THE RIGHT To LIVE.

Darwin says in one of his works that
the most sublime spectacle there is in
the universe is the effort of mankind to
live. This thought may be carried fur
Their and made to include all forms Of
animal and vegetable life. This strug-
gle for the right to live meets one at
every turn, whether it be a scraggly
cedar clinging to the side of some
rocky cliff, an eagle seeking the top Of
the tallest tree in which to build nest
in the vain hope that it may thereby
escape its enemy (man), an Eskimo
waging a ceaseless war with snow,
cold and berg in his pursuit of food or
the pitifui effort Of some plant, crushed
just as it attained maturity, to throw
out one little seed head late in the sea-
son in the fultillment Of its mission.
War, strife, competition, on every
hand, the stronger ever crowding down
the weaker, ever and always the re-
morseless and memorable law of the
survival of the fittest!

ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.

There are SO many people who would
like to have nice bed Of strawberries
and do not because they say they do
not know how to raise this delicious
berry that once more we give simple
directions how to do it. The directions
given are for the planting Of family
bed. Plow up or spade up a piece Of
good ground 10 feet wide and 80 feet
long. Work in ten wheelbarrow loads
of well rotted barnyard manure. Get
200 strawberry plants Of your nearest
nurseryman Of Beder Wood, Lovett,
WarReld or Clyde variety Set the
plants three feet apart between rows
and two feet apart in the row. Guilt
vate thoroughly and keep every weed
out the first year. Put two inches Of
marsh hay or clean straw on the plants
after it freezes up next fall. Uncover
after warm weather comes in the
spring and then get ready to pick the
incest lot Of berries in June that you
ever saw. Fruit the bed two years
and then dig 1t up. To be sure Of
strawberries every year a bed should
be planted each year. Make the new
bed in new place each time.

TIMBER VERSUS PRAIRIE.

We are asked whether a young man
with but little capital had better buy
an 80 acre farm Of prairie at $22 per
acre or 80 acres all timbered, both
tracts being in comparatively new
country, the timbered tract to be had
at So per acre. This is not an easy
question to answer. If there should be
ready market for the timber in the
shape Of ties, cordwood, posts, ETC., he
would have his timber farm paid for
long before he would the prairie tract.
Granting that there are serious draw
backs to the timber farm in the matter
Of the labor involved in clearing the
land and the stumps after it is cleared
to contend with for several years, there
are still many compensations to offset
these drawbacks. The woods will fur
nish fuel, material for outbuildings and
fences, continuous opportunity for
work the year round, more or less
hunting if one be SO inclined. We have
been through both propositions, and
did we have to do 1t again we would
take the timber farm every time.

A Tall Corn Story.

"A Pennsylvania man travelling
through Kansas recently heard great
many tall corn stories and thought he
would tell some Of them in letter
home. This was how lie did it:
"Most of the streets are paved, the
grains of corn being used for cobble-
stones, while the cobs are followed
out and used for sewer'pipe. The husk
when taken off whole and stood on
end makes nice tent for the children
to play in. 1t sounds queer to hear the
feedman tell the driver to take dozen
grains of horse feed over to Jackson's
livery stable. If it were not for soft,
deep soil here, don't see how they
ever could harvest the corn, as the
stalks would grow up in the air as high
as church steeple. However, when
the ears get too heavy their weight
presses the stalk down in the ground
on an average Of 90 feet. This brings
the ear near enough to the ground to
be chopped off with an ak"

VALUE or CORN FODDER.

