A Char Acter

The quiet gospel of content has Otter
been preached by the poets, and IN these
four verses we get another picture of wise
man who, by making the best of things as
they come to him, and remaining thankful
lived long as we'll as happily.
He sowed and hoped for reaping-
A happy man and wise;
The clouds-they did his weeping,
The wind-it sighed his signs.
He made what fortune brought him
The limit of desire;
Thanked God for shade in summer days,
In winter time for FIRE. ar..e,a
When tempest, as with vengeful rods 2.
His earthly mansions cleft, ...re
On the blank sod he still thanked God,
Life and the and were left!
Conten his earth race he ran,
And ied-so peopie'siy-.-
Some ten we urs later than the man
Who worried his life away!

Many young men, standing among
The most tremendous realities, have
their eyes half shut or entirely clos
ed. A mighty defense for a young
man is good home. Some of our
readers look back with tender salts

have been rude and rustic, hidden
among the hills, and architect or
upholster never planned or adorned
it, But all The fresco on princely
walls never looked SO enticing to
you as those rough hewn rafters.

Of trees planted on a fashionable

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
81 have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
vas very poor, and it seemed impos-
sble to gel any relief. Since taking
two bottles Of Eirol I find that it has
already made q remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and | have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. yinOl
is easily asslmilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle Of Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned IL 1t does not help you.

GROW VETCH IN WISCONSIN
Farmer Gives Interesting Experiment
Made With Crop Planted To-
gether With Glover.

(By w. A. HARRINGTON, wisconsin,
Having experienced a little difficulty
in keeping a small tract Of rather in
accessible land in the required state
Of fertility, we tried vetch, both
spring and winter varieties. The
scotsman instructed us to grow it with
nurse crop of oats.
We were told that vetch would not
thrive in our Wisconsin attitudes, and
for a time we were willing to believe
it. The vetch we started with the oats
did not get start at all, although the
season was comparatively moist.
However, one despised acre, an ex-
pertinent on our own part, which we
had planted to mixture of clover and
winter vetch, finally rounded in shape.
It had fingered long, when suddenly
both clover and vetch took a notion
to grow.
In August there was magnificent
stand of forage, all of which was
plowed under. Thus, although we lost
a seasons crop from that acre, the i'm
provement Of filth and fertility re-
sulting amply repaid the loss Next
spring we will put in more vetch and
clover.

Planting for Future Seed.

Few farmers feel that they have
time to give to an elaborate corn
breeding plot, but none of them Is so
busy that he can't take time to select
the best hundred ears in his supply Of
seed, and, after testing to be sure of
it's vitality, plant in plot on the south
or west sides of his main field.
Doing this will not only simplify tho
matter of selecting the seed ears next
fall, but the location of the best and
most thrifty type of corn in the posi-
ton mentioned will mean that much
