Happiness.

Happiness 70 shy plant. For the
one who nurses and watches it, devotes
time and thought to its culture, and
who tries to remove all hindrances
from the soil, and shelter 1t from every
rough wind, it never reaches anything
but a puny and uncertain develop
ment. But he who is too busy with
other things to bestow much atten-
tion upon 1t; whose heart and hands
are too full of weightier matters to
heed its vagaries. will usually be re-
warded with hardy and plentiful
growth. There is nothing better than
q little wholesome letting alone in the
matter of watering and petting, SO far
as ones own happiness is concerned,
1t will not live under a glass.

To know the truth, and then refuse
to obey 1t; TO hear the message, assent
to its accuracy, bow in the presence OF
its great demand intellectually, and
yet not answer its CLAIM, that is the
sin which hardeps man. When q
man so disobeys, he becomes hardened
by the very truth that might have
softened him; he becomes enslaved and
debased by the very message that
ought to have made him free indeed.
In that sense the angel Ia SAVIOR OF
life unto life, or death unto death.

RANCH AMP HOUsEHOLD.

The average grindstone on the farm
sees pretty tough times. The softer
the stone, the harder usage it receives.
Its lot is almost as hard as that of the
boy who has to turn 1t hy the hour.
The grinding surface of the stone is
more apt to be concave than it is to
have an even face or slightly beveled
surface. The concave condition comes
from grinding axes, scythes, machine
knives, etc., with their edges length
wise Of the stone instead of across it.
This cannot be helped in grinding
some things, but when the stone does
assume this shape, making it impossi-
ble to grind chisel or any fiat. edged
tool decently it is good time to get
a spade or two-spades are usually dull
and hold them on the stone until
sharpened; when the irregularities in
the surface of the stone will have dis
appeared.

There is nothing too good for the old

1t Is, and since he will have to help
pay for these advantages some time or
other, let US have them now before his

of them.
Those who DON'T think that Lebanon

CANADA has an assimilation
problem on hand. She is wonder
Ing whether she can make thor
pughgoing Canadians out Of the
few hundred thousand farmers who
have gone into her western proyin-
ces from the United States. AL
berta, "the pick of the basket is
said to be Americanized already,
and in ali the West the customs
and life of the States have made
great inroads on the Canadian type
of civilization. American books,
hotels, clothes, speech, newspapers,
and sports are driving out the ma
tive and the British product, not
always to the improvement of con-
ditions. The only remedy thus
far suggested is more emigration
from England, But England is far
away. and the British colonist has
a whole education to acquire after
he arrives. On the other hand, the
States are near, and the American
invader knows the ropes from the

IT SEEMS that we are to be told
how much is given to political GAM
paign funds this yeay, and one
great party will publish the names
Of all who give over SIoo.
Whether the other campaign man
ayers will follow this example is
not certain lust now, but they will
need to find good reasons for keep
ing secrecy. Political campaigns
cost Z; lot of money, and everybody
knows that in times past much OF
{his money was contributed by
people who were neither partisan

They looked ON their gifts as in
yestments from which they might
expect a return. But the public
has learned to ask, "Where does
the money come from?" and the
party or the candidate that is un-
willing to tell isat once suspected
of being afraid to tell. The more
publicity the better, not only for
the candidates, but for the whole
country.

Two much water and too little culti-
vation seems to be the rule with a good
many of our fruit growers. The first
year trees should receive frequent irri-
cation and less each year after that.
A cultivation should naturally follow
each irrigation as soon thereafter as the
soil is in condition to work well. The
result of irrigation by flooding is to
pack the particles of the soil closely
and evaporation of moisture becomes
rapid. String the soil breaks the
capillary attraction, the surface of the
soil will dry out for al inch or two in
depth and that dry soil becomes nom
conductor of the moisture from below.
The moisture is retained and by this
means irrigation is not necessary nearly
SO often. If irrigation is repeated
without cultivation the soil becomes
more and more compact with each
wetting and the evaporation becomes
more rapid. To make healthy, vigor.
Gus plant or tree growth the roots must
have moisture, heat, light and air and
these can only be attained by thorough
cultivation. The man who irrigates
constantly without cultivation can
never succeed. Many think they are
cultivating when they shave off the
weeds without stirring the soil. This
is not cultivation. When the soil Ii
loose it takes water readily and II
should be turned off as soon as the ir.
