A POPULAR MISTAKE.
The Idea llutt ioint 1 Men
lln\e an Eatjr Time.
"People who work with their hands,
especially farmer*, are apt to think
that professional men have an easy
time of it." said a lawyer of this city.
•It's an amusing mistake. The farmer
stops at sundown, and the laborer
works ten hours at the outside. The
average professional man works from
I' 2 to 14 hours day in and day out, all
j the year around. Often, at a pinch, he
Will work from 1»; to 20 hours for sev
eral days in succession, and he will
work when he is sick or suffering se
! vere physical pain, something the nian
; ual toiler wouldn't dream of. Of course
I he takes short intervals of rest, like
1 everybody > lse. The human engine
i isn't capable of absolutely sustained
| endeavor for over an hour at a stretch.
' "Watch a day la!« re-, aUo seems to
j be plodding along like a machine, and
you'll tind that lie really rests more
than half the time. He looks at some
well dressed doctor, lawyer, broker or
man of affairs and says to himself:
'Oh, you do soiled lazy rascal! If you
only ha>l to v.. k like me!' The truth
is that the chap he envies Is putting an
amount of cote filtration and continued
energj into his daily toil that would
| kill the man who works with his hands
alone in less than a week.
•"I don't mean this as any reflection
on the laborer, who is also uo doubt
doing his level best. I simply mean
that the demands on brain production
tire a third again as severe as the de

in the world that equals the nervous,

JESS AND THE BEAR.
Hrnln Saved (lie !Uim, but I.oat Hi*
Life Ilk the tlnrKiiln.
There is a story connected with the
last bear killed about here which fond
grandpapas often told the children
seated 011 their knees. It appears that
the celebrated "Uncle Jess" had spent
all his life as a trapper and hunter, and
never a mishap had befallen him. But
one nijrhl. in his anxiety to shake a
coon, he climbed the shell of an old
tree.
As he began shaking the neighbor
ing limb the stump to which he was
clinging gave way, and he sank feet
first into the hollow center. All efforts
to escape were impossible, and the
pious hunter had resolved to pass the
remainder of his life in prayer, when
toward night his supplications were in
terrupted. Looking tip, lie beheld the
eye of a bear looking straight down
at him.
Then the animal turned about and
backed down the inside of the stump.
Hardly knowing what to do, Uncle
.Tcss put up his hands in protection and
grasped the bear.. Now it was the
bear's turn to be frightened. He
scrambled up again, while the hunter
hung on for his life and was carried
with safety to the top.
Here the bear's real trouble began,
for with so heavy a weight it was im
possible for him to turn about and
back down, so he tried it head first,
but that was no easy matter to the
beast, and he fell with a heavy thud
to the ground below and was killed,
while Uncle .less went home and told
the truthful tale, to be handed down
to his children.—Springfield Republic

According to a lecture 011 Siam deliv
ered iveenily in London by John Mart
let t, that country has more than its
share of priests. The population of
Siaiu, lie said, amounted to about
0,000,000, and a curious feature was
the large preponderance of Chinese,
more especially in Bangkok. The Chi
nese practically controlled all the trade
and commerce of the place. There
were hardly any Siamese merchants.
One million of the people were in the
priesthood. He had traveled up river
through the main territory of Siam for
a distance of :530 miles, and during the
journey it had been absolutely impos
sible to get out of sight of a temple.
In each temple there were from 10 to
300 priests, supported entirely by the
people. Of the 1,000,W0 priests only
800,000 were actively engaged. The re

