What a Farmer Needs Most.

But among farmers, as with all other
classes, there is a class of unfortunates
those who fall behind in the race. A
word of encouragement-a helping
hand If possible-is a very pressing
need. Unfortunately this Is most diff
ficult; for however loath we are to ac-
knowledge 1t we are nevertheless re-
luctantly forced to conclude that this
man must be his own physician. If
you prove that we are not the archi-
tects of our own fortunes, but creatures
Of circumstance, you leave him with
out shadow of hope. But prove the
reverse, and you have already done a
miracle in his behalf; and all he lacks
Is few suggestions to strengthen his
will. These, then, are some of his
moro pressing needs
First-He needs strong determna-
tion to DO the best, let come what will.
Second-He needs to hustle, to stick.
He who moves the faster and keeps his
pace cannot be beaten in the race.
Third-He needs to be industrious,
economical. thoughtful and courageous.
Fourth--He needs to be absolutely
honest; not alone ON moral grounds.

Dress and the Theater.

Somebody says the reason people
don't go to the theater any more is
because they don't like to dress up.
Now, what do you think OF that? In
the first place, nobody has to dress for
the theater in New York if he doesn't
feel like 1t, and in the second place
he usually feels like dressing up, es.
pecially If he Is to take lady with
him-and who isn't? From our baby
hood every one of us has had weak
ness for our Sunday clothes, and
there's not one of us who doesn't feel
happier in them than in anything else.
Now, honestly, isn't this true? And
wouldn't you think that a person who
can afford to give up two dollars for
an orchestra chair, could afford an
evening suit or smart frock or two?
This is no reason. Nor is 1t because
the theaters are too fine, as some in
genious idiot has suggested, and that
the generaltru of fiat dwellers and
working folks feel out of place in such
rich surroundings. Nothing Is too
good for your true American. Ye are
all multi-millionaires at heart, and
the expression, "a champagne appetite
with ginger ale bank account" was
never suggested by manifestation Of
American modesty. We want all we
can get for the money, and none of
us is averse to sitting on pea green
plush.-Eleanor Franklin, in Leslie's
Weekly.

Build up Your Own Dairy.

The farmer who keeps cows to pro-
duce milk or butter needs dairy cow
If beef is the object in view he wants
an entirely different COW. 1t is impos-
sible for him to produce both success
fully and with profit from the same
animal.
Often have this question asked me
by our patrons: Where can | get cows
giving large quantity of rich MILK"
There are two ways of getting such
animals-one by purchasing, the 9th
er by growing them yourself. A man
who starts out to buy high class dairy
cattle will soon learn that the man who
understands his business Is not selling
his best cows until their days of use
fulness are past.
When a man offers to sell COW
that promises to be good mixer for
any reasonable price the buyer is apt
to discover after he purchases her that
she deceives her looks and that she has
some secret fault which will show it.
self later on.
Dairymen who are excellent judges
of cows will sometimes get hold OF
first class animals, but, as rule, they
will buy them from men who are not
acquainted with their business and
with whom the possession of cow of
this kind Is an accident. Even then
only few of these cows will come up
to his requirements or give anything
like the satisfaction of those that he
might raise himself, and think that
when he counts the time and money
that he spends in experimenting in
this way he will come to the conclu-
sion that the best way for the dairy
farmer to improve the quality of the
herd is by raising his own stock. 1t
does not take SO many years to grow
up herd in this way as one might
suppose.
In raising up a herd himself there
are several advantages to be derived,
the principal one of which Is that he Is
able to control the breeding. Milking
qualities are hereditary, and the heifer
whose sire's dam and grandam are also
good mixers will be a good milker
also.
In raising calves for the dairy al
ways feed for milk instead of beef, and
the heifcr intended for the dairy
should rot have the same treatment in
feeding as the heifer intended for calf
production only. The dairy COW is
better as lean animal than as fat
one, and she should be kept during her
youth in such way that she will not
lay the product of her food on 1er ribs
but put it in the plil.--Dairy and
Creamery.

CITY Trees.

In many cities throughout this coun-
try, and more notably in the famous
municipalities of Europe, the value of
systematic tree-planting along the
public streets is highly appreciated.
There is nothing that adds more to
the beauty OF city than a succession
of treelined avenues. Not only is
the artistic senses satisfied, but from
hygienic standpoint the cultiva-
tion of city forestry along the borders
of the public highways is worthy of
every encouragement. Western cities
have not practiced to so great an ex-
tent systematic tree-planting as have
many of the larger towns in the east,
q fact probably due to the engrossing
activities incident to rapid develop
ment along what are considered more
material lines.-Portland (Ore.) Tele-
gram.

NO MORE NEW CHURCHES,
Era Of Division Of Sects Is Drawinu
to a Close.


The era of division or separation
seems to be drawing to an end, de-
clares Rev. T. T. Munger. It is
doubtful IL we soon see another de-
nomination Of any Importance that
can be called Christian. There is
great activity in the theological world,
but 1t does not move in the direction
of creedal organization. There is no
less theology-for theology will never
SO out Of fashion-but 1t looks to-
ward explanation IL not extinction of
creeds already existing, and to other
changes that drop out or reinterpret
old meanings and bring in new. Care
full distinctions and definitions that
determine the exact amount of free
dom or necessity in the will are dis
regarded, because Christian faith Is
not now approached ON that side of
our nature.
Emphasis is transferred from the
field of speculation where chiefly the
denominations originated, to the field
of action, to psychology and human
society. The pressure of the past is
less felt. or Is felt as reverence rath.
er than as authority. The fact of
change-whateve its cause-can no
longer be resisted, and the chief ques-
the church is: At what speed and by
ton that burdens thoughtful minds in
what road will 1t move into the re-
gion where it must go; also, what
shall be left behind and what carried
forward? The main question of all
Is: how to retain steadiness of mind
in the confusion and rush that fill
the air. Serious minds tremble be-
fore the changes that come thunder
Ing down upon them.
