THE BOY AND The FARM.

How often we hear parents discour
aging the boys who wish to stay on
the farm. They refer. to farm WORK
as drudgery and that which tends to
make them slaves to work, rather than
independent men. The brightest boys
are educated for professional men, and
in many Instances excel, but the vast
majority of these. with a good prac-
tical education, such as can be gained
in our schools OF agriculture, would
become wealthy, progressive farmers,
with fine farms and beautiful homes
If they had been encouraged and adj
vised to stay by the old farm and
make 1t success.

POULTRY NOTES.

Hens that are over two years old
are not the most profitable layers.
You need not expect your hens to
lay regularly If you confine them to
diet of corn. Vary their food as
much as possible,
1t is so easy to provide frst-class
drinking fountains that there is little
excuse for the poultry man who fails
to keep his fowls supplied with pure
water.
Don't feed your chickens putrid OF
tainted meat simply because the
butcher offers 1t to you free. You can
better afford to pay him good price
for fresh meat
Oats when fed whole should be
cooked couple Of hours before be
ing given. 1t win digest more read
lily and is not liable to stick in and
irritate the throat and crop.
If your poultry houses have dirt
floors you should dig them up, good
and deep, and il possible expose them
to the direct rays Of the sun and a
free passage, Of air during the day,

GARDEN NOTES.

1t pays to plant peonies in the early
before winter and form buds that give
far better bloom than the spring set
tings. ~
We are using a six-shovel, double
cultivator in much of our small stuff
this spring, and by putting the shields
down close to the ground 1t is doing
splendid work and saving one mans
time every hour it is in use over a
single machine.
Keeping the drives neatly trimmed
with the hoe adds wonderfully to the
appearance Of the lawn. It's hard to
find time to do 1t, but It pays.
The jack pine seems to stand hard
knocks the best Of any evergreen we
know. Transplanting, shipping, and
blue grass sod that causes SO many
trees to sull1 or die outright, may give
them the blues for little while, but
they seem to have the right kind OF
nerve to stand hardships.
The Golden Glow, OF summer chrys-
anthemum, is not only perfectly hardy
with us and fine late summer flower,
but makes a fine foliage plant early
in the season. It is deseryedly be
coming very popular
1t is interesting to note how well
trees remember good care that they
have received the previous season,
Really large share of the thrift of
tree depends upon the store of nour-
ishment and vitality laid up the year
before. We should not encourage our
trees to be spendthrifts, but rather
keep them storing up energy, health
and fruitfulness for future seasons.

oLEANINcs BY THE WAY.

The farmer who keeps his eyes open
from now on will be very likely to
see a good many things that ought to
be done before cold weather sets in.
But then, there are not many times in
the year that farmer can not see
a good many things to do. And when
there is nothing else to crowd him.
he can put in whole lot of time to
good advantage in identifying his
premises.
AS soon as the vegetables are all
gathered from the garden it shout
be cleaned of all rubbish and given
a good coat of compost, good and deep,
for next springs seeding. There is
always good deal of spring work
that ought to be done in the fall, and
a garden prepared in this manner will
always repay the owner with gem
erous yield of vegetables.
Just now, too, is good time to cut
a supply of marsh grass to cover the
strawberry beds, as 1t is much better
and cleaner than straw or hay. And
right here will say, do not uncover
the strawberry beds too early In the
spring. In this climate we cannot
hope to compete with southern grow
ers. and by having out berries a little
late last spring We sold them for three
and four cents more box than those
that came In earlier.
Farmers quite often raise a pretty
good garden and then let the vegeta-
bles freeze before they are gathered.
This IS rather poor economy. If some
work must be neglected, let It be
something that will not shorten the
winter rations OF deprive the family
OF q good scarcity Of wholesome food.

They were on their way home at
2 a. M. AS they turned into their own
quiet cross town street after leaving

YEARLY.

am to get near home once more, but
how very lonely it'seems around here
I don't believe there is soul abroad

said. There is a woman ringing the

BILE to get In"
The apparently forlorn condition Of
The past-midnight prowler touched a
sympathetic chord in Mrs. Broadway's
bosom. She had been locked out her
self on several occasions, and knew
how 1t went.

go over and ask her if we can be Of
any assistance to her"
The woman on the doorstep gave

helplessly. 81 have no key and this

Mr.. Broadway reached over the
stone balustrade to the front window.

way. l think l may be able to boost
YOU in through the front window l

He pressed upward on the sash and
the window rose slowly and with a
slightly creaking sound ut is all
right, he said, and pushed still hard.

why city horses so often show bad
knees and legs is because they never
get this natural exercise. They are

that position which, under natural
conditions they would occupy about
half the time. They thus fall an easy

as convenient as the one most gen
orally practiced, and for this reason

An ideal flower garden is one In
which there is something in bloom
from the earliest blossom of spring
the snowdrop, to the Christmas rose,
which can be gathered from under the
snow. Such a succession of bloom
can be obtained by the selection Of
proper varieties of bulbs, ANNALS,
hardy perennials and shrubs, and it is
not necessary to have a large garden
in order to bring it about.

