Prof. Daugherty's Remarks.
Prof. l.. c. Daugherty spoke next,


1t is the heart. and not the brain.
That to the highest doth attain.
Ana he who fol owS love $ bchcst,
Far eXcelleth the rest"
so sang our immortal Longfellow,
and lie expressed universal truth.
For, from the beginning until now,
love has been the mightiest pelliiug
force IT, was love of conquest that
led Alexander into unknown regions
and to weep because there were no
more worlds to conquer. Love of
power lured Bonapartc to attempt the
subjugation of the eastern hemisphere
and 10 divorce his Josephine. Love
for friend caused Damon to pledge
his own life for Pythias. Moses dared
the wrath of Pharaoh that he might
lead a nation which he loved out of
bondage.
What will not a sister endcayor for
the brother she loves? What hus-
band will hesitate to sacrifice life itself
to protect her whom love inspires him
to cherish? And the love of a parent
for the offspring, who can fathom it?
For the love of fame the explorer will
endure the tropic heat and the arctic
winter. The student will forsake all
for the love of knowledge. The love
OF gold will lead men to cross seas,
and deserts and mountains.
But there is love that win impel
man to turn his back upon the luXur-
les that gold has secured; that will
cause the student to leave his books;
that will lead the husband and father
to bid goodbye to friend, to wife and
children. 1t is the love of country.
My comrades, why are you here to-
day? Because love for your country
led you to the battles front ut the
call of your country in the perilous
davs of the CO.'S.
Those of our comrades who fell
gave assurance of the full measure of
their hearts devotion. But those
who remain were animated by the
same noble sentiments, and are en-
titled to the same measure of praise;
for You offered your all at your coun-
try's altar.
Comrades, you may be poor, you
may occupy an obscure place in So
ciety; but conscious of your meritor-
ious service to your country, l would
have you rememb ber that dignity is

ABUNDANCE OF PLANT FOOD.
Farmer Should Get II Into the Soil as
Fertilizer.

Plant food is one of the most profit
able things that the farmer can put
into his soil. II fertilizer OF any
kind put into the soil will bring back
its cost in increased crop, then the APP
plication has been a success. But the
chances of additional returns are so
great that It should be the aim OF
every farmer to continually feed his
land. Farm manure is good. but farm
manure is not all that should be addde
to land, for the reason that farm ma.
nure does not exist I'm enough abun-
dance to supply the needs Of the land
We know of farmer that cultivates
a large farm well and gets fair re.
turns from II. But he makes II a rule
to apply to his land only the manure
made on the farm. AS he keeps only
enough cattle for his own use and
only enough horses to do the work of
the farm, the supply of manure is
comparatively short. Yet he enforces
his rule of not buying fertilizer from
of the farm. He has been a great
cultiyator and has tried TO make cul-
tivation take the place OF both cul-
tiyation and the supplying OF an
abundance of plant food II is true
that cultivation helps increase the
plant food in the soil but to some ex.
tent II also hastens the burning up OF
plant food in the soil by exposing the
turned up soil to the conditions found
In the dust mulch.

MAKING ICE CREAM
PROCESS NOT DIFFICULT WITH
PROPER CARE.
Having Correct Proportions Of Ice and
Salt Is a MISUNDERSTANDING
Pot and Dasher Must Be
Kept Clean.

The Housekeeper repeats good ad
vice in regard to making ice cream. II

cream II one is Just little careful to
have the ice and salt in correct pro.
portions and properly pounded. Time
is not saved by using the ice in too
large pieces. as when It is coarsely
crushed 1t takes the cream much
longer to freeze. Both the ice and
salt should be finely crushed and each
layer packed down very firmly. One
part of ice to three OF salt Is the usual
allowance, and IL Is better to measure
both to insure proper proportions.
Rock salt is the best, although or.
binary bprrel salt does very we'll and
Is more easily obtained in small places
The freezing pot and dasher should
be thoroughly cleansed and sterilized
each time after Il has been used. and
again sterilized just before It is to be
used again unless there has been a
very short interval between. Put the
freezer in position and place a three
inch layer of finely crushed ice In the
tub cover with one of salt. and al.
ternate these layers, packing each
down hard, until the freezing mixture
is few inches above the cream In the

KNOWING THE SOIL.
Success Of Farming Depends on Know.
ing What Your Land VIII Do.

The first thing OF Importance that
any farmer has to deal with is the
knowledge of his soil. On this has
hinged more success and more failure
than on any other kind OF knowl
edge connected with farming. Some
soils may indeed be so rich that a
man does not have TO know anything
about them to get good results from
them, but most OF our land Is not Of
this character. Although farmers have
titled the soil since the time when the
race began to develop agriculture, yet
the soil is the least known thing on
almost any farm. The very idea Of
studying the soil is one that has not
yet taken deep root. Most men can
not tell what It is their soil lacks, and
they go on year after year making the
same blunders. In the past, the farm,
err was justified in not knowing the
components Of his soil, because science
had not yet taken up the matter OF
soil composition. But now It is diff
ferent, and It is possible for every
man to become thoroughly acquainted
with the soil on which he is trying to
make a living,

HANDLING OF GRAIN.
Hints by a Farmer Who Thinks He
Can Improve on Present Methods.

Compared with former years, thresh.
ing is an easy matter. The wind.
stacker and the self.feeder have great
ly reduced the size Of the average
threshing gang The weigher and
sacker are each doing noble work. Yet,
with all these advantages at hand.
not more than half of us farmers
make such use of them that our grain
Is handled In the most economical
manner possible, declares a farmer In
Home and Farm.
Threshing directly from the field is
often a great time.saver, as 1t saves
the time used in moving away the
sheaves. But II Is in caring for the
grain as II comes from the thresher
where most of us lose time. Ordi-
narily II is sacked and carried TO the
granary, requiring Eve or six men BY
using an elevator on the separator,
and two tight wagon boxes, one man
can easily care for the same amount
of grain. II no elevator Is at hand,
II takes but two men. Drive the
wagon alongside the machine and lift
the grain into the box. One man can
do this while the second unloads.
In hauling to market a large box
holding 60 or 20 bushels is especially
valuable. More grain can be hauled
and easier, without the expense or
bother OF sacks, which are mighty un.
handy. A box with flaring sides, hold
ing l60 bushels of oats. was made for
us at a cost of SIG.

LYDIA E. PINKHHM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good ld-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia 4. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. st.,
louisiana, No., writes:
complete restoration TO health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women | am willing
TO make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
1 followed IL, and can truly say that
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkhams advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold TO suffering
women"
What Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.
