Gods will is best. We do not
know what is or will be the best for
us. We think we do. We think if
we could only have our own will and
our own way we should be perfectly
happy. We think if we could be
rich, or honorable, or healthy, or
learned as others are, how happy we
should be. But He who sees the
beginning, who knows our present
and our future, knows best and wills
best. Sometimes it would seem as
if He permitted US to have our own
will and way for season just to
show US how much better it would
have been had we submitted cheer
fully to his will. Then the very
things which we had thought were
so desirable we find all full of thorns
or stings and often we are glad to
escape from what we had thought so
desirable. Very many of us will
also remember how We have lonoed
for certain positions and relations in
life, for the possession of certain
things, and how we have lived long
enough already to see that If the
Lord had given us our hearts desire,
it would have made us poor, or mis-
cradle, or wretched.

STAY ON THE FARM

When | see SO many young and
middle aged men, and even old men,
trying to get away from the farms
where they were born and raised,
going to the cities and large towns,
or to places on the railroad lines. or
to the great West, feel like shout
ing, "Hold on; look the matter
over and see what has become of the
hundreds who have gone from these
same old farms in the last twenty,
Thirty or fifty years. 1t may be
that after looking carefully at all
points in the case, and figuring out
the average success of those who
| have gone and those who have STAYED
you will be content to sslet well
enough Alone" and stay On the old
farm. Farming is hard work, that
is true, and so is preaching, prac-
Using law or medicine, or following
any profession. There is danger,
too, in working on the railroads and
in the great manufactures. Even
the politician has some hardships to
endure; [ dare say it is harder than
farming to run for president or gov

one altogether of elegant leisure, but
of hard physical and mental toll. All
these occupations wear our life away
and ''vex its little hours" and. on
the whole, don't pay a bit better
than farming. Had we not better,
as farmers, "endure the ills we have
than fly to those we know not of"
Having lived in the same house for
fifty years, in a farming township of
from 1000 to 1900 inhabitants, most
of whom / have known and kept
some track of, l feel free to say,
that, so far as | can see, those who
stayed at home have done better
than those who went away. They
have made more wealth, have taken
| more comfort, raised more useful
men and women, and have done more
good in society. Some few of the
many who went away have made for
tunes, but the most of them have
lost all they made and are now poor
two or three got rich by farming at
the West, but they got poor again.
A score or so of the most sensible
and level headed have kept on the
even tenor of their way, have neither
poverty nor riches, and have been
| comfortable citizens wherever they
went; but the great mass of those
who went away to do something
easier, or to get out of the poor
rough, rocky town they happened to
be born in. have made utter'failures

SMALL FLOCKS.

An idea which is fast gaining
ground with practical sheep men is
that small focks-comparatively
small ones-are the most profitable.
The popular notion, in the range
countries at'least, used to be that the
larger the flock, the greater the
profits. This idea is fast being dis
sipated, and the days of handling
sheep by the tens of thousands is
numbered. even on the plains of
Texas Certain kinds of sheep do
better than others in flocks of sever
al thousands, but it is a fact which
experience has demonstrated that
there is no kind of sheep which will
thrive as well in large flock as in
small one. In these huge bands
of sheep a vast number die, and
vast number are left, and none re-
ceive the attention which common
economy demands. 1t may pay in
| one sense to have one man attend
sheep two men could not properly
see to, but it pays in no other way;
and it must be remembered that the
item of expense involved in the wag-
es of the man who attends the flocks
is one which is either the largest or
| smallest in the business, for the
| profit or loss of the flock depends
more On him than upon the man who
furnishes the money and attends to
the financial management.
In general way it may be set
| down as a fact that to attempt econ
omy in the pay of the man or men
who look after the sheep every day,
is to turn what should be profit iuto
loss, for men of experience know
that the sheep herder who pretends
to work for the least pay is generally
the most expensive individual that
could be engaged.
| The sheep raiser of the present
time seems to think he is beset with
an unusual number of hardshirs,
and SO he has great deal to contend
with in order to make his business
success, but the hardships are sim
| ply incident to the competition and
| close figuring of the times.

plication of judicious business man.

Don't forget to smile. Even a
grin discounts long face in the
worlds eye. Smile in adversely,
dark days; when your wits ends are
warped out of all shape and your
nerves exhausted, make at least a
showing. Get the best foot in the
lead, and then-smile. That cheer
full smile will secure more aid fol
you from others than whining
voice and wry face could ever hope
for.

hce can oi.en turn out with less incnnven
tn than hs,vily loaded one, and generally
every thoughtful and considerate driver of a
light vehicle is willing to, and does give the
heavy vehicle more than half the road Oh every
proper occasion Dnt the driver OF the heavy
vehicle ought to understand that it is done out
of courtesy to himself and consideration for his
hsrses, and not because it is required by any
rule of law. The statute law of the road in
most States makes no distinction between the
lightly and the heavily loaded vehicles Both
alike are required to pass to the right of the
travelled part of the road. In case OF accident
the coart would undoubtedly take into consid
