The Lesser LIGHTS.

Some one must play the minor parts,
Some one must hold the spear,
And some one, when the music starts,
Must follow In the rear.
Not every one can be the star
That shines with great white light,
But some must twinkle from afar
To harmonize the night.
Not every one can march ahead
And at the ladies smile,
For some, with sober. martial tread,
Must be the rank and file.
When war has raised its horrid front,
The fight could not be won
Without to bear the battles brunt
The man behind the gun.
No play of politics or war
Or love could be the rage
If every one were fighting for
The center of the stage.
Some one must play the thinking parts
Must ope and close the gates,
Or say, when the procession starts,
my lord. the lady waits"
And so we might philosophize
About the game of life,
For only one can win the prize,
Though fierce may be the strife.
And as we move the pawns about
To see where they will fit,
We're satisfied some should lose out
If we can just be 1t.

AN ACRE OF IANna

The possibilities connected with the
intensive cultivation of one acre of
land are much greater than most peo-
pie suppose. The gross return from
the average acre Of good prairie soil
In the west is not far from $40, prob
ably less than more. One acre put into
Strawberries, onions, celery or early
potatoes, to be followed by crop of
turnips. will easily give gross return
OF over $3.50 per acre. Used as a we'll
cared for small fruit and vegetable
garden for the farm home 1t will re-
turn any year over 800. Planted to
a late potato crop 1t will for period of
ten years bring in over $50 per acre.
The truth is that nearly every man
has twice as much land as he can
work to advantage and depends upon
small returns from large acreage
when he could handle his business with
more pleasure and profit II he would
try getting large returns from a small
acreage.

a Victim of Habit.

A new member of the fire depart
ment in Chicago after weeks serv-
ice reported to the chief that he de-
sired to resign in order to return to
his old occupation of stoker on a
lake steamer.
"Why," exclaimed the chief, 81
thought you were perfectly satisfied
with your job. l am surprised that
you should wish to go back to your
old position, which pays you less
money than this"
"Well, chief" was the reply, "it
isn't because Tm not satisfied with
the place, but l figure it out that |
wasn't intended to be fireman. Ev-
cry time we 60 out to fight blaze

Women's Hair In japan.

In Japan, Especially in the heart
of the country, where foreign inau-
ence, has never reached" quotes the
Woman's Journal, there are women
who wear their hair bobbed like a
small boys. This is sign that they
are widows and is done in respect
for Japanese custom of burying
part of the wife's hair with the body
of her husband. Often she cuts off
just little, not enough to spoil her
pretty coiffure. But when she de-
termines to remain forever true to
his memory she cuts off all her hair
and never again permit, it to grow.

SELECTING THE SEED.

While it is quite little while till
springs work, 1t is still in order to say
word or two about seed grain, the
wheat, barley, oats and corn which will
form the source of next seasons crop.
The easiest way is to make no prepara-
tion, but just go to the bin and the
crib and take out the grain and SOW
or plant it, but it Is not the best way.
AS crops are harvested and thrashed
there is always large per cent of the
grain which is totally unfit for seed
purposes-th small and inferior grains,
those weak in vitality, mixed varieties
and plenty of weed seed. The wise
man will not sow this sort of seed. All
seed of the small grains should be thor
oughly cleaned and be subjected to
ouch blast of air that all lightweight
and defective grains will be eliminated.
There is an old fashioned and pretty
good way to do this by throwing the
grain little at a time with a shovel
against light wind and only using for
seed those grains which, being the lar
gest and heaviest, you can throw the
furthest. This. plan also disposes of
nearly all weed seed. A few days can
well be put in during the winter in
testing and selecting the seed corn. 1t
Is worth a good deal to know that 1t
will grow and that 1t has been so Sc
lected as to type and size of kernel that
the planter will plant it accurately and
that the crop will be of uniform color
and type. These are jobs which can
easily be done during the leisure of
winter and are sure not to be done If
the work is delayed until sowing and
planting time.

CONVINCING Evidence.

Lawyer-Would you believe the
sworn testimony of this man?
Witness-Certainly not, sir!
Lawyer-And why not?
Witness-Because, sir, that man
hates to tell the truth. He always
did. We were boys together, and he
used to cry when the teacher made
him say two and two made four.
Lawyer-Anything else?
Witness-Oh, yes. Once he was
i'll and described the symptoms so
that the doctor prescribed for a
sprained ankle when he was suffer-
ing from neuralgia in the head.
Lawyer-That will do. - Pear

For the man in town who wishes to
keep chickens the heavy Asiatic breeds
should be chosen in preference to 9th
ers. These are generally better winter
layers than are the lighter and smooth
legged birds and may be kept on a
smaller area of land and where they
belong with an ordinary four foot WOW
en- wire fence. The Light and Dark
Brahmas, the Cochins and Langshans
are any of them well suited for this
use.

Reckless Bravery.

A pretty lady sang song,
And the applause was loud and long,
Although she couldn't sing a bit.

I wonder If Carnegie won't
Make me a hero for that stunt.

Around nearly all Of the cornfields In
the west will be found a strip Of land
at least twelve feet wide up next the
wire fence which is devoted to the pro-
duction of worthless and worse than
worthless weeds. The up to date farmer
will seed down to clover and timothy
this strip, thereby securing clear
place on which to turn his team
when cultivating the corn, and later
will run the mower over it and get a
bunch of nice hay. This grass head
land on farm is a mark of good farm
ing.

The question of latitude alone does
not always determine the measure of
winter cold or the ability of certain
plants to endure such extreme temper
ature. for in much OF the north country
the winter brings very heavy SHOWS
early In the season, which remain on
the ground all winter, making a perfect
protection to many tender things. In
northern Michigan 1t is no uncommon
thing TO leave potatoes in the ground
all winter, the depth Of snow prevent
ing the ground from freezing at ali.
Much farther south in the prairie re-
gions OF the west the light snowfall
permits deep freezing OF the earth,
which often results In the death Of
clover and tho fruit trees.

The hardest thing to meet in the ad-
vocacy of improved types Of corn is the
old idea that the big ear of corn is the
best ear, and this regardless of the
size of the cob, the depth of the kernel
and the proportion Of grain to cob.
Down in Missouri, where the cob is
worth more than the corn for the max
ing of cob pipes, this old standard is
perhaps all right, but is all wrong
where the corn itself is the thing
sought.

About the incest lot of fodder which
we have seen this year was lot Of
cut corn which had been sown thickly
on five acre tract of rich land and
which had been cut with harvester,
bound and shocked. We very much
doubt II there is any other plant or any
other method which will give as salts
factory results where a supply of milk
producing fodder is wanted and where
a piece Of land can be devoted exclu-
sively to its production. How many
tons to the acre? Well, not less than
four, probably more.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-02-23

What one acre will do when inten-
sively farmed is well illustrated in the
case of man who died recently in
California. He owned but one acre of
land, upon which was his residence.
He and his wife had lived on this land
for twenty-four years, and when he
died his estate showed up a savings
account of $4,000. And still many men
who have 100 acres Of good land find
themselves In debt at the end Of twen-
ty-four years and have lived none too
well at that. 1t is not mere land that
men need, but the knowledge how to
work that which they have in better
way.

A reader wishes to know how late in
the season buckwheat and millet may
be sown to insure good crop for the

no September frost the sowing might
be delayed until the 18th Of July.

grown by themselves. This means
