Thy fate is the common fate of all

monition is as valuable today as it
was years ago. He certainly was an
earnest believer in doing ones best
and not repining. [ know there's
plenty of encouragement in the up

Another New Year

We are told that there is nothing
new under the sun, and as gen.
eral thing we believe it. but con-
tinually wwe are confronted with a
new year. When we were much
younger than we now are it seemed
to us that there were more days in
a month, or in some mysterious way
it seemed longer from Christmas to
Christmas, we did not county new
years in those days.
The days seem to fly, or to slide
into each other, as we grow older
and before we are even collecting
the scraps of ribbon and the bits
of lace that the fancy workers tell
us to combine into the most gorgeous
things for gifts. The day is upon
us and we must scurry around and
get things done without the dainty
leisure that is expected to go with
fashioning dainty gifts. /
And those new year resolutions.
They begin about the twentieth of
December and are repeated every
day that we are scrimmaging among
our backward plans, the main one
is that these things that are then
hurrying us will certainly be accomo-
plished in January next year, not
later than February, anyway. But
when the new year comes in it
brings all the old things that filled
it, and any number of new duties,
and we wonder what is going to hap
pen to us if we cannot creep out of
some of them. But if we really are
smart, 1 mean if we let our heads
take tare of our heels, and first do tho
essential things and if the others do
not get done we need not fret over
them. One of the blessings of the
passage of time is that as we grow
older we grow wiser, if we have a
grain of sense. And we soon learn
that the skies have never fallen on
us, nor the lightning struck us hard
enough to call our attention to the
fact.
Hard times is still wit hus. There
was a time when money was sc
cheap that dollar would not get as
much as could put in our pocket,
row it is as scarce as the proverbial
hens teeth and when we chase down
a dollar it does not buy any more
than it did four years ago. There
used to be time when not to be able
too quote Longfellow was to
acknowledge oneself not educated,

Curing Beef by the Brining Process
S. p, Live Oak, Fla, writes:
Please give me directions for
preserving beef in brine.

1t is desirable that beef for corn
ing be fat and there is no objection
to using meat of that character for
the purpose you have in mind. Most
people desire to corn only those parts
OF the beef which consist of the rath
er cheap cuts OF course if one is
producing the meat at home one
might desire to corn the whole car
cass. In purchasing meat for corn
ing it is generally good practice 10
use the plate, rump and brisket, be-
cause they can be purchased at
small cost. and they make an excel
lent quality of corned beef.
Beef must be thoroughly cooled be-
fore corning, but not frozen. The
carcass should be cut up in pieces
of as nearly uniform size as possible.
A good saw and a sharp knife are
desirable for this purpose so there
will be no rugged edges. The cor
ners and rugged edges should be
trimmed off.
In proceeding to corn beef follow
these directions and do not vary
from them. For each 100 pounds of
meat use s pounds of salt. Place a
layer of salt one-fourth inch deep in
the bottom of the barrel or con-
tainer and then a layer of meat, and
continue this practice until all the
meat is in the container. Reserve
enough salt to cover the top layer
Let this stand over night. Then
proceed as follows: For each 100
pounds of beef by weight take 4
pounds of brown sugar, 2 ounces
baking soda, and 4 ounces of salt
peter. Dissolve these materials in
one gallon of lukewarm water.
Weight the meat down so as to keep
all of it under the brine. In other
words, when you have made the So
luton indicated above pour it over
the meat. Lukewarm water should
be used so as to insure the quick
dissolution of the ingredients indicat-
ed. These materials should be thor
otIghly mixed with the water by
stirring. The water used to dissolve
the ingredients mentioned should, Of
course, have been first thoroughly
boiled and cooled. During warm
weather the brine may sometimes
become sour or ropy. This is likely
to occur to anyone no matter how
carefully the work may be done in
the first place. In the event it should
happen either remove the old brine
and reboil it, cool and use again, or
better still, make up an entirely
new brine.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW NJ SOULE
of farmers like myself who wish
protection from this pest.


Grain stored in a satisfactory type
Of crib can be protected from wee
vii damage through the use of car
bon bisulphide. This material will
also effectively destroy mice and
rats if properly used. The tighter
your crib the more efficient will be
the results obtained from the use
of this material and the smaller The
amount required to control WeeVi

a loose open crib in which to store
your grain the treatment is more

every 1000 cube feet of space Should
answer. 1t is often necessary, how
ever, to use six pounds.
In treating the grain proceed as
follows: After it has been careful
ly stored secure a quantity of TIN
liquid in proportion to the size OF
your granary and pour it out in shall
low pans which may be set on top
of the grain. In case. Of a tight
granary close the door. If it is

it is exposed to the air. AS 1t
is heavier than the air it sinks
down through the grain and pene
trates every crevice. The treatment
should be continued overnight. Two
pounds of the liquid should be suf'
ficient for 100 bushels of grain.
Do not smoke when handling car
bon bisulphide, or bring lights into
it's vicinity, as it is inflammable. A

else you will decline to talk to
him over the telephone. The
telephone was invented mainly

Here are two girls coming to you
for advice. We are school girls, 10
years and 16 years, and want to
know if we are too young to go with
boys.
I, Brunette, want to know how
to reduce my flesh. I am Is years
old and weigh 100 pounds.
A boy I was going to school with
last year got my ring and won't
give it back to me. Will you please
tell me how to get it?
am going with a boy Is years
old, and I've heard he drinks, but he
never has been in my presence drink
ing. Do you think it will be any
harm for me to go with him once
in a while? Is it any harm to kiss
a boy? And
I, Blonde, want to know what you
should do when a boy kisses you
when YOU are not willing. One hasn't
done me this way, but for fear. l
wanted to know awfully bad. Is it
any harm for boy to squeeze your
hand, or does it mean anything? Is
boy % or 23 years old too old for
girl 10 or 16 to go with? Is it
silly for a girl to get mad enough
with a boy not to speak to him?
Wouldn't it be all right just to speak
and not get up any conversation, II
she is all that mad? If you have any
influence at all over boy, can you
influence him not to drink whisky?
If so, how?
We thank you so much for your
past kindnesses, and truly hope you
will answer these questions.
We are, respectfully,
BLONDE AND BRUNETTE.
You are both old enough to
enjoy the society of boy friends.
Exercise is the only way to re-
duce, but you mustn't eat a
whopping big meal after eXer-
cising, for you will gain in flesh
lIlSl0du VI lOSlllS. SuI Jul Se1IlllSo
candy, sweets of any kind; go
lightly on starchy or fatty foods.
Send your mother or father for
the ring or have them write the
boy a note. If he keeps the
ring he isn't honorable-unless
you gave it to him. There isn't
any harm going with a boy who
is said to drink-if he doesn't
come around you with it in his
system. No harm to kiss boy
if the boy is a baby or under 10.
Blonde:-Slap the young mans
face who kisses you against your
will. He will have more respect,
for you if you do. I don't think
squeezing the hand means any
thing-eXcept it is rather pain
full if squeezed too hard. A young
man % or 23 years old is not
too old to call on girl Is, but
as steady company, I think he is
rather old for so young girl as
one Is or 16. 1t depends on the
cause of anger. If the girl has
been insulted, she is justified in
not speaking to the boy again.
But if it is only a squabb!e, 1T
is silly not to be on speaking
terms. By being pure and high
minded, by having much respect
for all decency of living, you can
p influence this boy to do right.
Your companionship and lofty
mind will help him. You must
be good in order to impart good
ness to others.
