The food then partaken of with thankful ness would now be looked upon as prl6on fare. At breakfast, which was served at sunrise In summer and at daybreak In winter, there were doled out to each student a small can of un settled coffee, a size of biscuit, and a size of butter, weighiag generally about an ounce. Dinner was the sta pis meal, and at this each student was regaled with a pound of meat, Two days in the week, Monday and Thursday, the meat was boiled, and la college language, these were known as boiling days. On the remaining days the meat was roasted, and to them the nickname of roasting days was fastened. With the flesh went al ways two potatoes. When boiling days came round, pudding and cab bage, wild peas and dandelions were added. The only delicacy to which no stint "was applied was the cider, a beverage then fast supplanting the small beer of the colonial days. This was brought to the mess in pewtor cans which were passed from mouth to mouth, and, when emptied, were again replenished. For supper there was a bowl of milk and a size of bread The hungry Oliver who wished for mora was forced to order, or, as tne phrase went, "seize it," from the kitchen.

As I myself look at it, there Is no fault nor folly of my life and both have been many and great that does not rise up against me, and take vway my joy, and shorten my power of possession of sight, of understand ing. And every past effort of my life, very gleam of righteousness or good In It, Is with me now, to help me In my grasp of this art and Its vision. Bo far as I can rejoice In or Interpret either, my power Is owed to what of right there Is In me. I dare to say It, that, because through all my life I have desired good and not evil; because I have been kind to many; have wished to be kind to all; have willfully Injured none, and because I have loved much, and' not selfishly; therefore, the morn ing light Is yet visible1 to me on those hills, and you who read may trust my thought and word In such work as I have to do for you, and you will be glad afterward that you have trusted them.

Craftsman. Winter Months on the Farm How to Improve Them How to Care for Manures Methodi of Handling, Storing and Applying, to Coiuerve Fertility and Get Most Profitable Returns By PROF. E. B. HART Wisconsin College of Agrlcultur tea DUTY TO OLD FOLKS Copyright, igio, by Western Newspaper Union The waste of fertilizers through the careless management of farm manures throughout the United States is enor mous. The estimated value of ma nure produced In the entire country from all classes of live stock is 12, 225,700,C30. At least one-third of this is totally lost, which means that a value of $750,000,000 annually drains away from the manure heaps, passes In ammonia vapor Into the air, or is otherwise lost beyond recovery. All of this may be prevented by observ ing some simple principles In the care of stable manure, which will prevent these losses by heating and leach ing. The methods of handling manure have improved to a great extent dur- loss. When applied to the fields ma nure should be spread uniformly over the land and not In small heaps, as the latter method is wasteful of fer tilizer materials. It also Involves more labor to spread these piles later in the season, and the pile of manure can never be so effectively distrib uted as when freshly hauled. The rate of appUcatton of manures is frequently too heavy. It is much better to apply a light application fre quently and to put the manure on thickly once in several years. Over eight to ten tons should never be used for In such cases a large amount of the fertilizer is lost and is not saved up for future crops. Greater yields will be secured from a given DEFERENCE FROM THE CHIL DREN IS THEIR DUE. Those Who Have for Lifetime Beet?

Over $750,0OC,OCO worth of fertility annually drains away from the ma nure piles behind the barns of American farmers. This loss could easily be prevented by good care. tion o'f Improved machinery, such as manure carriers and spreaders, which make It possible to handle manures with less labor. The improvement of anitary conditions, especially on dairy farms, which require the frequent cleaning of stables and the use of con siderable amount of litter has also improved the methods of handling manure. The greatest waste occurs, however, In piling manure carelessly, allowing It to heat, and thus lose the nitrogen by leaching out rains and drainage waters. Our streams and rivers are rich with leached fertilizers. This is Impossible to recover. Another great waste, particularly In the United States, Is in liquid manures, for which, In many cases, no method of preserv ing is practiced. In European coun tries liquid manures are very care fully saved and taken to the fields, be ing stored in cisterns or absorbed with good absorbent litters. Best Absorbent to Use. The principal value of an absorbent or litter in a stable is to retain liquids and thus keep the animal and the able clean. A sufficient amount of finely cut litter should be used to entire ly absorb the liquids and not pack down In a wet soggy condition. A tight gutter with plenty of litter will solve the problem of saving liquid manures without the need of a cistern or drainage pipes, which are difficult to keep clean.

