ROOM AT TIE TOP.
The Man who Is Determined to Win
VIII Succeed in Spite of All
Obstacles.

The old school maXims ''There is al
ways room at the top" mo excellence
without great labor" etc, etc, are as
true in after life work as they are for
the youngster who is just launching
out to try his hand at conquering the
world. They may be old and common
place, but if there ever has been any
truth in them it is still there. The
great trouble with most people after
they have passed a certain age or have
had a certain amount of experience
they begin to formulate maXims and
ideas of their own, and those which
were good in their earlier life are dis
carded.
Even in the most humble and obscure
work we find one man advancing more
rapidly than another. Among hewers
of wood and drawers of water we find
leaders, those who take an honest
pride in their work and by their own
efforts advance themselves beyond
those who toll with them. Careful
study and an absorbing interest will
show an improvement in the live stock
and crops of the farm. The man who
desires to be the best feeder, breeder
or farmer in his neighborhood will
find an inspiration in his work that
those who do not care to improve will
never know. There is room at the top
for the man who wants to get there in
any line of business. If the bottom is
satisfactory to a man he will be likely
to be found there. If some men would
cultivate a little more ambition and
fewer weeds they would be much bet
ter off. Not failure but low aim is
crime" is an adage that we all might
keep in our minds to a decided advan-
tage.-Nationa Stockman.

is difficult of access, is they occupy
deep ravine in the Sierra Madre de-
Norte range, in the state of Jalisco'
They are hemmed in by huge mountain
walls 5000 to 10000 feet in height.
Here they have been able to defy all
invasion from the outside world and
have expelled the missionaries who
came to teach them. No churches or
priests are allowed in their country.
and they are living in the same grade
of culture as when Cortez first put foot
on Mexican soil.
Having preserved their ancient Gus.
toms and beliefs unaffected by white
contact, they are more than ordinarily
interesting to ethnologists. For the
first time their products have now
been brought to civilization and their
mythology reported on.
The HuichoI number about 1000.
They dress in garments of their own
manufacture, decorated with elabor-
ate and artistic designs. The most in
teresting industry of the people is
weaving. The women make belts,
sashes and pouches of cotton and wool
The ribbons and sashes are ornament
ed with odd and beautiful figures, all
of which have a symbolic meaning.
DIR. Lumholtz' collections among this
tribe not only cover the whole range OF
their industries, but illustrate in q
most exhaustive manner the beliefs
and ceremonials of the people.
Their country is comparatively arid
and their food supply depends largely
upon the regularity of the rainfall
For this reason most of their cere-
monies are intended to propitiate the
gods, of rain, and all the objects they
use in their ceremonial worship are
covered with symbols Indicating rain.
Most of their gods have control over
clouds and rain. In each village there
is large temple around which stand
number of small houses sacred to
various deities. In these are deposited
the offerings made by the people, says
the New York Herald.
Woven shields are sacrificed for good
luck. These bear designs of the sym
bols of the deity to whom they are Of
fered. On others are shown the ami
mails sacred to the deity and pictori
representation of the object of the
prayer. A man who prays for tbs
health of his wife will make an offer
ing on which the figure of a woman il
| represented weaving or painting
When he prays for the welfare of his
herds figures of cattle or sheep are
| represented on his offering, while g
| woman who prays for skill in any kind
of handiwork sacrifices a sample of it
A. symbol of, prayer is attached tt
an arrow. The arrow is frequently
stuck into the thatched roof of thu
temple and is supposed TO take q
course toward the deity, carrying the
wishes of the supplicant. In the tenn.
pies are also found chairs in which
the god is supposed to sit. Symbols
of prayers are often attached to the
seats, where they will at once attract
the attention of the deity.

PeafovIs Around the Farm,

Peafowls are not only ornamental
but excellent for the table. They are
slow in reaching maturity, and the hen
seldom lays before she is two years
old. The chicks, however, grow very
rapidly at first, but as they begin to
feather almost at the start of life
they require frequent feeding or they
will perish. They soon begin to fly,
and roost on the highest positions
they can find. The hen lays from ten
to sixteen eggs, according to age and
treatment. The young chicks should
be fed the same as young turkeys, but
meat, finely chopped, should be given
three times a week after the first
week. The male is ID quarrelsome bird
in the barnyard, and often makes
short work of young chicks. They
are more ornamental than profitable,
though the tail feathers may be pulled
for sale as soon as the moulting season
begins.-Mirror and Farmer

The highest viaduct in the world has
just been built across a gorge in the

About 100000 geese are annually

BUzz1NGs FROM BREDoM.

