1t should be an important part Of the
education of every child to form within
him q true and worthy conception Of
heroism, and to enable him to recognize
it wherever it exists. Too often his
only idea of it is found in the sensa.
tiOnal romance, or in the examples
around him of men who, for praise or
glory or gain. will do daring deeds and
manifest a physical bravery, often at a
fearful cost to their fellowmen. Let US
give him truer ideal and afford him a
higher example.

The way hogs come to the Kansas

the receipts were nearly 10000 in one
day, the largest January receipts since
1891. To be SURE the quality of many

To Make Good Coffee.
Remember In making coffee:
That the same favor will not suit
every taste.
That everyone can be suited to a
nicely by properly blending two or
more kinds.
That equal parts Of Mocha, Java and
Rio will be relished by a good many
people.
That q mild coffee can be made dan
gerously strong and still retain the
mildness of favor.
That the favor is improved II the
liquid is turned from the dregs as soon
as the proper strength has been OBJ
tanned.
That where the percolation method is
used the coffee should be ground very
fine or the strength will not be extract
ed.
That il the ground coffee is put into
the water and boiled it should be rather
coarse, otherwise it will invariably be
muddy.
That a good coffee will always COM
mand a fair price; but that all high
priced coffees are not necessarily of
high quality.
That in serving, the cups and cream
should be warm; the cream should be
put in the cup before the coffee is put
In, but it is immaterial when sugar is
added.
That q level teaspoonful Of the
ground coffee to each cup is the stand
ing allowance, from which deviation
can be made in either direction, accord
ing to the strength desired.-The

Varieties of Corn.
There have been as great changes in
the type Of corn as in any kind of cul-
tivated plant. In New England and
most of the Northern States flint corn
is almost exclusively grown as a field
crop. For the garden, and to some ex-
tent for general purposes, sweet corn
and popcorn are grown. We have
known farmers to have popcorn ground
for meal, and they said that when
cooked it was sweeter and better than
that from flint corn. The popcorn grain
is so snail that it is seldom injured in
curing. Sweet corn is, to some extent,
grown as food for milk cows. The
stalks, If cut early, are sweeter than
those Of ordinary corn. They are,
therefore, more palatable and more nu-
tritious.
The Dent corn is mostly grown in
the West and South. Its stalks are
coarser and less palatable for stock.
Western people think the Dent corn
makes better corn bread than does the
Eastern flint corn, but our idea is that
the flint corn is the best for all pur-
poses. The weight of stalks of flint
corn is less per acre, but the Yield by
weight of the grain is larger than the
average of that grown at the West.
Still, when an Eastern farmer wants
to grow the largest possible yield OF
corn, he is apt to select some OF the
early Dent varieties to make trial
with. That shows his belief that it is
the greater care which flint corn usu-
ally gets that explains it's greater aver
age NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Press.
Losing Use of Land.
Small fruit growers ought to fertillZe
their land thoroughly, and when this is
done they should keep it always pro-
ducing something. If the strawberry
patch is running out, either the red OF
black cap raspberry can be planted be-
tween the rows. In this way the year
after the strawberry plantation is cul'
tivated under the raspberry canes will
be in full bearing. 1t is the same with
the larger fruits. A young apple OF
pear orchard will grow strawberries
raspberries and blackberries nearly as
well as If the orchard were not planted
until it gets fully into bearing.

Truck Farming.


A truck farm may pay $500 per acre,
or as much as $500. according to the
crop grown upon it. 1t may cost more
for labor and fertilizers compared with
regular farming, but the area cultivated
will be much less and the soil will be
left in better condition. Improved i'm

less difficult than when the hoe, spade
and rake were relied upon entirely.

for which the company is to receive

Of the contract is in the Magdalena NV

is CO operative one, similar to the To-

of stock to the amount OF 500 before
he is entitled to the advantages sought
to be gained. The company has agreed
to pay the Colombian government a GER
