HINTS ON CHEERFULNESS.

"Cheer" and comfort" There are
always chances in life to do both, for
turn where you will there are those who
are in need of help. Not always bodily
help. Often those who have every
earthly thing thsy need-shelter, money,
food, clothing, books, all sorts Of oppor-
tunities-are in want of the heavenly
things which "cheer" and comfort
mean. They are depressed, low in their
spirit, sad. and troubled. They are even
cross and disagreeable because they are
unhappy. To such persona young peo
pie, with bright faces and light -hearts,
can bring both the cheer that gives
courage and the comfort that takes away
pain. You haven't to do anything in a
grand heroic fashion either. Simply be
yourselves, and let the gladness that is
in you bubble up and overflow. and you
will make tired people happier.
Two school girls sat behind me in a
car, the other day, chatting together in
low voices and laughing immoderately
every few minutes at the happenings of
their day. Bless them, the sweet, gay,
merry-hearted creatures. The car
seemed lonesome after they reached
their station. and went tripping along
the road up the long hill to their home
out of sight from my point Of view. Just
be yourselves, dears, and you will make
older people happy. I sent loving little
word of thanks after my school girls, for
they had been help to me.
One afternoon, passing church on
city street, read this announcement on
a bulletin board at the door: "The Pleas
ant Words Society will meet at four
o'clock" Wasn't that fine? The "pleas-
ant words" society! Whatever we think
of, however we feel, we may speak pleas
antly, our words and our tones being in
our own control. The effort to speak
pleasantly will usually cause us to feel
pleasant, and it is pleasant people-peo-
pie who please-who get together and
form societies and clubs. Who ever
heard of a Faultfinders' Society or
Cross Words Society? Fretful fault
finders have to sit in corners alone

The Bridal Carriers.

At all times garters have been con-
sidered very important details Of wom-
ans dress and always associated in some
manner with matrimony. Down through
half dozen centuries comes to US the
custom practiced today of having the
garters as finishing touch to brides
toilet. The particular girl friend who
is permitted to slip them into place is
conceded to stand the best possible
chance of wedding happily before twelve
months are out.
A prospect of near and blissful matri-
mony is also shared by the friend who
secures the privilege of making brides
garters, the proper pattern for which is

was borne, still smiling and raptur-
ously, into the house, refreshments
were served.
How good things tasted out in that
appetizing and bracing airl There
were lobster and chicken salads with
crisp green lettuce leaves; thin sand
wiches piled on clover garnished
plates, flaky biscuits, golden sponge
loaves, light cream-puffs, and huge
uncapped Strawberries which We
dipped in sugar and ate with our
fingers. Iced drinks satisfied our
thirst, and, last, of all, appeared the
individual forms of pink and white
ices, each laid on a green saucer,
clover leaf in shape.
When the dew began to fall we re-
paired to the veranda. The French
windows, opening down to the floor,
were wide open, and inside of one of
these was the piano. Soon from out
the gloom of the room came the pre-
Jude to song, which was warbled to
a ripping accompaniment The sing
er had clear, sweet, girlish voice,
and we checked our chat to catch the
distinctly enunciated words of "The
Glover Song"
II wonder what the clover thinks,
Intimate friend of bobolinks.

Then the key changed, and softly
sweet came the words:
''Sweet by the road side, sweet by rills,
Sweet in the meadows. sweet on hills
Sweet In its white, sweet in its red,
Oh, half its sweet cannot be said;
Sweet in its every living breath,
Sweetest, perhaps, at last. in death.

STOCK.

The difference in profit between

ready for market, is often 100 per cent.
in favor of the better stock, while it has
certainly given more satisfaction in it's
care and feeding. The sale of stock or
its products should be the farmers chief
source of income.
On farm where variety of crops is
grown everything can be fed out to
better advantage if there be a variety
of stock. 1t is an item that the risks of
loss are lessened, and the varied stock
and their products can be made the
most of; but the variety must be in
kind, not in quality.
American farmers lose their courage
when times grow harder. and add to
their own destruction by dropping back
to poorer stock. The European farmer
improves his herds, whatever the condi-
tions. We have millions of scrub stock
which have not paid for the raising,
while high grades are sure of little
profit at all times.
From the lessons of the depressions
grand results must follow. Thrifty far
mers will now make thrifty farms out of
those long ago deserted, for intensive
farming. improved stock and improved
breeding bring results which find a mar
ket ready waiting at our doors Wheat,
corn and oats may be low, but it pays
to raise good stock to which to feed
them.
1t may be because of their moist eli.
mate, but English farmers get good re.
suits from stacking ensilage outside with
some weight and protecting cover.
Wheat cut in this way and stacked
makes fine stock feed; stacking few
feet each day. allowing it to settle, it
keeps sweet.
The quality of every kind of live stock
product the feeder may have to put
upon the market depends much upon
proper and intelligent feeding. Even the
wool which comes from the sleeps back
is good, bad or Indifferent according to
the manner in which it has been fed.
An English remedy for bloating, which
is the enlargement of the stomach by

DAIRY.

