A North Augusta Boy Delighted
With Navy.
Augusta Chronicle.

Life in the navy is not SO oner-
Gus. Here is a letter from a young
man who has just enlisted, and he
seems to be cheerful to the cheer
ing point:
May 8, 1917.
Dear Mother: 1 am now station
ed on the United States ship Penn
sylvania, and | am more satisfied
than ever. In fact, | like it better
than the training camp. Wish you
could see the large and beautiful
ship. 1t is a floating palace
II am having plenty to eat, good
substantial food, and we have a
different desert every day. In fact,
we have a lot of nice things that
people on the outside know moth
ing of.
I'VE have to get up at 5 o'clock
every morning, lash our hammocks,
dress and be on deck by 500. We
have our duties to look after until
7 o'clock and then we have break
fast. After breakfast, we have
nothing to do but take exercises
and go through several drills.
Il had shore leave yesterday
"wednesday; saw one of the boys
who left home when I did; also,
had a very interesting game of
baseball and entertained myself in
other ways.
"We have moving pictures on
board every night and music from
the marine band, which,is exceeding
ly good. We have a delightful time
boxing, and, I must say, we have
everything that a sailor wants
Il think we will get paid off on
Saturday and will send you some
more money, as l do pot need 1t
here, as we have all the necessities
and nothing TO spend it for.
Trusting that I will hear from
you again real soon and with love
to all the family, / am your devoted
son.

What Will it Profit You!
Whitney Montgomery.

Whitney montgomery.
Here's a truth as old as.sthe oldest book
And q truth as young as today;
IT'S better to say something good OF a
man,
Or else have nothing to say.
For the gall you fling and the slurs you
slim
May sully a fair renown.
But you'll never go up or the ladder of
life
By running your neighbor down.
If a name is bad you a make it
worse
But what will it profit you?
If a name is pure as the driven snow
You may soil it little, too.
But the cross you lay in your brothers.
Won't help you to win the crown,
For you'll never go up on the ladder of
life
BY running your neighbor down.
You may frame your speech in the
deftest style
That's known in the g%ossiping art,
But the world will know that the words
you speak
Are the words of an envious heart;
You may win it's smile for a little
while,
But the smile will turn to q frown,
For you'll eve 20 up on the ladder of
life
BY running your neighbor down.

:]EARlY CROPS VALUABLE
Conditions Of Agriculture
in Montana Make Time
illness Important.

There are two limiting factors in
Montana farming, moisture and the
shortness Of the season. Because Of
these timeliness in planting the crops
generally has an important bearing on
the yields. Generally speaking the
moisture which Is available for dry
land crops comes in three periods. the
early moisture Of spring, available as
soon as the frost leaves the ground. the
spring rains. which generally stop
along in June. for following the first
Of July dry weather is the rule rather
than the exception, and the fall rains.
For spring crops only two Of these
periods of moisture are available. Be-
cause Of this 1t behooves the farmer
to get his crops in the soil as early as
possible. As soon as the ground is
dry enough to work the spring blowing
should be done. and the harrow or disk,
followed by the grain drill, should fol-
low in the wake Of the plow as rapidly
as possible. This gets the crops into
the ground in time to take advantage
Of this spring moisture which has been
carried over through the winter. They
will terminate almost at once and
generally find enough moisture to car
ry them through to the spring rains
which are heaviest late in the spring.
BY the time these rains are over the
crop should be large enough and the
moisture in the ground sufficient to
mature the crop. This early planting
gets the crop mature before the pro-
longed periods Of drouth and the hot
dry winds that sometimes characterize
the late summer. Late planted spring
crops are sometimes injured by the
frost. even though they may be planted
on, dry lands. Take flax for example.
Contrary to a somewhat common be-
lief. more flax is injured in Montana
through immaturity and consequent
injury from carly fall frosts than from
being injured by too early planting in
the spring.
a somewhat different condition con-
fronts the irrigated crops. Here mois-
turc Is available at any time and ow-
ing to its frequent application COM
bined with late spring planting, many
irrigated crops are more or less Sc
verely damaged by early fall frosts.
Here the shortness Of the season is the
limiting factor Of production.
Old timers of the state are predict
ing an early spring this year. II such
occurs 1t is of vital importance that
the crops be put in at the first pos
sible moment. for as rule early
springs are followed by dry summers.
A week or ten days saved by early
planting may spell all the difference
between success and failure. Get out
into the fields the first day YOU can
and hurry up the blowing and planting.

