cline where the days are always bright

cline where the days are always bright
They are making a climate of their
own. And the secret of their cheer is
that they seek out the hidden source
of JOY and strength.
The outer life depends on this inner
living. The surface Of a life only re-
veals its sources. The deeper you
strike in your hold on the great things
of living the higher you may grow.
Joy and strength are the fruitage borne
where the life's roots so deep into
great passions, and ideals.
Do we not often think Of these
CHEEKY lives as possessed Of some pc
culiar superficial geniality, as If they
had somehow managed to avoid the
seriousness Of life to ignore the I'M
port of it's cares and fears? We speak
of them perhaps as light hearted. But
the truth may be the opposite of this ;
their lives are calm and cheerful be
cause they strike deep, they go below
the surface to secret sources.
The riches Of life depend on it's re-
sources. What you have for public
living depends on what you lay up for
yourself in private. The atmosphere
and climate Of your personality is de
termined, not by the latitude of your
residence but by your habits in seeking
out strength and cheer, in reaching out
after high and noble thoughts.
No matter how busy the life may be
there are hours when one is, as it We're
turned in upon himself. To what dc
we look then, upon what do we DWELL
Where do we spend such spirit vaca
tions? The climate of every hour is
here given us; all the way will be light
If here we ask the light; no sunny
skies can chase away our gloom If here
we seek the darkness.
This is the value Of reading the
Bible, it brings you into the presence
and atmosphere of great personalities,
their thinking leads you to visions OF
the light that lies unchanging beyond
our clouds and our alternating day and
night. The value is the same as in all
communion with great souls; new and
high perennial springs Of life are dis
covered.
In every direction great lives are
open to us. In every age and in all
lands there have been those who found
the essential verities that remain I'M
changed through all our seasons and
vicissitudes. Their way to light and
truth is open to us; the way Is barred
only to the selfish and the insincere.
Truly this is simply message, that
the heart makes it's own climate; but
what a difference it would make if we
would but cherish in our hearts all
the light and truth and cheer we may.
if we would share this inner summer
tide, If we would gain the unchanging
sunshine even through our uniting ex
periences.

DoN,rs FOR cHURcHMEN.

Don't forget that rusting is not rest,
ing.
Don't expect to pick up sand by
licking the dust.
Don't practice selfshness If you
would be serene.
Don't shrink from work if you
would cure worry.
If you would not fear for yourself
do not hesitate to cheer others.
Don't practice self-satisfaction If you
would avoid the saddest morality.
Don't try to cure a donkey by de-
gree by calling him doctor"
Don't forget that deeds of golden
hearts are better than dreams Of golden
harps.
Don't make the mistake Of trying to
do the most work by making the most
noise.

Humane Slaughter,r.

In Germany, where the retail moo+
uealer IS usually his own butcher, eff,
lotus are being made-as elsewhere
substitute humane Strengthening for the
old-tlme practices that have caused
nuch suffering. Saxony is taking the
lead, and now has strict laws forbid
olng bleeding until the animals have
peen made unconscious. Cattle and
oeher animals are stunned by blow in
the center of the forehead. usually with
something more certain than the ham
mer or ak of few years ago. MANY
putcners apply the Strengthening mask,
which covers the eyes and has a sharn
bolt that is driven into the brain by a
single blow from a wooden hammer
but less strength and skill are renuired
IN apparatus using powder-one of
these being in the form Of a tube like
telephone receiver, that projects q
bolt when the cartridge is exploded
by gentle tapping, while another fires
a sharp-pointed bullet instead of the
bolt. An improved instrument just in
Ifoduced into England is the poIeax
gun, which has steel barrel in place
Of the striking end of the ordinary pol
eax, with q wire through the wooden
handle for pulling the trigger. In Ger
man, Italian, Swiss and other cities
abattoirs are public institutions, where
butchers go to slaughter their animals
under municipal supervision.

Whitewash the Henhouse.