The young and unsealed brood
should always occupy the center of the
brood nest.
The best time to improve the bees
by selecting and breeding is early in
the season.
1t is unwise to draw from moderate
ly strong stocks too early in the sea-
son to strengthen weak ones.
In spreading brood combs and in
sorting empty combs, care must be
taken not to spread too rapidly.
In order to obtain the greatest
amount of honey swarming or increase
must be controlled to some extent.
The principal objection to clipping
the wings of the queen to prevent
swarming is the liability of losing the
queen.
Bees must have plenty of water con-
venient. In the spring if a little salt
is added all the better. A salt barrel
with water in it will do.
So far as can be done it will be found
very desirable to keep each variety
of honey Sc parate when it is stored
throughout the season.-National Ru-

OlIahOma,s Salad DAYS.

A few years ago, when the new
lands in the Indian territory were
opened, the small towns which
sprang up were filed with very
mixed population, the theaters and
travelling theatrical companies were
on a par with the towns they visited.
One night the writer was in Okla
homa City and stepped into a thea
ter where 'TriIby'' was being played.
The house was packed from top to
bottom with tough characters, and
the character of the actors and their
acting was, if anything, tougher, SO
that even the audience became rest
less.
The play finally reached the point
where Little Billee is supposed to
clasp Tribly passionately in his arms,
instead of which, he held her at arms
length, with as much ardor as he
would have shown to bale of hay,
and exclaimed: ooh, Trilby, nothing
can come between us''-whereat a
six-foot COW puncher in the gallery
leaned over the railing and shouted
in tones of supreme disgust: CAV,
git out! yer could trow a COW between
yer!"-S. B. Darlington, in Anecdotes.

CROPS FOR POULTRY.
There Is stilI Time to Put Them In
and 1t VIII BE q Good Invest
ment to Do 1t.

Where poultry is raised in large num-
bers on the so-calIed poultry farms it
will pay well to put in special crops to
supply the required green food. Plen-
ty of green's are essential in late fall
and during winter, if best egg results
are to be ATTAINED. There are num-
Der of things that are suitable to plant
for the purpose. If there is a field
that the fowls can have access to dur
ing winter-that is, if it is located
near enough to their quarters Grim
son clover planted about the middle
of August will make a splendid win
ter pasture and will supply required
nitrogen for egg-making to form a
balanced ration with other food given.
The clover can be turned under early
in May or before with great benefit to
the land, so the crop can be made to
serve double purpose. Rye can be
used in the same way, but it is not con-
sidered as valuable for either purpose
as the crimson clover. OF the root
crops mangles are excellent, as they
can be used for green's and may also be
boiled and utilized to mix with the
regular morning meal. Turnips and
rutabagas are also good poultry
crops. If the turnips are planted
near the henhouse it is a good plan to
leave some of the turnips in the
ground. The hens will take great de-
light on favorable winter days in pick
ing at them, and the exercise will do
them good. Farmers who do much
truck gardening have considerable
waste that is not marketable that
could be used in the poultry yard with
much profit. Poultry that are sup
piled during winter with an allow
ance of bulky green food do much
better than when the diet is mainly
grain. In fact, the aim should always
be at all seasons to provide the flock
each day with bulky food of some
kind. Close observation will show
that hens confined to limited space
are always eager for bulky food. They
viii eat dry shattered clover tops and
sometimes dry grass ravenously There
is plenty of time to put in poultry
crops, and it will be a good investment
to do it.-Baltimore Sun.

How to Manage chickens.

Do not try to crowd too many chick
ems into one coop or give too many
to the care of one hen. Much of the
mortality among young chickens is
due to this cause, and many think
themselves fortunate to raise one-half
the chickens that are Matched out,
while others by having vigorous breed
ing stock, taking care to keep coops
clean and free from vermin, to give
only wholesome food, which is not
necessarily the fancy foods of boiled
eggs, oatmeal. boiled rice, bread
crumbs, etc, which are recommended
by many, and by avoiding overcrowd-
ing in coops do not lose one in hua-
dred.-Ameriean Cultivator.

