MEN NORTH AND SOUTH.

We are asked why it is that men
have more push and vim In the north
than they do in the southern states.
There are several good reasons. One is
that q man in order to live does not
have to work as hard in the south as
in the north. He has a much longer
season in which to do his work also.
The northern man, whether he feels
like II or not, no matter how born tired
he may be, has just got to hustle dur
ing the short summer to keep from
starving and freezing during the long
cold winter. 1t Is clear case Of work
or starve with him. Then the climate
Of the south is to a certain extent en-
ervating, predispOsing men to take
things easy, which for us has a rare
charm cOntrasted with the dreadful
rush, push and fret connected with the
northern way of doing all kinds Of
business We know of not few men
who, could they have their way, would
have the hearse go at full trOt to the
cemetery when it carried them there.
We like enterprise and progress and
all that, but we often think more mod
crate ways of doing business would
conduce much to the happiness of
northern men.

ONE THING THE YOUNG MAN CAN DO.


Now, here is a word to the young
man Of twenty who, having fair COM
mon school education and not afraid
Of work, would like to make the most
of himself and get out of the ranks of
the army of common plugs and shape
his life on a broader and higher plane.
While there are other ways and other
openings, we will only mention one
way in which he may do that which
he desires. The feeding Of 10O,000,OO0
people is to be the great problem in
this country before long. The young
man who makes study of how to pro-
duce the food needed in the most eco
nomical manner, how to take the earth
and the COW and the hen and the steer,
the forest and the garden and the or
chard and get the best out of them, is
bound to be a man who will be in great
demand, for he will know something
which will be of great value to the
whole country. AS we look at 1t, there
is no more inviting field for the young
man Of today than this, and nice
thing about it is that the study of
these problems will not only make him
of practical use to the world, but he
will grow to be broad gagged man
as well, for no man can study nature
and her laws and be small and narrow.
Think this over, boys.

UNDERGROUND PESTS.

Not all the pests with which the
farmer has to contend fly in the air or
crawl on the surface of the earth.
Here is little insignificant rodent, the
mole, and for all he goes it blind, can
neither run nor fly and is never more
than four inches from the surface Of
the earth he will often defy mans
utmost ingenuity to trap him as he
burrows away and spoils your nice
lawn; then there is the pocket gopher,
q near relative of the mole, and this
little brute will get into your clover
patch and ruin rods of it, or he will
commence work in the young orchard
and eat all the roots off from the young
trees, and he, too, is a hard one to
trap; then there are the rats and mice
ever at work in cellar, granary and
crib, and the losses sustained by these
pests is no small item. For remedies,
watch for the mole at work; if you can
catch him at it he is easily killed; for
the pocket gopher piece of apple
treated with strychnine placed in a
fresh burrow will often get him, rag
soaked in carbon bisulphide poked into
a fresh burrow will sometimes reach
him, or if he can be caught throwing
out the earth from his burrow, even
though he cannot be seen, charge of
shot fired down the hole will usually
finish him. For rats and mice there is
nothing better than a good cat fed
ration of new milk. To get rid Of the
cats-but this article is about under
ground nests

FOREST WASTES.

The reckless and wanton waste con-
nected with the removal of our forest
timber looks as though no one realized
that 100 years from now men will
want trees more than they do now. The
newspapers of the country which are
made wholly out of these ravaged for
ests should at least plead for more
intelligent and economical method of
forestry. 1t should not be forgotten
that the nations which have cut trees
and not planted them-Spain, Greece,
Portugal, Italy and others-are today
paying the bitter penalty, while Eng
land, France and Germany, which care
for their forests with solicitude and in
telligence, are the progressive peoples
of the old world. There Is far more to
tree than its market value in board
measure or as fuel-important ques-
tons OF soil fertility, conservation of
rainfall and temperature which affect
the life Of all the people.

We were down in the land Of the live
oak, Spanish moss and the mistletoe
lately and were much interested in not
ing the singular relation existing be-

mistletoe forms a most perfect union
with the tree, more perfect one than
is usually secured by the process of

A noticeable feature Of the great cot
ton fields of the south is their freedom
from weeds, they being in this partic-

fields of the north. Either more work
is bestowed upon the cotton crop than
on the corn or else the shade of the
cotton plant absolutely stops the
growth of all other vegetation.

A field OF winter wheat in north cen
trail Texas in April was spotted all
over with dark green clumps of wheat
twice as tall and vigorous as the rest
OF the crop. AS the wheat there is
pastured all winter the inference was
that these spots were caused by the
droppings of the cattle, but we were
surprised to learn that instead wher-
ever they appeared there had been the
hole of a prairie dog before the land
was broken up. This fact suggested
two things-one that there is much
fertility in subsoils when brought to
the surface; the other, that subsoil
drainage has not little to do with
good crops.
