When wellington Was General.

The greatness of Wellington is never
more admiringly remembered than in
times of strife-and perhaps never
more usefully quoted. The duke one
day wanted bridge constructed, and
the officer of the royal engineers whom
he consulted on the matter reported
that it could not be managed. Another
officer was sent for, from another d.
vision of the army. with the result
that the task was duly accomplished.
This caused the duke TO put the fol-
lowing in ORDERS" He who in war
fails to do what ne undertakes, may
always plead the accidents which in
variably attend military affairs: but
he who declares a thing to be impos
sible. which is subsequently accom-
plished. registers his own incapacity7
Another wise saying" of Wellington
comes from another reader, and it is
appropriate TO the moment He was
asked what was the best test of a
great general, and he answered: To
know when to retreat; and to dare
TO do it."-Lon0on Chronicle.

Have Chickens Some Sense?

In Farm and Fireside, in the poul-
try-rais:ng department, a contributor
tells the following story about an ex-
perience with his chickens:
An amusing incident happened last
summer | had a fine flock of chick
ems in an old garden adjoining the
yard | cared for them, and as it hap
pened no one else went about them for
weeks. | was in the habit of taking
the fresh air and sunlight remedy
not wearing a hat. One day went
toward the gate with my hat on, and
the entire flock took to flight. Reliev-
ing myself of the scarecrow:I again
went into the yard, and the excite
ment Immediately ceased.
Chickens are quick and alert to
every noise, object and movement.
They observe before they venture.
Chickens love and trust their mas
ter They watch and wait for his COM
ing. They understand every movement
he makes, and know the general con-
tents of the different vessels ne car.

Canvey Island.

Canyey island, which is now aim
ing to usurp some of the trade of
the Thames by providing deep sea
wharves for the unloading of the
worlds riches, began its career in q
somewhat peculiar fashion, says the
London Chronicle. 1t provided a
jumpingofr place for Danish pirates,
who boarded up the stolen wealth OF
Essex until the wind was favorable
for voyage home. Canvey, should it
become great entrepot, will probably
lose one of it's distinctions, that OF
having only one church within its
borders. Another distinction is the
possession of house that has no like
ness anywhere else in England. This
is a six-sided Dutch cottage Of 1921.
built at the time when imported
Dutchmen were constructing the dams
which to this day protect the island
from slipping into the sea.

BREEDING FOR THE FUTURE
Industrial Type of Horses VIE Be in
Demand at the Conclusion
of the War.

The American farmer who seeks to
take advantage of the horse famine
now being made by Krupp and Creu-
sot guns should dismiss all thought
of supply ing the armies now in the
field. In all probability the war will
be over before his first foals are
weanad. What he should do is breed
industrial types of horses to fill the
gaps made by the present war, with
perhaps a small percentage of the
type of horses actually preferred for
military use.
Wars may not cease with the end
of the present masterpiece of deviltry,
but there is good reason to believe
that martial glory will be at a dis
count in Europe for many years to
come. Let us get ready, therefore, to
supply the needs of peace, rather than
to satisfy the demands of a Moloch
who soon may be hurled from his
throne.

This is bad enough If there are no
little ones, but if there is child look
ing on with frightened eyes and bated
breath, parents should never utter the
bitter words that rise to their lips
Unconsciously, even in its earliest
years. the child viii take sides with
one or the other The scene viii be
engraved upon its memory while life
lasts
Frequent quarrels of parents, lead
to arrangements and contemplation
of divorce. Ere parents should take
that extreme measure, they should
give thought to the innocent child
whose future they would deliberately
wreck by such course. When the
dovecote has once been desecrated,
the fedglings have no heart to return
there aga.a. Where there is a child
to bind them, husband and wife
should make every sacrifice in keep
ing back their resentment and difficult
ties for the sake of the little life that
would not have looked out wistfully
in this cold and bitter world had it not
been for them. Parents owe it TO their
children to make home for them and
to cause happiness to reign within its
walls
The wife who speaks slightly of her
husband before her children makes a
fatal mistake. The husband who
speaks sneeringly to his wife with the
children looking on paves the way to
be sighted himself by them when he
is old. Father may endeavor to in
fiuence them that mothers in the
wrong. But in the calm judgment of
after years their hearts will turn to
her, as the sunfower turns to the sun.
Children should bind husband and
wife in love and peace till death do
them part.

Ere Risks in EARLY DAYS.

In early days in this country people
had a wholesome respect for fire haz-
ards Way back in 1761 an ordinance
was adopted in New York city de-
manding more effectual prevention of
fires" To that end it was required
that every building in the city south
of Fresh Water shall be made of
stone or brick and rooted with tile
or slate" 1t would be hard to sad any
legislation in any of the large cities
of this country at the present time
which contains such rigid provisions
for preventing the spread of fire in
congested districts. Truly. progress
in fire prevention is slow.

For several years / have been try
ing manure mulches in my home vege-
table garden. The results have been
most encouraging. ASparagus has
thrived with no attention whatever
after the application of fresh horse
manure early in the spring. There
is no reason why every home garden
or should not have fine asparagus

nure as a mulch.
