pay to invest 81, so in the AgrtcuHurist

proper time, and the result was, had leo bar

My son, William, got kink in his head about
Tomatoes, from something the Editors said, and
sent for some seed. He made moro money on

cleared by half the farmers in this town.
Smith.-Let's hear from Mr.. Crane.
CrGne.-I only read in the paper what was
said about hogs-whst kind paid best, how to

household department ia worth more than all the
fashion magazines in the world. They say, it
is so full of good hints about all kinds of houee

bread and cake; and Wife says, the cake don't
cost so much as it used to. She has learned
from the paper how hundred other house
keepers do their work
COrey.-Let me say, also, that Mrs. Crane
and her daughters have added good many
beautiful but cheap homemade fixtures to theil
parlor and sitting rooms, which certainly make
their home more attractive. They told me. the