Every poultryman should give the
henhouse a periodical coat Of lime
wash and the oftener he does it the
better. The matter is very simple
one. If the house is small all you may
want is a limewash brush and q bucket
of water into which a few handfuIls
of quicklime have been put, we'll stir
red together and allowed to settle. The
stuff when put on should be about as
thick as cream. A handful of common
rough salt will help it to adhere to the
walls, a spoonful or two of liquid car
bolic acid will help 1t to do it's muir
derous work on animal life and little
bit Of powder blue (washing blue) will
prevent the white coat turning yellow
by and by.
If the henhouse is large one it will
pay to use sprayer for putting on
the limewash. This is most effective
way of embarrassing any building.

Notes by n Working Farmer,

Notes by Working Farmer.
To make a success of farming avoid
expenses.
Food given to improbable animals
is wasted.
With 8. variety of stock one can util-
ize all foods.
Best breeds do not insure most prof
it without proper treatment.
All foods for plants must be soluble
to be available
1t is the little economies that count
up most in the end.
A high selling price does not lessen
the cost Of production.
Concentrated foods should always
be fed with those more bulky.
It needs faith in your occupation to
bring about complete success.
1t rarely pays to feed for merely
possible increase in price.
Underfeeding stunts growth and
overlooking is a waste of food and of
time.
There is more profit in growing an
animal than in fattening one already
grown.
Profitable feeding consists in giving
an animal all that it will eat and di-
gest properly.
It is not the hardest labor, but the
best directed labor, that accomplishes
the best results.
The nearer an article is put in con-
dition to suit the purchaser the better
it is for the seller.
Good food and shelter pay well in
either case, but always best when CIV
en- to the best stock.
The value of commercial fertilizers
depends ON their containing the ele-
ments which the soil needs.
Profit in farming depends upon three
factors-the cost of production, the
time consumed in producing, and the
price received.

eco. K.V

There's a cap in the closet,
Old, tattered, and blue,
OF very slight value
1t may be to you;
But a crown, jewel-studded,
Could not buy it to-day,
With it's tatters of honor,
Brave "Co. K"
The head that it sheltered
Needs shelter no more
Dead heroes make holy
The trifies they wore;
SO, like a chaplet of honor,
Of laurels and bay,
Seems the cap of the soldier
Marked "Co. K"
Bright eyes have looked calmly
The visor beneath,
Ger the work of the reaper,
Grim harvester Death 3!
Let the muster roll meager,
SO mOurnfully say
How foremost in danger
Went "Co. K"
Whose footsteps unbroken
Came up to the town,
Where rampant and bastion
Looked threat'ningly down?
Who, closing up breaches,
Still kept on their way,
Till guns, downward pointed
Faced "Co. K?"
Like cameras awful
Stood cannon aloof,
Till the signal was given
To strike off a proof
OF the soul of the soldier,
To send up to Him,
(Pray God that he knows il,
Though bloody and dim).
Who faltered or shivered?
Who Stunned battle stroke2
Whose fire was uncertain?
Whose battle-line broke?
Go ask it of history,
Years from to-day,
And the record shall tell you
Not "Co. K"
Though my darling is sleeping
To-day with the dead,
And daisies and clover
Bloom over his head,
smile through my tears
AS / lay it away
That battle-pierced cap,
Lettered Company *"

Hogs are also lower this week,
supply today close to 20 head.
The morning estimate called for
10000 head, and opening sales
were stronger, but the bulk of
sales ruled about 5 lower, top
So. As, bulk $50 to $40, lights
up to $3.50. Shipper buyers
were in the market early today,
and took the highest priced hogs
but packers demanded conces-
sionS when they came out, fore
ing the decline. The strong mar
ket during the last week, togeth-
er with surplus hogs unable to
reach the shipping points lately
on account of storms, and which
are just now getting in, account
for the increased receipts, but do
not fuonlsh any grounds for con-
fidence in a continuance of iber

Sheep and lambs are 10 lower
today, run 5000 head, top lambs
$3.50, yearlings worth $500 to
1913, wethers $500 to 1915,
ewes "a so to S5.15. Sheep feed
ers are following the liquidating-
habits of the cattle shippers this
week, and appear anxious to get
their feed lots empty, thus Civ
ing the packers an opportunity
to enforce the biggest break for
several weeks on all classes this

