Some Things and other Things.

You cannot down rising men. Ability,

level.
If you are to stay on the road and
reach a reasonable speed, you will
have to put in new batteries, Intricate,
rub off the dust and bring your equip
ment up-to-date or get out of the race.
If you have exhausted your fund of
knowledge, your brain has turned TO
ashes, and your enthusiasm has petered
out, you must expect rejection after
inspection.
You may not believe in spiritualism,
but if you make a mistake you will find
it always has a ghost that will haunt
you. Remember lies and mistakes will
not down.
When your enemies cease to find
fault with you, it is then time to COM
mence to worry But when they yell,
you "sure have hit the bull's-eye.
There will always be superior intel
lects because superior progenitors sired
them. Futurity winners are not found
between the shafts of wheelbarrows.
No person can get more out of him
self than he has received from his for
bears. He can only reach as far as his
gifts will carry him.
The greatest danger of democracy
is the discomfort scattered by unthink-
ing demagogues- Democracy is to tear
down the walls of unearned privilege.
1t permits each man to possess what he
can honestly reach.
Merit alone in the long run of years
will rule the earth. A diploma does
not say "a superior intellect, but
merely a trained one. 1t says your
brain has been fed with the thought
that your teachers believe that the
worlds best men have thought.
Work more than you are asked to DO
and you will get more than you ask for.
The man that is everlastingly playing
''safe" is a coward. Such men are not
Such men are billiard
balls with fat spot. They are al
ways in the way, and shout for their
pound of flesh.
Efficient men are the makers of roads
and the pilots of seas; they build in the
wilderness; they live oft times on the
outposts of civilization; they are the
watchers at the dikes; they are the
players of the great game of life; they
are found in all chimes they are uni
versal Spartans.
There is great social sieve and the
only way you can get your exact meas
urements is to Jump into the sieve-it
cannot cheat. If you are big enough
you will not slip through the meshes,
but if you are ''dried up you will
drop through. Progress is a question
of elimination. You may ask for sue

Normal Notes and Comments
Garden Calendar.

Preparing soil for gardening:
Plants breathe like human beings ex-
cept that they breathe all over. Each
part does its own breathing.
The seed in the ground must breathe
Chave oxygen) before it can grow. If
the soil is very wet so that the seed
cannot get air, the seed usually rots in
the ground. Roots need air too.
The soil needs to be loose and for
small seeds, finely pulverized.
The SHOWS and the freezing and thaw-
ing loosen up the soil in fine shape.
When ground is plowed or spaded the
Jumps of dirt should be broken up i'm
mediately or they get too hard to be
easily broken.
When you plant small seeds just bare
ly cover them with loose, fine soil and
then pack the soil down lightly-just
enough to be sure the soil is firm around
the seed.
Plow, pulverize, plant mot too deep,
and water only at intervals of several
days.

TESTING SEED CORN.
Having properly prepared your corn

Do you know, boys, that right now
during the month OF March is the
time to test your seed corn? Do not
delay until spring comes, when it is
either too late or you are so busy
with other things that YOU do not
have time to test your seed corn be-
fore planting it,

it now" There is no telling what the
author had in mind when he wrote
those three little words, but be could
have been thinking about seed corn
testing.
Testing seed corn, like all other
work, should be carried on in sys-

that is not only systematic but also
easy to follow. 1t is given step by
step.
0) Remove the seed ears to the
place where you are going to carry
out the test.
~ Take small pieces of cardboard
say 2x2 inches and fasten one to the
butt of each ear by driving a nail
through the center OF Inc caru D0aru
and into the pith of the, cob. Having
done this. number each ear on the
cardhoard beginning with mum Der l !.

steps in the entire process as you will

test.
~ When YOU are numbering the
ears discard any that are badly inJur-

better for chicken feed than for seed
corn.
