Are We More Supcrstitjous?

Prof. Flinders Petrie, who is prob
ably the greatest living authority Oh
Egyptology, says that the present age
seemed to be becoming more and more
superstitious.
''It is a remarkable thing that men
and women Of today place their faith
in mascots, while the professional for
tune tellers are reaping rich harvests
in the west end" he said.
'In all classes of people, among the
well-to-do as Well as the poor. there is
this strange belief in 'swastikas' and
lucky and unlucky things
During the past IL months have
been specially noting the superstitions
and fancies Of the present age, and
have been greatly surprised to find
what a hold these savage ideas have
en- numbers of people
Perhaps the reason is that many
occupations seem to depend on
chance, and not on the continuous
will and steady, hard work of the sub
ject"-London Mirror.

FARMERS GOING BACK EAST
May Advantages Offered Worn Out
Farms by Adoption of Modern
Methods of Agriculture.

A good many men at the present
time are going east Tin many instances
these were farmer boys back east be-
fore they grew up and went wesD and
buying worn out, rocky homesteads
that have been abandoned, hoping with
the money and ideas they gained in
the west to make themselves wealthy
on the abandoned acres near the big
eastern markets.
There should be great opportunity
for active young agriculturists with
modern agricultural training in the old
eastern states. Many farms there have
been abandoned because Of the de-
pleted condition Of the soil and the
fact that competition with the fresh
lands of the west was improbable on
standard crops.
1t is said that at the present time
nearly 1000, 900 acres of idle farm land
is lying along the boundary line be-
tween New York state and Pennsyl
vania. Surely, with the great markets
at the very door of these lands, there
are for the eastern farmer wonderful
possibilities.

GARDEN ana
FARM NOTES

Keen tools save time, labor and dc
most efficient work.
The man with the silo is not worry
ing over winter feed.
Anything that reduces the cost OF
maintenance increases the profit
AS general rule, potatoes should
be planted on fresh ground each year
A 160-acre farm with a silo will pro
.Iuce as much revenue as 1S0-acr<
.arm without.
Deep blowing increases the soils
water-holding power, also its plant
feeding power.
The corn that shells off while husk
ing can be saved if a coal shovel il
used in unloading.
It's a shame TO let vast amount
of feed go to waste each year by not
using the corn stalks.
Asparagus is a hardy plant. Z
does not need winter mulch to kea
if from being killed by freezing.
More alfalfa means more home
grown feed and smaller feed bills. Il
naturally leads to better profits.
The garden truck, which mos,
farmers allow to waste at this season
of the year, can be turned into big
profits by feeding them to the hogs
cattle and poultry.

TIME FOR LINING PASTURES
Late Fall Is Best as Winter Rains
viii Work 1t Into SoiI-Spread as
Soon as Air-Siackeo.

The latter part of the fall is the best
rains and SHOWS will gradually work
it into the soil. A medium dressing,
about 40 bushels or air-slacked lime
spread to the acre, is about the tight
quantity to use. One bushel OF fresh
ly-burnt lime, when air Stacked, viii
make two bushels; 20 bushels Of fresh
ly burnt lime will cost six cents per
bushel at the kiln, which is S1.20 per
acre, not counting the hauling. This
is an economical dressing for one
acre Of grass pasture. The lime should
be spread as soon as it is air-slacked.
The field should be run over with a
sharp iron-tooth harrow, and about ten
pounds of a mixture Of timothy, red
top and blue grass sown to the acre
In the spring SOW two pounds of red
clover, one pound Of white clover, and
one pound of alsita cloverseed to the
acre. The clover and grass VIII make
a rapid growth in the spring If the
land is in good health. Lime sweet
ems land; kills out sorrel; rots up the
hard particles of clay and puts the
ground in good condition for plant
growth.
Ground limestone is now quite large
ly used and has some advantages over
burnt lime. Being ground very tine,
it may be drilled in with the seed In
any quantity. Ground limestone has
a very mild action on the soil, and is
not as effective as burnt lime. 1t is
now recommended for light lands and
for land that is to be sown in alfalfa.
Two to three tons is said to be the
proper dressing for one acre.
Prepared lime or agricultural lime is
made by adding water to caustic lime
out of contact with air. By this pro-
cess IS pounds of caustic lime becomes
IA pounds of hydrate of lime.

perintendent of a large mercantile
establishment to new clerk. s
the man who can please the cranks
and chronic kickers whom we want
and who will find himself in line for
promotion"
The new clerk remembered. He
set himself to please difficult Gus
toners, the ones who like to COM
plain and will find an opportunity to
do so no matter how good the service
and merchandise. Il realized" he
says, that their money is just as
good as the next mans, though it may
be more ditncult to get"
It was not long before the obliging
clerk had built up personal trade,
so that critical customers would ask
for him on entering the shop. They
liked to be waited on by one whom
they knew desired to please. Often
they became much less crochety
The superintendent was as good as
his word When the value of the
new mans services became apparent
as it inevitably did, the promised
promotion was not long delayed

Alfalfa Works Deep.

it continues it's work till you pillow it

LITTLE GRAY LADY

came back promptly at six; she had
10 friends; she never went out in
the evening. Some Of US, taking pity
Oh the lonely little middle-agei spin

she had always amiably and politely

We looked at each other in aston

bic when Mrs. Potter told US. No, the
Littla <Iray Lady had given no explain

sWeetiy, that she was going away, had
packed her trunk and gone, giving
some address in modest uptown
street Mrs. Potter had hoped that
she might be permitted to call. The
Little Gray Lady had evaded the
proposition with the adroitness born
