the surface, but the main object TO
be accomplished is to pulverize. The
plow is the best pulverizing impie-
ment we have and unless the burrows
are properly turned, the full pulver-
lzlng benefit can not be secured.
The straighter the furrow the better
the work that is done. Whenever
you see a man who plows lurrow
so straight that one could shoot
bullet through it from one end to the
other, one may be assured that that
man is a good farmer. 1t is impos-
slble to do good work where the fur
row has the form of a snake trail.
Another point that great many
farmers overlook Is the Importance
OF alternating back and dead burrows.
There esome men who always seem
to be in Il hurry, and who evidently
think that by plowing the land in the
same direction every year, by piling
4 lot of sol up against the fences
and by increasing the depth of the
dead furrow, they can do more work.
This, however, is false impression
and only shows their short-sighted-
ness. Farmers Tribune.

Toward the Mirror.
1t is not always for the mere gratiti-

should attentively study our mirrors.
Socrates advised all young people to
look often in their looking glass to as
certain ii they Were good looking; that
if they We're so they might strive to
make their mental attainlnents CORE
spond, and II they We're not then they
might cndeavor by the superior nccom-
plishments of their minds To make up
for their personsl shortcomings.
This Is excellent al ice for vanity
possessed moderns, but it is improba-
bic that the high mental attitude of
Socrates is appreciated by them How
the elaborate toilet of totl;,y could lie
accomplished without the aid of the
mirror it is impossible to imagine. 1t
is popularity supposed that the mirror
is the womans pet possession. but man
is by no means averse to contemplate

WHY SHE COULDN'T FIND 1T.


Inquiry Into Early History of Ger
many Developed Puzzle.
In the state department, where q
falr knowledge of history is the one
requisite above others, information
concerning the earlier history of Ger
many was desired. The employee upon
whom this task of finding this devolved
is Il young woman who passed the civil
service examination with an Al grade.
She went to the bookshelves and looked
in that section where the historical
data of this country are kept.
That's funny" she murmured after
rummaging through the volume. Here
is Germany, but these books don't so
back far enough
After anotherdesultory search through
the volumes she came and stood beside
an elder woman whose early education,
though by no means as comprehensive
as that of today, consisted in learning
what she did learn well.
DO you know where the rest of Ger
many is?' the girl asked.
Its all there" was the answer.
But it can't be, because it doesn't
go back rs far as l want" The elder
woman looked at the slip Of paper In
the girls hand on which IL date prior
to the time of Frederick the Great was
written.
There was no Germany as early as
that" she said promptly.
Then how can l find it?' the girl
helplessly asked.
Look under Prussia. of course" the
elder woman answered.

Saving the Straw.

Formerly in the corn belt straw
vas regarded as useless surplus
only to be burned and hauled to
water. ways and dumped as waste.
While during recent years farmers
indicate that they are beginning to
appreciate the value of this form Of
roughage, yet there is still consider
able carelessness about methods of
handling. 1t is not uncommon to
find straw simply blown into heap
with q wind stacker and left there to
absorb whatever moisture heaven
may see fit to bes,ow. True it is that
the wind stacker has met with con-
demnation in certain localities, be-
cause of the manner in which it de-
posits straw-leaving it, as is often
claimed, in the best possible cond
ition to absorb moisture. Its place
has in some instances been taken by
the old-time carrier made to revolve
SO as to reduce handling to the min
imum.
Although we are free to acknow-
ledge that help at threshing time is
usually scarce, yet we are firmly Of
the opinion that it will pay the aver
age farmer to add two or three men
and put them on his straw stack.
While we sometimes think that stack
ing is lost art, especially stacking
straw. yet much can be done by three
or four lustling fellows if they are
given the right instruction, and es
pecially if they are under the tutel-
age of one who knows,
The one common anl important
principle of stacking is to keep the
center we'll tramped, while as far as
possible leave the outside three or
four feet untramped. If this isdone
when the stack settles, water will be
shed out instead of toward the center.
Someone may ask, of what val, Q
is the straw after one has gone TO
the trouble to save it properly any
more than to simply supply sufficient
bedding for farm animals? To this
we will say that under ordinary cir
cumstances enough bedding is not
used. Lack Of it contributes to the
discomfort of animals and also to the
wastefullness in manurial consti-
tuents. where the stack is located
near the yards it is often an excellent
plan to throw down the straw from
time to time and allow animals to
thoroughly tramp it and thus incor-
porate with it the liquid and sol d
manure. In this way yards may be
kept from being worked up into mud
and decided waste will be cut off.
In older countries it is not un-
common to find farmers employing
the old-fashioned cutting-box, which
is run with the same power that
drives the threshing machine, and
which cuts the straw and stores it in
a pile under cover. To the corn
belt farmer this may seem to be
going little too far, and yet, con-
| sidering how greatly it condenses
the straw pile and how convenient it
is for feeding and bedding, it would
not be surprising if a decade brought
this very system into the central
West. Homestead

Three Boys and a Clock.
,Erom Tho Landau Oai,v Nava

Three boys in a house were told
to go and take the exact time by a
clock in the town. The first lad
went, looked at the clock, came back
and said: ut is II o'clock" In after
life he became prosaic bookseller.
The second boy was more exact.
He said on returning that it was
three minutes past IL. He became a
doctor.
The third lad looked at the clock,
found out how long it had taken
him to walk back to the house, re-
turned to the clock, then added the
time of his walk to the time of the
clock and reported the result thus:
st is at this moment IL hours, 10
minutes and Is seconds" That boy
came to distinction as Helmholtz,

Fan Flowing Again.

