When he wrote Girls he had an

means, but which he managed to give
some originality by his clever hand-

For Drunkenness.

From German village comes a most inter-
esting story OF novel cure for drunkenness
A newiy-married Czech fwhatever that is) gave
way to drink and created nnseemIy disturb
ances in the house in which lived All
efforts to induce him to give up The habit were
In vain. Even corporal punishment admins
tered by person OF whom he stood In awe
had effect.
A little boy in the house In which he lived
had magic lantern given to him on his birth
day, and II occurred to OF the tenants
that the present might be utilized in curing
the drunkard who was known to be OF a super
stitious character
Among the pictures shown by the lantern
was one representing n drunkaru In the hands
of the devil. The drunkard supposed to
be his way to the place OF torment.
The man came home drunk usual one
night. and reaching his door thrown
into a state of CONSERVATION on seeing this
awful picture. He Immediately eank on his
knees and began to pray to the appartion for
forgiveness He promised there and then that
he would give up all connection with the other
devil" He has kept his word
1t might be good idea to try this practice
in this country.--Greeneville Daily Piedmont

Editorial Troubles.

When the editorial writer comes down to
work, pees off his coat. comments on the wealth
er to the, man In the next celr and sits down
for the days work, the lineup which con-
fronts him may be summarized follows
Tariff
I.orimer.
Steel Trust.
Roosevelt.
Taft.
Mexico.
Heat waves.
Graduates.
Safe-sane celebrations.
These are the general topics and from these
with whatever local additions may be garnered
must be selected the editorial for the
hungry readers
Innumbered columns have been written
the subjects outlined Who OF the fourth es-
tate has not pointed out the answer to all tariff
questions? Who has not denounced or defended
Lorimer? At the hands OF what newspaper has
the steel trust escaped the castigation that its
methods so surely invite? And down the
line. We get along the beaten paths and walk
on the shady side these hot days. The editorial
writer's may not go vacations but must
almost conclude that their love FOR the Infinite
variety does.
1t Is the same in Medicine Ha. and New
York. They are all having their troubles these

And it's hard task. This proves it.--Fort

Let them correspond rather freely

sweat by high wind almost as deep
as the pillow cut. AS rule, fall plow-
ing sandy soil will not do, as the soil
drifts too badly.
Nowadays, when man has money
to spend on fixtures for modern
house, he is inclined to ape old-fash-
Toned style. A fireplace may adorn
one corner of the old-style room, and
bare joists show overhead, although,
of course, polished and shined with
varnish. The last time l sat by a
fireplace my eyes were so dimmed
with smoke that l didn't get over it
for week, so modern heating fix
lures are good for me.
Cork bricks laid in hot asphalt is

FARM BURROWS.
Farmer and Stockman.

Farmer and Stockman.
A heavy fall Of snow accompanied
by strong wind makes the work OF
doing chores rather disagreeable.
Carrying corn fodder from the stack
and into the barn on day OF this
kind leads almost anyone to see some
good points about a silo that he never
saw before.
No one knows the real value of a
windbreak better than those who
have planted the trees and tended
them from the beginning until they
were big enough to hold back the
winter winds and make it seem as
though the whole farm had been
moved 100 miles farther south.
Horses, colts and young cattle find
some feed in the stalkfields when the
weather is fine and the work horses
seem to enjoy the freedom from the
harness, but it is doubtful if it pays to
allow the milk COWS to leave the yard
after they have cleaned up the corn
left by the husker unless it may be on
sunny days when the temperature is
we'll above the freezing point in the
shade.
That some of those who built silos
this last season need some "book
larnin' on the subject Of feeding
silage is quite plain. have in mind
one who insisted that the proper way
was to open the lower door and feed
from the bottom, but he was finally
convinced that this was wrong before
trying It. Another, to make short
work of throwing down the silage,
iabbed his fork down the full length
of the tines and pitched the forkfuls
down without trying to keep the sur
face smooth and level. The result
was that he spoiled a great deal Of
good feed before learning his lesson,
but he learned it.
The open season for hunting hired
men lasts until about March LIST. The
hunters do not need a license, but
they need fat bank account and a
good reputation for square dealing
A reliable guide could make good
money in this field without running
the risk Of being shot by being mis-
taken for a rabbit.

It is said that a singed cat never
gets too close to a hot stove again.
That's the way many have acted
about buying shoats at the sales, since
getting let down so badly three years
ago. Not over two months ago l saw
175-pound shoats sold at a sale that
would have made the purchaser a
clean profit of at least SO head by
this time, but two months ago every
one was looking for a grand slump in
hog prices.
The weather prophets already have
the weather for 1911 down pat. They
say-that is, one set of them do-that
1911 is going to be very peculiar
crop season, caused by the unusually
large number of sunspots. Prophets
say sunspots have a peculiar effect on
the weather, but l never yet saw
where one explained the reason.
There is a reason for all things, so
like to have the reason accompany
the assertion.
Heat expands and cold contracts.
do not know whether this is the
reason it is possible for man to con-
tract cold, but l notice that some of
the telephone wires contracted so
much during the recent cold they
broke from the strain. 1t was a
strain on some of the town fellows to
come out in the cold to fix them.
The cold weather has started a
tank heater inquiry. A reader wants
me to tell him the name of the best
tank heater. There are several that
are in the best class, in fact, any is
good that does the business. Many
speak highly of the gasoline-heated
tank heater, claiming they are handler
than any other kind. l cannot say as
to this, but any kind that furnishes
heat enough to take the icy chill off
the water is a godsend.
One of my friends says he has no
use for a tank heater-couldn't use
one if there were a dozen on his
farm This friend has a gasoline
pumpking engine that pumps water
into tank from which there is a re-
turn pipe to the we'll. In cold wealth
err no water is left in the tank, the
surplus from each watering being let
back into the well. A few minutes
before watering the engine is started
and the water is then the temperature
of the we'll. In the summer the wa
ter is also made cool for the work
teams by also pumping it fresh.

know of many farmers who sleeE

chase is good for it, and that paying
their earnings in to liquidate the debt
is better than depositing it in bank.
