KNOWING ENOUGH.


I wish that 1 might Impress upon
every boy and girl among our read
ers the incompatible value Of good
education. A boy OF fifteen who had
just graduated from the grammar
school, came to me one day, and
said:
Gould you get me place in your
office? want to give up school
now"
Give up school at your age!" l
said.
yes. SIR be replied. "1'm tired
of 1t and I want to get to earning
money. Plenty of boys no older than
I am are earning Ave of six dollars
week"
us 1t really necessary for you to
give up SCHOOL,"
ooh. no; can keep on and go
through the high school II want to,
and I've an uncle who says he'd help
me through college after that. But
| don't like to go to school. and I
want to get to earning money.
Then l gave that boy a good talk
ing to-" and what said to him ap-
plies to every boy who would leave
school simply because he doesn't
like it," or because he wants to
earn money" This boy. lie many
others, thought that he knew enough
now" which reminded me Of the
words of noted writer, who said:
1.-THE boy who leaves school know
ing much. but hating his lessons, will
soon have forgotten almost all he
ever learned: while another who has
acquired thirst for knowledge, even
II he mad learned little, would soon
teach himself more than the first ever
knew"
] am always sorry for the boys who
know enough" at fifteen or sixteen
years Of age. The time is sure to
come when knowledge of their own
ignorance at this age will come to
them with humiliating force. A boy
OF sixteen or even nineteen has hard
ly done more than to begin to learn.
He has but laid the foundation of
real knowledge, and, when he talks
of knowing enough" he proclaims
his ignorance.
All that the wisest men on eartn
know is trifling when compared to
that which they do not know 1t may
be true that you do not like to study.
but you will find, my boy, that life
is full of duties, the performance of
which You may not really like, but
they must be performed. Then, too,
1t is entirely possible for you to learn
to like your studies, and when this
happens, you will realize the immense
advantage and the value of educa-
ton.
II any Of you intend leaving school
this year simply because You are
tired of school life" or because you
want to earn money" ] beg of you
to give the matter careful, prayerful
consideration before you take step
so certain to be regretted in after
life when you realize that you did
not know enough" or half enough,
when you left school-Young Peoples

1t was about three thirty in the af-
ternoon. The sea was rolling high; but
Miss Nolan, rocked by wind and wave,
slept the sleep of sea sleeper, and it
was not until great shout went up
from some men on deck that she be-
came conscious of peril. What was
that cry she heard? There it was
again:
Haywood is overboard!"
She start to her feet, but fell al
most Immediately. She crawled to the
cabin door and tried to push it open
AS she did so sen mightier than had
been felt before struck the ship and
capsized her.
The girl realized that something
terrible had happened, that death was
waiting near; yet. in this awful situa-
tion closed in alone under the deck of
the steamer, no sign of human life
around her, only the warning elements
in her ears, the only clear thought in
her mind was that the man she loved
had gone to his death. She realized
now that she loved him, else why this
pain at her heart-this indifference to
her own fate?
The sound of sharp blows on the
planking ebove her head aroused her
form the stupor into which She had
fallen. A face she knew looked down.
II have come for you," said Mark
Haywood.
Then Edna Nolan lost consciousness.
The steamer had capsized, with the
side Of her deck uppermost under
which was Miss Nolan's BERTH The
capsizing was an unexpected happen

were discussing the questions of the

Late Ha.ched Chicks,

If one is depending upon eggs lain
in the winter for profit, 1t is best to
raise early chicks. but the late-hatched
chick may be made to turn in good
profit If 1t is given a chance during the
summer. The plan is an easy one.
Put the late-hatched birds together on
n range not too large, SO they are
tempted to run off all the flesh you put
on them. Have the range of thick
grass and portion of 1t shady. Io-
cate it within convenient distance of
the house and have colony houses on
the range, 81, that the birds may roost
there. See that they are well sup
Piled with water. and give them feed
of grain once a day. making the guam
tity about half what they would have
If confined. Let the grain be mix
turc of wheat and corn In about equal
quantities. 1t may sound strange to
hear wheat advised. but 1t is profit
able, for you can almost see the birds
take on weight, and then when they
must have II month indoors on grain
In the fall they take OH weight very
rapidly and go to the market young,

THE KNoTTEp FLAG.

The important part played by flags
in all maritime affairs cannot be over
estimated. Besides signalling there
are many other uses to which they
can be put. Visitors to any of the
big seaports! like London or Liverpool,
may often have seen a vessel flying
a flag with knot tied in one corner.

The Hen That Works.

The hen is naturally Industrious. and
she should not be compelled to remain
idle by being cooped up in dark,
filthy house with leaky roof and bare
floor. She should be encouraged to
work, and place should be provided
for her. If it is impossible to have
separate scratching shed. arrange
dropping boards under the roosts and
cover the floor with straw and throw
grain in this. Any kind of small grain
is good-the best being oats. millet and

The Farm and the Farmer.


