Must Do some Thinking.

ANY farmer who depends altogether
on the seasons and hard work for sue
cess in his business, may make some
sort of a living, and even increase his
small capital by natural increment,
but he will never merit the appellation
of successful farmer. Industry is good
trait of character, but often good de-
gree of that which looks like laziness
leads to better results. For instance a
man may be SO lazy that he habitually
works hard on labor-saving contriv-
ances, by which he can accomplish
greater results with less labor-do
more and better work with less physi-
cal exertion. He may be so lazy that
he will do no work in a slip-shod
manner, for in that case he would
have to do the work over again. No
farmer can be successful unless he does
a large amount of mental labor, and
mental labor saves physical labor, and
makes what physical labor is neces-
sary far more effective. The very
best work at tine very best time can
not be done by unaided physical eff
fort. To do such work requires deep
and persistent study.-Farm and

USArrRAcrIvE FA RMS.
No SeIf-Respecting Farmer Will Al
low His Property to Become
an EyesOre.

Why are there so many unattrac-
tive farms in the country-lack Of or
namentation about the dwelling, d.
lapidated out-buildings, ramshackle
fences, and gates that have to be
propped up to keep them from falling
down. and that require as much time
and labor to open and shut them dur
ing single day as would be required
to give them all needed repairs? We
hesitate about answering this query.
1t is not probable that the cause is
laziness, for the owner may work from
sunrise to dark. Perhaps it is lack of
pride in his farm and home, and per-
haps he is content II his equipment
can be made to serve the purpose for
which it was intended. 1t may be
partly lack of appreciation for the
virtues of paint, or tendency to pro-
vide for the present only, and let the
futre take care of itself. However it
may be, such farms are offensive to
people of taste and give the passer-
by low estimate of the intrinsic worth
of the lord of the mancr. We have
seen farm houses where children have
been born and raised to manhood and
womanhood without yard fences, shade
trees or artificial ornament or convent
ence of any sort, where the open coun-
try about the house resembled COW
lot, cattle, horses and hogs seeking
the shadow of the house for protection
from the hot sun, and the leeward side
of the same structure for shelter
against the cold winds OF winter OF
course, such cases are extreme ones,
but their rareness adds to their de-
formity. No self-respecting farmer
can live in this fashion, be he white,
or black or brown. One such farmer
can do more harm in a community
than ten model farmers can rectify,
unless they adopt the plan of buying
out and expelling him from the neigh
borhood.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

KEROSENE FOR THE HAIR.
Seems to BE a Rough Treatment, Bu1
Its Results Have Proved En-
tirely Satisfactory.

A woman recently asserted that the
fine appearance of her hair was entirely
due to a persistent and thorough treat
ment with the familiar kerosene of the
corner grocery commerce. 1t was ap-
piled regularly once fortnight in the
following way: A little was poured into
a saucer and rubbed with the fingers
cation was slow and thorough, the gen.
tie massage Of the roots with the finger
tips being needed to open the pores for
the absorption OF the oil. The treat
| ment was usually made at night, and
the hair afterward tied up in silk hand
kerchief.
The silk handkerchief is recon-
| mended by hair dressers as useful in
retaining the natural electricity of the
| hair BY noon of the following day the
odor of the kerosene had disappeared,
and in another IL hours the oiliness that
| followed its use had also gone The
effect of this treatment on the hair was
promptly noticeable, the falling out
stopped. and some new short hairs were

HERE AND THERE.

With growing pigs especially the

clean, wholesome condition, and n.ver
allowed to sour.
Remember that the size of trees
does not always depend upon their
age, but upon the soil in which they
are planted and the care they receive.
Several Kentucky farmers have
lost quite a number of cattle, caused
by eating green tobacco that had been
sprinkled with paris green to kill
worms.

them remain in the pen they have been
raised in than to take them away and

A neighbor, whose experience in

of young poultry to the markets in DC
tober or November. This does not nee
essarily imply that the prices are adj
vanced or the demand better at this
time of year, but rather that there Is
general effort to dispose of stock on
hands before the coming of winter.
Very often it is good policy to hold
back shipping stock until the rush IS
over. Do not neglect to store the sur
plus vegetables for the hens. Green
food is great egg producer. Do the
poultry houses and fences need repairs?
Fall is the best time to attend to these
matters, since winter is likely to steal
upon us almost before we are aware OF
the fact, and, if we wait until cold
weather comes, the task OF repairing
is not very agreeable one.-Cor. Epit-

HANDLING MANURE.
4 Few HINTS On Conserving and
Handbag Properly the Ma
nure On the Farm.

