Man Not Born to Read.

Many of the commonest physical de
fects of civilized man are due to ar
imperfect adaptation of his body to
new conditions of life. Nearsighted
ness Is an example.
G. W. Saleeby, the English writer on
scientific subjects, says that all the
talk about the degeneration of the
human eye Is "undiluted nonsense"
The truth Is that IMAM was not born
to read" An instrument made for see
ing long distances is forced to accom-
modate itself to little marks and signs
on a piece of paper. Says DR.. Saleeby {:
"The eye which we have inherited
from our ancestors is one that Is used
without effort at long range, merely
containing within 1t an apparatus en-
muscular effort to be used at short
range"
The general need Of glasses arises
from the necessity In modern life of
the use of the eyes at short distances.
If the eye were naturally focused upon
near objects the advantage, as DIR.
Saleeby admits, would be great. How
ever, he continues, "If one started to
make list OF the bodily characters
of man which the amazing develop
ment of his intelligence has rendered
more or less appropriate to his needs
than originally one would require a
volume"

Don't let your infants look at bright
colored objects. Never allow them to
lie and stare into the sunshine, at the
gas, electric light or into the flame OF
a lamp, for It may strain the nerve of
sight and make the eyes weak for the
remainder Of their lives, declares a ply
slclan of n babies hospital.
Unfortunately most young children
are abnormally attracted by any bright
object such as red feather on a hat,
vivid green or yellow chair, or by
artificial or sunlight" he says, "and
they exert all their strength TO turn
their bodies so that the bright thing Is
within the range of vision
Knowing this, mothers should make
every effort to protect the eyes of babes
and make sure that the rooms where
they sleep or stay when awake have
no objects that will attract and hold the
interest Of the little one and perhaps
injure the optic nerves.
Always have the sunlight tempered
Put a shade over tny kind of artificial
light so that 1t vii not shine directly

Danish All Your Moods.

Kindly feeling may be cultivated and
this cultivation begins when the child
Is first taught TO be gentle In It's play
with companions, civil to servants re
spectful TO the aged and kind to help
less animals.
As the child grows from girlhood 70
wOmanhood this habit of courtesy and
thoughtfulness for others has become
part of her character-a part that will
tend TO the eternal youthful spirit II
the cares and the batteries of life are
met In the right way. The spoiled
woman Is never youthful She is in
variably selfish, and selfishness is
aging.
Sometimes we wonder why It is that
so many old persons become disagree
able. Sometimes 1t is Immature that
has made them old, says Home Chat
If you would keep young at heart, and
that means young outside, In spite of
the years, Danish petulant moods, com
bat lrritabllity. Remember; "This,
too, shall pass away Whatever II
may be that troubles you and you will
look back with wonder at the fact that
you allowed such circumstance to
annoy you.

rnect Of the NOW Ment LAW.

One highly important result Of the
new laws regulating the meat packing
business may already be seen In the
tendency to keep more stock. Il am
going to increase my herds little" a
leading farmer says; and the argn-
ments he uses are these: More pork,
beef and mutton will be eaten here
after Folks are satisfied now that the
packers will send out only good, pure
meat, and they Will use 1t freely. Some
one must grow the cattle to make this
meat We might as well all have
hand In It. Not that all should drop
everything else and put the eggs all
into the meat-growing basket; IL we did
that there would be big crash, but we
can keep more stock and make 1t pay.
And this Is a sensible view to take OF
the matter. 1t will mean better times
for farmers all over the country

When cultivating young corn It must
be done in manner to destroy all
weeds; hence shallow cultivation may
not answer as the weeds must be de-
stroyed by any method possible, rather
than to permit them In the corntield.
But after the corn Is we'll advanced 1t
may prove detrimental to run the Gull
tivator deep, as 1t then cuts many roots.
Root cutting has been tested and found
injurious. After the weeds are killed
the only work required is to keep about
an inch or two of the surface soil
loose, in order to conserve moisture, as
well as to put an end to any young
weeds that may be ready to start.

