STICK TO THE FARM.
Agriculture Pays bigger Profit Than
-.

Country StOrekeeping.
A friend OF our owned a good farm
a few years ago, about two miles from
thriving city. He aud his sons lived
on it and had a fine home and were
prospering slowly. But they got it
into their heads that they could live
easier and do better by moving 10 town
and going into Same business. And
they went, renting the farm. They
borrowed money on it, and put that
with what they had and started a gro
Gerry store. He is q man of more than
average ability. They all worked early
and late for success. List year, how
ever, was too much for them. They
had to trust out too much, and the
laboring people had so little money,
and there was so much competition
among the dealers to get that, that the
weakest had to go down. The sheriff
has sold the farm, and everything else
is gone. They have nothing. As they
are particular friends of ours, we feel
doubly sorry for them.
Now, my good friends, don't you
often think that farming is a poor
business, and wish you were out of it
and at something else? And you don t
know that the usual result would be
about as described above? You cannot
sell your farm and put your money
into any business to-day that is honor
able and Legitimate and safe that win
pay you as well. Let US look this mat
ter squarely in the face. then, and take
courage and go ahead and make the
best of our business. There is no
chance to do any better, as rule, nor
as well, all things considered, with the
capital invested. I was talking the
other day With shnewd old gentle
man, who has considerable property.
He remarked: 'T keen enough money
in farm land to support myself and
family well if everything else went TO
the dogs I risk the rest in business I"
There is nothing safer than a good
farm land. We have got enough, too,
to support us we'll. NO matter what
comes People must eat, and farmers
can always live, on the average. A
family out of debt, owning a good
farm, reasonably improved, are we'll

FILE FOR RECEIPTS
An Appropriate and Easily Made Gift
for Man Woman.

for Man or Woman.
A convenient and appropriate gift
for either man or woman can be made
very simply and will prove exceedingly
useful.
Twelve heavy envelopes, bound to-
gether and covered with a suggestive
outside case, win make a receptacle
for each months receipts. and file them
away IN such order that they may be
referred 10 at moments notice, dur
ing whole year. The best and most
durable envelopes for this purpose are
the heavy brown paper ones, or those
linen lined. used often for legal docu-
ments.
These may be just tied together with
narrow ribbon If one does not wish to
regularly bind them. but it Is much
better TO glue narrow strip OF linen
TO each envelope and sew them all light
~ together, after which the cover
should be attached. The style of this
latter should depend upon the probable
preference of the one for whom the
gift is intended. A dainty embroidered
linen cover with ribbons to tie makes
a pretty finish for the nicely-appointed
desk of "milady" who perhaps has Dres-
den fittings
In this case the cover might be en-
broidered IN Dresden design and tied
with blue ribbons, or a heavy paper
can be painted in water color in the
same way. If this file Is intended for
a business mans desk, heavy brown
linen cover. or one OF leather or channels
