the trade of making, mending and
tapping, resoling and patching shoes
better than he. His conversation took

what the subject might be. One even

''What did you make of all he said
about the cause O. wet weather when
he'd spoken so light Of the moon hav-

Hiram the next day.
Mr.. Pool held up the boot he was
mending and squinted at the sole of it.
His talk needed waxing" said the
shoemaker dryly when his inspection
Of the boot was finished. "But what

They yield on an average 1850 pounds
of milk a year. which makes the an

OF this milk a little more than one
half is consumed in making butter,

A short time ago a Wisconsin farmer
had his herd of dairy cows infected
with a serious contagious disease as a
result Of importing from distance
cattle which were contaminated, fact
he was not aware of until several
months had elapsed. Too great care
can hardly be exercised in this mat

One Of the live problems which will
come up this winter for earnest discus
sion by those who are interested in
conservation of our forest resources is
some more effective method of prevent
ing and controlling the spread of forest
fires, which have left hundreds Of
thousands of acres of forest lands bare
and black and thousands Of people pen
niless and homeless. The federal gov
ernment has in force an effective sys-
tenn Of patrols, and it would seem ex-
pedient if the same oversight could be
extended to embrace all forest areas.

Some one has said that genius is one
tenth inspiration and nine-tenths per-
spiration. This is doubtless over
drawn, yet expresses truth that is
quite often overlooked in our judg-
ments in cases of success and failure.
Inquiry into the careers Of men who
have been successful in their callings
shows that luck and chance play an
insignificant part, while energy and
application have been most important
factors.

Before long it will be time to cover
the tender things for winter, including
the rosebushes, pansies and other
plants that may be left out Of doors.
In doing this the important thing to
remember is not that the covering is
put on to keep things warm so much
as to furnish shade from the rays Of
the sun to prevent the alternate thaw-
ing and freezing which are bound to
take place in the varying tempera-
lures of the winter months. For the
rosebushes nothing is better than lay
ing them down and covering them
with boards or an old door. If these
are not available, cornstalks. leaves OF
other coarse litter will do. The finer
L is the greater is the likelihood that
1t may become harbor for mice,
which may girdle the bushes If they
get very hungry. While the pansies
are quite hardy, 1t Is well to give
them a similar covering. Old pieces
of carpet or mating may be used fos
