Following Good Practices
About the first thing that may be
done toward getting better stock and
better homes is to check up on condi-
lions as they are and see the many
ways in which they may be improved.
But most people are not able TO make
the best of what they have. A man
who lets his buildings and fences fall
down. pays no attention to rotation or
crops, lets his manure leach away into
the creeks, forgets or neglects to feed
end care for his stock regularly. and
lets his wife go ont to pump water and
split wood. Is apt to instlll into the
minds Of his children the idea that no
body Is ever a farmer who is smart
enough to be anything else. On, the
other hand, one who maps out his
course and lets no season go by with
out making some improvements 10 his

Gradual, continuous livestock Inn

years by the most successful live

live stock--grading up. eliminating the

AS rule, better stock means better
homes and better homes better stock.
There are exceptions, of course, but
when you think Of the one II is very
likely that you think Of the other also.
Even II you are making no effort to
grow high-grade stock or purebreds
you are apt, after taking more pride
In your home and your buildings, to
take better care Of the ordinary stock
on your farm. An expert can get bet

made with the highest grade or pure

who make really good returns by ham,

In some Of the older-settled regions

Schwab Prophesies Revolution"

There are not many people be-

Ing engine SO much better than any
Of Its predecessors that from the same
amount of fuel II develops three times
as much Of available energy as the
best Of steam-drlven. cil-fred engines.
That Is statement so large that It
would be heard with credulity only

In other words. from a man like Mr..
Schwab. As he says that the new
engine has passed beyond the expert

year, there seems to be little chance
that he Ii mistaken.

FIGHTING ON POLISH FRONT.
Poles Defeat the Bolsheviki-Capture
 Guns and Prisoners.

NuhS anu ltAsOneFS.
 Warsaw, March 28. - Extremely heavy fighting is reported on the Pol ish front. A communication issued today announces that after the great est artillery preparation yet experi- enced the Bolshevik infantry advanced against the bridgehead at Zwiechel, aided by tanks and armored ears.
 After sharp engagement" says the communication, "the Polish troops launched a- counter-attack with bavo- nets and hand grenades, driving the enemy far from the Polish line"
 "The Poles,' the communication continues, captured one tank and some machine guns and prisoners. Simultaneously the Poles.attacked the Seventh Bolshevik Division, which was on the offensive in the sector of Emil ozen, and compelled the enemy to re- treat easterly, abandoning his bat teries, horses, ammunition and ma- chine guns. At other points attempts to cross the river Sluez were checked"
 The communication adds that inten- sive artillery fire continues by both sides, and that the Bolsheviki are re- forming their shattered units for the purpose of counter-attackinp

 But the applause did not frighten General Wood. A more timid man might have fallen into line with the senator and gone him one better. But that is not General Woods way. When he arose he said:
 'I refuse to believe that you are ex- pressing disapproval of a Christian act. If you are, you are not fit to be Americans. Are you people going to deny food and clothing to starving Europe? If you are, you are unfit to live under the American flag"
 The audience was dazed for the mo- ment. The voters had not been used to hearing candidates speak so plain ly. But they soon caught the spirit of the man who was speaking to them they saw he was in earnest; they knew he was the real statesman and the other speaker the demagogue Then they applauded General Wood more vociferously than they had ap- plauded Senator Poindexter. In an nouncipg the returns from the pri- mary electioIiit was stated, after giv- ing the great plurality for General Wood, that Senator Poindexter re- ceived few scattering votes.

 The Goal That Is Never Reached.

The Goal That Is Never Reached. From The Continent.
 Practically every man-this includes church men and non-church men as well--who talks for more religion, who argues that the country has got to get on different ground spiritually or perish, is immensely pleased with himself for being so spiritually mind ed. He feels good at being so good.
 And that kind of religion is always inpotent.
 There is no religion of any dynamic force anywhere except religion dis satisfied with itself-religion that won't let man rest.
 Only those who feel they ought to be much better than they are can get anybody else to be better than he is.
 But from all symptoms one sees about him, it hardly seems too strong to express serious doubt whether there is one soul left in this country who is crying today: God be mcrci- full to me, sinner"
 Far the more typical American prayer--acted rather than spoken--is: 70 God, aren't you delighted to see how good we're getting?" Thousands and thousands of Ameri- cans just now are carrying round with them highly complacent sense of having greatly obliged God by accept ing some of his ideas.
 There will be no big revival in America until a tremendous host of men slide shamefacedly down from their pinnacle of conceit.
 And instead of the manner which says plainer than words, "See how much of the will of God we are willing to do," they will have to learn to ask
 What remains to do in order that Gods will may all be done?
 For the greatest saint, in order to be potent Christian, must dwell not on his virtues but on his sins--not on what he has done but on the errors and omissions which still leave the measure of his duty scant.
