HOW TO STOP WORRYING.
There Is sure Way If You VIII Only
Make Yourself Think So.

There Is "a Sure Way IL You VIII Only
Make Yourself Think So.
''The usual way people set about
stopping worry is a wrong one. writes
Mary Boardman Page in The Ladies'
Home Journal "That is why it is so
unsuccessful If doctor tells patient
he must stop worrying, the patient is
likely to say impatiently: oh, doctor,
dom t l wish that could But l can t.
If could have stopped worrying year
ago, | would not be i'll nowl' All of
which is probably perfectly true. And
the doctor does not always know how
to help him, because both doctor and
patient have an idea that it is possible
to repress worry through an effort of
the win. This is mistake 1t is not
possible to repress worry. You have got
to replace it with something else.
Let me illustrate this by a figure.
Suppose You were to go into com
pletely dark room, wishing it to be
light. How would you set about the
work. Would you try to scoop the
darkness up in buckets and carry it out
at the door? Not at all You would
just open the windows and shutters
and let in the blessed sunlight. You
would replace the darkness with light.
So it is with worry The only possible
way to get rid of it is to replace the
worry attitude of mind with the non
worry attitude. And this can always
be done when the person is sincere and
patient in his desire to bring it about.
All he has to do is to be passive and let
nature have her own perfect way with
him -

In a New England village rich in
quaint and amusing characters John
Bates was renowned for his ability to
hold his tongue. The gift approached
genius, but John was keenly alive to
what he considered its Incompetence,
although of course he said nothing
about it.
He made mattresses for living, and
one day native of the village came
into his shop and said:
John, what's the best kind of q
mattress ~
"Husks. said John and said no
more.
Twenty years later, so the tradition
runs. the same man came again to the

Eject of Phosphates ON Pasture.

In a recent interview in the Ottawa
(Canada) Free Press, Professor Robert
son, who has just returned from Eng
land, related the following experiment
by DIR. SomeryiIle of the Durbon eng
land College of Science: "Dr. Somer-
vile has been carrying on investiga-
tons into the improvements of pas
lures. By light application of Thorn
as Stag containing phosphates) a three
acre plot has been improved to carry
twice as many sheep and yield nearly
twice as much mutton per acre as the
adjoining plot of three acres untreated.
That was not due to an increased yield
of produce ON the field, but to an I'M
provement IN the quality Of the herb
age. When part OF each of the plots
was cut as hay. there was little differ
ence in the yield per acre. The applica-
ton Of phosphates had produced a
plentiful growth Of white clover on a
treated plot, whereas elovers were
hardly visible on the other one. There
had not been any sowing Of clover or
grass secsls % the field. Il was an

points Of a superior mixer. That the
two can be combined has been demon
strated time and again by actual per
formers. The two bulls that sold for the
highest price at the recent Colman sale
in England were full brothers, 1 and

1902, out of Coronet II (5367), and sold
for 81, 900 and 81, $50 respectively, the
highest prices ever paid for bulls Of the
breed at a public sale Still another
brother, couple of years older. was Sc
lected by so competent a judge as J. W.
Martin of Wisconsin as the best bull he
could find in England to put at the
head of his herd and is pronounced q
show animal of the highest character.
The dam Of these bulls, Coronet II
(5367). is credited in the herd of Gar
rett Taylor with s,770 pounds of milk
in 1897, with 3. 5 per cent fat, and her
dam. Coronet (2716), holds the cham
pion record of the breed in official tests
on this side of the water. She gave in
June, 1897. as the average of two days,
so 81 pounds of milk day, with g. 95
per cent fat, and she has a nonoficial
record of over 70, 900 pounds of milk
within a year. The sort of judging that
Red Polled breeders need and should
demand is the Judging that puts cows

horses, they can be kept to the age
when all horses command the best
price at a relatively lower cost thln
other breeds. 1t is true that a con-
siderably higher price can be obtained
for well bred weight carrying hunter
or for high class carriage horse than
for good draft horse. but for one man
who has the necessary qualifications
to insure success in breeding carriage
horses of the best class there are ten
who are capable of breeding good draft
horses, and. except perhaps in York
shire and in some parts of Ireland, for
one farmer who can breed first class
weight carrying hunter there are 30
who can breed good draft horses. In
the long run capital invested In well
bred Shires or Clydesdale mares that
are intelligently managed gives, as a
rule, a more certain return than capital
employed in breeding either riding or
driving horses. But if a man is good
judge of hunters, hackneys or carriage
horses, and is born breeder, naturally
endowed with the qualities that are
necessary for success, chief among
which are sound judgment, patience
and the finest powers of discrimina-
ton, he may safely breed the kind Of
horse in which he takes the keenest in
terest, provided he has suitable land
and buildings.
There is no depression in the market
for high class hunters. The demand
for high class carriage horses exceeds
the supply, and good hackneys can be
readily sold at remuneratiye prices At
the agricultural show at Trentham
lately the Duke of Sutherland stated
that, according to figures he had re-
ceived, 100000 horses, in value $780,
100000 are annually employed in con-
nection with fox hunting. The love of
sport shows no sign of diminishing.

bacterial origin of FLAVOR

Probably in no department of re-
search is a greater amount of investi-
cation going forward and valuable data
and actual dicovery being made than
in dairy science, says The Mark Lane
Express. While some of the discoveries
have been of little or no value, a Won
derful amount of useful and practical
material has been placed in the hands
of the dairymen. Among the new
things announced since it has been
shown how nearly ferments and havors
in butter are associated is that If GER
tain acids are added to sweet cream it
is not necessary to wait for the develop
ment of Tactic acid bacteria in the
cream, but that it could be churned at
once, and churned quite readily, and
the true favor secured Investigators
have been at work on this problem, and
an announcement of the results has
been made The most satisfactory re-
suit came from using hydrochloric acid
diluted in twice its bulk of water and
adding this in small quantities to the
sweet cream. Everything was satisfac-
tory except that the butter had no
aroma, though it was pronounced fair
and good by the judges. The butter
kept well and had a water content of
1919 per cent, but the low flavor was
against it, though not trace of acid
was to be detected or found by analysis.
About the most important thing brought
out was that butter seems to be fully
dependent upon bacteria for true flavor
rather than the food, provided that the
latter is Wholesome and not of charac-
ter to impart obnoxious havors to the
milk, which. after all, could not be
called butter flavor in any sense of the
word
