General Farm Notes.

OCHcTdl NOteSs
Drive slowly the first hour after a
meal.
Light and dryness destroy fungus
growths.
Thorough grooming cleanses the bids
as well as the hair.
Droppings deprived of the urine lose
the larger share of the potash they
contain.
1t is always ruinous to dispose of
any branch farming when prices are
unsatisfactory.
Generally the smaller the farm the
better the cultivation and the greater
the profit for the expenditure. \
The dirt and sweat which accumu-
late on the horses during the day
should never be allowed to remain on
over night.
There are two things a farmer can
never have enough of-one is feed.
the other is manure. Feed makes
manure if fed 10 stock on the farm.
Plants have greater need for their
leaves and can be more easily killed
in the growing season than when par
TALLY dormant.
The pure bred animal is the more
valuable simply because of its greater
capacity to appropriate favorable cir
cumstances. The pure bred animal
makes from scrub conditions no more
than the scrub does.

SPIRIT SURVIVES WRECK.
BY DR., J. p. bFuShInoha

There is. a pathetic sense in which
men, women and children are Great
ures of circumstances. We are phys
ically helpless in the presence of life's
awful tragedies. A seat in the Iro-
quois, on the deck of the Slocum or
in the shattered wreck of a railway
disaster. Force, fire, food are re-
morseless and know no favorites. But
the poisoned sword of Laertes can
not kill the lofty spirit of Hamlet. He
lives here. everywhere and forever
spiritually triumphant.
The Christian philosophy wreaths
sad and sudden death with hope. II
becomes more than transition; it is
promotion; it is larger life.

To Preserve Fence Posts.

In some sections of the country the
division of fields by fences is some
thing no longer done, but the majority
Of farmers still feel that they should
divide their fields. The work involved
in fence-building is SO great that one
does not care to do it very often, hence
it will pay to go to some trouble to
preserve the posts, these being the
parts Of the fence which need renew
ing firse.
While there are many preservatives
recommended, all Of them doubtless
more or less valuable, the old plan Of
smearing the end of the post with gas
tar is about as good as any. OF late
years strong solution of copper sui
plate has been used for this purpose,
with considerable success. 1t takes
time and trouble to prepare the fence
posts with either preservative, put on
as it should be, but it pays to do it,
for the posts will last double the num-
Der of years.

Sores or bruises on horses should

Add to the capacity Of the farm BY
adding to the strength Of the soil.
Clover is richer than grass In mus
Gle formers and is the best for young
stock.
Next to old horses old sheep are
among the most disappointing animals
which are kept for profit.
In breeding be sure to select a male
that is from a family better in your
line of dairying than your herd.

A PROPHECY FULFILLED.

when failure overwhelms you. be-
lieve that all will come right and work
for a future success" That Is the
moral to be drawn from a story told
in La Nouvelle Revue by Mons. Phil
ippe Bunau-Varilla, first minister from
Panama to the United States.
In 1889, he says, everything was ap-
parently going well at Panama. After
the great spoliation, or in spite of 1t,
the engineers had done great work.
Much of the excavation had been &C
complished, but much more remained
to be done. The machines were on the
ground, the workmen were there; il
remained only for an honest admins
tration, making use of these mate
rails, to finish the work. Enough work
had been accomplished to make Wis
ible basis for negotiating loan. Then
panic seized the French people, and
the enterprise went to pieces.
Two years later, thoroughly discour-
aged, the engineer was in New York
City, where he consulted John Bige-
low, formerly United States minister
to France.
"What shall do " he asked
write a book" replied Mr.. Bigelow.
But who will read it?" asked the
discouraged Frenchman.
do NOT worry about that" said Mr..
Bigelow. do not write it for to-day.
Write it for ten years from to-day"
Monsieur Bunau-Varilla went to
work, and prepared a concise and hon.
est statement of exactly what had
been done and what remained to do,
with his estimates of time and ex-
pense required. He published it in
March, 1892. Ten years later in June,
1902, the United States Senate. voted
in favor of completing the Isthmian
canal, and the prediction of Mr.. Bige-
low was fulfilled. The book of the
French engineer, sane. practical, HON
est, had been one of the greatest infiu-
ences in turning American sentiment
from Nicaragua to Panama, and bring
ing success at last to the great ditch.

to find it written backwards-that is,
If the victim has succeeded in writing
anything than can be made out at all.
Nine persons out Of ten begin to write
at the left eyebrow and write toward
the right eyebrow. But this is not
really writing from left to write, IS
writing should be done, but from right
to left, because when the paper is
taken from the forehead and lan on
the table it Is turned end for end.
Does the writer make the mistake be-
cause he says to himself, LET me see,
now, l must begin at the left" and
therefore begins at the left eye? Prob
ably not, for if he stops to think he is
apt to write correctly. The trick is
most likely to succeed when the writ
ing is attempted impulsively, without
thinking. So you should not say any
thing about writing, or even show the
pencil, until the paper is held on the
forehead and the eyes closed. Then
slip the pencil into the persons hand
and tell him to write. The mistake is
just one of those queer things in hui
man nature that nobody has yet ex-
planned.
The. precise directions about holding
the paper and the left hand mislead
the writer and make him more likely
to err, but their main object is to
guard the eyes against a possible jab
with the pencil, and for similar rea
sons a short blunt pencil should be
used.-People's Home Journal.

