RELIANCE.
Not to the swift, the race;
Not to the strong ,the fight;
Not to the righteous, perfect grace;
Not to the wise, the light.
But often faltering feet
Comes surest to the goal;
And they who walk in darkness meet
The sunrise of the soul.
A thousand times by night
The Syrian hosts have died;
A thousand times the vanquished right
Hath risen glorified.
The trutth the wise men sought
Was spoken by a child;
The alabaster box was brought
In trembling hands defiled.
E Not from my torch, the gleam,
But from the stars above;
Not from my heart life's crystal stream,
But from the depths of love.

PENNSYLVANIA BLUESTONE
BECOMES POPULAR.
In northeastern Pennsylvania, par-
ticularly in Pike, Wayne, Susquehan-
na, Bradford and Wyoming counties,
bluestone has been quarried for flags
and curbs for many years. In all
the large towns in that area, from
Sayre and Towanda to Honesdale,
Hawley and Milford, flag walks are
a noticeable feature of the streets.
Hundreds of quarries were opened
prior to 1900, many merely for the
needs of a single farm, and some em-
ploying as many as twenty-five men
at a time. Twenty-five years ago the
business was at its height. In 1904
the value of bluestone curbs produc-
ed was $149,000, flags $216,000, and

PAYS WAYS WTIH HONEY. |
Youths bent on an education, but
lacking funds, work their way
through college if the education
means enough to them. They wash
dishes, wait on table, run laundry
routes, tend furnaces, cut grass, |
and do a variety of
chores about a college town. As a
rule, this involves much time and
labor, all aside from scholastic du-
ties. Here and there a young man
fellows creates for himself some
novel form of employment which
takes a minimum of time and yields
a maximum of profit, such as locat-
ing a spring in the woods and selling
spring water under some trick brand
name. That is, he uses his wits.
But out at the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural Collge, in Amherst, there is'
a young professor in the entomology
department whose brand of thinking
in the selection of a means of work-|
ing his way through college stands:
in a class by itself. His name is
Clayton L. Farrar, and the scheme
he hit upon was raising honey bees.
He not only paid his own way in,
college, but assisted a brother to get |
an education and came out with two |
|or three thousand dollars in his pock-
et.

time he had to put into it.
Mr. Farrar now has his 48 colo- |
nies of bees scattered around the
Gould orchards at Haydenville, some :
12 or 15 miles from Amherst. How
he brought them there by truck, a |
distance of nearly 1600 miles, is a!
story in itself, for it probably sets up
a record in bee transportation in this |
or any other country. We will re-
fer to it presently.
Mr. Farrar is a native of Abilene, i
Kansas. He was brought up on a
farm and began his experience with |
bees at an early age, for it was his
job to take care of them. In this
way he obtained a good practical |
knowledge of bee behavior and learn- !
ed that with the proper care one |
could make money with them. :
Now the problem of higher edu- |
cation in large families is one large- |
ly of ways and means, and a stiff
one at that. Furthermore. there was a
brother who wanted to go to college :
Young Clayton did quite a bit |
matter, and one
of pondering on the
working around |
day, when he was
the hives, the solution came to him |
in one of those swift inspirations. |
The bees! How simple! He was!
sure he could make a go of it.
So in due season, in addition to
the usual accompaniment of suitcase |
Farrar set forth |
for college accompanying a carload
so much for public sidewalks as for
the paving of terraces and paths in
private grounds, landscape garden-
ing and floors. 2
The principal centers of the blue-
stone industry in Pennsylvania are
at Meshoppen and Nicholson in
Wyoming county, and in northern
Pike county along the Lackawaxen
and Delaware rivers.
Henry W. Carson, of Slate Run, op-
erates extenisve bluestone quarries
at the Pine Creek station of that
name, and told the editors of the
Gazette on a visit there last spring
that the shipments from his quar-
ries had increased greatly over past
years.

