Two candidates for office in Mis-

of the State and in one town their
appearance vas almost simultaneous.
The candidate last arriving happened
to stop at a house for the purpose of
getting a drink of water. To the little
girl who answered his knock at the
door he said-when she had given him
the desired draught and he had offered
her in recompense some candy: did
the man ahead of me give you any
thing?"
"Oh! yes, sir" replied the bright
girl; h gave me candy"

LOCUST FOR POSTS.
Quite Popular in Some Sections, But
Not as Reliable as the Honey
Locust.

The black locust makes excellent post
timber in localities adapted to it's
growth; thai is. where it is not killed
by the borer before it gets large enough
for such use. The locust docs o
grow as rapidly as the softer woods,
such as the catalpa, but it makes a
very hard and durable post. We believe
for most localities the yellow or honey
locust will give better satisfaction than
the black locust. So far as we are
aware, this variety is not attacked by
che borer. We have known trees of this
variety to stand unframed by the side
of a black locust grove, every tree in
which was killed. The black locust has
the faculty of throwing up sprouts
from the roots whenever the top is cut
off or killed by borers, so that a grove
of this variety is self-renewing and If
planted a little thin in the start may
be thickened up by cutting them off and
inducing them to throw up sprouts
from the roots. The great trouble is
that the borer is liable to strike them
just before they are large enough to be
valuable as posts. The honey locust,
while free from possible destruction
by the borer. makes just as good post
timber, and we believe grows about as
fast as the black variety. The rate of
growth, as with any other tree. de-
ponds much upon the conditions Of the
SOL and rainfall. Under favorable on
ditfons the larger trees in a grove of
this timber should be five to eightinches
through in 20 years, and should carry
fairly uniform size of trunk to =
height of 25 feet.-Prairie Farmer.

FOOLISH GREED FOR LAND.
Usually It Has Its Source in an AL
together Silly Desire to Make
a Display.

We are all familiar with the greed
of the city man who ever gets rich
enough to retire, but who keeps on pill
ing up wealth year after year merely
for the sake of accommodating. He is
the favorite theme of the country
preacher when he wishes to point out
the folly of this world; yet we seldom
hear anything about his rural counter
part, the man who is land greedy and
who keeps himself and family in mar
row. restricted ways of living in order
that he may add to his domain. This
criticism does not apply to the men
who are able to extend their operations
without cramping themselves seriously
and who a make their purchases
yield returns which justify the invest
ment; but rather to the men we occa-
sionally see who have a passion for ac-
curing land, but who do not stop to
consider whether they will be able to
handle it p~roitably. A successful young
dairyman who had 25 COWS was asked
why he did not increase his herd, in
asmuch as his farm would support
more. Because 25 is all that l can
care for with the amount of help 1 find
it profitable to keep" he replied. 81
can better afford to utilize the surplus
products of the farm in some other way
than to 90 increase my herd that an
other mixer will be required"
The farmer who feels the itching for
more lana" should consider something
besides the price and ask himself
whether the land if acquired could be
farmed economically in conjunction
with that which he already has. II
not, he would do well to "go slow"
about mourning a burden of debt or in
vesting cash which he has earned by
the hardest kind of toll. The best
farmers are agreed that their profits
depend upon close. careful management
and up-to-date methods which insure
a maximum of production with a min
imum of labor, and it is the small, well
titled farms that often show the biggest
returns per acre. The desire to exhibit
prosperity is no doubt the temptation
to which many men Succumb when
they buy more land than they need, yet
they are often so plain in dress and
manners that they would consider it
rank injustice should anyone accuse
them of wanting to make a display"

A Study i'm Vegetable Nature.

Vegetable nature is very much like
human nature, it will steal from it's
neighbor, and in vegetable life we must
give back to the tree that which has
been taken from it. Lack of moisture
may prevent bearing the following
year. The full annual duty of a tree
is TO perfect its fruit and prepare for
next years crop. A continuous mois-
ture supply is necessary to maintain
activity in the tree, as it will make a
large draft Dol soil moisture, while
making new wood and large fruit. and
if moisture fails then it may be forced
into dormancy before it can furnish
good strong buds for the following
years bloom.-Epitomist.
