Sixty Years Ago
The well -worn savinu .h

The well worn saying history repeats itself,'' was never better Illustrated than when reading a \ opy of newspaper called, "Graham's Daily Mail. which fell into our hands the other day. The paper was dated at PhiIadel- phia, Pa., April 2l, 1885. One might think a periodical of this date would be back number in every sense; and it may be surprising to learn that many of it's news paragraphs would not appear out of place in a paper of today, while the subjects of it's leading articles are just as much in the public mind now as then.
 For instance the progress of the European war, in which we read of "the Allies intrench- ments. the propects of peace. and the intimation that Great Britain is little too ambitious about ruling the waves. " Other subjects discussed are the situation in Mexico, Prohibition laws, The Horrors of War, ;" the need of more enlistments in the United States Navy, and Submarine Explorations;;' these last were by means of an improved diving bell.
 In the article on prohibition the editor is confident that such a law will be passed in Pennsyl- vania within a year. He be- lives it the best possible means of controlling the liquor traffic, and considers it only a matter of time when it will prevail for the entire country. Doubtless, how

Husky Turkeys

The following story is reported from the trenches in France.
 A young German lieutenant and his orderly were doing patrol duty. All day long they had been riding through the woods without a bite to eat. Towards evening they came to a battery of heavy artillery where they dis mounted and asked for some SUD- per. The captain in charge of the guns told the young lieuten- ant that he could have some nice turkey. The young man took a hearty bite of the offered meat, then looking up suspiciously, asked;
 Beg your pardon, Captain; did you say this was turkey"
 Why, sure, that's turkey.
 He took few more bites and asked again:
 Are you really sure, Herr Captain, that this is turkey?"
 Certainly, Herr Lieutenant; turkey it is.''
 The lieutenant finished his meal in silence. and thanked the captain for his hospitality. Then he called to his orderly. Fritz" he directed, saddle our turkeysn'

The Origin Of Easter

The origin of Easter as a spring festival IS shrouded in the haze of the awakening of the earth from the sleep of winter as worshipped with pagan rites long before the primitive mission aries of the Christian church to establish their new religion throughout the world, as it was then known. Coinci- dent with the date of celebra- tion was the Paschal feast of the Jews, so that all peoples and creeds recognized the occasion. Before the time of the Puritans in England and Calvin in Europe two great influences regulat- ing the religious thought of the times-celebration of Easter had become an unlicensed carnival to which the people yielded themselves as a reaction after the preaching and as an exam pie and austerity of Lent, but through thelr dignity was restor- ed to the annual festival, and in this spirit it has been continued to the present day.
 In all countries Is this celebra- tion observed, and in none more than in Russia, where the Greek church prevails. Social and religious events in that country are marked by rejoicing and the meetings of the people in the streets whether Czar or Monjik are signalled by kiss and the greeting, Christ is risen. " Particularly at Rome, Paris, Der lin, Jerusalem, St. Petersburg and Mexico is the festival cele- brated with pomp and ceremony. but in all cities and places does the Easter festival demand the full glory of the spring the loveliest flowers, most sumptu- ous music, gorgeous Sacredotal vestments and the smiles and grace and joy of women and children in beautiful attire.
 The Easter festival of our forefathers covers a period of 15 days. The week beginning with Easter Sunday was almost entirely given over to sport and games and general merry-mak- ing. An odd feature of the old time celebration was that of heaving or lifting, the 'heaved" sitting a chair decorated with ribbons. Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday were known as heaving days, the women sitting in chair on Monday and the men on Tuesday. Those heaving or lifting the chair were expected to lift it three times and then kiss the occupant who in turn kissed them. To the regret of the lads and lassies in the dis tricts where the novel ceremony was once performed, the custom has long since died out.
 Easter is a movable festival It is always the first Sunday af- ter full moon which happens upon or next after the 2lst of March; and if the full moon happens upon Sunday, Easter is the the Sunday following Easter this year falls on April 4th, there having been two full moons in March, a very unusual occurance.

Preparing The Land

OiiS VI bilC ilioot ililPoI tuilo steps in the making of a crop is in preparing seed bed. No crop can possibly give the best returns without that precaution and We should not expect the elements of plant food in the soil to become available when the soil IS not put in good tilth before planting. The soil re- qulres attention to insure the best results. The elements of plant food which feed the crop will respond if the sun. air, rainfall and other clements are permitted to thoroughly pene- trate and act upon the soil.
 We readily admit that all land should be broken in the fall or early in the winter; we should 1 therefore believe that much good is to be gotten by breaking the land in the spring if we do not have time to break it in the fall. i Land should be broken before 1 planting and we are neglecting the first important step toward success if we de not break the land All of us have been famil- far with the practice of burning stalks, grass and weeds on the field. then streaking off the land. bedding on the little furrow. and throwing out the middles, all in order to save breaking. Some times it would appear that there was not sufficient time to break land before planting.
 It does not matter how late the season is or may be. or how crowded work may be, or how little time there is left before the regular planting time, there IS always time enough to proper 1 ly prepare the land for crop. If the crop is worth our time and attention it is worth our best efforts. If not we had best plant another crop, And when we do take time to break the land and properly prepare it, we will find a way to use the stalks and grass in the field to supply organic matter to our hungry soils. Our soils must have their organic matter. If it is not put into the soil in the way of stalks and winter cover crops, we will in time be compelled to rest the land entirely for a year or two while we may grow and turn under clover, peas. etc.
 We should therefore turn all the vegetable matter under that is available and we will have to break the land in order to get the rubbish and stalks out of the way. At this time of course 1t is necessary that the stalks be cut so they will not tear out the young plants before they have completely routed. Ifyou do not own a stalk cutter, borrow one.
 Breaking the land will be of advantage to you because of the
 fertilizing value of the material turned under: because you will put the land in good tilth and give good seed bed, because you will have begun to fight the drouth next summer by holding water now; because you will make more plant food in the soil available for the use of your plants: and because human eX- perience has proven that thor ough preparation of the seed bed is one of the most important steps in successful agriculture.

BEES BRING BENEFITS

Wesley Foster. State Bee Inspector
of Colorado, says; IF people knew
what a great source profit is found
in the keeping of bees and how in
teresting the work, there wouldn't be
an unused square foot of ground on
any farmsin the United States" Per-
haps this is broader statement than
is necessary to establish the fact that
bee culture is both interesting and
profitable Bees have one point in
their favor which no other producer
that the writer can call to mind has,
which is that they will produce with
out their keeper making any outlay
of cost for their feed With small
cost for equipment at the outset, a
nice group of hives, full of busy pro-
ducers, can soon be obtained, for the
bees multiply very rapidly. Many
fruitgrowers find that they can carry
a good bee business as a profitable
sideline. The presence of bees on the
fruit farm increases the quantity and
quality of fruit, as they carry the
pollen from one blossom to another
assisting nature in this important
work.-California Farmer.
