BACK TO THE LAND"

The writer has lately run across two
Or three concrete instances of this
back to the land" movement where it
was painfully apparent that the ones
taking the step should have rented
half acre near their old home and
worked it nights and mornings. This
would have enabled them to determine
whether there were in their makeup
those qualities which would make it
possible for them to hold permanently
that rosy view of agriculture and hor-
ticulture that is pictured in the maya
zines and which has such subtle fas-
cination for Abe man who is wearied
with the smoke, the racket and strain
Of city life. If any one having this
back to the land" hankering will
painstakingly tend a half acre of
onions or other intensive crop, doing
the bulk of the wedding, the cutivat-
Ing and harvesting himself, and after
doing this still looks upon the filling Of
the soil with Zest and favor, it is fair
to assume that he would succeed if he
tensive scale. There are backache,
sheer WEAKNESS. gnaWing hunger "a
blessing) and often restless nights for
the man with the hoe" and all who
have i'll mind taking up such work
should have these facts in view before
taking the step Then, again, aside
from ones willingness to- do hard
work, there is sometimes painfully lack
ing what may be termed adaptability
or knack. This was shown in one of
the instances referred to above, where
a fine young fellow was just crazy over
the orchard business when the fact
was that at the end of two months
apprenticeship he couldn't harness a
team and get the breeching on the
right end to save his giZzard. He sim
| ply lacked the ability to "catch on
and in short time re-entered the
banking business, which he left in his
movement to the land" We would
not by any word discourage any read
ers of these notes who long to have Il
'home on the land" but would only
utter such word of caution as will
cause them to have their eyes wide
open when they take the step. There
is hard work, yet competence. health
and cOntentment, for those who till
the soil. There should be more folks
engaged in it.

DOCTORS FAILED.

Catarrh of the Lungs

Miss Ninette Porter, Braintree, Yer

much and would never have cured me.

STEER
CALVES IN WINTER.

The problem of feeding cattle prom
Uses this winter to be interesting.
An abundance of corn, however,
somewhat lower in price than for the
past few years, with cheaper oats and
a pretty fair hay crop point to profit
In feeding cattle during the season Of
1901, says the American Agricultur-

young beef steers on hand or can get
them at a reasonable price can do no
better than give this matter of cattle
feeding during the winter very full
and complete consideration.

Some "short cuts" are commendable;
then again. others are not. We ran
across an instance of the latter kind
the other day. 1t had to do with a
young fellow who seemed to be dis
couraging in himself the inclination to
honest toll. He thought he would try
his hand at a short cut, so Intercepted
nine dollar money order, forged it.,
and at the present writing he is in Il
nearby Jail awaiting action by the
grand jury. His youthfulness may lead
the authorities to consent to compro.
mise otherwise he is likely to do two
or three years in the pen. It's a
mighty rocky road this young fellow is
setting out on. The short cut" he
counted on bids fair to be much longer
and much more difficult than he
thought.

FRUITS AS FOOD.

Some food analyses which have been
made by the California, North Dakota
and some other experiment stations
show quite clearly that apples and
other fruits have a food value that
should commend them for use in the
average family entirely apart from
the fact of their fine flavor and the
relish with which, they are eaten by
the average person. These expert
ments show that fruits are fairly cheap
sources of energy ana are to be com
mended on the ground Of economy for
combination in proper quantities with
cheap prOteid foods to furnish a bal
anced ration. 1t has been found that
10 cents worth of fresh apples used
ps food furnish 1,4G7 units of energy
to the body. 10 cents worth Of porter
house steak furnishes 444 units, while
10 cents worth of dried beans fur
nish S92 units or calories From
this it will be seen that apples as well
as other fruits are To he favored be-
cause of their food values. entirely
apart from the fact that they are pref
ty to look at, fine favored and have a
wholesome effect on the digestive proc
esses.

During a season when typhoid fever
seems to be more prevalent than for
many years it is worth while repeating
some of the precautions given in these
notes some months ago. The chief
sources of infection are through food
and liquids taken into the system, and
of these the most prolific are drinking
water, milk and oysters which come
from beds where city sewage is
dumped. The only way to be on the
safe side is to boil all water and milk
used and to thoroughly cook oysters
and any other article of food that
might contain the germs. Another pre-
caution of equal importance where
there is a typhoid patient in the house
is the use of the utmost care in disin-
fecting all of the patients sputa, ex-
creta and urine. These are not pleas
ant things to talk about, but many a
life has been lost from this scourge
through lack of proper attention to
these simple precautions.

Now and then a wooden silo blows
over during summer storms when it is
empty. The other day a big cement
block silo ut one of the Illinois state
institutions which was being filed
with silage split and collapsed because
the structure was not REINFORCED at in
tervals with steel Orders or rods Of
some description. The loss sustained
in the last instance was about $1,000,
covering the damage to silo and loss of
silage, but it furnishes a valuable OBJ
ject lesson in silo construction.

The writer has had occasion of late
to make inquiry into the rating of
some young men who have been desir-
GUS OF securing loans of banking
houses, and It is interesting as well as
instructive to note some of the factors
which the average banker takes into
account before extending loan.
Among these may be mentioned the
amount Of money which the prospec-
tive borrower has saved-in other
words, his present financial status. An.
other and very important considera-
ton, linked with the above and deter
mining it, is the habit which one has
acquired in the handling of his earn
ings, whether saving them or spending
them carelessly without thought of
the future, Another is the habits
which the prospective borrower has ac-
quired along the line of steadiness,
push and promptness in meeting obli-
cations assumed. 1t is due to these
and other reasons why one man can
get an accommodation at bank and
others cannot, and it is a pity that
more young men do not realize the fact
early In their career when the acquir-
Ing Of habits Of industry and thrift
will mean ultimately success or failure
in business way. The lack in such
fellows is that they have little ambi-
ton to be anything and have nothing
In the future toward which they are
working energetically and with a well
defined purpose.

We have attended more than one
farmers institute where men were
present who were very successful in
their special lines and chock full of
good ideas, but who through modesty
or embarrassment when on their feet
wouldn't volunteer sentence. To
elicit information from just such fel-
lows as these there should he con
certed effort on the part of csc in
charge of the sessions by making a
list of the bashful farmers and putting
such questions to them as would bring
out the desired information. Men of
this type will answer questions with
out much embarrassment who would
be scared stiff if they were to get on
their feet and speak voluntarily.

While there is some evidence tending
to show that silage fed steers do not
possess quite as firm flesh as those dry
fed on hay or corn fodder, there is at
the same time no evidence tending to
show that silage fed steer brings any
less when fitted for market than one
given the dry feed. This is a question
that may have arisen in the minds Of
many who are about to build silos for
dairy and stock feeding purposes.

With the manure spreader costing
from 500 to S125, depending upon make

an attempt is made to follow agricul-

whether one can afford to buy one, but,
rather whether he can afford to be
