THE TWO QUALITIES
That tannot Fall to Render . Marriage

That Cannot Fail to Render . Marriage
Happy.
II one starts on a trip with friends
the great necessity as means to fruit
full pleasure is compatibility OF spirit
and a constant guard upon thoughtless
impulse. How much more is this true
Of the trip through life with the friend
chosen from out the world as the one
most worthy our love. respect and SELF
sacrifice. In ell friendship it is wise to
hunt out the sunny spots to be found In
every character II rightly sought; and
SO in marriage-if man and wife find
themselves sitting in the shade Of each
others dispositions, they must seek the
sunlight together or storm clouds will
gather overhead, says the National"
What we need in marital partnerships
is more courage and consideration
courage with which to meet our own
faulte; consideration with which to
meet other peoples. A marriage bal
anced by these weights is sure to pros
per and point out paradise where the
circulation OF the soul is purified.

Unhappy marriage is sensational,
therefore the world hears all about it;
happy marriage is like the American

good breeding except the breeding It

Men and women make their own
conditions; conditions do not make
them, but as Thomas Carlyle puts it,
Life anywhere will swallow a man
unless he rise and vigorously try to
swallow it,

Consul. General j. G. Stowe, OF
Cape Town. has sent TO the State De-
partment an exhaustive account Of II
trip which he recently made through
South Africa to examine into tue in
dustrial development OF the country.
In the course OF his report Mr.. Stowe
gives An interesting report Of his visit
to the Kimberley diamond mines.
"The City Of Kimberley" he says,
''is CAT miles from Cape TOWN. ride

population Of 81, 900 and the greatest
diamond mines in the world. The
United States is represented here by
consular agent--Mr Gardner T. Will
Jams, who is the general manager of
the mines. 1 was pleased to learn that
many Of the most responsible positions
ere held by Americans.
''The company occupies 2O0,0
acres Of land, employs Is, 900 natives
and $4,000 whites, consumes cnch

The company is operating an ice plant

used in many other ways. Three ships
from California have arrived with
cargoes of redwood and Oregon pine.
The company sells its ice for half a
cent per pound to all, while in Cape
Town the charge il four cents per
pound.
"No corporation in the world does

Good Butter Making.

In making good butter, aside from
the processes themselves, there are at
least three essentials. namely, good
milk, pure air and perfect cleanliness,
says the Dairy Reporter. Most of the
elements which render milk bad are
the ferments. They are s'leaven." of
which according to Scripture, little
'leavens the whole lump" 1t there
fore only takes little poor milk to
spoil considerable quantity of milk
that is unobiectionable. Milk from
cows that are close to calving time
often contaminates a large quantity of
good milk with which it may be
mingled. and there are many other
causes for poor milk that readily
propagate themselves when the milk
is added to other lots that are without
fault. Nothing is more susceptible to
bad odors than milk aud its products.
Pure air is so essential that good but
ter cannot be made when the dairy
room is in the kitchen, or is imme-
diate]y connected with it, Cleanli-
ness, too, is one of the essentials that
even outranks godliness in butter
making. The utensils must be clean,
and must be washed with lnkewarm
water and brush and soap, or some
other cleansing preparation, with care
full attention to the seams OF the YES
sells, and then they should be scalded
in boiling water, and by this We mean
water that is really boiling, not such
as has been boiling and has been
poured from vessel to vessel until it
cools. Each vessel should receive its
full share OF airing aud sunshine after
scalding.
These are points not new at all, bu.
they are points on which it is neees-
sary to have cline upon line and pre-
cept upon precept." What one does
every day and day after day, as in the
case Of handling milk, there is always
danger that he will do carelessly Al
times. 1t is = matter of common re
mark that on railroads it is the ole
hand who is caught in making coup
lings; it is the one who has been do
ing it day after day, month after
month. aud year after year. It is III
who becomes careless, and so it is i,
handling milk, among those VIII
know. The task that is repeated da,
after DAY is one that needs the watch
ing, otherwise it will be carelessl,

Selecting the Pigs.

In selecting the pig best suited for
converting food into pork, there are
several matters to be observed, and
these should be paramount at the out
set, as no after care can compensate
for errors OF selection. Fineness Of
bone ,nsures having but little ofial,
aud pig with ine bone seldom dis
appoints his owner when he is
slaughtered. A broad, dished face,
with snout short AMI turned up, indi-
Gates an aptitude to fatten, and is one
Of the surest indications of good
pig.
No hog should have bristles, as
these have been bred away from all
the best breeds. aud they will not be
tolerated at present on any respecta-
BILE farm, as they Indicate coarseness,
restlessness and preponderance Of
offal. Besides these outward indica-
tons, which include squsreness of
form, fueness OF hair and depth and
lcugth Of carcass, the propensities Of
the pig should be observed. He
should not be a squealer, nor should
he be restless. He should patiently
lie down without even travelling
around the pen. AS a rule, tho dis
position of the pig and his propensi-
ties correspond to his form, and bat
few errors will he made if the seIec-
ton of the pig is n,ado as directed.
No corn shorId be fed until just
! pr svious to hardening the fat, and all
| heating or fat producing food should
be avoided as much as possible dur
ing the summer. A pig when in the
pen will do we'll enough on vegetables,
refuse, etc., if given little bran aud
milk daily, as corn can do its duty
later in the season. -Tennessee Far

The sad story comes from the coast

lection to living is based not so much
on tho injury to his feelings caused
by the cruelty of the restaurants in
announcing ''broiled live lobster" rs
by the precipitate haste of the Maine
fishermen in catching him before he

The Anti-Kut Agitation.


Massachusetts, roads are costing all
the way from $4,000 to . $25, 900 per
mile
All money spent on repairing earth
roads becomes each year q total loss
without materially improving their
condition.
Whatever road material you use will
in time need careful repairs by men
skilled in this work. The old adage
"A stitch in time saves nine. applies
here.
The total cost of maintaining roads
in good order ranges, on account Of
varying conditions, between as wide
limits almost as the initial cost OF con.
struction.
The road that will best suit the
needs of the farmer, in the first place,
| must not be too costly; and, in the
second place, must be Of the very best
kind, for farmers should be able TO de-
their heavy hauling over them when
their fields are too wet b work and
their team would otherwise be idle.
