A Notab BILE Activity.

IN the service which it renders
it's people Minnesota has for
many years set the pace for
other states in numerous lines
Of work and in none of these has
thestate been more conspicuously
successful than in the work it
has done to promote intelligent
and profitable farming.
The state agricultural school,
with it's practical experimental
sub-stations, and the state farm
er's Institutes, have been the
principal agencies to this end
and the work that they have &C.
complished has been a very valu-
able one to Minnesota. The les
sons learned at the state expert
mental farms, and the practical
problems there worked out, have
been made of direct and immed-
late use to the farmers of the
state through the medium of the
state Institutes conducted in
such a manner that they have be-
come medels for other states to
copy from.
So successful has Minnesota
been in this work that the nation
and other individual states have
come to us to be taught and to
find material for teachers. Min
nesota has given w. M. Hays to
be assistant secretary of agri-
culture, Professor Thomas Shaw
to be editor of the Orange Judd
Farmer, an agricultural paper of
national prestige, w. L. Carlyle
to be head of the agricultural
school of the University Of Colo
RADIO, T. A. Hoverstad to be su-
porintendent of the state insti-
tutes of Forth Dakota, ETC., etc,
Minnesota is a. great farming
state and it has great reason to
be proud of the contribution
which it is making to the ad-
vancement Of agriculture and
particularly of the valus BILE pract-
ical service it is rendering it's
own people.

An exchange tells of an old colored

woman and the doctor:
"What did you say was the trouble

II said, replied the doctor, "that

The Saving Habit.

Have you bank account? If not
why not?
Your wages are small? Demands
are large? Saving is impossible?
Pardon US, saving is not impossi
bic. The saving may not be large. 1t
may be pitifully small at the frs,
trial; but the saving will be begin.
Mug, and it will grow. There are
several reasons why you should have a
bank account, however modest it IL ay
be.
First Of all, some day you will need
some ready money. Sickness, loss of
work, slight turn in the wheel of
fortune-what will you do?
Another reason may be found in
content and peace Of mind. He who
has some savings feels more secure
than does the spcndthrift. Discon-
tent and worries dog the footsteps Of
the man who lives up all his income.
But the big reason is this: The
saving habit is reflex il it's action. 1t
is an index Of character. 1t is easy to
spend money. 1t requires effort to
save it. The fabby.minded man lets
60 his money recklessly. The strong
man resists the temptation to spend
more than he can afford and in resist
ing this temptation, grows stronger.
Nor need one grow stingy and hard
hearted. There are many induce ments 8
for young man, especially, to let 60
of his money. He is urged in hun
drcd ways to squander his hard earned
dollars foolishly. He who resists is
laying the foundation for strong
business character.
There are thousands, especially in
the cities, who, drawing good salaries.
gauge the outgo by the income. They
do not save cent. And it is usually
these ewho envy the successful and
point to the latter as lucky ones,
whereas it is true that the foundation
of every fortune has been laid in the
habit of small savings.
Go to the bank and start an account,
however small il may be. 1t is the
habit Of saving that is more important
than the saving itself. Get the habit.

Irish Courtenv.

An Irishman has oftentimes such
particular regard for the feelings of
a stranger that rather than contra
dict him he will appear to acquiesce
In many things that he could not be
expected to believe. l said he will
appear to acquiesce. A tourist who
was sailing upon Loch Erne once
wished to test the alleged character
OF lrishmen for politeness. Now,
there was regular squall on, and
at a moment when the old boatman
was engrossed and had all his ener-
gies bent to keep the little craft be-
fore the wind the inquisitive one,
leaning over to the old boatman,
shouted in his ear, Every little wind
today!" every little indeed" was
the reply, ''but what there is of it
is mighty strong."-I.eslie's Maya
zine.

his days quietly in his native town.
Just after lie had taken his ac-

church he was requested to perform
the duty of an absent deacon, by
assisting in taking up the collcc-
ton. He was proceeding dccorous-
ly along the aisle with the plate
when, half way down the aisle. he
came to the Atkinson pew. On this
morning Mrs. Atkinson's Uncle
Harvey, who happened to sit next
the aisle. had dropped off into a
pleasant little nap.

jefferson Denied The Alligator.

The late Joseph Jefferson told the
following story on himself. The
incident occurred at Palm Beach, Fla. +,
last winter, not more than 500
yards away from the actors pretty
cottage. =
An unique figure OF this resort is
alligator Joe," half.breed trapper
and guide, who is picturesque and
unoouth character. A northern wo.
man, newly arrived, had evidently
heard Of the human landmark, and
wae out looking for him, but the only
fisherman on the pier that morning
happened to be Mr.. Jefferson. He
was old enough for the part, and he
looked extremely uncouth ir his fish-
ing garb.
The newcomer said; "Are you not
Alligator Joe?' "
Jefferson's merry eyes twinkled,
and as he glanced up quickly, he
said II confess to the Joe, madam,
but I deny the alligator.

Smallest Engine.

The smallest stationary engine in
the world, as far as its maker can
learn, rests entirely on a fvc-ccnt
piece. 1t is owned and was made by
John II. Cunningham, jeweler of
Eaton, which is small town ten miles
north Of Muncie. Cunningham has a
fad for making miniature machinery.
The little engines operates at re-
markablc rate or speed under pound
Of steam. So small are some Of the
parts that uiagnifyinr glass is neccs-
sary TO make 4 proper examination Of
them. The screws that hold the parts
together are made from needles, the
threads being SO fine as to defy the
naked eye. The screws are fraction
Of Inillimctcrin 10 diameter. The fly
wheel measures about three eighths Of
an inch in diameter. 1t was turned
from steel by Cunningham, who says
it is the largest wheel that the engine
will turn.
The engine has one sixteenth of an
inch stroke, the cylinder head meas
ures eighth Of an inch in diane
ter, while the capped cylinder head
measures a fourth Of an inch. The
striking boxes are packed Tith lin.,
scraped from silk thread, cotton being
too coarse for the purpose.
Cunningham canno. estimate tho
power Of the little contrivancc whose
steam is generated in a boiler made
from hand bicycle pump and heated
by gas jet. The engine thus far has
never been able to overcome greater
resistance than that furnished by the
hywhecl.
The engine was first built on five
cent piece, and Cunningham has now
mounted the coin and engine on a
small stand. The piping Of the en-.
CINE is small copper wire drilled out
in the centre and running to the boil
er, which is several times the size and
weight Of the engine.
