OPPORTUNITY.
Superintendent's Addrtsi Before BoyY
Farm Encampmsnt.
Pr H. O. RLS3ELU KanM
America Is but another name for op
portunlty. France hits cighVpersons to
our one por eqiiaro tulle; Europe has
nearly four to our one. The United
States has 12 per cent better lanJ than
Europe. Haven't jou Utter opportu
Dltk-s than the boys of France and Eu
rope? Our danger Is that of beconilnj;
citravaguut, of fulling to learn the les
sons of systematic saving and certain
economy bo necessary for the Euro
pean boy to loam and practice.
Opportunity Always Knocking.
It la eaij that opportunity knocks
once at the door of every man and
that the one who was out knocks ever
afterward. The first part of the state
ment is not true unless you make the
"once" read "all the time." Opportu
nity Is with you ail the time. Great
corporations are constantly looking for
men of brains and character, meu who
can do something that Is needed in the
world's work. Learn to do something
that is useful and do it well and your
fortune is made If you will keep at it
Today Is Doar'a Day.
This Is an age of dolug. Be able to
"deliver the giods" and you will be
wanted. The test is doing. Learn how
to think and you will soon know what
to think. A man Is of little value until
be can take care of himself. Learn to
take care of yourself and help others
to the same high standard.
An honorable calling is any calling
that makes a man stronger for the
world's work, anything that needs to
be done for the advancement of our
civilization. Do not all try to get luto
professions. Do not let your parents
kill themselves trying to make and
save for you. Make and save for your
selves. Near the Top.
Every one can work at wages that
wilt enable him to live and save some
thing, but the greater demand Is near
the top. The builder of a railroad
showed me three vacant chairs In bis
office and told me he would pay $2,500
per year to persons who could fill them
and do the work. They had been va
cant for three months. lie also said
that he had advertised for common
laborers and got a train load.
I watched with great interest the
building of a church in a little city.
The workmen who excavated the earth
received $1X0 per day. The stonema
sons who followed received $4 per day,
the brickmasons $0, the man who did
the frescoing $15 per day and the ar
chitect $25 per day. The man who put
on the finishing touches of beauty and
the man who carried that building in
his head before a stroke was made to
ward its erection received the highest
prices for their services.
Work Along a Line You Fit.
The man who will find a cure for
hog cholera will do the world more
good than the man who can repeat
Homer in the original. The man who
can destroy the chinch bug is worth
more than the man who can exhume a
Troy or uncover a Pompeii. Direct
your talents along lines that you fit
and add something to the sum total of
human knowledge. Give more than
you receive. It won't hurt you, but
will help instead.
Farm Irrigation.
The station has demonstrated that
Irrigation by use of a centrifugal pump
and traction engine is too costly an op
eration to be practical for the western
farmer; also that the area to be irri
gated in that manner must necessarily
be too small to Include general farm
crops, the work demanding undivided
attention Just at the busy harvest sea
son and when labor Is most expen
sive. However, for small fields of al
falfa, potatoes, fruit and garden. Irri
gation by the aid of pump or well,
with windmill or gasoline engine pow
er, can be conducted with very good
results. And it is reasonable to sup
pose that the pumping of water on to
the land In late winter, when the soil
is dry and oiened by numerous cracks
and when Inbor is plentiful and corre
spondingly cheap, will accomplish no
little benefit to subsequent summer
crops that could thrive on the stored
up moisture. The summer irrigating,
demanded when both time and labor
are most valuable, might be dispensed
with. In the primary tests of this
plan all crops responded favorably, al
falfa particularly so. Kansas Experi
ment Station.
Horseradish For Home Use.
Horseradish may be grown very easi
ly for home use as follows: It requires
a soil similar to rhubarb. Procure the
rootlets from seed or from the branch
roots of any good horseradish cut Into
lengths of three to six inches and
plant upright firmly in the soil with
the top of the cutting even with the
top of the ground. Cuttings the size
of a lead pencil are preferred. These
may be planted in a row or rows six
inches apart in row and far enough
apart to hoe or cultivate easily. Farm
ers' Garden.
For Choice Turnips.
Turnips should bo grown in drills,
like beets, for the early crop. The
young plants will stand light frosts.
Choose a rainy day for planting if
practicable. Cover the seed very light
ly. Thin the young plants to five to
seven Inches In the row. Sow every
two weeks if a constant supply is de
sired, as turnips rapidly become hard
and woody in warm summer weather.
Good Varieties.
In horticultural tests of varieties at
the New Jersey station the best yleld
ers thus far are the Palmetto aspara
gus, Eldorado and Erie blackberries.
Red Dutch and Victoria currants and
Downing and Houghton gooieberrles.

