Is more common than we may think, if
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of suStenance and beyond
the stonach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many person who would resen.
gluttony is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded etomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
ton is vweak " stomach. The vweak ("
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body, and soon the vweak-
ness" spreads from the stomach to other
organs.

Although cycling has gone out Of
fashion, 1t has not gone out of practice.
and many women find the two or three
day trips which they can make by
wheel In the early fall an exceedingly
pleasant form of recreation. If one
does not want to forward luggage by
train-and on such a short trip most
persons do motif becomes an impor-
tant question to settle just what one
must have or what she can do without
For the benefit of those who have not
yet solved that problem for themselves
a wheelwoman who has made many
such trips gives this advice:
Get about yard and a half of
macintosh cloth to put things in. 1t
Is better than any patent bags or cases,
as 1t yields to the exigencles of more or
less. You must have a small comb, a
toothbrush, pins, hairpins, needle and
thread, nightdress, change of under
clothing, stockings and handkerchiefs
A small mirror and clothes brush are
also convenient to have at hand. and a
pair of old, easy going slippers to rest
the feet are desirable. A road map Of
the region through which one is riding
Is indispensable. Soap may be carried
handily in the form of books of soap
leaves. These things may be made in
to a small bundle wrapped In the rub
Der cloth and strapped to carrier on
the front of the handle bar, where It's
weight will be scarcely appreciable."

WHEN TO cArcH ON ANp LETT 81


1t takes pretty smart man to know
just when to take hold Of some new
line of farm work or let go OK enc
which he has been carrying on. AS
we have noticed it, the man who adopt
ed some line of farm work and stuck
to 1t year in and year out, when it
paid we'll and when it did not, has
been the man who best succeeds. 1t
is a rare thing to find man with a
big crop of potatoes when they sell
for 40 cents In the field or with a lot
of wool to sell at 25 cents a pound or
barn full of hay to let go of at $40
per ton. The common rule Is that mel
will rush into new crops or new kinds
of stock when such crops and stock
are bringing top prices, when the wise
man, If he wished to make a change,
would make such change when there
was the least demand for such things,
correctly reasoning that when any
commodity was selling for less than
1t cost to produce 1t a scarcity and
high prices were almost sure to ensue
in the near future. When a man can
buy sheep for 81 a head, then is the
time to go into sheep. When good
horse sells for $40, then raise colts.
When pork sells at $3.50 per hundred
weight, fill up the hog yard. But bet.
ter than doing this, keep the crops
and stock on the farm diversified to
the largest extent possible all the time,
regardless Of the ups and downs Of
prices.

Cnr nrr PINE LANDS

A reader OF these notes writes us ask
ing whether the cut off pine lands of
northern Wisconsin are desirable as an
investment for man with small capt.
tai with view to making farm. We
have never examined these lands per-
sonally and feel loath to advise This
much may, however, be said In gen
eral way: If this land is clay or loan
soil, if it is covered with a fair growth
Of native timber, such as poplar, oak
birch or maple it is perfectly safe in
vestment at the low prices asked, pre-
vided one Is willing to make the fight
Of retaining timber farm, but IL the
soil is sand, covered with small Jack
pine and but sparse growth OF other
forest trees, we should look elsewhere
for farm, even If the land were Offer
ed as free gift. 1t may be said, how
ever, touching this last mentioned sort
of land. that much Of 1t is being re-
claimed and occupied by clearing ana
cropping alternately with clover and
potatoes and that some OF the finest POI
tatoes in the Union are so raised. The
question of the quality Of a soil is the
most important one In connection with
the selection of farm and shonld al
ways receive the most careful consider
alton; next to this the average rainfall
for series of years.
