What True Love Is

Love is the master power of the world.
Love is a magnet. No purpose or object
can resist the influence of a great and
persistent love any more than the needle
can resist the pole.
Love creates happiness, health. success
and inspiration
Love is the impulse OF nature, which
gives US foliage, flowers and fruit, Every
blade OF grass is a love word of the earth
for the sun.
Love is strong as death. Many waters
cannot quench love, neither can the floods
drown It.
Love Is never satisfied with doing or
giving anything but the best

Don't Get Discouraged

The Modern Rejected

Then, sick and desolate from vain desire,
He pined away.
Tho gallant uuestlng knight OF Arthurs days,
Who pleaded for the love maid denied
In silence bore the bitter pang-then crossed
The StyEian tide.
The Georgian buck, when chivalry yet lived.
And his hot love was scorned by some fair
maid;
For love gave lite-and in his aching heart
Plunged his own blade,
But when the life of modern man seems
wrecked
BY maiden flckleness, or loves miscarriage; ;
Scorning swift DEATH he seeks In other arms
Slow death-by marriage!

have tested out in my own gardens about thirty varieties of tomato. In that lot I have found just two which 1 seem to grow best and which my cus- 1 toners seem to prefer. Now I stick to those two Out of every hundred plants l set ninety eight are of these i sorts. It is quite reasonable to as sume that this sort of limitation. which has forced upon me, will also be sen sible in even the smallest kitchen gardens.
 Find out what kinds you can raise, and then stick to the one or two which you like best. Don't keep changing seeds every spring, just because the scotsman blows extra hot about some of his new varieties.
 At the same time, don't forget that every good variety was once a new one and untried. There's such thing as being conservative. and such a thing as being reactionary,-old fogy- ish The only way in which our fruits and grains and plants are improved is by the breeding of new strains. When one is offered with a big flourish of catalogue trumpetings as a twentieth century wonder and the very finest thing ever discovered, just take the brag with little salt. Maybe it is a fine thing.-for Florida or Texas: Maybe it is better -fiavored-in some
  productive.--in the other fellows garden. And. maybe it is just the one sort for your uck-patch and your table.
 You never can tell without first find- ing out When I order my years seeds, l first select the old -standbys which l have known and trusted for years. Then I look carefully over the "Nov- cities" If l find among them some thing which apparently ought to prom ise well for my land and my climate and my market. ! send for the smallest advertised packet of that variety. and try it cut with dozen or twenty plants put right in beside my regulars. and having the same conditions and treatment Every year I try about a dozen plants of some new tomato, for example: always at least one new potato: generally a new bean and pea. In the last dozen years I have by this means found a real gold mine in one or two of the much praised novelties. Usually the harvest makes me mighty glad that 1 didn't plunge" on any of them. They are ordinarily much less satisfactory than the standard sorts, and they always cost more They may be just the thing for Smith. or Jones. or Robinson: but they're mighty apt to be no-goods for John Farmer.

CWritten Specially For The Bulletin.)
 The Agricultural Experiment sta tion of a neighboring state lists S04 varieties of apples as grown within it's borders. each one differing enough from all the others to demand a special description.
 This would make quite row of ap- pleS if 2 specimen of every kind could be shown at any one time or place.
 Allowing two inches and a half for each apple an exhibit of just one apiece would make a row 16S feet long
 Probably quite a few other varieties are grown in other of the northern and eastern states. It may not be un- reasonable to assume that as many as a thousand different varieties are produced in all the apple states of this part of the country.
 This single fact, as a starter, opens up several lines of thought.
 For one thing; what an illumination ir throws on the variations and mu- tations of the human palate! It is fairly certain that no new variety of apple would be saved and started off on an independent career, unless some who tested it found it's flavor desira ble Every year the wild" apple trees of the pastures and hillsideS produce tnnumbered bushels of fruit which no one thinks of saving. They are made into cider, or fed 10 the pigs, or left to rot on the ground. No one finds them desirable as human food. That an apple is found worthy of grafting into the orchard and naming is pre- sumptive proof that somebody has found it good 10 eat or to cook.
 But the mere fact that somebody has thus approved it. does not prove nor even suggest that "ecery body" will like it. It may strike a responsive spot in the discoverer'S sWalIOw-tube which isn't present in most guIlets. Or it may hit off the tastes of a ma jority and yet fail to please q con- siderable minority. There isn't q single Baldwin apple tree in the little or chard my father set. years ago.

 If il he true. as this indicates, that so widely popular fruit as the BaId- win should have it's decriers how much more probable is it that apples of oth- CT varieties should have enemies as well as friends.

rieties which are offered in profusion every spring: They are invariably produced by specialists who are work ing along just one line, with soil un- usually adapted to that line unaer climate specially provided for that line and themselves b ytaste and prac- tice peculiarly fitted for that line. What such men in such circumstances can do. you and l, working ordinary farms under ordinary conditions, and being quite ordinary people ourselves, can't expect to do.
 I'm delighted to know that there are at least 65 kinds of beans. Because that means that every fellow, no mat ter where he may live or what his taste may be, has 65 chances for get ting a sort he will like and can raise. But for me,-and probably for you.--- there is just one best kind of string beans one best kind of shell beans. and one best kind of Limas. The thing for us to do is to find out which kind that is. And then stick to it.
 The only way I know of to find out is by trial. Taking somebody else's word is about the poorest sort of way to select. The difference between your next neighbours garden and yours may be as wide as that between a garden in Japan and one in Vermont. I have one isolated garden patch of scarce an acre. one end of which will grow fine corn. While the other won't grow any thing but beans,--and dunn poor beans, at that. There couldn't be a greater difference between the soil at opposite ends of that acre if they were a thousand miles apart.
 This ought to be a fine year for gardens. We've had two years in the immediate past which were about as poor ones as could well come in the temperate zone. On the theory of chances this one ought to be extra fine. l hope so, anyway. But. how ever good it may turn out. it won't do all 1t might for our gardens unless we ourselves start them off right, with the right kind of preparation and the right kind of seeds.
 My suggestion this morning is that, whether you're planning a big or a lit- tie garden, you confine most of your energies to the old standbys. Experi- ment gingerly with two or three new things, if you have the land and the time and the disposition.
 But don't bank on them. When you flip a cent the chances are even that it will come heads up. But when you try some fruit or vegetable novelty. the chances are about ten to one that it will prove a fizzle. Once in while you may strike a bonanza. It's bet ter not to expect vne, however.
 You'll be much less likely to be dis appointed
