THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.

The theory that the strongest and
most intelligent animals has out
fought and out-lived the weaker ones
is scientifically correct.
1t is especially true of the ones;
the horse has outlived the mammoth
the small Drained diploduccus is
found only In the national museum
and man has tanned the wildcat and
captured the bear.
But the theory that an intelligent
man should make ignorant men his
prey is contemplate, mean. defling,
and accursed
Moreover, II is economically wrong.
Man lives by cooperation Exchange
of service is at the base of civilization
and he who gets without giving is a
thief
That a man should prosper through
superiority, industry and skill is
right, but no man is lower in the
moral scale than the one who uses
Icleverness and fraud to take advant-
age of the ignorant and trusting.
1t is great thing to understand
the workings of the human mind It
is wonderful to be able to influence
others, but the use Of this power con
temptibly is contemplate.
A baby soon learns that the easiest
way to secure forbidden things is 10
set up a yell. How many so-called
man there are who use this same
method to carry a point.
We know of an employer, of in
stance. who constantly practices
when he suspects that he is about to
be asked for a raise is to set up yell
about something that has gone
wrong
We know printer whose practice
before adding ten dollars to the price
quoted is to let out afearful roar that
he is losing nifty dollars on the job.
He correctly surmises that the average
customer is such that he will submit
more cheerfully to the ten dollar
item If he is thoroughly scared by the
then slips the ten dollar bill into his
| pocket. pats himself affectionately on
the shirt-stud and thinks he is a great
reader of mems minds
To understand mans minds and not
abuse them is true mark of nm
selfish power. Psychology mastered
for self-improvement is noble
science; used as a weapon in highway
robbery 1t is nothing but rat-sunning.
If cats, like people. We're generous and
wanted to avoid a row, it would be d
great thing for the rodents.

EARLY CULTIVATION IS BEST
Applying Mulch to Soil Prevents Bed
From Becoming Dry and Enables
II to Absorb Moisture.

Shallow cultivation is the same IN
effect as applying mulch to the soil.
as 1t prevents the bed from becoming
dry. and enables # to absorb all the
moisture from light showers and
dews.
For May plants such cultivation
will be sufficient without watering,
but others. notably dahlias, must have
plenty Of water. Soap suds from the
wash are excellent for dahlias, and
should be applied by the pailful to
make sure Of reaching the roots. This
matter Of watering. right down to the
roots Of the plants. is very import.
ant. and unless you can give enough
to do that 1t will be better not to wa.
ter at all. but trust to shallow culti-
walton only. Always use a watering
pot. SO that you can apply the water
directly to the roots. Using a hose
scatters the water too much. Water
plants after sundown.
Almost everybody grows asters. A
top dressing Of well rotted stable ma
nure will give nourishment to the
plants, and also keep the soil around
them moist. Liquid manure. not too
strong. should be applied to the roots.
but II should not wet the foliage. II
this Is done at intervals. large and
well developed flowers will be the re-
ward.
Sweet peas should be well culti.
waited. Bone meal. strewn along the
rows and raked In. will help In pro-
noting vigorous growth, Manure wa
ter is also very beneficial. but after
using manure water one day use clear
water the next. Sometimes In dry
seasons the flowers look faded and do
not show In their true colors. To
demedy this fault mix SCOT and water
together. to about the consistency OF
milk. and apply at the roots.

Mr.. Croker in the library the next

How can the rainfall be saved :?
Plow the field as soon as the crop
has been harvested. II 1t Is spring or
summer follow the plow with a drag.
The rains will soak into the soil in

evaporating. Fall plowing should not
be dragged. as there is danger of the

The extra expense Of following such

The appearance Of dodder in clover
and alfalfa fields Is generally most
dangerous to the crop.
The ordinary operations OF moving
raking and hauling tend to spread
this troublesome parasite, and with
every new center Of infection the
chances OF the crop grow less.
A recent circular OF the New York

scribes the injury resulting from dod.

Dodder is a yellow, thread.like
twining weed which is exceedingly
troublesome In alfalfa fields. 1t ap-

The spots increase In size from year