KAPOK is TO BE USED
IN LIFE PRESERVERS

-(Correspondence Of the AS
ISOLATED Press:1-The British govern
ment. through its board of trade, has
approved Of kajok and henceforth life
preservers made with kapok instead Of
cork may be expected to find their way
on board many British ships.
The kapok tree grows in the tropics
The best quality at present comes from
Java, but it is expected that the cult
walton Of the tree will soon yield the
same results in the British West In
dies and Central America.
In Java kapok trees may be found
planted along the roads in coffee and
cocoa plantations. A single tree may
yield up to 1900 fruits. Much of the
fibre, after treatment by a German
patent process. is spun into yarn for
making plush. lace and similar sub
stances. but the real value of the fruit
lies in the fact that It's fibre, short,
light and brittle, is impervious and
elastic. 1t is capable of floating six
teen times it's own weight of iron for
over a week. Moreover. lifcsaving
jackets may be made with the best ka-
pok for a fraction o. the cost of a cork
jacket.

ST. WINlFRED'S WELL
IN WALES GOES DRY

HolywelI, North Wales.-(Corrcspon
denCc of the Associated Press. )-St.
Winifred's Well, the most famous in
the British Isles and for centuries the
mecca for pilgrims from all parts OF
Europe, has gone dry. The incident
has created a sensation in this little
picturesque town which relied on the
well for its livelihood.
The well gave mp more than 1000
gallons per minute. The town relied
on the well for it's water supply and
considerable revenue was derived from
the pilgrims and from the Roman Cath
Ole church which paid the town coun-
ell an annual rental for the privilege
of building n shrine and conducting
services on the site.

CABINET SECRETARIES
NOVELTY IN BRITAIN

neutrality-suspicious. Of the AS
ISOLATED Prcss.)-For the first time in
the history OF the British government,
secretaries to the cabinet have been
appointed. Heretofore it has been the
rule that no member Of the cabinet
should take any note Of the proceed
ings except the prime minister, who
did so for the purpose of informing the
king. The system was unbusinesslike
and unsatisfactory In many respects,
and the scope and complexity of the
questions which have come up in con-
nection with the war rendered a
change imperative.
The secretaries who have now been
appointed are as follows: Colonel Sir
Mark Sykes. NJ. p. Colonel Sir Maur-
ice Hankcy, Captain L. S. Amcry. NJ.
p.
Under the new system minutes of
every cabinet meeting will be taken and
filed, and Lloyd-Gcorge is quoted as
hoping that there will be a considera-
bic increase in efficiency as well as a
saving of time.

On January 1, 1883, the c. p. Hig-

become fat, as a surplus Of flesh Is
sure to cause a decrease Of energy
and loss Of potency. During the
spring and summer months when the
pastures are good the bull should havc
access to a pasture Of his own where
he will have plenty Of good grass. Al
ways furnish bull with plenty Of
fresh water. as nothing is moro essen
tial to an animal than a plentiful sup
ply of good water.
In the matter of breeding bull
should never be used until he Is prac-
tically one year of age, and until ne is
a two-year-old he should not have
service over once month. After hc
has reached the ago Of two years he
may be used two or three times a week.
After three years, when necessary. a
bull may be used every day. but he
should never be used more than once,
and it is much better to limit even
a grown bull to about four services a
month. When a bull is being bred
there should be two attendants pres
ent and the bull and COW should not
be allowed to remain together for any
length of time.
AS far as handling Is concerned. new
err allow bull to be teascd or in any
way aggravated. as q bad tempered
and restless animal Is sure to result.
Never handle a bull any more than
necessary and then always lead him
with a staff and always keep in mind
that bull Is a very treacherous ami
NAL and take all possible precautions
in dealing with one.

