had an intense desire to learn how to
distinguish truth from falsehood in
order that he might be clear about his
actions and that he might be able to
walk surefootedly in this life.
Therefore he resolved to set up what
he termed "a provisional self-govern-
ment." Of which these were to be the

broadly paraphrased by Mr.. Huxley:
First-That he would submit him
self to the laws and religion in which
he had been brought up.
Second-That he would act, on all
occasions which called for action.

Third-That he would seek happi-
ness in limiting his desires rather
than in attempting to satisfy them.
Fourth-That he would make the
search after truth the business of his
life.

when he laid down for himself 'hese

Cuts and Court Plaster.

Many people make the mistake of
using court plaster over a cut. The
plaster closes the wound prematurely,
preventing the natural cleansing OF
the wound and the egress of any par.
ticles of dirt which may have entered.
1t also keeps the edges moist, encour-
aging the pus formation. In the
treatment of cut do not be In to-
much of hurry to stop the bleeding.
Unless an artery is severed. which
becomes evident by the forcible squirt
Ing of the blood, there is no need of
haste. Each moment of free bleeding
aids in rendering the wound antisep-
tic, as the blood coming from within
cleanses the wound better than any
other application. After free bleed
ing has been allowed for a few min
utes let a stream of hot water, which
has previously been boiled, run over
the wound. This will cleanse the
edges and check the bleeding.-Fam-

ing thick seeding tends to prevent it..
Don't imagine that you know it all

Good roads are sometimes, bat not
always, the result of entire neglect on
the part of poor road makers.
The use of trap crops, such as
squashes, gourds or beans planted be-

It's nice to have your supers all
clean, with the foundation fixed in the

need them, put them on.
Many growers do not attempt to
control the melon aphis but leave it to
its natural enemies, of which the lady
beetles are the most important.

CUTTING FODDER R0BS SOIL
When No Equivalent Is Returned Land
Is Left Depleted Of Life-Producing
Chemical Elements.

There is much said now about the
value of corn fodder by those who adj
yocate the use of the silo. 1t is true
that the corn plant at maturity, ex-
elusive Of the ear, contains much valu-
able feed if properly harvested and
stored
Yet experienced ones say that there
are few ways of more quickly killing
the SOL than to grow corn and remove
all the crop by cutting the fodder
1t is good farm practice to cut up
the corn and feed it on the place, pro-
vided that land from which it Is cut
Is Immediately MANFRED to restore the
plant food elements taken from 1t by
the crop.
When no equivalent is returned the
soil is left sadly depleted of its bal
anced chemical store of life-producing
elements.
The ear Of corn, being largely starch
and composed of water and carbon
dioxide, free compounds of the atmos-
phere, does not remove much fertility
from the soil. But the entire corn
plant contains nitrogen, potassium and
phosphorus which the soil can Ill
spare.
These cornstalks should be allowed
10 remain in the field and be plowed
under the following season to return
these vital elements and form soil
humus
Never cut fodder on poor or washy
land. Leaving the stalks in the field
regularly feeds the soil.

on the contrary, vindicated them com
