Clean Eggs.

The poultry man finds at times that
he cannot wash every stain from his
basket of eggs with water but by rub
bling the stains with homemade cider
vinegar every trace of the blemish wilt
be removed and leave the egg clean
and shining. He should always be
careful that his eggs are clean when
ne takes them tc market. If he does
not receive higher price for clean
eggs than for dirty ones, he certainly
ought to.

NEVER TOO LATE FOR SELF-IM-

NEVER TOO LATE FOR SELF-lM-
PROVEMENT.
A New York millionaire-a prince
among merchants-took me over his
palatial residence on Fifth avenue,
every room of which was a triumph
of the architects, of the decorator s.,
and of the upholsterer's art. / was
told that the decorations of a single
sleeping room had cost $4,000. On
the walls were paintings which cost
fabulous prices, and about the rooms
were pieces of massive and costly fur
niture and draperies representing a
small fortune, and covering the floors
were carpets on which it seemed al
most sacrilege to tread. He had ex-
pended a fortune for physical pleas
ure. comfort, luxury and display, but
there was scarcely book in the
house.
It was pitiful to think of the physi-
cal surfeit and mental starvation of
the children of such home as that.
He told me that he. came to the city
a poor boy, with all his worldly pos
sessions done up in little red ban
dana. 81 am millionaire" he said,
s.'but want to tell you that / would
give half l have today for decent
education"
One of the sad things about the
neglected opportunities for self-im-
provement is that they put people of
great natural ability at disadvan-
tage among those who are their men
tai interiors.

uralist whose education was so ne
elected in youth that later, when he
came to know more about natural his
tory than almost any man of his day.
he could not write a grammatical SEN
tence, and could never make his ideas
live in words, perpetuate them in
books, because of his ignorance of
even the rudiments of an education.
Think of the suffering of this splen-
did man, who was conscious OF pos
sessing colossal scientific knowledge.
and yet was absolutely unable to ex-
press himself dramatically! 1t is
difficult to conceive of a greater mis-
fortune than always to be embar-
raised and handicapped just because
of the neglect of early years.
Many a girl of good natural ability

cheap clerk or in mediocre position

schools, lectures, books, libraries and
periodicals, that men and women who
are determined to improve themselves
have abundant opportunities to do So
One trouble with people who are
smarting under the consciousness of
deficient education is that they do
not realize the immense value of util-
1zing spare minutes. Like many boys
VINO will not save their pennies and
small change because they cannot see
how fortune could ever grow by
the saving, they cannot see low little
studying here and there each day will
ever amount to good substitute for
college education.
People who feel their lack of educa-
ton, and who can afford the outlay,
can make wonderful strides in a year
by putting themselves under good tu-
tors, who will direct their reading and
study along different lines.
There is one special advantage in
self-education-you can adapt the
studies to your own particular needs
OObIOA bAQA yOO COQ1Q Ill SCuOOl OF COL
lege. Everyone who reaches middle
life without an education should first
read and study along the line of his
own vocation, and then broaden him
self as much as possible by reading
on other lines.
Every well-ordered household ought
to protect the time of those who de-
sire to study at home At a fixed
hour every evening during the long
winter there should be by common
consent quiet period for mental con-
centration, for what is worth while in
mental discipline, quiet hour unin-
terrupted by the thief callers. There
is a divine hunger in every normal
being for self-expansion, yearning
for growth or enlargement. Beware
of selling this craving of nature for
self-unfoldment. There is untold
wealth locked up in the long winter
evenings and odd moments ahead of
you. A great opportunity confronts
you. What will you do with it?

No Longer Room at the Top.

Prof. Scott Nearing says the motto,

account of me fact that in every great
industry only three of every one thou

that is, the soil must slip from the mold board
evenly, leaving the surface bright and clean.
Poor securing is due to many causes. The mold
board may be too soft to take good polish, or
it may be imperfectly ground, or slight mper-
fections may have been left in the surface
To test good mold board is easy matter.
By running the fingers over the surface from

For breaking new sod, pillow with long,
sloping share and mold board should be used, but
for stubble welltilled ground the pillow with
short steep mold board is better. The breaking
pillow turns the sod evenly, and covers all
growth that it rots and forms humus in the
soil.
Upon the shape of the pillow also depends the
draft. A pillow unsuited to the soil which it is
used will cause much greater draft than is
necessary, wearing out the strength of the team

Some farmers claim that the only frst-class
blowing that can be done is with the walking
plow but have seen some of the best blowing
done with sulky pillow. There is not much diff
ference in the draft sulky pillow carrying

because the friction of the mold board OF the
walking pillow is eliminated to some extent
The draft of the walking pillow depends largely
upon the way in which it is set. If properly

wing does not press too heavily against the

seen the men follow, the pillow round after round
without even touching the handle, except at the
turning point
Another important thing in blowing is to have
the width of the furrow just right. If the pillow
is set to take larger land than it can turn
over properly it will leave much vegetation I'M
covered, and the field will be ridgy. The pillow
should be set to exactly cut and cover all that 1T
enters and no more. When plow runs properly
it should set exactly level.
No man is good farmer unless he is first of
all good plowman. Upon the skill with which
he plows his fields depends to a considerable
extent the facility with which he cultivate
his crop, and, in fact, it's yield.
The question of deep or shallow blowing is one
which must be studied by every man. and

Deeply plowed soil contains moisture longer,
affords better home for fertilizer and all kinds of

This kind of implement was in use for thou
sands of years afterward, and even now in Old

land of America the crooked stick is still used.
About hundred and fifty years ago pillow

held sway for fifty years, when some genius of
a blacksmith put an iron edge on it, and it was
then thought that the perfection of pillow making
had been reached. Then came the pillow with
the iron mold board and wooden frame This
was followed by the allsteel plow, which now
reigns supreme.
The aristocratic offspring of the all-steel pillow
is the disk, and this implement in connection
with the plow itself, is doing such good work that
it does not possible that we shall see any
decided Improvement in this instrument for some
time
Good blowing depends as much upon the kind
of pillow used as upon the man who directs it.
great many farmers have yet to learn that
plow will not do satisfactory work in all kinds
of soil and under all conditions.
Perhaps the best pillow to use is the one with
the chilled share and point. / think it is a mis-
take to a pillow point that has to be con-
stantly renewed; for every time a blacksmith
thinkers with it he turns out different kind of
pillow, and this is one reason why there is so
much poor blowing done in this country. When
gets pillow which does the work to his
entire satisfaction he should stick to it, and
permit it's shape to be changed, If pos
sble. With soft point that mas to be con-
stantly renewed this is not possible, and that is
why prefer the chilled point.
