PUsH-BUTToN PHILOSOPHY
Leonard L. Tenwick

Some men work enough to funk"
and some men funk" enough to
work.
Authority makes masters Of most
men.
Only work is serious.
Marriage is merely conquest--not
possession.
You must take the initiative IL
you would initiate.
Things are usually more difficult
to do than to explain.
A hole in the pocket is a poor in
Ivestment.
He makes a good trade who trades
dollars for sense.
A students first "stand-in" with
his teacher is very often the cause
Of his first "stand-out' with his boss.
A debt is valuable in one sense:
il makes a man realize the value OF
being out OF debt.
More wake-up means more get-up.
Principle before pleasure.
Pay is a miser's term.
Magnifying your Importance Is
charging your non-importance.
Success is a good deal like check
ers: il is not how many kings you
have. but how you play your kings.
Some people judge presents by the
size of the bundle; others judge by
the size Of the thought.

RESERVE REPORTS"

Several reports have been receiv-
ed from the Berea men in training
at Fort Benjamin Harrison. All re-
port hard work and intensive study,
with plenty to eat and lots of exer-
else. They are drilling eight to ten
hours per day and studying in the
evening. Altho the training is
strenuous, all the Berea men report
very favorably Of the camp and the
work they are doing.
A feature of the War Appropria-
ton Bill, recently passed, is inter-
esting in this connection. The men
receive one hundred dollars per
month salary, in addition to board
and clothes.

VOLUNTEER BREAKFAST"

The members of the Volunteer
Band, with few of their special
friends, took their breakfast on
Twin Mountain Monday morning.
Altho seriously decimated by the
departure Of members, the Band
continues to do its work and to make
plans for next year. The social time
on the mountain after breakfast and
the delightful walk home were pro-
ductive of great pleasure not only
TO the future missionaries, but 10
their guests as well. Those gather
ing at the festive rock were: Misses
Miller, Pearson, Brown, Haley, At
zenhefer, McGhee, Blaske and
Messrs. Humphrey, Bouterse, Buch-
anan, Murray, Tamayo and Temple
ton.

The meeting Of the Young Mems
Christian Association Sunday night
was led by the president of the Or
ganization, Mr.. Bouterse. It was
held on the lawn in front Of the Lii
brary on account Of the heat. II
was an experience meeting and the
old proverb that Experience is a

fed. These meetings Of Berea's
young men are productive of great
good and those who are idle at the
time should attend. Something

TAKE CARE OF THE MANURE

The manure is just as truly a le-
climate profit from stock farming
as is the money received from the
sale of the animals, from wool or
from dairy products. Often farm
crs keep a steer in o cheap, rough
way for year for a profit OF no
more than $50. The manure from
the animal is not worth much less
than that TO the soil. Another
farmer may keep a steer more ex-
pensively and get a profit of $40 per
year. In this case the manure is
doubtless worth every cent Of $40,
II not more, TO the farm. Ia the case
~ beef cattle probably the manure
represents from 1914 to so per cent
OF the possible profit 10 be made
from keeping the stock! Do we
treat the manure as il these figures
were true? No, manure is yet an
incident in our stock farming and
not definite part Of the profits Of
the business.
Half Of the plant food is in the
liquid manure. so that enough bed
ding must he used in the barn 10
absorb this or the loss is great even
when the stock are under shelter.
Even with the best precautions that
can be taken, very considerable
waste will occur unless cement
floor is used and plenty OF bedding
on it. A farmer should not plan to
keep more stock than he can provide
plenty of bedding for while they are
in the barn. II is as important as
feed.
Barn lots and small feed lots are
no places for feeding stock nor for
them to stand. After they have had
time to water or have been out long
enough for the feed TO be put in
the managers, they should be put
back in the barn unless they can be
turned out on fields where the ma
nure will do good. Absolutely the
farmer must get rid Of the big leak
that takes place when stock stand
around the barns. in muddy feed
lots. in water lanes, in rocky pas
lures, and in wood lots. The Euro
pean farmer does il, the Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania. farmer does
il, and so can we.
When bedding is scarce or when
for other reasons, il suits best tC
feed out doors, a field should be Sc
lected that needs the manure and
where crops can be raised or grass
grown. So benefit will be received
from the fertility. Feeding rack.
and troughs should be made porta-
BILE so that they can be moved d
distribute the manure. When hog.
are the kind OF stock kept, portable
houses should also be provided.
When il is desirable TO turn the
stock out during the day, fields il
sod should be provided, and they
should be alternated so that the
manure that accumulates can be
used to produce large feed crops
Salt boxes can be placed in these
fields to encourage the stock TO spend
some Of their time in all parts.
