MEN’S VISIONS AND DREAMS
‘'Hitch your waeon to a star” but
keep your feet uii the ground. Dream
ing is a great thing. Great dreamers
are great people. Men of vision and
far-sightedness are the most neces
sary, the most ratable citizens we
have. He who can see into the fu
ture, who can construct mental cas
tles in Spain, who can build without
driving a nail or sawing a board can
be one of humanity’s most priceless
assets.
But there are two methods of
dreaming. There is that which con
jures up fantasies of cobweb texture,
to be whipped away by the first wind;
there is that which envisions nothing
beyond gross absurdities, clear im
possibilities; there is that which leav
es in rniduir pleasant pictures of
sweet millenmms, suspended on
of a deeper knowledge, it dreams in
terms of food and labor and humani
ty. A vision of what one’s farm may
be next year, and the year after, and
the year that lies still further on, is
a vision implanted by heaven itself.
Ambition is a dynamo blessed from
above; don’t discourage it, though it
may mean sacrifice involved in the
purchase of foundation stock for a
greater herd of cattle. Enthusiasm
is an expression of divine power;don’t
shackle it, though it implies a new
burden imposed by the acquisition of
modem machinery. Inspiration is an
attribute not confined to the poet’s
attic, which may be found in the heart
of every virile farm boy; foster it, •
even if it requires sending your
youngster to an agricultural college.
Dreams are costly things to those
who follow them. But like many oth
er costly things, the dividends they
pay are surpisingly big.
NO MORE FREE SEED.
It is a little startling and hard to
believe, but the fact remains that the
country is ginog to have to get along
hereafter without the free seed from
Congress.
The Senate has refused to appropri
ate a quarter of a million dollars tc
buy them for Congressmen to send
to their constituents. So the next free
seed you get will be some your Con
gressman goes down in his personal
pocket and buys to send you. And
you know when that will be.
Of course, there will be some peo
ple who will be disappointed. They
have been so long accustomed to get
ting their yearly package of some
thing for nothing that it will seem
like the government has failed them
in a critical period. But the agricul
tural future of the country isn’t apt
to suffer. And the government will
save a quarter of a million dollars.
That will more than compensate us
all for individual disappointment over
•» t __
not getting a package of free seeds.
A quarter of a million dollars is
quite a little saving, and may do us
some good, if the government doesn’t
turn around and loan it to the Jugo
slavs, or the Lithuanians, or the Hot
tentots or somebody else for ten years
without interest.
If it does that with the money, we
believe wed rather get our free cu
cumber seed, s. we can make our own
pickles. ^
The “knocker” who goes about
whispering lies does not irtjure any
one but himself. His whole life stamps
him as being untrustworthy and dis
posed to lie. He usually assails his
superiors and their well-known integ
rity makes him the laughing stock
the community. And he hasj /to
friends. He is a louse—Con*. y

Times.
According to figures compiled by
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, the man in the city eats
two-thirds more beef, veal and mut
ton than the man in the country, but
the man in the country eats two
thirds more pork than the man in the
city and one-half more poultry.
It has been suggested to us that
the farmer can strike at the ballot box.
He can, indeed, but in common with
everybody else he usually doesn’t hit
a durned thing worth mentioning
when he strikes there.—Hardy Her
ald.
Cardinal O’Connell says a manned
man should be the absolute head of
the house. It’s perfectly safe for a
single man to talk that way.
It seems that Admiral Sims is a
much greater fighter after the war
than he was during the war.
COUNTY BREED DIRECTORIES
Catalogues Are Valuable in Identify
ing Owners and Effective in
Promoting Sales.
• Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Indexing counties as to dominant
breed of live stock maintained, through
the use of county breed directories,
lms won great favor in Iowa, where
several years ago Linn county inaugu
rated ibis work. Such catalogues are
valuable In identifying the owners ot
different breeds and are effective in
promoting sales and in attracting
prospective purchasers to the locality.
They constitute a relatively perma
nent form of advertising, as ordinar
ily they are kept for future reference
by those who receive them. The di
rectories are best issued under the
authority of a county live stock breed
ers association or the local farm bu
renu. Ordinarily the expenses of these
booklets are raised by the sale of ad
vertlsing space to breeders. Practi
cally any rural printing office can put
out creditable productions of tills
class.
ADDITIONAL FEED FOR PIGS
Scalded Middlings, With Milk Added,
Placed in Shallow Trough Is
Fine for Porkers.
When the pigs are about throe
weeks old they will want to eat more
than the milk they can get from their
mother. A small shallow trough
should be placed where the sow can
not get to It. Scald some middlings,
stir and pour In some milk. Put Into
the feed about a tublespoonful of
molasses. Drive the little pigs care
fully over to the trough. They will
get the odor from the molasses, put
their noses to the feed, lap If and
begin to eat.
The Truly Wise.

ot knowledge is not truly wise unless
he appropriates it and can use It for
h!s need.—Dr. John Brown.

PAINT AIDS POULTRY HOUSE
Adds Greatly to Appearance and Serv
, ice of Buildings—Whitewash
Is Cheapest.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Painting adds greatly to the ap
pearance and service of all buildings
and appliances. One may buy ready
mixed paints or may purchase paste
pigments and oil and mix them. All
surfaces should be clean and dry be
fore they are painted. Use a priming
coat made of equal parts of paint and
linseed oil and cover with one or
more coats of paint, which should be
thoroughly brushed into the surface.
Whitewash is the cheapest of all
paints, and may be used either for ex
terior or interior surfnces. It can be
made by slaking about ten pounds of
quicklime in a pail with two gallons
of water, covering the pail with cloth
or burlap and allowing it to sluke for
one hour. Water is then added to
bring tlie whitewash to a consistency
which may be npplled readily. A
weatherproof whitewash for exterior
surfaces may be made as follows:
(1) Slake 1 bushel of quicklime in 12
gnllous of hot water; (2) dissolve 2
pounds of common salt and 1 pound of
sulphate of zinc in 2 gallons of boil
ing water; pour (2) into (1). then add
2 gallons of skim milk and mix thor
oughly. Whitewash Is spread lightly
over the surface with a broad brush.
FIND PERFECTLY FRESH EGG
Quality Is Largely Determined by
Ease With Which Yolk Moves—
Hints on Candling.
(Prepared by the United Staten Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
It is necessary to rotlite an egg be
fore tiie candle if one is to obtain an
accurate knowledge of its condition.
By lilting at various angles, the loca
tion and size of the air space can lie
seen, and very often the position of
tlie yolk. But the quality of the egg
is very largely determined by tlie ease

with which the yolk moves and the di
rection of its motion. The operator,
therefore—
1. <ir..sps the pointed end of the egg
with tile tips of the fingers.
2. Holding the blunt end uppermost,
places the egg closely against the
opening, or spout of I he candle.
3. Gives the egg a quick turn to the
right or left, watching the movement
of the yolk.
If the egg is perfectly fresh it may
be difficult to find the yolk at first
glance, but as the egg is turned a
glimpse of it will be obtained.

MAKE PROFIT FROM POULTRY
No Reason Why More Farmers Cannot
Make Money by Selling Breed
ing Stock and Eggs.
Many farmers are now breeding
standard-bred poultry, exhibiting the
same, advertising, and making a good
profit from the sale of breeding stock,
eggs for hatching, etc. There is no
reason why other tanners cannot do
as well.
