 MT. Henry PeItus is mourning the loss of about $52 50 as a result of en- dorsing a check, or rather identifying young man named Taylor at one of the banks some time ago. Mr. Pettas had known the young man and his family, who live in Memphis, for many years, and was greatly surprised when the check was protested, and he had it to pay. He thought there must be some mistake, and was not convinced that he bad been buncoed until he had communicated with the young mans father, and received d reply that he could do nothing for him, as he had tired of settling for his sons esca- pades, and thus Henry's faith in hu-- manity has been greatly decreased.

AROUND THE HOME.

The spring time is good time to make some
improvements around the home for the mothers
and the children's sake. mean that grass should
be seeded in the house lot so that lawn will be
provided there There is nothing that sets off the
appearance of farmhouse better than where it
nestles among green shade trees and sets in
well-kept lawn If the home is made inviting, and
ornamented with shrubs. flowers, and grass and
trees and the walks and yards kept in repair, and
these little things that cost only little time
and attention attended to, boys and girls will
find their home the most delightful place they
know, and they will not care run off to the city
the cotton mill
These are really things all of us can do which
will constantly add to the comfort of home and
pleasure of farm life.

chow LONG DO YOU PROPOSE TO 11vE3"

''HOW LONG DO YOU PROPOSE TO LIvE?"
The celebrated remarks of DR.. William Osler,
of Johns Hopkins University, concerning the
uselessness of aged men, have called forth volumes
of comment, but in all that has been written per-
haps there has been nothing SO useful as Mr..
John Brsben Walkers editorial in the April
Cosmopolitan, GLOW Long Do You Propose to
Liveg' 1t sums up in few paragraphs the es-
sence of the most approved medical and hygienic
teaching, and every Progressive Farmer reader
would do well to file the article away as model
referring to it constantly to how closely he is
living up to this recipe for prolonging youth.
Says Mr.. Walker:
GA human being brought into the world with
serious constitutional defects should be at the
very height of his powers at sixty; his body should
be as supple. as vigorous, as hardy and as endur-
ing at forty. But this means that it did not
begin with a college training of. tobacco-smoke
and beer; that it has not been kept confined in
rooms for long hours without fresh air; that it
has not wasted its powers in drink and debauch-
cry, and, also, the all-essential, that the man
should have been taught how to live. Not one
college professor in dozen knows how. The old
regime taught Greek and Latin, but not How to
Live The regime teaches competitive ath-
letics, in order to advertise the college but not
How to Live College professors have appar-
emily been the last to awake to the problems of
real life; wonder that Doctor Oslers observa-
tions should have given him poor opinion
of the human being.
"But what are the rules which will give long
life and, above all, that happiness which comes of
good health? Let me try to enumerate some of
them.
"Plenty of sleep in a well-ventilated room: win
dows all up in summer; in winter enough up to
keep a supply of fresh air throu ghout. Without
fresh air-enough of it-and plenty of sleep,
neither body nor mind can do it's best work
''The daily bath. This, for rich man or poor man,
is equally necessity. One does not need expen-
sive bath-tub-a So tin tub sponge from which to
squeeze water plentifully the body, and
towel; nothing more is required In fact, one can
do very well without tin tub. The hands
can apply water from the basin to every part of
the body, with nothing more than a newspaper
to keep the water from the floor.
"The bath is not hot-water, soaping process.
The lye of the soap and the hot water take much

unhealthful condition. The bath should be of

ALFALFA.

Our alfalfa plants are showing up splendidly
now. We shall have to cut them within a few
davs Just as soon as the blossoms begins to ap-
near alfalfa should be cut for the first time. IF
YOU let too many blossoms come out, the subse-
ouent cuttings will not be so heavy. It has been
noticed with all sorts of grass plants that if you
cut them early in the spring they will shoot out

and they will make another strenuous effort, and
do this same thing again, and the grass will not
despair but still make an effort to make seeds
Consequently frequent cuttings stimulate it to
more vigorous efforts and consequently better re-
suits Our tests suggest the need of incubation
for success; the application of potassium and
phosphorous in considerable quantities for vigor-
Gus growth, and a good seed bed that has been
thoroughly compacted. While it is now perhaps

What cares he? He cannot know:

Roll the drum and fire the volley!

the bath is not merely the cleansing process which
most people imagine, but the ssetting-up' gym
nastic exercise for the day.
"Abstention from over-eating. A vast majority
OF all diseases spring from over-eating.
You crowd food into your stomach, and this
can be used up only by exercise and by passing
oxygen through the blood to purify it. Then you
sit in badly ventilated Office, or in your home,
and expect Nature to 20 the rest much as if an
engineer should persist in having coal crammed
into his locomotive while standing in the round
house.
"The lack of digestion through exercise and
the deep breathing which comes of exercise in the
fresh air. oxygenating and so purifying the blood
this lack causes the secretion of poisons in the
system. Presently many so-called diseases,
nearly all being In reality but one-the failure
to digest our food, make their appearance. We
take drugs, most of them additional poisons to
the system, and try easy ways of recovery. We
do everything but the one needful .thing-exercise
in the fresh air.
GAS the will is broken by the inroads of disease,
we become less and less capable of making use
of this remedy.
"Debauchery by liquors, sexual debauchery, and
through opium and like drugs, and, most import
ant because most prevalent, by tobacco do not re-
qulre to be touched upon here. All are familiar
with the ravages which any one of these makes
upon the human body. There is absolutely no use

any of these-including tobacco-is permit
ted to claim you for it's own. MY smoking does
not do me the least HARM said the young man of
thirty five, with a splendid constitution. If at
fifty that man is nervous wreck, he will ascribe
his condition to all things rather than tobacco
But tobacco is quite capable of devastating even
the most splendid physique, and preparing the
body to drop an easy victim to pneumonia
zymotic disease.

"Overwork. It is quite possible to kill strong
man through the crowding upon him of duties
beyond his strength. The wise man will gauge
his powers and refuse to accept burdens which
will trespass upon the hours necessary for sleep,
for exercise in the fresh air. for reading and for
reasonable amusement.

"Worry. A philosophical avoidance Of worry
and that care which kills. But how? In
word refuse to be coward. Refuse to be scared
by the shadows which cross your path-in busi-
ness in housekeeping, in the raising of children.
Believe that you have the power to overcome all
difficulties by persistent, courageous, patient
bat against the daily troubles which beset the
paths of all, rich and poor alike.
