The Passing Of the Wife.
TRUE COURAGE.

We have known for some time thai
the wife would have to go. We have
held off as long as possible the ID
evitable moment, but 1t might Just
as well be over with at once.
The wife was very desirable ar
ticle while she lasted. She mended
the hose and did the housework when
necessary and sat up patiently and
waited for hubby's return. A usefu
person certainly-one to love, to hon
or and obey.
Now the suffragette age Is upon u
and the wife Is rapidly becoming er
tinct, says Life.
In few more years she will be el
hibited in museums.

marries a man because she is sorr!
for him. But is not that a poor way
to show her sympathy?

You eat food to keep yourself alive.
When you put food into a healthy
stomach it is the duty of that stomach to
extract from the food all of its nutri-
tiouS matter.
This nutritious matter is passed along
TO the blood, and in turn is carried to
and supplies life to every part of the
body.
IL your stomach is upset il does not
extract enough nourishment to supply
the wants of the body, and naturally
disease develops wherever the body is
weakest.
Stomach trouble or indigestion causes
dizziness, biliousness, nervousness, weak
eyes, sick headaches, sleeplesSness,
nightmare, waterbrash, belching of
sour food, foul breath, despondency,
constipation and even loss of energy and
memory.

An Experimeut with Glover.

In our locality the hay crop is ol
prime Importance to farmers. Such
crops as are used in preparation for the
hay crop are merely incidental. Glover
hay is Of the highest value to us, since
we are dairy farmers. In 1909 we seed
ed piece of ground, using oats as
cover crop, so-called. A little expert
ment was tried out. The whole plat
was lined. as was larger area by the
side of the test plat. One-third Of the
plat was left without fertilizer other
than the lime, and two-thirds were given
a dressing of commercial fertilizer. OF
this area of commercial fertilizer, one
half had dressing of complete fertil'
izer, while the other half received only
nitrate of soda and acid phosphate.
Thus on the test plat-one-third had
only lime, one-third lime plus a COM
plete fertilizer, and the last third lime
with acid phosphate and nitrate OF soda.
The seeding was very good on the
whole area, although differences were
noticeable. The following winter we
gave to the whole field dressing OF
stable manure. During 1910 We har-
vested fine crop of clover on this plat
and also on the area by the side OF 1t,
which also grew oats in 1909 and was
lined and manured for the oat crop. 1t
will be seen that we have now under
consideration four areas, three on one
test plat and, in addition, the general
field manured aud lined In 1909. Those
who saw the clover that grew on the
field in 1910 were astonished. People
for quite distance around in all di.
rections were taking about 1t. 1t took
two men to roll away the swaths left
by the mower to allow the machine to
go through on the next trip around.
1t must be noticed, however, that the
field was not all alike. The growth of
clover was many per cent better where
the chemicals had been used than Oh the
plat that had been left untreated.
suppose this may have been due less to
the direct action of the commercial
fertilizer during last season than to the
fact that the young clover plant got a
better start during the previous season.
Our yield on the best of the field must
have been close to four tons to the acre.
Not only was there better growth OF
clover on the plats receiving CONNER
cial fertilizer than on that which did
not receive that attention.. but 1t was
better than on the adjoining field which
had received stable manure the previous
season. There was satisfactory growth
on the whole field but the plats treated
with commercial fertilizer did much the
best.
The question now to be disposed OF
is whether complete fertilizer is need.
ed, or Is 1t sufficient to use one or two
elements only? So far as this test goes
it ID clear that the plat fertilized with
chemicals containing potash was much
the best, there being more than enough
difference to pay the added cost. Be-
sides, the later growth was also better,
and there was a stronger root growth.
Glover is fond of potash, and the addi-
ton of this element seems to be advis.
able in such cases as the one here de-
scribed.-B. H.. Chensngo County, N.

ANECDOTES
OF LINCOLN.

