stock Pays all the Time.

Inc neadlng OF TINS article, says the
Talley Farmer, was the remark of an old
farmer the other day, while dsploring the
failure Of his wheat crop. One year the
wheat fails, another year the oats fail,
another year the corn but, said he.
"Stock pays all tho time." He also re.
marked, that the farmers who early gave
their attention to stock raising, had gone
right along without set.backs and had out
stripped the grain growers.
There is no doubt much truth in the
old mans remarks. Stock is the surest
and most remunerative. But in thickly
settled regions it is better and safer to d.
vide the interest between the two The
two assist each other and improve the
farm. Waste straw and offal of the grain
crop, will 60 far to feed the stock, and it
is also we'll known will 60 far in fertilizing
the soil and improving its capacity for
productiveuess. The strength of the soil
is a greater desideratum with the farmer.
The soil is his mine of wealth-his treas>
ury-his bank Of deposit. He must keep

tation as farmer is dishonored

case bottles, put a quart of water into
one of them, put one in each pocket, and
started for the store.

"Eh, now its quarter said uncle Eb.
It's tin, said the trader, "and shan't

Uncle Eb, without much demurring,

The trader took it, and poured it into his
