One Of the most successful and ener-
getic women farmers in this country
lives at Turk Hill, in northern New
Conaut. She has made her farm pay
ever since her fathers death, many years
ago. Besides taking charge Of the farm
she also teaches school in the neighbor-
hood mile and half away. 1t rather
makes lazy city person shiver TO think
of the hour at which Miss Conaut must
hustle out in the cold every morning,
but a woman who can do so many things
would not mind little matter like that.
She has received as high as $500 in
q season from two acre aspara-
gus bed. She has made a speciality
of asparagus culture, and is very
successful with it. A considerable por-
ton of her place is devoted to the cul-
ture of fruit, such as apples. ounces,
grapes, berries and pears. She employs
a man to do the work, bat all the plan
ming and superintendent is her own.
What one woman has done others can do.
Be always exactly what you think other
people ought to be. Then there will be at
least one nearly perfect person in the
world.
Don't get it into your head that you
are not appreciated, or that you are not
loved as you deserve. It may be true,
but the most hurtful thing you can do is
to brood over this fact. Throw all such
thought away from you. engage in some
useful, helpful work, and force yourself
to be brave, bright and merry to every
body around you. Then in time you will
cease to expect people to give you the
affection that it is not in them to give.
I saw lately a woman who looked
twenty and said she was forty. She was
born and bred in poverty and had worked
hard all her life, yet she had the whitest
of teeth, a slim, pretty figure and a milk
and rose complexion, with face as
plump and smooth as that of girl Of
sixteen. 'How ON earth do you do it?'
asked "Well, / never worry" she an

not, l throw it away from me like heap