There Is nothing so cool as white
dress. In the old days when our grand
mothers favored white gowns they had
white stockings, as also with their
lowered delaine gowns, but these we
ignore. We have come back to their
white duck skirts, but even with these
we wisely prefer the champagne tinted
shoes and stockings to the pure white,
for there Is nothing so unbecoming TO
the foot as a white shoe. Black and
white is cool Of aspect and so are the
light fashionable blues, Wise people in
the hot months of summer invariably
adopt white gowns, realizing they are
as cool as anything else. Looking cool
makes one feel cooler.

When waist Is too large or too small
In the neck the alteration should be

How to Find scale insects.

Prof. Troop of the Indiana Expert
mental Station gives the following d.
rectlons In recent bulletin: In look
ing for the scale insect most persons
will pass it by unnoticed on account CT
its very small size. The female scale
is only one-twenty-fift of an inch in
diameter, while the male Is only about
half that size. The shape of the fe-
male is nearly circular, while the male
is more elongated. The female Is sharp
ly convex or conical In the center. This
last characteristic will help to distin-
guish 1t from many Of the other more
common species. It's color Is nearly
like the bark on which 1t is found An
other distinguishing character is found
In the reddish dlscoloration of the bark
Immediately surrounding the scale, ex-
tending through both the outer and in
ner bark. These characters will enable
one with an ordinary pocket magnify
ing glass to readily detect the presence
of the insect.

better Cultivation.

The farmer should endeavor 20 In
crease his proportion of wheat by bet
ter cultivation rather than by planting
more acres The latter method Is be-
ing adopted in other countries that have
the available area. Our people have an
immense area of wheat culture in for
eign lands to compete with, lands where
labor is cheap. Europe, except perhaps
In Russia and Roumania and India,
have dense populations and are less
dangerous competitors. European and
Aslatic Russia, Argentine and perhaps
before many years large areas of AT
RIGA will be In the market against Us.
We must diminish the cost of produc-
ton by improved methods.-Texas

Those who have raised beets for SUI
gar know the value Of the two yarl-
ties shown In the illustration. The
one on the right Is the famous Klein
Waenzelben sugar beet; the other the
Imperial. The first named Is largely
planted for sugar making, and they
are rich In sugar. The Imperial Is
also good sugar beet for sugar max
Ing In this item, however, attention
is called to these two sorts as being
especially valuable to raise for the win

the cow.
Being rich In sugar, they will sup

time give the needed amount of green
or succulent food so much needed by
cows during the winter. Neither va

Tho Disc Harrow.

Too much reliance Is placed on the
disc harrow as a substitute for the
pillow. There is no implement more use
full than the disc harrow In some lines,
but Its place is to cut up the sod and
render the soil fine after the land has
been plowed though farmers frequent
stubble land, leaving out plowing al
together. There is something more In
blowing than simply loosening the
ground for seed. When land Is proper
ly plowed 1t holds more moistures, abb
serbs warmth rapidly and permits of
greater feeding capacity for plants.

Covpeas ns orcbard cover,

Growers Of peaches are using cow
peas as cover crops in the orchard. The
vines shade the land, and may be turn
ed under when the pods are nearly ripe,
or may remain as a mulch in winter. 1t
is more profitable to use the vines for
food for cattle, but, at the same time,
If a mulch Is required, it is well to
grow the mulch, especially when a
leguminous plant answers so well. One
advantage in growing the cowpea is
that 1t is almost a sure crop, and lime
or wood ashes may be used as fer
tillzer with it. The peach orchard will
in no manner be injured by growing the
cowpea as long as the land is given
the benefit of the crop by blowing the
plants under.

The news comes by way of Chicago
that exclusive" women no longer wear
light-colored, pink, blue or mauve wells.
The veil must be a sober gray, a tan
or brown, and only the darkest blues
or green's are permissible, and these
only ia the hottest weather. All the
same the llght-colored wells are very
pretty, and women will give them up
with much regret; but of course the
dictates Of fashion must be obeyed, and
this is now taken to mean that the

Thinning Apples,

The effort to produce the seeds of
apples exhausts the tree more than to
produce the much larger quantity of
meat, because seeds contain a much
larger proportion of the mineral ele-
ments. AS much meat (or pulp can be
grown on 800 fine, large apple trees as
upon 1000 small, inferior ones, but the
production of seeds will only be one
half as great. This thinning" not only
adds to the value Of the present crop,
but economies the energies Of the tree
for future use.
