Leisure and Health.

In the first place we should be care
full not to confuse leisure with idleness
lin truth. they are poles apart. And
no less different are they In their in
fluence on the physical we'll being of
man. Idleness is one Of the greatest
enemies of health; leisure is one OF
its essential conditions. A very large
proportion of the almost chronic state
of i'll health which Is the lot of 80
large q number of poor people is d.
rectly traceable to the absence Of true
leisure In their lives. 1t is of the very
essence of leisure that one shall be
and feel free to exercise just those
faculties of the body and mind which
call out for exercise. 1t Is In this
freedom and this chosen exercise that
the pleasure-giving quality Of leisure
lies; and herein Is one of the great
values of true education. BY all round
and Justly proportioned development
of the mind, body and emotions We are
placed In q position to use leisure
wisely and happily.-Scotsman.

cigarette smoke. and he wondered
what caller had preceded him. How
could he know that Mrs. Sinclair had
been smoking furi6usly for the last
half hour while she rallied at her
daughter for her extravaganza and be-
cause she was deliberately trying to
''cut OUT her mother with the elderly
and wealthy Mr.. Slater-and at the
same time fooling around with an "im-
pecunious fellow" like Tom?
When he arrived the shaded lights
shone softly. Deyette was charming
In a gown that was quite different
from the village sort. Tom listened
enthralled to her tales Of their gay
life in the city and eagerly accepted
an invitation to visit them the follow
ing winter.
Il was the result Of that strenuous
society life, Of course, that had forced
them to come to this "charming" little
village for q rest. Now wouldn't Tom
tell more about his work-and what
he hoped to become3 Deyette was
clever, so she listened with much ap-
parent interest while Tom talked, and
sent him away very much pleased.
You could not call Mary Freeman
clever. She was Just sweet and good
and true. Nor would Tom, in describ-
ing her home, say that 1t had "cer-
tain atmosphere" It was, In fact,
much like his own-neat and orderly
and comfortable and pervaded BY q
spirit of unselfish love.
It was this spirit which kept Mrs.
Freeman from commenting on Toms
absence in the hearing Of her daugh-
ter, but 1t could not keep her from
feeling bitterly toward, Tom for caus-

As Mrs. Kent closed the front door
after leisurely survey Of the village

could put the supper on the table; also
that the atmosphere felt quite spring

When Tom had eaten the supper

prepared by the United States Depart

Flowing with tractors presents some
problems that never bother the man
who uses horse-drawn implements. It
Is necessary to lay out fields, so that
high-class Job Of plowing can be done
over the entire area with the minimum
use Of q horse-drawn plow In start
ing and finishing the work. The meth
DDS In general use are divided into
two classes-those in which the plows
are elevated and no plowing is done
across the ends. and those in which
the plows are left In the ground con-
tinuously. In most cases better plow-
ing can be done when the plows are
idle across the ends Of the fields, and
for this reason the methods of this
class are more popular, but many
farmers prefer the other methods, az
they eliminate waste Of time and Ia"
Dor.
Plowmen using tractors wish to re-
duce to q minimum the time spent
in running with plows out Of the
ground. While It is necessary to do
some travelling while the plows are
idle, care should be takeh not to do
too much of 1t, as 1t reduces the num-
her Of acres which can be plowed In
a day. making the tractor that much
less efficient. Short turns, however, are
awkward for most tractors, and where
such turns are necessary the operator
often has more or less difficulty In
getting the outfit in the correct posi-
tion for starting into the new furrow
at the right point. Some tractors turn
more easily in one direction than 9TH
ers, and this should be taken into con-
sideration In laying out the fields.
Advantages Summarized.
The advantages of plowing by the
methods in which the plows are idle
across the ends Of the fields are that
the short, awkward turns are elm.
mated, except in some cases at the be.
ginning and ends Of the lands, and
usually less spaces will be left at the
corners to be plowed with horses. The
advantage of the other methods are
that little or no time is lost in trav.
