FARMERS tell us that there has been a
very great improvement in the wheat
crop during the last three weeks. Corn
is coming up well, but is not growing
fast on account OF the cold weather. To-

sections there has been full crop set, in
others, not so much. The acreage will
be about what it was, last year.

SOME TIME.

Last night, my darling, as you slept,
! thought heard you sigh,
And to your little crib crept
And watched a space thereby;
And then stopped and kissed your brow,
For, oh! love you so!
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you shall know.
Some time, when, in darkend place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon a face
Calm in eternal sleep;
The voceless lips, the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile shall show
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you shall know
Look backward then, into the years
And see me here Tonight
See, oh, my darling, how my tears
Are falling as l write
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you shall know.

Young Men Out Of Employment.

A publication representing the Y. M.
G. A. in an Eastern trade center says:
There are large numbers Of young men
out OF employment at the present time,
and it Is trying for us not to be able
to place the many who apply to us. When
scores of young men are ready to step
into the first place that offers, a very
little thing may turn the scale for or
against the man. The following may be
suggested:
!. Expect to find work every day.
2. Never get discouraged.
8. Don't go from city to city.
4. Spend eight hours day looking for
work. If you had position you would
be expected to work that many hours.
5. Be in earnest.
6. Remove your hat when entering the
office.
Z. BE neat and clean in your personal
appearance.
s. Don't have the fumes of tobacco on
your breath and clothes.
8. Have nothing to do with intoxicat-
ing liquors of any kind.
TO- Impress the gentleman on whom
you call that you must have something
to do.
II. When you get position stick to it.
Don't leave it unless you are sure of
lettering yourself.
IL. If you desire to advance make your
employers interest your interest.
l3. Say but little and do good deal.
IA. BE prompt, and don't watch the
clock for closing time.
Is. Keep yourself thoroughly posted.

WORTH WHILE.

II is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like song,
But the man worth while Is the one who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test OF the heart Is trouble,
And 1t always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises OF
earth
Is the smile that shines through tears;
II is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you TO stray;
When without or within no voice or SIN
Is Turing your soul away;
But It's only o negative virtue
Until 1t is tried by fire,
And the smile that is worth the honor OF
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
by the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway Is numbered to-day
They make up the items OF life;
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides In q smile,
II is these that are worth the homage OF
earth, ~
For we find them but once in a while.

Z. Nothing is troublesome that we do

There was an amusing and instruct
ing incident at the Agricultural depart
ment in Washington the other day, says
William e. Curtis, in the Chicago Rec
ord. A young man who graduated at
one of the Eastern colleges last summer
called with a letter of introduction from
the Senator from his State, in search OF
a position, and explained that, as ne had
been raised upon farm, and had prac-
tical knowledge of agriculture, backed
by a classical education, he thought he
was capable of filling almost any posi-
tlon in the department. The Secretary
was glad to see him, and said he thought
he could give him position at once

I'D In soil physics, and If you have mas
tered that branch Of agricultural science

"What is soil physics?" inquired the
young man.
''It Is the science of soils. 1t Is neces-
sary for the man who takes this posi-
tion to know all about the chemical COM
position OF the soils of different locali-
ties, their capacity to absorb and retain
moisture, and the amount of moisture
required by each kind of soil to produce
the best results In different plants.
Certain kinds Of plants require more
moisture than others, but 1t depends
largely upon the character of the SOIL
