SELECTING AN
OCCUPATION.

1t is said that when a hungry IN
dian goes hunting he kills the first
thing he sees, if it is only "A crow.
Then if he kills IA duck he throws
away the crow and if he Kills a
deer he throws away the duck.
Very many men are like the In
dian in selecting their purposes and
pursuits in life
These thoughts We're suggested by
recent discussion with a young
man concerning his choice of II life
vocation,
The misfits of men aud their occu-
patious are common, Their COM
monness is their only protection
against popular remark. 1t is only
the rare man that has found his right
place who excites comment.
The traditional religious cuthusi-
asst who in his dreams saw upon the
wall of his room the letters OF fire
"P. c." and interpreted them
Preach Christ" and spent many
precious years in the pulpit before
he had forced upon him realization
that the letters must have meant
Pillow Corn is only one among the
millions who founder through life
to find in its barrenness of success
the error of having shot the first
thing seen, only to drop it when
something else appears.
The greatest problem any young
man has TO solve in life is that of
selecting his occupation. And it is
the problem before which man Is
the most helpless. Few are able to
analyze and estimate their own abil.
tiles or even to correctly test their
own inclinations.
1t is perhaps absolutely true that
there is no one born into the world.
however poorly equipped, who has
not some place awaiting him in
which he might be II complete sue
cess.
But how is he to find the place ?
How is he to recognize it even If by
chance he should stumble upon it"
This gravcst of all problems gets
the least practical attention. Cir
cumstancrs decide it far most, and
we are its slaves ever after. We may
drop the crow when We get the duck,
and the duck when we get the deer,
but we never know but that there is
still better game awaiting us.
A book that wouid be of wide and
practical benefit might be- made of Il
series of carefully prepared articles
by members of all the ordinary
trades and professions. accurately
defining the intellectual, moral and
physical =, quiremruts for success in
each. Such a book might help many
an anxious youth to search out his
natural abilities and inciiuations and
find the place int witch thy will
fit.

A Preventive Measure.

A practical plan for checking the
spread of tuberculosis in public con-
veyances has just been proposed. The
Anti-Tuberculosis league of Cleveland,
says the Leader, has received the sug-
gestion that the conductors be sup
piled with small cards on which is a
printed request that passengers de-
sfst from splitting on the floor, togeth-
er with a copy of the law on the sub
ject. When the conductor notices a
passenger violating the rule he is ex-
pected to hand the offender one of
the cards. He avoids all dispute with
the passenger, the other passengers
note what has been done, and it is
thought that the expectorator will
either become embarrassed and leave
the car, or take the suggestion in good
faith and abstain from repeating the
offense.
The Anti-Tuberculosis league, which
was organized recently, is having a
great deal of literature printed to dis
tribute among the schools, the work
shops, the tenement districts and in
all places where the seed of education
along hygienic and sanitary lines tend
ing to prevent the spread of tubercu-
losis would show promise of growth.

Shear Early.

The practice, still so common, OF
postponing the shearing of the sheep
until late spring is relic of the days
when sheep were kept for the wool
alone 1t was thought that by leaving
the fleece on, until after considerable
amount of hot weather had passed it
would contain much more grease and
thus a greater weight of fleece would
be secured Even if a greater weight
Of fleece were secured by this practice
there would be nothing gained so long
as the wool was sold on IT'S merits to
party who was a good judge of its
securing qualities. There would be no
greater weight of clean wool; only
more waste matter to cleanse out.
On the other hand, it is very doubt
full if late shearing gives any greater
weight of fleece, even with the more
oily-wooled breeds.
There is more or less loss of wool
through shedding. particularly on the
part of the ewes with lambs, where
the shearing is not done until late.
Also there is a less annual growth, as
with the heavy winter coat left on
after the weather gets warm, natures
effort is to remove this rather than to
grow more. With the winter over
warm weather, there will be a more
continuous growth throughout the
year. There will be more clean wool
and it will be of longer staple and
better quality.
Early shearing, before the sheep GO
to pasture, is also conducive to a
brighter and better condition of wool
by avoiding the soakings from spring
rains. Also. the sheep do much bet
ter if they have their coats off when
the weather gets warm. AS to expo
sure, if there are fairly warm sheds
or barns for shelter in case of sud
den change in the weather, the sheer
will not suffer as much from the loss
Of their natural protection at this time
as they will by having it removed in
the spring and then be caught in 8
cold all-day rain in the pasture.
By shearing before the field worE
opens up, there is the additional ad
vantage that it does not interfere with
other important work.. ]. Edgerton

A RadiSh Bed,

Every one considers it easy to grow
radishes, but l have not always foun6
it So 1t is one thing to grow radishes
and another thing to grow radishes
that are tender, crisp and really nice
to have on the table. To get a good
radish, it must be grown quickly. TIC
get quick growth we must have botf
rich soil and moisture.
For my radish bed I prepare the
ground very carefully, working in ma
nure and filming the soil as much as
possible. When the seed is sown l SET
that the ground is warm enough te
permit of the termination of the seed
though of course radiSh seeds do moi
require as much heat for termination
as do some other seeds. The sol
should not be heavy clay, for in that
case it cannot be worked fine enough
The Jumps prevent the seed covering
itself or OF remaining covered and the
air dries out the soil SO quickly around
the seed that the little sprout is killed
When the soil is largely of a sandy OF
1oamy nature the seeds are covered
enough to keep them moist and quick
ly send up leaves.
Later, when the soil gets very dry
use water to keep it moist. 1 have 8
hose by which the water is supplied
to the radish bed, for of course one
could never afford to carry water IL
a pail for the supplying of the radist
bed I believe that every farmer
should have an artificial supply OF
moisture for use in his garden during
the dry spell, which sometimes begini
in the middle of May.-Milton knight

HONEST CONFESSION.

plain, unvarnished tale needs no
