Life Is ScIf.Exlstent.

Life is self-existent Principle; self
existent because it could not be made
or evolved; for It would ever require
Life to make Life. That which could
make Life 0f Life could be made)
must itself have life, and Of necessity
must itself ultimately be Life. Hence
we must conclude that Life is self
existent, and that which has Its ex-
istence within itself can never be
slain. 'Tls the spirit of Life, the Life
that is God, and there is no other.
The so-called physical life Is but a
belief of life In the body, where there
Is no life, And on this same basis
We have to conclude that Truth and
Love are self-existcnt, for nothing
short of the Principle of Truth and
Love could evolve such a Principle
(if that Principle could be evolved,
and that itself would be Principle.)
When we speak Of Truth we mean
immutable Truth; the substance of
Truth; the spirit Of Truth that leads
In the way of all truth, Any deviation
from Truth would be error and could
not therefore be true, or Truth.
And when we speak of Love, we do
not refer to the personal, selfish af-
fectlons that depend upon feelings
but the Love that Is God, the spirit
Of Love, that seeks not its own, but
another's good 'Tis the fulfilling of
the law; the Love that Is unselflsh;
that gives blessings for cursings, and
"the oil Of joy for mourning"
Such is the spirit Of Life, the spirit
of Truth, the spirit of Love; the great
primal triune Deity the three ln~one
Principle; the Spirit that is God
Christian Science is not speculative
or conjectural, neither is the Principle
hypothecated
The Primal Triune Deity.

and be primeyal for there would be

the negative, error, could not be- and

tive, or Truth, must be, and be primal.
Hence Truth must be the primal.
and from the primal all things must
proceed And since Truth cannot ex-
press itself in error therefore there
can be no error. Truth cannot result
In error the positive cannot result In
the negative Love cannot result In
hate, and Life cannot result in death.

Sense About Siloa.

Corn belt stock farmers can much
better afford silos than to forego their
use. even though 1t be necessary to
borrow the money to cover their cost,
says the Breeders Gazette. Silos are
a form of insurance, protecting their
owners against drought, with its grass
less pastures, insuring the payment of
nutritious, palatable feed upon demand
to live stock, conserving In digestible
form practically the entire corn plant
and w%arranting the cash sale of hay
and grain when prices are particular
ly attractive. 1t is a wonderful grip
that silos give their on the diff
icult situations that arise in unfavor-
able seasons. They should be consid-
cred not as minor con~veniences nor yet
as worth having only when a peculiar
set of conditions exist.

DRY FARMING AN ISSUE
FOR THE WHOLE NATION.
Everybody Everywhere Interested In
the Question Of Conserving the
Valuable Moisture of the Soil.
BY Liberty II. Bailey, In Dry Farming
Bulletin.


1 am convinced that the dry farm
ing movement has direct value in its
application to eastern as well as west
ern conditions. The movement Is nee
essary and therefore worth while in its
western applications alone, and in its
bearing ON the welfare of those regions
it should appeal to all the people, but
it also has a bearing on agriculture in
the entire country such as our people
do not yet understand.
We habitually associate dry farm
ing with dry regions, but the conser-
walton of water lies also at the founda
ton OF agriculture In most humid reg
ions, as well as semi-arid regions, for
the crop in humid regions is very gen
orally determined by the pinch of the
dry spell' or drought.
We shall never have a good agricul-
ture until the farmer prepares for dry
times and drought just as conscien-
tiously as he prepares for winter. The
"dry spelI'' of summer is usually con-
sidered to be q calamity. 1t is probable
that a properly regulated system OF
h%usbandry would make such spells TO
be advantageous.
Nor is it merely a question Of carry
ing the crop over the recognized dry
spells. A sufficient supply of soil mois-
ture continuously throughout the year
IL a fundamental necessity of crop
growing. The acre production must
be made to increase, which mean that
we must be increasingly careful Of our
water waste.
In the hard land, billy regions Of the
east 1t Is not only a question Of the
actual quantity Of water falling on the
earth, but quite as much the loss of
the water by rapid run Off. The vio-
lent run-off Is like water running from
a roof. 1t tears the land. nov stones
and other heavy objects and carries
away immense stores Of fertility.
Within two or three days after a heavy
rain the sides and tops of hills may
be suffering from dry soil. Many of
the hills Of the humid eastern states
are unproductive or even sterile be-
cause they are dry. We shall find the
principles of dry farming to be in
creasingly applicable to the east.

THE CURING OF ALFALFA.
Methods Used by Farmers to Save the
First Crop Of Hay.

A correspondent of the National
Stockman and Farmer wants to know
the best way Of saving the first crop Of
alfalfa hay. In the states east Of the
Mississippi river 1t IS usually difficult
to make a crop of hay late in May or
early in June. When rains do not In
terfere the alfalfa can be cured in
windrow and cock without much diff
Guilty, but usually there is some rain.
Many growers cure partly In swath
and windrow and then place In small
cocks and cover with a muslin hay cap
which is weighted down at each cor
ner.
If the season is wet some damage to
the hay results and the alfalfa beneath
the cocks Is killed unless the hay Is
moved once or twice.