Kansas City Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec.
IA. 1909
Extraordinary heavy cattle re-
ceipts at all points yesterday put
statesmen utterly to rout and to
add to the bitterness of the en-
forced decline of 10 to 20 cents
on steers, buyers pursued dila
tory and hesitating tactics. An
other good run appeared at all
points today, 10000 head here,
and the market is slow and Shaky
prices called weak to 10 lower.
The market finished bad last
week, and commission men ad-
vised light marketing this week,
but storms and muddy fields and
feed lots have evidently made
conditions so bad in some sec
lions as to Offset the arguments
against rushing heavy supplies
on the market at such an inoppor-
tune time. A few Christmas
steers are selling at $500 to SO
here this week, but aside from
these $7.25 is an outside price
for fed steers, and the bulk of
sales runs from $3.50 to $685..
A big majority of the steers have
been fed only thirty to sixty days
and there are heard some com
plants of feeders losing money
on operations closed out this
week. The belief is prevalent
that the total number of cattle on
feed is short, and that later pric-
eS will be better. The run yes
terday and today here has been
largest on record for any cores
ponding days of the week in any
previous December, while the
supply at Chicago yesterday was
close to the record there for any
previous day in the history of
that market, with most steer
sales there called 25 lower, some
grades 30 to so lower, and most
of the medium class steers so to
90 cents lower than top notch
last week. Cows held up firm
here till today, when they are 1C
lower, at So. 25 to $4.75, heifers
up to $500, bulls $500 to 81. so,
calves firm this week, top veafs
today $3.50, heavy calves around
$500, stockers So, % to $4.85
feeders $500 to 1928.

WANTED-BAD WEATHER.

Ii may seem strange to up

that our watermen are PRAYING
Tor bad weather at the same time
the farmer is making fodder in
this sunshiny season.
There are oysters i'm greater
abundance than for many wears

there * no market. Leaving out
the desultyry prices of last year
IN faithfully exceptional year,.
oysters that today are selling
from 20 to 30 cents have hereto
fore brought 10 To go cents q
buShei-just double. We doubt
that they will ever get back to
those old figures, but "A dull

ruinous.

COOK VERSUS pEARY.

DR.. Cook has landed ia New York,
and been received with oyations. Lieut..
Peary viii reach there shortly. Both
will shortly give out their statements
and proofs as to having reached the
North Pole.
Peary's ATTACK on his rival has won
Cook popular sentiment, added to bv
the iatter's nice manner towards Peary.
Among other things the doctor says:
ga specific record of my journey is
accessible to all, and every one who
reads can decide for himself. When
Peary publishes similar report, then
our cases are parallel. Why should
Peary be allowed to make himself a
self-appointed dictator of my affairs?
In justice to himself, in justice to the
world, and to guard the honor of ma
tional prestige, he should be compelled
TO prove his own case. He should pub
fish at once q preliminary narrative,
to be compared with mine, and let
fair-minded people ponder over the
matter while the final records by which
our cases may be eventually proved
are being prepared.
81 know Peary. the explorer. AS
such he is q hero in Arctic annals. and
deserves the credit of a bong and hard
record. To Peary. the explorer. | am
still willing to tip my hat, but Peary's
unfounded accusations have disclosed
another side to his character which
will never be forgotten.

The Republican party hasn't changed.
1t wants the Crumpscker bill, the tariff
which creates and fosters great trusts
and monopolies, which are the bane of
the country today. 1t wants to con-
tinue in power; it cares nothing foi
Anglo-Saxon supremacy, but it does
care for Republican supremacy. 1t has
offered and can offer no inducement &c
the Democrats of Virginia to enroll
themselves in its ranks.

at least one member of the State Cor.

qualifications are so high that there will
be no criticism of my appointment, blu,

The nominees of the Republican part,
seems to think that his party has dis
covered local option and the county and

to call his attention to the fact that tn,
local option laws were passed by q
Democratic Legislature in 1885, and the
Mann bill by a Democratic Legislature
In 1908; that the city has always been.
and is now, the unit in local option elec-
tons. and that county unit bill was

Democratic House of Delegates in 1908.
