readers about N of the best and most
labor-saving contrivances for working
out stumps. l call it a 'stump-twist-
err" see diagram. First make a strong
hook as for a log-hoOk, only three
times as heavy. Get a good stout pole
20 to % feet long. About 2 feet from
the large end of pole fasten the hook
in the manner of a cant hook, and
hitch a team to the end of lever. The
stump is easily twisted out. If there
is any trouble at the start, cut one or
two Of the larger roots. Always try
to twist stumps Dol after a rain; it is
then so much easier work. In using
this twister there are no tools to carry:
team pulls pole to next stump. Two
men pull thirty stumps a day easily

Good Poultry Breed.

We believe that some of the troubles
Of raisers Of the White Wyandotte
come from improper feeding. While
the breed is supposed to be tough and
hardy there is a weakness in them
somewhere which demands careful
feeding. In an experience of ten years
with the breed, we have found they
must be uniformly fed at the same
hours daily, and that their food must
be of the best quality and in consider
able variety.
Handled in this manner they will
give satisfactory results and produce
eggs in about the same numbers dur
ing the year as the Plymouth Rocks,
but. with us at least, they do not equal
the Leghorns in this respect. On the
other hand there is considerable to the

ton you have only to pull down upon
the hoisting rope until the supporting
loop Of the track is above the hook;
then a little side movement will move
1t upon the hook. In lowering the
track, elevate to clear the point Of
hook, when pulling in a little upon the
rope will draw the loop clear of the
hook.
Raising and lowering the track is
but a moments time, and can be done
after each load if you desire to close
the doors. When using track the rope
can be thrown over the door or a nail

At Seed Time.

At u -
1t is estimated that II the corn crop
Of the country could be increased 10
per cent 1t would add to the production
of wealth In the United States over
seventy millions of dollars. That the
corr crop can be increased this small
per cent is well known, for 1t requires
only the selection Of the best seed and
the best methods Of cultivation to do
it. The trouble is, corn Is too easily
grown and the crop is usually large
enough 10 that there are enough ker-
nels left In the crib for seed. So the
average farmer argues, why should l
pay out good money for seed corn
when there is more than / need in my
own cribY He forgets that the seed
corn in his cribs may be the kernels
dropped from nubbins and if so they
will produce nubbins.
The tendency to pay out as little as
possible for seeds is wrong. 1T is safe
to say that in a normal season one
would make more clean cash from
crops grown from the best seed sold
regardless Of price than from double
the quantity Of what may be called
cheap seeds. If you don't believe in
the value Of the best seeds, test them
in a small way. Take, for example,
a few seed tubers from the potato pile
in the cellar, then buy from some repu-
table scotsman the same quantity Of
the same variety, cut the seed in the
same way, plant at the same time and
give the same care and cultivation. At
harvest time compare results and II
you do not find the argument in favor
of high-class seed a solid one Wen take
it all back.

n >ature ought to be what it can be. We buy a
singing bird, and it does not sing. We feel that we are
being cheated. A horse that Is destined for the race course,
we say, ought to be able to run. A dray horse may be
simply strong and well trained. A pointer dog must point.
A setter dog must set. We claim that a creature ought to
be what 1t is called and is capable of being. A man ought
to come up and live in the spiritual ranges Of his being.
Ii he does not, he Is not a man, is not true to the highest
and noblest conception Of his being. You cannot love and
with nobody to love, with whom to sympathize, toward
whom you are to be helpful. The very fact Of cultivating
these things, which constitute you in the highest and truest
sense OF the word a man, of necessity puts you in vital and
helpful relation to your fellow men.
What then? The church is the only organization on
the face of the earth that has this cultivation of man
mood, this Development of the highest and most essential
characteristics of men and women, as its one essential aim.
The church exists for thls. Ii is a place where these fac
uitles and powers are appealed to, where they are called

into play. This Is what the church is for and there Is
no other organization in all the wide world the one aim
and end and object Of which is to make manhood and

RISKS LIFE TO SAVE GOOSE.
Mar Lowered Down an Old Mine
Shaft 100 Feet Deep.

Shaft 700 Feet Deep.
From Oxford, Warren county, N. j.,
comes the story of Lewis Albert, an
engineer at the mines, says the New
York Herald, who, for the sake of a
goose's life, risked his own for fully
forty minutes on Friday in a daring
and sensational manner.
The goose got over the fence Of its
coop, tapped its wings, flew over the
opening of the shaft, when is 700 feet
deep, fell into the black hole and dis
appeared.
On the following day persons pass
ing the shaft heard sepulchral cries
proceeding from some su~bterraneous
source. Kemple heard sounds and
learned Of the goose's plight.
The old hosting apparatus was ex-
amined and found to be useless and
the problem arose as to how the bird
was to be rescued. One man lowered
a hook and line, to which was at
tached a worm, but the goose would
not bite.
Then Albert took a long rope and,
selecting a group Of miners, he babe
them lower him into the mine.
Albert got down about 200 feet and
a minute later there was a fierce honk-
ing, followed by a signal to pull up
quickly. Albert SOC appeared with
the struggling bird in his arms.

The Seed1ess Annie.

A Utah nurseryman reports in the
Country Gentleman that he has finally
gotten hold of specimens of the much
talked-about seedless apple, and he
says that the fruit is very inferior, and
certainly not such as would have n
ghost Of a chance of a showing In the
market with any of the standard va
rietles." 1t is evident that it Is the
same old seedless apple that was
known in Virginia a generation ago.