SOLICITED
INCUBATOR CHAT.
A poof Incubator is a temper tester.
It beats a baby for keeping a man up
nights. Say your prayers often If
you've bought a bargain. Some Inea
bators improve on acquaintance; oth
ers are advertised improvements that
do not Improve a man's morals. Hut
beg pardon! Of course you have se
cured a first class machine and set it
with good eggs in a well aired room
where the temperature stands at 65
degrees. Xow for a short chat.
The hot air machine warms up soon
er and fluctuates less than the warm
water Incubator. Same with brooders.
Then there's no water tank to fill, melt
when forgotten nor leak. Before you
run for the tinner put a handful of
chop In the tank to stop the leak. They
nse It in radiators. It's good plug. If
you happen to have a poor regulator
you can keep the thermometer at 103
degrees by simply increasing or lower
ing the flame, but don't forget that a
flame la a newly filled lamp will rise
of itself, so be watchful. When the
eggs warm up. remember that their
animal heat increases, and as the
chick develops there is more heat un
til the last week, especially In warm
weather, the heat from the growing
chick will some days run the Incu
bator. Running a hatcher with damper
up is oil waste. A smoking lamp is
dangerous. If not a charred wick, a
poorly fitting chimney, bad oil, dirty
burner or a chimney shoved too tight
ly Into the flue, the flue Itself may be
clogged with soot or stopped with some
obstacle. If you cannot prevent it
throw the machine out To sell a
secondhand fire hatcher is a capital
crime. Don't go crazy if the heat oc
casionally runs above 103 degrees.
About the best temperature is 102 de
grees to 103 degrees the first week, 103
degrees the remainder. When the ther
mometer hangs up it should be a de
gree higher. We have seen the heat at
115 degrees and a good hatch followed,
but to remain at that point long means
baked eggs. The hatching temperature
Is between 100 degrees and 105 degrees.
When the heat is higher than 105 de
grees, take out the eggs, cool and roll
them and adjust the flame. A good
Incubator is not a trickster, and we
never have such things to worry us.
In cooling eggs the time of turning
is sufficient for the first week, ten min
utes the second and fifteen minutes
morning and night of the third. Mark
the eggs with aa X. Turn the trays
end for end the second day. Begin
ning w ith the third day, turn the eggs
half over morning and evening until
they begin to pip, about the eighteenth
day. They will hatch too soon If you
run your machine too high or drag
along If you run a low heat Neither
is good. The latter will stick chicks
In the shell. You will forget some
times. We left a tray of eggs cool
two hours last summer, yet they hatch
ed. We left an incubator door open
till the eggs got cold while the chicks
were picking the shell. Got a good
hatch. Wonders will never cease even
if we are dumb and have good forget
ters. So don't cry if something like
that happens and throw the hatch out
You can tell by a test when the eggs
get hot if they are pretty well devel
oped. They'll wiggle in the shell.
Don't let some of these incubator In
structions scare you. The more rank
some machines are the more particu
lar and extensive the code of rules to
run them by and the more loopholes
and technicalities for escaping a re
fund when the smash comes.
Watch that thermometer. If the sil
ver thread is not solid, but keeps di
viding, throw it out An air space in
that thread may make a little speck
at the end you overlook. You may
run one point at 103 degrees, while the
little speck is the real end and roast
ing your chicks at 110.
Some sprinkle the eggs with warm
water the eighteenth day. We use the
machine with the big wet sand tray,
and It does dandy. If you have a ma
chine like ours, you don't have to rock
the Incubator cradle all night
DON'TS.
Better be late in hatching than never
get a chick.
Don't forget that a guinea is an Irre
pressible hawk alarm. Keep one and
be convinced.
Don't expect every egg to hatch a
chick and every setting to bring six
prize birds. Greedy!
Don't set heavy hens on thin shelled
eggs. Croquet balls are more suitable.
Set medium sized clucks.
Don't act the bull In the china shop
among your China geese. It will Jar
the egg production. Cochin-Chinas
know better.
Don't forget to set your best cluck
on those turkey eggs. You want some
thing bon ton to raise birds that bring
bon ton profits.
Don't Imagine that the earliest pul
lets are the best winter layers. Solo
mon says, "There Is a time for every
thing under the sun." That means pul
lets. Leghorns hatched before April
molt before December and don't lay
winter eggs at all.

Willing to Qualify.
A few days ago a recruit was taken
to be sworu in by the magistrate. Ev
erything was going ou swimmingly
till the magistrate asked the man the
following question: "Have yon ever
been in prison?"
At this the man looked startled: but.
quickly recovering himself, he blurted
out. "No, sir. I have never been In Jail,
but I don t mind doing a few davs if
you think it necessary." Ixmdon Mall.

up courage and said:
Mr. Green. 1 shall have to raise your

Mr. Green looked up with a start.

To Lambaste.
"Lambaste" Is a sinewy, heroic word.
We prefer It to Its variant "lambust."
And It Is u word of respectable age.
"Stand ofT awhile and see how I'll lam
baste him" was written In 1G37. It
come from tl.2 word "lam," to beat
soundly, and "baste," which means the
fame thing. The tautology Is here only
Intensive. Hut the word should al
ways be spelled with a final "e." Lon
