Constantinope. Oct. Second thoughts have
raised doubts in Constantinople 10 the ad-
visibility of the proposed conference Of the
powers TO discuss the occurrences of the present
eventfuI week, and Great Britain's hint the
Ottoman government that such a meeting might
possibly only add to the complications and
suit in further detriment to Turkey may induce
the Porte TO abandon its demand therefor
Many leading Turks already openly express
the opinion that IL would be safer to avoid such
a meeting. accept the accomplished facts and
demand compensation from the powers in the
shape Of the execution of the articles of the
Berlin Treaty favorable to Turkey. as well as
a monetary compensation for the loss of the
Oriental Railroad in Eastern Rumeia and the
capitalization Of the Rumelan tribute

Glover and Timothy.

The Missouri station has conducted
very careful experiments in steer feed
ing. using different kinds of roughage.
These experiments show that, as an
average result, bushel Of corn with
timothy hay produced 4.93 pounds of
grain, while the same amount of corn
with clover hay produced 6.5S pounds.
Rating the gain at the low price of five
cents per pound, the feeder gets some
thing more than eight cents per bushel
for his corn when he feeds it with
clover than when he feeds it with
timothy. Put the hay away having in
mind to feed the clover to the steers
and to all growing and all mich ami
mails, and to sell the timothy. Good
real good-clover hay Is as good for
work horses as timothy. If you don't
believe it, try it out. But the clover
must be cut early enough-when the
heads have just become real red-and
handled without much rain or dew,
and not be overcured-that means the
use Of the best haying machinery. In
cidentally, the use Of the best haying
machinery means hay at less cost for
the making.-Weekly Witness.

To Make a Good Cistern.

An absolutely water-tight cistern
may be made as follows:
In digging, the sides should be made
smooth and true perpendicularly. For
the bottom use five parts Of clean,
coarse, sharp sand (plasterers call it
fine grayel) to one part Of cement. 1t
only requires to be damp enough to
work we'll It should be thoroughly
mixed all at one time, and be lowered
into the cistern quickly and spread
more rapidly with shovel or hoe, and
should be beat down hard and smooth.
Upon this bottom foundation the
ciStern should be walled up with brick
or stone in cement to at least 6 inches
above the top Of the ground, which will
keep all surface water out. For finish
ing the bottom use one part cement to
one part sand this is thoroughly mix
ed while dry, and then water should be
added until it is like plastering mortar.
Dump 1t on the bottom about 3 inches
thick and smooth with a trowel. 1t
will soon be hard as stone. For the
sides Of the cistern, which should be
done before finishing the bottom, use
equal parts of sand and cement and
apply quickly as you would plaster
wall 1t is not safe to use anything
but the best Portland cement, which
costs about SO a barrel.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Self-mastery is half Of all morality.
Life without difficulties is but death.
MANY a man who acts smart Is made
to smart for it.
It takes a tender heart to do the
really hard things.
You never have to dun a man who
owes you grudge.
Everybody expects everybody else to
set good examples.
Hard words seldom make an impress
sion on soft people.
Women who talk most usually mean
what they don't say.
The desired haven Is not reached by
sailing before the wind.
The experience a man buys is always
delivered little too late.
The only harmless fools are those in
the hands Of the undertaken.
Many are willing to be soundly plous
so long as piety is all sound.
Instead Of regretting yesterday get
busy and do something to-day.
No man has said Amen to his prayers
until he gets busy answering them.
Some men get out Of practice because
they spend all their time preaching.
Bad times often come as result of
too much living for good times only.
Cynicism is the atrophy that comes
from refusing to realize our own ideals.
When misery is at hand there isn't
much pleasure In remembering former
joys.
He who never said harsh word Of
anyone failed in his duty to every
one.
The problems Of any day are the Ia
dications of the keenness Of its con-
science.
You should remove the junk from
your own back yard before worrying
about the old tin cans in your neigh
boris.

sag and loop it is no longer attractive,
nor is il a sure means Of keeping
stock within bounds. Many devices
have been suggested and even patented
for stretching wire, but here is a
simple little contrivance that anyone
can make in a few minutes that will
do the work quickly and well. For
short spans it can be made Of wood,
although for heavy wires or for long
stretches it would be better to make it
out Of iron. This little contrivance is
about two feet long, with two pins
about three inches apart at one end.
Place the wire between these pins and
turn the stretcher around until the
wire Is drawn tight. By engaging the
pin at the other end of the stretcher
the tension can be maintained while
the wire is being nailed fast. With
an arrangement of this sort one man
can do rapid work alone and fix up S
sagging fence in short order.

