"why are wages 50 much higher in

Because The Uuit=d st .t-s have a

Because the United States have q
population of only IA II the square

Berause the Uniiel States contain
over 100000 farms. that p~rHduced. in

PREPARE WINTER CLOTHING Now
Sudden changes of temperature, and cold,
penetrating winds may now be looked for,
and it is prudent to be ready to meet them
promptly. Strong, vigorous persons, in
full blood, may resist Il fall of twenty or
thirty degrees in the thermometer, but
none are sure of doing so. a change from
500 to 400 or 800, before the system is Injured
to cold, is more felt than % in December
and January. So, good warm under and
outer clothing should be at hand for in
slant use when an unexpected northerly
blast comes. A cold caught in autumn is
apt to last a long time, lift does not chance
to terminate fatally. Let the winter APP
parel be looked ove at once, mended and
remodeled and new clothing ordered.
Tailors and seamstresses, if to be employ
ed, will be over-busy, and less accommo-
dative later on than now, and fabrics are
in more variety at the stores, and cost no
more now than later.

MIXED FARMING.-The successful farm
er is the one who does not depend alto
gether on one crop. My experience in
farming is that it is best to grow a variety
of crops and raise stock as we'll, for in this
way you are afforded better chances. If
one crop fails you have something to fall
back on. l would advise every farmer to
plant some corn, oats, hay, wheat, rye and
everything that is adapted to his soil and
climate, and keep horses, cattle, sheepan
hogs, and if the market is bad for horses
or cattle you have something else to sell.
You will find sale for your horses and
cattle at some season of the year at good
figures. There is no stock that pays the
farmer as large profits for the trouble as
sheep. Al farmers ought to have a small
flock of good sheep. There are three
sources of revenue from sheep-thc lambs,
wool and mutton and generally these come
at times when the farmer is a little short
of money. So try keeping sheep. You
have a little money to buy the necessaries
of life and keep out of debt until you have
something to sell. Farmers, feed your
