NOT TOO PROUD TO WORK.

Heir to several millions and
the recipient already of life IN
come OF many thousands Frank
lin Farrel, Jr., 21 years old, Yale
graduate, owner of fast horses
and $4,000 touring car, works
ten hours a day in his fathers
foundry. He can be seen daily
bending over a grindstone at the
grlmiest and lowest labor in the
whole plant.
Determined to learn and mas
ter the complicated business of
his fathers large foundery here,
young Farrell lest Monday began
his apprenticeship.
Franklin Farrell, Sr., one of the
wealthlast men in Connecticut.
his estate being variously esti-
mated at from $10,000,OO0 to
100000, was unaware of his
sons purpose until the latter had
actually gone to work. Young
farrel Ii Obliged TO enter the
mills with the other workmen at
7 o'clock every week day morn
Ing and he passes out with the
oil-begrimed crowds at 6 o'clock
In the evening, hurrying home in
his overalls and Jumper to Tower
Hall, the handsome Farrell resi-
dence.
He is beginning to abandon
society, as the hare work In the
mill drives him early to bed.
Only the fact that he had under
gone severe training as a candi-
date for the Yale crew enables
the youth to stand the exacting
work. On express orders from
the office no favors are shown
him.
Franklin Farrell, Jr., was gradu-
ated from Yale last June. stand
ing high in his class. He was a
ID. X. E. man, but failed to make a
senior society, circumstance
that occasioned much comment.
In the class statistics he was
rated the best dressed man of
1908. He was member of the
famous Jolly Eight" who were
innocently instrumental in bring
Ing about Carrie Nations visit to
Yale. Some wags sent an invita-
ton to the famous bar-breaker
to come to New Haven at a stated
time, signing the names of the
Jolly Eight"
Mrs. Nation arrived at the ap.
pointed time and found the
"Jolly Eight" just finishing a re-
union supper in anderbilt Hall.
She snatched away the cigarettes
they were smoking and delivered
her usual lecture, after which
she was taken away by another
party Of Students.
Young Farrell has just return
ed from a summers automobile
trip with his sister, Miss Elsie
Farrell. While he is serving his
apprenticeship he viii receive
81 a week, but in the course Of
SIX months or year, as he may
show his proficiency, he may be
paid At the rate of 125 cents an
hour. He carries his dinner in
a pail and eats with the other
wOrkingmen.
His cousin, Alton Farrell, has
been appointed to a position in
the office of the foundry, where
he will learn the commercial end

Protect Your Friends.

If we would stay the ravages Of in
sects, we must employ natures greatest
Observation-Disclosures. To do this will re-
quire not only stringent laws, but a
public opinion that will compel their
enforcement. The farmers themselves
often destroy their best friends and
then complain of bugs and worms that
destroy their crops or reduce them be-
low the point of possible profit. Farm
ers can cease this injurious fOolishness,
and they can compel the exemption of
their farms and lands from the depre-
dations of the bird killer. But they will
do neither one nor the other until they
realize the importance TO themselves of
doing so. To solve this problem is to
effectively educate the people on the
subject. Then proper laws may be
made and enforced. BY so doing we
can attack not only the boil weevil, but
all other insect pests in their most vul-
nerable point.-Farm and Ranch.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
A New idea For Potato Growers.

A New Idea For Potato Growers.
One of the enterprising farmers in
kennebec county, Me-, is George G.
Jacobs, and among his specialties in
the agricultural line is raising potatoes.
He has been very successful in produc-
ing the earliest to be found in the mar
ket. The past season he succeeded in
raising two good crops on the same
piece. The ground was thoroughly
plowed the previous fall. In the spring
1t was narrowed until the earth was
fine and light. and when ready for
planting phosphate was dropped in the
hills to the amount of one ton to the
acre
The potatoes for seed were brought
up from the cellar the last of February
or first of March and placed in light
cool room, so that when they were
planted they had large green sprouts
and we'll developed leaves. AS soon as
the soil was warm enough these were
placed in the ground. His care did not
diminish any now that the potatoes
were planted, and very soon the leaves
began to push up toward the light and
air. They were kept free from weeds
and bugs until the middle of July; then
Mr.. Jacobs began marketing them,
largely at a dollar per bushel.
Meanwhile n second lot of potatoes
had been sprouted the same as the 9TH
ers and planted the first of July be-
tween the rows, so that when the first
crop was dug they hoed the second lot,
which was already above the ground.
In September the second crop was har-
vested. From the first planting Mr..
Jacobs raised at the rate of 800 bushels
per acre, from. the second 100 bushels.
The variety used was the New Queen,
and the only fertilizer was phosphate.

The Gypsy Moth.

People in Massachusetts are becom-
ing little anxious over the rapid in
crease o. The gypsy moth since the
campaign TO exterminate was stopped
three years ago. The pest is likely to
give a great deal of trouble soon. Why
not government and state combine
forces, as in the case of the present
cattle epidemic? Let congress be urged
to make a liberal appropriation condi-
toned on help by the state. The state
cannot finish the work alone, and the
government doubtless will not, but both
in cooperation could handle the job
without putting much of load on tax
payers.-American Cultiyator.

The Price of Breeders.


Some people who would like to invest
in improved live stock have been scared
little by the high prices paid for fam
cy individuals. They seem to think that
there is no use in trying to get i'm
proved stock at reasonable figures. This
is all wrong. Good breeding stock can
be bought today at prices that bear
proper relation to the value of market
animals. 1t is not necessary now and
it never was for the breeder of grades
to pay extravagant prices for pure
bred sires, no matter what kind of live
stock he is producing The sale of fan
cy animals, with pedigreeS in the
height of some craze. affords no critic
rion of the market for pure bred stock.
Further, it is not merely unnecessary
for the breeder of grades to pay ex-
tremely high prices, but it is usually
unwise to do so. 1t is also unwise and
dangerous to pay extremely low prices.
The seller of an article knows its value,
and when he offers a pure bred animal
at or near slaughter price it is often
worth less than that. Be judicious but
not parsimonious in buying sires.-

Is Rivaled by Human Hair Where Dandruff
Is Eradicated.

Sealskin is admired the world over
for its softness and glossiness; and
yet the human hair is equally as soft
and glossy when healthy; and the
radical cause of all hair trouble is
dandruff, which is caused by a pest
ferrous parasite that saps the vitality
of the hair at its roots. Newbro's
herpicide is the only preparation that
is fatal to the dandruff germ. Without
dandrutf no falling hair, but luXu-
RANT growth of glossy, soft hair is
certain. Securing the scalp won't
cure dandruff. Kill the germ. Thou
sands of women owe their beautiful
suits of hair to Newbros Herpicide.

We came across the historic man the
other day who had actually moved his
barn to get rid of the piles of manure.
His crops were poor enough and need

had to put in so much time saving the

that be had to move his barn to get rid
of the manure.-Farmers' Guide.
