Letter to Young People.

AS I have passed some 50 mile
posts in life's journey and have been
close observer, there are number
of ideas I can present to you which
will be beneficial.
Read more and dance less" Is the
subject to be discussed. Boys and
girls, life is what we make It. How
nice 1t Is to be conversant on the
various topics of the day How
nice 1t Is to be acquainted with his
tory, that when any question arises
we can discuss 1t intelligently. How
embarrassing 1t Is when some one
touches subject to know nothing
of it, and be compelled to confess
ignorance by answering don't
know" The only way to know Is to
read. Reading introduces and pro-
sents you to the whole world, and
enables you to converse with people
Of all classes.
Dancing narrows you down to few
friends and associates, and affords
only momentary pleasure. We old
err people admit 1t Is very nice and
pleasant to join in whirl with your
best girl, but what foundation are
we laying for future enjoyment when
we do it, when 1t is all over? The
dancing period is past, and the dance
has but few charms for US. What
have we gained from the little we
know of dancing? We can answer:
90! the fun we had" That Is prae-
tically all there is to 1t. The reader
at this stage of life begins to take
more pleasure, has foundation laid
for life of pleasure, because Of the
use he has for the knowledge gained
"a life's blessing. All the more so
because of the sphere he now enters
into of usefulness by reason OF his
acquired knowledge. Look ahead,
young folks, to later pleasures and
not SO much to present fun.
Abraham Lincoln achieved all his
greatness by reading and acquiring
knowledge, and the practical use he
made Of it. II you would be a LIN
coin do as Lincoln did--spend more
of your time reading.
Reading is the road to greatness.
Dancing impairs your health. The
pleasure of reading will last ill.,
time, that Of dancing is only momen-
tary. Reading educates the head and
makes a brainy man Of you; dane
ing trains only the feet and makes
languid and limping limbs for You.
Reading shows good taste and breed
ing; dancing is only recreation and
sometimes damnation. .5,
Here are two masters. Choose
ye which one ye shall serve.

on the fiat where 1t is easy to 90 down
to the stream and water his saddle
horse and dip up water for use In the
house. He turns his saddle horses
in the field at nights until cold wealth
or comes. and by that time has pro-
vided a hay stack and shed or log
stable for the animals. 1t Is 400 feet
between the two buildings, but he
does not mind the walk much and
gets accustomed to 1t.
In time he takes a notion that eggs
are worth while, and he gets some
chickens, adding room to one end
of the stable for the fowls. and they
live in and about the stable, laying
the eggs In the hangers.
When he concludes to raise a pig
or two, he builds the pig pen at the
edge of the creek or slough, 80 that
the pigs can water themselves II they
get thirsty while he is gone on long
rides on the range.
One winter night when he attends
a dance in the school house down the
country, Cupid overtakes him, and in
due time lady inhabits the premises
we have described. AS they grow old
er together, they follow the example
of Adam, and do some farming and
gardening in connection with rails
ing cattle or horses on a large scale
and chickens and pigs on small
scale. The pig pens remain where
they are but become more substan-
tial and more filthy from year to
wear. The stable is enlarged by the
addition of COW stable, and hay
corral with good strong pannels Is
made about the front of the stable,
and he has to go around and climb
over the fence to feed a horse. he
grows accustomed to this inconVen-
fence, the same as he did to the dis
lance between house and stable. He
farms more now and rides the range
less, so he makes more trips between

KILLING OF FRUIT TREES.
How Care Can In a Measure Control
the Loss.

The limbs OF the fruit trees are
much more liable 10 winter killing
than are the roots. Yet many amateur
growers make quite a point Of protect
ing the roots by mulching without
giving any attention TO the proper pro-
lection Of the parts above ground.
OF course the limbs cannot be cared
for and protected against the rigors OF
winter in any way comparable TO the
means employed In guarding the
roots.
About all that can be-and under
ordinary conditions all that needs do
ing. says the Indiana Farmers 20

before winter sets in. This can best
be accomplished by an orchard clean
and thorough cultivation early In the

growth Of new wood at that time. FOL.

tions for winter killing. OF course.

A dry winter is another dangerous
proposition for the orchardist. Con-
trary to the common idea, there is a
considerable movement OF sap during
the entire winter. At the same time
it is known that a certain minimum
amount Of moisture is required by all
woody tissue 10 It IN a normal state
Of health. Reduce this amount OF
water and the plant cells shrink TO
such an extent that they die. This is
just what dry winter may do, espe
cially If the ground is frozen TO a great
depth
The movement Of moisture from the
roots as a result Of the deep freezing
is necessarily slow. while the evapora-
ton Tor more properly. the respira.

branches Is relatively much greater
The result Is that the cells shrink
to the point that causes their death
