THREADING THE BEATEN PATH
Mistake Made by Many Is to Think
They Have Discovered All ThInos
Along the Route.

Most Of US grow weary at times Of
what we call the beaten path. We
have trod it so often that we imagine
We know it's mileposts by heart and
believe that with eyes and ears closed
to what Is going on about us we could
tell in 4 moment our whereabouts.
This may be true to degree, but
such intuition is not given to every
one, and sometimes even to those who
really think they have explored all the
byways Of the great path Of life many
things are yet undiscovered. It all
really is a question of our own abil-
ity to appreciate and use to our ad.
vantage such conditions as influence
our individual lives. OF course, II we
have no desire beyond attaining a
purely worldly success we limit our
possibilities Of enjoying life to its
cess is not everything in this world
It is very good, to be sure, and very
satisfying in way, but even those
who can bear personal testimony to
its many advantages are the first to
admit that wealth and high worldly
position do not comprise the sum total
Of happiness. We must have an inner
life, a consciousness of the existence
Of something better and higher than
the world affords, before we can
really deem ourselves wholly blessed
And that realization is often easier
obtained by the man who has little or
nothing of the worlds blessings than
by his more fortunate brothers who
bask in it's smiles.

When You Buy a Bull Tractor You Are
Paying for Demonstrated Ability

The thousands of Bull Tractors dis
tributed throughout every state of the
Union have proven that the principle
of construction and operation is right
just what intelligent farmers are
demanding-a Tractor that will do
quickly and easily all the traction
work on the farm and at cost much
below the expense of the horses which
it will displace.
1t will work in winter or summer.
Will do all the blowing, discing and
seeding. The "Bull" will run the ma
nure spreader, draw heavily loaded
wagons, hay leaders, mowers, binders,
etc.
The Bull" will do all the work a

Maternity Hospitals for Cuba,

The president OF Cuba has signed .
law providing 100000 for the erection
Of six maternity hospitals, one in each
province on the island. OF this sum
100000 is allotted for the hospital in
the province of Havana and 100000
each for hospitals in the other prov
inces. The money is to be appropri-
ated from the sum accruing to the
state from lottery prizes that are never
claimed.

stationary engine will dot will run
corn shelters, feed grinders, small
shredders, threshers and ensilage cut
tiers. 1t will run road graders, move
small buildings, haul logs, and has
proven of great worth in modern road
building.
Scores Of road crews are using the
Bull" to haul cement and other heavy
loads, pull grading plows and drags
where horses could not possibly do the
work so cheaply and easily-and one
mans time is all that is required.
The ''Bulr' lightens the work on the
farm and makes it possible to interest
the boys and keep them at home. Com
petent hired help is also easier to Sc
cure and keep.

NOT GLAD TIME FOR WHALES
Resemblance TO a Submarine Already
Is Known to Have Meant
Death TO One.

"Ip the North sea lived a whale"
That was long ago. Oliyette in Au-
drains long popular operetta told about
the Iuckless end of that marine NAM
NAL in melodious fashion. That whale
met torpedo. and. mistaking it for
another and undesirable fish of strange
shape, gave it battle with dire results.
Now from the same region we have
authentic information of whale which
was mistaken, not by another whale.
but by a warship, for a submarine
boat
The body of that whale has been
cast up on the Dutch coast full of
holes made by three-inch shells. Per
haps a whale resembles a submarine
more closely than 1t resembles a tor
pedo. There are architectural differ
ences, to be sure, which would be
noted except in moments of extreme
excitement On and near the North
sea today. however, there is a great
deal of excitement, and this doubtless
perfectly neutral creature has suffered
in consequence of 1t. There is no evi-
dence that this whale, like his prede-
cessor, loved to swagger and bully"
or that 'the ladies loved him so" Not
being IN comic opera, he; or she, pre-
sumably had no characteristics un-
usual to the whales of sober natural
history. No record of the incident ex
cept the stranding of the mortal rem
nant exists. One who would describe
the encounter must use his imagina-
ton. A Kipling or Bullen might be
moved TO splendid utterance by con-
temptation of this tragedy, but in
daily newspaper we must stick TO
facts. and the ascertained facts in this
case are Scant.

THE PERIODS OF CESSATION
Approximate Figures Given for Com
mon Farm Animals-Considerab
Variation Is Likely.

So many inquiries have been re-
ceived relative TO the period Of gesta-
ton for common farm animals that we
give the following brief statement OF
the approximate periods: Mares,
IL months; cow, 2S5 days; sheep. 5
months: goats. months: SOW, 4
months; dog. 63 days; cat, so days;
rabbit. 80 days: squirrel. IS days: rat.
2S days: turkey, incubation, % TO so
days: guinea-hen, % TO 26 days; geese.
Ct TO SO days; ducks, "A 10 26 days;
hen. 10 TO 81 days canary birds. 10 to
Il days.
1t must be remembered that the
above figures are only approximate
and that considerable variation will be
experienced. For example, record of
764 COWS showed a shortest period of
220 days and longest period of 313
days, with an average of 2s5 days.
A record of % sows showed ex-
tremes of 100 and 1913 days while rec
ORD OF another ten sows showed
periods varying from 101 to 116 days.
The age, breed, condition, care and
feed of animals affect the length Of
their period o. CESSATION.
