We go our ways in life too much alone;
We hold ourselves too far from all our

Too often we are dead to sigh and moan;
Too often to the weak and helpless blind;
Too often, where distress and want abide,

organizing for Systematic Work.

The Christian Workers of Mount
Vernon N. Y. have orgs nized as a
Bureau OF Charities for doing practical
work among the deserving poor. The
committee of direction, temporary
body, are Mrs. j. Maher, Mrs. Joseph
S. Wood, and Mrs. S. A. Swart. The
bureau has divided the town into two
districts, two visitors being assigned
TO each, whose duty it is to visit the
needy and thoroughly investigate
each case brought to their notice.
A few generous persons have
given money for the prosecution
OF the work, but the officers hope that
there will be a large number OF sub
scribers who will give at stated inter-
walls, that the work may be done sys-
tematically. The temporary head
quarters are at the Young Men s
Christian Association building. Miss
Martha Wilson. who few months

BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.
Why Farmers should Keep Accounts a
Their BusIneas AnAlrs


While looking about for the Gauss
of agricultural depression. we should
not fail to scrutinize those things that
come more directly under individual
control II Is true we have just cause
for criticising our public officials, but
at the same time, IL we examine our
own management of individual affairs
on the farm, we may sometimes find
sources of loss that could easily be
remedied.
Among other things, the farmer
should have some systematic method
for keeping his accounts. He should
have this system so arranged as to
enable him to ascertain which crop
yields the greatest profit, or which line
of stock is more profitable for him to
raise. 1t is lamentable fact, how
ever, that n comparatively small num-
Der of farmers keep any accounts what
ever. The general excuse is that they
have not the time, or that the varied
complexities of their business render II
impossible to so systematic 1t as to
make bookkeeping practical As to
the first excuse, it will not hold
good, for many farmers waste enough
time to keep several sets of books
Besides, in many families there
are boys or girls to whom the
task would be great benefit The
second excuse has better foundation,
yet farm transactions may be so re-
corded as to be of great value. We
could not think of contending against
the low prices of the present time did
we not produce those articles which
our books show to be the most profita-
BILE For farmers who have no knowl-
edge of bookkeeping we would sug-
gest a large account book, ruled, let
tered and spaced for every department
of farm operations. Though we have
kept careful record of all transactions
for twenty years on ordinary blank
books, we have lately secured one Of
these books, as its small cost isno item,
and it viii enable us to make our
accounts more definite and require
less time.
We believe farmers should not only
keep their accounts Systematically, but
all contracts, verbal or written. should
be properly recorded, that no room may
be left for troublesome disputes. Then.
again, where everything is thus re-.
corded, the mans house is always '1n

A HOMEMADE FEED CUTTER.

four scantling, three feet long, cross
them within one foot Of the ends and
place thereon two boards, securely
fastened, to serve as n trough for
holding the clover to be cut. Next
take n stick about one and one-haH by
two inches, and three feet long, and
fasten one end at or near the bottom of
one of the legs with a bolt and at the
other end of the stick make a mortise
one and one-half by two inches long, to
admit the heel of an old scythe which
has been bent back and made fat
with half finch hole in it to admit
bolt. Have the poirt of the scythe
hammered down so that handle can
be put on it. On the inside of the
trough put two strips of thin iron about
one inch wide and as long as the boards
are wide, so that the scythe viii not cut

in which tine scythe is put should be

POULTRY PICKINGS.

CLEAN straw is good for the hens to
scratch in.
Pur turpentine in the drinking water
to prevent gapes.
SOME recommend soaking corn In
kerosene for cholera
GENERALLY on the farm there Is no
necessity for buying extra foods
GEESE eat the grass close down to
the roots and often kill 1t out In this
way.
WHEN hawks bother the chickens q
few brush piles will afford good pro-
lection.
POULTRY will readily digest bones IL
they are broken hne enough for them
to eat.
CLEANLINESS now will aid materially
In preventing the lice from getting q

HENS will lay more eggs without the
roosters than with them. but OF course
the eggs will not hatch.
THE tendency Of wheat fed whole In
to produce n healthy growth and to aid
materially in laying eggs

to compete to adv antage with incubat-
ed chickens rs regards earliness.

PROMISING OUTLOOK.

Good News for the American Farmer and
stock Raiser.
The news from London, says an ag-
ricultural exchange, in regard to
the prospects of the wheat crop being
SO very favorable to the American
wheat-grower is received. All ths other
sources Of supply to the English
market are reported as offering little
prospect of a good harvest Short
crops are anticipated everywhere ex-
cept in the United States, or the home
of the farmers. Newspapers that are
well informed on the subject say there
will be n good demand for all surplus
which the United States may have to
offer.
Before the applauding of the above
encouraging news had fairly died out
news is received from Washington that
Germany intends to withdraw the en-
barge on American pork. No event has
transpired for many years bearing with
1t greater significance than does the
opening Of 4he German port for the re-
ception Of pork from the United States.
We doubt IL those interested fully rea-
lize the magnitude of this new outlet
for American pork. IL means . big
demand at good prices for years to
come.
1t is to be regretted that our farm
ers were compelled lowing TO short
crops last year, to close out their breed
ing stock SO closely. We would advise
the securing of pair or two Of some
good breed as soon as practicable, and
who knows but that the advanced
prices of cattle, pork and grain will
prove the solution to the problem as
TO how the mortgages on our farms are
to be lifted.
There are n number of good breeds
