More Work, More Corn.

Every farmer knows by now
that the war now going on III
Europe and Mexico has raised
the price of food stuff and no ar
ticle plays a greater part than
corn. So il behooves each and
every farmer to raise more corn.
1t is not necessary to plow more
land to do this but it is necessary
to put more work upon the land
and upon the crop. The soil
should be first put in first-class
shape and all manure used that
is ia be had and then shallow
cultivation and lots of it. The
corn crop in Kentucky is never
more than half worked, hence
our low average per acre as COM
pared with some other states.
Work your crop well this year if
you never did before. Owen

Filthy water or swill never

The beds should be perfectly

beds are fatal to the thrift and

Pigs running on grass need no
such bulky feed as barn. Five
parts middlings and one part
tankage is proper supplement.
Statistics show that the manure
from each pig is worth $12a year.
You see it will pay to save this

ON BEING BORN

Being born is the first lesson we all
learn. 1t teaches us to respect the
wishes of our elders And it teaches
MS to accept a number of things III
humility. All our lives we may profit
by having been born. We can almost
make it the basis of a philosophy of
life. We can say: 'WeIl here | am. -
Being born makes one sweet and
humble about a lot of things. For
instance, when a girl comes along who
wants to marry you, and who then
does of course marry you, YOU may
say: ''Well, | was born without being
consulted; | suppose | may as well be
married the same way" BY the time
man marries he begins to realize he
is up against a destiny. He becomes
resigned, he sees that surely there is
10 proper way in life except to walk
meekly.
Being born Involves a person in ia
Vulnerable difficulties, out of which
he must extricatc himself in one way
or another. This is a fine game. 1t
fits one for living.
When we are born we are very SEN
sitive and tender, and we are to live
Ill world of very Grass realities That
is why we are all born so young. 1t
Is an arrangement whereby we may
be introduced to hardships by degrees.
And we are born young so that we
may have time to learn profession.
Being very small when we first arrive.
no one expects us to take up double
entry bookkeeping or don overalls
without moment 5 notice.
Probably another reason that we are
born young is that people like chill
dren.

THE PALM BEACH SUIT

EAGLES AND RAVENS.

Some White Tailed Eagles were
boasting one day of their bravery"
commenced Daddy. "They were also
saying how fine they were in every
way and that their very name meant
something splendid and free and
strong.
Now, you know the White Tailed
Eagles are only cousins of the other
Eagles you Children see so many pic
lures of. There are q good many fam
HES of Eagles just as there are many
different Families of Wolves and of
Foxes.
"As matter of fact, though the
White Tailed Eagles won't admit it,
they are less brave than any Of the
Eagles
They will pretend that they are per-
fectly able to look after themselves at
all times and that they love battles and
eXcitement-and that they always, al
ways win.
And this day that they were boast
ing even more than usual Brother
Black Raven happened to be FLYING
near by. The Eagles did not even see
him, for they were so interested in
talking about themselves.
Now, Brother Black Raven is one of
the Raven Generals. He is very brave
and all the other Ravens look I'D to
MIN and do just as he says. When he
makes very curious sound that we
would never understand, the Ravens
know that it means:

And along fly all the Ravens after
Brother Black Raven. Where the 9th

know that his name is Brother Black
Raven, for there they always call him
General Black Raven.
The Ravens are not kindly at all
and they love to fight. They had often
thought 1t would be great sport to
have those Silly White Tailed Eagles
as they called them, admit that they
were not brave and have their leader
beg for mercy from Brother Black
Raven.
And, as you can imagine, when
Brother Black Raven heard the Eagles
boasting he knew 1t was high time to
begin and brighten them.

payments to the soldiers on the border,
trusting to the next legislature to REIN
bursc him, and thereby saving the

1t is estimated that the hay crop of
New England will reach the great total
value Of $lG,000,00O this year. 1t is the
bumper crop of all New England his
tory. For the most part it is yet I'M
harvested. The long, deep SHOWS of the
winter aud the long, soaking rains of
the spring meant great hay crops with
such clover as defcs the memory of the

mains the need of some sunny, crisp
harvest weather to put the crop safe
away. 1t has been years since New

The Hartford Courant has recently

of Boston is usually delivered on Mon
day, some times on Tuesday, while a
