Vhilosophy of a Pessimist.

Some people are always up and doing—other people. To borrow is human —and to forget to pay back is more so. Patriotism is frequently used as a oloak by scheming politicians. All the honey a bee gathers during its life dosen’t sweeten its sting. A few days after a man weds an angel she begins to shed her wings. A woman’s worst is her fault inclination to believe everything a man tells her. Some people have weak eyes simply because they are located in a weak place. There are times when the absence of crankiness indicates the absence of sense. It dosen’t matter to some men whether they ride in an automobile or a patrol wagon. Lots of married men are glad they at least have the privilege of thinking as they please. There are some glassblowers in this country who can work only when the glass has foam on it.

A woman admires one man for the qualities he has and loves another for the qualities he hasn’t. A man’s meaning may be the same daring courtship and after marriage, but it is expressed in different language. But few women would enjoy going anywhere if it wasn’t for the pleasure it affords them to talk about it after they return home.

Observations o_f an Optimist.

Trouble seldom visits those who do not expeot it. Failures should be used as stepping stones to future success. Hope for the best —prepare for the worst —and take what comes. Woman was born to love and be loved —and she fights it ont on that line. Cynics and pessimists have a hard row to hoe in this contrary old world. Happy is the woman who has as many changes of gowns as she has of mind. It’s surprising how much a woman can say about herself without telling anything. The wise worm dosen’t crawl out until after the early bird has eaten his breakfast. It doesn’t matter if beauty is only skin deep so long as the skin is worn on the outside. Dying in poverty is easy enough; it’s living in poverty that comes hard on a fellow. It is only in accord with the eternal fitness of things that miss, kiss and bliss rhyme together. It is the circumstances of men over which she has no control that is responsible for the spinster. Out of every evil comes good. The apple Eve swiped has furnished employment to thousands of tailors and dressmakers. It may be that ice cream is unhealthly, but the motive of the young man who tries to prove it to his girl friends is apt to be misconstrued.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Merita of the Male. The average farmer probab'y Is not aware of the fact that an average mule sells for $lO per bead more than horses, says St. Louis Republic. Such Is the case, and the price has been gradually rising for a number of years. There has never been what would be called an overproduction of mules, while the market has often been'unable to fully supply the trade. The ability of the mule to endure great heat has brought it into most general use in the southern states, where large farms are devoted entirely to raising them. The mule matures more quickly than the horse and can be placed on the market from one to two years sooner than the average horse. This means a large profit to the producer and quicker returns for the investment. A well fed mule can be worked at two years of age with safety if proper judgment is exercised by the driver. They are much less nervous than a horse, thus not so liable to accident or blemish. A blemish that woo’d make a fine horse unsalable would take but a trifle from the price of a mule.

Potatoes u Sfoelc Feed. There is danger in feeding potatoes, as with other roots, in the fact that they may induce scouring. To avoid this the careful feeder will begin giving potatoes in only small amounts to his stock, gradually increasing the quantity as the animals become accustomed to this food. As soon as there are any signs of looseness of the bowels he will diminish slightly the quantity of potatoes fed. If scouring actually occurs It will set the nnimals back in gaining flesh or giving milk for several days or even some weeks if the attack is a serious one. Because potatoes are cheap the farmer should not be careless in feeding them to his stock. By using them Judiciously and accustoming his animals to this kind of food potatoes will prove satisfactory.—Professor W. A. Henry in "Feeds and Feeding." The Farm Work Team. The work teams of the farm should be the best of animals and provided with the first and best of the produce of the fields. When the farmer commences to realize that the horse is his best friend and commences to manifest this appreciation by providing better care, better stables, better harness and better treatment generally there will be a decided improvement noticeable In agriculture on the farm end the farm profits will be immeasurably Increased. The keeping of a better class of horses on the farm for farm uses is In the Interest of better farming, better farming is in the line of larger profits, larger profits lead to Improvements and developments in property values, which makes our farm homes the Ideal of agricultural ambition.— Inland Farmer.-.?"

Selecting Good Howl. In tbe selection of sows there are a few points which should be sought for In addition to those mentioned as requisite in the boar, says American Cultivator. Sows should be docile and have at least twelve teats of equal size, evenly placed and carried well forward on the belly. Large flat teats are invariably blind—i. e., they possess no milk duct. Young sows should also be of good size and quality. Care should be taken to ascertain if their dams have been good milkers, as this quality Is hereditary. A young sow should get plenty of exercise until she is ready for breeding, wulch is at the age of about eight months.

Spread Manure on the Land. Manure should not be dumped in the fields, but spread on the ground at tbe time of loading at the barnyards. If manure is dumped and a rain eOmes lH?fore it is spread the spot upon which was placed the manure will receive the largest share of the soluble portions. This may be noticed on all fields where the manure has been dumped, as certain portions were enriched, the growth of the crop, especially of grass, being very uneven. These enriched portions show the effects of the extra allowance of manure for years and give good evidence in favor of its liberal use.—Farm Visitor.

Water Used by Plants. Interesting work was done by the Wisconsin experiment station to determine how many pounds of water It required to produce a pound of dry matter In some of the leading crops. With barley It required over 400 pounds, oats slightly over 500 and com about 800. To bring barley to maturity the station estimated that It required about thirteen Inches of water as rainfall, oats about nineteen Inches, com about twenty-six inches. Although less water la required to manure a pound of corn, the greater tonnage to the acre requires the larger total. Ftellag Young Pigs. The pigs should be got out on the ground as soon as possible, so that they will not become inactive or deformed. Hie feed should be Increased gradually. Foods rich In protein should be used, such as oats, barley, etc. As the pigs grow older a little corn may be added to the ration. It la often well to scatter some shelled corn on the floor of the pen, so that the sow will take exercise In picking up the grains.

Tkt PrsltsM* Brood Mors. Farmers who raise only one or two foals a year should always keep in mind the fact that there Is more profit In keeping one good brood mare and sending her to a well bred stallion that la a good individual every year than In a yard full of common or ordinary mares. The more that a man raises frqrn the latter kind the smaller his bank account will be.—Horseman.

Knew David's Pen. David Belasco says that In the days when “The Charity Ball” wan being put through the early rehearsals one of the actors of the compauy came up to the late H. C. De Mille, who had collaborated with Mr. Belasco In writing the piece, to complain of one of his speeches. It so happened that the lines which the actor objected to ware quoted from the Psalms, and Mr. De Mille said, "It may be as bombastic and stilted as you say, but don't blame me; blame David.” “I thought as much,” snorted the actor. "I might have recognised Dave Belasco's old fashioned pen without asking.”—New York Times. Th« Secret Oat. When Senator Beveridge was making his closing speech on the statehood bill be said: "Boms of the senators are

trying to prove that things exactly similar are different. They remind me of the young woman who was called on to defend her sex against the charge that a woman can never keep a secret. “ ‘We can, too,’ she exclaimed. ‘lt isn't the woman that gives away the secret. It is the people she tells it to that let it out.’ ’’—St. Louis Post-Dis-patch. New President of the D. A. R. Mrs. Donald McLean of New York, who succeeds Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks as president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, is perhaps as widely known as any woman in public life. She is a woman of strong personality, fine Character and noted for determination and tenacity of purpose.
