Learn How to Sell.

Alone the farmer has no more chance
with the market combine than rabbit
has with hungry bulldog. Collective
ly he may hold his own and get a far
price for his produce. Figure a bit.
Five cents bushel added to the price
of wheat means a gain of 81 to $3.50
per acre. One-half a cent per pound
means gain Of s. in every 1000
pounds Of beef or pork or mutton. Co
operation in selling will bring these
advances and more. Twenty-Five cents
a bushel added to the sweet potato crop
in four years has raised the growers of
Underwater County, Virginia, from pow
erty to respectable wealth. Southern
cotton growers have made $3,OOO,OO0 d
year clear profit above the average by
sticking together Organization is the
''big stick of commerce and it is time
for farmers to learn to use it.

Are We Scrub Farmers.

We are all apt to practice scrub
methods of farming. For instance, we
allow the winter to pass without MAX
ing the necessary preparation for spring
work. We pillow around stumps and
big stones year after year; we pillow
through mudholes and harvest a crop
of weeds when a few tiles and little
labor would cause them to grow rhe
best crops on the farm. We do not NOW
our roadsides and we allow our grass
to become overripe before we cut it.

nutrition, proper labor, exercise and
high thinking. 1t is seen in strength
and not in weakness, in positive ele
ments rather than in negative; it makes
more Of man and not less.
Goodness is manifest in the qualities
of healthfulness of the inner life, i'll
tastes that crave the good and loathe
the evil, that love truth and hate lie,
in habits and aptitudes that make them
selves known in q thousand little ways
rather than in single acts and in atti-
tudes of professed piety.
You cannot hide the goodness of the
good man any more than you can cover
up the badness Of the bad Character
is a light that sets itself up where all
may see it. What you are always pro-
claims itself so much more loudly and
clearly than what you want folks to
think you are that there is little chance
of mistake
But if one would find this life of
goodness, how shall it be had? 1t is
had as the physical goodness which we
call health is TO be had. by right living,
right habits, right nutrition. Every act
done because we know it is the good
thing to do from the high motive Of
it's moral and spiritual values is con-
tribution to the life of goodness. Stead
lily choosing the best of all things is the
way to the possession Of the best al
ways
The good life is as much a matter of
habit as the bad one. Every act deter
mines habit. 1t is no use signing for
the life of goodness while persisting
in the deeds of darkness. Neither may
we find that life while cherishing the
thoughts of evil; you cannot be hosts to
devils within and hope to shine as an
angel of light without.
The life of goodness is not for the
pious prig. The man who thinks that
he only is good and all others are hope
lessly bad is about the only hopeless
case the moral physician meets. One
has to believe in the good in others to
find the good in himself. We are never
any better in ourselves than we believe
others may be.
Life's highest prizes have high prices,
yet they are it's greatest bargains. No
possession is so well worth the gaining
as this Of goodness, the clean heart the
clever eye. the keen taste for the right
and true the high delight in that which
is best, the love of the things that have
come down TO us as the great heritage
of our past, the labor for the future
that CLOVIS before.
After all, this right life may be the
most that any one can give to his world
The grandest contribution to the ply
steal well being of the race is to be
we'll and strong yourself. The finest
contribution to the moral and spiritual
wealth of our times is to cultivate this
life of normal soul health. He who
thus is strong gives strength and is tit
to give good service to all.

GOODNESS.
By Henry F. Cope.

ny I4Su1y Z. SOpS.
"Who is he that will harm you if We
be followers Of that which is good ~
I. Peter, 3 10.
Some men hope to become good by
going to church just as others hope to
become wise by sleeping in a college
dormitory
Goodness is an acquisition, but it is
not an imposition; it is gained, but it
is not laid on any one. Saints are not
made by sleeping in sanctifed places
any more than beauty may be gained
by sleeping near some great painting
The trouble with many people who
think they want to be good is that they
would be good if they could be good
without its making any real difference
to them. Goodnes seems to be a matter
of disposition or of accident, highly de-
sirable as a gift, but not sufficiently
worth while to pay a good price for
OF course, there are many who would
neither buy goodness at any price nor
take it as a gift To them it is wholly
undesirable, it is synonymous with
risy Yet the life of goodness is simply
the life that sets the good above goods,
the life that seeks the things that are
supremacy good, not for itself alone but
for all.
Goodness is not a weak, sentimental
feeling that comes over one when GER
tain hymns are being sung or when the
music of the organ rolls through the
dim aisles of the great cathedral Meth
er is goodness simply the negation of
evil. A good man is infinitely better
than statue, though he may have
some bad habits while the statue GER
tainly has none.
Goodness is the determined search of
the life for the highest good. Goodness
is the power in character which is like
health in the body the result Of right

THE GIFTS OF THE LORD.
BY Rev. Charles Fl. SPIT

BY Rev Charles II. Sturgeon.
Text: 1.-The Lord gave and the Lord
hath taken away; blessed be the name
of the Lord job / :21. =.
Some Of the rarest pearls have been
found in the deepest waters, and some
Of the choicest utterances of believers
have come from them when Gods waves
and pillows have been made to roll over
them. The fire consumes nothing but
the dross, and leaves the gold all the
purer In Jobs case | may truly say,
with regard to his position before God,
he had lost nothing by all his losses,
for what could be purer and brighter
gold than this which CLEANS before us
from our text revealing his triumphant
patience, his complete acquiescence in
the divine will? THE Lord giveth, and
the Lord taketh away; blessed be the
name of the Lord"
If we are believers, all the comforts
and mercies that we have are to be
viewed by us as coming from the hand
of our gracious Heavenly Father Job
confessed that the Lord had given him
his seven sons and three daughters
everything which he had ever possessed
he looked upon as having been the gift
of God. Job did not say, Il worked
hard to obtain all that stock that l
have now lost He did not complain,
II spent many weary days and many
anxious nights in accommodating all
those focks and herds that have been
stolen from me-" He did not ascribe
any of his wealth either to his own wit
or to his own industry, but he said of
it all, THE Lord gave it to me-" In
his minds eye, he took an inventory Of
all that he once had, and of all that he
had lost. and he said of the whole, 1T
was all the Lords gift to me-
Now. beloved, whatever may be the
possessions which you have at the pres
ent time, whatever may be the number
of those who are the comfort of your
life-husband or wife, parents or chill
dren, kinsfolk of any sort-say of all
of them, "The Lord gave them to me-
and as a Christian learn the wisdom of
never ascribing any earthly comfort to
auy earthly source. The wording may
not always be able to say what Job
said concerning his possessions. Some
of what he has may not have been OBJ
tanned honestly the Lord did not give
any of that to him. Some Of what he
has may turn out to be curse rather
than a blessing; but the believer in
Christ may say, with the utmost truth
fulness, with regard to all that he has,
1T is all the gift of my loving and ten
der Heavenly Father"

Is growing. But the attendant expense
has been the chief objection to wide
use. The Wisconsin station has been
making some tests with copperas. or
iron sulphate, that indicate that it is
quite as effective as the bluestone, ana
cheaper, as so cents will furnish enough
to treat an acre. Similar successful ex-
perlments have been made with copper
as by the Cornell station. Some three
years ago the California station tried
spraying with blue vitriol to hold in
check mustard on it's cereal paintings
at Yuba City and came to the same
conclusions as did the Wisconsin sta
ton. At Davis during the present sea-
son experiments in a limited way were
tried with copperas but owing to the
lack of facilities for properly applying
the compound results were not satisfac-
tory. The work will be repeated anoth-
er time with the most approved appli-
anceS.
