OUR coUNTRY'S STRENGTH.
contaminated by Selfishness
and Corruption.

To speak of the ignorance of the
country people is to stamp ones self
as an ignoramus-not the country
people.
There is an intelligence and sound
ness in the back country of this land
of ours, that those who live in cities
and think themselves wise little sus-
pect. Instead Of deprecating country
life, and saying that "to live in the
country means to live out of the
world" wise people know that the
free, untrammeled life of the country
unquestionably gives broader views.
We can talk all we like of social
revolutions" and kindred evils that are
supposed by some to threaten the
country; but when they do threaten,
the danger signal will come from the
back country.
In the clear air of the farm the view
is broader, the heart sounder; and
when anything does menace the land,
the true voice which will stamp it out
will be apt to come from the country.
The backbone of the land rests in
the country, on the farm.-Farm Jour

INFLUENCE OF YOUNG WOMEN,
They Can Do Much to Help Young
Men to the Attainment of
Boftier Ambitions

Here is part of a young girls
life of which the large majority think
very little. To amuse and entertain
each other seems the chief end for
which young men and women come
together, and neither sex seems re-
gardful of what may result from
what they say or do, so long as the
laugh is merry one; the young girl
feels that she is admired, the young
man is gratifed by evident satisfac-
ton in his society, says the Ledger
Monthly.
The setting ones self up as a sort
of reformer and making all the young
men whom you know feel as if they
were under a microscope which will
disclose all their defects, will not aid
you or them. The right step to take
first is to set up a high and noble
standard for yourself, and then dem
onstrate its charm by your own at
traction.
One way in which pleasant girl
friend can help mans life is by
the character of her conversation.
What one wants to accomplish is to
speak freely and pleasantly about
things which are delightful to talk
about, to avoid gossip and evil speak
ing of others, to use clean pure Eng
fish, without slang, and to lead the
conversation into impersonal chan
nels.
She should know enough of cur
rent events to speak understanding
ly about the things that we all ought
to know, and which all young men
like to discuss-the things which stir
the nations heart-the events which
rouse the attention of the world-the
books which excite public attention
the beautiful things of the earth
which are about you-the good deeds
of good men and women who. are
helping the world along-to check
any unkind talebearing or insinua-
ton, or especially any criticism of
girls you know. A man goes away
refreshed from a visit which has
made him think and talk of such
things, and especially if he has had a
sweet bright young girl to talk to.
The world our young men have to
work in is hard. rough place. and
they have no time to think quietly
over what lies outside of the confines
of their days duty. To find that
their girl companions have always
some new, interesting thing, sincere
ly and simply GOOD to talk about, is
a great source of enjoyment and a
big step upward.
A young girl in whose society
young men feel that they are sure
to receive some inspiration to i'm
prove themselves is surely good for
something" which helps the prog

tile, against the outside of the founda-
ton wall, should be of a nature to let
the water down quickly to the tile.
Otherwise a great deal will find its
way through the stones of the wall
and enter the cellar, especially during
heavy rain, when the ground is
soaked with moisture. There is al
ways space outside to be filled after
laying foundation wall. Let this be
filed with gravel or small stones. and
the water will fall down at once to
the tile drain. Take special care in the
laying of this drain, for when once
down it is very great job to take any
part of it up again.-N. Y Tribune.

SAVING CORN FODDER.
when Properly Preserved in "A Dry
state IL Contains as Much Nu-
triment as SiInge.

There is a growing interest in the
preservation of corn fodder, and
farmers are finding that cows do we'll
upon corn fed in the husk. II has been
my practice for several years to cut
up the corn when about half the blades
are ripened, and to feed it to my COWS
in winter letting them do the husl1ing
and the grinding. They do this work
cheaper than 1 can do it. l do not feed
ensilage. sell my milk to the con-
densing factory, and our factory has
not progressed far enough yet to take
milk that is made from ensilage.
If dry corn fodder is properly pre-
served it will contain as much nutri-
ment as ensilage does, and more. The
trouble is that most of us do not prop
erly save it. When boy we used to
cut off the tops of the corn stalks
above the ear and save this for fodder.
1t made excellent fodder, too. Wheth-
err or not it was then argued-as some
times it has been since-that the top
ping helped the development of the
ear, l do not remember. 1t is of no
advantage in that direction, however,
and topping is a waste, for stock will
consume pretty nearly the entire
stalk, if it is cut up at the right time
and shredded. 1t seems strange that
as valuable a forage as good corn
stalks should have so long been unap-
preciated. Good corn fodder is bet
ter than timothy hay, and immensely
hn r. L.,
hay that is fed. 0ver-ripe timothy,
for instance, is not much of an i'm
provement over dry fence rail so far
as food for animals is concerned.-S.

