it is always fresh and sweet and clean and in
such shape that he can market it when and

Not only has every one of these machines
paid for itself over and over again, but, taken
all together, they have raised the standard of

They have enabled him to cultivate bigger
fields. They have given his family time to
cultivasc their minds and cultivate lawn and
made home the superior in every important
aspect to ninety-hve per cent. of city homes.

HOW ROOSEVELT CUT A CORD
IAN KNOT,

In his now famous series, "Trav-
cling with Taft" running through
each issue of Human Life, Alfred
Henry Lewis in the March number
tells the following: A certain Scotch
English nobleman, one Fraser, who
had commanded in the Boer War,
was with Mr.. Roosevelt socially,
General Crozier, of our own army,
came in per appointment. General
Crozier in his spare moments has in
vented a rod" bayonet. Also he
was urging it's adoption by our
army in lieu of the sword bayonet.
Mr.. Roosevelt had sent for Gener-
al Crozier to come and defend the
device. After talking pro and con,
MIR. Roosevelt said suddenly: We'll,
there's nothing like a test. Aside
from the work your bayonet does,
CroZier, the troops complain that
it's too weak. Suppose we have a
trial"
Mr. Roosevelt sent for a couple
of Springfields, one armed with a
sword and the other with a rod" "
He gave General Crozier the one
adorned with his own invention,
keeping the sword bayonet himself,
Feet well spread, weapon in posi-
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt gave the word.
"On guard there, Crozier!"
The noble North Briton sat aghast.
Surely the head of the greatest ma
ton on the map was not about to
fence with real bayonets against an
experienced soldier! With the best
and most skilful play, with the most
forbearing caution, there was obvi-
Gus peril in it! Either one or the
other might get himself stuck like a
pig! The noble North Briton could
not credit his ears and eyes. Yet
there they were, the President and
the General, fencing, thrusting, par
rying like born foes.
The play went on for full two
minutes. Then there was a rasping
sound, a lock. a twist, and-snap!
The Roosevelt sword bayonet had
broken the CroZier rod" bayonet
short off at the shank.
The enthralled North Briton
heaved a deep breath and came out
of his trance. He tells the tale in
English army circles, where it is
greatly disbelieyed.

THE WORLD GROWS BETTER.

A distinguished professor of phil
osophy who in his youth knew pow
erty and toll, has been telling Boston
that the saints of 100 years ago
would not be tolerated to-day; that
drunkards and slave-traders have
left glamoured names; that there is
more religion in colleges than thir-
ty years ago, and that even politici-
ans are more decent. He is right.
And the improvement is worldwide.
The England of 1910, with its
sld-age pensions and its popular
government, shows more regard for
the people than did the caste-ruled
England of 1900. when the poor
rate rose in some cases to seven
shillings in the pound; or the Eng
land of Macaulay's day, when to be
liberal in politics was to be hope
lessly excluded from all posts of
emolument, from all functions of
dignity. from the opportunities of
business, from the amenities of So
eiety."
The France of 1910, prosperous,
educated, progressive, is a great ad-
vance upon the France of starved
peasants and pampered aristocrats
before the Revolution, to which La
fayette testifes, French manners
and culture as well as French rights
are due; or upon the vile tyranny
and corruption of the second empire.
Upon the continent of Europe all
nations have a pleasanter outlook
than in the AS which so many liv-
ing men remember, when but one
or two little islands of comparative
freedom thrust out from a sea of
despotism. In little things we
cease to think about the advance
which has come. Mrs. Browning, for
instance, described the wonderful i'm

most successful revolution since the

And in America-has religion suf-
fered since in its decay Virginia
churches were turned to barns and
fonts to horse-troughs? Or philan-
thropy since the insane were chain
ed to hitching-rings in nlthy cellars?
Or temperance, since a twelye-quart
pail of whisky bought for S1.25
graced the typical New England
barn" "raising?" Or education, since
Lew Wallace, running away bare

The best way to build up town is,
to stand by every man in the place
who does right. Whenever a man
is doing well do not tear him down.
All residents should be partners, not
opponents. In all livelihoods the
more business your rival does the
more you will do. Every business
man who treats his customers hon
estly. courteously and fairly will get
his share and the more business that
can be secured by united efforts, the
better it will be for all. When a
town ceases to grow it begins to
die, and the more people try to kill
each others business in their town
the more readily will utter ruin come
to all. Stand together for the ad-
vancement of every citizen. If a
man shows ability to prosper do not
pull him back through jealousy or
weight him down through cold in
difference.

Don't imagine for a moment that
advertising will not bring you results
in your Immediate field. That's an
error that many merchants make,
when they assure themselves that
their store is so well known that it
doesn't require newspaper advertis-
ing-that the trade will naturally
drift his way, anyhow. There isn't
q store anywhere in the world that
has so secure a footing as that--not
q single store-and you are not do
ing business in a field but that your
sales can be increased by careful
newspaper advertising. If this is not
true, why is it that a stream of mail
orders is constantly going out Of
your town to catalogue houses? And
are not these sales made by these cat
alogue houses the result OF persistent
advertising in the very field you feel
that you have cultivated to the limit?
Whenever you get such an idea fixed
in your mind, and really believe
that there's nothing more to conquer,
you are simply turning over ready
money to the man that does possess
the broader vision-you are ceding
territory and rights to others that
careful newspaper advertising would
retain in your possession.

THE SEAT OF FEAR.

A French surgeon has located the
sensation of fear in a nerve which
stretches upward from the medulla
oblongata at the back of the neck in
to the cerebelium, that part of the
brain at the base of the head. The
larger and more developed this nerve
the more timorous and melancholy
is the possessor, for it acts as tele-
phone wire over which the alarms
are sent. With this wire cut the
craven becomes a hero for no alarms
can reach him. The doctor was led
to this conclusion, says Science Sift-
ings, by the case of man who lost
the sensation of fear after an injury
about the head, and afterward he
confirmed his theory by experiments
on animals.-New York Tribune.

March settings should not contain
more than eleven eggs, for when a
larger number is given the hen can
not sufficiently cover them to inn

too many eggs are placed in the nest,
