Words Which Have Strayed.

Hardly any words in the English Ian

original meaning than the terms of for
Hstry, Thus q forest was originally q
great tract of country. which might in
clude woods, cultivated lands, pastures
and even towns and villages, all the
hunting rights over which were reserv-
ed to the monarch. A chase differed
from a forest mainly In the fact that
the hunting rights We're vested In a
subject instead of king. A park was
a fenced preserve, either In or out Of a
forest. while warren was piece of
waste ground over which the right to
hunt the hare. the rabbit and the fox,
the pheasant. the partridge and the
woodcock had been granted by the
king.
In the same way the term afforesta-
ton had nothing to do with the plant
Ing of trees 1t meant the subjection
of any tract of country to the forest
laws-in other words, it was the set
ting aside Cf this tract as forest. A
forest might and commonly did include
vast estates Of landowners and large
towns whose rights remained untOuch-
ed except as to game.-London Mail.

Of the year no longer does he leave a

she goes with him, and he is finding
out that he is very glad she does.
Whether either he or she is glad,
however, depends. in a measure-in
fact, rather largely-upon her clothing.
She must be warm in cold weather,
not too warm in hot weather, not be
bedraggled to helplessness when it

Horses Fave Quick Ears.

The horse is really one of the best
listeners in the world. He is always
on the alert for sounds which concern
or interest him. When he looks at any
thing he turns his ears toward it to OBJ
serve the better whether any sound
comes from it. If horse is particu
larly interested in your driving of him
be aways turns his ears backward to-
ward you, but if he has no concern on
that subject or if he sees anything
ahead that Interests him he keeps his
ears pricied forward. A horse hears
the whinny of another horse at a
greater distance than the average man
can hear it.-Boston Transcript.

THE HOME GARDEN.

College Park. July 5.-Maryland
farmers are taking especial pains with
their home gardens this year. They
are aiming to keep up a constant and
sufficient supply of vegetables for their
own use and for their local markets.
They are accomplishing this purpose
by adopting a rotation of garden
crops that will keep every foot of
garden soil busy during the growing
season In a bulletin recently issued
by the Maryland Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, S. B. Shaw, specialist in
Horticulture, says: "The systematic
rotation of farm crops has been ad-
vocated for number of years, the
principal end in view being an i'm
provement of soil fertility. A well
planned rotation of garden crops
brings about this same result and, in
addition, accomplishes two other pur
poses. 1t affords greater amount of
food supplies for longer period of
time, and, to.a certain extent, it aids
in the control of certain insects and
diseases"

THINK BIG THINGS.
Give Your Imagination Play and Try to
Live Up to Your Dreams.

Give Your Imagination Play and Try to
Live Up to Your Dreams.
Isn't it true that the only thing which
makes it possible for US to perform the
daily drudgeries of life is the hope
for better things which blooms in our
hearts?
Hope is romance. Ambition is ro-
nance. All the fine, true inspirations
of life are romantic. Romance leads
to achievement, unless it blossoms In
the mind of lazy. shiftless creature
who is Incapable of action.
The man who leads forlorn hope Is
romantic. The hero who gives his life
fighting a dread disease to which he
succumbs but against which he has
insured humanity, is romantic. Ro-
nance is the thing which makes 1t
worth while for men to sacrifice ma
terial comforts and die on strange
fields of honor.
In a materialistic world, where we
have to deal with the facts Of earning
our living and fighting for place and
position, the thing which lifts us above
blind instinct is romance. Cherish
YOUR dreams, for they give you a
glimpse of beauty and make you will
ing to struggle over cruel mountains
and harsh plAin; to the pot of gold at
the rainbow's end. Dreams give res
pite from dreary reality and urge ON
to all that is big and f1ne.-Exchange.

POWER OF MONEY.
And the Danger That May Come With
Undue Love Of Wealth.

And the Danger That May Come With
Undue Love Of Wealth.
1t is convenient to have money. We
all see many ways In which we would
like to use it. But when we have
money we are all apt to wish it just
little more. Who is to say what is the
exact amount it is right that we should
possess? Wishes, tastes, desires, diff
fer. We ourselves do not know what
our limit should be.
With too much money one is likely
to become conceited. to lose sympathy
and be hard hearted and more than
likely regardless of the means he takes
to add to his store. If he has too little
he may be envious of others, embitter-
ed toward society, tempted to dishon7
esty, or there may be real suffering
for need of what money can buy. No
one, not even the man in prison cell,
can live in Gny degree of comfort with
out money 1t is necessary to life.
Yet there are many things of greater
value than money. things that money
cannot buy, that are necessary to our
welfare. Undue love of money is a
soison in the soul, eating out what Is
of most worth. We may pay too high
a price for it's acquisition. We should
Judge our desire for money by our
purpose, our motive in wanting 1t.
Money is a power for good Or evil. as
we choose to use it.-Milwaukee Jour-

HOG RAISING VERY PROFITABLE.

No branch OF live stock farming is
more productive OF satisfactory results
than the raising OF well-bred swine. IL
conducted with a reasonable care, ac-
cording to the specialists OF the Bureau
of Animal Industry. United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Hogs fit into
the modern scheme OF farming on nearly
every farm. and are one of the most i'm
portant animals to raise both for meat
and for money. They require less labor.
less equipment, less capital make great
er gains per hundred pounds of concen-
trates fed. reproduce themselves faster
and in greater number and give a quicker
turnover" Of money than any other ami
NAL except poultry. Farmers OF the South
and West particularly have awakened to
the merits Of the hog and are rapidly in
creasing their output Of pork and their
bank accounts. The hog has no rival as
consumer of by-products and numerous
unmarketable materials which but for
him might be wasted.
The meat supply Of the country can be
increased more quickly by the hog
route" than by any other. The country's
need to augment its supply is great but
prevailing high prices alone should be suf-
ficient inducement to farmers to raise
more hogs. The prospects Of success
never was brighter. The high prices rul-
ing all markets show that the demand
for pork is In excess OF the supply.

DON'T WASTE A SLICE OF BREAD.

ANY waste of bread is inexcusable
when there are so many ways of using
stale bread to cook delicious Dishes" saws
the United States department Of agricul-
ture. "A single slice Of bread seems an
unimportant thing In many households
one or more slices Of bread daily are
thrown away and not used for human
food Sometimes stale Quarter-or half
loaves are thrown out. Yet one good
sized slice Of bread-such as a child likes
to cut-weighs an ounce. II contains al
most three-quarters Of an ounce OF -four.
III every one of the country's 5000 00
homes wastes on the average only one
such slice Of bread day the country is
throwing away daily over $4,000 900 ounces
Of fiour-over $4,000 pounds, or enough
-four for over a million one pound loaves
a day. For a full year at this rate there
would be a waste of over 3l9 200 600 pounds
Of nour-1,600.00 barrels OF four-enough
to make 365 10000 loaves AS it takes
four and one-half bushels of wheat to
make barrel Of ordinary -four. this
waste would represent the -four from
over 100000 bushels of wheat Fourteen
and nne-tenths bushels Of wheat on the
average are raised per acre. 1t would
take the fruit of some 10000 acres just
to provide q single slice Of bread to be
asted daily in every home. To produce
this much -four calls for an army Of
farmers, railway men. fiour-mill people.
To get the flour to the consumer calls for
many freight cars and the use OF many
tons OF coal.
But. some one says. a full slice of
bread is not wasted in every home. Very
well-make it daily slice for every

a weekly or monthly slice in every home

begun when ths selective draft law was

announced from Washington that newly
married men would be treated the same
as bachelors. The increase Is attributed
to report that married men will be the
last to be drafted. The records show that
