WORDS OF TRUTH AND
WISDOM.

In his address In front Of the capt
tol In Madison, on Friday last,
President Roosevelt gave utterance to
the following commendable thoughts:
"Each man must work for himself;
II he does not pull his own weight, he
won't pull anyo ese's; IL he cannot
support himself he will be but II drag
on all mankind. Each man must work
for himself and for those close to him,
and each man must also work for the
common good. A man who Is n man
will scorn to feel that he owes his
success primarily TO anything but
his own stout heart and strong hands
and cool head Each must show
those qualities, and yet each must
wish and be able to help his noighbor
when he slips. There IL not u man OF
US here that does not now and then
slip, that does not now and then need
helping hand stretched out to him.
Shame to any one of us who fails ON
such an occasion To stretch out the
helping hand To the brother that
stumbles. Lift him up; but remember
this, you can lift him up, set him on
his feet so that he can walk, but II he
will not walk You cannot carry him.
The man that wants to be carried, the
man that takes that attitude Is not
worth trying to carry You will not
help him, and you will not help your
selves either.
Fundamentally the solution OF our
national life, tho solution of that
infinitely composite problem which
consists OF 80 many lesser ones, Is to
be found In the proper combination OF
the quality of self-help with the quail
ity of abundantly and cheerfully each
of rs striving wisely, sanely and
temperately To help his fellows, as IL
Is HlYen him to NXtend TINT holm. -

IRRIGATION BITCHES.

When building new bitches the idea
of permanence is frequently sacrificed
for temporary needs and if water will
run the first season little thought is
given to the future. A good rule is to
get as much grade as possible con-
sistent with preservation OF the
bitches. In no case must the velocity
be sufficient to cut the banks. Te-
nacious soils will withstand much
more pressure than others. This must
be carefully considered when the
amount of water needed for special
tract of land is being calculated. Diff
ferent forms of bitches and varying
grades adapted to the various soils
are possible For example, 212 second
feet of water are delivered by lat
eral three feet wide at the top, two
feet at the bottom and one foot deep,
with a grade of four feet to the mile.
The same amount is carried by ditch
Az feet wide at the top three feet at
the bottom, y feet deep and with
grade of six inches to the mile In
soil which washes easily the latter is
preferable.

training of Unreasonable value to
students, but the scientific discoveries
and the general information dissent
mated directly operate to the vast
benefit of active farmers. An illustra-
ton in point: The dispatches state
that the agricultural college connected
with the University of Wisconsin has
been dealing with oat smut. 1t has
been discovered that smut in oats is
produced by a fungus that exists in
the seed, grows up with the plant and
attacks the grain. 1t is estimated
that the loss in the oat crop of Wis
consin from this cause alone amounts
to $5,000,000 year. 1t has been dis
covered that by treating the seed with
a chemical the spore of the smut can
be killed, and the cost is only one
cent a bushel of seed treated. No
special knowledge is required to han
die it.
There can be no doubt that the ag-
ricultural colleges are paying their
way twice over. For a long time 1T
was difficult to get pupils to attend
them and take the course. When a
young man went to college he thought
he must come out professional man,
but by and by it dawned on the minds
of the discerning that farming was far
more profitable and great deal more
independent than to be a. half-starved
lawyer and struggle with the criminal
class in order to make living. When
this idea became prevalent the agri-
cultural colleges were filed with stu
dents and the profession of farming
has now become one of the factors
of civilization in that it demands all
the resources of education chemistry,
botany, physiology, the laws of hered-
ity in the rearing of breeds, the pro-
duction of grain, the cross fertiliza-
ton of corn in order to produce fertile
stalks and to increase the amount of
starch.
In short, there is hardly field of
scientific research that the farmer
does not now lay under contribution,
and when his crop is harvested he is
obliged to study the markets to put
himself in communication with the
worlds factors, the lines of commerce
and the laws of supply and demand,
and the great storage depots where
his product is bought and sold and
fought for and gambled over. The
farmer of today is not mere clod,
but a man of resource and ability.
