Planning For the Year.

Not more than one farmer in ten
makes any well-defned plans for the
next seasons campaign. Most men
have vague idea of how many acres
of this or that they will plant next
season, but rarely do they consider the
details-the methods they will pur-
sue. 1t is a good time right now to
study all these out and jot them down
in Il book that can be referred to in
the busy season. When the work is on
hand and pushing one to his utmost
he il apt to forget many important de-
tails, many matters that are small,
bu. really vital. One who has not tried
it has no idea what relief it is to
have his work all carefully planned in
advance. 1t is almost like working
under the direction of another person.
l am aware that some people imagine
that farm work can not be planned in
advance because it is so largely gov
erned by meteorological conditions,
but if they will once give it a trial
they will learn otherwise. When one
has everything in readiness and knows
to a certainty what he wants to do he
can accomplish a third more than
when his ideas are all mixed and min
gled with the odds and ends that bob
Up every day. When he knows what
comes next, and how he has deter
mined TO accomplish it, and that ev-
erything is in readiness, there is no
confusion, no mistakes. Careful plan-
ming and prompt execution of these
plans makes the successful farmer;
haphazard confusion the "unlucky'
one. Don't be '.unlucky" this year.

trouble with family cows, even good

CAUSES OF INSANITY.
Most Cases Result from MOnOtOny
Which Is n Thing That Every
Prudent Man Should Avoid.

One would lie pardon ed for thinking
that a man who earned his livelihood
by working in the fresh air of the
country, surrounded by sights delight
full to the eye and refreshing 10 the
mind, would be far less liable to brain
diseases than the man sitting on stool
over ledger in the stuffy atmosphere
Of smoke-dyed city.
But if statistics prove anything they
supposition. More agricultural labor
ers 60 mad, per cent. for per cent, than
any other workers.
1t is the monotony which excites dis
interestedness. which leads to depres-
sion. which develops into melancholia,
which ends, perhaps. in a cure. possibly
in a suicidal act. probably in an asy-
lum. 1t may be safely said that Sun
day saves thousands upon thousands
from the madhouse. Ii is tie one break
from week to week which thousands of
natures demand.
The agricultural laborer. the artisan.
and other similar classes of workers
live on monotony, broken here and
there by a small incident which i'm time
becomes itself monotoIous.
A man, perhaps. drives rivets; he
drives them every day of the week eN-
cept Sunday, every motion of his work
becomes mechanical; he has no interest
in his work beyond what it hnds for
him on Saturday.
He has one thing to do and the more
he does that the less he does everything
else. Consequently the brain becomes
weak for want of more general use,
and weakens until il snaps
A fine thing is a healthy hobby. but
finer. especially for indoor workers.

more people out of the madhouse than
anything the doctors could do. Nature
demands a certain amount of balance,

Much of the prejudice agains. hair

SURGICAL DRESSINGS.
They Are Packed In Cans for Trans.
pOriatiOn tC Every Cline In
the World.

The agent of a New York medical
ard surgical supply company gives an
interesting account Of the method by
which British troops in Africa are be-
ing furnished with surgical dressings,
etc, by his firm.
AT the present time," said Mr..
NOVEL;, I'VE have all we are able to do
il keeping pace with the orders from
England for our speciality, which is
the canning of surgical dressings for
fed use. In each can are contained
artificial sponges and ligatures to-
gether with a bottle of phenoi sufficient
To furnish a carholic solution for the
instrument used in the operation.
Where operations are performed under
such conditions as usually exist in .
field hospital it is necessary to have
dressings the sterility of which can
be relied on by the operator without
recourse to any makeshifts on the spot.
Each can contains exactly what is
reeded for each operation and every
one is hermetically sealed. The cover
of the tin. if carefully removed, is Of
such Shape as TO serve as a steriilZef
tray for instruments. being made in
such shape with that object in view.
While this form of surgical supply
was invented and put into practice uw-
ing to the need of such a departure
among our own troops in Cuba and the
Philippines, | am confident that the
canned dressings will eventually be
depended on by practitioners in private
practice. because it is extremely diff
cult for surgeon to deal with emer-
genciex such as often arise on true
antiseptic principles. The idea may
sound queer to a layman, but every
surgeon recognizes the value of the
invention on general principles, and
especially with regard To its avai.abili-
ty for emergency service with an

threaten him with punishment, he will
still persist in maintaining his inno-

of the misdeed and mutter in astonish-
