LEssENING A woMAN's WORK
Conditions During Recent Years Have
Greatly Improved, and Results
Have Been Excellent.

Our ONE are carrying their years
better. Not only is their length of
life increasing, but they are making
their youth last longer. They are
raising stronger children. There is
an uplift to the whole race. Many
explanations are offered, but the big
cause underlying the whole effect is
the improvement of the homes and the
tightening of its drudgery. There is
now more time for improving the
members of the family; more time for
culture and travel; more time for civic
and other public matters.
Staying young is largely a matter
of keeping interested in things, and
to keep interested, there must be r
iety. So the current criticism that
woman is flying from one thing to an
other and undertaking too much and
wearing out her nerves is not alto
gether sound. Some of them do,
doubtless, but they are the excep-
tons. Woman's great trouble in the
past has been routine.
Doctors found that the reason so
many cases of mental disease came
from the farms was that farm women
did not have enough interests. Their
loneliness was disastrous. Now that
the farm women have the telephone
and the automobile and the social So
cieties and other means of diversion
and employment, conditions are i'm
proving.
So, the lessening of woman's work
by system and the use of all labor
saving devices possibly really means
that besides the enjoyment of better
hours she has time for things that
will broaden and stimulate her mind,
bring her in association with other
women and give her the opportunity
to be part of the larger life and prog
ress of the age.-Woman's World.

NOT SUNDAY SCHOOL TEXT
JOhnny's Badge, With Its Inscription,
Gave Pastor Something in the
Nature of a Shock.

Little Jack was unfortunately proud
of the big, round badge which his
father had brought home from the
Automobile show. 1t had a picture
of a famous automobile on one side,
and a motto in large golden letters on
the other. He wore it to Sunday
school.
The pastor walked down among the
Scholars" smiling upon each bright
faced little boy and girl, after the
time-honored fashion of pastors on
such errand bent. The badge on the
little boys coat caught his eye.
"Ah, my son, what have you
there? ?"
"That's my golden text" answered
Jack eagerly, beaming like a chessy-
cat.
"Your golden text? That's very
nice, indeed. And what does it say?"
Little Jack held it up for inspection.
The pastors fatherly smile did not
disappear, but you might say it stiff
fened as he read Jacks golden text:
"Ain't it He'll to be Poor!"

R IN
Animals Carefully Trained for the
Service.

The almost human instinct possess
ed by trained cavalry and artillery
horses provides a striking illustration
of equine intelligence. They under
stand the words of command quite as
well as their riders and drivers and
will answer to the regular calls in
the most perfect manner One has
only to watch cavalry executing a
turning movement to realize how per-
feet the understanding is between the
horses and the men, and after a few
lessons in charging the horses will
prick up their ears the moment they
hear the word and throw themselves
into the rush as whole-heartedly as
the riders.
OF course the animals have to go
through a strict course of training
before they reach this pitch of perfec-
ton. As a rule they are bought as
raw colts, and after the preliminary
breaking INJECTING used to bit, sad
die and rider-they are taught to
jump and lie down. When this part
of the training is satisfactorily accom-
plished the horse is taught to halt
sharply at the word of command, to
pull up in its own length, even when
galloping, and to walk, trot and gal
lop in line. This last is a very essen
tial part Of his education, because
when a charge is ordered in battle
it is essential that all the horses
should be kept in a mass.
A very important part of the train
ing is to teach a horse to stand fire,
At first the horses are terrified when
thew hear the thunder of artillery and
the crack of rifles. They get restless
and "whinny" with fright. After
having been through the hands of the
experts at the cavalry school, however
a horse will allow round after round
to be fired over its body without NOV
ing.
Naturally a perfectly trained army
horse is greatly treasured. The
British army veterinary corps has
been so successful during the present
war that it is estimated that out of
$4,000 wounded or sick horses that
have passed through the hands of
the corps 10000 have been returned
for service at the front again, while
a very large proportion of the remain
der are making good progress at con
valescent farms.
The corps is now the largest or
ganization of its kind attached to any
army in the world. Many of the
cases it has dealt with have been
wonderful examples of surgical skill,
and the lives of hundreds of animals
have been saved, of which many would
hitherto have been condemned as in
durable, even in times of peace.

the Lord admOn-
ishes His followers to have-the love
which In honor prefers one another.
This love doubtless stands pre-eminent
above earthly love, especially because
founded upon a religious basis. Be-
cause David loved God and sought to
be guided by His will, he conducted
himself with wisdom; and because Jon
athan discerned this spirit of wisdom
and righteousness, he loved David.
In proportion as we understand the
Bible and receive the spirit of the
Truth, we shall appreciate and copy

of friendship or of duty to a monarch,

are many influences operating toward
a spirit of selishness, avarice, jeal-
ousy; while the influences for true

Jonathan replied that David had gone

Colonel Culpepper of Virginia was
a thoroughly democratic body when
mellow, but quite the reverse in his
natural state. He was known to fore
gather with strangers and in their
company pass a rousingly happy night
with the flowing bowl. One morning
after such a joyous occasion he was
accosted by a young man, to whom he
paid not the slightest attention. The
other persisted, however, and said,
"Why, colonel, surely you recall that

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BLASTING TREE STUMPS.

Government Expert Gives Some Prao-
teal Advice to Amateurs.
To amateurs wishing to do their own
blasting, here is some good advice from
a government expert:
While there is an element of danger
in their use, any one who is ordinarily
careful can safely handle the low grade
powders used in stump blasting.
All powders should be used when
fresh.
Never use or try to use powder that
has been on hand for considerable
time or that shows by the wrappers
that 1t has been subjected to varying
degrees Of heat.
Powder that has been frozen should
not be thawed unless for immediate
use.
Large amounts Of explosives should
not be purchased unless adequate
means of storing them are provided.
\ Stumps can be blasted most economi-
cally when the soil is filed with mois-
ture, as the water fills the air spaces
and the stumps leave the earth more
easily. Stumps in sandy soil should
never be blasted when the soil is dry.
All stumps, except those having a
taproot, are blasted by placing the ex-

plosive in the earth beneath the stump.
For small sized stumps that require not
more than one stick of powder the
hole may be made with a crowbar.
For larger stumps use an earth auger
two or three inches In diameter, or If
the stumps are very large dig out a
hole with a bar and shovel. Usually
the force of the charge is directed
more toward the side from which it is
loaded. So it is best to place the
charge slightly beyond the center of
the stump.
No man should attempt TO use pow
der without first thoroughly learning
the best methods OF handling the eX-
plosive he intends using. This can be
done by observing others at work and
by reading directions furnished by the
manufacturer.

SOME FARM NOTES.

A good orchard on the farm is a fine
form of life insurance.
He who makes a success in the chick
en- business from the start will be the
man who does things, not he who waits
for a favorable opportunity.
Many prefer two-year-old hens for
breeders. At least have yearling hens
we'll developed If they are the breed
ers.
Salt is cheap. Give the cows all they
care for.
Never breed from immature stock.
Wireworms sometimes destroy seed
corn. 1t has been found that they can
be destroyed by the following: Dilute
arsenate Of lead paste to the consist
ency of paint. Put the seed In 1t and
stir, then spread out to dry before
planting.
The stiff old broom Is an excellent
thing to clean out the feed troughs
and this should be done after every
feeding.
A henhouse without south window
is a mistake and will not give satisfac-
tory results.
Raising dairy cows is one of the
most profitable lines of farming.
