FRICTION.
The life and efficiency of every ma¬
chine depends on overcoming friction.
Friction wears things out, and to over¬
come friction is the recognized need
of today in every branch of industrial
activity. A large item in the cost of
operating every machine is that cover¬
ing anti-friction bearings and lubri¬
cants. Neglected friction will quickly
wreck and land any machine on the
scrap pile.
Railway systems, steamship lines,
manufacturing plants of overy descrip¬
tion, telegraph and telephone com¬
panies, great and small, all employ
highly trained and well paid experts
constantly to supervise and test appa¬
ratus and structure for the purpose of
guarding against breakdown from tho
development of any inherent weakness
tn physical equipment and to test finan¬
cial and executive departments in or¬
der to insure agulUBt breakdown or
any loss of efficiency in these Im¬
portant functions of our great artificial
bodies. Experience has evolved a now
well established economic theory In
the busines world to the effect, that
it Is cheaper to spend money to pre¬
vent wrecks than it is to spend money
to clear away and repair wreckage.
Hut for man himself, the one funda¬
mental factor upon and for whom the
entire Industrial structure exists, this
theory of the business world is re¬
versed. The theory upon which the
medical profession has been organized
Is highly absurd and Irrational. The
physician must stand around and wait
until there Is a human breakdown, and
then he is called in only as a repair
man—frequently too late to secure
worth while results.
A machine will squeal and squeak
and sob when in trouble, and we all
know there are but two alternatives
to such conditions—rest and lubriea-
tlon to overcome the roughness, or an
early trip to the junk yard. And It is
the same with man: Man feels, and
on every side we see evidence of t.lin
squealing, the squeaking and tho sob-
bing of the nerves composing the hu-
man machine; and but little effort Is
made to remove the cause. And in our
mortality and other statistical tableB
we see the result in an ever rising
premature mortality—an enormous
economy loss through destruction at
what should be the period of greatest
usefulness and efficiency.
Genius is the type of mind that per-
celves and grasps principles where the
ordinary mind sees only Isolated facta.
Crtle, with the flash of genius grasp-
ing the principle of cell exhaustion, de-
veloped and demonstrated it to be tho
cause of death from “shock," a dls-
covery acknowledged by no less an au-
thority than Sir Berkeley Moynlhan at
a recent meeting of the British Medl-
cal association to be “epoch-making.”
It is "epoch-making," not only be-
cause it has reduced death from
“surgical shock” to an almost negli¬
gible quantity, but “epoch-making" be¬
cause it gives a rational explanation
to the serious physical and mental re¬
sults arising from long continued irri¬
tation of any part of the body, wheth¬
er the victim be conscious or- uncon¬
scious of the irritation. It is “epoch-
making” because it establishes a rea¬
sonable cause for and a sane ba^is
from which to combat intelligently
that large group of vague but most
distressing troubles covered by the
general term neurasthenia, conditions
treated with little success but consid¬
erable levity’and profit by a large per¬
centage of the profession. And fur¬
ther it is “epoch-making" because it
demonstrates man to be subject to the
same laws as the primary battery—it
proves we can be run down and ex¬
hausted even beyond the point of re¬
cuperation by too frequently repeated
nerve cell discharges Incident to tho
daily routine of life. We may short-
circuit and exhaust our cells by use¬
less worry, work and friction, or wo
may guard our tissues and so conserve
our vitality as to live long and happily.
It Is largely a matter of avoiding fric-
tior—irritation.
It natters not whether the irritation
be in the eyes, the feet or the abdo¬
men. the final exhaustion is In the
brain, and the net result is premature
decay.
INERTIA.
Matter is anything that occupies
space and all matter is subject to uni¬
versal, immutable law. Our brains are
composed of matter and are, therefore,
subject to these same laws.
Among the characteristics of mat¬
ter are those covered by Newton’s
three laws of motion:
1. All bodies continue in a state of
rest or of uniform motion in a straight
line unless acted upon by some ex¬
ternal force that compels a change.
2. Every motion or change of mo¬
tion is proportional to the acting force
and takes place in the direction of the
straight line along which the force
acts.
3. To evariy action there Is always
I an equal nM contrary reaction.
The *' rst ' * aw motion states that
a bo<iy on ® e Hfit ,n motion will move
forever in a straight line with the
same velocity unless acted upon by
* some other force which compels a
change. This property is known as
inertia. Inertia is not a force, but is
tho resuit of absorbing force.
The hardest thing we have to over¬
coma In ourselves is mental Inertia.
An idea once formed will persist until
a stronger one overwhelms it and
alters it. This • is the foundation of
habit and the reason the past has so
strong a hold on us always. The past
is the line of least resistance and
loaning on it is highly characteristic
of one with a slothful Intellect, the tra¬
dition worshiper, the dawdling con¬
servative.
We are naturally conservative be-
cause it requires an initial efTort to up-
rout old notions and habits; it i« pain-
ful and we resent it We want to be
let. alone.
If because of some indiscretion we
had a pain yesterday for which by
recommendation of authority we took
something out of a bottle, it Is easier
to repeat the act again today than it
is to determine tho cause or to ignore
the temporary penalty or pain and re-
solve to sin no more. To repeat an
act in usually to follow the line of
least resistance. It requires less
thought and less effort with each
repetition until finally an automatic
cycle of reaction is established and a
habit Is born.
With the track once laid, a word
spoken, the Hash of a sign before the
eye, the most remotely associated idea,
each serves as a signal for a train of
thought bringing into action automatic¬
ally a complicated line of co-ordinating
nerve centers, and the act i« again per¬
formed practically Involuntarily, often
unconsciously.
This is why the drunkard is in a
perilous condition if he contents him¬
self merely with saying or swearing
that ho will avoid strong drink.
Thought precedes action and therefore
if thought be not clearly focused on
some wholesome dominant idea it
must inevitably revert to the estab¬
lished line.
To rescue one permanently from
habit we must have an equivalent in
some mental occupation sufficiently at¬
tractive to submerge the old imp*es-
sions, else one’s vitality will be squan¬
dered in the struggle. Inability to re¬
sist drink or drugs or bad habits in
general is because of inertia,
H oub is weak it la difficult to gen-
I «‘*tn sufficient power to overcome the
accumulated force of the little act fre-
quently repeated, and one becomes a
slave to habit.
Habits may be good or bad; both
aro the natural and inevitable result
°F training. For the future must grow
ou t of and inherit the present, just as
the present grew out of and inherited
the past. Intelligence gives thorough
training, good habits, good health and
happiness. Ignorance or indifference
gives bad training, vicious habits, dis¬
ease and crime. Had habits can be
surely and safely broken, not by sub¬
stitution, nor by cures, nor by miracles,
but only by a frank and courageous
recognition of the true conditions and
& sane development out ot them.
The fundamental necessity for the
correction of bad habits is intellectual
integrity—a rare quality. The most
difficult and unpleasant duty we have
to perform, but one absolutely neces-
sary if we would have good health and
he able to use the greatest power
within the reach of man, thought, is to
* )e square and truthful with ourselves,
Bee ourselves as we are.
Thought is the one and only domain
wherein man can reign supreme, for
while we may not determine what we
shall think, we can govern what wo
shall think about, and we have tho
power to aualyze, to measure, weigh,
judge and accept or reject any thought
on any subject. 1'hought is a canni¬
bal because thought lives upon thought
and unless constantly given fresh and
substantial food it must starve and
become inert.
But to think is to change; nothing
can prevent that, and w^iave noted
that we are constitutionally opposed
to change. Hence most of us solva
the matter by refusing to think; we
just drop into line and do the conven¬
tional lockstep and “go where we’re
taken.” It is simple and pleasant to
sit In the easy chair of the old order
and lot the universe wag along; one
travels much more smoothly if the
head contains only the ideas others
have developed.
But there is another side to it. It
a phystotogteal truth that any organ,
denigd the right to function, will
atrophy, and an atrophied organ sooner
ar later must become the source of ill
health. Experts in any department of
human architecture will verify that
fact. The brain is the organ of thought,
constructed under pressure of neces¬
sity by h long line of ancestors who
used it in the struggle for existence;
it is the dominant and fundamental
factor tn the creation of all human
wealth and power and the general
manager and regulator of our bodies
today. Unused brain capacity causes
trouble and danger to both the indi¬
vidual and the community.
We will come into a better state of
health not so much by improving
physical conditions outside as by im¬
proving the physical apparatus and
working of our own mind and bodies
from the inside.

