events the more we realize how utterly
impossible 1t is to scratch every on the
spot where it itches the most"
You can always judge town by its
newspapers, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Never buy town lots where a
half starved newspaper is published
Newspapers these days are necessity.
not luxury. They are 80 cheap that
the poorest man can have them-unless
he is running bill at saloon. 1t mat

and sugar, but ruined by vinegar and
pepper. Even when properly cooked

Western Agriculturist: To keep the
boys on the farm, interest them in some
inc stock; give them an interest in the
oure-bred stock, and let them become in
crested in keeping the breeding and
'edigrees of the stock and owning part
II it. Treat the boys as if they were

ely upon their own judgement, and CO.
'perate with them in the breeding and

nd pride. and together father and son
