A busy hen is not at home to callers good, or the ground’s too cold, or the sun’s too hot, or a horse goes lame, or a cow gets sick, or the hens have the roup, or the price of eggs goes down— or something else. It's merry hades to pay all the time, and no pitch hot, with a great many of us. We t so used to brooding over our mishaps and losses that we end by nourishing them into black amecocks big enough to frighten us. he result is that we—many of us, vhat is—get Into a state of perpetual misgiving. We're all the time dreading tomornow, forever looking over our shoulders to see if some new bogie isn't chasing us; growing stoop- shouldered under the weight of the snisfortunes we have had or are hav- fng or fear we're going to have. Thus we help eclipse the gayety of nations ~—to say nothing about making our- eelves wretched and everybody else wmncomfortable. It's been sort o’ stay-in-doors wreather of late with me, and I've been veading the papers, some fresh ones and some a little staler. Say, when wwe farmers of New England read about that end-of-April enowstorm and freeze-up through the west and south, £t strikes me that it's @ mighty good xime for us to stop our eniveling and sing a song of thankfulness to the good Lord for his mercy in making an exception in our favor! | read of snow and ice in Chicago snd St. Louis; of wind and sleet storms ng down the fruit trees which *vere even then in blossom; of $30,- ©00,000 damage done to fruit and veg- etables in nine states; of ice making §n Texas, and of the young cotton in Georgia being frozen in and killed. Then I go out and look at my aspara- gus bed coming up with thick, sturdy gprouts not one of which has been hurt by freesing, and my green peas ready to bush and unyelowed by frost, and my onions and spinach and lettuce mnd beets and carrots and parsnips wiready past their first cultivation, and my early potatoes g the rows. I even hear of one embitious farmer- gardener who has had sweet corn up for almost three weeks. Suppose that back-lash of old winter which struck Xhe west and south during later April ad come our way? Eh? Where hours were passing, I began to get low - spirited. Click! went my watch-case: on half-past ten, and it seemed as if I had been already a week waiting for the rain to stop and the clouds to roll away. The world began to get black and the future blue. So I vanked a shingle out of the bunch and began to tally down what I could re- member of the spring weather. I found, at last, that of the thirty- seven week days I could recall, im- mediately past, we had been able to work comfortably on thirty. Thirty thirty-sevenths of the weather had been good. Surely that was nothing to get unhappy about. Then came the thought: “Why tha other seven were good too—perhaps a deal better than those we called good. Look at this rain; the ground was get- ting dry; now it is being irrigated for me for nothing and the wetting down my crops are getting will do them ten times more good than I could do with all my tools and seeds if I had been able to get out on that corn-patch.” About that time the world began to look real rosy once more. The clouds kept on dripping, end the wind kept on sighing, and the eaves-troughs kept on gurgling. But I appreciated. all of a sudden, that the whole show was for my benefit, and that I was a lucky farmer, once more. And then, when I threw the shingle down and loocked at, my watch it was dinner time. I félt still better after dinner— I generally do, don't you?—and took the afternoon to read up some bacl: papers. get a nice little nap or two, in between, and generally idle about as lazi as if I had four hundred and eighty million dollars, and a bark to keep them in. Indeed, it often happens thatthe very thing we dread and fight against and complain about turns out, later, to have been just the best thing that could have happened. People used to think that the wor; medicine tasted and smelled the better it was; the more good it would do. We've got over that idea, but we still have to take some that isn’t as nice as candy. We en- dure the bitter for the sake of the im- proved ‘health we hope for. The sur- geon’s knife hurts but it hurts to heal, and the pain is simply an accompeani- ment of a blessing. We often fail to in the morning. Duty first and pleas- ure afterwards is her motto. A poor cow on the farm is like a poor relation that cannot be expegted to pay his way. The farmer whose cows only look clean in the spring after they have shed their hair isn't likely to have first class milk to sell The farmer who speaks gently to his animals and harshly to his wife is the filibuster I never can get any respect for. The avandoned farms of 25 years ago are forest lands now and are no longer listed as anything but wild lands. A farmer who sold a hog under con- tract at wholesale and reserved for himself the hams and shoulders, was charged the retail price, and he owed the butcher $1.85 when the transac- tion was closed. Look out how you do things. That Maine farmer who bought a farm of 35 acres for $100 ten years ago and sold $3.600 worth of fruit from it in 1910, was not a Sam Snodgrass. Gazing at the sheep industry here in New England gives mo hint that the sheep of the world have been in- creased 91,000,000 since 1871. The goats are more than likely keeping up in the race. An Illinois woman is said to have made $12,000 last year from her dairy and Sariah says we must keep more cows to get rich; but I'm of the opin- ion a herd of 60 would bankrupt us. The Missouri orchardist who sold a barrel of big red apples at $77.50, | cents apince, got fancy | a little over prices. Few farmers ever meet conditions under which a thing this can be done.

But, all the while the pistons and things are fussing and fobbing, the locomotive, as a whole, is sweeping tornado-like towards its terminal.

Editor Social Corner: The little chil- dren who are made to feel that it is a | delight to do some little thing to help mother or father get a good habit and never lose it. The,time to commence to train the minds of children right is when they are very young. This is also the time for them to acquire hab- its of industry. Habits of industry adl joy to life continuously. The humor- ing of little ones in play and idleness, in extreme selfishness, is the common- est mistake mide by parents. The little fellow who gets up early and car- ries the papers, or who works at night to help maintain the family s to be en- vied rather than pitied. You may think that he is learning to be a man too young, but the easiest bearers of the burdeng of life are those who began to work young and to whom work comes as a second nature. It is in the home where the children help that there is tasty and pleasing to the eye, it is very nice to have things arranged for con- venience and comfort—to have fuel and water convenient to the kitchen. It will save many steps and make the work more easy for the tired moth- er who has so many duties to perform. T daily task is not a task but a de- ht when it is taken up to further the of the household. question of literature in the home Is one of much importance. Mon- ey spent in good books and papers is well spent, and affords pleasure- and profit, and much valuable information is thereby gained. How much children Jove their homes, and they can make themselves useful, too, in many ways, keeping the door- vard neat, and helping about the flow- er beds, and the chickens supplied with clean drinking water, Many little things may be performed by the little folks, and gladness will be reflected on them by those helped.

Fuller and Harlan have both intimated that they will not retire except by death. They are each 77 years old. The question whether Gov. Hughes bas a promise of appointment to the chief justiceship when Justice Fuller retires is not im- portant. Such an agreement is not in character with either President Taft er Gov. Hughes. No such pledge is likely to have been made. Usually a new chief justice is appointed from outside the court. It Tequires more difficult negotiation to promote a member of the court and appoint an associate justice to succeed the man promoted than it does to create a new chief justice out of original material. —Waterbury American. & —_— The use or waste of lumber in this country is ten times as ‘Waukesha is the name now on the ©ld Pequot hotel.
