That arrangement Of a fellows du-
ties is by all odds best where he drives
his work and is not driven by it.
| A pasture lot full Of bull thistles is
| simply plea to the owner Of the farm
| on which they are located for invest
ment in flock Of sheep.
An almost ideal condition of land
tenure would be that under which
each family could have as much land
as it could care for properly without
outside help.
Dampness, filth and lice are the
three greatest enemies of successful
poultry raising. With these conditions
eliminated the person Of ordinary in
telligence has little cause for worry.
Free denatured alcohol not only
gives promise Of putting an end to
unreasonable prices for kerosene and
gasoline, but will also do away with
twenty cent potatoes and corn. Not
only it's actual but it's potential effects
will be beneficial
AS showing that the American way
is catching in more fields than one we
noted lately that an irrigation ditch
has recently been dug OH the island OF
Hawaii which is fourteen miles long
and furnishes 100000 gallons of wa
ter daily to fertile yet semiarid por-
tons Of the island
While from now on some articles Of
food may cost more, the consumer will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
he is getting what he has paid for; that
his coffee isn't chicory, brown paper or
clay; that his strip isn't a glucose or
corncob connecticut that his mustard
isn't more than half starch and his
pepper plain dirt
1t is stated on good authority that
many fruit and berry producing plants
are not only protected, but also that
the supply is maintained on account Of
the bright color of fruit, it being held
that the birds are attracted by the
bright colors, and they not only help
to destroy noXious insects, but also dis
seminate the seed
If any Of the readers of these notes
are planning to put down cement
walks it will be we'll to keep the mix
ing box for the cement from under de-
sirable shade trees. We have noticed
a number Of such trees this season
whose lower limbs have been seri-
ously scorched by the fumes arising
from the box beneath
When only small quantities of milk

used, it is very essential to cool the
milk in cold water before putting
away for the cream to rise. The rea-
son for this is that the bacteria in the
milk multiply very rapidly unless the
temperature of the milk is lowered
quickly, and the milk is less apt to
keep sweet as long as it would other
wise
What is more unsightly than a gar
den where the remains of the lettuce,
radishes, peas and beans and other
early vegetables which have been con-
sumed are left to grow up with weeds
The land should be thoroughly cleared
| of everything and sowed to turnips or
some other early maturing crop. A
good manager can work his land to
his profit the same as his hired help
and yet reduce neither to the point Of
exhaustion.
What is more pitiful than neglected
old age? People don't change in min
ute or an hour, and unless they are
utterly helpless they are going to re
tain some of the ideas and ways of
their more active days. Habits chain
is strong. 1t is easy in these busy,
tired days to be careless in ones per-
sonal appearance and dress, but 1t is
| worth while to do the best you can, for
| loose, slouchy habits are wonderfully
easy to fall into and just as hard to

AID inspection Of the different crop
totals and averages covering a period
| Of years forces the conviction that
there must be a woeful amount OF
| shoddy, shabby, slipshod farming to ac-
/, count for the amazingly low averages
| that are credited to the different crop

is a big niger in the agricultural
woodpile, and it is with view of get
