HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
he Hopeful, Avoid Worry and See
the Amusing Side of Life.

the Amusing Side of Life.
Women more than men are possess
ed with dread of growing old, not
realizing that maturity has its charms
and compensations. We wish young
people oftener had it impressed upon
them that they may provide for hap
py old age by laying up reserve of
sound health and store of happy
memories as well as by cultivating
tastes and resources which will out
last youth. AS for those who are al
ready approaching middle age, there
is no surer way to grow old premature
ly than to dread the future. 1t is es-
sential, If we visa to keep young, to
cultivate chat hopeful habit of mind so
characteristic of youth-the hope which
makes one able to say with Browning,
"The best is yet to come" and with
Lucy Larcum, Every year life is lar
ger and deeper and more beautiful in
its possibilities" Allied with this at
ttude of expectancy must be the abil-
ity to see the amusing side of life.
Worry and veXation over what would
better be laughed at result in dlstigur-
ing wrinkles. Above all, if the years
bring us, as they should, a better un-
derstanding of ourselves, a broadening
of active human sympathies, firmer
faith in Providence, we shall find life
abundantly worth the living, no mat
ter what may be the number of our
irthdays.-Western Review.

CARDINAL PRINCIPLES.
Co-operr lion and Educational Work
Chief Among Grange Objects.

Cooperation Is a cardinal principle
Of grange work. Cooperation in be-
ing mutually helpful to one another In
the affairs Of life is grange teaching
and practice. Cooperation in selling
farm crops or in purchasing farm sup
plies has saved thousands of dollars to
members Of the Order. There are
many oranges throughout the United
States in which the combined pur-
chases for the farm and family will
run from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Saving is made in middlemen's com
missions and also in securing whole
sale prices on supplies purchased. A
notable feature Of grange cooperation
Is that of fire Insurance companies op-
Grated by and for members of the Or
der. New York state grange insurance
companies alone carry over $101,000,-
900 insurance on farmers property at
about one-half what 1t would cost in
old line companies. Grange stores,
when run on strict business principles,
have been found proitabl and there
are many such throughout the country.
While these financial benefits do ac-
crue to those who care to avail them
selves of the various methods of CO.
operation made possible by the grange
as farmers organization, greater and
more far reaching than these is the
educational work of the grange, not
only in developing the crude talent,
it may be, of its members and awaken
ing latent possibilitics. bat in the es-
tablishment of vigorous sricultural
sentiment in every community where
a grange exists. With the rapid ad-
vance made in this country IL manu-
featuring and commercial interests
there has been relative decline in
agricultural sentiment.

When seed corn is received in the
tar two or three kernels from each ear
should be removed and tested. Those
ears which show poor terminating
qualities can be rejected. On the other
hand, if shelled corn is purchased the
kernels from the ears of low vitality
or terminating power are mixed with
the others and cannot be separated
The result must necessarily be poor

AFTER HARVEST.
Importance of Saving Nitrogen In
n. lx.l


the Soil.
One thing we feel inclined to talk
about every year is the mistake of let
ting cornlields or other cultivated
ground remain bare through the fall
and winter. A considerable loss of
nitrogen results from this practice.
After the summer crop is taken off the
processes of n cation 20 on in the
SOIL especially il stable manure has
been used. Ntriiicatioh means the
process by which nitrogen Is made
soluble or available When made over
into this form II is quite easily wash
ed out of the soil and lost. When soil
Is left bare after harvest considerable
loss will occur in this way, but when
some living crop Is growing on the
ground this new crop will obtain most
of the nitrogen and save 1t for us.
This nitrogen problem Is the most I'M
portant thing on our FARMS. We must
buy 1t in one form or another, and II Is
constantly struggling to sct away from
us. 1t Is the part of good farming TO
capture anu save all we can. If moth
ing else can be done, SOW rye Oh all
bare lands. If you cannot plow, har-
row and seed. There are some excep
tions TO this. One Is where the sod Is
filed with white grubs. In that case
1t Is better not to seed. but to plow
and keep the surface well stirred
through fall and early in spring. The
constant cultivation is the best method
of fighting these insects.-Rural New
Yorker.

sauashes For Winter Use.

When gathered from the field
squashes should be placed in cool,
dry room and kept there until freezing
weather approaches. Then remove
them to what might be termed warm
and dry room. 1t Is difficult to keep
them during the entire winter without
more or less trouble from rot, yet such
varieties as the Hubbard and Turban
may be preserved for quite a long
period after harvesting.-Country Gen

The study of Medicine.

The study of medicine is the study
of man and of his relations to his en-
vironment. 1t is the broadest and
most useful of all the professions. A
skillful physician can find opportunity
for the employment of his highest skill
in hovel as well as in a palace. He
is alike welcomed by the king and by
the peasant The eXactions of the ply
sicans calling are more severe than
those Of any other profession. He
must be content to hold all his personal
plans for pleasure, profit or recreation
subject to the exigencies of many 9th
er lives as well as of his own, so that
his life must be less regular than that
of other men, He belongs to the social
fire department. He must often i'm
peril his health, even his life, to save
the health and lives of others. He
must be content with short life. But
all these disadvantages are induce
ments to the man who desires to live
up to the highest and noblest ideals.

best time to trim grape vines, as fol-

The best time to trim grapes Is early
winter. Days can then be selected that
are mild and the ground dry. 1t can
be done at any time before the vines
start in the spring. If trimmed after
the sap starts they may run or bleed
badly. Do not, however, omit the trim
ming if the work has been left so late
as the surplus wood left on the vine
would do far more damage than the
bleeding from one years trimming
When done in early winter the vine
should be cut free from the trellis, let
ting it fall to the ground or as near 1t
as it will, This is to prevent the break
ing of the vine or trellis by snow when
1t settles. If it should happen to be
deep or drift it also protects the vine
from extreme cold.
In places where there Is danger from
cold, few brush laid over the vines
when trimming add much to their safe

thing like straw or manure that may

ployed are failures in that they permit
too much foreign matter to be carried
into the cistern to decay and become
filthy.
So from knowledge gained from ac-
tual experience | decided that the
proper thing would be to keep the
dirt out of the cistern, where 1t can
be removed; to have a filter that can
be renewed easily and without dis
turbing the water in the cistern. So
| made an experiment which has
proved success. In digging els
tern dig deep in the ground and arch
well underground, closing in arch to
receive two foot sewer tile to form
neck. which can easily be closed
against insects and toads. BY the side
of the big clstern dig a little filtering
ciste"n, one that will hold from twelve
to fifteen barrels. Wall, arch and ce-
ment same as large cistern, except in
the center of the bottom, which should
be slightly basin shaped; dig and ce-
ment hole large enough and deep
enough to receive bucket that will
hold five or six gallons or more. Have
the bottom of the bucket perforated
with small holes. Have a strong bail
to the bucket by which to lift it out
Have strong flange around the out
side close to the top as can be to rest
tight on the bottom of filtering cistern
around the top Of the hole. Can make
water tight by resting flange on pack
ing. If bucket is not good and strong
it will be well to place rest under the
bottom, as there will be very heavy
pressure on it when the filtering els
tern Is full. From the bottom of the
hole under the bucket connect filter
with cijtern by means of three inch
sewer tile thoroughly cemented in.
Fill the bucket with pounded brick,
charcoal or slate packed in clean wash
ed sand; 1t can be made to run through
very slowly. thoroughly straining the
water. After packing bucket and be-
fore setting 1t In hole run water
through to wash all sediment out.
