The new man is alive to the useful and
does not forget the beautiful, He takes pride
in the good appearance of his family, his build
ings, his horses and cattle, his crops, in fact
progress" is the talisman by which he means
to conquer. Next year he will try to come
nearer the ideal than he has this. He will be
more devoted to his family, he will be the
gallant he was when he was courting his wife.
How shall we measure the possibilities of life
when we are awakened to their importance.
1t is not all Of life to live, to drift, Ito eat,
drink and be merry" there are too many in
fuenced by what we do. We are producers
Of either good OF evil.
''To make-it is to rule world
OF genius own creation.
To toil-it is to beautify
For times Perpetuation."
When the new man" has come to his
kingdom, he will demonstrate to the world,
that man is a reasoning being and will prac-
tice the many graces. In youth he will be
strong, wise in old age. Vice will not waste
will rise up and call him blessed and his wife
will praise him in the gates"
QUERY DRAWER.
Why do you split the bark on your cher
ry treeS Referred to H. A. Holibaugh.
Ans.-I do 1t to prevent its bursting;

for pear or apple trees; thinks it Injuries
the latter.

deep 1t will not hurt the pear tree.

blight She was referred Ia the paper on
that subject in last years report, by NJ.
Bitter.
j. X. Mcdowell recommends Sitting
the bark of trees-not wholly on one side
of the tree, but making short slits on
different sides of the tree, so that should
the wood crack at one slit, it would only
be short and not extend far down the tree.
