Wagon-ruts have been the subject of
some recent experiments by Missouri
scientist. A heavily loaded wagon
with ordinary tires was run over soft
stubble land, and the ruts found to be
fourteen inches deep. With broad tires
the same load made ruts only five
inches deep, the difference in the draft
being "a per cent in favor of the broad
tire. On corn land just dry enough to
pillow. the difference was ~ per cent,
an enormous loss or saving of horse
power and man-temper. One of the
comprehensive thinkers of the times
dates his interest in public themes to
a conversation with a wise country doc
tor, as the two drove on a life-and-
death errand over horrible road. "It
those poor fellows bleed to DEATH" the
doctor exclaimed, lit will be the fault
of the narrow tires that have made this
road almost impossible. Never make
ruts. my boy; put broad tires on your
life."

1t never goes we'll with him who lives
without God in the world His life
may be outwardly prosperous and hap
Ply, but his hopes will decay. While
all that he has fades away like the
flower of the field, each step is remov-
ing him farther from the everlasting
fountain of joy, and he is plunged into
ruin. On the contrary, he who wan-

end in joy. The way may often be
rugged and steep, but it leads heaven
wards. With every step the man is APP
preaching nearer to God and experi-
ences Faiths mighty power, and is
able in dark nights and amid hot con-

knows that our light affiiction work

are always improving, and on it, one

everlasting joy and glory-Mallett.

Value of Cultivation.

One of the most important things in
the growing of fruit is good thorough
cultivation. If were to name only one
would say that one thing was thorough
cultivation. For instance in fruit
trees. We all think that when the
spring sunshine comes, the fruit tree
Is all ready to send forth blossoms, and
II the temperature and weather are
suitable, we will have a. crop of fruit.
Now the fruit grower knows that the
fruit buds are not developed during the
winter, nor during the spring, but de-
veloped the season before, and if you
are going to have fruit the coming year,
you must have prepared the foundation
for it last year. Essential to the de-
velopment of fruit buds is good thor
ough cultivation. If you have good Gull
tivation you have good foliage; if you
have good foliage at the base of every
healthy leaf you will have a bud, and
IL the conditions are right, a proper
percentage of those buds will be de-
veloped into fruit buds and there will be
stored up plant food not only sufficient
to develop those buds into fruit buds,
bat to make them so strong that the
northeast winds will not destroy their
vitality to such an extent that they
will drop from the tree. When see
a tree along in August or September
with a leaf surface that Is small, and
practically stripped of healthy foliage.
! am as certain as I am that the sun
will shine when the clouds clear away,
that the man who has that tree upon
his place will not realize any fruit from

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one-third of an egg is solid nu-

Terracing Land-A Suggestion.


Prof. G. M. Conner of Clemson Ag-
ricultural College, s. c., writing in
Colmans Rural World, says: AS one
travels through that section of the
country east of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, known as the Piedmont section,
he sees hillsides protected from wash
ing by terraces. The terrace prevents
the water from collecting in large bod
les and washing bitches. The water is
let down the hill more slowly. and a
large per cent soaks into the soil. The
effect of this method is readily seen
during the dry season, the crops do not
suffer so badly as they do on hillsides
not terraced. 1t seems to me that this
method might be of some value to the
western farmer who keeps large part
of his farm in grass, because the
ground would hold moisture better
during the dry season; and during the
heavy showers the water would not
flow off so rapidly-more of it would
be held for the use of the plants. In
fact. 1t might increase the corn crop in
the same way, but it would require a
change in the system of farming to do
this. The rows of corn and cotton are
run with the terrace, and as the ter
races are of unequal width it necessi-
tates large number Of point" rows.
These point rows are easily cultivated
with the one-horse plows used in that
section, but where two-horse cultiva-
tors are used the point rows would be
Objectionable. This method also ne
cessitates planting the crops in drills,
which, as every one knows, requires
more or less hoeing.

1t was demonstrated beyond ques-
tion that wide tires keep the surface
smooth and firm, and that when the
roads are full of ruts the broad wheels
tend to restore them to good condition
and thus materially lessen the cost of
repairs. The universal adoption of
the wide tire in Minnesota for all We
hicles carrying heavy loads would save
the taxpayers of the state thousands of
dollars annually in road repairs, and
would save the farmers and teamsters
ten times the amount in expense of
hauling and wear and tear OF horses
and vehicles.

ditions are such 1t cannot properly de-
velop fruit buds. In the seasons we
have had in the past, in the month OF
May we have sometimes had storm
from the Northwest of forty-eight
hours duration when the temperature
was very low and the leaves on that
side of the tree, which were young and
tender, were whipped about by the
breezes until the foliage was so bruised
it either dropped from the tree or be-
came diseased. and there would not be
any fruit upon that side Of the tree the
next season. The storm had the same
effect as lack of cultivation. If you
have your fruit trees we'll cultivated,
you will be almost certain 20 have a
other year.
One of the essential things for an
orchard, particularly one in bearing, is
to have the ground well fertilized. Ii
you have good soil, good cultivation
and then add to it the necessary fertili-
cation to keep up plant growth you will
the spring frosts are too severe upon
the buds.
There Is no reason why an orchard
cannot bear every year with good care
full cultivation. Last year in my own
orchard I had very little fruit. and /
attributed it to the fact that my orch
ard, being sown to clover the year be-
fore, received no cultivation, and the
season being unusually dry, it did not
perfect the fruit buds sufficiently, but
during the two seasons before, when
the orchard had received thorough Gull
tivation, I had good crops of fruit. l
know from the reports of the horticul-
tural society that orchards which have
received good cultivation have yielded
good crop of fruit every year.-H. M.

told her dearest friend. under the pledge
OF stTictest secrecy, and Of course the
whole neighborhood knew it within IS
hours. IL seemed that almost the first
day that Professor Harding reached this
city, he was called upon by a young mar
ried woman who asked among other
things about the health and whereabouts
OF her husband who had been out OF the
city for several days. Professor Harding
told her that he was we'll and was in I'll
Paso. This the young lady wa inclined
to doubt as she said that she knew he
had gone west upon a business trip
which rendered his having returned and
gone south an impOssibility. Upon the
advice OF the professor she Immediately
addressed a letter Of inquiry to her hus-
band at III PasO. This letter evidently
caused the recreant husband to believe
that she knew all, for his reply contained
a full confession Of deliberate deceit and
a plea for forgiveness. Friends are try
ing to arrange matters amicably between
the couple, but the lady has already con-
suited a lawyer regarding a divorce.
