Foolish Grievances.

A grievance collector is not only
gathering in new troubles all the
time, but. cherishes the old ones as
weiigets them out every day. or
two, pinciles and punches them to
see how sore they are. and then
holds them up for anybody to see
who will look, much as a small boy
does q sore toe.
A certain grouchy old collector
OF grievances has told me four
times in the last two months about
fellow who killed his dog twenty
years ago-and he gets fighting
mad every time he tells it. And
there Ii Il woman who has been re-
counting for fifteen years how a
certain friend sighted her at a
party, and she always adds vim
dictively:: And I've never spoken
to her since she isn't worth MOTTO
Ing, anyway
Seems strange, doesn't it, that
one should SO clutter his life with
silly grievances, fill his heart with
bitterness, and occupy his mind
with wrongs, real or imaginary,
long passed? The brain is ones
Workshop. Thought and emotion
are the tools, the will Of the motive
power. Here we must work out
the problems of to-day's work and
Of future living; here we must con-
slider, Judge, resolve; here we must
face the truth and grow into its
likeness.
Unless this workshop is cleared
for action, how can we concentrate
our efforts on the things worth
while? II thought is busy with
silly sights, small grievances, sup
posed wrongs, how can it be free
and strong for the days work? If
the feelings are embittered by a
constant array of sour, sore
grudges, what chances is there Of
winning that cordial liking, the
feeling of kinship necessary both
for success and happiness? And if
the will is kept busy sharpening re-
torts, hamlnerillg our boluses, and
dressing boomerallgs to fling at
imaginary enemies, what strength
is left to do with might the work
the hands find to do?
Out with the rubbish. Let not
the sun go down OH thy wrath. Most
of the insults were never meant,
few OF the sights ever intended J;
most of even the real wrongs
against us do not appear wrong
from the other fellows viewpoint
And whether the grievances are
real or imaginary, it is just as
hurtful and silly to go on collect
ing them. Forget them, let them
slip from the. mind, make little Of
them, laugh at Them forgive them.
Those who learn to live and
work and love, whether the winds
blow east or west, whether the sky
is fair or stormy, whether the
world smiles or frQwns. mods or
winks, are invincible a clean.
pure heart, and Il sweet, poised
temper turn grievances into fl-
vors-Or, at worst, make them
jokes.
There are many things thaat it is
foolish to collect, but the silliest of
all is grievances-From the Par
ish Visitor.

The aHorse laugh

A woman correspondent Of the Port
land Oregonian asks that Journal II
there Is warrant or authority In litera-
ture for the term ''horse laugh" The
lady is evidently Of opinion that the
term Is vulgarism, but the Oregonian
disabuses her OF that impression by
quoting such authorities as Pope, Gold
smith, Richardson and Dickens. It
may need to be added that the three
last named attributed the expression
TO characters drawn by them, but Pope,
a master of literary style in his day,
uses it as his ewn IN Epilosup n
Hatires"

SQUASHES IN HOME GARDENS
smalI-Growing Plants Are Best Suited
for Average Garden-Uss While
Young and Tender.

Two distinct types OF squashes are
commonly grown in home gardens-
the summer squashes, the fruits Of
which are used while they are young
and tender, and the fall and winter
squashes. which are ripened and used
during'the winter months. The small
growing summer squashes are best
adapted to planting In the average gar
den. The larger, or standard, varie-
ties are better adapted to field culture,
although one or two hills might be
planted In a corner or along one side
OF the garden. The hills In which sum-
mer squashes are grown should be
fully four feet apart and a little ma
nure and fertilizer should be worked
into each hill as 1t is being made.

Recognizing the adaptability of sheep
to a wide range of territory, extension
workers of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges have steadily en-
couraged the maintenance of a flock
of sheep In addition to other live
stock on the farm In sections where
farm flocks can be profitably handled.
The Introduction of purebred stock
and the establishing of breeding flOcks
has been an important feature of ex-
tension work In Connecticut and Penn
sylvania in the East, and in Utah,
Washington state, and New Mexico
In the West.
Ram Club Comprises Three Flocks-
In Pennsylvania purebred ram clubs
have been organized and are operating
successfully. These clubs consist Of
three units Of farm flOcks each. A ram
Is purchased for each unit. He is
used in each unit two years and then
transferred from one unit to another
until he has been used in all three
units of the club. The county agent
in Mexican county aided in Organlz-
ing three ram clubs during 1920, pro
vlding nine good rams of Shropshire
breeding for the flocks of members
Of these clubs. All of these rams are
grandsons Of Minton's 81, one Of the
greatest show rams at the Intema-
tlonal In the past few years. Rape
pasture is being used to fatten lambs.
These clubs will also procure purebred
Shropshire ewes, so that each member
will eventually have a purebred flock.
Through the assistance given by the
sheep specialist at the state agricul-
tural college nine ram clubs were or
ganized In Pennsylvania during 1920 /;
$1,000 worth of purebred sheep were
selected and purchased by farmers
In the state In this connection. Sup

associations and the introduction Of
new stock, 30 shearing, docking, and
dipping demonstrations were held, at
