wisest conclusion. Retrenchment is
often advisable, and superfuities may
be cut off, but hard times are made
harder when those who can afford to
do otherwise reduce their expenses
simply bcause the spirit of economy is
in the air. Economy in its root mean
:ag signifies government and success
full management, not merely the re-
duction to the minimum of every cent
expended. The woman who in lavish
times runs her house On lavish lines,
should not be suddenly meagre be-
cause her neighbors have to be, her
own exchequer having suffered no re-
duction. It is no credit to her to wear
old clothes when she can, afford new
ones, thus limiting the revenues of
the dressmaker and the milliner, nor
to set her servants adrift while she
can as we'll as ever before keep them
and pay them wages. People who
begin their economy, so to speak, at
the church door, curtailing their do
nations, taking sittings instead of
pew and halving their contributions
instead of doubling them. almost

SUGAR IN CORN.

Sugar is one of the most elusive Of
products. 1t is we'll known that the
sun is the great sugar producer and
that couple Of cloudy days will ac-
tually drive large proportion of
sugar beet's sugar down into ttr
ground Then more sunshine will lift
it up again.
The effect of environment upon the
content Of sugar in Indian sweet corn
has been studied by the Department
of, Agriculture. The almost universal
use of sweet corn for food throughout
the country renders such an inyesti-
cation Of peculiar interest to consum-
ers as we'll as to producers. A single
variety of seed was planted in differ
eat localities from South Carolina to
Maine, and the quantity Of sugar in
the product was carefully determined.
at the same time weather data were
secured which are utilized in deter
mining the effect OF environment in
all Of its factors upon the composition
of the product. 1t was found that
within twenty-four hours after har-
vest, if exposed to ordinary tempera-
lures, q very considerable percentage
of the sugar had disappeared from
the grains of the corn. This fact has
led to the observation that 1t is nee.
essary to market the product as soon
rs possible after harvest, and mean-l
while to keep it at as low tempera-
ture as can be secured.

.The poor lad," he thought; hes
too young to lose his chaIce of life."
He began to do things for tho
others, to keep account of the hours
for medicine, and pin it to each rouga
headboard. He made cruel, heated
milk and fixed the fire. The doctor
began to depend on him. "I'm good
for something, after all, the old man
would say, land perhaps the Lord
sent the rheumatic to just get me
here"
The day before Thanksgiving there
was a sound of strong steps on the
porch, and the door flew breezily
open. A big six-footer stood there
his presence seeming to fill the dingy
space. - ~: =; .17alT: = .%.
Here you are, Uncle jerry" he
called, "5ut you needn't think Johnny
Simmons is going to let you stay in
an old place like this. I've Just got

hot on the ranch. Where's your
traps? I'm going to take you home
for Thanksgiving"
The old man was clinging to the
lads hand, his face shining with Joy.

went on, "l'ye rented the Bruce place
and you are going to live with me.
It's first-rate quarters-big fireplace

cook. The man that nursed me
through the smallpox sha'n't stay in

around.
You're real kind, Johnny, and I'd
like to bide with you; but shouldn't
be no count to you, laddie, just set

Then I'll speak for ride.
All right; watch out for me-"
The old man turned into the house
yard. Martha was going down cellar
with a big tray Of unworked butter
in her hands. Uncle Jerry went into
his room, small place off of the
woodshed. He looked around the
meagre space as he had looked at
the tule.
There were the walls covered with
pictures cut from papers. He and
Johnny had fixed them, one rainy day,
wh+l the lad was ten years old.
There was his comfortable bed, his
table and chair, the one place he
could call his own.
He drew out his old leather trunk
and put his clothes. into 1t; then ne
painfully did up his feather bed and
made his blankets into bundle. He
stole out and peered down the cellar
ray. Martha was still molding but

He hurried back and stealthily car
ried his possessions out into the ditch
by the roadside. The neighbor came
by and they started for towR.

