OF dandelions in the lawn is to watch for

Of in this way.

The farmer and the artisan are get
ting better returns for their labor than
the professional man. Possibly we are
coming to time in this country when a
professor who can speak five languages,
square the circle and have the right to
use good share Of the alphabet after
his name to express his college degrees,
will only be able to command salary Of
t400 year, as it is now in some foreign
countries. 1t is no source Of regret that
America is passing from an era Of intel
iectual professionalism to one where
brains and muscle shall work in harmo-
ny. The best paid labor in the country
today is where brains and muscle are
developing the resources of great

One of the most successful dairymen
in Iowa soils his cows in the summer in
place of pasturing them. He makes
regular sowings Of oats and Canada field
peas each week from the time the frost
is gone in the spring until the last Of
June This forage is cut fresh each day
and fed the cows in the barn. Later in
the season he has sweet corn for ra-
ton. No flies, abundance Of nutritious
food all the time, and care in the selec-
tion Of his dairy herd, have enabled him
to bring his butter product up to nearly
400 lbs per COW.

We know ola mana farmer-who can
never find anything he wants about his
place. He always leaves tools and the
like just where he uses them, and ifit
were not for his more careful and bust
ness-like wife, who looks after him and
puts things 10 their proper place, he
could not do business at all. His fault
grew out Of lack Of proper training when
boy. Children can be trained to be
careful and methodical Just as we'll as
not, and parents who neglect SO to do,
do their children a grievous wrong.

will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
IN this emulsion when other

1t is the same with larger

DEAR HEART. WHERE HAST THOU
VANDERBILT

Dear heart, where hast thou wandered?
What happier regions stay
Thy lingering feet, whose coming changed
aIy winter into May?
Now all our slopes are burgeoned
In summers lavish mood,
And deep within the grove the thrush
Has belled the solitude.
Tho. laurels set the hillside
with many spectral light:
Seen through the dusk, they stand IKE
nymphs,
Fxpectantly In flight.
But somehow thou dost linger,
Implacable, afar,
Though high within the twiligh Ky
Cleans cold our trysting-star.
The brooks we loved still murmur.
Though now through dells OF Sscc-n;
The very hills have lost with thee
Their moiety of bloom.
stu. each leaf whispers Of thee;
| In every path once trod
b. thy dear feet, thy spirit yet
| Speaks from remembering sod.