MEANING OF PRAYER.

More things are wrought by prayer
than this world dreams of. Yet prayer
in the old sense of an appeal to God
TO act on our behalf otherwise than he
would have done if not appealed to
has no place in the universe as men
now think of 1t. Prayers for rain or
for fine weather or for special interpo-
sition of the Almighty In our favor are
simply anachronisms. There is no room
for them in the thought of the un-
changing order with whom is 10
Nariableness." They belong to the

FAILURE FOLLOWS ARROGANCE
nv Rev. Orrin r. jerks

ny Kew VFTM Ne JOHASs
Rehoboam, who succeeded Solomon
In the kingdom of Israel, was a weak
vain and impulsive monarch. His
father had put heavy burdens upon
the people. Foreign alliances, the ex-
travagant luxury of court life, heavy
taxes and forced labor had forced a
CALLING yoke upon the people that at
last became unbearable and intolera-
BILE.
Thus by this heritage Of evils be-
queathed by Solomon to his son Reho-
boam was confronted at the very be-
ginning Of his reign with problems of
the gravest character. His people de-
manded that wrongs be righted and
that oppressive burdens be made light
er. Had Rehoboam read the signs OF
the times he could readily have seen
that he was dealing with a dangerous
discomfort. Had this king abated the
burdens of his people and promised
that he would study their peace and
welfare above all he could have crap.
pied to himself the, affections of his
people as with hooks of steel.
But following the advice of his boon
companions, who were worthless and
arlstocratic idlers, this empty headed
and foolish prince refused to reduce the
burdens or tighten the heavy yoke of
his subjects. He was dealing with a
high-spiritod people, whose bitter pas
sions were aroused and exasperated by
his answer to their petition for a re-
dress Of their wrongs. They answered
their king with a shout of rebellion.
They started war cry that brought
every man to action, the outcome of
which was shattered empire, hun
dreds of years of strife and folly and
a hopelessly divided kingdom.
Gigantic military systems cannot
long protect State. If the rulers of
any nation fail to execute Judgment
and to show mercy and compassion to
their brother men; If they Cypress the
widow, the fatherless and the poor,
then the glory of that nation will soon
depart, its existence will end and he'll
will be turned loose upon earth.

Value of Root Crops.


There has been much controversy OF
late years concerning the relative
values of root crops and silage. This
seems to be one of the questions that
ought not to be discussed, inasmuch
as the two crops, in the writer's Opin-
ion at least, are essential and one will
not take the place of the other except
in the sense that either provides succu-
lent food for stock.
When we commence to compare the
cost of'raising either crop we get into
interesting figures. Those who have
tried 1t know that it is hard to sow
the seeds Of root crops by hand, and
they also know that until the plants
are large enough to hold their own it
is hard work keeping the weeds down.
AS to the feeding values Of the two,
unquestionably the silage is the most
valuable, and if called upon to decide
between the two would select silage
every time.
If one has a good silo the root crops
will have their greatest value In fur
nishing variety in the menu, but
it is where the silo is unknown that
the root crops ought to be extensively
grown as furnishing a succulent food
and digestive at comparatively small
cost, as well as crop which may be
stored for winter use at small expense.

Cotton-seed Meal for Cows.

Dairymen find it difficult to carry
the cows along properly during the
droughty days of summer on pasture
alone, and all proper grains have been
tried VII varying results. One of
the best summer grains is cotton-seed
meal, for while feeding it will not ma
terially increase the milk flow it will
keep it nearly to the standard and will
keep up its quality, which is quite as
important. The feeding of it also
makes better butter at all times. and
particularly during the summer While
the quantity fed varies according to
circumstances, from two to four
pounds per COW daily is about a fair
ration and will give results which will
warrant the expense at any season.
The dairy COW should not be obliged
to travel long distance for water. If
she does she will go without until she
gets very thirsty and feverish, and
then drink until she is painfully nm
comfortable. Both conditions are I'M
favorable for milk secretion.
Keep a close watch over the suck
ling colts. A blemish or an injury
now N y ruin the value of the future
horse.
Anything less than full feeding at
any period is sacrifice of net profit.

more anxiety than ever surrounded the
coming Of a kingly heir
This is the fifth child that has
sprung from the union, but the first

The birth Of this child is considered
IN the light OF a great omen Of good.
The populace. IN whom superstition is

lde has turned toward a happier life.
The Russians place so much stress on
the birth of an heir that il is not an
exaggeration TO say that they think he

prayers for the prosperity Of the heir

A Happy Augury.
In receiving the congratulations OF
his court the emperor in brief reply
said:
Il am happier at the birth of son
and heir than at a victory OF my
troops, for now face the future calm
" and without alarm, knowing by this
sign that the war will be brought to a
happy conclusion"

in the choice of a name for she heir to
the throne by the fact that the impe-

not beginning with these letters would