If we We're to place in these notes
some of the well authenticated re-
ports made to us Of the number of
head Of stock well wintered for the
first time on the corn fodder which has
heretofore gone to waste, we should
hardly be believed. 1t is enough to
say, perhaps. that on every quarter Sec
ton farm within the corn belt where
stock is kept to eat 1t the sum of not
less than $500 Of clean profit can be
secured by the cutting up and using of
the corn fodder grown on the farm. To
fail to SO use 1t is to throW this nice
sum Of money to the dogs. y

O1 a mlbACLE ot1E 6S5CAfEU
would write to Mrs. Roger Williams,
242 Rivington street, New York. 1
was never Of much use to her, and I
ran away from her to come here. Break
the news to her gently because she was
very fond of me-"
Here q tear fell on his hand. Roger
thought there was q leak in the roof.
He resumed:
TELL her I wanted to be a man
among men, and"-
A hospital attendant came into the
tent with lantern in his hand. Its
rays fell across the face bending above
the cot. Roger, glancing upward, saw
a pallid face, worn and wasted with
night vigils, from which the copious
tears Of joy had washed the costumer's
coloring. He felt the tender caress Of
familiar calloused fingers in his tousled
brown curls and heard the gently pro-
testing voice Of his mother say:
FLUSH, hush, my child! The surgeon
says you are out of danger"
When Roger fell asleep half an hour
later, his lashes were wet with the
tears Of a joyous reunion, while there
rested upon his mothers face that look
of infinite serenity which only those
who have come up out of deep tribula-
ton can ever wear.

Lent Growing shorter.

e'It is pity that religious scruples
should be allowed to interfere with
business" said New York theatrical
manager "But they still do little.
The theater was only two-thirds full
Wednesday night. However, it might
be worse. Look at it now. Every
seat full. You wouldn't know it was
Lent at all, would you? The fact is
there are only two days in Lent now
anyway-Ash Wednesday and Good
Friday. There used to be 40, and now
there are two. Oh, it's improving!
After awhile 1t won't make any differ
ence to the theaters at ALL"

HOW TO RAISE a GOOD CALF.

The calf should be well bred to start
with, for this is one secret in the bust
ness. For the first four weeks the
treatment of all calves should be the
same. After that time different meth
cd of feeding should be followed, de-
pending upon whether the calf is a
heifer to be raised for future milk
cow or steer to be put on the beef
market with the largest degree of
profit to the owner. For the first four
weeks the calf should be treated as fol-
lows: 1t should be allowed to suck the
dam three or four times so as to empty
the udder and clean it Of the accumu-
lated milk. 1t should be then removed
from its dam and given q dry, clean
place in the barn and taught to drink,
giving It q ration of one quart of new
milk fresh from the COW three times a
day, increasing this ration to four or
five quarts a day, depending upon the
size of the calf. Feed this new milk
ration for two weeks, then taper Off on
to skimmilk during the next ten days,
the skimmilk to be either separator
milk warm from the COW or else milk
sweet and carefully warmed up to
the temperature of new milk. Re-en-
force this skimmilk ration with tea
cupful Of faxseed jelly made by
scalding flaxseed for each feed. The
calf will now begin to eat grain, and a
mixture Of corn and oats should be fur
nished it to eat from as 1t will. AS the
calf grows stronger the milk ration
may be increased. At month old take
the corn away from the heifer calf in
tended for COW and the flaxseed
from her milk ration and give her
what clover hay and oats she will eat
with her skimmilk ration. This treat
ment will make her grow, but not get
fat. For the steer calf intended for
beef give him all the corn he will eat
and keep up his faxseed ration. He
should never be allowed to get hungry,
and IL thus fed will at the end Of five
months go on to a grass and corn ra-
ton and be made to weigh 1000 pounds
by the time he is Ia months old and be
worth not less than $50. The heifer
calf should be kept growing and thrift
ty, but never fat.

