Tho Time for Thinking.

The best time for deep thinking is
when other duties are not pressing.
Long winter evenings have always
been famous for developing mental
processes and perfecting intellectual
merchandise. 1t is a time when the
host of experiences may be assem-
bled in battle array and subjected to
a rigid inspection, and each intangi-
BILE individual questioned as to its
right to exist as factor in future
operations; when contending theo-
ries may be culled, as fancier culls
his cockerels, the palpably worthless
abandoned, the possibly worthy sub
jected to further experimentation
and new and better ones initiated. In
all undertakings there is period for
thought that necessarily precedes in
telligent action. 1t is the initiatory
process and Indispensable. TO begin
action without mental preparation is
like shingling roof from the top
ownwards-leakage and labor lost
will be the sure result. This is as
true in agriculture as elsewhere. The
farmer should read everything he
can get hold of concerning his bust
ness. He should carefully sift the
chaff from the sound grain. He
should keep in touch with the expert
ment station work, in his state, at
least, and let no valuable informa-
ton pass him without taking toll Of
it.-Texas Farm and Rancher.

CARMEN SYLvA'S TALES.
"a Real Queens Fairy Tales II the
Latest Book from the Pen of
Houmanin's Queen.

Elizabeth, queen of Roumania,
whose pen name of Carmen Sylvia is
known all over the world, has writ
ten new volume of fairy tales. The
book is issued in half dozen differ
ent countries. The American transla-
ton By Miss Edith Hopkirk is charm
ing in its simplicity and grace. George
1. b. Davis has written an enthusiasts
tic Introduction, in which he tells the
chief points in Carmen Sylva's life.
She is charming hostess and bril-
liant conversatienalist, being able to
entertain her guests with equal grace
IN half dozen different languages.
The queens literary work includes
novels, poems, dramas, proverbs, q
philosophical treatise, and an opera
Hbretto, but she finds her greatest de-
light in writing fairy tales. The
worldwide popularity of these tales
Is easily understood after reading her
last volume. The stories are about
children and for children, and their
IDEAS and imagery as well as their
language are just of the right kind
to hold child spellbound. The
fairies are of the good and noble va
riety, and their rewards are bestowed
upon the little boys and girls who do
the most unselfish acts. The tales
breathe an elevatirg influence, yet
their morals are not of the dull or
obvious kind. The moral is part of
the warp and wool of the story.
The supernatural is a subsidiary
element in Carmen Sylvas fairy tales.
1t is used chiefly to give scope to her
own tastes and Iongipgs, as when she
creates fairy that changes base
metal into gold to aid in deed of
Kindness, or when she causes a fairy
to help a musician in writing mas
terpiece. Her love of the woods, of
birds and flowers, of music and chill
dren and of gentleness and uuselfsh-
ness is embodied in these tales with
real literary art.
In the concluding chapter Carmen
sylvia explains to her child readers

In order that hens may lay well,
they should never be allowed to have
full crops during the day. 1t is all
right to feed them light meal Of
mixed warm food in the morning, in
troughs, but it should be only one
fourth the amount required. Why?
Because it the hens go away from
their troughs unsatisfied, as they
then will, they will-seek food more
eagerly, devouring it grain by grain,
and the healthy exercise thus en-
gagged in will cause it too pass into
the gizzard as it should and be prop
erly digested. By supplying grain in
litter, they will gradually accumtt-
late enough to last them through the
night, and while they are at roost,
it can leisurely be forwarded from
the crop to the gizzard.
1t is in the feeding of soft food
that the beginner is liable to make
the most mistakes. 1t leads him to
overfeed and pamper the hens, and
as consequence they reach a con-
dition sooner or later when they will
not lay. Even whole grain, without
any variation. is preferable to too
much soft food; soft food, when fed
at all, should be carefully measured.
AS matter of fact, quart of mixed
ground grain, moistened and in a
crumbly condition, is sufficient for
the morning feed of forty hens. After
they have sharpened up their appe-
tites with this. several quarts OF
whole grain, more or less, according
to the kind of hens kept, and also the
condition under which they are con-
fined, may be scattered in the litter
for them to seek and secure for
themselves.-Fred o. Sibley, in Epit.
omist.

its cutting is in inverse proportion

MANY farmers do not appreciate

With manufacturers it is different.
The intelligent maker of things
Knows that he can not compete in
his business unless he has the very

Shallow cultivation is best for
the orchard, as well as the field. The
feeding roots that forage in the sur
face soil should never be disturbed
by the pillow. The turning pillow should
be banished from the orchard after
the trees are set.
There must be same profit in
growing cabbages in south Texas, as
the Corpus Christi Caller says Mr..
Henry Wagner. a cabbage grower
near Nueces town, has just purchased
an automobile.
1t is not business-like for q
farmer to set price on any product
unless he knows precisely what that
product cost him. What if a mer-
chant really, as they often claim to
do, sell regardless of cost?" OF
course, an assignment would follow.
The average yield per acre of
corn in this country for 1901 is the
lowest on record-two bushels less
than that of 1ss1--long the record
breaker for low average. The aver
age this year is put at 16 bushels;
the average for that for 1900 wss q
bushels.
There are many farmers who can

Sc0LDING IS AN ART.
DO Not Make Any One Rebukc Long
Drawn Out and Give Each
Hopeful Ending.

The woman in authority should
study consideration of other peoples
feelings. The common scold or the
continual fault-fnder is perhaps the
most disagreeable person in the
world, not only unhappy herself, but
making others so.
Scolding, viewed in one light, is
really an accomplishments is
when used for the proper correction
of servants and children. If you feel
called upon to deliver rebuke to
servant~make it clear to the offender
that your displeasure is justified;
never lose your temper, but be calm
and dignified, for remember that
your bearing has much to do with the
respect that you are held in by those
under your authority. Never let a
scolding degenerate into nagging,
for if you do you lose all claim for re-
spect from the delinquent and the
person at fault becomes your critic.
and a very scornful critic at that
Let all seedlings be gagged by the
error, but do not make any one rebuke
long drawn out. Give each hopeful
ending.
When properly administered a mer-
tied scolding quickly bears the fruit
of better behavior on the part Of the
offending one.
Many wives have spoiled the good
nature of their husbands by seizing-
upon some fault, trivial perhaps, and
constantly dwelling upon it.
Where home is made unhappy by
a great fault of the husband, if he is
worthy of loving and saving, he is
more effectively appealed to by ten
derness than by denunciation or
scorn. There are many men to-day in
the wrong path possessed of worthy
attributes, who might be saved by
gentle reproof from the error of
their ways, but are only spurred On
their downward course by the unre-
lenting fierceness of scolding wife
Those who have been saved from evil
ways bear witness to the efficacy OF
the gentle sympathy and loving adj
vice of true helPmate.-N. Y. World.
