Poetry and the Soldier.

From music on the march to poetry
on the battlefield is only a step.
Poetry has relieved the tedium be-
fore the action. Mr.. Hutton, in his
Life of Scott. gives the illustration:
When the Lady of the Lake reached
Sir Adam Ferguson he was posted
with his company on a piece of
ground exposed to the enemy's artil-
lery, somewhere, no doubt. on the
lines of Torres vedras. The men
were ordered to be PROSTATE on the
ground; while they kept that attitude,
the captain. kneeling at the head.
read aloud the description of the bat
tie in Canto VI. and the listening SOL
diers only interrupted him by joy.

smell of blood. The quiet cell, the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
Once year the farmer has to fill
his silo. The operation is outside of
the regular routine of farm life, and
unless considerable thought is given
the matter beforehand, it is likely to
prove unnecessarily expensive. Infor-
nation collected by investigators in
the United States department OF ag-
riculture will, therefore, prove useful
TO farmers who have not worked out
for themselves the most economical
system.
Because the silo has been in use for
some years in these states, the inves-
tigators selected Wisconsin and Mich
igan for their work Cost records on
81 farms were carefully kept, reveal
ing wide divergence in the cost OF la
Dor per ton Of filling the silo. 1t was
found, for example, that one farmer
did this for 46 cents, while another
had to spend Sc cents. The average
cost was 81 cents.
The cost of labor varies considera-

satisfactory method, the investigators
adopted for their comparisons a uni
form rate of Is cents an hour for men
and the same rate for a team of two
horses. Engine hire, including the
engineer, was placed at $3.50 per day,
coal at Sc per ton and gasoline at Is
cents gallon. Ten hours were con-
sidered a days work While these
figures cannot of course be consid-
cred as absolute, they afford conven-
lent basis for the individual farmers
calculation OF the expense of filling
his silo. The various methods en-
ployed on the farms that were in
yestigated were classified in three
groups.
~ The most common practice was
tc have one man with three horses on
corn harvester cutting corn in the
field; two men to load the wagons in
the field; three or four men with
teams, depending on the distance from
the field to the silo, to haul the corn

their heads and have no control ever
their acts.
1t is not an easy thing to carry q
level head through life The majority
of mistakes which bring failure and
disgrace are made when people lose
their self-poise and fail to use good
Judgment.
One of the most difficult things for
a young man to do is to keep level
head. 1t is SO easy to lose ones ball
ance, to get "swelled head over a
little prosperity, to lose ones am
bition for forging ahead by raise in
salary. A little ease and comfort ars
great tempters, great destroyers OF
ambition.
It is difficult thing to keep level
head when the storms of temptation
and financial difficulties are raging
about one; but 1t is easier than in
prosperity. There is something in
human nature which braces up
against adversely, which stiffens up
when the world goes hard and makes
one tug the harder; but somehow
ease, comfort and the thought of
prosperity take the spring out OF the
ambition. The motive to push ahead,
to struggle, to strive, is usually
weakened by the feeling of satisfac.
ton that one has achieved something
worth while, that he has gained what
he started out to get.
In perfectly adjusted machine
every part is made with reference to
every other part. The movement of
every wheel in perfect timepiece
must be exquisitely adjusted to the
entire watch, and each must be suit
ed to every other wheel in the watch.
You would not boast of your watch
because it had a very powerful main
spring while all the other parts we're.
very delicately constructed and were
not intended for so much power. We
value a watch In proportion as it
keeps perfect time, for this Is its pur-
pose.
Most people do not realize how
much their success depends upon their
general reputation. 1t will make all
the difference in the world to you
what people think Of you, how they
estimate your ability, what your repu-
tation is for "square-dealing," level
Medicines and good, sound judg-
ment.
Unfortunately the training and edu-
cation of the great majority Of youths
are not calculated to develop SYM
metry of faculty, balance of mental
power. There should be no discrep-
ancy between the physical and the
mental training; no one faculty should
be forced out of all proportion until
the balance is lost.

A story illustrating the reticence
Of the Scotch regarding their private

A train was at railroad station,
when porter put his head into a
car and called out: Anyone in this
car for Doun? Change for Doun.
Anyone for Doun?" No one moved;
and in a few minutes the train vas

and, occasionally, when gasoline en-

This makes a crew of eight or nine

wagons: one man feeds and one man

arrives at the cutter the teamster
changes his team for an empty wagon

it is run out of the way by hand. With
this method, boys who are not strong

be utilized to drive the teams. This

good one, One man, with three

How often it has happened in our
IL great international baseball con-
tests that team which everybody
felt sure would win, has lost the game
through the fatal fumbling of the ball
or a slip through the fingers at a
critical moment Perhaps everything
up to that unfortunate tumble or. slip
foreshadowed victory, and then in an
instant all was lost because perhaps
through an overwhelming sense OF
fear of losing the game some players
brain became confused.
Just so. in the great life game. a
simple slip has often proved fatal
