cHRISTMASTIDE,

No season of the year has so much
meaning for the home circle as does
Christmas. Not only is 1t the season
Of good cheer and open handed hospi-
tality, but the time when the scattered
members of the broken family circle
occupy their old, familiar places, with
perchance the vacant chair to bring up
tender memories Of one who, wearied
in the way of life, was "loved long
since and lost awhile" The season is
one of unselfshness, Of sympathetic
motives and kindly deeds, when the
dross Of life-its sin and selfishness-is
obscured by the radiance of its pure
gold, the qualities that uplift and
make for peace and happiness. But
surmounting every other sentiment
which holds sway at Christmastide is
the inspiring thought that the coming
Of the Christ Child on that faroff
sacred night when shepherds watched
their flocks ON the hill slopes of Judea
brought a brighter and better hope
to sin sick and miserable world and
still hears the same inspiring message
to sad and weary ones today, serving
as a beacon light to give them hope
In the midst Of failure and despair and
to guide them from out the shadows
by a narrow way to the sunlit plane of
life.

EATING TOO MUCH.
Overnutrition Is Just as Harmful az
MaInutrition,

Overnutrition Is Just as Harmful az
MaInutrition.
1t is an acknowledged fact that al
most every soul of us eats too much.
The digestive organs are constantly
overturned and finally weakened.
When wisely followed, the practice Of
fasting can be most beneficial. An ex-
pert on the food question has said that
one should rise from the table with
the feeling of hunger, which is an ex-
perience known to very few Of us.
On the contrary, the majority Of peo-
pie leave the board with sense Of
burden which only an hours siesta
can alleviate. This Is not so much
owing to the fact that the food Is un-
commonly rich, for the rule Of the
simple life obtains now in the fash
tonable cuisine, but it is the quantity
taken. There is large community at
the present moment which fasts from
breakfast time till dinner at night. It
% a question If it is wise to leave the
stomach entirely without food during
all those hours, but there is no ques-
ton that the lighter the lunch taken
the better will be the health Of the
Individual. BY Eight lunch" in this
Instance Is meant what most people
would not call lunch at au-that Is
to say, a few crackers with cheese
q much maligned article Of Diet, q
few nuts and a bit Of fruit or a cup
Of cocoa with dry toast. Such a
-feast" prevents the craving for food
and In NO way taxes the digestive Or
gans. Overnutrition Is just as harm
ful as malnutrition and Is far more
frequently the cause Of naladies.
With tudicious fasting the system re
covers ias lost tone, and mental work
ers would find that the brain worked
with surprising nshtnsss, forthe brain
IS one Of the chief sufferers from over
eating.-New York American.

ECONOMICAL HUsKINe MACHINE.

The "hogging down" of corn not
only reads we'll on paper, but works
out well in practice A friend related
to us briefly the other day his expe-
rience with this method of feeding
He fenced off ten acres hog tight and
turned in 125 hogs, including spring
pigs and sows. They worked into the
field quite Systematically from the
point where they were turned in and
cleaned up the field in just six weeks.
The owner states that he never had
pigs grow so fast They were at the
troughs in the feed yard squealing for
water at daybreak and as soon as
their thirst was slaked made for the
field and were not heard from again
until the next morning. They would
eat their fill Of the corn and then lie
around until they got hungry again.
Our friend estimates that the field of
corn cleaned up in the above manner
averaged about fifty-five bushels to
the acre. so that the saving on husk-
ing the $50 bushels, at cents per
bushel, was 500, or enough to more
than pay for the extra fencing need
ed. Besides this, good bunch of fer
tilizer was left on the ground and the
soil put in first rate shape for disking
or blowing next spring. 1t Is more
than likely that when the excellent
result of this method Of feeding be-
comes more generally known it will
be followed extensively in the corn
belt as time saver in the matter of
husking and as a partial solution of
the hired man problem.

KEEPING SEEDS OVER WINTER.


Conditions which prevail beneath the
ordinary hard shell nut bearing tree
during the winter months give pret-
ty good idea of the best way to keep
their seed over for spring planting.
Under conditions mentioned the seeds
are usually covered with grass and
leaves and freeze, the moisture in the
nut causing the shell to split. which
frees the germ so that it can start
growing when the warns days Of
spring arrive. While tree seeds or
nuts of the above kind may be allow
ed to freeze, they should be so stored
that they will freeze and thaw al
Tentatively as little as possible. While
the seed of the soft and hard maple
is frequently kept through the win
ter by storing carefully at tempera-
ture slightly above freezing. nature
provides for these tenGcrer seeds by
maturing them early il the summer SO
that they may fall to the ground and
germinate and get start in life be-
fore the cold winter weather comes
on. The same thing is true of the
seeds borne by the cottonwood and
elm.

A VALUABLE RtJlIETIN

The conclusion of an interesting bull
letin issued by the department at

ping Systems For New England Dairy

his cows appear to be the use Of a
short rotation wherever possible all
the clover hay and corn silage that
can be grown, lining the land for clio
yer If need be, better management
especially in the use of manure, OF
land net fit for short rotations and the
utilizing of the various other crops
including oats, peas and barley, win
ter rye. winter wheat and winter

millet, to fill the gaps with succulen
feed or add in quantity or quality t,

A proper idea Of the right and wrong

The only folks who on the surface Of
things seem to be the gamers In the

unfortunate from the correct agricul-
tural standpoint in that he Is COM
PEELED to sell raw grain instead of
finished animal products, while the
consumer Of meats Is held up for the
same old extreme prices simply for
the purpose Of filing the pockets Of
the beef trust. The packers thus have
the producer and the consumer OF
meat products on the. hip. and they

In order that they may have longer

buying good sires and dams. The ini-

ought to, but one gets his reward in