PUNCTUATION.
Punctuation consists in the proper
placing of points and marks in writ-
ten or printed language to represent
correctly the meaning and proper
pauses in a sentence.
1.
It is used to end a declarative sen-
tence; to mark initials and abbrevia-
tions; to set off the side-head or a
figure in the first line of a paragraph.
2. The comma indicates the smal-
lest division of a sentence.
used to set off any elements that
cause a break in a sentence without
adding any special meaning; to mark
the elements of a sentence that are
alike in form and value; to set off
clauses out of their natural order; to
separate words in ~ series; to mark
the close of the complimentary sal-
uation at the beginning of numerals
and to introduce a brief quotation.
3. The colon is used to end a
saluation at the beginning of a letter;
to introduce the final clause of a
compound sentence that summari-
zes details; to mark the beginning of
an extended quotaton; to separate
the chapter number and and verse
number in scripture reference.
4. The semi-colon is used to in-
dicate greater breaks than are mark-
ed by the comma; it is used between
clauses not connected by a conjunc-
tion in a short compound sentence;
to introduce simple and informal ex-
planations in compound sentences.
5. The exclamation point is used
to indicate a sudden or emphatic ut-
terance of feeling or surprise. It is
also used ironically in a sentence be-
ing placed in parenthesis or brackets.
6. The interrogation point is used
to indicate a question or a sentence
that expresses doubt.

TO READ AS A WATCH.
Reading the electric meter is little
more difficult than reading the time
from a watch. The difference be- |
tween a watch and an electric meter {
is that the latter has two more’
hands and that each alternate hand |
runs in the opposite direction. ‘
In the meter the dial on the right |
is the units figure, the next to the’
left the tens, the third the hundreds
and the fourth the thousands. If
the first hand is at five and the sec- |
ond hand between four and five the
reading would be forty-five. If the
first hand is at nine and the second
hand between four and five the read-
ing would be forty-nine. If the first
hand is at nine, and the second hand '
almost nine. remember your watch
analogy. If the minute hand on your
watch is at eleven and the hour hand
you would
not say it was 11:55, but 10:55. So
the reading of the meter with the
dial hands in the last-mentioned po-
sition, would not be 99, but 89.
Sometimes customers say that the
Company's meter reader has been
careless. As a matter of fact, meter
reading is a work in which practice
accuracy. A
tells him the story, just as a
glance at your watch tells you the
time. Even though an error in read-
ing might be made one month the
next month's reading rectifies it,
since the meter registration is cum-
ulative and the register hands are

And we do hear rumors that the
fur trimmed dress is in for a revival.
We are inclined to believe this, for
recently, in the atelier of a well-
known designer, we glimpsed a dress
with a detachable fur trimmed cape.
— Fur trimming used with discre-
tion lends beauty and distinction to
the garment it adorns, but when
used on a three-quarter jacket is
sometimes apt to overweight it, espe-
cially if the fluffy type of furs is em-
ployed.
Therefore, flat furs such as galyak,
both black and beige, and ermine
will be much used.
For longer coats
flounce, fluffy furs,
with a circular

ous shades to the fore, will be in
evidence.
_ Wire screens covered with
cheesecloth are excellent for pantries
and storerooms with windows near
the ground, for they keep out dust,
yet let in fresh air.
— Bluish fruit stains which do not
come out with boiling water, usual-
ly give way to alternate applications
of boiling water and a ten per cent
solution of acetic acid applied with
an eye dropper.
—_ Although corn doesn’t mean
quite as much to modern Americans
as it did to those early pioneer fath-
ers, it is still one of the most import-
ant foods. In Winter or Summer,
it occupies a distinctive position in
every pantry. So suppose today I
give you a few tested recipes and see
if you like them, too!
Let's start with Deviled Corn:
Take 2 tablespoons butter or butter
substitute, 2 tablespoons flour, 1%
cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1% tea-
spoonful mustard, paprika, 2 cups
corn pulp, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon Wor-
cestershire sauce and crumbs.
Make a sauce of the fat, flour and
seasonings, add corn, egg slightly
beaten and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour intoa baking dish, cover with
crumbs mixed with a little butter or
butter substitute and bake until
crumbs are brown.

pulp, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons flour, 2
tablespoons butter or butter substi-
tute, and salt and pepper?
Grate the corn from the cob with
a coarse greater. Beat the egg-yolkes
and whites separately and add to
the grated corn, with flour and but-
ter, or butter substitute, salt and
pepper. Drop the batter from a
spoon into hot fat and fry light
Reows: Drain on soft paper. Serve
ot. n
Corn with green peppers is ever
so good. Use 3 cups cooked corn, 1
tablespoon of green peppers, chopped
fine, 3 tablespoons butter and 4
tablespoons cream.
Remove kernels from cob with
sharp knife, put in a frying pan with
butter, cream and the chopped pep-
per. Let simmer slowly until liquid
is almost absorbed.
Corn Soup is one of the most de-
licious and highly nutritious of the
Summer soups. Use one pound of
the lower ribs of beef. one quart of
cold water, 2 sliced fresh tomatoes, 1
cup of corn, sliced from the cob; 1
tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of
four hours; then take out the corn
salt and pepper to taste.
Put the meat and water into a
soup pot and, after it has cooked a
bit, skim carefully. Then add the
tomatoes and corncobs. Simmer for
four hours; then take out the corn-
cobs, and add the corn cut fine, salt
and pepper to suit the taste, addin,
the cayenne pepper, cook 15 minutes
longer and then serve with slices of
toast.

