THE SUNDAY REST.

The quite generally accepted and rec
ognized practice employers, business
men and Workaday folks in general
have of observing the Sabbath as a
! day Of rest and recuperation without
] question traces its origin to the injunc-
| ton in the Hebrew decalogue, IRE
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy" Whatever may be our view as
| to the authority Of the Scripture mes
| sage and our recognition of the necessi-
! ty of obedience to the command as
/ given, experience convinees us that
there was a fundamental principle Of
/ physical life underlying the command
or it would not have been spoken. We
| like to think thai beneath every COM
mand Of God was an underlying rea-
son. why it should have been given,
| that work on the seventh day was
wrong not because and only when it
| had been prohibited, but that it was
prohibited because it violated a funda-
mental principle Of physical life, the
necessity for rest and change, and was
therefore wrong. In way of supporting
the view here presented it has been
proved by actual test in the life Of
more than one nation that work prose
cuted without periodic rest days and
covering considerable period Of time
has resulted IN decreasing the capacity
and economic efficiency of workmen so
employed, proving beyond question that
the man who works six days and rests
one can do more and better work than
his fellow who works during the seven
without any let up. While a violation
of the command to rest one day in sew
en- Is not often accompanied with i'm
mediate disastrous effects, there is lit
tie doubt that many cases of physical,
nervous and mental breakdown are
largely traceable to practical disre-
gard Of the above command a failure
to realize the health and nerve restor-
ing power of change and recreation.
The command given included, besides
the employer, the manservant, the
maidservant, the OK, the ass and the
stranger who might be within his
gates.

APPRAISERS NAMED
Justice McCarron Names Men to Assess
Value of the Stephenson Cows

The work of appraising the value of
the cows in the herd Of Isaac Stephen
son, which are to be killed by the
state on account of the fact that they
are affected with tuberculosis, was
started this morning. Late Thursday
afternoon Justice of the Peace G. B..
McCarron named the members of the
commission as follows: Matthias
Mungen, Matthias Stah1, and Fred
Gleichmann. This commission began
its work early this morning and it is
expected that it will take the entire
day to pass on the large number Of
cattle to be slaughtered.
In the meantime State Veterinarian
Roberts is making test Of other
animals in the herd. It is not thought
that the state will slaughter more
than seventy-five head from the farm.

We noted in a recent country drive
what may rightly be termed an in
stance of horticultural sacriIege some
fifty fine hard maple trees from every
one Of which four or five large limbs
had been cut during the month of
March, with the result that the life
blood Of the trees had been wantonfy
spilled, in some cases the dried sap
showing in three and four inch strips
all the way to the ground In some IN
stances limbs five inches through were
sawed off, the weight of them causing
them to break and split down before the
saw got through. Aside from practi-
cally running the looks of the trees,
which were symmetrical and for TWEEN
ty years past have furnished a wealth
of golden autumn glory, we doubt seri-
ously if many of them will survive the
treatment above described On the
supp0SitiOn that a certain amount Of
trimming was desirable, it should have
been done in any month in the whole
year rather than March, at which time
the sap flows most freely and pruning
is attended with the greatest loss of
vitality. Trimming Of all shade trees
is as rule best done after the leaves
are out, when the flow of sap is prac-
ideally over, but at a time when the
tree is making rapid growth and
wounds will heal quickly. When i is
necessary to cut off limbs of any size
the stub should be painted over with
two or three coats of paint 10 exclude
the moisture and air and prevent the
development of fungi. It is not our
aim in what has been said above to
discourage judicous pruning, but sim
ply to emphasize the necessity of doing
the work at the proper time.

1t is seldom that one who has al
ways had garden and enjoyed its
abundance of fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles realizes how large a part of the
family bill Of fare it furnishes or the
value of the products which are got
from it until he moves to a large city
or is otherwise so situated as to be
forced to rely entirely upon the grocer
or peddler. In addition to being com
PEELED to pay cash for what before cost
little or nothing, the quality and fresh
ness Of the store or peddled products
are usually much inferior to those got
from the home garden but an hour or
two before they are. prepared for the
table. A careful accounting of the diff
ferent items of household expense
would show the garden patch to be
credited with much larger amount
than we are wont to think.

Experiments made at the Cornell
university experiment station in or
charding several years ago proved
that it took more fertility from the soil
to produce twenty average crops Of
apples than to produce twenty average
crops Of wheat 1t will be readily seen
that in view of this fact not only
should no secondary crops be grown in
the. orchard which will rob the soil,
but that the trees should be heavily
fortified where possible It is this
pull of the trees on the fertility of the
soil that makes clover and alfalfa ideal
orchard crops.

Field beans often make a desirable
crop to plant on portions of the farm
which may be somewhat run down or
for one reason or another cannot be
got in shape in time for other crops.
The ground should be put in good con
dition and the beans drilled in with
the corn planter If the vines are not
of variety or the ground is not so
rich as to make to rank growth of
vine the field may be gone over with
the planter a second time, which will
leave the rows about a foot and ten
inches apart. If the field is planted in
this way the cultivating will have to
be done with fine toothed single
horse cultivator. The beans should be
planted about June l in latitude ~, the
late planting reducing the injury of the
weevil to practically nothing.

In behalf Of the good housewife we
wish to say that if the farm proprietor
has all the latest machinery and con-
yeniences for doing the outdoor work
he should see that she is provided in
as large a measure with labor saving
conveniences in doing the work Of the
household, handy supply of hard and
soft water, an abundance of dry wood
and kindling, ample cupboard room, a
first class cook stove with good draft
and other aids that contribute so much
in tightening the burden Of household
duties. You man there how is the wo-
man Of the house provided in these re-
spects? There is no equity in COM

you ride the gang plow or operate the

The health Of animals as well as that
Of human beings seems to be very ma
terially affected by a change of eli
mate and food conditions AS illus
trating this fact we note a number of
instances in which horses raised in the
upper Mississippi valley and badly af-
ficted with the heayes have been
quickly and permanently cured by re-
moval to North Dakota and the Cana
dian northwest. From what we can
learn of the matter this result seems
to be due in part to a difference in eli
matte condition and in part to a differ
ence in the quality of hay and grass,
that of the territory mentioned being
practically free from mustiness and
dust, which seriously aggravates if it
does not cause this ailment n horses.
A shipment of horses from the locality
in which the writer lives contained a
''heavey" horse, sound and good in
other respects, which was bought at
SIS and sold for twice that amount
after six weeks recuperation in
North Dakota.
