Keep Humus in orchard Soil.
The soil of the orchard frequently
becomes exhausted without the owner
suspecting it. In many orchards the
grass is moved and made into hay.
This removes annually a certain
amount of humus from the ground. In
the meantime the trees themselves are
removing humus by their roots and
putting it into fruit and foliage. The
fruit is carted away, and the leaves
fall to the ground. These leaves do
not get back into the ground to form
humus, as they would in a state Of
nature, but are driven by the wind into
windrows, and then raked up and
burned by the orchardist, intent upon
improving the appearance of his or
chard, or of destroying the insects and
fungi that are on the leaves and twigs
mingled with them.

Green Food for Swine.
Don't feed all the unstable potatoes
and the pumpkins to the cows and
horses, but give the swine enough to
keep their appetites in good condition
Take a large pumpkin and divide it
equally into ten pieces; cut up each
piece until it is as large as ones hand
Then take two quarts of unstable po-
tatoes and a quart of bran. Mix the
lot, moisten it well with skim milk, and
give this quantity to each hog once a
day for month, and you'll see a de-
cided difference in the way they will
take on fat when you are ready to
put them in that condition for the fall
markets. AS we have said before in
this department, it pays to give the
swine variety as much as any of the
farm animals

YOUR TOWNPAPEP.

4 Do you appreciate and patronize your
home paper and say good word Tor II
to othersf The newspaper is the most
exacting business in the world, the
most trying in every way. 1t means
long hours and the greatest care in its
conduct. The newspaper has the entire
public to deal with. 1t is criticised on
every hand. 1t has to deal with all the
community, and to do this successfully,
requires judgment and patience. 1t
has power, and that power, to the
credit of journalism, is nearly always
welded for the public. No question of
vital concern to the people fails to find
. strong support from the paper, and
this, too, without remuneration. The
publisher spends his m ney to further
these projects, and the community
never gives thought to the matter of
cost to him. 1t is not paid out of the
public pocket. The newspaper wants
every concern to prosper. Why should
not this good be mutual? To make q
profit, the newspaper must have o liv.
ing rate for the paper and it's advertis.
ing space.

BE TOLERANT.

Be tolerant Don't misjudge a
man on a hasty glance at him or
by one expression, or a single act
he may do. That expression or
act may have run counter to your
idea or may have rubbed the fur
the wrong way, but be patient !;
that man may be guided by prin-
ciple, which judged in a long life
may be right, and which you may
finally agree to. Though his one
word or his one act may not have
been according to your notion, his
average words and acts might
tally with yours. Therefore, give
him a chance in your judgment.

STAND UP FOR YOUR TOWN

So long as a man lives in a town
he should stand up for it and give
loyal support to it's best interests
moral, social, religious, industrial
and material. Whenever be finds
himself out of sympathy with the
best people and the material in
terests of the town he should first
hold soder conference with him
self. If, after examining himself
thoroughly and conscientiously,
ne finds that he is dissatisfied with
his fellow citizens and is liable to
become grumbler and stumb-
ling block in the community. he
should then make up his mind to
hold his peace and be content to
occupy back seat, or move to
another town.-Albany Herald.

Letter to +. &. Gilbert, Marietta, Ga.
Dear Sir: 1t is great thing for a
merchant to have the exclusive sale lin
his region, of course) OF anything wanted
by everybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is: put the price up and
make big profit. The other way is: be
fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least
gallons and cssts leasts money house,
job, year, a lifetime-no matter how
you reckon your costs. except by the
gallon-Devoe is the best care taker
and costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part of
the cost of paint is putting it on. Less
gallons. less cost. DON'T forget that
another principal part OF economy is
long wear less gallons. less cost and
long wear.
1t is great thing to have the ex-
elusive sale of popular goods, Of goods
that make friends. of goods that enrich
both buyer and seller. Devoe is per-
haps only ten per cent better than one
or two others but ten is a plenty--it's
200 or 300 better than many.
There's many merchant who hasn't
fouud-out his goods. It doesn't take a
man long to find-out that Devoe is the
least-money paint and why, no matter
which side he is on.
Yours truly

ever see a garment washed without

wash his coat the other day without

done a very good job of it, too.
But l think that he could have
done better job if his wife could
have been there and applied the
ecessary beating with a battling

WRONG IDEA

there is more honor III reading law

alls and works in the machine
shop occupies lower position in
the world tnan the man who wears
a white shirt and patent leather
shoes every day. This is a great
blunder and has we fear turned
the heads of many young men. No
doubt good pillow boys have been
spoiled by young men imagining
that it was more honorable to
practice law or sell goods than to
turn over soil or shove the plane.
The blame is not always on the
young man.either, parents are often
to blame in this matter. They
let it out in early in the life of the
children that William and John
must select easy places in the
world. They must not have the
drudgery of farm life, and must
avoid the hard work of mechanic.
1t is a profession, a situation as a
salesman or book keeper. or some
calling for which he is wholly I'M
fitted. All work is honorable, il
it ia honest and right.
