What Is Success.

Many men who have died poor and
who have ever been poor have been
great successes. Our Savior was a
poor man, the poorest of the poor and
yet no life was ever such Il success
IA His. The mistake of this age is in
judging success by wealth. A man
may be worth $1OO,OOO,O 900 and yet be
an absolute failure. That is he may
he rich and yet be a hog. He is sue
cessful who goes through the world
doing the most good. Frightening the
lives Of his fellow creatures not only
but making life more comfortable for
'the lower animals. the horses. the
cows, and chickens and wild birds.

POtatOea and Potash.

Here are two hills of potatoes,
the difference in development of the
plants and also in the product Of the
yield Of tubers. A number Of expert
mental plots were laid out. Three
rows. each one rod long and BIB feet
apart, were planted with potatoes of
the White Star variety. Plot No. > re-
ceived no fertilizer of any kind. Plot
No. 5 had an application of kainit and
acid phosphate. The illustration is
taken from the West Virginia Expert
mental Station, Bulletin No. 20.
Now for the results: The potatoes
produced by the three rows Of plot No.
5 weighed 81 pounds. and the plants
and the potatoes are represented OH
the left side of the picture. The pota-
toes produced by the three rows Of plot
No 3 weighed 55.S pounds. and the
plants and the potatoes are shown on

yield due to the use of kainit and acid
phosphate was reckoned to be at the

The Packers Power.

The only rational cause for the
great falling off in prices paid by the
packers for hogs and beef cattle is the
determination of the packers not to
give more They are not in the pack
ing business for either health or recre-
alton but for the money they can ac-
cumulate. OF course the less they pay
for the animals and the more they get
for the animal products the more mon
ey they make. This accounts for the
high price to consumers of beef. pork,
etc. as we'll as the lows price of hogs
and cattle.-Farm and Ranch
