And the place is beautiful. In one!

no useless frills, 'but a world of soul-

There is good, sound score in that.
A man will put up the biggest kind
I of fight to keep anything that he loves
I and takes pride ill. There ,is no
' doubt t4ie•t ,it is the affection the
soldier; of France have for their
beautiful ',and that makes them the
splendid fighters they are in -day. The
love of beautiful things is deeply im-
planted ,in the heart of every normal
person. When the beauty has been
created 'by thir own efforts, the
thought of erasing it stimulates them
to exertions they could not other-
wise make.
I said 'this man whose words 1
have quoted h -ad been more than or-
dinarily 'successful. I do not mean in
terms of money, 'although he has a
fine little peace, well equipped, and
some cash ahead :for a rainy day.

mean when we use that word. But
none has :been a 'better father or citi-

making the neighborhood a p'l'easant

Their children are all 0 hums close
en
to the old. homestead, and they visit
back and forth to the old home they
grow up in, bging•ing a younger gen-
eration with them to make the music
of young voices about the -yell'-loved
old place.
None cf that family left the farm
to -go to the city. When they started
out for themselves they took to form-
ing -as naturally as ducks take to wa-
ter. I count that us one of the greatest
factors in this man's success, and' it
was due, beyond a doubt, to his policy
of "making the place so beautiful
that he couldn't bear to lose it."
This man rues had ill health to con-
tend with, sickness in his family,

going on which means that the evap-
oratiion is continually retarding the

Wisconsin, estimated that When a

takes away enough heat 'to lower the
temperature of Band 32 deg. F. and
clay 28 deg. F. ,That is 'wiry un-

There ore three kinds of drains.
F'irsd', the 'o'p'en drain, miliich in many
fawns us depended upen entirely to
carry off the ecleai-urge water, This
'type of drain especia'ely should he

the water is flowing freely. Too 'often
back fields are wet and 'late because
a, little impediment in tile open drain
hold bards it large 'amount of water;
then there is the covered drain, 'wh'ich
congis'ts mealier of stones covered
with brush enc- soil. This is effective
as long es it emcees open, The tided
)type of drain is fortunately coming
into general use 'and is capable 'of

Do not use a spring -tootle cultivator
on light friable sou'l'. It tends to make
the .air' spaces too large end.results in

mmtittne shortage. LM not use a
roller on heavy clay soil while the
clay is wet, It tends to pack the soil'
and undoes the benefits 'of plowing.
When me roller :is used always follow
with a light harrowing to proven(
escape of moisture. Do not use a
drag on ,heavy clay soil. There is
danger of -'breaking down clay lumps
into too fine particles, with :the result
that the clay is ptedtlled.

Frequent cleaning and a liberal use
of a good insecticide will'' aid material
ly in preventing an outbreak of mites
in the poultry house. For 'spraying
over the walls, floc- , perches, nests
and dropping 'boa,cls use the fallow-
ing solutions:
1. Three quarts of kernesrne mixer!
with one quart of either crude carp
boric acid or commercial cresol.
2. Kerosene emulsion made 'by dis-
solving half 'a paned of hard soap
in a gallon ,of water by gentle 'boiling
and then 'adding two gallons of hero -
sane; one part of this emulsion is
mixed with six parts of water.
3, Lime sulphur solution is recom-
mended for dormant spraying of fruit
trees.

quarts of raw linseed oil in a five-

if it is needed to dissolve the lye.
After these hetes very slowly add
the lyo solution to'the raw linseed' oli'1,

There has been berme our officers
and mein abroad the pr'; ,lrm of the!
upkeep of the morale of an army --
a .d it is more than ever a problem
now that Ito tt,Sties bete ceased and
the final coneununation of peace is
awaited. There must be something
always for the men to do—the active
intellect and the strong, athletic phy-
sique must find wholesome and brac-

In dee life of a family there must
be not a mere passive eequi'eseence in

and mother is at a neighbors' house,
and the. children are ata party, it

tion of strangers (vier dwell in a

to expect that the family shall act as
a unit in its amusements. But .there
ought to be something' like •music. or
reading or walking or the 'story of

stamps or the enjoyment of pictures

There should be :something that 'brings
the group together, or member, of the
group together, with the enthusiasm
of shared ('but not divided) interests,
This sort of. sharing means .)anion, not
partition.
The 'mother 'who plays with her

that maty was one of the few Duttth
music treeless who had a license for
the import of Bti'tih music.
Dutchmen were largely used as
courier, between the German agents
'n Holland end the spies in Britain.

your„ men for this purpose.
II Another aepeet of the acti- ities of
these human moles 1, as 'that of gath-
ering informatien in Holland. The
organisation behind them was marvel-
lous. Enormous prices were paid to
Dutch telegraphers for copies of En -
tette code wires passing 'between the
legations and Downing Street or the
Quay Weepy. y. So rampant did this
evil' be come that the Dutch authorities
had to cool on cacti operator 'sub- '

Threat of Exposure.
• With the direst of exposure as a
lover, great effort was made to turn

in consequence a deng'ero'tos band was
broken up. This was by no means
an isolated instance.
One characteristic of Teutoetjk me-
thods was the adoption of great pre-
cautions to get the odium in the event
of di:'covcry thrown en Britain. On
one occa1,ion an "English" yacht, men -

stranded in foe -hidden waters near the
mouth of the Scheldt. The ye-o'Itt was
seized and the crew arrested. On hoard
was found a fairly complete plan of
the Dutch mine field protecting the
mouth of the Sch erelt. The odium was
thus thrown -on Britain. Happily a
few days later the plot was discov-
ered and the pseudo Englishmen were
found to be Teutons from I•lamtb:rag,
leina'11y en instance may be given
of how the practice of spying has been
ingrained in the 'German people. A
Dutch family living at Haariem had
a (ermlan boy of It staying with
them ;in the summer of 1917. They
found that the youngster etees keeping •