CORN HUSKIUG.
A Mioliiiiini Maii'm M«• t lioO uii .1 Wtj m
of in 1 inn: < iiriMTn."
Wo never throw two shock* together,
but leave the corn from each shock by
itself. The corn piles are never cover
ed up with fodder, but are heaped up
into nice piles, > the sun and wind
will dry them out. A short time of
sunshine and wind is sutlieient to dry
them out after a hard rain. We prefer
to put the fodder up in large shocks
anil tie them well rather than leave it
around the field to cover up corn piles
and spoil. The corn itself should not
be put in large piles and let lie on the
ground for a considerable length of
time. Mice and rats will work dirt up
through it. and if a r.-iu should come
the dirt will be made into a mud, and
the corn will go into the crib in a very
unsatisfactory condition.
There is no way so satisfactory with
me as to keep everything "sleeked up"
as fast as you go along. Don't let
more than a load or two accumulate
before drawing 111. A pretty good way
is to have the wagon right in the field,
husk in baskets and empty in the wag
on. This is a safe way and saves pick
ing up the corn. Then set your fodder
up in very large shocks and tie a
strong string around the tops. Fodder
keeps so much better in large shocks.
If the corn is sound, we don't sort, as
ve feed it all out. A crib of sorted
corn looks well, but it doesn't pay for
the bother. We must save all unneces
sary movements in our farm work.
We must cut across every corner that
we can and not slight our work. This
is one way of cheapening production
and a saving of money.
I said above that we piled our corn
up in nice piles to dry out. This is not
true now. but was a few years ago.
We now have crates and pitch the corn
into them as fast as husked. When a
shock is finished, we set one crate on
another until four or five high. The
corn soon dries out in this way. and
none is pitched on the ground. One
man can draw a large load to the crib
in a few minutes and empty a bushel
at a time into the crib.
It requires 100 crates to work well.
You can draw 50 bushels at a time,
and when you go out after a load you
can take the •"•) empty crates and dis
tribute them to the shocks, then put oil
your load and go to the crib.
A liundri >1 crates will cost you about
$8 if you make them yourself and don't
count your time. They can be made on
rainy days. \. rites a Michigan mail to

ture, and that is some sort of locking
device to hold the support in place. In
the accompanying Illustration he has
tried to show how this could be accom
plished. If the upright is brought
close to the inside of the support and a
cleat nailed 011 the projecting end of
the upper aud bottom rails, it will hold
the support firmly in place. It seems
either a cleat or pins would be abso

The 2lan V.'ho Tfo!i!n on Arrives.
A story from Secretary Wilson illus
trating the uses of adversity is told in
the Chicago Record. A tanner out
west planted.a lot of ground with sug
ar beets. They grew beautifully and
sent out a glorious foliage of dark red
leaves, with deep red veins in* them,
which he admired very much. A tor
nado came and cut them off close to
the ground. The poor farmer was dis
couraged. lie decided that he would
give up fanning and go back east.
Before they had finished packing,
however, lie noticed new, healthy
shoots coming from all the beets and
told his wife he guessed they had bet
ter wait awhile and see what hap
pened. In a few weeks the foliage
was as fresh and strong as before, so
he hoed out the weeds, with the confi
dence ot getting a good crop. When
he dug up those beets and took them
to the sugar factory that fall, they
were found to contain more saccharine
than any others that were offered, and
011 investigation at the experiment sta
tion it was decided that their superior
ity was due to the storm.
The Modern Fanner n Bnninran Man.
We have heard much of "the man
with the hoe." Now comes the other
side. A recent author devotes his at
tention to "The Modern Farmer" in
his bu: hi'. :« latTons. According To
Mr. E. F. Adams, the modern fanner
is % or should be primarily a business
man. He must know not only how to
make crop. grow, but how to produce
them so that they will sell for less than
they cost. Under the conditions of to
day he is compelled to sell for money
what he raises and to buy with money
what he consumes. With the enormous
increase in the facilities for trine por-
tation every farmer in the civilized
world is the competitor to a certain
degree of every other, even in the sale
of products consumed at his very door.
To be successful he must know more
of the bu.- 1 :: ss of the world, not only
what is being done, but also how it is
done. lie must have the best machin
ery, and to use it to the greatest ad
vantage he must have a large place.
The successful farmer will be the
broadly and thoroughly educated jne.
