Farm Notes.

1t is claimed by those engaged in
agitating the road question in Tennes-
see that bad roads cause the farmers
of that state a direct loss of 100000
annually.
SkimmiIk and young calves and pigs
make a combination that grows into
money rapidly. If the dairy does not
pay, it may be because a portion of this
combination is lacking.
More money is lost by feeding pigs too
long than by selling too early. AS soon
as they are in good condition it is a pref
ty safe thing to let them go if the mar
ket is at all suitable.
The only safe plan in winter feeding
is to measure and weigh everything that
is consumed. keeping strict account Of
it. This is the only method by which
profit or loss can be accurately determin-
ed.
In sheep breeding aim to secure these
three points: Mutton, Of the best quail
ity possible, and as much as you can
have on each single carcass; a good
thick fleece, and fecundity. When these
are obtained you have about all that can

The Three Troubles.

A clever and charming old lady at a

my dears, you wonder that nothing
ever seems to annoy me. Some people,
you know, have their trouble three
times q used to have)-f1ISt in antici-

Weak CoIDOiaS

Weak colonies of bees should not be
Wintered anywhere under any circI1m-
stances, for the reason that they are
not worth Wintering. If a colony be
weak at the beginning of winter, it
will be weaker if not dead, in the
spring. Before the first flow of honey
comes the colony must be strong, not
only in bees, but in future bees-bees
III the brood cOmbs-the hives crowded
and running over with workers. if anv
profit is to be obtained In short. the
early spring is not the time to begin
to lay the fOunda ton of summer
strength. This must be done in the
fall, and then, really, the growth of
the colony begins anew. In the fall,
if there are twenty weak colonies let
them be united, if it takes the twenty
to make enc colony. One strong boom
ing colony may do more the next year
than the twenty, as far as profit is
concerned, affirms a correspondent of
the Country Gentleman.

A Matter of Courtesy.

Stoelman: Among all the advances
which we as people, and as a genera
ton, are making, we are apt to imbide
the idea that it is impossible for us to
do anything else than be superior to
those who have gone before us. But
in some very important things we have
been retrogressive Without mention
ing these in general, would speak of
one in particular, namely, according
honor and respect to elders. This may
seem a small thing but it is sufficient
to show the trend of thought and &C
ton This beautiful courtesy of youth
and health to age and frailty is often
I almost said neutrality-suspicious. UP
in the narrow selfishness which is be-
coming such a common trait Of charac-
ter. We see most of this lack of cOur-
tesy on our public conveyanceS. We
think that men are boorish who will
rush into railroad carriage or street
ear, and occupy the seats and allow us
to Standard such they certainly are;
but we younger women often forget
that it is possible for US to be boorish,
too. The young woman who will keep
her seat and allow an old person to
stand, whether he be rich or poor, has
neither the instincts nor the attributes
of lady This is only one of many
ways in which this idea may come to
the surface, but it will be suggestive
to the thinking mind, and may set
some one right.

MORE THAN BEAUTIFUL.

She had not beauty, such as some,
OF profile fair and radiant face.
That strike the startled senses dumb:
But rather It's the modest grace
That comes from gentleness of heart,
OF days all shaped by good intent,
OF goodness, that, beyond all art,
\ beauty of its own has lent.
Men do not kneel before her shrine:
No trophies at her feet are set
She is no beauty pledged in wine,
No Helen fair, or Juliet.
And yet to us she is most dear.
Who know how in her quiet life
She nobly fills the varied sphere
OF mother, sister, friend and wife.

Many years ago when sailing ships
were the only means o communication
between the different countries SuperSti-
ton was more rife among sailors than
ut the present time says Harper's Young
People. These absurd fancies were
not confined to Jack alone, but they
were shared in to Il greater or less ex-
tent by shipmasters and owners. Fri
day was considered a day of evil, and
the most maligant results were sup
posed to attend a voyage commenced
on this day of the week. In those times
he would indeed have been a reckless
skipper who would have attempted to
sail on this ill-Omented day, for the
crew would have broken out in open
rebellion, rather than lift the anchor
from the bottom or cast off shore moor
ings.
Since the advent of steam many Of
these prejudices have become as direlict
as the ships on which they We're once
entertained.
A true story is told of a Sceptical Mas
sachusetts captain who, way back in
the early years of the republic, deter
mined to exhibit the fallacy of this par
ticular superstition. He contracted on a
certain Friday for the building of a ship,
and it was arranged that the keel of
this vessel was laid on Friday, that she
was launched on Friday, named Fri
day, commenced loading on a Friday,
and hauled into the stream on the same
Wnnl< D6 To hn
bilities of disaster, a negro cook named
Friday was engaged; and thus fully
frighted with the sinister name, the
Friday sailed on a Friday, bound for q
port in the West Indies. From that
day to this no tidings of the ill-condi-
toned craft have been received. But
those of us who like Friday for various
reasons, but chiefly because it leads up
to Saturday, upon which day schools
are closed, will be pleased to hear that
it is not half so unlucky day as Mon
day, the day school opens again. A
German statistician, feeling that Friday
had been a much-maligned day, deter
mined to make a scientific investigation
of the matter, and has found that it is
not Friday, but Monday, that is the
most unfortunate of the weekdays. Ac-
cording to his Investigations 1914 per
cent. of all accidents occur on Monday,
1851 per cent. on Tuesday, 1851 per
cent. on Wednesday. 15,47 per cent. on
Thursday, 1888 per cent. on Friday,
1888 per cent. on Saturday, and only
2.69 per cent on Sunday. SO, you see,
Friday isn't so bad a day after all

Moths in HaRhiyeS

W. +. Clark, of Guelph, Ont. cites
as Il strong point in favor of italian
bees that they are rarely troubled nv
moths, and even a moderately STRONG
colony of this race will clean them ont
most effectually. If through careless
ness and neglect on the part of the bee
keeper colony has become mOth-in-
tested, the bees and any combs not
affected should be transferred to an
other hive after which the old hive
should be well sulphured; then by civ
ing one or two at Il time of the moth

in sight, they will be cleansed and used.
The enfeebled colony may be strength

II necessary, a good young vigorous
queen. 1t may be added that moths
and other evils in Bookkeeping NAV be

The Ideal Wife,

There was a man named Hibbs who
bought a farm, built a large stately
dwelling at the end Of a long shady
avenue Of naples and settled down
to enjoy the comfort and independence
Of a farmers life.
He built a coy little barn of logs and
shingled it with clapbOards.
There was another man Of the name
of Hubbs, who bought a farm in the
same neighborhoOd, built a coy little
dwelling of logs, shingled it with clap
boards and settled down to the hard,
grinding monOtony Of a farmers life.
This man built a large stately barn
at the end of long shady avenue Of
naples.
At the end of ten years Hibbs' big
house had broken him up.
And Hubs big barn had enabled him
to buy Hibbs' stately dwelling for about
half price and move it over on his own
farm.
Hubs has a big dwelling and a big
barn and represents his county in the
state legislature.
Hibbs has a little log cabin and lit
tie log stable and is trying to sell out to
Hubs. He wants to quit farming and
travel with peddling wagon.-Chicago

Rest.

Christian World: There are no weary
heads or aching hearts in the heavenly
Canaan. Here there is toll. But the
rest promised us will be all he sweeter
for the toll. We know this by the ex-
perience we have in the round of life.
How refreshing the rest of the evening
after the days labor! 1t will be the
same after the battle of life. A dying
warrior said, let us go over the river
and rest under the shade of the trees ~
Blessed hope inspired in our hearts by

myself to fret over things 1 cannot

two, every day of my life; by never
