Profit in Stock Growing.

A correspondent says he cannot figure
out any, profit IN stock growing, and asks
upon what we base our frequent assertion
that the best profit in farming eones from
combining stock feeding With the growing
OF crops. lt appears to us. and practice
amply bears out the theory, that there is
a three fold profit from growing crops and
feeding them upon the farm, as COMPARED
with growing and selling them direct.
There Is the profit IN the crop above cost
of production, there is profit made in the
growth of the animal and In being able to
utilize much rough and cheap food for
which there would otherwise be no pr TT
able market, even if one is not sufficient
ty skillful feeder to get direct profit from
the grain fed for faJteuing; and there is
the very direct profit i'll the enrichment of
the land by the production of manure. a
point that can not be toe highly estimated
as against the con iuual impoveri>hment
of the land when crops are grown and sold
away from the farm. The keeping of
stock is the beginning and end of profit
in diversified agriculture, and we may
add parenthetically, that the better the
stock the better the profit 1t is quite
possible that our correspondent has been
figuring for profit with scrub stock and in
that case we are not much surprised that
ne failed to find it. We have never
advocated farming for profit with that

Family Anniversaries

AS people we pay far to little attention
to birthdays and other family anivertarias'
Too much cannot be done to make nome
attractive, so that our boys and girls will
prefer it to all other places, says an ex-
change.
This has been the incest day | ever
knew" said boy to his uother one even
ing 1.-THE birds have iii been singing,
and the sun has shone every minute, and
everything has been 80 lovely, just for
your birthday, mamma, and I'm so giad!'
and he emphasized his gladness with a
hearty hug and kiss. For weeks the boy
had been looking forward to this day,
planning and making a little birthday
gift as a surprise, and when the time
came, his whole mind was given TO max
ing his mother happy.
But it SO much trouble 20 celebrate
birthdays" complain some mothers land
in large families they come 50 often.
Yes, it is some trouble, but how can We
keep our children contented and happy at
home without taking trouble? And no
mother regrets the trouble when she sees
her children regarding their home as the
very best place 10 the whole world. Try
to celebrate the birthdays one year and see
if it does not pay in the enjoyment Of
he whole family. Let no one De forgot
ten from father to baby, and try to have
each one interested in all the others,

gift. No matter how simple or trifing
it may be, the love and thoughtfulness
that GO with it will make it precious

Setting Eggs Early.

If you do it, do not be too anxions and
give the hens too many eggs in the nest
This month eight to ten are enor Oh, and
ones get chilled. They find their way to
the center of the nest and the center ones
to the outer edge, and in turn, all get
chilled, and a nest Of aided eggs is the re-
suit. Bear in mind that all white eggs,
in comparison with the dark or buff
colored eggs, are thirshel.ed. So do not
place under Zig, clumsy hen white eggs.
Nature has provided thick shells for the
Asiastics, and eggs from any of the
varieties that lay white ones should never
be placed under these heavy fowls.-

Tools for the Farmer.

No farmer will attempt to work without
tools, but in making up their outfit many
of them seem to forget that books are
tools. Not only this, but they also teach
how to use other tools to the best advant-
age, and so should have first place.
Twenty five dollars will purchase good,
practical working library, one that will in
clude standard works on soils, pasturing,
tillage, manuring, dairying, stock-rais-
ing, sheep husbandry, fruits, gardening,
and be, in fact, a complte reference
library for every department. Of the farm.
Such library, if well studied, would save
or help to earn much more than its cost
every year and would be of more value
than any other tool or implement in your
possession. If you have children these
books will help to educate and interest
them just in the lines of work that you
wish them to follow, and will frequently
be the means of intoxicating liking for
some speciality that they can take up and
pursue proGtably, without interfering at
all with the ordinary course OF the farm
work. Have a library of such tools by all
means.

A Girls Real Sweetheart,

| do believe in sweethearts, | do believe
in the right of every :. irl to have one, and
| do believe that when ne is the real
sweetheart he will soon be the one who
will be your husband, whose jog it will be
to care for you, whose happiness it will be
to see you happy. 1t is a pretty word,
that old fashioned one sweetheart It
seems to me always to suggest the great
white, sweet smelling rose that grows in
out of door gardens and which has made
it blossom, and the rain of Of disappoint-
ment has made the sun seem brighter, the
flower harder and more eager in hoping.
That is what | think a sweetheart is. He
loves you through the sunshiny days, and
he is your consolation when the darb ones
come. He is a man who in honoring you
respects all those belonging to you. And
because he is your weetheart he is going
to try and not let you make any mistakes,
and you will be "a very foolish girl if you
don't listen to his advice So m4ny of my
girls have got sweethearts that | want to

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your
love and tederness sealed up until your
friends are dead. Fill their lsves with
sweetness. Speak approving, cheering
words while their errs can hear them, and
while their hearts can be thrilled and made
happier by them; the kind things you
mean to say when they are gone, say be
fore they go. The flowers you mean to
send for their collins send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before they leave
them. If my friends have alab-ster boxes

sympathy and affection, which they intend

FARM AND HOME.
SUNLIG II Is BEYOND THE STORM
MATTE BONNER

Up the mountain side, since morning,
We had plodded all the day;
Saw the frightened chamois bounding
From our sight away, sway;
Saw the mighty rocks and boulders
Careless scattered all around,
As if dashed from giant shoulders
In passion TO the ground
Now, all obstacles surmounte6,
On the summit glad we stood,
Where glow of cleaning glory
Surged upon US like a flood.
Oh, the sInlighti Oh, the sunlight
How 1t shot in quiv ring bars,
Telling of the wall of jasper
And the city DER the stars.
Far below storm was raging,
And the clouds of blacklist hue
Rolled and tossed in mad confusion,
While the lightning glittered through;
Hidden from us all the valley
BY the moving. rnUrhy screen:
But above, where we were standing,
All was quiet and serene.
And my heart went ont in pity
To the jewellers far below
Hidden from them all the beauty
Hidden from them all the glow
And wondered if in future,
After we have doLe with life
When the mountain is assembled,
Left below the storm of strife
If we then would look in pity
On The cloud-hid souls below,
Whisper that sweet rest was DER them
Bid them bravely upward go,
Ie within the storm swept valleys,
Look beyond the dark'ning sky;
On the mountain-top is sunlight
Ye shall reach it by and by.

Rest Needed.

After all no man has more than a given
amount Of vital force. The claims of his
business, of his family, of church, take
good part of all he has. The people who
want every man to throw himself into
their pet scheme of reform must have a
little charity with over-worked human
nature. And we believe that it will be
found that one of the reasons for the diff
Guilty in getting people to attend church as
