A Boys Philosophy.

One of the favorite winter games of the small boy who lives along the Hud- son is jumping laddie cakes" This sport reaches its height just as the ice in the river is breaking up, and when the great cakes go floating up and down with the tide a dozen or more young sters may be seen running from one cake to another, and sometimes making really dangerous leaps. One day Q boy, apparently about nine years old, was to be seen standing on a cake which was rocking in somewhat alarming manner, and the little fellow was cry ing in frightened sort of way. Whats the matter?" called passer-by from the shore. And then came the sobb;ng answer: "I'm afraid dlss cakcll turn over, an if get drowned me motherll lick me. "-Harper's Magazine.

THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.
His Lot as Compared with Farmers In
the Northwest.


the Ne<thwest.
Among the farmers Of the United
States the New England farmer is Pc
culiArly fortunate in his surroundings,
according to the comparisons made by q
writer in the New England Homestead,
who appears to have had experience ON
farms both east and west. He says the
New England farmers markets for
small amounts of produce are only three
to ten miles away in the factory vii
lagos, Or if he has larger amount that
cannot readily be marketed in factory
villages, he can place his produce in
either Of several cities by paying for 100
miles of cheap transportation. His west
ern brother must pay for at least 1000
miles of transportation, which often
costs more than one-half the price of his
crop after the market is reached.
The New England farmer takes some.
thing to market nearly every week in
the year, and III the produce is in g''nble
condition he can always expect some re-
turn, while his western brother has to
wait six months at time before he can
hope to realize on his main crop, and il
butter and eggs for the necessaries to
support his family in the meantime, he
Is apt to be told by the general supply
merchant that the market is overstock-
ed already" There is then no choice for
him but to go in debt for his supplies
until after the next harvest. These must
bo paid for out Of his main crop when
it comes to market At that time the
supply merchant will begin to press for
payment, and that will force him to sell
at price leaving him at the mercy of
the supply merchant for another year.
Meanwhile the New England farmer
has paid his way all summer, and if in
the fall he has any crop to sell, what
ever that brings him may be reckoned
as the profits Of the season.
When the western farmer is about to
begin going i'll debt for winter fuel and
other supplies, the New England farm
en- hetakes himself to his wood lot,
where he can out a year supply of fuel
at his leisure. II repairs are needed ON
buildings or fences, he can provide the
material at little above cost of his own
labor, Or if he needs finer lumber than
his own wood lot and the nearest saw
mill can supply he can take load Of
chestnut posts to the nearest lumber
yard and exchange for what he needs.
All this time. with his cellar well
stocked with sailed meats, fruits and
vegetables, and his poultry yards full
of fowls, ho suffers no anxiety on ac.
count of bill at the supply merchants s
While the western farmer and his fam
lily arc shiyering over a COW manure firt
in a sod shanty of two rooms, and thu
cattle are eating wheat straw and los
