Il Caa-t iNOrd it,

Many persons, when talking of TAX
ing a paper, say-and truthfuly as it
would appear at first thou 5ht-" The
times are hard, and we can'taff6rd it,"
Let us see about this. What makes
one man more successful than anoth>
cr, us a general rule, is, that he thinks
better he makes his mind help hi:
hands. He plans and calculates"
better. Timothy Bunker, Esq,
speaking of successful farmer, said,
"lie manures his land with brains"
DID IT PAY?-A True STORY.
Thirty-four yeas ago, two broth~
ers settled on adjoining farms, with
equal advantage as to soil, markets,
etc. One Of them subscribed for the
American Agricul,uri>t, and now and
then bought book or two about his
own business-the whole costing an
average of Sc a year. His boys read
and thought about their work, became
interested in and respected it, and
were happy in their toll, because they
: had something to think about. They
grew up intelligent, and settled as
good, prosperous farmers, respected
and influential. The other
brother (partly influenced by an eco>
nomical wife) "c24!dn't afford papers
and books" Che could afford 6 cents
day, or $50 year, for tobacco, beer,
etc. His boys worked sullenly by
day, and "skylarked' at night they
despised and hated their work, which
for them was only exercising brute
force, with little mind applied. When
old enough to escape parental re.
straint, they quit the farm, one for
this and another for that, and none of
them have ever amounted toanything.
He is himself q sullen, dispirited man.
Six dollars y6a.', or even 81 year,
would have made wonderful differ
ence-would have changed their
whole course of life. Would it have
paid ?-Reader, make Il note of this
true story, aud choose the better way.
A correspondent tells how, by keep
ing up with the times and acting up
on the information contained in his
paper, from time to time, he sold 1913
bushels of potatoes for 10 cents
more than his neighbar, who
" couldn't afford to take the paper"
and miscalculated the market. His
paper paid him s12.3O in this one
case.
Another tells how he got five cents
a bushel more for 215 bushels of oats,
or S10.75, for the same reasons given
above.
