Hints ON Hog Raising.


The white breed of hogs is gradual
ly disappearing.
Salt buried a few inches in the
ground in certain spots will attract
the hogs and conf1ne them pretty close
ly to such places
1t is natural for hog to root, but
If you want to prevent him from do
ing so simple ring In the snout will
answer the purpose.
1t is a great mistake to mark hog
by mutilating his ears. Better use
metal tag.
Successful hog raisers will always
have clover or alfalfa pastures for
their animals.
Every hog pasture ought to have an
open shed on a high point Of ground
for shelter from the hot sun. Leave
all sides open so the air can pass over
them.
Keep the pigs growing from the day
they are born until they so to the
Strengthening pen.
The man who imagines that he can
produce fat and lean bacon in streaks
by feeding one week and starving the
next will be disappointed.

Keen the Road Drag Going.

Bad roads are an extravaganza that
no farming community can afford.
Just what they cost in unnecessary
expenses it takes but moment to de-
termine.
A team and driver are reasonably
worth So a day, and by the use of
these it is possible to deliver to mar
ket from your home 100 bushels OF
corn. Hauling over good roads, the
cost of delivery is 3 cents per bushel
But if. in consequence of bad roads,
but fifty bushels can be delivered, the
cost is doubled and the difference Is
what the impossible roads cost you.
Continue this calculation, applying it
to the hauling of all your crops, and
if quickly becomes apparent that 1t
amounts to a very burdensome tax.
Good roads help in every way; they
nromote sociability by making friends
and relatives accessible, and by means
If them it Is easier to reach the
schools and churches and to generally
do and enjoy the things which make
life really worth living.

sources are developed. external aids

sources are developed, external aids
fall from us. We learn IN time to
bless the hand that seemed so cruel
when it thrust US from some sheltered
nook and compelled us to battle with
naked fists against the world.
When the true man is left destitute
it is surprising to see how much re-
will, memory, Imagination, his power
to create and TO conquer, to make
riches of the heart, to win friends, to
enter into fellowship with the spirits
of all ages. to appreciate and possess
the universe of the things that are
eternal and imperishable.
Destitution of things Is the fate that
awaits us all; some may know 1t often
during life; in some measure losses
must be in every life, while all must
some day lose the grip on things, must
bid farewell to all possessions and car
ry out Of this stage Of being only their
own selves. 1t were we'll for US II we
learned to see IN this not despoiling
but a discovery of better and greater
treasures.
He would be a foolish man who
cared only for the apple blossoms and
nothing for the coming fruit. We
would count him fool who continued
in manhood to pour out exclusive affec-
ton on childhoods toys. Yet that Is
just what many of US are doing. living
for the passing and the trivial, and
so losing the eternal and truly valu-
able.
Life Is just the chance to get rich
In this way and to have self that
enriches the ages Neither pain nor
poverty nor even death has terrors to
those who know how little any Of these
can take from him. The secret Of life
Is the discovery of this life which is
eternal because above the Ills and ac-
cidents of time.
The evil days must come. Happy are
they who can view them with equa-
nimity, because they are rich in the
things beyond their reach; though the
barns may be empty and the bank &C
count fail, they look within and find
quiet thoughts, memory stretches like
fair land behind, and they hold com
munion with the great and good Of
all days. Faith, and hope, and love
are theirs.
These are the abiding things the
unfading riches, the perennial bios
SONS, the streams that flow forever and
follow us all through the desert. They
are so easily had that the wonder is
that any are poor, and he who has
them can never know restitution or be
utterly lost.

SERMoNETTES.

Sorrow is the teacher OF sympathy.
There are no saints without service.
Most remorse comes from despising
rebuke.
The good lives are always looking to
better ones.
Burning thoughts never come from
hot heads.
Nothing feels the lack of exercise
quicker than piety.
He who fears to be called a coward
is sure to be fool.
The holiness that seems to hurt you
cannot help the world.
Religion is our attempt to discover
the meaning of life.
He has share in good deed who
cheers another on to it.
Temptation may be good discipline,
but 1t makes poor diet.
Some who talk with JUNCTION on
working for sinners are but working
the saints.

The Apple Barrel.

# stood in the cellar low and dina,
Where tho cobwebs swept and sway
ed,
Holding the store from bough and
limb
Al the feet OF autumn laid.
And oft, when the days were short
and drear
And the north wind shrieked and
roared,
We children sought in the corner here,
And drew on the toothsome hoard.
For thus through the long, long win
ter-tine
It answered our every call
With wine Of the summers golden
prime
Scaled by the hand OF fall.
The best there was of the earth and
air,
OF rain and sun and breeze,
Changed to a pippin sweet and rare
By the art OF the faithful trees.
4 wonderful barrel was this, had we
Its message but rightly heard,
Filled with the tales of wind and bee,
OF cricket and moth and bird;
Rife with the bliss OF the fragrant
June
When skies were soft and blue;
ThTonged with the dreams of q mar
vest moon
Der fields drenched deep with dew.
Oh, homely barrel, Ia fam essay
Your marvellous skill again;
Take me back to the past, | pray,
AS willingly now as then
Back TO the tender morns and ewes,
The nOontides warm and still,
The fieecy clouds and the spangled

Of the orchard over the hill.

After all, even when It seems that
the worst has happened TO us, we come
to know that it IS not the worst; that
there are deeper depths Of misery and,
what is more important, that there re-
main to us possessions Of value great
er than all we have lost. The storms
that sweep down on us have no power
to uproot our trees of life.
Like old Job, we may b5 thrown
upon the dunghill. bereft Of our kin
and friends. despoiled Of our posses
sions, and racked with pain, and still
the spirit rise victorious and memory
and imagination discover comforts and
resources that put to rout the pessim-
fsms of the prosperous and the pain
free.
Blessed be the Universities that un-
cover the real riches of life We might
never know the real value but for the
loss Of unworthy things we have val
ued too highly; we might never know
how rich we really are but for the
harsh hands that despoil us OF that
which we once counted as riches. The
piercing sorrows are the ones that
break through the crust OF life and
open the worth under the surface.

he passed and stepped with one foot
in the water to fill his cup. Buell. said
quietly but decidedly. Take your foot
out, sir"
Still STOPPING, the six-footer looked
up and said:
you go to Greenland's icy noun
tains I don't want any quartermas-

For an instant the commander of
the Army of the Ohio was stunned by
the unexpected reply Then he said
quietly but emphatically:

The man gave the general a glance
of admiration and said quickly:
