No Other Need Apply.

She was attired IN the rakish style
which suggests the bashi-bazouk, and
she swept into the shoe store with a
dashing air.
ooh, where is he?" she exclaimed,
all her dash whiting with sudden dis
appointment Il mean your little shoe
clerk that had the bald head-and one
of his legs is bent"
Sorry, madame" smiled the pro-
prietor "He has left our employ. He
is employed by the firm across the
street
She waited to hear no more, but
sailed forth making for the store
across the street. There at the door
stood the little bald-beaded clerk on
his bent leg waiting for customers
like Patience on monument, smiling.
$50 glad!" she exclaimed breath
lessly. Il must have pair of shoes,
and simply cannot wear them unless
you fit them for mel"
Such are the whims which govern
trade in the retail market, evel4 as the
winds blow without apparent logic.

Philosophy for the Day.

1T is an optical illusion that makes
the task at hand seem commonplace,
the far off significant The mountains
near by appear rocks and stubble
fields; in the distance they are clothed
With blue beauty, majestically out
lined against the sky. Similarly, we
see about us the prosaic details of
life, while in far off times great deeds
and lives appear splendidly outlined
against the gray horizon of the past.
So we are apt to think that if we
had but been born in some distant
time and place, we, too, would have
lived heroically to the great causes
then challenging men. How gladly
would we have died at Thermopylae,
fought at Bunker Hill, shared the pris
on of Socrates or stood with Bruno at
the stake! Illusion-sheer illusion of
time and place! Life has always been
commonplace to commonplace people;
it has been sublime only when men
have lived sublimely. =" Self Culture

Realistic Scenery.

Pneumatic scenery and stage set
tings are now being used in an en-
deavor to make them more realistic
and at the same time conserve the
portableness and convenience of the
present type of fiat and built-up paper
and wood forms. This is made of a
rubberized fabric and so arranged that
it may be inflated quickly and moved
about with ease The idea has been
worked out in reproducing trees upon
the stage, with the result that they
appear very real from short distance.

WHAT DO you SEE IN OTHERS?

1.-THE image of God is in the lowliest
outcast, and we can find it if we look
for it and be neighbor of that man" "
says Jacob A. Riis.
One of the finest fruits of culture is
the power to see the man or woman
whom God made in his own image
and not the one who is SCARED by
faults and deficiencies, the one who is
dwarfed by vicious living. 1t is only
the generous, loving soul who ever
attains to this degree of culture.
Most of us are inclined to judge peo-
pie too much by their mean traits, by
their mistakes, their shortcomings
their peculiarities. 1t is only the
broad. charitable, great-hearted man
or woman who is blind to the defects
of others and always ready TO enlars =
upon their good qualities. They rel
ize the truth that there is a God in the
meanest of men, a philanthropist in
the stingiest miser, a hero in the big
gest coward. which an emergency
great enough might call out.
A fault-fnding, criticizing DISPOSE
ton is fatal to all excellence. Moth
ing will strangle growth quicker than
a tendency to hunt for flaws, to re-
ioice in the unlovely. like a hog which
always has his nose in the mud and
rarely looks up. The direction in
which we look indicates the life aim,
and people who are always looking
for something to criticize. for the
crooked and the ugly, who are al
wavs suspicious. who invariably look

Dairying the Principal Industry.
Dairying is the industry, however,
which is making dollars for the Mani
toba farmer. 1t is developing at a rap
id rate in this Province for that par
ticular reason. The output of cream
cry butter last year was 100000
pounds, at an average price of 27.5
cents per pound. which was an in
crease over the previous year of a
million pounds. The output of dairy
butter was recorded last year at 1885,
276 pounds. The Government depart
ment says that again this year a sub
stantial Increase in the dairy output
will be shown from this Province.
From this same source of information
one finds that through the splendid
growth in winter dairying, Winnipeg
now, for the first time in years, is
able to obtain a sufficient supply OF
milk and sweet cream from its city
dairies to satisfy its demand through
out the year without having to import
large quantities of these products
from the United States as was done
not longer than two years ago.-Ad-

MANITOBA'S AGRlcUL TURAL
INDUSTRY
REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN
THAT PROVINCE DURING THE
PAST FEW YEARS.

