Suspicion Brinfs Its Own Defeat.

A prominent author, who has trav-
eled around the world three times,
and made a useful study of human
nature, says: 1t is safe to call
suspicion a liar five times before
acting on its testimony. The object
of the suspicion, when innocent, sus-
fers far less, than the party enter
tanning the evil thought. Men en-
gagged in the detective service con-
tend that unframed suspicion u.s.
ually takes the wrong scent; does not
take time to follow the limited trail,
but adopts some other theory" The
majority of us are too apt to ques-
ton the motives of others, and in so
doing, men poison their minds to
their own detriment. Confidence is
strength. Suspicion is weakness
Again, it would seem men who are
over-distrustful meet with more fire.

A VESPER HYMN.

Jesus, thou hope Of human hearts, we
dare
To offer Thee our poor, imperfect prayer.
Take Thou our willingness to pray
Alright,
And call our wandering thoughts to
Thee tonight.
Stained with the sins that only Thou
dost know,
kneel We for pardon, Saviour, ere we
go.
Pardon and cleanse, and teach us all to
find
In Thee our peace-nor cast look be-
hind.
When morning dawns upon Thy sainted
day,
Strengthen our hearts to walk the Better
Way,
Till, with Thee living, we may with
Thee die,
And, dying with Thee, with Thee live,
on high.
Bless those at home, Thy youngest
children bless,
Soothe the long hours of pain or rest
fulness,
Give to the sad Thy own most perfect
And bid our little storms of discord
cease. -Lue II. Vernon.

POULTRY NOTES.

Make the roosts in the poultry
house where they will be free from
draft.
Clean and disinfect the poultry
house and yards frequently,
A dropping board under the roosts
is a great labor saver.
The feed pans and other utensils
used about the poultry house should
be washed and scalded occasionally.
Arrange the water and feed
troughs so that the fowls can not
get their feet into them. 1t is not
sanitary and is wasteful.
A variety of food is relished by the
hens as well as by people. Do not
you provide for your fowls wants?

very diminutive tree. The plant is
again watered, and, after a certain

the tree has considerably grown.
However, after several repetitions

found to bear fruit-very diminu-

There are many more tricks,

LARoR STRIKES EVEN IN JAPAN

LABOR STRIKES EVEN IN JAPAN
According to reports, Japan is con-
fronted with labor strikes. 1t would
seem the strikers are aggressive; do
not shrink from showing their teeth
to the ruling class. Modern machin-
cry and improved processes in pro-
duction have resulted in commodities
beyond the purchasing power of the
consuming class with the small wages
paid laborers, skilled and unskilled.
Indeed troubles are as widespread as
civilization. This far-off island en-
pire has reached the stage when it
must take the white mans bitters
with the sweets. There is no un-
mixed good in human affairs.

AGRICULTURAL Briefs.

For family use there is no necessity
of having six or seven varieties of a
s;ingl. kind of fruit Early, medium and
late Varieties may be used. but it is
better to have variety of kind
that is prolific and satisfactory than
to have the land occupied with several
varieties that seldom produce crops.
An insufficient supply of bees will
hinder the setting of fruit. While other
insects may take part in the carrying
of pollen, the fruit raiser must rely
chiefly upon honey bees. Experience
shows that, though bees may fly two
or three miles, hives should be with
in half a mile Of the orchard or small
fruit patch.
Farmers are frequently offered dis
ease-proof plants and trees, so-called,
but it may be safely claimed that no
variety of pear, peach, gooseberry,
cherry or other fruit is exempt from
disease peculiar to it's species. Some
varieties may not be so susceptible
to disease as others, but if in range
OF disease they will surely be attacked.

Hasten the MouIt,

1t is the common belief that the
poultry keeper can hasten the period
of moulting of the early-hatched birds
This is true, in measure, but in a
measure only. 1t is natural that late
Matched birds will moult late, and
early-hatched birds will mott early,
and when moulting is influenced at all
it cannot be for more than two or
three weeks.
When the bird is about five or six
months of age, the ~ormer date being
preferable, feed on light ration for
a week or two. If the bird is in the
habit of getting all it can eat in the
of the day in the houses or lots where
there is no feed. Fasting in this way
will start the mott. AS soon as the
melting is over and the new feathers
begin to start, the bird should be
given a ration which includes an
abundance of heterogeneous feed. Sun
flower seed, wheat bran and prepared
chick foods which are known to be
rich in nitrogen should be used. Sun
flower seed is the best of those named,
and if the farmer has supply of it
he need invest in no other similar
feed. Feed containing a goodly sup"
ply Of nitrogen rapidly assists in the
production of feathers, so the bird is
in full feather before winter sets in.
1t sometimes happens that birds
which are Matched very early in the
spring do not mott as early as they
should, and for such birds the above
suggestions will be found especially
beneficial.-Inland Farmer.

Kentucky Leads In Tobacco.

The agricultural department at
Washington has just published Stats
teal information regarding agricul-
tural matters in Kentucky and other
states, which shows that Kentucky
leads in tobacco, having twice the
acreage in that crop and several times
as large a crop as North Carolina,
her nearest competitor. The Ken
lucky acreage in tobacco in 1906 was
100000, and the average yield of to-
bacco per acre was $40 pounds. The
total production was 252,3OO 00o
pounds. The total production was
252, 100000 pounds, which brought an
average farm price on Dec. l last OF
TT cents, and an aggregate farm value
on the same date of $40, 427 100. This
was more than twice as much as the
value of Ohio tobacco, which was ST.
100000.

How TO HAVE WINTER PASTURE.
Plant Vetch During Months of August
and September.

The farmers of the south and mid.
die west can have winter pasture by
planting winter vetch in August and
september. By sowing 80 pounds to
the acre in the way cowpeas are sown
1t will afford fine pasture all fall,
winter and spring for all kinds of
STOCK, and In the spring the stock can
be taken off, and in plenty of time to
plant ordinary crops. From one to
three tons cured vetch hay can be
moved per acre, containing both grain
and forage, ahead of alfalfa; in fact,
equal pound for pound with wheat
bran by actual analysis.
There is no better soil improver
than vetch, and it will grow on any
soil and in any climate that will pro-
duce COW peas. 1t is an annual, but
when moved enough of the bottom
seed will be cured and will pop out to
reseed the land, and they will lie dor
mant all summer and again terminate
the following fall, and so on continu-
Ously.
The coolest weather does not in
jure vetch, and where wheat has been
cut and intended for corn next sason
is fine place to plant it. AS a soil
improver, winter pasture, and for hay
it cannot be beaten, and it grows when
other crops are out of the way, and
gets out of the way in time to plant
other crops on the same soil. The cul-
ture is most highly recommended by
the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington and by the leading experiment
station and thousands of farmers who
have tried it. The seeds are not ex
pensive, but seedsmen put on you old
seed which do not terminate very
well.

New Method of cuttino Steel

A new method of cutting steel is
said to have been patented by a Bel
gian engineer. The process consists
in first heating the metal by means of
an oxyhydrogen fame and then cut
ting it by small stream of oxygen
gas, which unites with the steel and
forms a fusible oxide, which flows
freely from the cut 1t is said that
the cut is fully as smooth as that
made by the saw, and is only HOO
inch wide.
