White lilac. snowballs, and certain
other shrubs should be let alone dur.
ing the winter, being neither trimmed
nor covered with straw and manure
other bushes need special attention
says the Department of Agriculture in
bulletin just issued on the winter
care of the garden.
"As a rule shrubs should not be
trimmed in the fall" says the depart.
ment. This process is timely i'm.
mediately after the blooming period
and this is in the spring as in the
case Of the SNOWFALL. If the shrubs
bloom in the fall as do some hy-
drangeas, the rose of Sharon, and
some lilacs, they should not be cut
directly after blooming but in the
spring Of the following year"
Hydrangeas in the south can be car
ed for out Of doors by protection OF
straw or brush. In the north they
should be taken up, planted in tubs
and placed in the cellar. Roses,
south Of the latitude of Washington,
need little attention but north of this
line they should be treated by cutting
the shrubs off about 80 inches from
the ground and protecting them with
leaves.
Experiments recently completed by
the department OF agriculture show
that peanuts can be profitably used
as forage for cattle in the South At
lantlc states where they grow so alb
undantly Animals display an almost
human fondness for peanuts and
thrive on them.

Latest Engine Of Warfare.

A terrible weapon Of warfare has
been invented. In the British Naval
Annual for 1914, just published, there
Is q description off, contrivance that
might almost be described as devilish.
It is Of the Leon torpedo mine, which
has now been acquired and IL being
manufactured by q British firm. This
engine is so constructed that Il can be
set to hover between any depths below
the surface that may be desired. When
placed in the water 1t has a slight neg
alive buoyancy, and sinks until auto
matically a propeller is brought into
action which drives It upwards again.
It can be used In the open sea by any
type Of ship, or, in the case Of tidal
harbors, It could be released by o yes
sci outside so as to make It's way with
the tide into the anchorage, and per
haps destroy shipping there. A touch
on the deadly steel "whiskers" which
project from its upper surface, and
the enemy would be sent to the bot
tom.

The. Reward Of
Courtesy.

From little sprouts big trees
will often grow.
We trample upon the sprouts
of today and gaze with admira-
ton upon the giants that were
sprouts of a former generation.
And it is much the same in
municipal affairs. We think too
much of the ending and not
enough of the beginning. We
overlook the little things of to-
day which have in them the max
ing of the big ones of tomorrow.
This tendency of human ma
ture is strikingly illustrated in
the case of a gentleman who had
occasion to spend a week in a
country town, and was remark
ably impressed by the uniform
courtesy shown him by the citi-
zens of the place.
If he was interested in a pub
lie building, or. = park, or a man
ufacturing enterprise, a dozen
men were ready with informa-
ton and explanations, pointing
out the various advantages, and
with ever a good word for the
people. They made him well
come.
A few weeks later while travel
ing in another state he met a
manufacturer who was in search
of a change of location for his
plant. He mentioned the place
he had recently left, and spoke
in glowing terms of the people,
their characteristics, and espe-
cially of their courtesy to the
stranger within their gates.
The manufacturer was much
impressed, and a few days later
visited the place. He is there
now, with his factory and his
$50 employees.
Truly, a mans tongue has a
wonderful influence upon the flu
ture of his own town.
Is there a lesson in it for us?

The Call of the Farm

There never was a time in the
history of our country when az.
riculture was as inviting as it is
today, when brains and Drawn
would bring as satisfactory re-
sulls from the farm.
With the trades and profess
sions in cities greatly overcrowd-
ed, the farm becomes more and
more the bright and reckoning
star of hope to millions of young
men.
Surplus energy of the cities
would do we'll to turn its atten-
ton to the farm, and the wise
youth of the country will stay
right where he is-where oppor-
tunity is always before him.
Keep your eye on the green
fields of the country, for there is

SMOOTH FLOOR RoUTs THIEF
Fat Burglar slipped While Struggling

A polished floor In the house Of
Thomas Cohen, q merchant here,
served as an effective burglar trap,
says q Somerville IN. j. dispatch to
the New York Herald. A S00-pound
burglar, according to Mr.. Cohen's
story to the police, broke into the
house and made tour Of the upper
floor, collecting valuables as he went.
and then entered the dining room to
get the silver. The drawers Of the
buffet were stuck fast by reason of
the damp weather. The burglar
pulled; his anger rose; he gave q
mighty jerk. Then he slipped and
dropped to the floor with thud.
The noise awakened the family.
Cohen turned on the electric light and
ran down stairs, while the cries of
the women Of the house aroused the
neighbors. Cohen saw q fat burglar
limp out Of rear door, but says he
abandoned thoughts Of pursuit on see
ing that the burglars retreat was
being covered by q brisk little man
with q gun. The state Of the room
told the story.
The burglar left behind the loot he
gathered. -"

SiIOS $50 and Up.

Gus Lundgren, manager OF the
Long-Bell yard in this city, tells
us he has 'em all skinned on the
-silo proposition this year. He
says he can sell silos from $50 up.
He has the agency for the Tulsa,
Unadilla, Tung-Lok, Cement and
Common Sense kinds, and can
furnish them in any and all
sizes.
Now is the time to figure with
him. He is going to be known
as "Silo Gus" before the summer
is over. He says he can sell a
fine 75-ton silo for 500. Just
think of that, you fellows who
are keeping a good bunch of
cows. Or if you want bigger
ones, he can furnish them, too.
No matter how good a crop
you may have this year, build a
silo. Give your stock rich green
feed next winter-get 100 per cent
feeding value out of everything
you put in the silo. You know
it will pay. If you doubt it, ask
the fellows who are feeding si-
lage this winter.

The Memory
Of a Child.

How many of US ever stop to
consider that a child forms last
ing impressions from the little
things of life, and its associa-
tion with its elders?
How many of as pause to re-
feet that the infantile brain is
constantly reaching out for that
knowledge which is to make or
mar its future?
What are we doing to encour-
age right thinking in the minds
of the little ones in our own
midst, who in time will shape
the destiny of our community?
How many of as, absorbed in
weightier things, are even prone
to ignore the presence of the
manly little fellow who gives US
4 CHEEKY greeting on the street,
and whose sunny countenance is
at once clouded by our seeming
indifference and neglect?
Trivial things are impressed
upon the minds of the young.
Incidents are burned so indelibly
into their memory that often
time itself can never efface them.
One such comes to our mind as
we write these lines. 1t was Of
q small boy who went to a near.
by stream on his first fishing
trip-the epoch of his life.
After hours of vain waiting
for a nibble he finally hooked a
large sucker, and by dint Of
much worrying and sweating
and Juggling succeeded in get.
tingjit to dry land. But just as
success crowned his efforts and
his little heart was beating high
with the JOY of exhibiting his
catch to his mother, a well known
and influential citizen of the
town came along with one small
fish on his string. He looked at
the sucker, remarked that the
two would make a fair meal, and
asked which one should take
them both-he or the child.
The. boy gulped, hesitated,
and then handed over his fish
and went home in tears. And
that one act of selfshness on the
part of a man has remained green
in the memory of that boy for
over thirty years. 1t will never
fade.
We of maturer years have
much to be held accountable for,
for the memory of a child is of
ten as long as its life.
Think it over, brother, and
give it more than a passing
thought.