Two Home Grown Feeder*.
(liy u M bknnington.)
One of the chief disadvantages that
most cattle feeders have to contend
wlt h i 8 the purchase of feeders from
some remote district. If it 1 b possible
t o select a small bunch of good qual-
ity> uniform-sized feeders of about the
sara6 age In hl8 own neighborhood
they wlll make a more IJro fl tab i e , ot
0 f feeders for the average farmer to
finish than the class of feeders that
come from 8ome remote strict,
Many failures among feeders can
be traced directly to the fact that
they are not acquainted with tho ef¬
fects of acclimation and domestication
of the purchased feeders and fail to
get them started off in good condi¬
tion.
Then again some farmerB come to
the conclusion that it is unprofitable
to keep a herd of cows and believe
that they can buy their feeders for
less money than they can afford to
grow them. These men soon find
their mistake, and many who have
sold their cow herds are now develop¬
ing new herds for the purpose of
raising their own feeders.
EXCELLENT NOTES
ON CARE OF SWINE
All of Leading Breeds Are Adapt¬
ed to Economical Production
—Keep Animals Healthy.
The use of corn in bog-feeding
should be tempered with judgment.
The corn and hog crop go hand la
hand. A man starting in farming in
the West relies upon this combination.
The hog from first to last is capable
of getting a large proportion of its
feed from grasB.
We are apt to make the mistake of
feeding grain too freely because the
hog utilizes it so efficiently and eco¬
nomically.
No breed enjoys any mark£-ii prefer¬
ence in the markets of the Country.
All of the leading breeds are^adajfced
to economical production.
To have healthy swine on the farm
the first essential i3 to have good, vig¬
orous. healthy, breeding animals.
Sunbeams, crude carbolic acid and
lime are the best and cheapest disin¬
fectant.
When hog-waterers are used they
should be cleaned frequently aud a
lump of quicklime dropped in the bar¬
rels occasionally will assist in keeping
them sweet and clean.
Health and drugs have no affinity
in the successful management of a
herd of swine.
Health is natural. Disease unnat¬
ural. Both are contagious.
If in the fight between health and
disease we give nature a little encour¬
agement we will come off victorious.
It is, after all. more our mission to
keep our hogs healthy than to allow
them to keep themselves in that condi¬
tion.
We should keep the hogs close com¬
pany, study their habits and their re¬
quirements and then cater to them.
Add to this, humane treatment; and
we have solved the whole problem.
Mud Is not a good thing to feed pigs
In, dust is worse. Both should be
avoided as much as possible.
A short nose is good, but a long
body is better.

