Teaching People to Save.

While the opposition of the banking
fraternity to government postal banks
seems natural as business policy, it
goes against one Of the cardinal prin-
ciples Of sound finance. People need
to be taught to save and have their
money earn more money.
The regular savings banks will al
ways pay higher interest than the gov
ernment would allow and must con-
tinue to get the spare money Of the
thrifty having access to their vaults
The postal bank will send the dragnet
into the byways Of the land and gath
er in dollars that would otherwise be
boarded in idleness or scattered on the
first tempting bargain or chance for a
good time If the pennies are saved
the dollars will find the right channel
to the best repositories for savings in
bulk.

Soldiers, Marching Tests,

Our army would show off well in a
marching test If the work done by the
officers recently is criterion. Fifty
miles in three days is good marching,
although not great marching. During
the fall maneuvers Of the German
troops the marching test was twenty
miles in one day, and 20 per cent of
the men dropped out before the end.
This is poor marching, and the French
have shown better stuff or better
training. for only per cent fell out on
a march of the same length in France.
What our officers can do the men
can do. These walking tests for Off
GERS will no doubt spur the men in
garrison to practice on long walks
Fifty miles in three days as the roads
average is good work, although it was
often beaten in the civil war. One
corps made forced march Of thirty
five miles in twenty -four hours to get
into the battle of Gettysburg, and this
was not Stonewall Jackson's foot
cavalry" either. Good marching wins
as many battles as good fighting.

FALL PLoNisNG.
Facilitates Work In the Spring and
improvco Gecd Bed.

Improves 3ecd Bed.
While little definite investigation has
been carried on to determine the rela.
tive value of spring and fall plowing
yet the practice on many Of our west.
ern ranches is to get as much as pos
sible Of the land to be seeded in the
spring plowed during the fall. This
foresight is considered especially es.
sential in breaking new ground. OF
course in the arid region of the country
it is difficult to plow in the fall, and
some farmers leave the work until
spring in order that the land may be
plowed much more easily after the
SHOWS and spring rains. One advanr
tage in fall plowing is that it opens up
the soil and admits the moisture from
the fall and spring rains and winter
SHOWS more easily.
In some cases, however, quite as
good results are gained from leaving
the stubble on the ground throughout
the winter. A long stubble tends to
prevent the snow from blowing and
accunulates considerable moisture in
dug up so much that they do not need
autumn plowing, and such fields are
always in the best filth in the spring.
One distinct advantage in fall plowing
Is that it facilitates work in the spring
and tends to better preparation Of the
seed bed ut that time.
If large areas must be plowed in the
spring the work is crowded and not
enough attention is given by way of
preparing the seed bed. Our springs
vary, and frequently it is quite late
before farming operations can begin,
1t is therefore decided advantage to
have the ground plowed in the fall in
order that it may be worked up rapid
ly in the spring with the disks and
harrows. Another advantage for fall
blowing is that it affords Il good means
Of disposing of the manure. AS soon
as the grain is cut and when it is
standing in shock manure may be dis
the thrashing is done can be plowed
under.
The precipitation of the succeeding
months beats down the soil and so
tends to bring about decomposition in
the manure. If the manure is left and
plowed under in the spring it fire.
quently lies in strawy punches and in
terferes with the rise of moisture
later. The observations in many sec
tions indicate that the very best way
to dispose of manure is to get it Oh
the ground and plow it down i'll the
fall. Our modern traction plows and
the introduction of the disk plow have
done much to simplify fall and winter
plowing in this country. 1t frequently
occurs that we have good rain or q
snowstorm, after which the plowing
can be done quite readily.

savjnq Waste Land,

The people of Denmark are fast re.
claiming their waste land by the labor
Of convicts. In Jutland there is a
large undeveloped territory Of almost
barren waste covered With tough.
healthy underground. The government
sets the prisoners at work breaking up
the tough surface and putting it into
shape for farming Even then the land
Is at first of very l,,.1.' gals, and it is
given away to settler, who care to
take possession.
Through thcir e. u, ;;.ia.sy farms
have begun to DOT tie l!atlanl land

covered with good sized tablecloth.
Everything, too, costs so much-even
the air, we get so little, and we sigh
in vain for the cooling breezes that
are nearly always to be found some
where on our farm home.
City women, however, have a good
many advantages that their country
friends miss. They have more time
for rest, recreation and reading.
Their homes, being small, are more
easily cared for. The men Of the
household are usually away through
the day. Fruit, vegetables and gro
ceries are brought to the door, and it
is always possible to find some one to
do the work. The chances to shop
and attend bargain sales are right at
hand. There arc also theaters, lee
lures, concerts and in the summer
numbcrless little excursions that are
not expensive and make delightful
change. When we visit the city we
enjoy these privileges very much. If
hardly get home before our visit is re-
turned. Our city friends think it costs
country people scarcely anything to
have company-they raise so much Of
their food, and they have plenty of
room anyway. So If we go for one
week they return us two or three, if
not more. They always get the best
of US, we can be certain of that, and
how they enjoy the drives, fruit, milk
and outdoor life-even better than
we do the city pleasures, which tire
us even while they entertain, so that
we are glad to go home, glad to return
to the simple life and take up our old
work. We all have, I believe, some
city friends whom we visit seldom and
whose coming we look forward to
with dread. Their children are un-
ruly, and they don't wish them to be
corrected. They keep our houses and
lawns untidy with their hats, wraps
and papers, while in their own homes