Starvation After Plenty.

Farmers, as rule, accustomed to
raising grain for market, find a good
deal of time for leisure in the winter
months, and when they embark in
the business of feeding cattle are too
often found away from home when
they should be caring for this stock.
To be confined at home day after
day, morning, noon and night, no ex-
ception for Sundays and legal holt
days, does not harmonic with for
mer habits, and the troughs and
racks are filed to overlooking at one
time, and allowed to remain empty
the next, hunger following surfeit in
regular order.-Farmers' Review.

big Angora Goat Farm.

Maryland is soon to have an Angora
goat farm. A tract of AGO acres of farm
land near Cedarville has been pur-
chased by several wealthy men of the
state with the intention of raising
Angora goats on an extensive scale.
A company has been formed, and it is
the intention to stock the farm with a
large flock of the goats-probably
5000 in number. The situation is said
to be very favorable to the develop
ment of the Angora goat, and the Off
cial reports of the success attending
their raising in countries other than
that to which they are native encour-
aged the formation of this Angora
goat company.

STOCKS FOR sHIRTwA1sTs.
Some Handy NecIwear That Is Easily
Made and Laundered at
Home.

The summer girl at last has real
lied that the comfort of her shirt
waist is more than half spoiled by
the discomfort of her stiff linen col
lars, and this year has betaken her
self to stocks. While some of these
are really very little improvement on
collars, as far as comfort is con-
cerned, others are delightfully."- soft
and thin, and the beauty of all is
they are easily Numbered and easily
made at hoIne, says Marie Boulanger,
in Chicago Record Herald.
One of the simplest is the stock
tie. Take a strip of white nainsool1,
thin but not too sheer, or of dimity,
~ yards long and inches wide,
and round it slightly at the throat
by collar pattern that opens in the
back. With bias strip of colored
chambray or lawn one inch wide bind
the entire tie by sewing one edge
of the bias strip to edge of tie, fold
ing it in the middle and stitching
down the other edge over the first
seam.
These ties are worn without any
other collar, and are put around the
neck, crossed in the back and tied
in front in bow or four-in-hand.
Made with a binding of "old blue"
or rose" they look well with near
ly any shirt waist, but the color is,
of course, mere matter of personal
taste.
Another, easily made, too, is the
crush stock of white pique, cheviot
or even duck, with colored ends.
These have a straight edge at the
top, which gives a more decidedly
crushed effect when worn. They are
made by sewing two thicknesses of
pique together, stitching around
edges and adding any kind of ties
one likes. There are the short ties
for mere knot, the rounded or
pointed for a small bow and long
ends for a four-in-hand, made of
material of shirt waist with which
| stock is to be worn, of solid cham
bray or linen, or some OF the pretty
white shirt waist stuffs sold in the
shops. One of these tics is sewed
only at its extreme edges, so as to
leave slit for other tie to go through
when put around the neck. Still an
other very effective one is made from
a lady's linen or lawn handkerchief,
with narrow hemstitched hem and
tiny vine of embroidery First fold
the handker chief from corner to cor
ner and cut in a straight line one and
| one-half inches from each side of the
fold. Cut this strip in two crosswise
and you have two bias pieces with
pointed ends, formed by corners Of
handkerchief, for ends OF the tie.
Fell these neatly to straight piece
of lawn 20 inches long and three
inches wide and hem both sides. Use
the two other corners of handker-
chief for points, which are sewed
to the middle of top edge of tie and
turned down over it to complete the
handkerchief stock.

NOTES ON ALFALFA.
1t Requires Large Quantities of Lime
Which Should Be Applied the
Previous Fall.

Lime is very necessary element in
the soil, at least in states where the
plant may be considered out of its nat
ural region. The lime should be APP
piled the fall previous to the seeding
and should be we'll narrowed into the
soil. If commercial fertilizers are to
be used they should be applied just
previous to the seeding, unless we ex-
cept Stag, which should be put on some
months before. The manure should
be applied after the cutting, prefer
alfalfa is to get a good start and
good deal of nursing is required for
the first year. For this reason the
surface soil should be carefully pre-
pared, so that the roots may penetrate
the earth as rapidly as possible. After
it is started, care must be taken not to
NOW it too close or pasture it too soon
or too close. 1t will not recover so
rapidly as does grass, and sometimes
not at all. This is especially true dur
ing the first year. 1t takes number
OF years for the roots to get good de-
velopment. They should therefore
have soil with good depth between
the surface and the water table.
Though alfalfa is water-loving plant
it cannot grow with its roots saturat-
ed. 1t is not by any means an aquatic
plant, even to its roots. This is one
reason why it fails on some soils-the
water table being too near the surface
of the ground. Weeds must be kept
out the first year, as they have bet
ter fighting chance at first than the