hospital.
"Whew, Uncle Jerry! how's that?"
Rheumatic, Henry; It's come
again. Fcan,t bother Marthy, so I'm
coming up here and doctor spell.
The warden showed him into a
long, low room, full OF beds. 1t
seemed to be the sitting room, too.
Half dozen convalescents were
huddled round the stove, and from
distant corner distressed breathing
told of a very sick man.
1t was a poor place; there were no
nurses; cid men loafing there through
the winter on pleas Of illness helped
wait OF the helpless patients; the
Others did for one another.
Unche Jerry was very homesick.
He was seldom out of pain, and 1t
hurt him to see how little chance to
get we'll the poor fellows had. The
doctors orders were often disre-
garded, or carelessly fulfilled.
One young boy was very sick with
the pneumonia in the bed next to him.
Uncle Jerry took to nursing him.

AS he stood there he thought of the
long summer days when he watched
the sheep feeding far out on the tule,
of the mirage low in the sky, the sour
rying of rabbits and the fight of
blackbirds. Then Of winter nights,
when the green tule was raging sea,

levee and the vigilance Of the
watchers. This had been his life, and

the men will stay away t. we give

the same grade OF cake as formerly
and make the coffee after the same
recipe, for economy's sake cutting
the cake thinner and pouring the
coffee into smaller cups?" This was
the suggestion of woman who had
long been social engineer in church
matters.
The Ladies' Aid Society of Centre
vile had for years done much Of the
self-denying work that is part Of the
province of women in most of our
churches. When the church needed
new carpet or cushions or renovation
inside or out, when floating debt
was to be raised or mortgage de-
creased, the women went to work
with a will, had fairs and bazaars,
suppers and concerts, and in one way
or another managed to augment the
treasury by goodly sums of money
Centreyille was famous for notable
housekeepers and good home cooking,
but when the periodical return Of
hard times swept the land over like a
chilling frost, the reed of frugality
sternly impressed on the poor man
closed down with iron hold on the
censciences and impulses of the richer
neighbor who Just then should have
been spending instead of saving
money.
Mrs. Foster Albright, WHO had pro-
posed oNe-egg cake and weak coffee
as suitable refreshments in a hard
times year, and whose will and infu-
ence were usually paramount In the
counsels Of the sisterhood, was a
woman of large wealth and an income
SO safely bestowed by the eorethought
OF her deceased father and the sagac-
ity of her husband. that she ought
always to have been distinguished by
an open hand, yet this year of all
years she had set an exa nple o? scant
expenditure all along the line. She

was that where sacrifices must be

GRIT AND GREEN FOOD.

Three items commonly neglected
are sharp grit, enough green food
and plenty Of meat food. After,a few
years poultry yard becomes bare Of
good grit material as we'll as of green
food and the fowls need more atten-
ton in those particulars than at first.
The meat part of the ration is doled
out by some people as if it were
kind of medicine instead OF food.
The best way is to keep meat scraps
on hand all the time in meat hop
per, allowing the birds to eat all they
care for. 1t is a rather expensive part
of the food, but returns more growth
and eggs for the money expended
than any other one item. 1t is hope
less to try to get much OF an egg rec
ord, especially in fall and winter.
without feeding plenty of meat and
milk.-Farmers' Home Journal.
INGREDIENTS OF FERTILIZERS.
Three substances must enter into
any complete fertilizer: (1) Nitro
gen, which forces quick. succulent
growth, and is, therefore, valuable for
vegetable crops; (2) potash, which
gives rich flavor, and should never be
omitted by the home gardener; 60
Dhosphoric acid, which makes the
fiber of the plant, and is necessary in
all crops that are to endure over the
season. High grade fertilizers have
these elements in the following pro-
portions: Nitrogen, ten to fourteen
per cent; potash, forty to fifty per
cent; phosphoric acid, twenty per
cent.
When buying brand look only
at the figures referring to these three
items-all others are reiterations and
OF no service whatever.
The ideal all-round fertilizer for
lasting effect is one having the ratio
of nitrogen, two; phosphoric acid,
four; potash, five. This can be mod
ified according to ones desires and
the crop to be grown. For instance,
In the early spring, for growing spin
ach, nitrate of soda, which gives nj
trogen only, is perfectly satisfactory
on most soils, so that there would be
no need of giving extra potash or
