Going to Stop.

They were canvassing the present
hard times and future prospects, and
one of them finally said:
81 tell you, sir, it is Overproduction
that has brought us to this pinch. We
produce too much and too fast"
The other agreed with him, and a
farmer-looking man across the aisle
Spoke up and said;
gents, that striks me hard, and l
believe you are right, overproduction
is the evil, and l know it. I'm the

inflammation, and gives tone and energy
to the whole system. Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup for children teething is

scription of one of the oldest female
nurses and physicians in the United

Good Implements.

"Suppose," says an exchange, "you
pay $1.OO per day for help, and good
shovel costs an equal amount, but you
retain the old one because you think it
too good to throw away, although the
man is only capable Of doing three>
fourths of a days work with it. How
much have you made in ten days by
the saving? Suppose new hoe costs
sixty cents, yet you put the same man
to work with the old one with which
he can do three fourthS of days work.
How much have you saved in ten days?
An old rusty hoe will quite frequently
cause difference of fourth of our La
Dor. There is no rule of labor or econ.
omy that pays so large per cent. on
the investment as that of taking care
Of, and keeping in order the tools we
work with. a few minutes will suffice
to clean off a hoe when we put it aside,
and instead of getting heavy with rust
and accumulated earth, it will get
brighter and brighter with constant use
and be pleasure to handle instead of
an extra burden and hindrance." This
is strong argument in favor of good
implements.

Ifyou have any vacant ground now
that is growing up in weeds, NOW
them down or pillow them under. They
make mulching, and they make good
manure, but they are very bad crop.
Do not let them grow to seed. No
matter whether the ground is to be
used soon or not, keep the weeds down
and have the soil clean when needed.
