ground, and killing every vine he
works on. Now, in this grub the
skunk has found most toothsome and
juicy morsel, just suited to his epicur-
can palate, and he hunts the pest with
such persistence and perseverance that
it lis estimated that last season he
saved to the farmers of Otsego county
alone the product of more than one
thousand acres of vineyard which the
grubs would have destroyed. 1t is in
teresting TO see skunk hunting grubs
in hop field. He stops at the very end
hill Of row of vines, and, placing one
ear close to the ground. listens intently.
He has an ear as acute as the wood
pecker, listening for grub that is
working deep in the trunk of a tree,
and if there is one of the hop pests
gnawing at the root of the vine he hears
it. He digs it ont with his paw, de-
yours it and then listens again. He
never leaves hill until he is satisfied
that he has destroyed every grub buried
there. then he passes on to the next
hill. and thus works his way the entire
lensth of a row. coming back on the
next row, and so on until he has taken
out every grub. A dozen or so of skunSs
working in a field soon relieve it of its
grub pests
THAT is why II will not elevate you
in the estimation of the people of the
hop counties if you talk mean about
the .lSunk. for he is one of their most
useful and respected citizens. N. Y.

of laws whose operations are hostile
Rnd destructive to the former is ig-
nored, there Is sure to be disaster
Nearly all systems of stock dealing dis
regard the laws of expense as working
in interest and commissions continual
ly against the operator; the fact being
that these most important enemies of
profits never desist from work.
Here is neat system, frequently adj
vocated, based on the law that losses
should be curtailed at the outset and
profits nursed to their fullest growth.
Sell out invariably when your pur-
chase drops one point; and hold on in
event of a rise until at least five points
have been reached. Then, since the
chances of falling and rising are about
the same you will lose one dollar and
win five, which is a clear gain of four
And even if you lose three times
where you win once, you still make
money, and this is what you are trying
TO do. And you limit your losses, which
Is great advantage.
This last clause is the one good fea-
ture of the system. In other respects
it has no merits, as anyone will dis
cover who tries it. 1t depends for its
value upon the truth of supposed
fact that the chances of a rise and fall
In any given stock are about equal.
Such a superstition might be enter
tanned by an inmate of an insane re-
treat, but thinking man has no use
for IT. No matter what the stock may
be, there are at any given time an in
definite, might say infinite, number
of forces at work either to depreSS or
elevate its price; or, with greater accu-
racy, working in unequal factions
both to depress and elevate. During
certain periods one of these factions
will be stronger than the other; and,
Of course, eventually the balance Will
be shifted; but no man can say when
that event will occur.
Now on this system person buys a
hundred shares of stock at, let us say,
90. 1t drops at once to 50. He sells and
loses hundred and Twenty-Five dol

TALLY the same chances of rise or fall
that it had before. Suppose it rallies
to 90, our systematic friend has had his
loss for nothing, and there is absolute

loss except that he has adhered to his
system.
But suppose the stock falls to SIS.
Then he has the satisfaction of having
saved a hundred dollars if he buys in
again. On his system he does buy in
again. and the stock drops to 50. he

IcoPYRIcHT, le@1

All business men have natural
taste for systems. Once learned it is
easier to practice them than to be con-
stantly seeking new paths. And, if
found to be safe and profitable, the
sense of security is an additional pleas
ure 1t is like sailing over guaran-
teed smooth sea before guaranteed
good wind. The difficulty consists in
getting faultless systems, just as sail
prs experience difficulty in getting
guaranteed waves and winds.
Quite often, however, people meet
you and labor to impress upon your at
tention the aptness and benefit of GER
tain systems of operating in the stock
market, which reduce risks to a min
imum and confer large profits. Some
times such plans are advertised in the
financial announcements of the daily
papers; by which, to quote them ac-
rurately: 'sProfits are rendered GER
tain, and losses impossible" The dis
eoverers of these panaceas against pow
erty, these varieties of perpetual motion
on the upgrade of fortune, generously
offer to let you work their systems on
half profits, you, of course, furnishing
the capital. One might say: eff your
rules are SO absolutely sound, why
should you give away to the public ono
half of their advantages? People with
plums do not as rule go out into the
highways and insist on sharing with
the needy" And if the discoverer of
these golden secrets pleads want of
capital, one might remind him that it
would be more profitable to borrow at
thirty per cent. a month than to give
AWAY fifty per cent. week in profits:
or even fifty per cent. a month if the
system requires that length of time to
ripen its fruit. Whatever excuses the
ingenious artificer of systems may have
for not turning the crank himself, the
bottom reason is pretty sure to be that
which actuated the fox to advise all
other foxes, in congress assembled, to
have their tails skillfully cut of. No
matter how wise or learned men be-

there is always some good lesson to be
