Modesty Of Bach.


From the time when Bach was so
fortunate as to receive the appointment
of 0rganist at Arnstadt, with an an
nual salary OF $40 to $50. his desires
were apparently fulfilled. He sought
for no higher post, and only when a
new one was offered him did he ac-
cept it thankfully as gift Of PrOvi-
dence In every new position it was
his only aspiration to do his duty faith
fully. and accordingly he made bis
gifts serve his place. so that as an or
ganist he composed organ pieces; as
the Weimar chapelmaster psalms and
sacred cantatas and chamber music and
as the musical director of the st. Thorn
as school his great polyphonic, difficult
vocal works. Kings and princes not
tnfrequently commanded him to play
to them He did their win modestly
and. fully satisfied, returned to his
simple home. He must have known
that he was the greatest organ vir-

To hunt and kill mice. rats, rabbits

serves its master well, never firing In

nobler animals do. The ferret Is a
typical killer and blood shedder. 1t has
no friends and apparently wants none.

1t likes to kill not for the sake of

Now, having in view the further de-
velopment of the swine industry Of
the State, it has been thought good
plan to follow the example of one Of
our sister Southern States by the or
ganization Of Boys Pig Clubs.
The object Of such Club would be:
/. To stimulate an interest in swine
production and to teach the boys how
to raise better and cheaper hogs by
the use of improved blood and the
growing of forage crops.
g. To increase the number of hogs
raised ON the farm in order that the
meat for the home and that required to
feed the extra farm labor may be pro-
vided instead of being bought.
3. To complement the work of the
Boys Corn Club by showing the boys
how they can proftably sell their corn
through hogs.
4. To encourage tho home curing
of meats on the farm
5. To teach the boys how to Judge
hogs and to select them for breeding
or market purposes.
s. To encourage the growing of
forage crops and discourage the use of
high-priced feeds.
q To instruct the boy in a prac-
teal way in the management of feed
Ing, sanitation, and prevention of dis
eases Of swine, all Of which informa-
ton proves valuable with respect to
other forms of live stock work.
g. To give the boys means OF
earning some money for themselves
while at home.
8. To instill in the boys while
young. love of animals which will re-
suit in their taking more interest in
farm life, and to furnish them at the
same time, work which will, in prac-
teal way, give an insight into tho
business side Of farm life and incite
in them desire to struggle for and
attain success. Is not such an effort
worth while?

TORPEDO BOAT DESTRoYERS.

Play In Naval Warfare.

They Have Many Important Parts to
Play In Naval Warfare.
Torpedo boat destroyers, as the name
implies, were first built to engage the
small torpedo boat. which had become
serious peril TO the big battleships
and large cruisers.
So serious was the menace that
searchlights and rapid fire guns were
regarded as unreliable for the protec-
ton Of these big ships against this
smaller craft 1t was thus that the de-
stroyer was born. and. with gradua-
ton. its duties were extended until
they included all that was formerly
done by the small torpedo boat, and
much more besides.
1t is a fact that the modern destroy
er is three or even four times as large
as one of the earlier type, which natu-
rally renders 1t much more seaworthy
and obviously increases its radius Of
action. seeing that it Is capable Of car
rying much more fuel.
The objects Of modern torpedo boat
destroyer fotilla are many. Perhaps
the paramount duty of every vessel in
the -6otilla is to discharge its torpedoes.
should it get near enough, at the enc
my's big battleships But very inn
portant office to fulfil is that of scout
ing. which comprises locating and re-
porting the position of the enemy.
Should the enemy make night at
tack the destroyers are relied upon to
locate and report the position of the
attacking fleets torpedo craft, as well
as sink or drive them away before they
can force an attack against the bigger
battleships London Telegraph.

can be helped.
4. Handle as little as possible.
5. Save only well shaped. Ill
shaped ones rarely hatch.
s. Store in clean, not too dry,

mediary through whom the identity OF

In fact, l know it would well repay
any community to have community
spirit enough to build up reputation
for high-grade produce. just as the
dairymen have In many communities
with one or another Of dairy breeds OF
cattle. This win go long way to-
ward removing the suspicion that may
exist in the minds of the city house
wives that farmers are always en-
deavoring to hoodwink them in some
way or another. New York butter
dealers send their representatives
through the dairy districts in the West
to bid for the output of creameries
known to produce butter of a high
grade. and a reputation for superior
product is well worthy the ambition of
any individual or community, COM
munity preferably, because it lifts
every individual and proves an attrac-
ton for buyers that one isolated in
dividual never could prove.
AS have observed. there is great
loss in marketing perishable products.
The more directly you can market
your products the more you can reduce
this loss and the better returns you
can enjoy. We often hear the ques-
tion. docs farming pay?" As long as
