HELPING OUR

There IS one delightful thing
about farming, which is not true
of some other industries, and that
is that each farmer is really bene-
fitted by the success Of his neigh
bors. In a progressive neighbour
hood, where good stock is kept and
where farming is generally profit
able, roads and schools are better,
the price Of farm land is higher;
and, owing to the fact that a great
quantity of farm products IS
offered for sale, markets are bet
ter; SO boost your neighbors, and
by SO doing help yourself.

A LIGHT

A dark kcoop for the hen and
young chicks is a nuisance. The
youngsters crowd into the back
part OF the coop and can only be
felt, not seen. By placing a glass
door I the front Of the coop, the
interior IS always exposed to view.
\ small sliding door at the bottom
will permit the chicks to run out,
while the old hen can be kept con-
hned. Several holes should be
bored into theside Of the coop in
order to give ventilation. The
coop should be about I2x24 inches
and the glass should be at least
IONA inches.

1t is calculated that the yearly
sugar bill Of the American people,
tor all purposes, industrial and do
mestic. IS not far from s4oo.oro.-
900, and this increases at the rate
OF about 5 per cent a year. It IS a
large expenditure, and it comes out
OF the pockets Of the people. This
IS what gives special and particu~
lar interest to the sugar schedule
IN the tariff bill, though the &C
tivlty Of the rehners is consider
aoly more marked than is that Of
the consumers.

HOW TO GROW CELERY.

We cannot grow early celery in the
South as they do in the North, but
can grow the winter celery on moist
and strong land. Prepare a seed
bed in early April, and mark out
slightly rows six inches apart. Sow
n seed rather thinly on the marks
and simply pat 1t down with back Of
spade. Then cover the bed with
fertilizer or grain sacks to keep the
surface from drying out, and if water
IS needed, you can sprinkle it on the
gunny sacks. When the seed show
termination raise the sacks off them
n as h plants show green remove
the sacks. AS soon as large enough
pull the plants and pinch off the tip
of the tap-roots and transplant them
to another bed in rows six inches
apart and two inches in the rows.
Keep clean during the summe and
clip the tops slightly one or twice.

side Of the bed, and begin planting by

with the line, set a plant at each
notch on both sides. Then move the

No matter how your mothers may
speak, their hearts are in the right
place; if their attire is old-fashioned
and their manners not up to the frills
of the twentieth century standa I'd,
they have had experience of more
value than all the schooling and extra
accomplishments that you may think
of shining excellence. Heed your
mother-you will never regret it,
1t is the mother of a. household
whose life is chiefly threatened by
monotony. She stays at home. She is
always in the house seeing the same
things, hearing the same voices, doing
the same work day after day, with end
less regularity. The demands upon
her time and strength and love and
patience are increasing and the wonder
is that she does not break down more
frequently than is actually the case.

Do not distrust your friend. You
may not always understand his actions
and consequently you may not inter.
pref them Alright. If he is impulsive
he may not always act in accordance
with your ideas, he will make mistakes
and perhaps stumble by the wayside.
But if he is your friend stand up for
him and believe in his goodness and
virtue and his desire for your welfare.
Remember that you cannot see his
heart and there is more of nobility and
goodness than appears on the surface.
You cannot afford to distrust him, for
real friendship is rare. Do not hold
yourself aloof from him but encourage
him 10y counsel, precept and example.
Help him if he is weak, and encourage
him if he falters. His heart will 60
out in gratitude, and you both will
have made the world better

THROUGH the Swiss Mountains

At Bevieux (Old BeX), amorg the
Alps, the railroad passes the rocksalt
mines, from which the Swiss govern
ment procures most of the salt whose
sale is a government monopoly, and
often sold only by the local postmas-
ter, who deals not only in stamps, but
In salt. At this point toothed rail
is brought into play, and the gradient
rapidly increases, as the cars pass
through woods Of walnuts and chest
nuts, here an important item of the
diet and income Of their owners.

Subject OF Prime importance.

Weather Is the one topic Of conver
satlon that never grows out of date.
We are almost as nearly at the mercy
Of the sunshine, the rain and the snow
storm as we were a century ago.
Therefore We always scan the sky
when we get up In the morning. 1t Is
almost instructive, even with the city
dwellet. No farmer fails to take a
long look at the sky when he first
rises, for on the weather will depend
his activities during the day.

One reason why some men do not
get along better in this world is be-
cause they have not the proper stimu-
liant in their homes. Their homes
lack those little touches of refinement
which bring the best out of them.
Neatness and taste are possible in the
poorest homes. Let woman make
the atmosphere as dainty as her means
allow, and she will raise her husband
to the same standard. And as she
elevates him the effort is felt upon her
self, her children, her home, and her
future.

WHEN PRIDE IS JUSTIFIED.

Far too many mortals are vain and
self satisfied because of some temporary
mercenary advantage, and in their
eagerness to display that advantage at
every opportunity often destroy their
greatest blessing, the physical counter
part of sunshine, which is their own
health Neglected colds, irregular
meals, overloaded stomachs and night
revelry result in shattered nerves, de-
pressed vigor and fatigue all of which
invite decline and disease.
Each person stands sentinel at the
portals of his own health and he who
guards, protects, strengthens and
builds up a rugged constitution is justi-
fled in pride and finds therein his own
recompense-th capacity to enjoy the
fullnesS of life.
The strain of modern commercial
and social living taxes strength and
energy and in maintaining the highest
sef-etficiency we should not only cult
vate deep breathing, out of door exer-
else, regularity and temperance in all
things, but study the greatest of all
physical power-creators which is body
nourishment. In this, alcoholic pre-
partitions should be carefully Stunned
and such pre-digested nourishment as
SCOTS Emulsion which enriches the
blood and creates vitality by building,
healing and strengthening, should be
selected.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientifically pre-
pared and is good for teething babies,
nursing mothers, growing children,
the aged and infrm. 1t contains no
wine or stimulant, but is wholesome
and pure and has helped millions to
regain health and sustain it. Worth
less substitutes are sometimes offered,
but Scott's Emulsion is the genuine
pure food-medicine. AZ

the show were made early to give
prospective exhibitors an opportunity
to get good stock and in good condition
for the show Fanciers should keep in
mind the how in order to be well pre-
pared for it. 1t is a matter for which
preparation can be made within few
