due, 60 sometime before to him,
state the case frankly and squarely
and make satisfactory arrangement
with him. You must at all haz-
ards keep your credit good, and
the way TO do this is always keep
your word when you promise
money, and do without what you
cannot pay for. In most of our
towns building and loan associa-
tons have been organized, and for
many farmers who are in debt the
taking of stock in one will be a
great help to the getting out OF
debt, or if out of debt, the laying
up Of little money.
| took ten shares of 5000 each,

ed enough to pay off my debt, and
l feel sure that l paid it both
quicker and easier than | should
have done without this and since
l have been ont of debt have car.
ried six shares, upon which l
have paid S1.50 per week, and this
with the annual dividends, has &C.
cumulated $1,000 which | have
scarcely missed. I believe in
man being liberal to his family if
he can afford 1t, but the sure way
to get out of debt is to economize
and there ale so many temptations
to spend money that it is good
plan to obligate oneself to pay
small sum weekly, and then We
would save the money which 9th.
erwise would be spent unnecessa-
rily. AS these building associa.
tons are managed you can pay in
advance at any time you have the
money to spare, and l have al
ways paid monthly in advance,
and occasionally yearly, and when
this is done interest is allowed on
the advance payment.
What | want to impress on the
young farmers who are in deot is,
that. whether you get out of debt
or not, and whether you are ten or
twenty years in doing it, depends
much on your keeping down ex-
penses than on your increasing
your income. Too often the man
in debt fails to grasp this idea, and
expends all his thought and ener-
gies in trying to increase his in.
come, and in doing this be spends
unnecessarily money enough to
have paid his debts, and they are
still as large as ever. Remember
that to enjoy your home on the
farm during your declining years,
you must be free Of debt, and so
when your economy and self deni-
al meet their reward, and you find
the last note paid, let nothing
tempt you to 60 in debt again. Do
not be tempted to speculate or to
buy more land, but give yourself
and wife more ease and privileges
than were possible while paying
for the home. God bless the
young farmers and give them
strength and wisdom, for it is in
the farm homes that the young
men and women are to be reared
who shall maintain the integrity
of our country and fill its places of
profit and usefulness.

Home and Farm.

Home and Farm.
l believe that young man has
as good a chance to run in debt for
a home and pay out now as when
started on my farm in the SOS.
Prices of farm staples 90 not aver
age as high now as then, but a
farm can be bought for less money
and while interest was 10 per
cent, then, it is now six and in
cases less. 1t is not easy for a
man to do this, but there is no
business that | know of, in which
young man who must depend on
his own labor can expect to sup
port family and win modest
competency without long strug-
gle, and I,think there is no cues
ton that a larger per cent. of farm
ers own good houses that are paid
for before they are fifty years old
than of nine in ten other call;ngs.
The farmer will find it a help to
success if he will acquire business
habits and adopt business meth
DDS.
What do | mean by this?
A business man keeps accounts
and farmer needs to DO this as
much as any other man.
He need not adopt an elaborate
system of accounts, and try to
open an account with each field
and kind of stock. for the average
farmer has not time to do this and
is not likely to make success of
it.
Any farmer who can write can
keep a cash account, and this
properly kept will enable him to
know Just what he has bought and
sold and the prices paid. 1t is
best not to depend upon memory,
but to carry small pocket men,
orandum and pencil, and put
down all money spent at the time
it is paid out and then transfer it
to your account book in the eve
ming.
Make your entries so that they
will be easily understood and will
show what prices were when these
books fall into thu hands of your
children many years hence.

A Marvellous Pond.

There is Il pond in Ottawa, Kan,
that is a mystery in that, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it contained no water
during the protracted dry weather Of
last season, it is now well supplied
with sun perch and mud catfish. 1t is
claimed that no fish have been planted
there, and it is matter of conjecture
where the present supply came from.
1t Is not at all unlikely that before
the pond went dry last season it con-
tanned fish and that they had deposited
their spawn, which remained fertile un-
til the pond was again filed with wat
er, when the fish which now inhabit it
were hatched. Both the mud cat and
the sun perch are rapid growers, which
fact would account for their being Of
medium size now,

Rev. David Utter, of Salt Lake, re-
Gently made the descent of the Colorado
River on q raft, built of driitwood,
twenty feet long, six feet wide and
well spiked together. Two boxes, with
false bottoms, containing provisions,
were nailed upon the raft. They served
as seats when the water was smooth,
and protected the provisions from the
swash. The navi9ators got into seri-
Gus trouble only once. On the first
day the raft was carried into an eddy
about 600 feet long and 800 feet wide
and very deep. At the foot Of the
eddy the current was so strong that it
required an hour of the hardest kind
of padding to get over into the stream
again.
''If either OF us had lost his footing
there and gone overheard that would
have been the end" said Mr.. Utter,
"because the suck would have carried
him down, and if he should be fortu-
nate enough to come up again there
would be nothing to take hold of.
'We were three days on the raft,
tying up at night. and made about one
half of the distance the first day. The
scenery well repaid the journey, and
the Black canyon, where the mount
Gins reach height of 5000 feet, with
sheer precipices on both sides, rising
like masonry from the river, was
grandeur itself. We encountered one

c. V. Hooper, Al Van Epps and II.
Smith returned from the Icicle range
Saturday. where they had been fishing,
rusticating and prospecting. They dis.
covered Il new lake on the apex of one
of the mountains, and listened to weird
and luxurious music of the whistling
pig, of which there are many in that
high range. This peculiar animal re.
sembles a fox more than q pig, and
weighs from % to 40 pounds. In color
it ranges from dark or iron gray to
almost white. It's whistling propensi-
ties are marvellous and many Il time
has it fooled the lonely prospector into
the belief that he was not entirely COM
panionless in the mountains. Mr.. Van
Epps declares they are musical Won
ders, and that they often give open-air
concerts of the most enhancing nature.
