orally make believe that am horse
| tie the reins around nay waist and
baby drives me. When wish to see
him laugh, / caper about like very
wild horse; sometimes am an omnibus
horse, and stop every minute to take up
passengers, and whenever we stop run
to my canvas and try to put in a good
touch. Sometimes, II baby will keep
very still for two or three minutes, re-
ward him by being saddle-horse, and
take him on my back for gallop about
the studio. All this does not seem to
leave much time to paint, and that is
just the difficulty. II made baby sit
in his chair, tired and worried, he might
look cross, and his papa and mamma
would find my portrait ugly. They
would say ! had not "caught his sweet
expression and other people would
not ask. me to paint their children. That
would be very bad for me; therefore, be
1t ever so difficult to romp and play and
paint all at once, / have learned that
with patience it can be done.-Annd

with some of her friends the day before,
and when they shouted the sound was
repeated, sometimes in one syllable, at
other times in two. Her question was
this: "Can, more than two .syilables
ever be heard as an echop' ~ F
Grandpa replied that, ''when several
parallel surfaces are properly suited tho
echo may repeat backward and forward
many times. For instance, in Virginia
there is an echo which is said to return
twenty notes played upon a flute, and
at Woodstock, Eng, there is one which
repeats seventeen syllables by day and
twenty by night When the exclama-
ton, 'hap is quickly and sharply
spoken, there returns back a 'ha, ha,
har"
The last question was from Willie.
He was growing, hungry boy, and
could not believe that persons might
suffer more from thirst than from hun
ger,
HE writes "Grandpa. is water moro
important to life than food? l have
eaten five meals since yesterday morn
ing, and haven't drinked drop of
water; now, l am not thirsty one bit,
but ! feel as though l could eat two
meals at once"
"You may not have drinked clear
water" replied grandpa, 'for two days.
but do you not take milk with every
mealP and haven't you eaten apples,
melons, potatoes and turnips since
yesterday morningp"
eyes, SIR" replied Willie.
"Well," said grandpa, "all OF these
things contain great amount OF water,
and that accounts for your not being
thirsty. Our bodies are composed most
ly of water, and will suffer extremely IL
1t is not supplied in some manner.
Water is so plenty that we do not real
ize its worth. Eliza Cook well says:
Traverse the desert and then ye can tell
What treasures exist IN the cold, deep we'll;
Sink In despair on the red parched earth,
And then ye may reckon what water Is
worth
"God has made water very abundant
because He knows our need of it from
day to day. Did you ever notice how
often water is spoken of in the BibleP
Moses brought it from a rock, Samuel
from jaw bone; Elijah, by prayer to
God, brought water from the clouds"
The tall clock in the hall now struck
the hour of four, and, after grandpa
had repeated his request in regard to
bringing the frog upon the next Satur-
day, he dismissed his school.
Little reader, just go and ask your
grandpa to teach school like Grandpa
Browns. 1 am sure you will like it as
well as his grandchildren did.-Mrs @.

and second premiums. Numerous
domestic utensils were also exhibited.

of war toggery were displayed. One
curious article was an Indian wooden
pillow, an exact counterpart Of those
used two thousand years ago in the

enough, the Indians also took the first
