Low AND HIGH PRICED LAND.

1t is worth noting that the high priced
lands of Illinois and other sections
of the west-land which sells for $50
and upward per acre-are almost inva-
riably worked with the cow. In fact,
there is no type of farming, save dairy
ing, which will keep up the fertility Of
such land and enable it to pay fair
interest on its valuation. There is a
lesson here worth needing by the own
ers of lower priced lands, for if mod
ern methods of dairying can be made
profitable on high priced land they GER
tainly can be applied with greater
profit to lower priced lands. The dairy
farm is always a productive farm, the
soil becomes more and more fertile and
all crops raised on it larger and more
profitable. Dairying is the one business
which will never be overdone i'm this
country and affords the surest and
safest way for man to improve his
farm and get on his feet financially.
If man has a poor farm and is in
debt we know of no better way for him
to get out of his trouble than to keep
all the cows he can take good care of
and raise as much poultry as possible.
Doing this, he will soon get rid of his
mortgage and double his crop yield.
Thousands of men have done and are
doing this very thing with almost uni
form success.

PREACHERS AND POOR PICKING.

PREACHERS AND POOR PICKING.
There are a great many pooc little
$500 preachers all over the country,
good men and true, who think they
have calls to the pulpit, but who exist
on the ragged edge of poverty all their
lives. These men should do something
for themselves and their families be-
sides just preaching, marrying folks
and burying them. AS they are usual
ly attached to country churches, the
best thing for them to do is to combine
little agriculture with their theolog-
ical work, learn how to work the soil
as well as how to interpret the divine
DEGREES. Many mighty good sermon
can be picked up in cOrnfeld, an
orchard or a garden. There is nothing
in any manner derogatory to religion
In mixing agriculture and theology.
One-half, and the biggest half, of the
living of the family of the country min
lister should and may easily be de-
rived from his cows, his hens, his gar
den, but too many of them depend upon
the free will offerings of Brother Jones
or Deacon Smith for a supply, and in
the giving Of these things to the parson
it sometimes happens that the good
brethren tlSnk they in some way ac-
quire a dispensation to do something
off color the next day. Every country
parson should be a farmer and
gardener in small way. 1t would be
good for his health, good for his fam
lily, good for his pocketboOk.

INSECT LIFE IN WINTER.

A 10y friend asks US what becomes
of all the insects during the winter.
He says that he notices that as soon
bugs, beetles, flies, gnats and moths
and all the creeping things disappear.
He will find this very interesting
study. If he will look closely he will
find that some forms of insect life per-
ish with the cold weather and are
propagated the next season by eggs
which they have left. Other kinds, and
this the larger part remain dormant
during the cold weather and may be
found alternating in all sorts of queer
places-in piles of rubbish and corn
stalks. under stones and boards, in
cracks, in crevices. while many bore
their way into the earth and remain
frozen up solid during the winter. 1t
is remarkable to notice the effect which
a rise in the temperature will have on
all forms of insect life. Let the mer-
curry 20 up to 80 degrees during an
early May day, and it seems to instan-
taneously release all forms Of dormant
insect lie. tHeS, bees, DuSS anu
worms of all sorts may be noted full
Of life and business. If our boy friend
will closely examine the apple trees
and, i'm fact, most any kind of tree
closely with a glass he will find clus-
tiers of eggs cemented to the bark or in
crevices of the wood which simply
form the foundation for future swarms
of insect life, and then If he will close
ly watch the few birds which spend the
northern winter with us, the chickadee
and the woodpeckers, he will find that
these clusters of eggs form the princi-
pal food Of these birds during the win
ter. If it were not for the valuable
work done by these birds during this
season of the year the fruit and grain
growing interests of the country would
simply be overwhelmed by horde of
insect pests. We do not know Of a
more interesting study for a bright boy
than this one, and he will be aston
ished il he takes 1t up at the large
number Of strange and curious facts
which he will discover
