RmSSIMEYEIIS f»» Backache Kiomeysand Bladocd A Condition, Not a Theory. A sociologist iu conversation with a practical person from the middle west concerning the labor problem in her part of the country thereby learned the lesson of the situation. “Are there many men out of work?” he asked. The lady admitted that there were quite a number. “What,” said he then, “do the un employed do?” “Nothing,” said the lady. “That’s the trouble.”—Youth's Companion. His Only Hope. A lawyer of New Orleans tells this story: An old negro was brought up before the judge charged with chick en stealing, and when the usual ques tion was propounded, “Guilty or not guilty?” he said, “I don’t know, boss; I jest throw myself on the ignorance of the court.”—Case and Comment.

Somm'm’iuYm in farming is doomed. Cold facts of better practice are waking up more farm ers to improved opportunities at borne than have figured in the pleas antest dreams. —American Agri cul’urist. Poultry Pointers. Boys and girls attending school have splendid opportunities for poultry rais ing. Except the close' attention that must be given to incubators and young chicks, school hours do not stand In the way of poultry raising. Ambitious boys and girls can solve the problems of poultrymen. The orchard is a splendid place for poultry to range In. Poultry is a very good insect destroyer. Save all the grain, such as Kaffir, inilo, sorghum, broom corn seed, mil let seed, etc., for poultry. It Is often difficult to get a variety of food for fowls during winter. Nearly all diseases of poultry can be traced to filth. Clean off the drop iboards frequently. j Don’t forget the charcoal, grit. etc. Keep plenty always iu reach of the poultry. t A coat of lime inside the poultry jliouse Is an Improvement in many Ivrays. It makes the room lighter; It jpreserves the woodwork; it fills up the jcrevlces and prevents them from be coming breeding places <>f Insects. '*DRY FARM DECALOGUE.

It is due to a sliine mold disease ivhich lives over as a sa prophyte in tint soil. The infection is subterranean; hence spray measures are of no avail. Crop rotation is the best means of avoiding this pest. Set only healthy plants. Infested land should nut lie set again in cabbage for several year*.