Fine butter knows no breed. The only
question with man possessing fine
herd of native cows is. can he make as
much butter? Can he afford to keep a
cow yielding 3 per cent of fat when the
same care and pasturage would bring
him per cent from thoroughbred?
Ever aim at better bred dairy, if for
no other reason than that the surplus
stock will sell for much better figures,
and that the heifers raised are certain to
show higher grade of excellence. There
will be fewer COWS not worth the keep.
ing.
Do not wait for the arrival of the best
before making the start to do better.
The doing the best with what one has is
the best preparation one can have for
doing the best when the "best" arrives.
This is an especially valuable maxim
with herd Of cows, and is the best
school to which one can go.
Let us not forget that if herd of Jer-
seys get no better treatment than the
natives had before them. they will pro.
badly give no better return. To be most
profitable there must be a radical inn
provement in methods of feeding and
caring for finer stock.
Cows cannot yield butter fat without
suitable materials from which to make
it, and cattle capable of producing them
can not use the coarse fare of the lower
grades of stock to good advantage.
Neither can they withstand the expos
ure which common stock endures with
discomfort and injury.
If our COWS are to have short rations
and little care it will be we'll to keep
those which can stand that kind Of
treatment, and the same rule applies to
all other classes of domestic animals.
Improvement in breed is useless unless
there is improvement in the care of them

reduces the temperature of the stomach
and condenses the gas, favoring its es.
cape by eructation or through the
bowels.
We are now all ready to assert that
there is no profit in feeding poor stock;
that it costs just as much to feed and
house and handle it as it does to care for
good stock. We should learn Just as
well the other lesson that it is just as
Improbable to breed from such stock as
to feed it.
The best variety of corn for the silo is
always the largest growing variety
which will mature. Such varieties as
the Leaning are recommended where
the climate is suitable, but it takes all
OF 100 days for it to mature. In short
season there is danger of missing the
mark altogether.
The Jerusalem artichoke has long been
an important item of agriculture in
some parts of Europe. All animals seem
fond of the tubers, and they are said to
be more nourishing than mangolds.
Sheep fatten upon them rapidly, and are
fond of them. They are cultivated like
potatoes, and yield from five up to twenty
tons or more an acre.
Bees are valuable not only for their
products, but because they also serve as
active agents in the fertilization of
plants. They gather and store up that
which would be entirely lost without
their aid; they work in places rarely
seen, and the fence-corner and neglected
spots are often their most valued pas.
lures.
Ii you contemplate building stock
barn after harvest. do not fail to so con-
struct it that when filled next winter
the temperature shall never fall below
the freezing point. Then you will not
have to feed so much corn for fuel to
keep up the animal heat as you have in
the winters past.
The best products from live stock are
obtained only by the strictest attention
to the food given. Gilt edged butter of
the highest flavor demands the best and
cleanest Of feeding stuffs. Nor does the
best pork or poultry come from filthy
pens and diet washy and unnutritious
scraps.
IL the cows and other stock are to be
carried along without loss of flesh dur
ing the drouth periods, small patch of
land made particularly rich for soiling
crop must be provided. Such a crop is
the best paying one on the farm.
Cheap hogs, cattle and sheep and dear
corn cannot last long; it is not natural
state of affairs. Farmers who are so
fortunate as to raise large crops of corn,
and then had to buy stock to which to
feed it, have sold that stock at a loss.
Fifty cent corn and the short supply of
marketable animals must quickly i'm
prove prices henceforth.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

A few years ago the German system of
education turned out large number of
impracticables. Many of them were ex-
ports in different departments of classic
study. 1t is said that one German spent
his entire life on the ablative case in
Greek. The German type of instruction
fo- many years was the ideal type of
American schools and colleges. The
consequence was that we sent out from
our institutions large number of men
with no practical sense, or trained heads
or hands. The supply was greater than
the demand. Out of this idea, not only
in Germany, but in England, and, we
may say, all over Europe as well as in
our own country, manual training and
technical schools were evolved. Practi-
cal business men saw that something
must be done to give the world men
trained in practical things. TWAS read
lily seen that trained hand meant to a
very great extent trained intellect,
hence philosophical educators could
readily see that drawing and art in
struction led to development of PER.
ception, imagination, memory, judgment
and reasoning.
While all work and study ultimately
tend to the development of the mind, it
was also found that by judicious arrange
ment boys could be taught ioinery,
turning, pattern making molding, forg-
ing, bench and machine shop work, and
that while they were being taught this
their minds were being disciplined by
attention. patience. promptness, accu-
racy, self control, courage, and every
other power requiring an exercise of will.
1t was also found that girls could be
taught sewing dressmaking, millinery,
designing, the combination Of colors, of
cookery, and wood carving, and thus
every intellectual power as we'll as those
of the will were also developed. while
the girls themselves were made self-de-
pendent as we'll as independent. The
coming man and woman is to be pro-
