Last Of all. the compasses are ad-

experience. and the compass adj

them assist the other, all the while
tending to a surer and safer in
vestment by a higher develop
ment Of the productive powers of
that homestead that every Ameri-
can farmer worthy of the name
loves so well.
1t does not matter to what We
turn for immediate relief from
real or apparent ills, real and last
ing help must come from Well dl-
rected efforts ON the part OF the
farmer himself. The building up
of the homestead may be the work
of years, but it is an effort worth
the making. The soil of the
homestead IS the farmers factory.
The preparation of the soil,
whether it be for cereals or roots.
should be on a basis that should
make each crop conduce to the
welfare Of the other. When the
fields are in pasture,the soil should
be in such a condition that they
will yield on that liberal basis
on which Western fields would be
expected to yield.
The question of diversity hinges
on the farmers knowledge of what
he is well qualified to cultivate
and handle to an advantage. Uni
versal geniuses are somewhat
scarce. and so are all-round farm
ers, yet there are more of them
that could make a success of a

gested would seem to aid special:
ties rather than hamper general
farming operations.
If, then. we take the whole ram

our readers to intelligently con-
slider what might be done under
the system suggested. We do not
advise Wholesale change-just
enough to make the change inter

nature that will bring in some

SINGULAR LOVE AFFAIR.

a Bisamous Couple Return to Theil
Other Halves After Five Years.
Meelzer county is the scene of very
queer love affair. William Brinty, q
man whose family had been blessed
with two pairs of twins and several
other children, about five years ago left
his family and home with the wife of
Marcus Martin. Martin, although
feeling badly over the loss of his wife,
did not lose courage, but succeeded in
tracking the runaway pair to Ohio,
where he went to see them. He did
not see Britney, for he made himself
scarce when he learned that Martin
was in town. Martin remained with his
runaway wife for two or three days, dur
ing which time Britney did not put in
an appearance. Martin then returned
home and has since been keeping bach
elor's hall on his farm in the woods.
Recently the people who are familiar
with the circumstances of the case
were very much surprised to learn that
the runaway pair had returned. Brit
ney went back to his family, taking
with him the child that was born to
Mrs. Martin during their absence, and
Mrs. Martin went back to her husban
After five years the families are
