ANOTHER NEW YEAR.
Age ReckOned by Inward Signs-uld
Only ms Our Growth in Manly and
WOmanIy Virtue Would, Show

A modern author suggests that IT all
record and measurement of time by
hours and days and years could be
abandoned, we should gradually adopt
newer and truer standard. and count
our age by inward rather than out
ward signs.
If, by transformation of mental habit
this interpretive reckoning could sud
denly be brought to bear, in what new
aspect should we see ourselves and
our friends. How old would many
seem who are yet in the vigor Of youth.
and how youthful many whose brows
are wrinliled and crowned with silver
hair. We might not wholly separate
time and growth, but we should meas
ure time for mortals as we do for trees
by the indications of growth.
Who does not know the difference
who looks back and sees how the life
less years of his past lie half forgotten
while the life of the vital years has pow
tr still to set every pulse athrob? These
years count, the others are ciphers. We
are as old as their grand vitality
inwrought into experience and ripened
into character has made us. We are
as old as our thoughts are high and
deep; as old as our love is wide and
warm; as old, and only as old, no mat
ter how many our years, as our growth
in manly and womanly virtue would
show. The brain may have absorbed
facts and theories and PHILOSOPHERS
about goodness and the real self be
learning the alphabet of Gods lesson
OF obedience and trust.
These being the natural food of the
soul, its real growth depends on the
souls power of assimilating what has
been prepared by Divine hand for
its nurture. Yet on no amount of
thought about obedience, or love, or
goodness will the hungering human
nature thrive. No careful analysis Of
foods will build up the wasting tissues
or give new strength to the growing
body, only that which enters into the
life becomes part of fiber, and blood,
and bone.-.W Washington Home Maya

THE APPLE ORCHARD.
Hill Location liz by All Odds the Best
and Safest in Almost Every
Locality.

The soil for an apple orchard should
be selected with great deal of care,
1t used to be the idea that any soil
was good enough for the apple orchard,
and we find in many cases apple or
chards set out on soils entirely insult
ed for them. Some people have the
idea that the poorer the soil the better
1t will be for the apple orchard. This
opinion evidently arose from the eX-
perience of people in setting out or
chards on very rich land and finding
them unsuited for them. They quite
naturally inferred that if the rich land
was not good the poor land must be
good. But rich land is not suitable, for
the reason that it occasions too great
growth Of wood and not enough of fruit
buds. AS we say; ut all grows to
Soiliage!"
Land should be rich enough to Insure
a good growth of wood, but not too
rich to permit fruit buds to develop in
large numbers. Generally meadow
will be found unsuitable, for the reason
that the saltwater stands so near the
surface that the roots are soaked dur
ing a large part of the year. The water
does not have to lie near the surface to
do this. for, as is we'll known the roots
of apple trees penetrate very deeply
into the ground. sometimes seven or
more feet. The hill location is gener-
ally best for the apple orchard, for the
reason that there is no underlying sheet
of water. The drainage is natural and
rapid, and the roots are always able to
do their work without interference. A
medium clay soil is generally good, for
the reason that in it the fertility is held
till taken up by the roots. A sandy soil
gets rapidly poor, and when fortified
teaches so badly that much of the
manure is lost.

AERATE YOUR MILK.
Especially II IL Has n DisngreeablS
OdOr Which IL Caused by
Volatile oils.

While II is often true that what we
call odor in milk comes from the filth
of the stables, II is also true that there
is an odor in the milk in any case, even
in the milk Of cows that are kept with
the greatest of care. 1t was long ago
discovered that every animal throws
Off u volatile oil which evaporates
about as quickly as it comes to the air,
and this fine gas, produced by the
change of the oil from liquid to
gaseous form, Is what assails our nos
trils and is what we denominate odor.
The pores that carry this volatile oil
10 the surface of the hide seem to be nu-
inerous and to be distributed well over
the body. This is what makes scent
in dogs of value. II 1t were not for this
oil being constantly evaporated the
dog would be of no value as a tracer.
Many of the lower animals have their
sense of smell so developed that they
ere able to detect a very small amount
of this odoriferous oil.
Some of the tubes that carry this oil
from the internal organs of the cow,
where 1t is elaborated, have their ORR
fees in the udder. This volatile oil
thus gets into the milk and the only
way to get rid of It is to aerate tho
milk. The oil evaporates so rapidly
that the exposure of the milk to the
air, especially when 1t is exposed to the
air in the form of small sheets or spray,
results in getting it out of the milk. It
also shows why the milk should not
be at once covered and left covered, 1t
is not certain sign that the milk is
dirty II there be an animal odor con-
nected with it. But 1t is sign that the
dairyman does not know how to ham
die it-Farmers' Review.

GOOD BUSINESS SENSE.
II Was Displayed by an Illinois Dairy
man, and Now He Is RenpinE
Rich Reward.

