TEACHING THt BUY TU PLOW Praise and Help Are Always In Order Even If the Work Done Is Poor. “Let ine have hold of that plow," said a father to his boy, who was doing the beet he knew to turn a good furrow. “It does not seem to be in you to aiako a good plowman." Hurt, and his feeling of conscious ability to do things much lessened, the boy walked sadly away to other work, while the father did, it is true, a tine job of plowing. The father had helped the Add and hurt the boy. "Hne, son, fine," said another fa ther that day to his son, also wrestling for the first time with the problem of plowing. "You are doing bravely. Now, may I suggest that you lower your heel a wee bit and lengthen out the braces a hole? You see the line of draft is a trifle high. Let mo show you the principle of the thing." Together they counseled and tinkered. The lad started off again, doing better work, pleased, grateful and confident. He had been given a notable start toward success in life just by that bit of praise, encouragement and teaching. Half the value of the farm Is as a place to develop the boy.—Breeders’ Gazette. MIGHT LEARN FROM DENMARK Small Country’s Success In Agriculture Showa the Great Posalbllitlea for Thia Country. Denmark is a little country. It contains only 15,388 square miles and about 2,600,000 people. It lies between the parallels of 55 and 57 degrees north latitude, or on a parallel with northern Labrador, southern Alaska, and the middle of Hudson’s bay. Yet this tiny kingdom In 1813 exported $1*0,448,000 worth of merchandise, of which about $136,000 consisted of farm products. Denmark has achieved this position In the trade world partly because of the most practical system of education the world can show, partly as a result of superb and all-pervading co-opera-tlon, partly by sheer thrift, honesty and industry. It is probable that the natural resources of the little nation are not a quarter as great as those of the state of Michigan. How large a population could our country support if Danish standards of agriculture could be adopted throughout the United States? Swiss Furs. Although Switzerland has a com paratlvely Important fur Industry, the sliverblack fox Is not at present reared in captivity in, the republic. It is the intention, however, to start breeding In some of tho northern valleys. About a year ago a skunk farm was started near Lucerne, but no pelts have been taken as the ranchers wish to leave the animals undisturbed un til they become more thoroughly acclimated. The owners of this skunk farm also contemplate obtaining some fishers from Maine, as they have found that in the canton Nidwaldon flne-halred marten are to be found Fishers, they believe, do well where ever the marten Is found. This com pany also raises foxes. There is a Swiss association of furriers with headquarters at Berne and branch as soclations In all the larger cities. The fur industry Is growing in Switzerland. and it might pay American exporters to ship breeding animals to Europe. Didn't Know How He Got Answer. The late P. D. Armour was a rare example of a self-made man. An old employe of his is responsible for the following story. After a caller had left his office one day Mr. Armour turned to one of his associates and said: ”1 worked with that man in a crossroads store in New York state. A customer came in, I remember, and want ed five and six-eighths yards of muslin that was worth six and three-eighths cents per yard. I measured up the goods, wrapped it and banded the package over the counter. “How much is it?” asked the cus tomer —and I told him without hesita tion. A moment later the proprietor came over to me and asked me how J had figured it out. "I didn’t know then, and I am frank to confess that I don’t know now; but I had the answer for that customer right on the tip of my tongue.” The Black Death. This terrible plague, originating somewhere in the East, passed byway of Armenia into Asia and thence to Egypt and North Africa. Reaching Sicily In 1345, it spread over Italy, France and nearly all of the countries Europe, including the British isles. The mortality was appalling, some 25,000,000 of people dying from tho dread epidemic. The nature of tho great pestilence has been a matter of much controversy, but It is generally conceded that it was closely related to what is known today as the “bubonic plague.” Wanted ft Sharper. Helen is very fond of ice cream, also of decided flavors. One day at a party she was served with maple ice cream of which tho flavor wa*i very mild. She ate but little of it. "Why, Helen,” cried the surprised hostess, ‘what’s the matter with you? I thought you were so fond of ice cream.” "This is too dull,” Helen politely replied.
