BARGAINS OF LIFE.
30 Long as We Live We VIII Never
Stop Trading.

SO Long as We Live We Wil Never
stop Trading.
Four children are huddled In tiny
room in tenement. An aged woman
painfully climbs the stairs and enters
Her tired face lights with smile as
she places a bundle of groceries on q
table. She has toiled all night at
cleaning the floors Of. an Office build
ing. Grandma" the children call
her. Her days of toll had, seemingly,
ended years before. She settled down,
then, to end her life in rest and peace.
But her son died; then her daughter.
in-law died. And to keep the children
together she got work. We thought
lessly call this a sacrifice. We think II
is giving something for nothing"
Oh, no, the old lady is smiling. She
made a bargain She toiled to win
the deep peace that is shown by her
smile.
Here is musty old man, profes
sor, sunk in his books. What lot
he has missed in life, some of US
say. Missed nothing He hasn't sac
rificed a thing. On the contrary he
got just what he most wanted
knowledge and scholarly contempla-
tion. He might have had fame,
wealth, a beautiful home. But he
traded them all off for what he want
ed most
See the millionaire. Worry besets
him; he does not sleep well; he dis
trusts every man. He traded peace
and quiet and contentment for MIL
lions. Money was what he wanted.
And this is life-bargains. We bar
ter this for that; trade what we want
less for what we want more. Look
at yourself at any moment in your life
now, for instance. Everything you
have got by this bartering; every
thing you have not. you have traded
away. I'm poor man." perhaps you
say. Yes, but you're something more
than that. Maybe you're lazy maybe
you drink; maybe you hate to save:
maybe self-control is unpleasant to
you; maybe you wanted little home
and children; maybe you saw that you
could buy happiness for yourself by
giving your money to others-there
are 10000 maybes. But you may be
sure that you got what you wanted.
You made your bargain. You didn't
sacrifice anything.
Yon can see, then, when the big
thing, the right thing, In this world
is wanting, ideals should be set high.
You will get what you really want.
You can't help it. You're paying out
something all the time. Be sure you
will be getting something back. You
can't stop trading in this market for
life. Don't be cheated. Choose and
pay.

Sulnhnr EumigatfOn.

1t takes some ingenuity to burn sui
phur in a vessel, as it tends to smoth-
er flames. If several pounds are to
be burned, fire of cobs or sticks
soaked with kerosene must be built
above the sulphur and kept burning
until you see the blue flame of the
sulphur licking up through the wood
blaze.
One way to disinfect the poultry
house with sulphur Is to dissolve one
half pint of turpentine and one-half
pint of tar in one-half gallon of kero-
sene. Soak corncobs In this solution,
and when ready to burn out the poul.
try house for lice or germs Of disease
have ready sharp-pointed piece Of
iron to thrust in the ends of the cobs,
set lighted match to it and while
1t burns pass the cob over the roosts,
cracks in the henhouse and every
where about it. This should be done
every week for a month or more

MiddIemen.

Retailers are necessary according to
present methods of doing business and
until farmers organize a selling force
of their own middlemen will continue
to toll the farmers grist as thorough
ly as the traffic will bear. Peaches
may rot on the ground in Missouri
while selling for cents each In Chi
cago, but the farmer in Missouri is
helpless because he has no represen-
tative in the market center. The time
will come when farmers will have an
agent at each central point to handle
farm products and distribute them
either to the consumer or retail gro
GER. When that time comes farmers
will come nearer getting what they
work for. 1t is just as necessary to
sell right as to farm right.-Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

The Embarrassing Truth.

"The vindication of Dr. Harvey W
Wiley is great triumph" said q
Washington diplomat, "for pure food
Dr. Wiley tells the truth, and the truth
Is painful to certain types of food pro
ducers."
The diplomat laughed.
"Dr. Wiley was talking the other day
about the painfulness Of the truth" he
resumed. "He said 1t reminded him
Of morning call that he once made

