A Trying Moment.

Professor Leopold Schroeder was
called to see the Crown Prince Fred
erick in 1887 before Sir Morrell Mac
kenzie had reached San Reno. The
prince, evidently suspecting the worst,
turned to Schroeder after the examina-
ton and said, II request the truth as
to my ailment" Schroeder hesitated
and made an effort to direct the con-
versation in another direction, but
Frederick insisted II am soldier"
he said, land can look death In the
eye. ask you now plainly, to the
point, Is my complaint cancerT
Schroeder could hardly contain himself,
and years after the scene when he re-
called 1t he spoke Of 1t as the moet
painful In his life. He conducted the
crown prince to q chair and asked him
to be seated. Then he said, "Your Inn
perial highness. you are suffering from
serious complaint, and X Ia possible

lively at this mopent" Frederick be-
came deathly pafe, but never for
moment lost his self control and smiled
grimly when he thanked the physician
for his honesty.

Had Never Seen a Burro.

The long cared burro, that hardy lit
tie animal that helped build the Won
derful cog railway up Pixies peak, is
considered necessity In the far west,
but is something Of curiosity way
down east In the New England
states. There is a story of the burro
and a man from Maine. Here 1t is:
A wealthy Yankee went west last
winter from Maine, leaving his family
at home. His hobby was to collect
quaint pieces Of pottery, unique art-
cles of furniture, bureaus, tables,
desks and "whatnots." When he was
ready to leave for home he found he
had bought up several dray loads Of
curios. he chartered car and loaded
In his treasures, but there still was one
end of the car that might be filed with
something unique. Some one suggest
ed that he buy a burro for his little
boy to ride, which he did, and the
"mountain canary" occupied the va
cant space. The Yankee station agent
back in Maine, when he began to I'M
load the car, checked off each article
on the bill of lading till he came to the
burro. He was much puzzled, for he
could not find this thing on his list.
Finally he made an entry in the IRE
marks" column OF his tally sheet as
follows:

HoMENADE POST DRIVER.

ficulty by the use of team. A chain
should be fastened about the stump,
allowing a good length to the chain.
The chain should be stout one, espe-
cially If large posts which are firmly
set are to be taken out When stumps
or posts are to be removed, spring is
the best time to do the work, as the
ground is then moist and the post
comes out more easily. Sometimes
when boundaries are to be moved,
fields changed In outline or new fences
erected great many posts must be
removed In a very short time, and un-
less some mechanical device were
adopted for fastening the work IT
would take quite long time.
OF the many post pullers now in use
perhaps the one here shown is the most
seryiceable. 1t should be made Of an
old buggy axle or any other old piece
OF iron of about that size and used as
shown With this tool one man will
pull more posts in a day than with any
other tool the writer ever heard of,
and two men with two of the tools can
easily remove the largest telephone or
telegraph poles.
Posts may be driven with speed and
economy on many farms If well sharp
ened and the right method Is followed.
A real post driver is one of the most
easily made things and one of the most
useful that farmer can get up. Up
rights are bolted across TO a sled, or a
rough plank sled may be made.

Of England on Good Friday to hallow

THE UP TO DATE FARMER.
How He Makes Agriculture Paying
Business.


The up to date farmer knows the
value OF being up to date. He knows
that new discoveries In the various sci
ences related to agriculture reveal new
relations and suggest better methods.
He knows that many of the theories
held and many Of the methods prac-
tced years ago, and some even now,
are worthless. He knows that one
farmer cannot make as many expert
ments as can a thousand men.
He reads books on farming and does
not SCOT at the book farmer. nor does
he refuse to listen to the college pro-
fessors. for. while he has great respect
for the students OF agriculture, yet he
knows that the time has not come and
never can come when agriculture shall
be reduced to q rigid science, which
shall be governed by q code Of rules
and laws. as are such sciences as chem
istry, physics and the like.
The up to date farmer has the latest
improved farming implements and to

three horses must work hard to do the
work which two could easily do with a
plow properly adjusted. He under
stands the application Of force to all
his farm machinery SO that the great
est amount OF work Is accomplished
with the least expenditure Of power.
When his farm implements are not IN
use he keeps them well housed II 1t is
profitable to do so. A hundred dollar
wagon shed into which a twenty-five
dollar farm wagon is backed by hand
every time the team is unhitched is not
profitable.
The up to date farmer pays his debts.
Not the least important Of these is the
one he owes to the SOIL He knows that
each crop which the soil yields takes
from 1t something of Its fertility and
that unless this fertility is returned to
the soil it can soon yield only dimin-
ished crop. So he is very careful year
by year to pay back to his land that
fertility which the crop has taken from
