steps toward nerves. 1t is certain
that she does not bring to the under
taking that what really counts, the
poise and Judgment which would have
been hers had her methods been other
than what they were.
Its the same way with men of too
precise a temperament, although with
men the instances are not so great in
number, for the very good reason that
even the most precise of them have to
act quickly under the spur of necessity
more often than women But a we'll
developed case of business is more
serious in a man than in a woman. His
clearing of the decks for an action of
consequence degenerates into a petty
slavery to trif1es and sooner or later
he finds that his business, to say moth
ing of his peace of mind, suffers as a
result
There is one rule that such people
should steel themselves to follow, and
that is to take the biggest thing first
and dispose of it. Putting it off till
minor affairs are out of the way is no
economy of time or effort. The little
things should be relegated to their
proper place, which is in the rear of
the procession"

THE DAHLIA.
A Popular Garden Flower That Is Eas.
lily Grown.

Dahlias of various colors are now
very popular because they are SO
easily grown. Several days, and
sometimes weeks, are gained in their
blossoming period when the tubers
or roots, are we'll sprouted before
they are planted in the garden. This
may be done in hot bed or a box
filled with earth which should be
kept warm and moist. The tubers
may be cut into pieces, much the
same as potatoes, which shall con-
tain only one or two stalks. This
is done after they have been sprouted
and rooted preparatory to planting out
doors.
The dahlia is most satisfactory
when only one stalk is allowed to
grow. This will form many branches
and make larger flowers than could
be obtained from several stalks
growing on one tuber. Plenty of
moisture and fertility are required to
develop the plants and insure bril-
liant colors. Keep the soil loose
and mellow about the roots of each
plant Do not allow any of the
blossoms to ripen seed-pick them
as soon as they are in full bloom.
Send to the seedsmen for a variety of
colors.

IMPROVE WASTE PLACES.
DO Not Allow Any Land to Be I'm
productive.

1t is an admirable plan to make all
of the waste places on the farm use
full. 1t is poor policy to pay taxes on
land that does not return any income,
and for that reason farmer ought not
to have any more land than he can in
some way make productive. There is
much land that should be restored to
forest growth, and it will be well for
many farmers to give scientific study
to this matter.
/ would not hesitate to set fruit
trees on some of the rough and rocky
portions of the farm and use mulch
freely if no cultivation could be given.
Poultry, hogs and bees may well oc'
cupy portions of the rough land near
the buildings, and thus in one way or
another there need be little land on
the farm not producing something.
Sometimes one of these waste places
may be made very profitable plot of
land. 1t will pay any farmer to look
after the waste places on his farm
and see how they can be best
utilized.

SQUASH BUGS.
Guard the Young Vines from Their
Ravages.

Those pesky striped squash bugs
come in swarms, hence the plants
must be very carefully guarded,
otherwise they may be destroyed in
a single day. Frames covered with
cheese cloth or wire are the best pro-
lection. Their expense is small for a
few hills when compared to the
value of a garden crop.
Air Stacked lime, with a few drops
of turpentine added, busted over the
plants will drive the bugs to the
neighbors' vines. Wood ashes, with
a little paris green added, busted on
the plants very early in the morning
is also destructive to the pests. White
Aellebore applied with small powder
gun is a deadly poison to bugs
and worms on plants and shrubs. Re-
member this when the current worms
appear.

BUSINESS THAT DOES HARM.
Petty Slavery 70 TrifIes Bad for Either
Man or Woman.

There's an instinct of orderliness,
said a doctor, that sometimes works
harm. 1t is in the instinct that mani
tests itself in the clearing up of null
titude of little things before really big
thing is undertaken.
Il see a good many instances OF it in
my practice, more, perhaps, in the case
of women than of men. 1t comes from
a desire to free ones mind for the i'm
portant task, and, like numerous other
desires that work out rather different
~ from what we intend, is in itself
commendable enough. A woman, for
example, has letter Of moment to
write. Does she sit down and write
that letter? No, the chances are that
she doesn't. Other matters TO which
she has to attend crowd in upon her,
and of she goes, doing first this thing
and then that, the thought of the letter
in her mind all the time. When her
breathing spelr arrives and she sits at
her desk it is quite likely that she is
tired. or. at least, has taken the first

and wilderness to the inland capital
of a foreign province was at first ex-
clusively by pack train. When Beck
nell employed wagons on his second
trip great surprise was expressed that
no serious obstacles were encountered
to their progress. That fact shows
how true it is that the Santa Fee
Trail was natural highway AT the
beginning of the southwestern trade
little trouble was experienced with In
dians. Not until the Texans and some
irresponsible traders began Indian
batting were the redmen provoked to
scalp lifting as a measure of retalia-
ton.
Journey One of Hardship.
Nevertheless, the long distance that
had to be traversed over waterless
deserts, the heat of the treeless plains
and the sandstormS and temrests that
sometimes overlook the caravans
made the journey, under the most
favorable circumstances, one of diff
Guilty, hardship and Encouragement.
When the Indians had been goaded
into a state of chronic hostility
freighting over the trail became any
thing but holiday pastime. In later
years, as the traffic grew in volume
and Importance, the dangers and diff
culties were lessened by the establish
ment of military posts at intervals,
but these could not afford perfect Sc
curity. 1t was not until after the In
1nd
about 1870, that travel became rea-
sonably safe, and even after that Oc-
casional war parties left the reserva-
lions and returned to their old trade
of murder and plumber. 1t was the
custom of traders to outfit at indie
pendence, Mo. From there the wagons
travelled singly to Council Grove, on
the Cottonwood, where they waited
for others to form a caravan of suffi-
cient strength to be able to repel any
probable attack Often 200 men or
more were thus banded together. Each
wagon was drawn by eight mules or
horses or by six or eight oxen, the
white canvas covered Conestoga
wagons, made in Pittsburg, being en-
ployed
After the first tentative years of the
traffic oxen were the preferred
draught animals For better protec-
ton against the Indians, it was Gus
tomary for four wagons to travel
abreast. In addition to the drivers, a
number of horsemen always accom-
panied the trains, their duties being
to kill buffalo, antelope and other
game to supply fresh meat to the COM
pany, and to keep a sharp lookout for
signs of Indians. Before the start was
made a captain was chosen, and the
long journey was made under his or
ders, under something like military
organization. Camping places were
selected by the scouts in advance,
with view to securing plenty of wa
ter and good pasturage for the stock.
At night the wagons were arranged in
circular form, to serve as a fort in
case of attack. Watches and guards
were posted and relieved at frequent
intervals. Cooks and scouts were en-
ployed, and everything possible was
done to obviate danger and to expedite
the trip. But in spite of all precau-
tions, attacks by Indians were COM
mon, and it is sometimes said that
every rod of the Ssnsa Fe Trail il
marked by grave.