WOMEN LIKE IN MEN.
Chief Graces Are to Re Attentive and
Appear Well When in
Society.

The casual everyday accomplish
ments of man have much to do
with women's liking; and first of all
comes savior faire, says a writer in
the Cosmopolitan. He may or may
not be what is rather vulgarIy de
scribed as ''a society man. vet he
must understand and be familiar
with the myriad little usages that
form society's unwritten law. To be
at ease in any set, to be equal to
emergencies, to carry off an awkward
situation with urbanity and perfect
f-possession-this faculty wins un-
stinted admiration from a woman.
And then there are the things that
go with this knowledge of the prop
er thing to do, the little courtesies,
the delicate and tactfu1 attentions
that mean anything and nothing, the
ability to order dinner properly, to
make things go off smoothly, to car
'ry out a plan without a bIunder or
jar, the carriage ready at the proper
moment, the flowers specially ar
ranged, the right seats at the the
alter, everything foreseen, every pos
sible occurrence provided for, every
want anticipated, every contretemps
avoided.
These are all unimportant in them
selves, yet in the mass they Eever
fail to create, strong impression in
woman; for a woman hates
blunders and Will trust man in
great things if she sees that he has
a genius for making small things go
of well.

SAYING MEAN THINGS.
4 Disagreeab1e Habit which Is Gull
tivated Most AssiduOusIy by Too
Many Women.

It is unhappily true that many peo-
pie take great delight in saying dis
agreeable things to their friends,
but there are very few who have suf-
ficient courage or frankness to speak
openly or to risk being considered
rude or malicious. So they will use
a great deal of circumlocution to
convey the disagreeable truth or
criticism which they feel unable to
resist uttering, but for which they
do not wish to be held accountable.
AS everyone knows by unpleasant ex-
perience, a remark that may wound
deeply may be yelled with conven-
tional politeness so thoroughly that
the malice of the speaker cannot be
detected, and, although you who lis
ten know, and the speaker knows you
know, that the cutting speech is
made with a purpose, there is moth
ing to take exception to.
DO you know how Mrs. Sharp
manages to say the most unpleasant
things to your face she can think
OFF" said one of her victims. ''She
repeats a remark presumably made
by third person who never existed,
an imaginary Mrs. Harris, who says
everything she is dying to say her
self, and does not dare to. 1 have
discovered that she has a regular
plan of working. First, she begins
by exciting your curiosity. She has
heard something about you, she
gives you to understand in a round
about fashion, and, of course, you
want to know what it is. But it
will vex you,' she purrs; then you
get wilder than ever and insist upon
being told. Finally, after much per-
suasion, she tells you of some re-
mark that has been made about you
that makes you feel uncomfortable
all over. Of course, nothing will in
duce her to tell you who has said it,
and you are left under the impress
sion that it is one of your friends
who has either maligned you or ex-
posed your faults. It took me
long time to find her out, but feel
sure now that she makes everything
up, and then shields herself behind
an imaginary third person."-N. Y.

The Color of Egg Shells.

There is no uniformity in the colors
of the eggs. The breeds that lay brown
eggs do not produce them always of
a dark color. Even two sisters Will
vary the color of their eggs. The tend
ency is to lay eggs that are white. 1t
is an old expression that ''all non-sit-
tiers lay white eggs" 1t is also claimed
that the greater the tendency of the
hen to set, the darker the color of her
eggs. When it is reported that
Leghorn produces eggs that have
brown shells it may be claimed as a
freak, or something unusual, though
it is not an impossibility, and where
such cases arise they are exceptions;
but outside of the non-sitters the
eggs from hens of carly all breeds
will vary greatly in color.-Farm and

other ways. Cow cookie has spread
with alarming rapidity throughout the
northwest, becoming one of the worst
weeds of that section. 1t is widely
disseminated in the fall by the tops of
the plants being blown about by the
wind like tumbleweeds.
This is poisonous to some extent,
but just how virulent the poison in it
is has not yet been determined. An
extract of the seed fed to a rabbit
caused severe sickness. A little of
the same solution injected into anoth-
er rabbit under the skin resulted in
death in a few hours. This plant
should not therefore be eaten by stock,
nor should its seeds be permitted to
remain in wheat that is to be milled
for four.-Farmers' Review.
