farm and in this event the old GRIND
will continue. Feeling the need of edu
cation for the children and something
else she knows not what, the gooC
mother may prevail in her desire tc
move to town, and new troubles viii
lie in their pathway
IF, perchance, the home spirit has
not been smothered in the days oil
debt-paying, it may arise when the
ashes of the mortgage tumble and
give new life to all the inmates OF
the house; it may, in fact, convert il
into a home where life is counted
more important than the material
basis of production. The new spirit
leads, where the old spirit drove, the
toilers to the field. More to be desired
is one such home than all the nations
farms.
Let, then, the nation cast the mort
gage canker from the heart of the
home. Let haste to be out of debt be
replaced by the calm spirit of mutual
helpfulness, where life is put above
the means of living.
THE mortgage bank with long-term
loans, fair interest rates and very
gradual payment of the principal will
do much to relax the tenacious hold
which the get-out-of-debt-quickly spirit
has upon us and give opportunity for
the growth of true home spirit in
every farmhouse, and spirit of help
fulness and joyous life in every rural
community.

LONG-TERM LOANS
BOON TO FARMERS

That the long-term farm loan, COM
mon in European countries, might
prove a great boon to rural life, is the
conclusion reached by H. c. Taylor Of
the University of Wisconsin.
AS the owner and operator of dairy
farm and as a close student of agri-
cultural economics in this and other
countries he has had an opportunity
not only to see the needs OF farm life
but also to know how these, at times,
have been answered
He believes that the American farm
er is in too great a rush to get out Of
debt and has found that, too often, this
is the central ambition of the farm
household.
Everyone overworks and becomes
more or less irritable. The true home
spirit is driven from the fireSide by
the presence of the mortgage.
Every member of the family hopes
for some future day when the head
of the family will come home with the
mortgage in his pocket After supper
he will display the document for which
all have so painfully labored for sew
eral years. At the suggestion of the
good wife the mortgage will be burned
in the kitchen stove.
Then the main aim of the house
hold will have been attained and the
common bond gone-the occasion of
strenuous labor will be over.

Couldn't Talk Any More.

Wilma and mother were at home
alone one evening when Wilmas
brother informed them by telephone
that he had just married. 1t sur.
prised his mother so that she started
to cry, and so did little Wilma. In
the meantime one of his old sweet.
hearts called up and asked to speak
to him, and Wilma, at the telephone
sobbed her answer: you can't talk
to my brother no more. He just
phoned mamma he got him wife to-

Need for Sobriety of Mind.

Sobriety of mind is one of those vir-
tues which the present condition OF
human life strongly inculcates. The
uncertainty of it's enjoyments checks
presumption; the multiplicity of its
dangers demands perpetual caution
Moderation, vigilance and self-govern
ment, are duties incumbent on all; but
especially on such as are beginning
the journey of life.-Dr. H. Blair.

Wisconsin Dairy Tests.


Wisconsin Dairy Tests.
When good workman starts job
he picks out the very best tools he
can find. AS he selects them he con-
siders first, their shape-whether or
not they are formed to do well the
work for which intended.
Next, he looks for condition. He
will not use a dull or rusty tool if he
can afford one that is clean and sharp.
Lastly, he tries their temper. He

Very similar is the course followed
by the skilled dairyman in selecting
his COWS. His job is to produce milk,
cream and butterfat for the market,
and his COWS are the tools he must
USE
Like the workman who drives nails
with a hammer instead of a postmaul,
this dairyman uses a dairy COW to
produce dairy products. This is the
mark Of the master workman the
world over. 1t is said that 'the work
man is known by his TOOLS and it is
true saying, but not more so than
this other one, that "a dairyman is
known by his cows"
His COWS are what we call wedge
shaped, or, more properly, they carry
the so-called triple-wedge. Seen from
above, we note the wide hips, strong
loin and back, gradually narrowing
into the fine neck. There is strength
to support the organs Of digestion and
milk secretion and capacity to carry
the nervous energy necessary to the
work Of these organs
From the front we view the second
wedge, composed Of the wide and
deep chest with the blunt edge rising
into the shoulder. In this we find
room for the heart and lungs coupled

Bearded Freak.

One of the earliest of the American
bearded freaks was Louis Jasper, who
lived in southern Virginia at about the
time Of the close Of the Revolutionary
war. His beard was nine and half
feet long and corresponding thick
and heavy. He could take his mus.
tache between his fingers and extend
his arms to their full length and still
the ends of the mustache were over a
foot beyond his finger tips.-Exchange
