Learning a LANGUAGE.

The time to learn language ia
when YOU are young, the younger the
better We learn our own language as
children. The older we grow the
harder 1t Is, because 1t means not
merely learning by heart great
many words not merely training the
palate and tongue to produce differ
ent sounds. but adopting new atti-
tude of mind. Nothing definite has
been discovered al to the locallzation
Of faculties in the brain, therefore
nothing certain Is known, but II has
always seemed to me and to others
whom ! have consulted that when you
learn new language you are eXercis-
Ing and developing new piece OF
I brain, When you know several Ian.
guages and change from one to an.
other, you seem definitely to change
the piece OF brain which actuates your
tongue. You switch off one center
and switch one to another. You will
always notice In yourself and others
that there Ia a definite pause when
the change OF language IL made. Now
It becomes every year more difficult
TO awaken an unused part OF the brain
and bring 1t into active use. and TO

PREPARE ANIMALS.
FOR BEST RETURNS
Most Common Mistake Among
FARMERS Is in Selling Product
Only Half Finished.

1t Is astonishing to observe during
a visit to the stock yards how little
care most farmers take in condition
ing their animals for market. The
most common mistake Is made IN
selling animals that are half finished.
Fully rs per cent of all the animals
sold reach the markets in an unfn-
ished condition. This, more than any
thing else, is probably accountable
for the common belief that there is
no money in feeding livestock Some
times stock is sold because grain Is
high. At other times the available
supply of feed has been consumed be-
fore the stock Is conditioned, but
more frequently perhaps, many feed
ers do not understand what we'll
conditioned means. With some feeders
1t is a case of going with the crowd.
No amount of reasoning can over
come the influence of that old proverb
that bird in the hand is worth two
In the bush 1t is true unless man
is a good shot. II he has judgment
and nerve he can just as well bag
two birds at one shot as to mss the
one. II he has plenty Of feed and
conveniences for handling his stock
he can finish out and not sacrifice II
in a poorly finished condition to save
a few bushels OF corn. Whether he
is feeding cattle, sheep, hogs or horses
1t is the last few bushels Of feed
required to get them up to the proper
weight that brings the best returns

Deeply dug soil retains moisture

Keep the surface soil loose and

Mulches of all kinds are beneficial

Probably the best way to market
a small flock, is to work up trade
among customers. This can easily be
done where the same plan has been
followed in selling eggs. If he has
kept his eggs up to high standard.
the buyer reasons that his chickens
will be so as well. Even on the
start he can demand. and get price
that Is much above the ordinary mar
ket stock, provided, always, that he
sets and keeps high quality as his
standard
Birds that are to be kept for sale
as breeders should never be allowed
to become fat They should be kept
in good order. in clean, attractive
quarters. and always where they can
be shown to prospective customers,
at moments notice. The finest bird
in a dirty, bad-smelling coop will not
show to good advantage, and will not
sell as quickly as an ordinary one in
attractive surroundings. Birds hav-
ing white plumage should be kept
where they can be kept clean, other
wise they will not show for what they
are.
Sell your BOOSTERS early, keep the
pullets to increase your flock, and get
rid Of your old hens as soon as you
are through with them for sitters and
mothers. Never sell bird for breed
ing purposes unless it is first class,
even at a lower figure than common.

The third factor, that Of cost, very
often seems to be, II not most impor.

Most home builders have to set a def.

Il matter Of choice. no one plan being
absolutely essential. But with the cost
it is different Most Of us have TO

Just what can be afforded; and If the
figure decided upon should be exceed

1T is just as well. too, that this Is so,
II leads To economy and close figuring
and careful attention TO the details OF
the work, and this leads to satisfac-

II seems TO be quite the habit OF
many building contractors. and also
with the architects, to be too optimis.

believing that a much more elaborate