STORING VEGETABLES.
Tho Best Way to Keep Them In VIII

Tho Best Way to Keep Them In Win
ter.
It requires care and knowledge Of
the nature Of vegetables in order to
successful keep them through the late
fall and winter. They must, as q rule,
be kept in cool atmosphere, but not
cool enough to freeze. But pumpkin
and squash need u dry, warm air and
in gathering must be carefully han
died. 1t is best to leave the stem long,
and never store squashes until ripe.
Potatoes do best in i cellar that is
cool and damp and sli2lld be kept in
the dark. as much as possible, but
there should be an arrangement for a
good circulation of air.
Barrels or boxes are best for car
rots, parsnips, beets and turnips. Aft
er storing in these receptacles sand or
fine soil. should be placed on top, allow
ing it to run down between the roots.
The soil should be shaken down SO as
to fill all the spaces
In harvesting the vegetables must
be carefully handled and the tops cut
off an inch or more from the top. This
will prevent Il chance of decay from
close cutting. If beets are cut too
close they will bleed, losing their sweet
flavor, and quickly spoil
Onions should be perfectly dried as
soon as gathered and not allowed in a
damp place. If kept in dry room
where the thermometer is barely
above freezing they will keep we'll
Cabbage placed in a barrel and sunk
in the ground and so arranged that
moisture cannot enter and then thick
ly covered with straw and earth will
keep nicely till far into spring. But
where it is intended to be used dur
ing the winter good plan is to cut off
the stems and outer leaves, trim the
heads about as much as if preparing
to cook and then wrap each head sep
arately in several thicknesses of news
paper This will exclude the air, Aft
er lining Il barrel with paper pack the
wrapped heads closely in it and after
all are in cover with paper. The bar
rel must be kept in the coolest part Of
the cellar. Dampness will not harm
the keeping qualities.
To keep tomatoes pick the largest
specimens that have. begun to show
color as soon as the vines are cut by
frost, but before the fruit is frosted.
Handle carefully to prevent bruising.
Wrap each tomato separately in soft
paper and place in shallow boxes or

can thus be kept for several weeks
after killing frosts.
An occasional turning under Of the

methods of farming.

cobs For Kind!ing.

First, provide large substantial dry
goods box Place in wood shed and
fill it with old cobs. Second, take any
old pail holding about two and a half
or three quarts. Fill that about quar-
ter full with kerosene oil and hang on
a stout nail conveniently near the large
box. Then fill the pail with cobs, stand
ing each on end so that the ends will
be submerged in the oil. In the morn
ing take six cobs from the pail, place
in your stove, lay your large wood on
the cobs and touch cobs off with a
match. You will soon have roaring
hot fire. Nor need you entertain any
fears about it not going, for the cobs
have absorbed some Of the oil and will
burn for half hour OF more with in
tense heat. Even green wood may be
used if baked in oven for an hour or SO
before the fire is allowed to go out the
night before. But everybody knows
that green wood is not as easy to kin
die as seasoned wood. The good wife
always appreciates supply of dry
fuel.
VI Coulse WueA you Tame any CoUs
out of the pail others must be put in to
take their places. In this way very
valuable supply of excellent kindling
is always on hand, and you always
know exactly where to find it. If you
have no cobs, any miller is usually
glad to let you have them for carrying
them away, or at the most miller will
charge you only 25 cents for two
horse double wagon box load, and
since it is only necessary to use six
cobs to start one fire they will last a
long time. Besides, they are very
handy-no muss or dirt, already split
and ready for use.

A CLUSTER OF WAUGH p1uMs.

America. OF 1ate years, however, the
insects destructive to this admirable
fruit have become less plentiful, and
now there have been introduced so
many kinds that are proof against the
ravages Of the plague that the plum
is fast resu,ning its original impor-
tance as a garden and orchard fruit.
Plum culture has already reached "a
high stage Of development on the Pa
cific coast, and since the new varie-
ties from Japan made their appear
ance the number Of growers all over
the country has increased greatly.
The modern plum is great improve
ment over the old fashioned fruit Of
half century ago. Some of the
hybrids recently brought to public no.
tice by American growers bid fair to
become prime favorites. Among the
most promising of these is the Waugh,
plum which has stood the test re-
markably well and is in every respect
Q desirable acquisition.
