The introduction of harmful fungi
and bacteria into the soil, is an i'm
portant cause of the deterioration of
grains after continued cropping. de-
clared FL. L. Bolley, Professor of Bot
any, North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege in recent address at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. Professor Boley is
one OF the most eminent plant path
ologists in the country, his early stud
les on the potato scab and flax wilt.
and his later Investigations of the dis
eases of cereals having made him
widely known among scientists.
He believes that fungi and bacteria
resident in the seed and in the soil.
injure and destroy the roots of plants
and otherwise affect succeeding crops.
The remedy for this is rot primarily
fertilization, nor a naturalization of
soil toxins, but the combating of fungi
and bacteria by means of sanitary mea-
sures such as seed selection and dsin-
lection, and crop rotation.

HOGS AND DOGS

It's safe bet that there are 800 fan
lilies in Morgan county in which not y
single hog can be found. Not SINGLE
porker grunls contentedly in the wood
lot nor squeals for his swil at the
'front.' gate. II you would ask the head
OF the family why he didn't keep two
or three hogs from which to make his
pork, bacon and lard he would doub..
less tell you that feed is so high that he
can't afford it; that hogs are SO HIGH
and scarce that he can't buy a SOW bio
from which to get start of hogs, or
something to that effect. But this
freebooter is not without any kind of
property. Perhaps your pity for YOUR
neighbours unfortunate circumstances
in not being able to own hog will be
somewhat modified if YOU visit his home
when two or perhaps three magnificent
dogs representing different breeds and
varieties, come frsking and barking
down the yard path to meet and greet
you at the front gate Fix.
Nothing is easier than to become an

You should not smoke. If YOU
didn't smoke you might some day own

TEACHING CHILDREN TO THINK

TEACHING CHILDREN TO THINK.
Judging from the effects of much
thoughtlessness in this life, one Is
tempted to believe that the habit of
not thinking is as much crime as
the deliberate doing indeed, it is
often the foundation on which many
crimes are based. The capacity for
solving the problems OF life are born
with the problem, and, as expert
ences multiply, the capacity increases
until we are able to overcome the OBJ
staces that arise, if we only exercise
our thinking powers. The exercising
OF the faculty of judgment should be-
gin at the cradle. let them learn from
the very start TO reason out the diff
ficulties that confront them. Let them
manage their own affairs. Their life is
their own business; not yours. You
might as well think to have them walk
without exercising their limbs, as TO
have them face lfe's problems without
exercise of mentalities. The baby in
the cradle will entertain itself most
industriously, If allowed TO do so, and
mothers make mistake in robbing
them of the pleasure. The cooling
baby will have to experiment. with its
freedom and liberty some time, and it
Z. ,,pt wall ~ Lat . ha,,;, ,,z,,
Let the child learn to decide for itself,
and take the consequences of It's own
decisions; their experience Of self-re-
lance viii give them the strength of
mind needed to enable them to bear
the burden later, as they crawl out OF
| the cradle. Life Is all battle ground
and we must each fight for our own; de-
pendence upon another makes towards
and weaklings OF us. 1t Is the arm that
strikes in which the muscles develop
the still arm stilens. A supervising
care and unobtrusive guidance OF the
hesitating steps are all right; but let
the littletne think out its own ways.
Remember that you can not always
stand by your child's side, ready TO stay
the stumbling feet, or pick it up If 1t
falls. There must be will, grit, self.
poise a careful weighing OF pros and
cons, and sturdy self-relance, in order
to successfully meet the thousands Of
difficulties that crowd its pathways
Teach it TO think.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN
SIGNING THE HONEST FAD

FARM AWAY.
Kept in the family name:
Cornfields rich with golden ears
Oft as the harvest came.
Crowded barn and crowded bin,
Aud still the loads kept coming in,
Rolling in for i hundred years,
And the fourth in the family line
appears.
Orchards covered the slope Of the hills
Cider--forty barrels they say
Sure in the season to come from the
To be tasted round Thanksgiving
Day.
And they drank as they worked.
And they drank as they ate,
Winter and summer, early and late,
Counting it as a great mishap
10 pe found without barrel on tap.
But while the season crept along
And passions, into habits grew,
Their appetites became as strong
AS ever drunkard knew,
And they labored less and squandered
more
Chiefly for rum at the village store,
Till called by the sheriff, one bitter day,
To sign the homestead farm away.
The father, shattered and scented with
rum
The mother sick, and pale, and thin,
Under the weight of her sorrow dumb,
In debt for the bed she was dying in;
| saw the wretched round me stand
And Justice lifted her trembling
hand
Helping her as in her pain she lay,
To sign the homestead farm away.
All, how she wept, and the flood of tears
Swept down her cheek so fair,
And the father, already bowed with
years
Bowed lower with despair.
Drink, drink; it had ripened into woe
For them and all they loved below,
And forced them, poor and old and gray,
To sign the homestead farm away.
Oh, many scenes have | met in life,
And many call to pray,
But the saddest of all was the dunkard's |
wife
Signing the farm away,
Home-once richest in all the town.
Home in that fatal cup poured down;
Worse than fire or floods dismay-
The drunkard signing the farm away, |

To the true man or woman there can
be nothing more agreeable on earth
than the business of home-making and
all who are not home-mAkers miss the
best part of their mission in life. Who
ever makes a home, in the best sense
of the word, is real benefactor to the
race; for every true home is the abode
of JOY, peace, and the happiness to those
who share it, and exerts an influence
that is incacuable for the amelioration
of the whole human family. Many a
prodigal has been led by the thoughts
of home and the home makers of his
own particular home, to repent of his
sins and to change his course of life;
and many an unfortunate one has been
saved in the evil hour from suicide, or
worse by the tender recollections of
home, of fond mothers prayers, an in,
dulgent fathers counsel, or sisters
or brothers tenderness.
Yes, whoever helps to make true
home confers bentit on mankind,
that no man can fully estimate. Indeed
the influence of the true home for good
is absolutely incalculable, and reaches
many even that never enter its inner
Circle. Simply to get glimpse of it is
to receive an impulse for.better things,
to obtain more exalted view of life,
to feel an excess of faith in God and the
Immortality of the human soul. 1t is
like vision of the glories of the New
Jerusalem, and the everlasting habta-
lions, and no one can be wholly bad who
has seen such things.