The past year has shown that the
Province of Manitoba, the Premier
Province of Western Canada, stands
out prominently in point of wealth in
her agricultural productions. Mani
toba had an excellent yield of wheat
IN 1914, the oat crop was not so good,
and with the high price received. every
farmer was placed in a good financial
position
For some years, as is probably the
case in all new countries, Manitoba
went largely into the growing of
grain, and while this paid we'll for
time, it was found that having to pur-
chase his meat, his milk and num-
Der of other daily requisites, the farm
did not pay as it should Now, there
is another side to it. Fodder crops
are grown, cattle are being raised,
cheese factories and creaneries are
established, and the result is that the
financial position of the farmers of
Manitoba is as strong as that of those
In any other portion of the continent.
Scarcely farmer today but has real
lied that the growing of grains alone
has precariouS side, and that posi-
i've security can only be assured by
diversified farming, and securing the.
latest modern and most economic
methods. Therefore timothy, clover,
alfalfa, rye grass and fodder corn are
universally grown. Most wonderful
success meets the efforts of the farm
ers in the cultivation of these grasses,
and the yields compare favorably
with those of many older countries,
while In many cases they exceed them.
1t is worth while recording the acre
age of these crops this season as com
pared with last, because the figures re-
fleet the remarkable progress that is
being made in dairying and in the
beef and pork industry. In 1913 bronze
grass was sown on 24,912 acres, rye
grass on 21,917 acres, timothy on
1912 acres, clover on 1928 acres, al
falfa on 4,709 acres and fodder corn on
20,223 acres. In 1914 the respective
acreage under those crops were %, 444
acres, 27,100 acres, 165,99O acres, 1912
acres, and 10,250 acres and 30,43O acres.
Alfalfa particularly is coming into its
own, the acreage having been more
than doubled last year.
1t is simply the natural process of
evolution from the purely grain farm
ing which Manitoba knew as the only
method twenty years ago to the more
diversified forms of agriculture that
is responsible for the development
along these other lines in this Prov
ince. Alberta is coming to it at an
earlier stage than did Manitoba. Sas-
skatchewan, too, is following rapidly
in the same direction.
Then, as her fodder crop and root
crop acreage indicate, there have been
increases in the holdings of all kinds
of live stock during the past twelve
months, according to the corresponds
ent for the Toronto Globe. Beef cattle
number $4,000 head this year, as
against $4,000 last year; mich cows
are 160,474 head, as against 1898
head; pigs number $4,000 as against
248,000; sheep number $4,000, as
against $4,000; and there are 1926, 900
horses, as compared with 100000 at
this time last year These are the
latest Provincial figures, and they
show that despite the great efflux of

ARMY WORM.
Invades Shiawassee County and Does
Considerable Damage.-Pest
Short Lived.

The army worm has within the past
ten days done great damage to grow
ing crops in various parts Of the state
and the loss will be enormous. Shia-
wassee county has so far escaped with
comparatively small injury in scatter
ed portions Of several townships. The
principal loss is in the oat and corn
fields. The worm, which bears a
striking resemblance to cut worm,
is from an inch to an inch and a half
long. In company with countless
numbers of its kind it enters a field,
destroying the crop in the field within
a day. The worm climbs the stalk of
the grain and sewers the individual
branches of the head Of the. grain. Its
action is especially destructive where
the grain is bent to the ground be-
cause Of rain or wind. Apparently,
the food value of the kernels of grain
means nothing to the worm, for it
simply cuts them off and leaves them
lying on the ground untouched. Agri-
cultural scientists differ as to the mo-
tive Of the worm, and why it cuts the
grain without eating it. When the
crop of a field is practically destroyed,
for even the straw is then worthless,
the conquering swarm Of worms which
have, SO aptly been named "army
worms" marches on.
The worm possesses an unfailing
sense of direction. 1t invariably pro-
ceeds from an oat field to corn field,
following the same line of action as in
the oat field.
Prof. Rufus H. Petite, entOmolo-
gist at M. A. c., predicts that within
a few days'the worms will burrow into
the ground and there develop into an
other form of worm life known as
pupae. The. worm with which the
crops Of the farmers are now afflicted
is of the second generation. A third
generation will appear in. September,
but will not be serious pest
The farmer has strong ally in its
fight against the worm in the tachina
fly, its natural parasitic enemy. The
fly lays its eggs in the worms.
