Golden Days: There ought to be so
cieties formed for the encouragement
OF laughter. A real laugh is not CON-
mon, for it must be remembered that
Il sucker is not a laugh. Foreigners
travelling in this country have more
than once commented upon the singular
gravity of Americans rs 4 race.
The Puritans were inclined To frown
upon laughter us frivolous, and there
fore wicked. Life was Il very grave
affair TO them, and an almost constant
struggle for existence. and they had
no time 10 make merry The first two
years. IITatlonS were many and the
Indians We're almost continually OIL the
Warpath. 1t is no wonder our fore
fathers rarely enjoyed Il hearty laugh.
Then came the revolution which WAS
certainly no laughing matter.
Perhaps all these wars troubles and
privationS may have liked gravity III
our national heart. Then it may he
that the idea was widely entertained
that it was undigniiied TO laugh. We
know that the eyes Of the world are
upon us, and it would never do to act
like children. Philosophers and cynics
sneer at laughter Goldsmith Cwho was
always iaughingl tells us Of 1.-The loud
laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
and the sconful Byron says: "And II
laugh at any moral thing, tbs that
may not weep"
Many people are afraid to laugh be-
cause they think it common; so they
repreSs their merTiment with smile.
They do wrong. Nature evidently in
tended for us to laugh, or children
would not know how Laughter Is
healthful and provocative Of good NOR
MS rs well as of good health. Hamlet
says that "one may smile, and smile.
and be a william.
TO smirk. grin, guffaw or smile. Is
not to laugh. A good, whole souled
hearty laugh is a panacea of many ills,
and worth doctors prescription.

I'itII Points.

A bare soil loses nitrogen; that rs
where the error comes in advocating "A
bare fallow to restore fertility.
Turn the straw, hay and fodder into
manure by way Of the stable and you
can increase your crops and get a profit
from the stock.
| The analysis of Il soil IL hardly Il sure
guide by which to crop it. A growing
! plant will find food enough for its
! needs where the chemist would hardly
| find Il trace.
| Nitrogen abOunds in soils that are Wen
| filled with humus or decayed Vegetable
matter. Keep up the green manuring.
IL you are a dairyman and need
more cows, and want to be sure Of good
ones, raise them. To depend on buying
is to turn the dairy into a lottery.
A acre Of clover will produce 800
pounds Of pork if prope rly pastured
with eight, good thrifty growing shoats
How can it be made to pay better, and
how can pork be made more cheaply?
Sell all the stock that Is ready for mar
ket before going into winter quarters
and winter feeding. Carry over only
SUCH dS are sure I'D Hlika SOOI gam
Butter, that has been properly made,
will not stick to the knife glade when
cut.
Moving biennial weeds only increases
their vigor. Cut them below the sur
face.
Weeds take the same substance from,
the soil that valuable plants do. Anal
ysis of the ash proves this.
A box stall is a good place to make
good manure and lots of it. Let it re-
main all winter, adding plenty of litter
to keep the surface dry and clean.
Extra tillage properly applied can be
made to pay SO a day. That is more
than you can make by hiring out to your
neighbor for your spare time
A farmer should never have any'spare-
time" The farm will afford duty for
every day and hour except such as
should be given to rest and recreation.

Little Things


Little words are the sweetest to hear;
little charities fly farthest and stay long,
est on the wing; little lakes are the
stillest; little hearts are the fullest; and
little farms are the best TILED. Little
books are the most read, and little songs
are the dearest loved. And when ma
ture would make anything especially
rare and beautiful, she makes it little
little pearls. little diamonds, little dews.
Agar's is a model prayer; but then 1t is
a little one, and the burden of the ped-
ton is for but little. The sermon on
the mount is little, but the last dedica-
ton discourse was an hour. Life Is
made up of Titles; death is what re-
mains of them all. Day is made up OF
little beams, and night is glorious with
little stars