STOMACH LIKE FURNACE
Treat Your System With
Care You Give Stoves;
Don't Burn Too Much.

Consider the furnace. theoretically
this is a machine for the economical
production of heat. II the proper
amount of the proper kind Of fuel is
properly put into 1t. IL the ashes arc
properly cleaned out, II the drafts are
properly managed. the chances are that
1t will heat the house properly. II. on
the other hand, too much or too little
fuel is put into 1t. II the fuel contains
too much on-imflammable material.
il the fire is not kept clean of ashes,
or il the hampers are badly regulated.
the furnace operates inefficiently or
ceases working altogether. Perhaps
the most important thing next to put
ting in fuel is to clean out the ashes.
If these are allowed to accumulate in
the ash pit. the crate bars may be
burned out.
Food is taken into the human body
for the purpose of producing heat.
The standard of it's value is the num-
tie fuel is taken into the human body it
insufficient number Of heat units to
operate it are received and it works
inefficiently. If, on the other hand, too
great an amount Of food is taken, the
body becomes cloggcd and works just
as inefficiently as If it had received too
small an amount. The most important
thing is to remove promptly all of the
waste materials remaining after the
food has given up its heat units. II
too great an amount of this debris Is
allowed to remain the fires OF the body
are in danger of being put out by these
poisonous materials. The elimination
Of these materials is one Of the func-
tons of the intestinal canal. One of
the requisites of good health is an edu-
Gated intestinal apparatus. Perhaps
this is even more important than an
educated set Of brains. Certainly an
educated set Of brains cannot work ef-
fectively SO long as the intestinal APP
paratus is badly operated.
Man in our present state of civiliza.
ton is obliged to pay particular attcn-
ton to functions which in a state Of
nature took care of themselves. A ro-
bust man engaged in active exercise in
the open air may commit dietary in
discretions which would be exceedingly
harmful to a sedentary worker. Exer-
else as a part Of the daily life is. how
ever. absolutely necessary for both.
Plain. wholesome food is just as neces-
sary for the brain worker as for him
who labors with his hands. Above ALL
both must keep the human furnace
well shaken down and without accum-
ulation of ashes and debris in order
that the fires of life may burn bright
~ and steadily.

CARELESS HANDLING
WILL lNJURE BULL

1mpotcncy and uglincss in dairy
bulls in a large percentage of cases is
caused not by a natural deficiency in
tho animals themselves but simply
through improper handling, feeding
and care. An animal Of good breed
ing, fine conformation and giving every
promise of developing into an cxccp-
tionally good sire may by improper
feeding, careless handling and general
neglect develop into an understood
vicious and generally worthless indi-
vidual totally untitled to head any
herd Of good dairy cattle. A careful
study Of few of the fundamental
principles in the care OF dairy bull
is therefore we'll worth the attention Of
any dairy farmer. In an article Of
this length 1t is impossible to go into
the subject at length. but few hints
as to proper care of the young bull
will be given.
The young dairy bull, after he has
reached the age of about six months.
should be separated from heifer calves
If he is running with them and should
either be placed in a small paddock
alone or with other bulls of about the
same age. Two young bulls sharing
a good sized yard and a clean roomy
box stall make the best combination.
In moderate weather the bull should
be allowed to remain outdoors large
share of the time and even in severe
weather he should be turned out for
a couple of hours each day. Remem-
Der that plenty Of exercise and fresh
air is absolutely essential to the proper
development Of any young growing
animal.
In the matter of feeding. the young
bull should have all the alfalfa or
good mixed hay that he will clean up.
and II silage is available he should re-
ceivc about Is or 20 pounds per day.
An allowance OF about two pounds of
grain per 100 pounds of weight will
be sufficient in most cases. As to the
kind Of grain the chief point to keep
in mind is not to feed too much corn
or any other grain which tends to in
crease the weight rapidly. Under no
conditions should bull be allowed to