and excitement had made Roger par
TALLY unconscious. He moaned feebly
and mnttered:
water! Water!"
The heat was frightful. 1t beat down
upon the battlefield like the stroke of
fail upon barn floor. Mrs. Will
liams looked around helplessly. Seeing
no succor in sight, she took her boy in
her strong arms and partly dragged,
partly carried, him down the long hill,
the target for hundred bullets. BY
miracle she escaped injury. The sur
geon examined Rogers wound as he
lay in the improyised hospital, but
shook his head when Mrs Williams
looked at him inquiringly. The bullet
had trayersed the lung, he said, and he
could hold out no hope. Meanwhile
Roger was delirious. He babbled in
his Inconsistencies about childish
things and sang snatches Of song about
how mother kissed him in his dreams.
Then followed "a hours of fever, DUR
ing which his mother never left his
side. There was no luxury procurable
which Mrs. Williams did not get for
her boy, but he could not eat. But to
the surprise Of the surgeons Roger be-
gan to get stronger, and on the fourth
day he opened his eyes sane man.
His mother had preserved her disguise
all through this trying season. Reason
had returned to Roger in the afternoon
of an insufferably hot day. His moth
er. exhausted by her long vigil, had
fallen asleep sitting on a stool by the
side Of his cot. Her head was buried
in the coarse pillow so that he could
not see her face, but the back Of her
waistcoat was exposed, showing a pc
culiar patch which fe remembered to
have seen before. Then he fell asleep,
and when he aWoke it was night. In
the gloom of the tent he noticed the
form Of a man sitting by his bedside.
"Old chap" he murmured, fare you
one Of the nurses?"
Eyes," was the husky reply.
"Ah," said Roger, peering through
the gloom OF the tent, SIT seems to me
l have heard your voice before. But
never mind; want you to do me a
favor. I may never get away from
here alive. II should die, wish you

OF all agricultural products wheat
has responded the most slowly to the
general advance in prices which has
been such o conspicuous feature Of the
past year. Wheat should bring 81 a
bushel to be at all in line with other
things, but it sulkily sticks at or near
the 20 cent mark SO far as the pro-
Queer is concerned. The fact is that
wheat has ceased to be reliable indi-
Gator of agricultural prosperity.

Several recent accidents have demon
strated the fact that the bull is not any
more to be trusted with his horns of
than he is with them on. When the At
comes on him, he will kill man just
as surely without horns as with them.
The only cure is plenty Of good hard
work. If he were given tread power
to work eight hours every day, he
would be not only gentle as a kitten,
but Of far more service in the herd.

The common prairie wolf, which in
pioneer days Of the west was rare
animal, always increases in number as
settlement Of country progresses,
while the coyote, his first cousin, quick
ly disappears. The prairie wolf rather
takes kindly to civilization and appre-
ciates the poultry and young lambs Of
the farmers. There are still quite a
number of them left in even the thick
ly settled portions Of the west, and
the good bounties offered by the county
authorities fail to exterminate them.

The prairie country Of the west has
the best roads in the world for eight or
nine months in the year. Nothing save
an, expensive system Of macadamizing
will ever make these roads good dur
ing a wet spring or fall. Thorough
drainage, proper grading, the use of
wide tired wagons, the use of gravel
where it is available and the economic
al expenditure Of the highway taxes
sum up the possibilities Of road Inn
provement as things now stand.

The smooth talking agent with the
new hydraulic tin can milk separator
will soon be on the warpath. The rails
ing of cream by diluting the milk with
cold water is an old scheme. The rea-
sons why you should not bite are that
this method spells the skimmilk and
fails to extract all the butter fat from
the milk. The system has no advan-
tage over the old method Of setting the
milk in cans in cold water and does
spoil the skimmilk.

A bright little fellow only years
old, the son of laboring man, told us
the other day that he earned the sum
of So during vacation last summer by
driving cattle and doing errands. When
we asked him what he did with the
money, he said that he bought his
shoes and the suit of clothes which he
had on with it. This boy will never be
tramp, but far more likely rich and
influential citizen of the future. Such
boys are all too few.

We note a case where the bill for
mill feed for the dairy cows was three
fourths as much as the sum received
for the milk Of the. herd. There is
some very bad management here.
With the exception of little bran or
glucose meal all the food required by
the average farm herd Of dairy cows
should be produced upon the farm.
Sheaf oats, clover hay, millet and corn
fodder, ground corn and oats, with
four or five pounds Of bran a day,
make good ration and an Inexpensive
one because mostly produced on the
farm.

Thirteen thousand farmers Of the

reading course inaugurated by the
agricultural college Of the Empire
State. This practical line Of work is
worth emulating by the agricultural
colleges Of other states.
