corresponding in & way to the plan
furnished by the architect to builder
1t is often said that a farm cannot
be planned as other kinds OF business
are; that the vicissitudes Of weather,
the visitations of insect pests or plant
diseases the low prices that may pre-
vail when the farmer has to sell and
other unforeseen circumstances may
interfere to make all farm plans al
most worthless from practical stand
point
This is often quite true with refer
ence to plans made for particular
year. But when the plans are based
on average conditions for long Sc
ries OF years then the objections do
not hold, for, while we cannot tell
what may happen during any partIcuF
lar season, we can foreteil with con-
siderable accuracy what the average
conditions will be over series, say,
Of ten years. The whole business OF
insurance is based on the reliability of
averages. 1t cannot be foretold just
who out of a thousand persons will
die next year, but it can be stated
with much certainty about how many
persons out of the thousand will die.
Plans for the farm likewise must rep
resent and be based on average condi-
tons and not on single years. The
farm plan must be made for period
Of years and not for single year.
In replanning farm 1t is essential
that a few fundamental points in
farming be kept constantly in mind:
First.-The plan should provide a
reasonable reward for the labor and
capital invested.
Second.-The fertility Of the farm
should be maintained or increased.
Third.-The plan must be suited to
the capabilities of the owner for car
rying it out.
It is assumed that in order to replan
farm for profit it is necessary to
consider the capabilities of the farmer
to put the new plan into effect. This
in general will render it necessary to
recombine the phases of farming with
which he is already familiar or to
bring in new features which are not
very dissimilar to the ones he is al

An Innocent at Large.

A Philadelphia young man whose
pocketboek is of bullying size visited
the exposition in Seattle in 1909. He
had a good education and was out at
Seattle alone, away from the eyes Of
his loving mother.
Concluding that he could not go
home without buying her a present,
he went to store, selected the gift
and asked the price.
"Four bits" was the answer of the
storekeeper.
WRAP it for me, and TIL call for it
later" said the gentleman.
Going out of the store, he walked to
an old junk shop where for a small
sum he purchased four horses bits
and had them wrapped up.
Returning to the store, he deposited
the package upon the counter and
picked up the souvenirs with the re-
mark, 81 have read about the south
sea islanders using shells and the In

mated against in scoring exhibits. The
seed should be deep, but it must also
be Of medium width and thickness, for
upon this depend the size of the germ
and the amount of food stored in the
seed for the early maintenance of the
plant But sometimes seeds Of good
width and thickness have small germs
and should therefore be rejected in ia
vor of seeds of the same form, but
with larger germs.
Badly matured seeds sometimes pre-
sent small, blister-like eminences over
the germ, due to q separation of the
cuticle from it's attachment. Again, if
the whole area over the germ is deeply
sunken it indicates lack of maturity
and consequent excessive shrinkage.
Failure Of the grain to separate readi-
~ from the cob is another indication
of lack Of ripeness. A brown or pink
discoloration about the germ or the at
tached end of the seed is very objec-
tionable, as is also the presence ot
mold or rotten seeds.

Mixed His Poetry.

Mixed metaphors, observation-disclosures
and inattention have caused many
laughable Incidents Teachers in the
elementary grades of the public
schools especially hear many of these
amusing breaks"
One day bright youth in one Of the
higher grades of Kensington school
during an elocution period furnished
an addition to the long list. He mixed
up two poets with result that pro-
voked much laughter in the school
He quoted, or, rather, misquoted, as
follows:
oh, woman, in our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy and hard to please;
But, seeing too oft, become familiar with
her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

JUDGING Corn Seeds.

One of the first points judge of
corn should give attention to is the
seed condition of samples. Is the
germ sound. and will it produce a
good plant? A termination test is the
best means of settling these questions,
but unfortunately cannot be employed
while one is judging corn shows. The
farmer should test every ear he plants.
If the germ is slender and small the
plant is likely to lack vitality. Thin
seeds tapering to their attachment pro-
duce weak germs, and consequently
ears with such seeds must be discrim-

Salt For the. Animals.

Salt is necessary to the health and
thrift Of domestic animals, and they
should have it in winter as well as in
summer. They need more of it proba-
bly, during the period Of abundant sue
culent feed, but the animal system re-
quires more or less of it all the time.
A good plan is to keep salt in shell
tered boxes where the stock can get at
it at will. This is safeguard against
neglect, and, being accustomed to it at
pleasure, there is no danger that too
much will be taken.

mich Aristocrats.
Big feet in a woman may be bean
tiful. but most people need to be edu-
Gated up to approaching them. Ridi-
Guile is therefore being leveled at a so
ciety formed by some ~aristocratic la
dies of Munich which has for its OBJ
ject the cultivation of big feet.
The society will preach the gospel
that big feet in a woman are not only
healthful. but beautiful.
The founder of the society is the
Austrian Baroness Mohn. She de-
clares that she made this important
discovery about feet while touring in
the Bavarian highlands. and she was
led to start the reform movement as
the result of witnessing the efforts of
many women to climb mountains in
lace dresses and French shoes with
high heels.
Despite the sneers of newspapers
the society has several hundred mem
bers. These have pledged themselves
to appear everywhere, yer at court
functions and dances. IN the biggest
possible shoes. with sturdy heels. and
they further undertake to bring UP
their children on the same principles.

Temple theatre on Tuesday, Oct. IS,

sprightly and brisk shows that move
with great swiftness from curtain
to curtain, and it is a perfect tonic
in it's effect upon an audience. In
Chicago, it proved to be one of the
funniest farces ever seen, and the
audiences were convulsed with laugh
ter from beginning to end. The song
numbers, which are numerous were
staged by Gus SOhlke, who also Sc
lected and trained the chorus. The

W0MEN'S RISE O. K, SAYS
KAISER, BARRING POLITICS.
Suffrage Indication of country's Hope
less Decadence His Belief.

The kaiser recently seized an oppor-
tunity of ventilating his views on the
feminist movement, and the substance
Of his utterance has been made pub
lie, presumably with his permission.
The kaiser used to be credited with
limiting woman's sphere to three de-
partments-church, children and kitch-
en-but if that vas yer true he seems
to have changed his opinions, for it
is said that he views with profound
sympathy the general movement pro-
ceeding in all the civilized countries
of the world for the amelioration of
the position of women. including high
er education.
He believes in technical education
for women and the invasion of differ
ent businesses and professions by
women, holding that In the present
numerical proportion of the sexes this
is inevitable and could not be denied
to women without grave injustice to
them.
Consequently women lawyers, WON
en- doctors. women dentists and women
in many other branches of activity
may count On the kaiser's approval.
In brief, the kaiser is a supporter of
every phase of the new woman move
ment, with the single exception of its
political aspect. He is a resolute Op-
ponent Of woman suffrage. He abhors
the idea of women in political life.
The introduction of woman suffrage
in any country appears to him to be
an unmistakable sign of hopeless de-
cadence and decay. Women in poll
tics would. he thinks. be the beginning
of the end of any country.
