Analysis of an Anarchist.

A chemist says that if man weighing
154 pounds were passed through labor
atory and divided and subdiyided into his
ultimate elements. five of these would be
gases and eight solid substances. This
might be the result in majority Of cases,
but in the case of the windy Anarchist seven
of the elements would be beer, six gas and
none solid.

The Farmers Watchword

"Weet out" is an excellent watch
word in the abstract for every body.
The farmer can readily appreciate its
significance, because his happiness,
health and prosperity all depend large
ly upon the vigor and persistency with
which the wedding out process is car
r;ed on. He must be constantly at il
in order to make his business paw. In
herd and flock the scrubs and runts
must be wecded out, and so the same
process goes ON in every department. OF
farm work. Taking the term in its
broadest construction, it is without
doubt well worthy to become the
watchword of every farmer who de-
s'res to reach the highest excellence AS
an agriculturist. and to, reap the
richest rewards for labor bestowed =
