They were playing quiet rubber of

cards. One of the players was an old
timer, a card player of years of eX-
perience, and he took up the old worn

not?" Superstition" was the answer.
Burn pack of cards and they'll never
give you another hand and will mock
you to the last. They're bad enough
at best, but you never saw a gambler
curse the cards or abuse them or burn
them or otherwise i'll treat them. He
doesn't dare to. know a successful
card player who did it. He was dwell

where Beecher Got His Sermons.

Wherever he went Beecher continued
his study of life through observation.
Nothing else was half so interesting.
To him man was the greatest study In
the world. To read human nature, to
place the right values upon men, to
emphasize the right thing in them, to
be able to discriminate between the
genuine and the false, to be able to
pierce their masks and read the real
man or woman behind them, was an
accomplishment which he regarded as
one of a clergyman's greatest weapons
Like Professor Agassiz, who could
see wonders in the scale Of fish or
grain of sand, Beecher also had an eye
like the glass of a microscope, which
reveals marvels Of beauty in the dross
and common things. 1t had magn!-
flying power which sees the miraculous
and beautiful in the commonplace. He
could see beauty and harmony where
others only saw ugliness and discord,
because he read the hidden meaning in
things Like Ruskin, he could see the
marvellous philosophy. the Divine plan,
In the lowliest object. He could feel
the Divine presence in all created
things.-Orison SWEET Marden in Sue.

He could not resist the opportunity OF
mystifylng his nelghbors, a lady and
her daughter from Sussex. When the
bishops appeared in their state attire,
wearing scarlet and lawn sleeves over

"These are not gentlemen. They are
ladies', elderly ladies-the dowage'
peeresses in their own right.
When the speaker of the house Of
commons appeared and attracted at
tention by the rich embroidery of his
robes. the lady inquired;
"Pray. sir. who is that fine looking

Select Seed Wheat.

The small grain farmers of many
black land counties lost a valuable
wheat and oat crop this season be.
cause of weather damage in the shock.
Many feel discouraged and will plant
less wheat than last fall. This is not
the time to quit wheat. There cannot
be surplus of wheat on the worlds
market at the end of one year. Plant
more wheat Select clean, full ber-
ries for planting.
Seed wheat should weigh at least
sixty pounds per bushel. SiXty-two
pounds is better. After passing fifty
eight pounds per bushel seed wheat
will yield two more bushels per acre
for every additional pound on land
capable Of growing sixteen bushels.
This is matter of test. 1t cannot be
successfully denied. Grain growers
should be especially careful In this
matter just now. The wheat raisers
of Oklahoma have formed numerous
associations to bring in good seed

SOME OF THE LEGUMES.
COwpea, Soy Beans and Hairy Vetch
In the North.

IN the North.
By C. D. SMITH, Michigan.
Among the varieties of cowpeas these
are recommended for such Michigan
farmers as need them to plow under to
enrich the soil in nitrogen: The Iron,
the New Era, Whippoorwill and Black
eye. They must be planted late in the
spring, when the ground is fairly
warm, as they do not grow well in cool
weather. They do not develop ripe
SEED except i'll unusually warm sea-
sons, with frosts late in the fall.
Soy beans are now grown in all parts
OF Michigan. The tests discriminate
between varieties designed to produce
abundant forage and those bred to pro.
duce abundant seed. OF the former the
medium green, early black and yellow
are leading sorts. OF the latter the
Ogemau, the rather small Ito San and
government 9413 are good types The
plots were too small to make the ex-
periments, comparing varieties, of
great weight
The hairy vetch has been grown at
the station for good many years. 1t
has been used as a green manure an
as a forage crop. 1t has not been a
success in the latter capacity. Sheep
We're hurdled on the vetch, but would
not eat it. 1t was then tried as soil
Ing crop, but neither cattle nor sheep
seem fond of it. 1t was cured as hay,
but again the stock refused it.
Varieties of Vetch.
There are sold in the markets q great
many species of vetch seed under the
name of winter vetch, hairy vetch or
villOus vetch. The results of com.
parative trials of these vetches at the
station show that at least eight of
them produce but a small amount of
green forage although they ripen
abundant seed. OF these the Vicia pic
ia was a fair sample, Towering in
early July and fruiting in the middle
of August.
On the other hand the V. canadensis,
angustifolia and peregrina were three
vetches that yielded abundant foliage
and fewer seed. " disperma showed
relatively few seeds, but a great guam
tity of matted leaves and stems, sup
plying dense mass of succulent green.
Finally the biennis, the Louisiana
yetch, the gerardii and globosa have
snowy red or blue flowers and furnish
a tangled and heavy mass Of green
forage. The horse bean, as the V. faba
is generally called, is totally unsuited
to Michigan climate, although of great
value in England.
Farmers are warned that the vetch
has become weed difficult to extermi-
nate on the college farm and elsewhere.

SOFT CHEESES.
Dairy Experts Tell of Growing
Market For Them.

Dairy Experts Tell of Growing
Market For Them.
An indication of the growing popu,
larity of soft cheeses Is the large de-
mand for the varieties sold under vari.
GUS brands as Neufchatel and cream
cheese. The basis for most of these
Is the common cottage" or Dutch"
cheese, and many of them are merely
sweet or sour curd put in an attractive
and appetizing form. The manufacture
Of these varieties is comparatively sim
pie with practically no danger of loss.
They are sold and eaten when fresh.
Further, they will yield larger
amount of salable cheese from the
same quantity of milk than other vari-
cites, and they bring prices almost as
high as the best imported cheese.
Very naturally these cheeses form
the basis of Il profitable industry. But
here, too, we find that the common
American product is different from the
cheese in Europe going under the same
name The Neufchatel cheese Of Eu-
rope is a'ripened cheese, but the cheese
going by this name in the United
States is usually unripened curd with
an attractive wrapping. Some of these
American products, however, are high
ly favored and compete favorably with
certain ripened types that are import
ed. All Of them command far higher
price than the ordinary hard cheese.
High Profit In Soft Cheese.
1t is certain, therefore, that there Is
an established and rapidly growing
market for the best types of soft
cheese. The profit in the manufacture
of the hard types of cheese is exceed.
ingly small both to the factory and to
the producer Of milk, but the prices of
the highest class of soft cheese 40
cents or more per pound are so much
higher than the prices of the hard
cheeses that the Introduction of their
manufacture should be a great benefit
to the dairymen.
The fact that soft cheese will not
keep very long gives an especial adj
vantage to the domestic over the for
eign producers If the products can be
made of equal merit. For such perish
able products there is great advan-
tage in an intimate relation between
the maker and the consumer.
Factories near enough to large city
to supply the demand with cheese al
ways ripened to exactly the prime con-
dition should easily be able to control
their home market if they can once
control their product. 1t seems posi-
BILE that there will be an advantage
nearer the small cities, at least, in their
production by individual dalrymen
who could dispose of their own product

Quality In the Potato.

The quality of potatoes is the subject
Of interesting tests by the New York
experiment station. There is reason to
believe that good quality is developed
in a soil temperature of 65 degrees to
rs degrees, and the tubers growing
from one and two to five inches below
the surface are subject to these con-
ditions. Great fiuctuation in the soil
temperature, is detrimental to the best
development Of potatoes, and tubers
growing too near the surface are sub
ject to this fluctuation. A too low tenn
perature also Injuries the development
of ripening, and the soil texture prob
ably has something to do with ripen-
ing and flavor; hence if potatoes are
planted shallower than three inches or
deeper than six inches the conditions
are unfayorable
