buy cordwood for the family, with
careful instruction as to the quality

should buy. Think of ten year-old
boy uuying cordwood. We were
taught to carry it in, but seldom did
it. LET alone buy It, When he was a
little older his father said TO him: 81
want you to build a good brick
house that will MAKE us a home.
Here is the money The lad took the
money, employed an architect, and
built the house, having no trouble
either with architect or contractor.
THAT, said the narrator, gave
me a great deal of confidence. " The
father went on providing business ex-
periences for this apt pupil. Presently
he began to allow him to loan money
for him, and, "Meanw lille, " says
the son, 81 was saving a little money
from what 1 had earned myself. l
soon learned that / could get as much
interest for $50-loaned at seven per
cent--the legal rate then-as ! could
earn by digging potatoes ten days.
The impression was gaming ground

to let the money be my slave, and
not to make myself slave to mon

Reading and Thinking.

The things one merely reads about
never stick. Those on which one
thinks become permanent acquisitions;
hence the man who is not afraid of
thinking and who does not dread that
cursed hour In the dark is at a dis
tinct advantage on every ground. He
passes the time without being bored,
and he strengthens his mind. To say
this may no doubt sound slightly prig-
gish, but it is none the less true. The
man who can enjoy and make use of
his own thoughts has heritage which
can never be alienated. Even blindness
for him loses some of its terrors.-

We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohea,
etc, but few people have any idea Of
what these names signify.
"Pekoe" in the dialect of Canton
means white hair" for the tea which
bears this name is made from the
youngest of leaves, so young that the
white down is still on them.
"SoochOng" in the same dialect is q
quite unpoetic name; it merely signifies
"small kind"
"Flourishing spring" is the meaning
of "Hyson."
"Congo' signifies labor" Much
trouble and toll are expended in its
preparation at Annoy, and these are
eommemorated in its name.
'Bohea" is called after a range Of
hills.

The Tickle Fair Ones.

Engagements are entered into far
more lightly and broken far more cas-
fly than used TO be the case, when be-
trothal was as serious an affair as mar
rage. Now it is not unusual for a girl
TO be engaged once or twice before she
is married, and people think none the
worse of her. Young girls ways are
beginning to resemble those of nurse
maids, who walk out with a man, but
not always with a view to matrimony.

When Queen Victoria visited any Of
her subjects it was by no means a
matter of course that people staying in
the house should have the privilege Of
sitting down at table with their august
fellow visitor. 1t was her majesty's
custom not only to take with her to the
house where she designed to "lie" las
the old phrase was) for a night or two
her own bed and bedding, carriages,
horses and servants Including occa-
sionally her cook, but also to contine
herself at meals to the company of her
own suit, sometimes inviting her host
and hostess to join her at luncheon or

New Years In Japan.

Most of the people you meet on the
Japanese New Year sday are carrying a
squashed salmon with piece of paper
tied round it's waist by a paper string
which holds a little gold paper kite
That kite means that the thing is a

Weather Marred the Day.

Decoration Day services at several

sections of the country were marred

will be sufficient to keep busy cut
ter of forty tons capacity. This will
require one good man in the field to cut
down the corn, one to help load, one
with each team, one at the cutter, one
at the power, and one in the silo. This
makes force of eight men in all. A
four-horse sweep power, or two-horse
tread power or steam or gasoline
engine of sufficient power can be
utilized to run the cutter. Give the
knives 600 to 500 revolutions Have
low racks for hauling when much
is to be ensiloed. The field cut
ter should lay his corn evenly in
gavels of a size to make an easy arm
full, supposing that it is corn to be
sliced. Load directly from gavel to
rack and from rack to feed table on
the cutter. 1t requires a vigorous
man to throw off load of corn stalks
in ten minutes, which is about the
right time that should be allowed
each wagon at the cutter. The man
in the silo should keep the cut fodder
evenly distributed over level sur
face in order to secure uniform set

Ting, and, in the case of corn, an
even mixture of ears with the rest of
the fodder Treading is not needed
in the center, but along the sides and
in the corners, if there are any, much
tramping is an advantage. If the
fodder is overripe it requires fine cut
ter to pack firmly, but in most cases
experienced men say two inches in
length is the proper size to give the
cut pieces. When the silo is filled it
should be covered closely, if there is
no roof over the silo, but with a roof
no covering is needed. Some weight
ing is considered important by many
who have had silos filled, but it is not
essential. as the silage settles suffici-
GENTLY by it's own weight.

How to Fill the Silo.

Filling the silo is simple opera
ton. Have your cutter of capacity
ample for any probable demand. 1t
is easier and more economical to
feed a machine capable of one-half
more work than is usually put upon
it. than to haggle along with one re-
curing more manifold motions to di-
vide a medium sized armful of fodder.
The entire force of men and teams
should be skilfully marshalled, to
avoid breaks or crowding in the re,
gular arrival of loads to the cutter.
Have neither too many nor too few
teams. If the field is near the silo,
as it should always be, three teams

Lettuce seed is not difficult to grow
and to gather. There are many va
rieties and numerous really good ones.
When the family gardener gets hold
of one that just suits him, the best
way is to let a few plants go to seed
and be sure to gather the seed when
ripe. He can thus make sure of hav-
ing just the lettuce he wants another
season. So it is with various vege-
tables.
