MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME
Ideals, Which Consistently Lived Up
to, Cannot Fall to Make fer Hap
plneSs In Life.

This home is dedicated to good will,
1t grew out OF love. The two heads
OF the household were called together
by a power higher than they, To its
decree they arc obedient, Every tone
OF the voice, every thought of their
being, is subdued to that service. They
desire to be worthy of their high call
ing as ministers Of that grace. They
know their peace will go unbroken
only for a little time. And often they
suspect that the time will be more
short even than their anxious hope.
They cannot permit so much as one
hour OF that brief unity to be touched
by o or malice. The worlds judg-
ments have lost their sting inside
this door. Those who come seeking
to continue the harmony which these
two have won are ever welcome. The
rich are welcome, so they come sim
ply. The poor are welcome, for they
have already learned friendliness
through buffeting. Youth is welcome
for 1t brings the JOY which these two
would learn. Age is welcome, for !
will teach them tenderness.-Collier'

GET START OF H0RSERADlSH
Small Roots Cut Into Lengths Of From
Four to Six Inches Should Be
Planted Early.

Horseradish should be started very
early in the spring. It consists of one
large root from which springs the
crown and a large number of smaller
roots.
These roots, small as a lead pencil
or larger, are cut off into lengths OF
from four to six inches, and should be
placed in the ground with the thick
end up.
They should be planted about three
inches deep, and the soil above them
pressed down firmly to prevent water
reaching them before they start.
Make the soil loose, and at least a
depth Of ten inches. Work into it
plenty of wellrotted manure. Set
horseradish in rows about three feet
apart, and at intervals of about If
teen inches.
Then keep the weeds away from
them, and the top soil loose, with
frequent cultivation. A row six feet
long will supply a family with all it
needs. The plant will be ready for use
early in the fall, and 1t makes it's best
growth then.
1t should be dug late In the fall,
after all other crops are off, the small
root tops being removed and stored In
sand in the cellar, or buried in pits In
the ground until wanted for use.'

FAT COVERS MANY DEFECTS
q Takes Good Judge to Pick Out
Strong, Healthy Boar If the AMI
NAL 10 over-Ficshy.

Some breeders have a trick OF send
ing their weak boars to fairs with an
nvercoat of fat which hides many de-
xects. When you see an over-fat boar
# ia time to become wary.
It is a well known fact that all the
fat breeding animals at the big fairs
are sold first and the rough ones are
left to the last.
1t takes a good pudge to pick out
good, strong, healthy boar II ne Is
Over-fat.
Even If the animal is quite thin in
flesh and has quality this will be nc
drawback where men OF experience
are making selections, because they
4udee the animal on his points and
not or his general sleek, round ap
pearance.
Another point To be observed ! n buy
