Some years ago the world was treat
led to stories, which tested the creduli-
ty Of readers, respecting the Brobdig-
snagian farms Of great land proprietors
in the far west. Farms proportional
rather to the more liberal dimensions
of Saturn or Jupiter than to the
cramped bounds of this tiny planet
were reported where the eye was
wearied with gazing on crops by the
square mile, cultivated by steam
ploWs driven in plat oons. All this
was magni6c cent. but it was not farm.
I Ing. tlesst, according to Theodore
Roosevelt, who had been stud ying up
that subject the big farms do NOT
pay. He says that il nearly every
case where the experiment has been
tried the result has been the collapse
4of the wealthy capitalist Or corpora.

not compete with the many small
ones, side BY side with, IL each of which
is carefully and economically titled BY
It's frugal owner And IL IS fortunate
that such has proved toSbe the case

At q recent meeting at Bradford,
Eng, one Of the speakers, Mr.. I. Hold.
en-, referring to the position of trade,
gave as his Judgment that the price of
wool was rapidly approxinating to
that Of cotton, a matter which could
not fail to exert q great influence on
the course Of trade. The production
was rapidly increasing, and one val
ley alone had capabilities in that di-
reetion which might meet the require
ments Of the world. In La Plata FIVE
years ago there were 6O,O0O,OoO Of
sheep; now there were 90. 600, 900, and
there was still room for an indefinite
increase: The difficulties Of treating
the wool had been overcome, and he
Indicated how it might Lake the place
of many fabrics, such as sateen, in
which cotton was now used. &

What Two Ladies Said--ALesson
4 s,s sS; For Young Men. y n


Three months ago a young man Of:
twenty-five and his m other landed in
Detroit from an Eastern State with
less than $40 in money. He had
been promised work, but reached there
to be disapp ointed. The household
goods were there. and the couple
hadn't enough money to go away on
1t was therefore decided to rent rooms
and remain and search forwork. The
young man made every effort, but
was unsuccessful. His money was
nearly gone, and house-rent was com.
ing due again, when; one evening as he
passed up Grand River avenue he
heard one lady soy to ano ther, as
they stood in 'front.' OF a bakery:
s''Dear ME! but wish Icould get hold
of some ol d-fashioned doughnuts, such
us mother used to max e. g 8
We said that every day for the past
ten years., replied the other. e'5SS't:5s

and made p note ofstreet and number.
He then laid out all his money in -four

and said to his mot her: "a +.

There is a lesson in this for the hun.
adreds OF young men; who roam about
q city declaring that there is nothing
to do, and no way open for them to
make a living. They may not all turn

there are other fields to be worked,
