PERFECTION TO BE SOUGHT
Small Probability of Mankind Reach
ing 1t, But at Least the Effort
Should Be Made.

We hear a great deal abOut the fin
ished product as applied to material
things, and enjoy tracing the details
which mark the successive develop
ments of objects from their crude con
ditiOn to their finished state. In the
attainment of all worldly objects we
want the best there is-the finest silks,
the most beautiful pictures, the hand
soonest furniture, the most exquisite
tapestries, etc, are none too good for
our eSthetic taste, yet unfortunately
we do not apply the same standard to
our own morals. 1t is enough that we
manage to live within the law, so TO
speak, to keep just within the lines,
and it is rare indeed that we find
man who devoteS his time and strength
Of himself. Perhaps such n feat is I'M
attainable by mortal man, the human
side of his nature being too StrOnS
to permit his more spiritual side to
gain the upper hand. Such reasoning
apparently paves the way for the
conclusion that most of us reach that
it is impossible for any man to at
tain n condition of perfection. This
is true, of course, but at the same
time we must not forget that for all
our Inability to ascend to the heights
We can, at least, progress by easy
and natural stages toward their sum
mits. 1t does not make very much
difference if we do not actually reach
the top if we honestly do everything
within our power to do so.

BADGER WINTER WHEAT.

Wisconsin will probably produce
high yielding crop of winter wheat
this year The resistant varieties in
use managed to survive the severe
conditions of the past winter, as a
rule, while the excessive summer
heat did not strike the crop until it
had about reached full maturity.
The improved strains of Wisconsin
Pedigree No. ,, Turkey Red winter
wheat, originated and improve at
the College of Agricultural continues
to hold the leading place in popular
ity wherever it has been tried. Be
sides being an exceptionally hardy
variety, it stands in the front rank
of high yielding strains.
A farmer on ordinary soil with the
usual conditions, may expect from 30
to 3J bushels or Pedigree No. from
an acre, according to b. d. Leith, in
charge of these wheat growing expert
ments. Trials in 1914 yielded ABB
bushels an acre, and in 1915 the az
erage was about % bushels.
Because prices for winter wheat
have taken big advance OF late
many Wisconsin farmers have begun
to think seriously of growing this
grain again. Winter wheat is usually
sown from the first of September in
the northern part OF the state to the
middle of September in the central
and southern portions. Seedlings Of
Pedigree No > will survive even if
sown from ten days to two weeks
later. One bushel and half of seed
to the acre is enough under ordinary
conditions.

SOME FORMS OF HYPNoTlSM
Many May Be Known to the Readers,
While Others Have a Flavor
That Is New.

Hypnotizing q hen is "A trick known
to most country boys. 1t is an old
experiment, first described by the Je-
suit Father Athanasius Kircher, who
laid q hen on the table, held It firmly
for a little while, and drew II chalk
line in front Of It's eyes. with the re-
suit that 1t remained as II in c%atalepsy.
In India 1t Is known that n cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will o become stiff and remain so
for a considerable time, either cOiled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened TO n board and
turned suddenly upside down goes into
a trance. Other animals are suscep-
tible to this treatment, some more
quickly than others.
If you pick up n crab and wave II
in the air 1t becomes immObilc, Il fe-
male bending her legs over her abdO-
men, a male sticking them out almost
straight. The same is true OF the
frcsh-water %crayhsh, only this reslsts
for a much longer time than the crab.
Among the insects catalepsy-cOlu-
monty known as death ieigning"-is
| common, and, according to Prof. Err
nest MangOld. the learned naturalist,
is often n means Of saving the life
of the insect.

Then the lady who receives the
