n MAN was telling story of
IA some friends of his-people
Of talent, who were gifted
and cultured, but whose self-made
standards caused them to lose sight
of all ordinary laws OF society.
With much sang froid the man
related their doings-doings which
included drinking to excess and
defying the rules of decency in
dress and behavior.
These people, you see, have
standards of their own" he said.
They do not look aUthings as we
look at them. Their world is quite
world by itself. 1t is a matter of
temperament We can not class
them with the ordinary mortal
Temperament No Excuse.
But the possession of talent and
temperament does not necessitate
such standards.
1t does not excuse such behavior
and it does not Indicate a high type
of genius. Very great men and
women have lived lives of order
and system They have kept the
Commandments; they have not in
dulged In beastly orgies and called
them the result of temperament
and they have not flung their loose
ideas of morals or religion in the
face of the world.
Hundreds of thousands of people
HAVE DONE those things, who
were merely moral weaklings and
human derelicts, and they have
been hauled into court the next
morning to pay fine for disorderly
conduct
Half-witted and half demented
men and women there are by the

Temperament No Excuse

THOLD it the duty of who is gifted,
And specially lowered in all mems sight,
To know till his life is lifted
Fully up his great gifts height
He must mold the into completeness
gems set only in gold refined
He fashion his thoughts into perfect sweetness
And cast out folly and pride from his mind
For he drinks from gods gold fountain
OF art o music rhythmic song
Must sift from his soul the chaff of malice
And weed his heart the of wrong
Great gifts should be like a betting
like gems in a beggar's hands
And the toll be constant unremittng

LOSS OF FEBRUARY LITTER
Wisconsin Swine Breeder Makes Fall
ure by Feeding Corn Meal to
Youngsters Too Soon.

A Wisconsin swine breeder, in an
-endeavor to get his pigs in market
condition as early as possible in the
fall, had several sows farrow in Feb
ruary. The sows and young ones
were confined in small breeding pens
In a large barn which was kept warm
by steam heat.
The little pigs grew Justify, but the
breeder began feeding them corn meal
before they were weaned This fat
tening food, in Connection with the
lack Of exercise, not only disabled the
sows but brought the youngsters
down with the thumps. The litter was
almost total loss.
This loss might easily have been
prevented. Had the little pigs been
provided with large, roomy pen and
forced to take exercise, and had they
been fed on heterogeneous foods rather
than corn. they would have entered
the spring pasture in fair condition
for summer gains, not as good, per-
haps. as the later narrowed litters, but
good enough to justify the extra trou-
BILE entailed in raising them.
If swine breeder cannot provide
early filters with warm accommoda-
tons and an exercising place it
would be cheaper in the end to kill
them as soon as born.

nevertheless, be directed to attaining

Where pure sand or a light

beans, and in districts north of this
red clover, vetches and Canada peas
are suitable for this type of soil inn
provement. These crops If allowed to
occupy the land until their maximum
growth is attained and then plowed
under, will act very beneficially upon
the structure Of the soil in making it

Do net attempt to winter more sheep

Many good, careful farmers find it
practical to hog off some of their corn.
The use of silage for sheep feeding
purposes has been tried out to lin

Keep the hogs quiet. clean and
comfortable If you expect the best gain
from the food supplied.
Be sure the flock has plenty Of fresh

keep the approaches dry.

New Cabbage Variety.

The Enkhuizen Glory cabbage is
receiving more attention, perhaps,
than any other variety introduced in
recent years, says a writer In an ex-
change. A few days ago I talked
with central Pennsylvania farmer
who is most enthusiastic regarding
its merits. The points of special In
terest and value which he mentioned
are that the heads seldom burst and
that they are almost as solid as Dan
ish Ballhead. The plants are also
certain headers. The variety should
receive general trial throughout the
country, for it may replace some Of
the welEknown standard varieties.