Sam has farm for every one Of u.s."
In 1906 we had less than 100000
acres of unoccupied habitable land.
What slim reserve that is may be
realized from the fact that one-fourth
OF it was disposed of in the following
year. We cannot add to our agri-
cultural areas except by irrigation and
drainage, but we may, by intelligent
selection of crops, by scientific cultiva-
ton and by careful treatment of land,
make it produce three or four times
as much as it does at present And
this is the direction in which our de-
velopment should proceed, for we must
find room within the next 80 years for
a doubled population according to our
undiscerning ideas. The American
farmer of the future must be a man Of
broad mind and technical knowledge.

II your soil needs humus, pillow under
all the coarse manure you can get this
fall. Every farmer realizes the neces-
slty Of having more manure, and one
way to secure it is by providing an
abundant supply Of absorbing material.
Even If there appears to be a large pro-
portion Of this material in the manure,
making 1t strawy and coarse, it can be
pIoWed under and will answer an ex-
ceJIent purpose Every effort should be
made to secure all the manure that is
made on the farm, so that nothing
Shall be lost. This manure, properly APP
piled on the meadows, should be worth
81 per two-horse load in the extra
amount OF hay that will thus be secur-
ed from it's use.

leaves no legacy Of things, while yet
another is equally sure that success is
to be measured by treasures of the soul
alone. Who will show US the right
way?
A concrete answer comes from one Of
the worlds wisest and best. Paul
mighty in manhood, died poor and in
prison; but he died endorsing the
course that had such an end. In review
he saw that the way had been right
He might have taken many other ways
So potent personality would have
found prosperity in any Of them. But
he deliberately chose the way Of serv
ice for spiritual things; he accepted
the hardships, loss, privattons, prisons
and death, and rejected the possibilities
of easy wealth and fame. At the end,
having tasted all the bitterness Of the
way, he commends it to his young
friend Timothy. The path Of service
for humanity, the fight against sin and
wrong, the stewardship Of faith and
truth and right, these, says he, are the
worth while things in life.
But was Paul right? Is any life pat
termed after his Masters, any life that
counts the inner joys, the glories OF
service, the rewards Of character as su-
preme, and so misses the treasures for
which the many strive, a success?
Let history answer. Is it fame we
seek there were a thousand famous,
mighty, successful men in imperial
Rome when Paul, from his prison,
wrote these words. Well might they
have despised the poor prisoner had
they even heard Of him. Yet who to-
day remembers the name Of one of these
great ones? And who is there has not
heard Of and honored that poor, con-
delnned prisoner? Even much more is
all this true concerning the lowly man
Of Nazareth.
Let our own hearts answer. Is 1t
riches we seek; what is all prosperity
without peace Of heart? Can money
ever buy comfort, content, or sympathy ?
Money Is to be measured by its earning
power, the interest accruing in shappi-
ness and usefulness. The worth Of the
things you hold in your hand depends
on the riches Of your heart. Think you
not this world would be the better
place and life the Weather for us all
If all were seeking the things unseen,
truth and right and holiness, love and
service, seeking to see their God and
to serve their fellows? That would not
mean race Of mystics; it would mean
more manhood, less mammon; more
wealth and fewer fortunes. Deep in
all our hearts we know this is the best
way; it's toilsome path alone gives
peace; its intangible prizes alone are
permanent; its supreme reward is char
acter, the soul, the one asset we can
carry from this world and the one leg
acy which it is safe to leave to others