Many feeders Of cattle, mules, ETC.,
feed in large sheds and allow the ma
nure to accumulate until it is from one
to two feet deep, cleaning the sheds
two or three times year. Where
such sheds are to be cleaned OF ma
nure it can be plowed to loosen it II
one hand puts his weight on the beam,
thereby gouging it out. Then, to pull
verize it, a heavy weighted harrow is
dragged over it, or corn is scattered
over the plowed manure and hogs al
lowed to root it up. They do a good
lob. too. Some resort to the slower
process of digging and pulverizing
with a hoe or mattock. Loose manure
can be handled with a manure fork
all right, but this process has to be
used in stalls in which the manure is
hard packed. For handling loose, light
manure | prefer four tined fork. the
short handled hay fork is just as good
as the D-handled manure fork. and
serves both purposes. For heavy or
very fine manure the 14-inch coal show
ell is excellent, and at least one should
be found in every outfit. Low, broad
tired wagons are best for hauling. For
short trips loose board platform with
movable side and end boards is excel
lent, and is easier unloaded than the
wagon box. The box, though, has the
advantage of always being ready. Hav-
ing previously pulverized the manure
fine at the barn, spread it evenly over
the ground. ! have seen men haul
great chunks of manure to the field
and throw them often several feet
apart What benefit they expect the
il arvening ground TO derive | cannot
-a. If the manure is to be spread on
gr1und on which you expect to SOW
clover or grass seed, sow these first,
md spread evenly well pulverized ma
nure over it. A fine stand will be the
result if the seed is good. Thin spots
in the pasture or meadow can be doc
tored profitably by this method. The
amount to spread will depend on the
soil. kind of manure, kind of crop. For
instance, use light coating OF fine
manure for top dressing the pasture
and meadow. Do not use coarse ma
nure or litter on this ground-it will
do for blowing under. On small grain
damage is often done by too heavy
manuring, causing too rank growth,
consequently falling of the grain. But
corn is not often injured in this way,
though there is no advantage in put
ting on an excess. The effects OF a
good coating in clay soil is often APP

the rudiments of agriculture, and it Is
expected that as soon as competent

will be taught in all the rural schools

branches in the public schools, special
attention is paid to identifying the

BETHsAIDA.
A Tale of the Time of the Caesars-By
Malcolm Dearborn, Author
of "IiOuel ArdOu.v

This story covers an interesting period,
that of the brutal Tiberius Caesar and the
rial and death of Christ. There are two
scenes in which the Saviour figures, as he
is being led TO execution, and the effect his
presence produces on the two chief per.
sonagess OF thu, story is graphically described
The hero, Aristarchus, Is Roman noble
of great wealth. His father, Petronius, has
0een doomed to death by order of Augustus
Caesar, whom he had unintentionally of
tended. On his last night on earth, while
Petronius was looking from the roof of his
palace, he witnessed strange light IN the
heavens. 1t rose, paused, vibrated, then
slowly disappeared in its course towards
Syria.
While he was still gazing at it, slave APP
proaches and announces to him the birth OF
son. The Roman marvels, and at once as
sociates the wondrous light in the heavens
with the birth of his son. The light, OF
course, was the star OF Bethlehem, pro
claiming the birth of Christ, whose influence
over Petronius' son makes up the main in
cdents of the story. That night Petronius
dies by his own hand to avoid the ignomln'
Gus death planned for him by Augustus.
Aristarchus, grown to manhood, becomes
disguised with the materiallsm and vapld
luxury of Rome, and is, moreover, involved
in a quarrel with Tiberius during one OF the
latter's drunken orgies. He flies Rome, and
turns Eastward in his course. There he
learns Of the strange fame of the "Naza.
rene,' whom he forwith desires TO see. His
wish is granted by sight of Jesus as he is
peing led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; its revolutonizes his
whole life.
The heroine, Bethsaida, who gives name
TO the story. is a maiden OF humble birth, but
of strange character and commanding beau
ty. Her father has trained her to be dane
ing girl at the court OF Plate. She, too, sees
Christ as he is being led to death, and the
effect wrought causes her to plan flight
from the influence of Plate and his court.
Chance brings about meeting between hel
and Aristarchus, and their mutual eXpe.
riences in the encounter with Christ form a
bond between the strangely assorted pair.
whose training and environment had been
so foreign TO one another
The alternate bursts of tyranny and kindli
ness that distinguish Plate, whose love fof
ais wife, Claudia, despite his infidelity &c
her, is his one saving trait, make an engag-
ing study. Claudia herself will, doubtless,
appeal to many readers as the most loveable
character in the book. Her justice, religious
sympathy and devotion are well depicted.
The tone of the book is that OF unquestion-
ing belief in the miraculous birth and mis-.
sion of Christ.