swer to his ring a tiny tot of a girl

highway, which constitutes the quota
for $40 acres of land.
"The value of our forests was never
better appreciated than today. Within
the arid and semi-arid portions of the
Western states nearly 124, 900, 900
acres are covered with woodland, of
value for fuel, fence posts and other
purposes essential to the success Of the
farmers. There are also $4,000, 900
acres covered with heavy forests hav-
ing commercial value for timber and
logs for sawmills, also hundreds of
thousands of acres of timber lands in
other parts of the United States. Re-
forestation and conservation of the
vast resources are necessary to provide
future generations with timber and
lumber supplies. The government is
expending large amounts of money
every year to protect its forests from
fires, yet expert lumbermen say that
more standing timber is destroyed by
flames annually than is converted into
merchantable lumber by the sawmills.
Mr.. Hooker said it is likely that his
resolution will be presented to the var
ious interests of the irrigation con-
gress for discussion and will afterward
be Incorporated in memorial to the
United Sites congress. 1t is also pur-
posed to have large delegation, COM
posed of representatives of every state
and territory in the Union, push the
measure for adoption. The work of
enlisting the support of the people in
terested in the various projects will be
taken up Immediately after the close
of the irrigation congress with the
view to concerted action.

Passing of Horned Cattle.

Horned cattle and horned sheep are
rapidly disappearing. Many of the
cattle bred and fed In the corn belt
are hornless. Breeds of this kind are
growing in popularity. In the noun
famous country and on the plains
wild cattle needed long horns for the
protection of themselves and their
young. Now, however, with the plains
thickly settled and with few wild ami
mails the cattle do not need horns.
Among the hornless breeds are the
Galloway, Angus, Red Poll and Polled
Shorthorns. Polled Jersey and Polled
Hereford are also coming into favor.
By the application of caustic potash
the growth of the horns is prevented
in the young calf.-Inter Ocean.

Waste of Timber.

The prodigal waste of timber during
the last forty years Is estimated to
average $50,000,000 annually, or ap-
proximately $2,OOO,OOO,OOO worth Of
timber wasted. 1t is time there was
a national movement to conserve our
national resources and arrest the pro-
digal waste of our forests and the de-
pletion of the fertility of the land.
While Uncle Sam is no longer rich
enough to give everybody farm,
there is plenty of agricultural land to
support population of 300,O00,OOO in
the United States, Texas alone being
capable of maintaining S0,O00,000 peo-
pie if all her arabic land were under
cultivation to cereals, fruits and vege-
tables-Farmer's and Drover's Jour.

Close confinement, with impure air
and lack of exposure, is as prejudicial
to the health of milch cows as to that
of human beings. Some recently pro-
mulgated theories of dark, warm
stables and no exercise for profitable
milk production are without a rational
basis and certain to lead to disas-
trous results sooner or later. Expo
sure to storms and cold Is equally in
furious to the health and profit Of
cows. A judicious mean is the pro.
vision for moderate exercise in the
open air and sunshine, and the appli-
cation of the same common sense care
for the comfort of cows which one
would approve for members of his own
household.

Cows Giving Down MIX.

John Burrows, the well-known scien-
tfst, In regard to cows giving down
their milk says: Many persons think
that giving down or holding up the
milk by the COW is a voluntary act.
In fact, they fancy the udder as a
vessel filled with milk, and that the
cow releases or withholds it just as
she chooses. But the udder Is a
mandatory; 1t is filled with blood,
from which the milk is manufactured
while you milk. This process is con.
trolled by the cows nervous system.
When she is excited or in any way
disturbed, as by strangers or by TAX
ing away her calf or any other cause,
the process is arrested and the milk
will not flow. The nervous energy
goes elsewhere. The whole process is
as involuntary as is digestion in man
and is disturbed or arrested in about
the same way.

Redeeminr a NegIected Cardeu,

NedeemfnE Neglected Garden.
Discouraging as a neglected garden
may appear, 1t is not beyond redemp-
tfon, even so late in the season-but
1t must be taken hold of at once.
Stunted and failing crops, choked by
weeds, should be pulled out at once,
weeds and all, and burned, and the
ground plowed or spaded, and replant-
ed.
How much more satisfactory and
profitable it might have been to have
planted only half the space, and work
ed it well, than to have scattered the
available labor over the entire ground
and do nothing to perfection.
A garden with rows upon rows Of
all the delicious vegetables of mid
summer and not weed to be found,
is indeed pleasant picture. But how
few Of that class are found! Instead
of choice vegetables there are rank
weeds, and where order and beauty
should reign, desolation stares at one
In too many family gardens, caused in
the majority Of cases by simply bit
