A Great Life.

Do not try to do a great thing; you
may waste all your life waiting for the
opportunity which will never come.
But since little things are always
claiming your attention, do them as
they come, from a great motive, for
the glory of God, to win his smile Of
approval, and to do good to men. II
is harder to plod in obscurity, acting
thus, than to stand on the high places
of the field, within the view of all, and
to do deeds of valor at which rival
armies stand still to gaze. But no
such act goes without the swift recog-
milton and ultimate recompense Of
Christ. To fulfill faithfully the duties
of your station; to use to the uttermost
the gifts of your ministry; to bear
chafing annoyances and trivial irrita-
tions as martyrs bore the pillory and
stake; to find the one noble trait in
people that try and molest you; to put
the kindest construction on unkind
acts and words; to love with the love
of God even the unthankful and evil;
to be content to be fountain in the
midst of IA wild valley of stones, nour-
ishing few lichens and wild flowers,
or now and again thirsty sheep; and
to do this always, and not for the
praise of man, but for the sake of God
this makes great life.-F. b. Meyer.

Like a Rock to Us.

There are friends who are to us like
a great rock in weary land. We flee
to them in the heat of parching days
and rest in their shadow. A friend in
whom we can confide without fear OF
disappointment; who, we are sure, vii
never fail us, will never stint his love
in serving us, who always has healing
tenderness for the hurt of our heart,
comfort for our sorrows, and cheer for
our discouragements-su friend is
not only a rock of shelter for us in
time of danger, but is also us rivers of
water in thirsty land, when our
hearts cry out for life and love-
Selected.

Sugar is as good preservative as
vinegar 1t is mistake to suppose
that we must be sour or sharp In order
to identify ourselves with the right.
People who mean well but are disa-
greeable, work untold harm. Culti-
vate sweetness. Remember to be in
the right ourselves Is only half the
battle. The other equally important
part is to attract Others TO the good we
are trying to uphold. The world

GOOD AND EVIL.

The reader OF the daily news
papers is want to believe that this
is bad world. The city dailies
are filled with records of crime,
murder trials, divorce proceedings
and social scandals of every form
and name. The world is surely
growing worse, is the conclusion OF
the reader.
But is this really the faete Are
the influences for evil growing
faster than the influence for good?
These questions must be answered
In the affirmative if one judges
from the mass of news, in the daily
press, that tell of the ripened
fruits Of sin which have been
reaped in crime.
This is the conclusion one will
draw who is an exclusive reader of
the daily press. But this conclu-
sion is wrong. The newspaper
business has grown to such proper
tions and such rivalry exists be-
tween the different publications
that every thing that is within the
publishers power is done to make
his paper the most popular. The
reading public are attracted by
the red head lines calling attention
to crime committed and read and
talk it while little attention is paid
to other news. This is the reason
that every crime committed, after
1t has been magnifisd and polished,
appears in the newspapers while
nothing is said about the thousands
of kind, self-sacrificing, charitable
acts that are done each day to re-
lieve suffering and help unfortunate
humanity into a higher plane of
of living. Many heroes, whose
bravery equals that of a Sherman,
Grant or Lee, are fighting and
conquering in the great battles of
everyday life, and yet their names
are not mentioned or even known.
Reader when you are tempted to
believe that the world is growing
worse, remember that the Lowly
Nazarene. who. with one breath of
eloquence, swept away the long
established law of revenge and hate
-"An eye for an eye, and tooth
for tooth, and established in
its place the law of love and service
-'Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, has not only
millions but tens of millions of
followers at the present day. Never
were SO many people trying to at
tain to His high standard of right
eous living, The world is be-
coming better. We can see that
which is good in every person and
thing if we are looking for the good.
Items telling of self-sacrifice and
charity will take the place of those
describing selfshness and murder
in the daily press just SO soon as
majority of readers desire that kind
of literature.

Very little thought has been given
on the average western farm to breed
ing good-grade mich cows. The aver
age ranchman has usually taken n few
cows from his herd with which he
allows the calves to run and milking
them only for the small amount needed
for domestic purposes. Now that the
ranges are closing in and cattle must
have better care as well as to consist OF
better stock, the whole phase of ranch
ing in the west has changed for the
man who wishes to be prosperous on a
comparatively small amount of land.
This may be anywhere from I6O to 64O
acres, the only requisite being the pro-
duction of sufficient alfalfa to carry the

Frosted Blants.