MM ANY of the laws Of medieval
EWU times were very curious. At
Iv first cases were decided by
combat, and it was a long
while before the jury system came into
use. In those days punishment was
very disproportionate to the crime. Dur
ing the reign of King Edward Nv. Of
England a young girl of Yorkshire was
wooed by two lovers, the n a young
farmer of her own rank, the other the
profigate son of a wealthy merchant.
Robert Dangerfeld. the farmer, held
the principal place In MarJory's affec-
tons, but Tom Ricketts,, the merchants
son, being heir to great prospective
wealth, was a rival to be dreaded.
Ricketts, was a great rascal and at
first never intended to marry the girl.
but Marjory was well able to take care
of herself. and the young scapegrace
soon discovered that he could only
have her, If at all, after a legitimate
wedding ceremony. AS soon as he
came unto this condition Marjory, pos
sibly in order to tantalize him, de-
clared that she intended, after all. to
wed Robert Dangerfeld.
Ricketts, by this time was madly In
love and ready TO commit any crime to
a sheep from one of his fathers ten
ants, carried 1t to the cottage of his
rival and tethered 1t to the doorpost.
Robert awoke in the morning and was
astonished to find the sheep, which,
with the simple faith of that day, he
considered a gift sent him from
heaven. Tom Ricketts, told the owner
that he had seen his animal In posses
sion of Dangerield. The young farmer
was arrested and thrown into prison
ON a charge Of sheep stealing. Then
Ricketts, rode to the home Of Marjory
to tell her the news:
"Dangerield has been sheep stealing.
He Is In prison and will be tried and
hanged. DO not waste more time, Mar
jory, in listening to men of low de-
gree. Set the day for u wedding.
We will travel and see foreign lands,
and when we return I will build a cas-
tie for you to live in"
Now. Marjory was no fool. She knew
that Ricketts, was in earnest, but she
distrusted him.
II won't marry you. Tom Ricketts,"
she said, "ff you build twenty castles.
| am going to marry Robert Danger
field"
you mean If Robert is not hanged"
II will marry him whether he Is
hanged or not"
Marjory visited Dangerield In prison
and asked him what she could do TO
save him. Her lover babe her go TO
Bleckstun. a famous lawyer Of that
name, and ask him II he could suggest
any way out Of the difficulty. Bleck-
stun familiarized himself with the case.
then questioned Marjory. [11Al

HOME PRODUCTS DESERVE
YOUR FIRST CONSIDERATION
Find Out IL Local Merchants Cannot
Supply the Things You Are
Purchasing Elsewhere.

Did It ever occur to you to consider
what articles and how many lines OF
goods are manufactured in your own
town. The chances are that you have
been buying various commodities from
outside of town without knowing that
you can get them right at home, made
by neighbors Of yours who are trying
to build up a business and at the same
time helping to build up the town.
Many persons patronize mail d
houses or go away to buy goods more
because they are not aware of what
the home market has to offer than be
cause they think they are getting bet
ter bargains outside.
What most towns need is a little
course of education in the immediate
home market line. The producers and
manufacturers in many instances need
education In that respect. They need
to know the value of letting other peo-
pie know what they make and have
for sale. Not long ago an enterprising
home trade enthusiast in a Texas town
compiled and published a list of goods
manufactured and handled in his W
town. 1t surprised him as well as
others. The list follows:
Overalls and jumpers. half tone cuts
and etchings, bank and store fixtures,
chilli supplies, crackers, eamer prod
tfcfa (OrnfCa c11nnlia9 nlImherS' ElnnlipG.
macaroni. laurarles. furniture. -four mill
products, planning mill products, addlery
and harness, brooms, cigars, trunks, stock
and poultry medicines. mattresses, show
cases and cabinets, printing and binding,
upholstering, acetylene gas. iron works,
rubber and steel stamps. candy, awning
and carpe r~enovating. vinegar, meat
products, carriage and wagon works.
fountain drinks, g%inners' supplies. wind
mills and casing, pressed brick, collins and
caskets.
Not every town, of course, manufac-
lures such a long list of articles-from
crackers to coffins-but in every town
there are homemade products which
should appeal to home people. A little
investigation will prove that there are
more home manufactured goods In
your own town than you ever dreamed
OF.
The list above includes windmills.
Perhaps you do not need windmills,
but you do need printing every now
and then. You will notice printing
and binding in the list. Printing and
binding are done right here at home
and at reasonable rates, yet every
once In awhile the printer discovers
that somebody sends away for a job
which could be done here just as well
and as reasonably. Other lines Of
business also suffer because people
don't seem to realize that the home
product Is a bargain from any point
Of view.
The moral Is this: Find out what
your neighbors produce and offer be-
fore buying outside Of the community
and you may be agreeably surprised.

walked the streets of London all night
because he could not afford a bed,
while Goldsmith knew the necessity
of pawning his b~edclothes, lying
with his head %protruding from a slit

thrust his person. Coleridge, even at
a time when he had attained celebrity
as a scholar, poet and essayist. was N
the saddest state of restitution. Dry

Of starvation.

terial sense, at least during the early
stages of his career, ii is a h~indranee,
