WHY MEN SHOULD BE BACHELORS

An EngIishman Wins Prize for
Writing Twelve Good Reasons.
An English publication recently of
fered a prize for twelve best reasons
why man should remain bachelor.
The prize was awarded to MI. Sam
uel Bachelor, whose contribution is
given below:
1. If man is naturally selfish, for
goodness sake let him always look
after No. 1.
>. If his mother is the best cook in
the world, let him stop with her
3. If, whenever he opens lis mouth,
he is always putting his foot i'll it, he
had better never propose to girl.
4. If he thorough miser, it were
better for him to remain singular-ly
miSer- able.
5. If he is generally a wOman-hater,
let him become hermit in the Isle Of
Man.
g. If he detests children and calls
them pests he is evidently uncivilized
and unworthy to frequent the haunts
Of civilized community.
Z. If physically and constitutionally
untitled for matrimony, it is nothing
y
g. If a man is blessed with Il good
sister to whom he is very unkind and
even cruel, he is certainly unsuitable
for a partner to any one else's sister.
8. If a man is earning less salary
than the woman whom he might care
to marry is earning, let him not marry
her.
TO- If man would be likely to pre-
fer after marriage the company Of club
associates and the pleasures Of the
billiard table to the sweet companion-
ship of Il wife and the lallOwed hap
ness of home, let him refrain from
thinking Of marrying.
IL II /; man will be unable to main
tain wife rs comfortably rs she has
been used to. and unless he has some
thing saved toward future unforeseen
eventualities, he had better remain a
bachelor, for when poverty comes in
at the door love flies out at the Win
dow.
- If he would be unwilling to
frankly and candidly tell before mar
rage everything of his past life,
which, in the event Of his marrying,
would, if found out, cause endless
trouble and lifelong unhappincss, let
him by all means remain single.

AS the Baronet afterwards learned,
1t was OF the very morning that MS

Thus persisted, in the very prime OF
youthful life, a man for whom every

Mammoth Clover.

A correspondent inquiries about Eng
lish clover. On looking the subject Up
i'll our authorities, encyclopedias, re-
ports Of the department OF agriculture,
ETC., we are surprised to find that no
mention is made of English clover. 1t
seems that clover of no kind is native
to that island. The common red yari-
city was introduced there from CONT
Mental Europe about 1910, and soon
became popular and has been so ever
since. They grow variety called the
Mammoth, or sapling clover, and we
think this is sometimes incorrectly
called English clover. This large vari-
ETY. is excellent for fertilizing the soil,
but unless cut quite green is not worth
much as forage. The stalks become
quite large and very tough, and stock
will not eat them, so that q large part
of the plant is wasted.
Mr.. Wallace, in his book OH Glover
Culture, says of it: while the Nam
moth is far inferior to the medium red
as hay crop, and. therefore, we do
not advise it's cultivation where a hay
crop is the main object, it has very i'm
Dortant advantages to the farmer who
has exhausted the fertility of his land
by long years of cultivation in wheat,
corn, oats and flax and who is not in
shape either to buy live stock or to
provide the shelter necessary to keep
them at profit. In such cases as
this we advise the sowing of Nam
moth clover with every crop of spring
grain, even though it be the intention
to ploW it up the succeeding year
1t comes in bloom two or three weeks
later than red clover, and on this ac-
count is often sown with the red.

The Times says: 1t recently happened
that a resident OF Lowell desired to pay

sionary in British India The friend from
that PARKWAY country suggested that it be

On application to the ]. G. Aver Co, they
readily gave an order on their Bombay

A letter dated Rdhur India, Oct. is. has
just been received in ioEell, which says:
The Sarsaplrila was duly received and as
it has regular market quotation price was
converted into cash ,tith the utmost facility.
Whatever may be said about other sarsapa-
rillas and the medicinal value of their con-
tel is. this fact remains, that Ayers Sarsa-

country are very conservative, and unless
an article is we'll known they are shy about
using it. a native will take q bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla from my dispensary and

as to its purity or curative qualities. This

Blown From "a Train.

Il do not suppose that once in a hun
dred times we ever learn the real cause
of railroad accident" said a man who
is well posted on such matters, "when
any one of the principals concerned is
killed. In individual cases, where q
man is lost from a train, and his body
is found later beside the track, suicide
is the first thing suggested; but you
can never tell. A peculiar accident
happened to q friend of mine.
lie was travelling Eastward with some
friends. He left them for a few min
utes to go to the smoking car. AS he
crossed from one car to the Other-that
was before the time Of the vestibuIe
trainS-a strong wind that was blowing
struck him and blew him to the
ground. He was wearing large circu-
lar coat, which acted as a balloon in
flated with wind, and it was RESPONSE
BILE for his being blown off the train, as
well as for the fact that he landed ON
his feet unhurt. He walked some dis
lance to the nearest station and telc-
graphed ahead to his friends that he
was all right, and would come on by
the next train. If he had been killed
every one would have said suicide for
the possibility of a man being blown
from a train would seem to be an abb
Surd idea"

Wheat From the start.

The best lot of chickens we ever
raised were fed on dry grain feed from
the very start. They were in a brooder
house and side by side with other
brocds fed on mashes and mixtures Of
all kinds. This particular lot had the
end brooder and were allowed full
liberty to roam over a large patch of
woodland. The feed was placed in
covered troughs, and consisted of u
mixture Of cracked corn and rice and
whole wheat, and this the only food
given. The chickens, having unlimited
range and plenty of shade, picked up
all the animal and vegetable feed they
required and tackled" the grain feed
when they felt inclined that way. They
grew like weeds and beat the other
pens decisively, although the first three
weeks little or no difference could be
detected in the different broods. The
unnatural system Of feeding and yard
ing them began to tell and the natural
method triumphed.
