Work and Worry.

Worry kills more men than work.
This is more practically demonstrated in
the business world Jhan it is anopng
those who live in the country and follow
the more quiet ways OF life There are
many men, however who have oppor-
tunities to live lives as quite and pleasant
as is possible for any one, but who short
ems their days materially by continual
worry. 1t is natural for some to nurse
their trouble, and where there is nothing
to distract the mind from whatever
direction it may take, there is great
danger OF enlarging upon imaginary
troubles. The man who is able to meet
the disappointments in this life with the
greatest strength Is the one who does
not weaken his mind by constant fret
ting over things which may never happen.
Never cross the river before you come
to it.

Always remember that one good ami
nal, of whatever kind or breed, is worth

two. Here is true economy.
Keep the farm, stock and crops inn

Be liberal in the management of house

Vic Necessity for CardIng Cows

The skin of an animal is an active eX-
cretng agent, and large quantity OF
foul matter is thus removed by it from
the blood. All this matter vii dry on
the skin, and if not removed Frequently
it will cover it and clog the numerous
pores by which the excrement escapes.
This dried matter is most easily loosened
by the card made of fine wires, and act
ing like a comb, and a stiff brush then
completes the cleansing Of the skin by
removing these loosened scales. Besides,
the skin is continually changing, scales
Of dried tissue loosening in the form of
dandrutf, while new tissue is formed
under them. 1t is in this way that in
time the whole Of the skin is renewed
All this dead and impure matter acts as a
ferment on milk, and will Cause it to
sour or take on an unpleasant odor very
quickly. Thus it is not only necessary
to keep the cows clean. but to remove
this matter from the skin before each
milking by the use of a card and brush.

smuggle anything in anywhere.
After the trunks were all passed Pop
asked a man where the baggage car was

either. He asked Pop what, and Pop
says again where's the baggage car, and
