KEEP A LEVEL HEAD.

Students of universities and col
leges. just beginning to face the prob
lens of real life, upon receiving their
first honors among their associates
are likely to permit their heads to be
turned thereby. Continued success
often brings permanent pride When
tnis pride seizes the individual it is
noted by his comrades and silently
criticised. This silent criticism soon
develops into contempt.
Men in all walks of life, at one time
or another find themselves placed in
circumstances in which pride strives
to assert itself as master. But the
true man never allows pride to be-
come his master. Neither does he allow
it to dominate his feelings nor his
disposition toward others Even in
the midst of resplendent success. he
does not allow any Interpretation OF
events which would bring pride to him
self He is ever willing and eager to
attribute his success TO the efforts OF
others.
No matter what success may attend
an individual. the relations which ne
formerly heiu Win HIS companions
in the least Resnec, honor and love
are d,a those coo,-hcaded ,acn who
proserva the same balance hn,h in
adyeysiry and in success.

effect this by absorbing and removing
the gases dissolved in the molten metal.
But they render another important
service also by adding, by their pres,
ence in small quantities, to the tensile
strength of the steel. Ferrosilicium,
for instance, when employed as a re-
ductor. increases the strength of the
steel about 10 per cent. Calcium also
has an excellent effect, and with van
adium the strength of the steel is
sometimes doubled. Vanadium also
greatly increases the resistance of steel
to the effects of vibration, and conse-
quently vanadium-steel is largely EN-.
ployed for the manufacture of automo-
bile machinery.

Feeding. Horses.

1t is generally believed that horses
must not be fed clover hay for fear Of
the heaves This Is a mistake If the
horse Is given the proper quantity Of
clover and not overfed there Is no
danger of the heaves. A horse should
never be fed more than he will eat up
clean, either grain or hay. Without
doubt oats Is the best general food
for horse, and goes well with tim
othy hay. A good change Is to once
or twice week give a feed of corn
and clover with bran mash. When
a horse does not clean up his feed 1t
is best to try change. Feeding and
watering should be done at regular in
tervals. the watering always before the
eating. Above all things, do not give
horse water Immediately after eat
ing. 1t should never be given before
at least an hour after he has finished
his meal.

Quick Poultry Fattening.

The theory on which crate fattening
is encouraged is that hen will digest
more food than she will eat. Shredded
wheat will put the fat on at ms low a
cost as Az cents per pound. The Sec
tions of our crates are two feet wide,
two feet high, twenty-seven inches
long, three sections to crate; five
birds to section, says a bulletin of
The Connecticut Experiment Station.
These have to be very carefully fed so
that the appetite will not be hurt.
Careful attention has to be given not
only to what they are fed, but when
and how often the feed is offered TO
them. Equal quantities of cornmeal,
ground oats and shredded wheat mixed
with skim milk consistency of good por-
ridge in front of them for few min
utes, every twelve hours for two days.
Next evening let them eat their ill.
Next day feed In the morning not
enough to satisfy them. AT night, all
they will eat. At the end Of the sec.
ond week give moor feed Of just a
little. The third week give all they
want at noon. Next week add little
tallow. perhaps half pint Of tallow
to fifteen birds. Give little grit from
time to time.
II growing broilers give them large

Keeping Soil in Good shape.

when there Is plenty of moisture in
spring. followed by dry and hot
weather during June and July. the con
dition is Just right for spelling the
soil, especially If untimely plowing has
ieIt the helds in a badly baken condi-
ton. II the result of such conditions
lasted but one season the matter would
not be so serious, but it has frequently
been observed that land badly puddled
and subsequently hard baked can not be
retrieved in many years. 1t is harder
10 reduce such soil than the toughest
hard-pan. In fact, it will require sew
eral seasons Of careful work to bring
these soils into good condition again.
1t Is bad practice to stir ground
when 1t is wet, yet it is done every
spring. Crops are puddled in every
year, and 1t Is wonder that we get
any crops at all from these fields.
such fields are the first to dry up
when summer droughts strike us. for
capillarity has been so completely de-
stroyed that the crops can not draw
upon the water reserves, and the ele-
ments needed for growth of the crops
are so securely locked up in the clods
that they are not available.
1t Is the natural tendency of all soil
to become iirmer. 1t is tamped down
by even the gentlest rains, and beating
rains will render it almost impervious
to water. Good farming must undo
this work by breaking up these crusts
and keeping the soil in good condition.
All practical farmers know that soils
are best by being plowed and cultivated
at just the right time, but not many
have the patience to stand by, when
the season is getting late, or put off
cultivation and allow weeds to get the
upper hand. Brown says there is more
to be gained by properly working our
soils than in fertilizing them.