1t sometimes happens that in spite
of all our precaution, our plants get
nipped by frost. The first impulse is
to put them in warmer place to thaw
out. But don't do this. Instead put
them in cool room one whose
temperature is but few degrees above
the frost-mark-and shower them with
cold water. Do this as soon as you
discover they are frozen. Leave them
in the dark and the cold all day. Very
likely some of the tenderest portions of
them will have to be removed, but
have often seen quite delicate plants
come opt of the ordeal apparently un-
injured, under this treatment. 1t is
quite important that they should not
be allowed to thaw before the shower
ing. Put them in the cool room i'm
mediately. If this is not done until
the frost leaves them, and they wilt,
you cannot save them. The thing to
aim at is, to extract the frost so grad
ually that the cells of the, plants are
changed from a low to high temper

The railroads are well paid for NOV
ing the crops of this country, the
amount this year being calculated at
S463 ,644, ,051. The total crop valuation
is estimated at 1885, 900, 600 and if all
is moved the stuff would fill Is, 900, sos
reight cars of an average capacity of
| twenty tons. The transportation tax
on the whole amounts to about per
cent of the valuation. To transport
the entire crop of 2,40O, 600 bushels Of
corn alone would require 2, 4O0, 600 cars,
while the estimated production of so,
500, 900 tons of hay would require 1881,
SlS cars, if it was all moved at one time.
To transport all of the estimated co.
600, 900 head of cattle would require
2, 100000 cars, while the estimated
wheat production of $50 900, 900 bushels
could be carried in CLIO cars. Not
all of these farm products, however,
will be moved by the railroads, as a
great deal of them are utilized in home
consumption. AS a matter of fact not
more than 75 per cent of the various
grains will he moved by the steam
roads, probably only 20 per cent of the

ORNAMENT THE HOMESTEAD

The intelligent. and judicious orna-
mentation of any homestead, whether
In town or country. by the planting of
trees, shrubs and vines gives to such
place a distinctive added value in dol
lars and cents aside from the pleasure
derived by the owner and the public in
an aesthetic and artistic sense which
such work affords. \ grove of Scotch
pines or other conifers, of 200 trees,
betting the farm homestead on the
north and west in the prairie sections
will add at least $500 to the value of
the farm when it is sold. \ well cared
for family orchard and small fruit gar
den will do the same thing and will in
variaDly be quoted as one of the valu-
able accessories of the place if it should
be advertised for sale Deciduous
trees, properly planted on dividing
lines or grouped on the knolls too rough
for cultivation, always give the farm
an added value. while,u 90 on the other
hand, the ramshacllle. neglected. bare
homestead always is deteriorated in
value on that account. 1t pays to do a
good many nice things, and this is one

CLOVER FOR THE ORCHARD.

We are seeding down Il twenty-four
acre orchard of apple trees to red clo-
yer this spring. The trees now fully
occupy the soil, and further cropping
with cultivated crops is out of the
question. The clover will be sown
without any nurse crop and will be
gone over with the mower when weeds
and clover are large enough to cut in
July. The second growth will be al
lowed to remain OH the ground for
winter protection. If the blue grass
creeps in, as it is bound to do. the or
chard will be redsked in two years
and the clover seeding repeated. After
a careful study of how best to care for
an orchard in the north country we
have come to the conclusion that the
above is the best way. We have one
rear, however, and that, that the pock-
ct gophers may invade the orchard for
the clover, which they are apt to do,
and then prove destructive to the roots
OF the trees. This will have to be
watched.

THE HoLsTE1N FOR nEEr

Some recent experiments with Hol.
stein cattle in the line of beef produc.
ton have been surprise to those who
while conceding the superiority of this
breed as dairy stock, have been un-
willing to concede that they possessed
any merit as feeders. The Holstein
steer has the frame and marked abil.
ity to assimilate his food, and while
lacking the perfect form and smooth
ness of the Shorthorn or Doddie it has
been conclusively proved that he can
make pound of good beef as econom-
1cally as any steer on the market. With
this fact established, the Holstein will
come nearer to filling the purpose of a
dual COW on the average farm than
any other breed, for she can always
be depended upon at the pail.

BAD RESULTS OF RENTING SYSTEM.

BAD RESULTS or hENIlNG SYSTEM.
The most discouragng feature of the
agricultural development of the coun-
try is the unmistakable tendency to-
ward the renting of the land and the
steady decrease in the number of land
owners who work their own farms
There can be little real Improvement of
agricultural conditions where the
farms are occupied and worked by
transient renters operating on short
time leases. Such system strikes at
the very foundation of successful and
improved agriculture no stock. no
clover. no rotation of crops: just Il con-
tinued round of land skiming and soil
robbing and the placing of the brand
of degeneration so plainly visible on
nearly all rented farms 1t seems
strange that landowners will permit
such wasteful and rllinous policy
when not only themselves, but the ten
ant as well and the farm itself would
each be benefited by the longer lease,
which should always include the stock
keeping proposition and the reasonable
rotation of the crops. We know of
thousands of acres of what was few
years ago the most fertile land in the
world which has for years been worked
by a new tenant each year and which
this year will return olN scant and
