MISSOURI SOIL
Plant Food Elements in u Single Average
Acre Worth More Than $4,000
by alter Williams.

The soil Of Missouri is the basis Of
the states wealth. The estimated
valuation of farm lands exclusive Of
buildings is SS50,000,00O, The only
states in which this valuation is ex.
celled are Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Penn.
sylvania and New York. The three
eastern states have gradually de.
creasing valuation, while in Missouri
the valuation is increasing, which
means that Illinois aud Iowa are the
only competitors for first place in the
immediate future. The chief factors
which make Missouri lands valuable
are their wide crop adaptations and
their high natural fertility. No state
is capable Of n wider crop adaptation
or a more diversified agriculture, and
the improved lands have potential
fertility that under proper manage
ment will hold her in the front rank OF
the states. The plant food elements
in an acre of average Missouri soil are
worth 100000, if valued at the
present market price OF these elements
as sold in fertilizers, and the problem
before the farmer is to preserve and
maintain this potential supply by a
judicious and rational system of farm.

a fertile soil is one that under nor.
NAL conditions is capable OF producing
maximum yields Of crops. In the
broadest sense fertile soil is one that
contains "A large quantity of all the

therefore, potential and an available

lies in 4 more careful rotation Of crops

A MEAN MANS THOUGHTS.

Sometimes we wonder what a
mean man thinks about when he
goes to bed; when he turns out the
light and lies down; when the
darkness closes in around him and
he is alone and compelled to be
honest with himself. And not a
bright thought, nor a generous
impulse, not manly act, not
word of blessing, not grateful
look, comes to bless him again.
Not a penny dropped into the out
stretched palm ofpoverty, nor the
balm OF loving word dropped in.

OF encouragement cast upon a

YOUNG MEN, BEWARE.

If you don't want women to out
strip you in the industrial race and
compel you to come to them when
you want fifty cents, you would
better stop drinking poor whiskey
and quit gambling at race tracks.
Women, in spite of mans refusal
to give them the rights and privi-
leges to which they are entitled,
are today in I45 branches of bust
ness and in instances showing
more ability than the men. In one

WORRY AND WORK.

Toll is healthful. Even exces-
sive labor can be long endured.
But worry is corrosive that
speedily eats out the nerves and
tissues Of life. He who frets about
his work burns life's candle at
both ends. 1t is the friction rath-
er than the revolution Of the wheels
that wears the machinery. He
who knowns how to do his level
best and leaye the result with God,
has learned one of the chief secrets
OF life. But he who is always
worrying about how things are
coming out is most foolish. Some
people constantly complain and
protest. They imagine that their
lot is SO much harder than that of
their neighbor They are always
regrctting that they did not do
things some other way. Such
persons will have nerves set on
edge, will have chronic indiges-
ton, gloomy disposition and a
diseased brain. Sunshine and
health are close friends. DO the
best you can and stew not. Work
hard. Work very hard. There is
much to do There is much that
no one can do as we'll as you. But
do not bear two burdens, both
work and worry. All the fretting
in the world will not change mat
ters, 1t will only render you un-
happy and unfit you for the largest
service. Mix all your burden
bearing with smiles and songs.

IN THE HonE NEST
Cheerful Evening Reveries for Tired
Mothers
TRUE STRENGTH OF MANHOOD.

Small boys often conceive the
false idea that it is manly to chew
tobacco, smoke and swear. Older
boys and young men are prone to
conclude that moral integrity and
religious purity are elements of
weakness whilst immortality and
inhdelity are evidences OF strength.
No greater fallacies ever entered
the human mind. Which is strong
er, the boy or young man who re-
sists temptation and does right,
or the one who yields and does
wrong? The one who resists the
inclination to indulge in strong
drink and lives a sober, useful life,
or the one who panders to appetite
and becomes miserable drunkard? ?
Which is the stronger, the one
who honors his Maker by keeping
himself pure in thought and word
and deed, or he who dishonors
God, detiling himself in mind and
speech and conduct? Who does
not know that it requires strength
OF purpose, of wiIl-power, Of mind,
to say to the tcmpter, "begone!'
and to resist the devil till he fees
away? Who does not know that
his evil deeds are the results of his
moral cowardice?
