SELF-CONTHOL
tm cont j ut*ra b 1
The ruling forces of the universe
have taken hold of us, while other
and lower forces are losing ground.
nnHE simple process of practicing
^* self-control Is ns beneficial aa It Is
astonishing. ^In a little while those of giiouijcrg nnd we are buoyant, happy,
ns whir succeed In obtalylng-fhastery
of our emotions, our glib tongue, our
strutting pride and our Indolence,- find
ourselves in a new.world.
We wonder at the agreeableness of
our friends, the loveliness of the ten
der Wosspms, and the thousands df
beautiful things all about us which
heretofore we have passed without no
tice. •—/
At last we have succeeded In pull
ing an old mask from our fade anci we
are able to smile. We have in some
ways found a grain of faith—faith In
ourselves and In our intimates.
We are changed and the whole world
is changed with us.
We soai^uin the wings of the dove.
We have risen high above the bogs
and quagmires.
We have cbme from a state between
sleep and waking. Our vision la clear.
Our mind la alert, appreciative, con
siderate and kindly disposed,
thoughts fly straight to the
never diverted by Ill-humor or a vio
lent rush of hot blood. -
In some Indescribable manner a bur
den has slipped from-, our galled
Affection, sentiment and reiiipassion
have become parts of our disposition.
The control of Impulse has gro^rn
perfect through the supremacy of our
higher motives.
We are enslaved no more by the
harpies of passion. The simple opera
tion of self-control, the careful and
continuous exertion of will-power has
set us free. — . . - - - -
Whefe formerly we moved about
with dour faces we now go with beam
ing smiles; where In other days we
were met with rebuffs we are given
cheery receptions nnd encouragement.
The strong, sunny parts of nature
which we have by supreme effort de
veloped are ours, and we are keeping
step with the victors, sure of victory
Our | for ourselves in the faltU that lllumln-
tnark, B tes our way.
generally called by
Christian natpc* or surnames
only, the afroril "Mister” was ap
plied aa u sort of title to those
who had learned ft trade or “mys
tery”—persons who were looked
upon as being of a higher rank,
than couynon laborers or farm-
hahds. As time passed, the ne
cessity for the male equivalent
of “mistress” was more and tnore
recognized—at first by the use
of the word “master." and later,'
« by the growing popularity of
“Mister.” • , >
Then, by one of those strange
quirks which frequently occur
in the growths of languages,
“Mister” caused “Allstress” to
/ be' corrupted or elided Into
“Missis” and finally’, the two of
them were short^hOd to. tne rec-
ognlzed abBrevlations “Mr.” and
“Mrs.” Incidentally, the* femi
nine form of “Mister” Is one of
the curiosities of the English
language, since, as Walker says,
“to pronounce It as it Is wfliten
In full—‘Mistress’—or even as It
has been contracted into ‘Missis’
appears quaint and pedantic.
One has to slur it and Inject a
‘z’ sound.”

CuJIs Should Be Disposed

A poulfryman must think about
many things If he wlahea«to get hit
pullets in condition for a good total
year’s lay.
Find, the pulleta should be handled
and leaded Into four classes—good,
medium, poor >and culls. The culls
and poor birds should be , sold for
meat purposes. A pullet five months
olIC weighing less than three pounds,
loose feathered and weak, is consid
ered poof or a cull.
The next step is to grade and house
the good and medium classes accord
ing to size and maturity^ rather than
age. This will prevent a molt and
will make feeding more efficient.
Every bird should be treated with a
ood lice Wler.—A. thorough cleaning

Owners of Grade Herds
Becoming Dissatisfied
It Is very gratifying to lu><>w that
owe.era of gmyte dairy herda are be
coming dlasatlafled with the use of
Just urdinary service bulla. Not only
arv tbey getting rid of s<rub sires, but
they are insisting that the herd bull
must come from a dam with a good
record. This Is sound business Judg
ment, for the use of a good bull, even
In a grade dairy, means a sure future
increase In herd production and will
pay for the added cost of a good reg-»
istered sire many times over. Bulls
coming from a line of proven ancestors
should he able to Increase tl* future
production of any grade herdi Farm
ers generally realize thls~fact and are
going In stronger every year for herd
sires whffch are hacked with records as
well as pedigrees. ,

To Prevent Tuberculosis
Clean Up All Grade Cows
‘There Is s tendency among dairy
men," says 0. S. Rhode, dairy exten
sion, University of Illinois, "and espe
cially among the members of cow test
ing associations, to get started with
pure breds. This is a good practice
and the good dairymen should be en
couraged to do so. However, before
the dairymen Invest In pure breds, tt
is wise to clean up the grade herds
that the pure breds are going Into.
It will be much easier to send a few
grade cows to the butcher now than to
send the good pure breds later on. If
you clean up now^ and demand clean
animals when/fou buy, your losses
from tuberculosis will be reduced tA
the irilnlimim."
