ORCHID HAS sAsY's PICTURE.
Almost Perfect Likeness of Infant on
Center Leaf.

II has been noticed frequently that
plants, end especially orchids, bear
curious resemblances to animals. This
baby orchid" is in a New Rochelle
greenhouse. In India there is an or
child which resembles a butterfly,
with coloring enough like that of a
moccasin snake to be protected from
its natural enemies.
The baby orchid" obviously, gets
its name from the fact that on the
curves Of the center leaf. or petal, is
the almost perfect likeness of a baby,

GOOD NEWS

It has been long time since better news was received by those engaged iu international trade between the United States and Canada than that lo' day which tells us that President Roose- welt is in favor Of policy of reciproc- ity and better trade relations with Can ada. If subsequent developments shall indicate that the reciprocity which Is favored is the genuine article and it tt shall be demonstrated that the preSl- dent and those ot his administration mean they are willing to meet Canada hall way in the effort to secure better trlde relations and grant concession for concession granted, then there will be fruit from the good intentions that have been expressed, and the people will have cause for rejoicing, indeed,
 There is much in the news from Washington toeucourage the hope that great things will happen during the Roosevelt administration in the way ot securing the adoption of tariff laws and regulations which will permit Ameri can commerce Co expand along lines that are natural.

Flowing stubble Land Early.

Unless stubble land is fenced in
or unless some provision can be
made for pasturing off the second
growth Of grain and weeds which
often grow rapidly after the grain
has been removed, it is without
doubt advantageous to plow the
land as early in the fall as possible.
There are number Of conditions in
this respect that come up for con-
sideration, and a number of factors
that often obscure the benefit of
early plowing; were it not so the
advantages from such plowing
would be more apparent and the
practice more generally followed.
For example, one Of the great ad-
yantages from early plowing comes
from greater conservation Of soil
moisture. A plowed field, as every
one knows, will absorb water more
readily than will one that is hard;
from the latter great deal of water
flows off during heavy fall rains.
while the former absorbs by far the
greater proportion of the rain that
falls, and is able to do it with rapid
ity. In order to retain this quantity
Of water after it is absorbed, il iis
necessary to keep the surface Of tho
soil narrowed and pulverized 90 as
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1904-09-21

to enable the top few inches to dry
out and act as dust blanket OF
mulch to prevent too great loss
from evaporation. Now, in a wet
season, this advantage is not SO ap-
parent because the water supply
may be 30 plentiful that no economy
needs to be practiced. On the other
hand, there is another advantage
from early plowing that holds good
in dry as we'll as in moist seasons,
but the direct results from this are
not 80 apparent on rich as on poor
soils. One of the reasons why we
plow is to loosen the soil 30 us to
obtain q free circulation of air
throughout its body. The more
freely air circulates in a soil the
more rapidly soil bacteria multiply
and the more active they become.
The result of their activity, in we'll
aired soil, is the liberation of nitro
gen from the organic substances,
the formation of nitrates and other
soluble plant food which will then
be ready for a crop the following
year.-Farmer's Tribune.

Bread.
tco.rssponaeoe. Of tho London T.n.s. }


was informed q few weeks ago
by q gentleman who owns large
flour mills that the craze for white
bread is being carried to such e1.
tremes that many millers are put.
ting up expensive machinery 70,
the purpose of actually bleaching
the -four.
This is being done by ozone and
nitrous acid, the object being ia
make an artificially white bread and
to enable grain to be used which
would otherwise give q darker colo,
to the -four.
The development Of the grinding
process during the last few year.
has been such that the old-fashion.
ed stones have been replaced by
steel rollers actuated under grea,
pressure.
The germ and other most nutri.
tive constituents of the wheat art
thus to great extent abstracted
ana the valuable character OF the
bread greatly reduced.
It is the opinion of many who
can speak with authority on thu
subject that bread, instead Of beine
as formerly the "staff of life," has
become to great degree an indi
gestible non-nutritive food, and that
it is responsible among other causes
for the want Of bone and for thu
dental troubles in the children o.
the present generation.
1t is doubtless true that the var.
iety of food now obtainable in /.
measure compensates. in the case.
of those who can afford it, for thi,
abstraction of phospates; but
think I am justified in stating tina
every medical man. if asked, will
give it as his opinion that yer,
white bread should be avoided
and that seconds" -four, now al
most unprocurable, should ssonly b,
used either for bread or pastry.

Bound to the Trust. Chariot Wheel.

Clinton Age.-The Republicans
of Minnesota have sold out bag and
baggage to the merger and steel
trust interests, and Bob Dunn, the
Hill and Rockefeller candidate, was
nominated for governor. The Gov
ernor Van SAINT faction, who institu.
ted the merger suit in the state
courts, which forced President
Roosevelt to follow suit in the fed
eral courts, is defeated, and the oc-
topus will rule the roost. As q stop
to the Van SAINT faction the platform
commends the governors action in
''espousing the cause of the people
against the railroad merger and
trusts" How the trust magnates
must grin when they read about the
man they defeated espousing the
cause Of the people! It would be
very interesting to know how much
the victory will cost the trusts and
still more interesting to see what
the voters will think Of the combi-
nation.

Before the restoration the better
class of Japanese esteemed it q de-
graduation to work. A tradesman
was despised. Today there is hard.
ly man of Japan who does not fol.
low some calling. The older men,
the grandfathers, may stay at home,
but the sons, the restless. modern,
progressive sons of the new Japan
are not happy unless employed.
The spirit of modern Japan is in
them. They are as devoted to their
business as their homes. But they
keep them well separate and apart.
The Japanese who can afford it has
his office in the big city, but his
home in the suburbs. During the
day he is in the midst of the busy
stir aud whirl of the city, but about
four in the afternoon he is hurrying
toward the grateful peace and
beauty Of his country home. The
first thing he does on reaching
home is to bathe and remove all the
clothes he has worn at, his office or
store. With the changing of his
business clothes he lays aside all
thought of business. In his home
he finds desired rest and recreation.
He is by nature lover of leisure.
Few business men in America
would leave their Offices so early or
would take so many holidays. The
Japanese business man takes all the
holidays he can afford. He is at
home most of the fete days. He
goes with his family to see the car.
nivals, the temple and flower festi-

How to Stay Young.

How old are you?
The adage says that women are as
old as they look and men as old as
they feel.
That's wrong.
A man and woman are as old as
they take themselves to be.
Growing old is largely a habit Of
the mind. "As q man thinketh in
his heart SO is he." If he begins
shortly after middle age to imagine
himself growing old he will be old.
To keep oneself from discrepitude
is somewhat q matter of will power.
The fates are kind to the man who
hangs on to life with both hands,
He who let's 60, will ;go. Death is
slow only to tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched in the
wrong place for the fountain of
youth. It is in oneself! One must
keep oneself young inside. So that
while "the outer man perisheth the
inner man is renewed day by day."
When the human mind ceases to
exert itself, when there is no longer
an active interest in the affairs of
this life, when the human stops
reading and thinkingand doing, the
man, like blasted tree, begins to
die at the top.
1t is the spiritual part that keeps
men alive. Let one give himself
over to the lowest forces of his ma
ture and he will soon die Of ami
malism.
Many a man is dead on his feet
and is only walking about to save
funeral expenses. He has educated
his children, accumulated a COM
petence, accomplished his ideal and
he retires from his labors in order
to linger and die. Death readily &C.
cepts the invitation.
Slowly the world is learning the
secret of longevity. And the aver
age of the years Of human life is
being raised no less by mind habit
than by improved conditions.
You are as old as you think YOU
are.
Keep the harness on.
Your job is not done.
