Presence of Mind.

Presence of mind is a quality
much talked Of. much honored and
little cultivated. Yet, like most
other good things in the world. it
requires cultivation to bring it to
any degree Of perfection, for in very
few cases is 1t a natural gift. Some
people there are doubtless to whom
it comes naturally aud by instinct
TO do she right things at the right
time and place, but they are few in
number. Then again. some people
are by nature cooler headed than
their neighbors aud do not shout or
otherwise become useless just when
their services are required. But
this quiet composure. though very
valuable. is not quite the same
thing as presence of mind. The
latter consists not only in having
your wits ready for use, but in
knowing how to use them and being
sufficiently calm and steady in mind
to remember and turn to account
that knowledge. From the earliest
possible age children should be
taught self control and the instinct
OF trying TO remedy any mistake or
accident they may encounter.

Barnyard manure is the most valu-
able form Of organic matter to add TO
soils, because it is rich as fertilizer.
For this reason the production and
proper care OF barnyard manure is
just as necessary in farming as the
growing of the staple crop. One of
the great needs of some important
agricultural sections is a great in
crease in live stock to produce man
urs and make possible the growing
OF greater variety OF crops. such
as are required in an intelligent
rotation.

James J. Hill. president Of the
Great Northern Railway, spoke re-
Gently Of the value of the small farm
10 the boy who does not know what
70 do. He said in part:
IF every idle boy in this country
would fit himself to make an ear OF
corn, just one ear of corn grow. or
Q single bushel OF potatoes. or a
bushel Of cats or rye. we would not
be able 10 find in all the country
cars enough to haul the product
away.
Every carshop in the country
would be run TO its utmost capacity
70 supply orders. II every idle
boy would set to work TO cultivate
just one acre Of now useless land,
the surface Of the land would look
like one immense garden, and no
other nation could compete with US
in food supply.
There is no work that can be
undertaken so important as the
right production of food supplies.
Strange as It may seem TO some. the
population Of the earth has not
enough food.
There is not enough produced,
and this problem is growing more
serious every year. Boys who do
not know what they should do can
undertake nothing better than bend
ing themselves and their brains to
small farm work. IL will pay.
Every railroad will encourage them.
Every business interest will. for no