Simple truth is an essential life
foundation No worthy life can be
built on falsehood fraud, pretense or
deception. Truth in thought and word
and deed must be at the bottom of
every noble life. Deep down in the
soul there must be loyalty to truth
which no question of expedience or
success can for an instant shake. The
life founded on truth in principle and
practice can never be overthrow.

THE KIND OF A MARE TO BREED

If able to do SO, secure full-blood
mares for brood purposes. If this is
beyond your means, then secure the
very best grades possible, being sure
to select good individuals. Do not
patronize the grade sire as matter
OF convenience or little saving in
expense, neither be satisfied that the
sire is good enough because of his
tail being cut short and his being a
genuine imported horse. After all. he
may not be well bred or worth dol
lar as a stock horse. While we are
blessed with many worthy importers
who bring us the best they can Sc
cure from across the water, regardless
of expense, so also are we cursed with
many INSCRIPTIONS dealers, who are

SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
Indiana Tailor Claims Cheap Fuel
Question Is Solved.

Charles e. Haas. a we'll known tailor
Elkhart, Ind, thinks ne has solved
the cheap fuel question in the discov-
cry OF a substitute for coal, produced
by the mixing OF seven different
chemicals together and giving volume
and shape to the compound by satur-
ating dirt or mud and molding it in
the desired form. He says the weight
and bulk are about the same as those
of hard coal, but a winters supply
will cost about one-half what coal
would cost under natural conditions,
where coal Is not scarce, as atpresent.
Mr.. Haas refuses to divulge the
name of any Of the chemicals used,
but says they were dissolved and their
proper proportions ascertained by over
a years experiment based on a know
ledge Of chemistry gained through
study during his leisure hours for the
last nine years.
The bricks burn practically like
anthracite coal, except that they last
longer than Jumps Of coal of equal
size, and the residue is a fine ash. with
alsGwan occasional lump or clinker.

Libel Suit Thrown Out With Com
pliments of the Court.

After a trial lasting four Gays the
suit OF b II. Crawford againso the
Marshalltown Ua.) Times-Republcan
for $4,000 damages for al eyed libel
was ended by the court taking case
from the jury and directing verdict
for the paper,
In defense the Time Republican ad-
mitted the publication OF the articles
and set up the plea that every state.
ment in them was true. AT the close
of the testimony plaintiffs 5 own admis-
sions were such that defendants at
torney moved the court To direct a ver-
dict for defendant newspaper, first, be-
cause the evidence proved that the ar
ticles were all true and published in
good faith and, secondly, because the
publications were privileged condition
ally, since there was no evidence Of
malice shown. The motion was sus.
tanned, Commenting on the case, the
court said:
II must say / have never heard
case tried In court where there was
as little reason or excuse for the case
being in court as this one. The plain
tiff himself takes the witness stand
and substantially admits seriatim
every material statement made in

admit them as made, IL is only diff

TALLY admits the charge in each case.
in each allegation, as being substan-
TALLY true, perhaps, when 1t comes to
a money question, not the full amount
and in some other matters not just as
it is stated, but IL is fairly inferrable,
from his admissions, that the facts
set out in these publications are sub
stantially true, and he so admits
them.
1t is the duty OF newspaper man
when he conducts and publishes
newspaper to give the news TO the
public, and If 1t is done In good faith
and without malice or intention To
wrong or injure another, If 1t is sub
stantially correct, il is conditionally
privileged, and therefore there is no
liability on the part Of the publisher
to one who claims he is wronged ln a
suit against the publisher for damages
and IL this paper has ever done good
service 1t seems TO noe 1t has In this
matter. Now, the charges that were
made against this plaintiff had been
circulated broadcast throughout that
community before these publications.
1t did not seem TO have affected either
him or his business very materially
until it came out In the newspaper.
Then, when the same facts that had
been known to every one were pub
lished in the newspaper, from that
moment it seems TO have put check
upon his somewhat wild and mad
career, and, as his claims, damage has
Iresulted to him. Consequently in this
particular case the newspaper has
served the public in way that is very
creditable TO it and a protection to
that community"