containing an excellent recipe for

self-addressed enevlope, accompanied

FARM NOTES.
—It must be remembered that
sweet clover is a biennial and if itis
to be used for pasture, some should
be sown each year.
—Selection of seed corn in the
field from healthy, vigorous plants,
is the first step in the control of
corn ear, stalk and root rots.
—Save your seed corn for next
year at husking time this fall. A
small box on the side of the wagon
makes a good place to put the field
selected seed ears.
—Rotating the hog lots and pas-
tures so as to keep free from dis-
ease and hog parasites will help swine
growers to get the best and cheapest
growth and gains from pigs.
—Well-ripened squash or pump-
kins may be kept the greater part
of the winter if properly stored.
dry.
—Few farmers realize that nearly
every municipality has a by-law
which forbids the use of the high-
way as pasture for animals on penal-
ty of impounding, until some of their
stock is hit.
_ See that you have good viable
and disease free seed for use next
spring. Be sure that all seed is
thoroughly dried and stored in a
place where it will not get wet or be
destroyed by rats and mice.
__Sweet clover seed for spring
seeding should be secured early sO
that germination tests may be made
and the need for scarification deter-
mined. If it contains more than 50
per cent hard seed, scarification will
be profitable.
— Whenever a farmer begins ap-
plying needed limestone and growing
legumes in his regular rotation he
not only is guaranteeing a higher av-
erage yield in his succeeding grain
crops, but also is dodging in a large
measure, the bad weather jinx.
—_One of the greatest problems in
pork production is that of determin-
ing the quality of grain to be fed
during the summer to growing pigs.
The most common practice is to lim-
it the grain to the amount that will
allow for a slow rate of growth, as
it is assumed that with concentrates
high in price the cost of grains on a
full feed will not be economical.
summer, pastures are a cheaper
source of nutrients than are other
feeds. More efficient use of pasture
crops is made by hungry pigs than
limiting the allowance
of grain is logical if one of the main
considerations is to get as high a
return as possible per acre of pas-
ture.
consequently
__ Pasture may be the determining
factor in whether or not farmers
make a profit from their hogs this
season. Pasture is especially im-
portant for young pigs. Experi-
ments have shown that the average
daily profit on young pigs grazing
in forage is higher than on those
confined to pens.
Pigs on pasture need only half as
much of the muscles and bone build-
ing feeds such as tankage, skim
milk, buttermilk, and oilmeals when
they are in the dry hot” lot. Pas-
ture crops are also rich in lime and
phosphorus, the two minerals which
are most likely to be lacking in the
pig’s ration. They also furnish a
green succulent feed. Pigs on pas-
ture will get plenty of exercise and
be under sanitary conditions.
—The egg-eating habit is usually
caused by the hens getting hold of a
soft-shelled egg that happens to be
dropped on the ground somewhere in
plain sight. They get to rolling it
about, finally breaking it, and the
trouble has started. The next thing
is to get it stopped. Sometimes it
may be stopped by making a slight
break in the side of an egg, running
a part of the white and then insert-
ing a good dose of cayenne pepper,
closing the hole with adhesive tape
or court-plaster. Drop this out
among the guilty ones and see what
they do with it and how it affects
them. Another way is to heat an
egg to the boiling point, crack
' silghtly and place out for them.
| In case neither of these work, a
i plan that will be effective is to puta

{box just a few inches from the real
' bottom, tacking it around the sides,
.then cut a cross in the center of the

If beetles yellow to copper in
color and with 16 black spots on the
wing covers are eating the beans,
call them Mexican bean beetles.
Such beetles resemble the insect
commonly called “Lady Birds.” The
eggs are yellow and are laid in mas-
ses on the under side of the bean
leaves. The larvae are spiny, slug-
like creatures, yellow in color and
about one-fourth inch long. These
transform into pupae which may be
recognized by their habit of hanging
from the under sides of bean leaves.

Bean leaves are skeetonized by the
beetles; that is, the tissue is entirely
eaten except the network of veins.

or pits may be eaten in their sur-
faces. Where both beetles and

are often killed.