Hen- Trie manure pile should have a ollow top which will hold moisture nd keep the pile wet. It Is a good absorbent. Shredded corn stalks are very effective, which is another argument in favor of the use of silage, particularly In dairy cattle. A quantity of the heavy stalks Is usu ally not eaten by the animals and makes the very best bedding. Shav ings are quite frequently used and ere a good absorbent. Farmers some times complain of the bad effects of manures containing shavings upon some crops, and to prevent Injury of this character, it Is best to thorough ly rot the manures containing shav ings. Tight floors are essential to save liquids, but most Important Is to use plenty of bedding. Haul Manure Dally. The regular spreading of farm ma nures in the fields daily saves the greatest amount of fertilizers, as there is practically no loss from leach ing. Manure should not be spread upon frozen ground unless It Is level, or upon hilly land where washing rains are likely to carry It away. On a flat level field manure may be irjrea on snow no danger of it moderately to a large area than h It is applied thicker on a small area. Loss from drainage Is very heavy where the application Is excessive. Storing Manure In Piles. Contrary to the belief of many farm ers, It is an easy matter to pile ma nure In the open In a way that will allow no loss of fertilizing elements. The trick of this consists in making a square or rectangular pile with per pendicular sides and the top sloping toward the center so that the manure will always be kept moist. Only dry manure heats and loses ammonia, moisture counteracting this loss. The, pile should be made deep enough, so that the heaviest rains or snows will not wet clear through to the bottom and cause leaching. This Is not difficult since a pile three or four feet deep will absorb even the heaviest rains. Such piles may be placed upon a tight board floor or a piece of puddled clay or even ordi nary soil without danger of loss. The essential factor is to keep the top of the pile hollow so that moisture runs into the manure. Instead of off of it, as occurs in the ordinary cone-shaped pile, which we so frequently 3ee be hind the barn Storage of Manure In Sheds. A combined manure storage shea and shelter for stock may be used to advantage on many farms. Where the manure is so stored It must be kept moist, since drying out will re sult In fire fanglng. A tight floor in such a shed Is unnecessary, pro viding moisture Is not excessive, and sufficient Utter being used In the stable. Where manure is stored In the stable and becomes dry, It should be thoroughly wet down to prevent fur ther loss of ammonia. There is no damage to the manure from animals walking over it, providing It la kept sufficiently moist. Supplementing farm manures with other fertilizers by mixing them in the stable Is very generally practiced with good results. One pound of rock phosphate or floats per day for each animal, sprinkled on the manure In the stable will generally provide suffi cient phosphate fertilizer to make the manure Ideal for most crops. Other absorbents, such as gypsum or land plasters, are quite generally used. since they aid somewhat In absdrbing liquids. Avoid Ashes With Manure. Farmers need to be cautioned geu erally against the use of wood ashes and lime with manure. The ashes and lime produce an alkaline condi tion, resulting In the loss of the am monia which carries off the nitrogen. This point has not been sufficiently emphasized, and many well meaning farmers have used ashes and lime with manure to disadvantage. The lime and ashes. If needed by the soil, should be put on In other years than those In which farm manure is ap plied. On light soils, where coarse manure la likely to make the soil still light er, rotted manure should be used. Ma nure may be rotted under sheds by keeping It always moist If a feed cut ter Is available. It should be used to cut the litter, as the manure may be handled easier and Its absorbing pow er will be Increased. There should not be any unhappy oia people. Age should bring its com pensations of serenity and philosophy As a matter of fact, however, the av erage old man or womun is far from content. The problem which confronts sons and daughters in caring for their par ents is a grave one. Old age is sen sitive, and the feeling of uselessness tills many an active soul with rest lessness and discontent. Perhaps the greatest mistake that Is made by young people is that, in their eagerness to relieve father and mother or grandfather or grandmoth er of burdens, they take away every- tiling that makes life interesting. Those who have, for a lifetime, been eager workers do not want to sit with their hands folded, and so it often hap pens that father "butts Into" hia son's business affairs, r:ia r.-.other "med dles" with her i-a j'ier'i, housekeep ing. Then con,ij . i .ci oti, nd the son or the daughter Lav.tg shown plainly that they desire no interference, cn uot understand that their rebuffs have seared the souls ot the anxious, ac tive old people. It is always well, if possible, to provide something for the aged to do. If they can be made -to feel that they are helping, their satisfaction will be supreme. If father has been a wise financier, It surely cannot hurt his son to talk over the affairs of the oiuic ur ouice. ir motner nas been a practical housekeeper, her daughter need not be too "snippy" to take ad vice. One dear lady's daughter insisted that she should sit with folded hands Then when the old face took on un fca; -j :-y, haggard lines, and the frail lit tle body drooped, the anxious daugh ter asked the doctor, "What's the mat ter with her?" He was a bluff old person and he thundtred, "Give her something to do sne s pining for action." "But the maids don't like to have anyone around the kitchen," the daughter said. 'Then let her go there when the maids are out," the doctor sueeested So on Thursday afternoons the dear little lady cooked the dinners. The whole family learned to look forward to them. And the satisfaction that mother got out of that one day in the week lasted her through the other six She made chicken pies, and sh V. 1 1 1 , imneu, ueans, sue concocted sauces and soups and gravies after old-fash loned recipes, and when they were served she beamed across the table as if to say: "Should I be put on the shelf when I can cook like this?" The duty of children toward their grandparents often forms a great problem, but I believe that If there is any question of preference It is the grandparents who should have first consideration. No child can be hurt by being made to have an attitude of deference toward the aged. Often. If old people are eccentric, the children's sympathies will be at once aroused If we tell them "grandfather has borne so many weary burdens" or "grand mother has had sorrows." On the oth er hand, to say, "Never mind, grand father is peculiar," or "grandmother is fussy," will foster a contempt which will be evidenced by the child's manner. To those of us who grow impatient with the faults of old age there will come a day of reckoning. Some day all of us will be old. Do we wish our children to treat us as we are treating our parents? Would we be happy un der the circumstances with which we have Burrourtded our aged father and mother? IF?

Much has been written about the reed and avarice of theatrical man agers and producers, but the accusa tions are often disproved. The pro ducers are out to get all the money they can, but they are frequently iwayed by other motives. One of the best-known managers in New York put on a play last year, and It was k success; such a flattering success that Its author was much elated, not to say puffed up. But he nursed as grievances some of the changes the manager had made In the play. "Mr. Blank," he said one morning to the producer, "you would be the greatest producer in the world If you would only stay out of the theater while re hearsals are going on. You are fine on putting up the money, but that's all." The manager touched a button on his desk, and said to the messen ger. "Tell my booking agent to stop ill performances of this fellow's play. I'm going to take It off." Deer Killed by Train. The New Haven railroad passenger train for New York city ran Into a herd of Ave deer near Flutevllle, Conn. The train was running down grade and as It rounded a curve the engineer saw the animals on the track a few rods ahead.

The train was stopped and the dead deer were lifted aboard. Every trainman had venison for sup per that nigl His Money's Worth.
