SUCCESS!

There are no Gifts" in the House of
Success,
But the stairs are long and steep,
And the man who would climb
To the top, in his time,
Before he dare walk, must creep.
Of carpets, there're none in the House of
Success,
But the floors are hard and bare,
And you're likely to trip
And slide and slip,
In the pitfalls here and there.
There are no lounges or easy chairs,
Nor places to rest your spine,
But after you've won
To the roof-there's the sun,
And, ahl but the view it il fine.

ITALY.

Italy occupies a very small space on
the map CT Europe. Consequently that
little country has not, by some of us,
been rated as being an important factor
in the war. But today, Italy is astound-
ing the world with her organization,
efficiency and power She has colonies
with an area of one fifth that of the
United States, but these colonies have a
population of only 5000, 900 widely scat
tered people, and add little or nothing to
the military strength of the nation. Italy
itself, has little less than four times the
area of the State of Maine and has a
population of about SO, 600, 900. Her navy
ranks sixth in the navies of the world
and has about twice the strength of that
of Austria. She has more than 5000
miles of railway within her borders She
has the speediest and most powerful air
planes in the world. Her triplanes are
able to carry 40 passengers at the rate of
100 miles an hour, and no other country
has so effective fighting planes. She
builds her own planes, automobiles, trac-
tors and tanks, and besides doing that
she builds extensively for France. A
steam ay-tractor is used by the Allies
for transporting heavy cannon. These
are called camions. In one factory in
Italy so of these machines are a daily
output and they 60 under their own
steam across the Alps on their way to
France. In this and other factories 1000
camions were made in two or three
weeks. The Italians make their own
machine guns, their trench morters and
most of their other ordnance. System,
activity and efficiency everywhere pre-
vail In addition to her wonderful achieve
ments in mechanical and industrial pre-
paredness, Italy has modified and train
ed an army of 1000, 900 men, and more
than half her forces are on the firing line
in Austrian territory. Italy spent two
years before she really attempted to make
her power felt, but from this time on,
her operations seem to be second only, to
those on the Hindenburg line. The i'm
mediate aim of the Italian army is to cap
ture Trieste, an Austrian seaport city hav-
ing about 100000 inhabitants, situated
near the head of the Adriatic sea.
A large percentage of the export and
import trade of Austro-Hungary passes
through this city, and it's capture would
be for that reason, of great military
value. In fact its capture is absolutely
necessary, before the main offensive plan
of the Italians can be undertaken. The
notable advances in recent battles have
been made few miles north of Trieste
near Tolmino, which is said to be the
key which opens the road for an advance
on Vienna. If the Italians succeed in
capturing Trieste and seriously threaten
Vienna with its population of LOO, 900,
the military spirit of Austria will be
broken and she will sue for the peace
which she already desires When Austria
throws up her hands, then will fade the
vision of expansion, and world power
which has led the Kaiser on and on in his
mad career. Then will peace return.
Whether Italy wins or loses in her often
sives she certainly deserves the plaudits
of America.

SEED WHEAT.

Sound. clean, healthy seed is the first
requisite for the largely. increased wheat
crop which the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture hopes to see harvest
ed next year. Whatever the source OF
supply farmers will find it to their adj
vantage, says the department, to see
that only good seed is planted. What has
been said is equally true Of seed for the
rye crop which the department hopes to
see much larger than usual next year.
If farmer has seed from his own crop
which is satisfactory SO far as variety
and general condition are concerned, he
should lose no time in getting 1t into
shape for storage until planting time.
The tanning mill is the farmers best
friend in this task. The farmer, by all
means, shouldihave such mill and if he
has not and is unable to obtain one,
should borrow or rent his neighbours mill,
or several farmers can join in buying one.
A tanning mill removes weed seeds, smut
and shriveled grain and leaves only
plump kernels, practically every one of
which may be depended upon to produce
a thrifty plant After it is cleaned, how
ever, the seed should be treated in order
that the smut may be prevented. Scab
is less likely to be prevented by seed
treatment, but the use of the tanning
mill will assist materially in improving
the crop grown from seed known to have
contained scabby kernels.
If the farmer is dependent on outside
sources for his seed he should buy from
his neighbor if possible so that he may
be more likely to get seed well adapted to
his conditions. 1t is advisable to buy as
soon after harvest as possible as at this
time prices are likely to be lowest. If the
farmer delays, his neighbors may dispose
of all their surplus grain and he may be
forced to plant seed grown under condi-
lions radically different from his own.
If the farmer patronizes scotsman he
should insist on getting seed grown as
near his section as possible.
| If seed is affected by diseases, careful
inspection will usually disclose the fact.
The presence of sinking smut in wheat
is indicated by the odor and the presence
of scab by the appearance of the kernels.
Purchased seed should, of course, be
cleaned and treated for the destruction of
the spores of disease producing fungi, if.
the examination shows this to be neces-
sary.
In choosing varieties of wheat the
farmer should be guided by the expert
ences of his neighbors and the advice of
his State Experiment Station. This is
true also of rye, but there are available
fewer varieties of rye than of wheat.
The stations can furnish comparative
statistics on the yields and behavior of
number of varieties of the two cereals.
After the grain farmer has procured
supply of satisfactory seed he should
store it carefully that it will keep in good
condition and will be safe from the dep
relations of rats, mice and insects. Bins
which are supposedly rat proof are avail
able on practically all farms and it will
pay farmers to see that they are kept in
good condition to keep out the rodentsS

KEEP ON KNITTING.

The Navy League has an organization
of about 100000 workers, who among
other things, have sent to the men of our
navy 10000 knitted garments. Secre-
tary Daniels has had quarrel with the
president of the league and it is reported
that Mr.. Daniels will not allow the league
to send any more comfortable garments
until it is differed by new board.
Whether this report be true or false the
good women of America should keep the
knitting needles busy. 1t is not advisable
to idly watch tempest in a teapot
while we are at war with Germany.

SEED WHEAT.

We assume that next year quite an
acreage of wheat will be sown in Waldo
county. If opportunity offers seed wheat
should be secured this fall. In another
column we publish an article sent out by
the United States Department of Agricul-
ture which seems to us to be timely and
practical. The writer believes that Wal
do county can and will next year raise a
considerable acreage of wheat The Jour-
nal will be glad to have some of our good
farmers tell its readers something practi-
cal about wheat raising.
