schools for soldiers on the use of trac-
tors. The mastery Of the engines OF
these appliances is easy enough after
one has learned the anatomy OF the
automobile.
The use of electrical machinery and
appliances for farmhouse and stable
lighting have an especial appeal to the
soldier student. In many Western
States where stream and waterfall may
be harnessed to the plough and the
threshing machine the electric current
is bound to be more and more a factor
in agriculture. The time may come
when with the aid OF the turbine a
farmer may make electric current from
the brook that rushes through his own
meadows or woods.
AS many farmers in the broad
reaches of the West are employing the
electric current to saw wood. to churn
and to be the chief hired man about
the place. 1t is natural that the would
be scientific farmers at Lawrenceville
should be eager to master the secrets
OF this new power. When the Gov
eminent develops the great forces OF
the rivers and streams and distributes
them so that users OF current both
large and small, may have what they
need, the value Of a working knowl-
edge OF electricity will mean much
to the farmer.
Owing to the fact that only a part
OF the men at Lawrenceville have re-
covered, there are not many who can
give the whole day to work or study.
Some have only enough strength for
two hours work a day; others can
stand half a day. The school. there
fore. considers each branch. of course,
as unit. The student who becomes
proficient In any one of them gets a
credit slip which puts him on the pre-
ferred list for employment. There are
special marks for such courses as
operating OF farms, managing a dairy
herd. or rais'no noultry and hogs, or
preparing ensilage.
Some men niay wish TO continue
their old trades in the city, but may
find that on account of their injuries
they must have a certain amount OF

No man ever dies of broken
heart In his love affairs. according to
both Shakespeare and Thackeray;
the heart, however, does physically
break, either from sudden shock or
from ovcrstrain. A captain on a
vessel who had set out to marry
lady, on reaching his destination was
abruptly informed that she had mar
ried, and the man fell to the ground
and expired. The heart was discov-
cred to bo literally rent into two

Satisfy for Winter Crop.

Satisfy is like parsnip in one re-
spect. 1t is improved by freezing.
The roots intended for winter use
should be left out as long as is safe,
then stored in sand in the cellar.
There Is quite a difference between
the roots that have been tempered by
the frost and those that have not
been. Those wanted for spring use
ave usually left out all Writer.
Another way OF treating the roots
is to cords them up in small
piles on the ground and cover
slightly. The roots will keep moist
and freeze and thaw with the
weather. II the pile is covered with
straw or mating on the approach of
severe cold weather, 1t will be ac-
cessible during the winter. Parsnips
may be kept in similar manner and
are much improved IN quality by
holding them until sprtng.-Pield

He will not allow a woman to look

himself in order to cleanse himself

The pallbearers, as we might call

And again when an Indian COM

he went to the medicine man and

the remedy appeased the crime and