We have recently called attention
to some of the reasons why it is
more profitable to plow s.ubble fields
during the month of August than to
plow latter in the season. A sub
scriber asks whether we would ad-
wise deep or shallow plowing if the
land is turned during this month.
Ii the soil permits there is no OBJ
lection to deep plowingin the fall of
the year. AS rule, if the land is
p!owed in the spring it is not adyis-
able to plow it too deep. This is
especially true in dry years. 1t does
not follow, however, that fall blowing
should always be deep. If the lard
has been plowed shallow fora number
of years and the sub-soil Immediately
below the bottom of the furrow slice
has become more or less hardened, it
is advisable to plow it a couple of
inches deeper and to continue this
for number of years. After that it
may again be advantageous to plow
the land a little shallower again.
1t never pays to turn too much
sub-soil to the surface at one time.
Deep plowing must come gradually.
Plow say one inch deeper every year
until the ground has been turned to
a sufficient depth. Wherever it is
desirable to increase the depth OF
plowing, the best time to do it is in
the fall. Don't be in too much of a
hurry when you get to plowing. BE
sure that every inch of ground is cut
and properly turned. A great many
farmers, but perhaps more particu.
larly those who are renting, take
pleasure in attempting to turn the
furrow a little wider than the plow
will cut. Whenever this is done the
soil is injured. The object of plow.
ing is not only to turn the weeds

EGGS AS FOOD.
Why They Are Valuable as Die
For the Sick

Why They Are Valuable as n Diet
For the Sick.
Eggs without doubt stand next to
milk in available food material for the
sick, as they are easily digested and alb
sorbed If raw or properly prepared.
Physiological chemists tell us that 81
per cent of the albumen and Oh per
cent of the fat are absorbed into the
blood stream. These same chemists
tell us that eggs are complete food
for all young mammals, as they con-
tain III correct proportion the tissue
building material, i'll form of albumcn
(white) and mineral NATTER in the
form of phosphorus, lime, potassium,
iron and sulphur; the heat and energy
material In the form of oil QaV in the
yolk, and large amount of pure wa
ter.
Owing to the lack of st;%ch and
sugar an egg cannot be called COM
plete food for the adult; hence bread,
rice or some other starchy food must
be served with eggs. To render the
food complete the sick must be fed
as children are-that is, with foods that
are easily and quickly digested and alb
sorbed, for the digestive organs are al
ways weak. Eggs therefore are among
the most valuable of foods for this pur-

The "Dual Tariff.

a tendencyto discard the wo, "reci-

word; more briefly, the Dual Tariff"
The dual tariff" is precisely that
plan wlich Germany, under the
name of maximum and minimum
tariff is turning against us. Other
Continental nations will presently
adopt it, The Chamberlainites ill
England powerfully advocate it in
their colonial preference"
A high tariff as a club to beat
trade enemies combined with lower

not be an ideal arrangement But
it is better far than the very heavy
club we carry now to beat off foreign
trade from every quarter indiscrimi-

Its the Rust.

The machine that lies idle is far
more liable to injury than the ma
chine that runs.
The idle machine gets rusty.
Air and dampness do more damage
than wear and tear. Let the ma
chine remain inactive awhile and the
coating formed by the corrosion soon
covers the bright metal and the parts
become stiff and cranky.
And what is true of machinery is
true of humanity.
For instance:
A man neglects the working parts
of his body. Normally these parts
should be exercised. He indulges
his members in idleness. Whatever
vitality and working force they may
have had when in continued use ne
glect causes the machinery to run
stillly. 1t is the rust.
Or
Amanmay neglect to exercise his
working brain forces. lie may have
ever so quick mind, but if he does
not use his mental machinery the rust
of idleness is soon over it.
Or
A man may neglect to use the
moral forces that are inhim. There
is a weakening somewhere. The
machine lets down. And soon the
parts are rusted.
And so of society or government
associations Of men for special pur.
poses.
Note this: When the primary o,
the convention or the ballot box
working parts of government-are
neglected the rust collects. The
machinery works poorly. 1t ma,
break down.
Keep your body working withou
friction by systematic exercise.
Keep your mind bright by using
it.
Keep yoursoul clean by working it
And as for society-nine-tenths o
its evils are caused by the idleness o
its necessary working parts.

Never permit yourself to make

Never commit the error of taking a

standards are never true, never just.
The estimates you make of yourself,
of others and Of the world while you
