FAITH A PRACTICAL NECESSITY. While faith In the future benefits of Investments Is a necessity In tbe rasa of manufacturer and of tbe merchant who must advertise before he will real ize an Increase In sales. It Is especially true of the stork rattier and tiller of the soil. The former must of necessity forecast the future and have faith that money Invested In high priced and val uable sire will come back to him In tbe shape of Increased prices for tbe stock be hi sble to produce, wblle tbe Istter must entertain a like faith In In creased yields when be plants or sows thoroughbred snd tested grams. The Initial cost and outlay In both In fact, all four Instances may seem large, but In tbe long view It Is not so, when subsequent gains covering a period of months or yesrs are tuken Into account Many folks make a virtual failure of life In a material way, or at least plod along on a very low level of achieve ment, simply because this matter of Initial expense or tbe first Investment looms so large In their eyes that It obscures tbe view of anything beyond. CLOVER ALONE NO PANACEA. An Important fsct that Is being giv en emphasis by Professor Cyril G. Hop kins of tbe Illinois agricultural experi ment station Is that tbe employment of clover In a crop rotation with corn and oats, while keeping up the supply of nltrogsn In tbe soil through tbe service which tba legume renders, will result In robbing tbe soil of phos phorus unless stock raising or dairying Is followed and tbe major portion of the fertilising elements In tbe grain and grasses fed returned to tbe soil In tbe shape of fertilisers. It will be well for those who have looked upon the growing of clover ss a sort of panacea to cure tbe wrongs Inflicted by a aoll robbing system of agrlrul ture to remember tbst thla la only a partial remedy and niuat be coupled with atork raising or dairying If tha cure of tbe aoll la to be complete. TOO STIFF A COMBINATION. Recently there came to our notice another caae of where an unauspectlng land aeeker ran afoul of the combina tion of "leek land agent, aided and abetted by the enticing wlilaky bottle. The average land buyer of Intelligence 04ul bsckbone has shout sll he ran at tend to to bold his own when he Is bealegrd by the persistent land agent, but when In addition to lilin the buy er's wits are tx-fiKltlled by whisky, furnished by a disinterested (?) third party, the comblnutloii la entirely too stiff, snd he might as well throw up the sponge. If there Is ever a time when a follow needs a clenr head snd all bis wits about him It Is when be Is In the company of one of these un scrupulous land agents, who have the capacity to make black seem white, went east and up down. HAS MUCH TO COMMEND IT. If tbe corn field Is properly fenced slid proer rroaa fences cau be erected the practice of Hogging down corn al ready followed by aouie hna much to commend It In hsalltlca where hog raising Is an Important Item nnd where help Ih si'srcc and priced. While It might lie termed by some s Inry man's method, it ha ticen found as a result of feeding experiment that hogs fattened under corn Held condi tions innke n much more rapid gnlu on a given amount of feed than If the sine 1 given tlieiu In the regular feed lot An added advsutiige where the number of boss fed Is lame I the fertlllter which bus been left on the ground by the time the cum Is con nmcd Those who took the pains to sow rnpe hi their cornfields early In July now have a nice supply of succulent grwen feed which will tie relished by their stock well Into the winter. Tbe sheep should not tie allowed the mu of the rape field when the plants are wet from rnln or dew. Many an old or-hnrd which has eoine Into a rundown and unprofitable condition through neglect may tie con siderably rejuvenated and out on a paying basis by breaking np t;e sod sud by a course of wvstematlc pruning aud spraying operations, with the applica tion of sufflclent fertllliers to eousllse a depleted soil condition. There Is little nucstlon thst If the person w ho is occupied In Indoor sed entary pursuits devotes on hour to vtc- onma outdoor exeniso he cau get more work out of the way In the remaining worktns hour than If he xtioiiM snemt the entire erlid In tits tasks and take no recreation. While the truth of thl statement I generally recognised. It Is i i all too niauy casts Ignored. ' um 4 ILB I mi Often a large per cent of the beat value of fuel particularly soft coal Is not realized because so much coal Is put on the Are that proper combus tion of tbe fuel and consumption of the soot and guses does not take place. Tbe addition of much smaller amounts of fuel at somewhat more frequent In tervals will tend to correct tbe diffi culty, resulting lu a maximum beat value from tbe fuel consumed. Cement floors for stables and feed sheds and where possible feed yarJs have two Important points In their favor they sre much more easily cleaned aud tbe manure which accu mulates docs not lose any considera ble pnrt of Its fertilizing value though leeching, which Is tbe case In the av erage bnrn and feed lot. The Initial expense of tbe cement Improvements referred to Is considerable, but In a period of yers Ibey would be more than paid for in the suvli.g made pos sible In the handling of tlie manures. The Judicious use of a telephone In tbe mere matter of keeping oneself posted as to the prices of stock and produce will frequently In the course of a month or less psy for the cost of the telephone service for the year. Meshles this, there Is the saving of time In the matter of sending word to nelghlHirs when extra help Is needed, while In tbe case of fire or sickness the benefit can hardly be estimated. In the larger social aspect the presence of a phone In the home does much to lessen the monotony and lonesomeness which might otherwise exist. While the benefits to be derived from tbe growing of clover are quite generally recognized, It Is worth while now and then to express this benefit In a definite form. In a recent experi ment conducted by the Michigan agri cultural station It was found that when oats were sown following mixed grases without clover the yield was thirty-six bushels per acre, while fol lowing grasses sown with clover they rave n yield of forty-six bushels. In a like experiment with barley substi tuted for onts the yields were respec tively thirty-eight and forty-nine bush els per acre. A similar experiment conducted by the Alnbsma station showed thnt following cow peas the yield of (M-tton was Incrsssed OOfl pounds per acre. Bonie of tbe orenteslous promoters of a beet surnr factory which has Istely been erected In northern lows have hid articles published to the effect that tbe rrowlng of leet eurlched rntlier than Impoverished the land. It would tn a matter for rou-.-rntulatlon If this stntement w ere only true, but the fact of the matter ts It In not. It is true that beets do not pull on the fertility of the soil quite ss heavily as do onions, wheat or onts. tills being due to the fnct thnt. like com. tltey draw their sugar content largely from the air and sunshine. Hut to assert that they en rich the so!!, as do clovers, Is entirely erroneous and In the end will be of no ail aiitace to the lieet raising Industry. A man not posted might be Induced to grow beets because of the above claim, but his own experience with them would In a very short time disprove the claim. ItcnfncKS Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they canot roach the diseased portion of the ear. There la only one way to cure deaf ness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is cuusod by an Infiummed condition of the mucous lining of the KiiHtachian Tube.

State Lecturer Lowell of New York Submits a List ef Parliamentary Qusttions and Answers Which Grangs Members Will Find Instructive. No meeting of tbe grange can be conducted correctly without aome knowledge of parliamentary rules, and as there Is, we believe, a very consld erable lack of knowledge of such rules and In order that members may be posted upon the more important parlla mentary questions that arise without baring to take tbe trouble to look them op for themselves State Lecturer Low ell of Kredonla. N. Y., hus prepared the following parliamentary questions. with their answers, which we suggest can be made un Interesting feature for an evenlng'a programme.

I Itnw and when may a question be re considered? At the meeting when the motion was passed or the next following. The mover must be one who voted on the prevailing side; requires a two-thirds vote. I. Can all questions be reconsidered? No. 10. If an appeal Is taken from the deci sion of the chair and the vote Is a tie, what is the result? Why?
