Expectation is something that you

Few persons ever think enough about
TIE words they use to give even as good
an explanation as little Johnny uncon-
sciouly gave. Expectation needs more
than a mere dictionary description. As

So panteth expectation after reality
some time back Prof. Henry Pyle. the
aisungulshed experimental psychologist,
undertook at Cornell University to dis
cover the truth. the whole truth and
nothing but the truth about the stage
OF the ego when 1t is expectant.

physiolostcally and psychologically-I
very much doubt any constant distinct

When We Mediate.

In meditation we are free. We can consider one side and then the other without embarrassment If we change our opinion because the weight of evil dence has shifted, there is no one to exult over us and make us ashamed. If we recognize that we have been mistaken in our assumptions, there is no one to say: q told you so." We quietly make the necessary adjust ments to ever-changing reality, and go on with our business of thinking. We are not required to reach any prede- termined conclusions. We have no nervous anxiety to catch any particu- lar train of thought as we are travel ing on our own feet, and are willing to put up wherever the night finds us. Hence it is that while discussions go on with great vigor, and few are con vincec except of the righteousness of their own cause, meditation often brings unexpected results. When we mediate we sometimes change our minds. This is a beneficent achieve ment, for it renders it unnecessary for us to spend all our strength in at tempting to change the order of the universe and the whole direction Of human progress, in order to get a sense of the fitness of things.-S. M Crcthers, in Atlantic

EVERY HOG RAISER EN0Ns
 CHOLERA IS COhTAG|0Us
Methods of Prevention and Cure-Sin- gle and Double Treatment With An ti-Hog Cholera Serum Properly Given Effective.

Every hog raiser knows that hog cholera is a contagious and infectious disease. If no germs were brought into the herd there would be no hog cholera. The germs are frequently carried by dogs, birds, the feet of peo- pie, wagon wheels and running water All new hogs brought on the farm should be quarantined 30 days before they are allowed to run with other hogs In cases of death by hog cholera all carcasses should be burned. Quick lime is a good disfnfectant, and can easily be scattered about the hog lots. Another effective disinfectant is six ounce solution of U s. P. creolin .o one gallon of water.
 If hog cholera is in the herds of the neighborhood, vaccinate at once with anti-hog cholera serum. This will not cure the disease but will prevent the healthy hogs from becoming infected.
 There are two methods of vaccina- tion, the single tor serum alone) and the double Cor simultaneously methods. By using the serum alone method, there is no danger of injecting healthy hogs with cholera.
 The objection to the single treat ment is that it only gives immunity against cholera for certain indefinate length of time. By using this

method you can hold hog cholera in check, especially if sanitary precau. tions are taken.
 The double method consists of using serum and small quantity of hog cholera virus (blood taken from hog about to die from cholera.) The dou. ble method usually produces immunity against cholera for life.
 In using the double treatment con siderable caution should be used. 4 veterinarian should be summoned. as there is danger of producing hog chol era if the doses are not properly given. If cases are brought to the at tention of the state veterinarian i'm mediate aid will be given.

TREATING OATS FOR SMUT
Mixture of FormaIdehyde and Water .

Seed oats this spring must be treated for smut. Nearly all spring oats last year smutted badly and all seed now available are probably badly infested. Treat the seed with formal dehyde and avoid loss from smut.

 ?. Put bushel or more of oats ir a two bushel bag Ga cheap gunny sack of very coarse open materially.
 g. Dip bag and oats into the solu. tion and shake up and down until all oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and drain.
 4. Allow the oats to remain in the bag for about two hours, or empty ID a heap and leave for about two hours.
 nearly dry, drying may be hastened by sprinkling them with thoroughly air slaked lime.
 6. Sow about ten per cent more pey acre to allow for the swelling.
 T. The machinery and receptacles to be used in handling the oats after they are treated should first be thor oughly cleaned with the solution. Note Mix the solution just before using. Apply the treatment just be fore seeding.
 For convenience, . pulley may be arranged directly over the open end of the barrel and through it rope can be used for dipping, shaking ana draining the bags of oats. Another method sometimes used ir treating seed with formaldehyde, con sists of spreading the seed out in z three-inch layer on smooth, clean floor, sprinkling them with the solu tion, and then shoveling back and forth to insure contact of all seed with the solution. The treated seed are then shoveled into a pile and GOV cred with sacks or canvass to keeT the gas enclosed. After six or e4ghi hours the covers are removed anf the oats spread out to dry.

Too many pupils in our rural schools are trying to do work which is too difficult for them. This condition is the result of irregular attendance and too frequent promotion. Too ire quently promotions are made to satisfy pupils or parents. Pupils often promote the mselves when change of teachers is made or when a change of schools is made.
