Cutting Wood Lnfs

We scarcely need to suggest the cut
ting Of wood to the farmers this Win
ter. The high prices that have pre-
vailed have made many a farmer who
has wood lot decide that another
winter will not find him without a good
supply of cordwood ready for market
it the supply of coal is short The
question with many will be whether to
cut all clean as they go or leave the
younger trees and merely thin out the
older ones that have but little more
growth to make. We favor the latter
plan when one can cut the larger trees
without having them break the smaller
ones as they fall. When this cannot
well be done, it is better to cut clean
and then as new sprouts come up keep
them so thinned out as to give each a
chance to grow independently of the
others. In twenty years there will not
be as many trees, but there will prob
ably be more wood, and in forty years
twice as much wood, with more growth
to come in some varieties.-American
Cultivator.

The Best Citizen.

"Why are you forever patting the
farmer on the back and picturing him
as safnt?' asks city reader. We
are not patting anybody on the back,
and there are very few saints on earth.
A farmer can be just as mean as a
coal baron or railroad magnate if he
wants to, though happily his meanness
would not touch so many people, We
do say that farm life gives man and
his family the chance to develop in the
most natural and harmonious way.
The farmer who is true to his calling
and makes most of his advantag es is
the best citizen in the country We do
not say the richest or the most influen-
tfal in politics., but the best. Why,
there are some good folks who say that
when we demand the common rights
which belong to the farmer we are
preaching revolutionary doctrine! What
difference does it make what they call
It? The demand will go on!

ancient custom Of putting the wagon

day; also the ancient custom of leaving
the plows against the field fence and

we are mastering the fine art Of liv-
ing. Often we make mistakes, and.
what Is worse, keep on making the
same mistake over and over again IN
til by and by some one with sane
mind and clear perception, comes
along and puts us right: OF course
we resent the interference at first, but
in the end we accept the correction
and take step toward the faroff goal
OF perfection. :.
All this preachment is in connection
with the fact that the other day in
New York 4 very rich young man
abandoned idle luxury and began to
devote his whole mental and physical
energy to the task of lettering the
condition Of those who are living out
their lives in that city's most longest
cd quarter. 1t has been interesting to
note how variously this departure from
the conventions has been received.
Many of us have looked upon the
young mans venture as merely the
passing fad Of Il pleasure stated youth.
More of us have spoken of him in a
lofty, patronizing tone Of approval. 1t
is way we have.
ooh, yes, it's fine thing for the
young fellow to do. But why shouldn't
he do it? What else is left? Make
more money? lie has more money
than he can use. He has taken the
only path open to him, of course
But is this attitude quite just? Here
is a young man who has adopted for
his sole purpose in life the helping of
his fellow beings to a better under
standing of the fine and difficult art of
living. 10 be sure, we do not expect
him to make over the world all at
once. 1t is quite likely that if he sticks
to it for ten years he will have seen,
one by one. all his beautiful theories
fade as fades the glory of the sunset.
But in spite of that he will not have
wholly failed. 1t is something fine to
have made the effort.
DO we-you and | and Jones and
Brown, who look upon him so patron
iZingly-do we make even the fraction
of an effort toward solving the many
problems still unsolved in the book Of
life? Do We give one serious thought
to the manner in which our less fOrtu-
nate neighbors, those in our street and
around the corner, struggle along in
the half light Of the age? When we
chance upon a mistake which the world
has been making over and over for
centuries, do we cry out against the
wrong and take the consequences, or
do we selfishly trudge along in the
old rut and wait for some one else to
set us right? Then let us not sheer at
young Mr.. Stokes, nor patronize him.
but let us ask ourselves if we are de-
ing our whole duty in this never ceas-
ing care for Number One.