1t Is strange that in this great agri-
cultural country the government was
so slow to organize, as component
part of itself, department for the
betterment OF the sons OF the soil. It
was not until the country was more
than century old that the Depart
ment of Agriculture was established
and the farmer was given direct vote
In the cabinet,
AT the end of President Cleveland'st
first term, In 1889, that bureau was
organized, and 1t has already done
much to elevate the status Of the farln-
er and dignity the art OF agriculture.
Considering that our farms are the
corner stones of the nations prosperi-
ty, and that the farmer lad, in his
chip hat and jeans. is the real hope
and salvation of the country, 1t is q
remarkable fact that our forefathers
did not establish bureau of agri-
culture as the first stepping stone for
the young nation.
We are just beginning to wake up.
Along tnls line tnere is mucn TO no
done by the government, by tile agri-
cultural colleges, and by the farmers
Institutes.
The farmer of the West-who IL the
real farmer in the big. broad sense
does not make the most of his orpor-
tunlties. He has not made his acres
as eloquent with the harvest es has
his European brother. This is a mat.
ter that concerns every American clti-
zen. the broker of Wall street, the mer-
chant of South. Water street, every

Interior Of the Barn,

Readers Of this department willsre-

my Swede hired man, who insists ION
grooming the cows as carefully az tho
horses. At first we thought this con-
siderable Of joke, but 1t was soon
discovered that the work was profit
able In the milk return, 80 now we
take our turn at grooming. Some time
ago this Swede was set to whftewaSh-
ing the inside of the poultry houfes,
and after the work was thorouR&ly
done he wanted the privilege of white
washing the COW stables. 1t seems; to
us sometimes as IL he wanted to put.

way, could be soiled, and we have
allowed him SO much liberty in this,
respect that he whltewashes the IN
terror of the hog pens, and certainly.
thus adds to their beauty as well as to
the healthfulness of the swine. Some
day, while the cows are In the pas.
ture, go over the walls with broam
and sweep down all the dust and cob
webs and then thoroughly whltewash
the walls. You will be SO much pleased
by their appearance that you will findj
1t easy to do 1t frequently during the
winter. There is no reason. other than
custom, why the interior Of barns
should be so dismal and lack so many
conveniences. Try some way Of Inn
proving them. 1t takes but little time,
and the stock will be all the better for
having pleasant quarters. -Indianapo-

How Great Britain Sells Live Stock.

more Important than the marketing OF

than one-half Of the meat eaten at

methods commonly used In disposing
of live stock. The first Is by direct
sale, the second by auction. When
the first method is used the custom
Is for the seller to seek his purchasers
by advertising widely in the agricul-
tural and other newspapers. The most
common method Of selling live stock.
however, Is by auction, and thesesauc-
tons take place most commonly at the

Despite the fact that the corn crop
is very large, market reports indicate
that it Will not be sold at extremely
low prices, as was feared some time
back, when 1t was seen the crop would
likely be heavy. The intelligent and
up-to-date farmer with heavy crop
of AL corn can make 1t yield him good
returns by selecting the best of the
crop and putting 1t on the market at
the highest rates quoted and using the
proceeds to buy other grains which
will give him the needed balanced RAJ
ton for his stock. This is departing
somewhat from the general plan OF
feeding whatever grain one has In
abundance, but 1t will pay. Moreover,
1t will pay even to the point of re-
ducing the herd to just the number
that can be properly fed on well-bal-
anced rations. 1t is not hard to use
the corn crop for feeding SO that the
value Of the milk produced Is really
less than the value of the corn and
the manure, thus giving one lot of
hard work and no profit. On the other
hand, II one feeds just the number of
cows he can feed on a balanced ration,
disposIng of both the surplus cows
and corn, he is money ahead at the end
Of the season.

New European Hor.e Disease.

ment Of disease which has been
prevalent among horses in France
near the German line, known as .'con-i
tagious pernicious anemia." Prefes-
sors Vale and Care at Abort have
investigated this disease very thor
oughly and shown by experiments that
1t is transmitable. 1t seems to be
caused by minute bacilli, which cannot
be distinguished at present even with
the most modern technical appliances.
The German foreign Office called at
tention to the disease by publishing q
notice in the newspapers cautioning
against purchasing horses from the In
fected districts of France, and the
Chancellor Of the Empire has now is
sued circular to the governments Of
those States Of Germany which are
likely to import German or Belgian
horses and has called attention to the
danger Of introducing the disease In
German territory.

are hardy, or SO nearly SO that they
need only a mound Of earth around
the base to carry them through severe
