If any one thinks that the 1'ulted
States has a inonoisily of all the en
ergy and enterprise he should revise
his opinions forthwith. The whole
world Is wide-awake, and every pi-o-ple
is alert for opportunities for ad
vancement. There are the Itussians,
for instance, whom we have Is-en ac
customed to regard as soou-what slow
and liehlnd the times. They have re
cently secured the services of Horace
!. flurt, formerly president of the
I'nlou I'acjfie Railroad Company, to
assist them lit making the Siberian
railroad as efficient as the transconti
nental roads in the I'nited States,
where the problems of carrying trains
across wide plains ami over snow
capped mountains have been solved.
Then there are the Spaniards, who are
planning for closer trade relations w ith
the Spa nlsh-speii king peoples of South
America. And the Germans are seek
ing outlets for their surplus popula
tion in countries which will buy the
products of the German factories. The
Iiritish are considering plans for a
commercial federation of their colonics
for the development of their resources
and the preservation of the trade of
the mother country. The French are
developing their jkirscssIoiis in North
ern Africa and undertaking the re
clamation of the Sahara, as well as
pushing their railroads across the Py
renees Into Northern Spain. And all
these people are studying the Ameri
cans, that they may avoid our mis
takes and profit by our successes.
Within a few weeks the rejwirts of
two Independent British commissions
to this country have been made pub
lic. An official of the railway depart
ment of India, after a tour of the
United States. Teports that "the one
Idea In the minds of the American rail
way men is to 'get there. " He thinks
that this Is the secret of American
railway fuccess. One of the member
of a private commission to study the
relation of the schools to American
commercial success says that "The
schools have not made the people what
they are, but the people, being what
they are, have made the schools." The
"American peril," of which we hear
much, is that the Americans shall
grow complacent and satisfied with
themselves, instead of keeping their
place in the company of the other
wide-awake peoples.
THE HEART'S TARE.
She was a little, bright-eyed Scotch
woman, old, crippled and poor. So
long as she could work she had stixxl
at her wash-tub, her dauntless face set
against the foes that she knew were
closing about her. She hud to give up
at last disease was too much for her;
so followed the unspeakable bitterness
of help from the parish.
But when she surrendered her bodj;
her soul did not yield. A tiny two
roomed thatched cottage and a
year were her all, but the poor pittance
nourished and sheltered the same sun
shiny spirit No, that was not all.
Years before a lad from the village had
gone across the sea. He was no rela

whose heritage were all the needy and
sorrowful within their ken, and over in
the new country he did not forget
Every Christmas $3 went from Amer

land enough to pay for her winter's
coal and give her a bit of meat dally
for three months.
One day the young Scotchman re
turned, bringing his bride vith hhn.
The tiny old woman, slowly hobbling
to meet her callers, beamed upon them
with a radiant face. She welcomed the
young man with exclamations of de
lighted admiration. She would not con
sider herself worth a question.
"Hoo am I? Oh, brawly, thank ye
The legs? Ah, weel, they're no thai

Then her bright old eyes turned to
tbe bride.
"Ye'll be a maist fortunate woe to

declared. "They are a' alike a' guld

"Mair the luve than the money thai

Soda for Potatoes.
In growing tomatoes nitrogen in the

ixsls and the Is-st results will come
from phosphoric add and potash lll-r-
illy applied broadcast. Much has Im-cii
u ritten regarding the use of nitrate of
usla for tomato growing and while
bis chemical is good, it should tie
isod with caution. Its function is to
a use the plant to make n quick
rrottth: in other words give It a
tart which will bp kept up by the
phosphoric acid and tlio potash.
This lieing the case the best way to
ise It is to watch the plants closely
is they grow and if any shows luck
f vigor sprinkle a tenspoonful of the
titrate of soda about the plant. l"s
anlly one application will be sufficient
to start such plants off in good shape
ind once they get a good start there
will be no trouble If the soil has been
properly enriched and proper cultiva

Care of Horses Necks.
Nine out of every ten farm hore
suffer from abrasion of the skin on
the neck during the spring work and
this is so severe in many cases as to
keep the horse from doing a full day
work. Try this plan of treating the
farm horse during the season of hard
work. After feling the horse brush
oft or. Iwtter still. wie it off with
a large cloth. Then, with tepid water,
sponge the head, neck and shoulder
and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
If the shoulders show indications of
sorenoss rub over them a little vase
line and let it remain over night. Se.i
that the collar worn fits w ell and aftc.t
taking it off wipe it thoroughly with
a damp cloth and hang It where it
will lie thoroughly dry in the morn
ing. It will pay well to take this littl
additional care of the horse during

Farm Notes.
Keep all young animals growing and
gaining.
Avoid working horses in the rain ai
much as possible.
(Ground feed is better than whol(
grain for growing colts.
Sweet food for hogs Is bettor than
that which Is fermented and soured
AH rubbish and prunSngs from thi
garden and orchard should be burned
A falling appetite Is generally thi
first Indication of an animal being
out of condition.
Coal ashes, as well as wood ashos.
should be saved and applied on wet