You have heard many stories abodt
the good Abraham Lincoln. who be-
came the president Of his country. And
not only that. He gained nations
love and veneration by the nobility Of
his character and the kindliness Of his
every deed. The poverty of his early
surroundings gave the greater luster
to his magnificent achievements.
1t is interesting to learn how he first
came to read and write and how he
first utilized these accomplishments.
In his home there were but three
books-the Bible the catechism and
spelling book. So greatly did he grieve
over his dear mothers death that his
father at great trouble secured him
volume OF Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Prog.
ress." which he read and reread. hard
ly taking time TO eat or sleep.
Next ho received "Aesop's Fables
as gift, snd he quickly learned many
Of them by heart.
Then there moved into that remote
Indiana clearing young man who
could write. This young man offered
to teach Abe. The eager boy could
hardly wait He made rapid improve
ment and WAS presently covering ev'
cry possible surface with letters which
he traced with bit of chalk or
charred stick In less than a year he
could write II letter.
And he did write one.
He wrote IL to the clergyman they
had known in Kentucky. He asked
him Ia come and preach a funeral ser
mon over the grave Of his mother. Us
there had only been n prayer at the
time Of her burial
In answer came the minister; also
people to hear him from miles around.
This established little Abe as let
ter writer His father was very proud
Of his attainments. After this he be-
came the neighborhood letter writer.
Old men who perhaps had written be-
fore their hands had become shaky
utilized his talents. So did younger
ones.
And tn. same hand that wrote these
childish letters. after many long, strug-
Cling. serious years. by a stroke OF
pen freed whole race for all time

Poultry Institute.

Another opportunity is afforded to the
poultry men of the state to come to-
gether and discuss the problems that
they are meeting at the present time In
their work. This opportunity 10 offered
in the Second Annual Poultry Institute
which is to be held under the auspices
of the Poultry Department, College Of
Agriculture, at the University, on Feb.
2l, 22, %. 1911.
In the past at such meetings as these,
and at others held throughout the state,
q great deal of attention has been paid
to the discussion of the methods of pro-
duction. Realizing that this is only
about half the battle that the poultry
man has to fight, this year particular at
tention is to be given to the discussioo
of markets and methods of marketing.
We need to put our industry, especially
the marketing of poultry products on
better business basis. At the present
time the middle man and the jobber are
making about as much out Of the articles
marketed as the producer himself, and
the general topic of discussion will be
the ways and means of bringing the pro-
ducer in closer touch with the consumer.
A number of specialists from different
parts of the country will be present who
will lead in the discussions, prominent
among whom will be Professor q. c.
Pierce, of the Food Research Labnra'
tory, Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture; Professor +.
c. Elford, Secretary of the Ontario Poul-
try Producers Association; Mr.. A. K.
Jewett, Secretary of the Somerset Poul-
try Producers Association, and others.
Special attention will also be paid to
the question of chick mortality which
is sapping the vitality of great many
of our poultry plants, and the poultry
men of the state are to be congratulated
on having Professor F. q. Stoneburn, of
the Connecticut Agricultural College at
Orono to discuss the question of white
diarrhea. Professor Stoneburn has
been associated with DR.. Rettger of the
Yale Scientific School in the investiga-
tion of white diarrhoea in Connecticut.
1t is expected that he will bring with
him an exhibit of the different cultures
of bacteria causing the disease and also
the ways in which 1t affects both grown
fowl and the chick.
DR.. Raymond Pearl of the Maine Ex-
pertinent Station will give an illustrat-
ed lecture Wednesday evening on Poul-
try and Poultry Plants in Europe, data
on which be collected on his recent trip
abroad.
Professor j. NJ. Bartlett of the Maine
Experiment Station will give an address
on the digestibility of the various poul-
try feeds and will bring out some in
data on the same. A number
of other speakers have been engaged to
take part in the program. A copy of
which will be sent out later. For all
those desiring same 1t would be we'll to
address correspondence to DR.. Leon S.
