How About the Water Supply
For this Winter?

Although the weather

avoid it. You will find
in the long run nothing
so cheap and satisfact-

To be sure it requires
wind and the wind does
not always blow, but a
good sized tank to hold
a two or three days

the saving in fuel during

other power would re-

than the cost of the

Beware of the Belittlers.

Beware of people who are constantly
beittling others. finding flaws and de.
fects in their characters or slyly in.
slnuating that they are not quite what
they ought to be. Such persons are
dangerous and not to be trusted. says
Success.
A large. healthy, normal mind will
see the good in another much more
quickly than the evil, but a narrow
belittling mind has an eye only for
fauts-for the unlovely and the crook
ed. The clean. the beautiful the true
and the magnanimous are too large
for its vision. 1t delights in tearing
down or destroying, but it is incapable
of upbuilding.
Whenever you hear a person trying
to belittle another. discard him from
your list of friends. unless you can
help him to remedy his fault. Do not
fiatter yourself that those who tell
you of the failings of other people and
crlticise and hold them up to ridicule
will not treat you in the same way
when an opportunity presents itself
Such people are incapable of true
friendship. for true friendship helps
instead of hinders: it never exposes
the weak point in friends character
or suffers anyone to speak i'll of him.
One of the finest fruits of culture
is the power to see the man or woman
whom God made in His own image
and not the one who is SCARED by
faults and deficiencies. 1t is only the
generous. loving soul who ever at.
tans TO this degree of culture. 1t is
only the broad, charitable, magnani.
nous, great-hearted man or woman
who is blind TO the defects Of others
and enlarges their good qualities.
An opportunity of associating with
people who see the best instead of the
worst in us is worth far, far more
to us than an opportunity to make
money. 1t increases hundredfOld
our power to develop noble characters
We are all of us constantly but un.
thoughts about them. The qualities
you see in your friend and those with
whom you come in contact you tend
to enlarge. If you see only the little
mean, contemplate side of people. you
cannot help them out of their faults
for you only intensity and fix them;
but if you see the good, the noble. the
aspiring traits in them you will help
to develop these qualities until they
crowd out the base. unworthy ones.
Everywhere. the world over. this un,
conscious interchange of influence is
at work. hindering or helping. accord.

we are hearing great deal now
adays about the simple life. and we
need to hear good deal more. But
we women all know, don't we? that
1t Is one thing to establish an ideal
and another to live up to it in detail.
Here. as ever, lies our strength and
our weakness. 1t is we. after all, not
the good Pastor Wagner nor any
other man, who have to work out our
own salvation from the lettering trifies
that hold us back from our highest
Usefulness and happiness. We have to
call upon the strength of our minds to
order these little things so that neither
they shall suffer nor the great things,
but so that they, being in order and
fit subordination. shall add their
beauty to life. To do it we need TO
take the broad view. However busy
our hands may be with little things.
our minds must see them in the large.
in the full sum of their little relation
ships. We need to let the life of eter-
nal space in upon the confusing clut-
ter that dlstracts us. In that illumin.
alton we shall, by slow degrees. find a
place for every genuine duty, put it in
Its place and with firm hand keep
n there. We shall see at once that we
need a large supply of patience-that
we cannot expect to learn how to live
until just before we die, If then; but
that by being steady and still we can
move on and up little at time. The
comfort will be that we shall move
others up with us-Those We Love
Best, Those We Love Next Best and
Those Of Whom We Are a Part. We
shall see the Righteousness of play and
rest and take our share-nay, plan and
look out for our share--with a thank
fui heart. And our happy husbands

only as an aid to deception and fraud

a person who is unable, as the say

more of misfortune than an evidence
of untrustworthiness. People who are
called magnetic almost always. it may

Increasing Demands For Livestock.

The large and rapidly increasing city
population of this country demands
large supply of meat each year, and
farmers are coming to realize the i'm
portance of livestock as never before.
Small farmers are breeding and feed
ing more animals, and every rywhere we
see manifest interest taken in this i'm
portant branch Of agriculture. In our
agricultural schools young men are
eager TO study livestock with untirlng
interest The State Livestock Associa.
ton meetings and short courses in
stock judging at the various agricul.
tural schools are well patronized, and
farmers are giving to this subject. Sew.
eral factors figure prominently in the
advancement and improvement shown
along this line. Through our county
and State fairs. and larger expositions.
farmers are coming to recognize the
difference between superior and infer
ior animals. The agricultural press
has come to be a mighty potent agent
in the work of education. Farmers
and stockmen, particularly. read and
study. The agricultural colleges and
experiment stations are putting much
important information in livestock
work. American farmers are coming
TO recognize the value of improved
blood in herd fock and stud. Breeders
are breeding better, feeders are feed
ing better, and marked improvement
Is seen on every hand. Among the va.
rlous forces which are at work for the
progress and advancement of agricuL
ture, there Is no one agent doing SO
much for livestock interests as the big
livestock shows of the country. The
State fairs have done much for all
branches of agriculture. and particu.
larly livestock. They afford splendid
opportunity for the farmer who is q
student of his business, in that they
give him new ideals and inspiration
to reach the higher degree of develop
ment along some definite line. The
modern State fair has grown to be o
big thing, and one to be encouraged
at every opportunity. 1t brings TO

Yellow Piano Keys.

Many people who keep their pianos

Gus to piano it is common belief
that a piano should be closed when
not in use. This is q mistake. The
majority Of pianos made to-day are
constructed so that dust cannot easily

larger part of the time. There is
nothing like strong sunshine for
bleaching yellowed piano keys. Rub
the keys with powdered pumice stone

the piano up before a sunny window

Mutton vs., Wool.

IT Is claimed that mutton at five
cents Il pound will pay better than
wool at thirty.hve cents. Such claim
depends upon conditions. A good meri-
no will pay more in wool than can be
derived from common sheep. while a
breed of mutton sheep will give a
greater profit than can be derived from
sheep that are not bred with an object
to be attained. Farmers who keep
sheep also make a profit in the ma
nure and in the utilization of the waste
materials consumed, but sheep require