The practise of many farmers of
driving a team through cold water to
wash the 'filth from their feet and legs
is dangerous, as it causes many dis¬
eases that they are subject to.
A warm or overheated team should
not be put in a cold airy place, but
first exercised and then blanketed
and put in a warm stable and after the
blankets are removed the horses
should be wiped dry with straw or
cloths.
When a team has been exposed to
Theu again there Is another matter
that enters into the economy of the
feeding question, and that is the mat¬
ter of selling the cattle before they
are finished. There are times when
it will be more money in the feeder’s
pocket to sell the cattle when they
are just off grass, 'even though the
price seems small compared with what
corn-fed cattle are selling for.
Farmers who are going into the
business would do well to raise a
high class of feeding animals and feed
only what they can handle to the
most profitable advantage on their
own farms, and sell when the prices
are right.
Sell when just off grass If the price
is right and grain foods are high.
Feed well on a variety of well cured
alfalfa, clover and corn stover and a
liberal grain ration.
Raise tlie breeds best adapted for
the one special purpose and keep in
close touch with the market condi¬
tions In relation to both feed and beef.
If the cattle are to be full fed, se¬
lect the full-feed period with intelli¬
gent discrimination and precaution.
OF COURSE FARMER
SHOULD KEEP SHEEP
Profitable Method of Getting Rid
of Weeds Is to Sell Them in
Mutton at 6c a Pound.
(By C. D. LYON.)
Some men were looking over a
weedy pasture and one of them said:
“What shall 1 do with these weeds?”
Quick as a flash his neighbor said:
“Sell them in mutton at 6 cents a
pound.”
Every man knows his own business
best and can best decide what kind of
stock will pay him the greatest profit,
but on most farms there is room for
a small flock of sheep and at the end
of the season the money the wool and
Iambs will bring will be that much
profit.
Going back to the first proposition,
that of the weeds that infest our fields
it may be said that while growing
sheep entirely upon weeds, is not
a plan to be advised, they will eat
Tiearly every weed that grows upon a
farm and will put on good, solid fat
upon stuff that cattle and horses re¬
fuse.
The most tractable of all farm stock,
they can be managed with less trou¬
ble than other stock, all that is re¬
quired to restrain them being a wire
net fence of the cheapest grade.
The other day I was talking over
the sheep question with some friends
and while we did not agree as to
breeds, we were unanimously in favor
of the breed of sheep that will bring
a good heavy shipping lamb with the
fleece a secondary consideration.
This is the very season to think of
starting a flock as a great many flock-
masters sell off some ewes as soon as
shearing time is over, and unless a
man has plenty of means in these dayq
he will have to start with such ewes
as he can buy on the market, thor¬
oughbreds being almost out of the
question for the ordinary farmer.
Fresh Butter Best.
Butter is better when fresh than it
ever will be again.
rains they should not be left to be¬
come dry, but should be rubbed dry,
as chills, fevers and other ailments
often result from allowing them to dry
by the evaporation of the moisture
from their bodies.
If we would allow the teams more
rest at noon we should accomplish
more work than when they are al¬
lowed only time to swallow their food.
At evening let them be well groomed
and their legs, bellies and feet be re¬
lieved from all mud and fLR\>.

