Don't shoot toward houses or fields
with long range guns when you are
anywhere near them.
Don't shoot even approximately in
the direction of any one in the woods,
as a glancing bullet may strike them
quite bit to one side of the object
at which you aim.
Don't forget that the smaller rife
or shotgun the more steady you must
hold 1t when you shoot. 1t takes
mighty good shot to do long range
shooting with small target rife.
If-you fall in going down steep hills
or over rough ground don't drop your
gun. Hang onto it and keep che muz-
Gle pointed the other way.
Don't pull your gun after you when
you climb or crawl through barbed

the muzzle away from you.
Don't pull the trigger until you, are

Faith in the American People.

Belief that there is continuous in
crease of this good brand of material
istic wisdom, and confidence in its
certain consequences, are not idle
dreams of optimistic Missionaries, says
%. A. Van yalkenburg in Success
Magazine. They are certainties fore
Swallowed, not to the novices, but to
the shrewdest of the SCARED experts
in the game of practical politics. They
constitute the political creed of the
most useful citizen in America to-day
the short-term pessimists who are
long-distance optimists.
These are the true teachers of the
time. These are the men who see
the rottenness cankering the whole So
cial and business fabric of our modern
civilization, but who never for a mo-
ment are disheartened, because they
know the nature of the plain, every
day, average American; and, by grace
Of that knowledge, the certainty has
been given them of the ultimate tri.
umph in this nation of right ideas and
ideals. They propose to cleanse what
f..Ilness exists, and not to ignore nor
to gid 1t. For they are not deluded
by the ancient lie that whatever is
is right"

Cropping Sod Land.

Sod land1is very good for almost all
crops If the season is seasonably wet
and other conditions are favorable.
One of the worst troubles with corn in
sod land is that the cutworms living
in the sod destroy much of the young
corn. BY blowing sod land for corn
in late fall or early winter many of
the cutworms will be destroyed. Also.
when the land is plowed at this time
the sod will have more time to settle
and decay, and the corn next season
will stand dry weather better. II the
sod must be; plowed again next spring
no harm, but much good, will be DONE
Flowing any land twice for crop or
disking well after blowing is labor
well spent.

When trees are affected with peach
yellow they should be exterminated,
root and branch.
The faster you can make the pullets
grow without putting on extra fat, the
sooner they will begin their life work.
A field of turnips will supply rich
table for the hogs, from which they
can help themselves and grow big and
fat.
To fatten ducks do not allow them
to have access to swimming pool,
as the exercise of swimming keeps
them down.
Choice. hand-ldcked winter apples,
each one wrapped in paper and stored
in a cool place. will keep surpris-
ingly long time.
The bruise of an apple may not at
once develop into rot, but 1t will make
a brown spot which disfigures and less
ems the value of the fruit.
II you don't want to buy tarred pa
per take some rolls Of wall paper lying
around the house and paste over the
cracks. 1t Will make the place very
much warmer.
All like fruit, but too little of it
is found on the farm, many times. Put
in more fruit trees and bushes. The
health Of the family will be better If
there is a generous fruit diet.
It may not be generally known that
soy beans make the finest egg-pro.
ducing food for poultry. The beans
should better be cracked until the
chickens are educated to eat them.
The brood SOW that is mature can,
with safety, raise two filters year,
and can be carried cheaply and easily
from the weaving of the spring litter
to the coming of the fall litter with
out much grain.
I Labor-saving devices are appreciated
more on the farm than ever before.
1t seems almost impossible to get help
to do the necessary work, and we are
obliged to farm differently and to use
mechanical means instead of hand
labor.
Tree Planting to Reclaim Farms.
During the past year $500 acres
have been planted to trees in the
Eastern States by private citizens who
are trying to make the WORKOUT farms
yield again. Many wealthy men be-
lieve that these abandoned farms will
pay well if set in trees and well cared
for. The acreage will probably be
increased greatly this year.
