A LINE O. CHEER
BY John kendrick Bangs.
THE LIGHT-BEARER

VOU cannot be the sun,
i But you can carry light
To those whose paths must run
Through ways of night.
You cannot be a star
That lights the heavenly way,
But where dark shadows are
At close Of day.
Fen as the star anon
Leads to the morning clear.
So too may you lead on
To realms of cheer.

Picric Acid: How Obtained.

Picric acid is a high explosive which
was used in large quantities during
the war, and is now being distributed
to farmers for agricultural uses. No
charge is made by the government for
the explosive itself, but as it has to be
dried out and cartridged before it can
be used for peaceful purposes the cost
of this work must be paid by the far
mer. It is a comparatively safe ex-
plosive and is used in the same way
that other agricultural explosives are
used. It has several advantages over
commercial explosives in that it keeps
indefinitely without deteriorating, it
is not affected by heat or cold, and it
does not cause headaches or other i'll
effects when used in the open air. Be-
cause Of it's greater cost of manufac-
ture, it will never be competitor of
commercial dynimites. It is being
distributed for the purpose Of increas-
ing interest in land clearing The de-
tails of the method of distribution can
be secured from the various state
agricultural colleges.-Press Service

Sell UnDrOfitahle Cows.

Now is the time when the farmers
should be culling out their cows and
sending the poor ones to the stock
yards. The herds should be cut down
for winter keeping. It is inadvisable,
of course, to cripple the herd by over
selling. Every farm should keep
every cow that it can from a feed
standpoint. In culling the herds there
should be no guesswork and only the
cows that are Improbable should be
sold. Here comes in the work of the
cow testing association. A farmer
who is in the COW testing association
can weed out his herd without any
guesswork and so he keeps the cows
that are profitable and by breeding
from them year after year builds up
his herd until they become dependable
money-makers. However, begin nov
to check over the cows with the ides
of selling off the poor producers

Producers Profit Makers.

High producers are money makers,
low producers are mortgage makers,
says R. c. Engberg Of the division Of
farm management at University farm,
after compiling data in series Of
comprehensive cost of production
studies made in Steel county in 1921.
Three farms having comparatively
high average production of 227 pounds
per COW produced butterfat at profit
of II cents per pound, whereas three
neighboring dairymen with an average
of only 1876 pounds per cow were 13
cents in the hole" for every pound of
butterfat taken to the creamery. On
the other hand, occasional instances OF
extravagant feeding, undue amounts
of labor or similar abnormally high
costs were found to nullify the bene-
fits of high production.-News Letter

SOILS NEED LIME.
Acid Conditions Destroy Alfalfa Bac-
terra; Apply Coat of Lime
nr Mar1

or Marl.
The chief difficulty in growing al
falfa in Sherburne county, is the acid
condition of the soil. The acid in the
soil destroys the bacteria which fur
nishes the alfalfa plant with nitrogen,
without these organisms known as
bacteria the alfalfa plants live only
a short while.
Fields that are acid as most fields
are in this section, and which have
never had alfalfa planted on them do
not have in the soil alfalfa bacteria,
therefore the necessity of innoculat-
ing the alfalfa seed while planting.
Even though the alfalfa seed be in
noculated with bacteria, if the soil is
strongly acid, few if any Of the bac-
terra will live to be a benefit to the
plants. Therefore the necessity Of
lining our soils to neutralize the
acidity in order that the bacteria may
live and furnish the young alfalfa
plants with the food they require.
Lime can be secured from the Min
nesota Crush Limestone company at
$3.1O per ton f. o. b. Minneapolis.
When applying limestone Of this char
acter it should be applied at the rate
of 2 to tons to the acre. Where ex-
! periments have been tried it has been
found that in most cases 4 tons of
ground limestone per acre more than
doubles the yield of 2 tons per acre,
and that 2 tons of ground limestone
per acre will usually increase the
yield from 25 to 100 per cent, where
no fertilizer or lime has been added.
Recently several beds of mari have
been found in Sherburne county, this
mari is light grey substance usually
found in the bottom of peat bogs OF
near receding lakes and which contain
from rs to 80 per cent lime. Marl is
just as effective as limestone whe1
added to the soil in the proper amount
and where it can be secured withou1
hauling too great distance it will b.
found much cheaper.
Where farmers suspect or believ'
they have discovered a bed Of mari tn

Early Flowing Beneficial.

Early plowing has the advantage Of
turning under weeds which make
good green manure, and spelling the
seeds Of many others, giving the tena-
cious weeds like quack grass a set
back, starting other weeds growing in
time to be caught by the frost, and
destroying hosts of insects by bury
ing their eggs so deeply that they are
smothered and by destroying their
food and resting places.

Better Progeny by Culling.

That culling the poultry flock to get
rid Of all those birds except the vigor-
Gus, prolific layers results in noticea-
BILE improvement to the progeny is
shown by recent Investigations at the
United States experimental farm at
Beltsville, Md. The late moulters Sc
lected from flock of 100 Rhode Island
Reds in the fall of 1920 laid seven
more eggs per bird during their Sec
ond year than the original flock as
pullets. They were used as breeders
the following spring, and the first Red
pullets to commence laying in the fall
of 1921 were found to be the offspring
of these late-moulting hens. Their
pullets in a period of seven months
have already averaged about two
dozen eggs per bird more than the
original flock.
But it is not alone in number of
eggs that the late-moulter's progeny
excel, but also the value Of the pro-
duct, as the distribution was more
even, much larger proportion Of the
eggs being laid during the winter
months. In the last seven months the
daughters of the late nnoulters moi
only averaged two dozen eggs pei
bird more than the original flock, but
the value of their product was, figur
ing at the same prices, about $1.04 pei
bird more during the same period. L
| is expected that this margin will in
crease during the next five months.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
tifully dark and lustrous almost over

drug store. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
are sold annually, say well-known drug
gists here, because it darkens the hair
SO naturally and evenly that no one can
tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them, because after one or two ap-
plications the gray hair vanishes and
your locks become luxuriantly dark and
beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't wanted
around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound tonight and
you'll be delighted with your dark,
handsome hair and your youthful ap-
pearance within a few days.

Halloween used to be a lot Of fun.
1t was an evening wnen. the young
folks got together and dared the
witches and warlocks. Girls con-
iured up the faces of future hus-
bands through witchcraft rituals and
found a pleasant terror in the act.
And everybody had a lot of fun. That
was in the old dys.
And her the youth ran to a period
of deviltry. The witches and war
locks abroad on Halloween of later
date took on an evil and mischevous
character. They sought to damage
and annoy. And Halloween took on
the character of a school of imps and
trolls out for recess.
But a change is noticeable of later
years. The assumption that Hallow-
cen is a night of license and unre
strained deviltry is fading. That fun
is TO be had only through destruction
and annoyance and license is no longer
accepted as fact. There is a revul-
sion from the idea in the minds of
youths who formerly took pleasure
in pure deviltry. A prank is one
thing. Deliberate damage to prop
erty and profligacy under the guise
of play doesn't appeal to them as to
those Of a past generation. There is
evident a decided change in the atti-
tude, especially that of the high
school boy, toward Halloween and
what he should and should not do to
keep his witches holiday.
At least this is true of local con.
ditions, as a little quiet eavesdrop
ping behind a group of lads or a con.
versation between your boy and an
other will make clear.
And that is corroborative evidence
that men and boys improve as gener
ations pass. The youth of this yea,
are more manly in many ways AM
more thoughtful than those of previ
Gus generations. They are doing NOR
thinking. And this is as it should be