An Illinois farmer who had been SELL
ing his milk for two cents a quart
thought he would try for part of the
trade of a small town near him where
the retail price was five cents. He in
vited the people to come out to his
farm upon a certain day, and he showed
them over the farm, exhibited his
stock and explained his system of feed
ing and general management. Then
came the milking. The milkmcn came
out with clean shirts and snow white
aprons, bringing pals Of hot and cold
water. They thoroughly washed their
hands, and then the udders and teats
of the cows with warm water and cas-
tile soap, rinsing them carefully and
wiping dry, The vessels for holding
the milk were bright and clean, the
stables and stalls were clean. The milk
was strained, aerated, quickly cooled
and placed in a cool, clean cellar. All
the details were explained to the visit
ors as the work progressed, and they
went home satisfied that there they
could obtain clean and wholesome milk.
The next day he sought customers and
found market for all he could supply
at six cents quart, or a cent above
the market rate in the town, and it
was but little more trouble to deliver
it than to have carried it to the railroad
station and send it to Chicago for two
cents quart,-Dakota Field and Farm.

Poor little thing!"
Abel Tappan stirred uneasily. A row
of golden lemons on the shelf looked At
him with silent reproach. THE water

said in his ear,
"She looks like your little grand
daughter, too" Mrs. Wyncoop went on,
driving the shawlpin home with in
trepid aim-"everybody noticed it. Be

her back the teacher-she boarded with

mixed up at school, Same colored hair,
with the same kinks in it, and their eyes
just alike, and even their little dimples
matching! The little McKie girl was
fat and well then, like your Becky"
The lemons bIinked their yellow eyes
reproachfully. Mr.. Tappan strobe be-
hind the counter and swept them, with
Il succession of clatters. into the money
drawer, out of sight. He was mentally
reviewing the items of Page 46. He
knew them by heart. How many, many
of them were little unpretendirg lux
uries that little, peevish, sick child
might crave! How few of them-her-
rings now and then, and salt Goldfish
or oatmeal-were necessaries! It had
nettled him over and over again to
think of it, but now, somehow, It
touched him against his will.
Yes, o, yes, he knew they used to say

was her name?-looked like Becky.

A little voice reused Abel Tappan by
and by-Becky's-but he had never
heard Becky's voice from such dis
lance before, lie seized the lamp and
hurried upstairs. where he and his little
beloved, motherless Becky and old
Nance lived.
The child was tossing on her bed, fret
ting paintiyely. Her little face, in the
lamps feeble glimmer, looked unduly
flushed and thin.
"My back aches sol" she whmpered,
Becky's back ached so! Becky's lit
lie straight--no o! Lord have mercy,
1t was crooked! II bowed out pitifully
against the little white sheets. Becky's
face was sharp with pain.
Abel Tappan shuddered from head to
foot. The lamp shook in his hand un-
safely. Through the blur on his glasses
the little tossing head on the pillow
seemed strangely far away from him,
Was it his little, plump, rollicking, dan

been so proud of always?

bed.

he mumbled in an agony of grief,
against her cheek, "Daddy'll see to it

Back in the store again, he could
find no lemons, though he searched and
researched with logged insistence.
Where could they be? There had been
plenty of them, over there on the sec
ond, right-hand shelf, in row.
He moved boxes and cans, he cleared
whole shelves with sweep of his arm.
Becky's little wall sounded on, unceas-
ing, in his ears, lie must find them! He

could not go back to Becky without
them. The yellow labels on some of
the bottles Knocked him and led him on
to unavailing hopes, The dim lights
twinkled their eyes and jeered at him.
A merry party going past outside
shouted and sang, and he shook his
tight fist toward them angrily. Where
could the lemons be? he asked himself
over and over in dull wonder. If he had
only remembered to look in the money
till!
"I'll go down to the Forks-theyl
have 'em at Denby's," he muttered.
ITS a good mile, but don't care if it's
so! don't care if have to wake up the
seven sieepers, neither!"
But how long it took to find his great
coat and get into it! He tried to hurry.
Heavy weights seemed to hang to his
limbs and drag them back with dla-
bolical persistence. Would his arms
ever go into the sleeves? Was it go
ing to take till crack O. doom to get
his hat on his head? Big drops of sweat
scurried down the seams of his hag-
gard cheeks. He set his teeth dog
gedly.
If the lemons in the money drawer
had only logged against the door OF
his memory!
I'll find one-big one-steal one
anything!" he cried aloud.
Hank! was that the little voice, muf-
fled by the folds of the thick comforter,
still calling to him? Was it growing
clearer, nearer?
"Wisher Happy New Year, daddy"
Why, it was Becky said it herself,
standing in the murky doorway ?
Becky! Her voice shrilled out to him,
triumphant and sweet.
Abel sprang forward in sudden hor-
ror and caught her in his arms. Her
little nightgown fell away from her
bare toes and he felt the chill of them
against his wrists.
Happy New Year" he repeated, me-
chemically, after her. He was hugging
the little cold feet fiercely to his breast,
and burying his face in the tousled hair,
1t was Becky - Becky and her
cheeks, against his, felt round and
warm. And she sat on his arm as
straight and strorg as little ramroGi