“It Isn’t strange that Bob Hilliard
should have won the heart and hand
of a girl with three millions, for Bob,
despite his years, is the handsomest

The speaker, a dramatic critic of
Chicago, smiled and continued:
"The last time Bob acted here I met
him one morning promenading. And
he was superb—top hat, stick, black
morning coat, spats fitting without a
wrinkle, and one of those cigarette
tubes that had just come out, a tube
of gold and amber, a foot long, or pos¬
sibly 18 inches.
“As wo chatted, and as he smoked

Valuable Information.
A happy couple were on their way
to Scotland. They had £o change
trains at Carlisle, and an obliging por¬
ter, while struggling with the lug¬
gage, noticed that the young lady's
hair was dotted with rice. He ap¬
proached the young man and, pulling
a folded paper from his pocket, said:
“A present for you, sir, with the
company’s compliments.”
“Indeed,” said the traveler; "what is
It?”
“A railway map, sir.”
"Oh, thank you; but what are these
marks in blue pencil?”
“That’s the beauty of it, sir; those
marks shew where the tunnels are
and their length.”—London Tit-Bits.
Too Late.
On an Atlantic City pier, gazing
sadly out over the blue water, a vet¬
eran of the Civil war talked about
the late General Sickles.
“A good man,” he said, “a brave
man, but a most theatrical one. In
the black tragedy of his youth, he was
kind to his wife, but something
marred, something vitiated his kind¬
ness—I think it was theatricalism—
and the poor young woman died two
years after he took her back.
“Once, at an army reunion, I heard
Sickles rebuke a man who was run¬
ning down wives and marriages.
Sickles said with a queer smile, a
significant smile, perhaps:
*4 i Ah, Jim, the trouble with the
average married man is that he
doesn't know what a jewel his wife is
till he comes to her In a casket.’ ”

Don’t suffer any longer with eczema
or any other skin trouble. Just apply
Hancock’s Sulphur Compound to the
parts affected and it will stop the itch¬

manently. Many sufferers from skin
troubles have written us that the Sul¬
phur Compound cured them after
everything else failed. Mrs. Evelyn
Garst, of Salem, Va., writes: “Three
years ago I had a rough place on my
cheek. It would burn and itch. I waft
fearful it might be of cancerous na¬
ture. I used different preparations,
but nothing helped it. One bottle of
