the country pays more for his supply of apples, take the year through, than he who lives in the city.
 The Patron of Husbandry must learn to control the prices and the distribution of his own products; and he must also learn to take advantage of the market in supplying his own wants. Why should a hundred farmers in the same commu- nifty, acting singly, sell the products of their labor, at the lowest wholesale prices to dealers, and then take the mon- ey and pay the highest retail price for the goods they must have for it? Why should 100 farmers in the same communi- ty, who are sure to want 500 tons of coal each season, purchase 1t each on his own account at the highest retail price, and then pay for it by selling potatoes at the lowest wholesale price in the mar ket?
 As our Grange Homes recently put it :: 1.-The farmer who wants to get there' must not only prepare himself for his work but he must make a continued study of it. Conditions are changing so fast that methods which were in vogue 10 years ago are obsolete to-day and the farmer must be thorough student of the day and hour to keep in the front rank. To this end books, papers. the grange and farmers meetings must be used"

Aunt Mandy's Valentines.

LA1E 1o SOhEs Db ! hANl UT GAY GIRLS PLOT TO GIVE PLEASURE. "How do you do, Aunt Mandy? I've come to show you my valentines. Did you get any to-day?"
 Miss Amanda Daniels looked up from the red stocking she was knitting for Widow Browns Jimmy and gave little sniff Of contempt.
 s'For the lands sake, child" she ex- claimed. ''Valentines, indeed! Who'd be sendin' me valentine at my time of life, want to know!' and she knitted away with increased vigor. ''I got over such foolishness long ago." she eontin- ued, after pause, ''an' so'll you when you get to be my age. Then you'll find out how soon folk'sll forget you" In spite of this emphatic assertion, shrewd Lucy Mellen was quick to observe that Aunt Mandy's mouth twitched and that lonesome look had crept into her gray eyes, so she hastened to answer cheerful ly:
 "Oh, we'll, there's lots more time. Val entine's are sent all of this month, you know, and perhaps you'll get one to-mor- row or next day"
 "P'r'aps some one'll send me hundred dollars next week." retorted Miss Dan iels, grimIy. "One's as likely to happen as the other."

 But somehow no one had ever thought of sending one to Miss Daniels, or Aunt Mandy, as she was familiarly known, and the kindly old maid grieved over that fact more than any one would be- lieve. She was everybodY's friend, and considered no pains too great to do a neighbor good turn. The villagers had grown so accustomed to the good souls ministrations that they accepted them all as matter of course, and it was rarely that a person thought of giv- ing Aunt Mandy pleasure.

 The watchword to-day is science. The traditional Is worn out. That which is proverbial may be true, 1t may not. We do not reverence the old very much at best, and not at all unless that which is venerable Is also valuable, "And wisdom is justified by her works" Philosophy does not answer our modern needs ex- cept 1t be based upon carefully collated facts. Theory, before we can afford to give 1t much practical attention must have been drawn out of classified knowl- edge and verified. The world begins to believe that 1t Is not governed by luck, but by law. Everything is scientific. This is right. It is natural and neces- sary. The Lord of life has brought this little world to that stage of evolution when our human life must be reduced to science. While the world was young and rude and uncultivated 1t could not be expected that men would be exact. Life was free, poetic and superintendent. The virgin earth brought forth enough and to spare in the early da~n of our new civi- lization.

 Of course they all came, and Lucy as chairman called the meeting to order.
 "Ladies and gentlemen" she began with as dignified an air as she could as- sume, 'do you want to give some one who deserves it a treat?"
 'Of course," cried all her hearers in unison. But what do you want us to do?"
 "Give me time and I'll tell you. Well to begin with, you all know Miss Mandy Daniels. The poor old dear hasn't had valentine sent her since she was girl, and she feels dreadfully about it. went to see her this afternoon and showed her mine and that's how I found out. She didn't tell me she cared, but l could see that she took the matter to heart. Well, propose that as soon as possible each one of JUS send her the very prettiest valentine we can, and that we get our friends to do the same thing. This will please Aunt Mandy more than | you can imagine. I declare, she's been so good to all of us and yet no one ever thought to send her even valentine. What do you say?"
 There was instant confusion of ton gues at the close of Lucy's speech, and each one tried to out-talk his neighbor, but finally, after lengthy discussion. the question was settled and all agreed to do as Lucy had suggested.
 "And Bob Allen," cried out Mary Graves, suddenly, as she observed how brightly that mlschievous, young mans eyes were twinkling, Bob Allen, don't you dare to send her one of those horrid comic valentines. Now confess, that 8 what you were thinking of doing, wasn't it2"
 The culprit laughed. "To tell the truth, that's exactly what was figuring on," he confessed.
 "Well, Bob," said Lucy, shaking her finger in admonition, "tske warning. If you know what's good for you, you won't attempt that trick"
 The following afternoon Aunt Mandy felt rather downhearted, so she put on her best gown and went out to make a call. On her way she stopped at the postofice, and from force of habit ask ed if'there was anything for her. 1 Mir Anderson, the postmaster, beamed, sJerusalem, Miss Mandy '" he said gaily, as he handed her out a bunch of fancy envelopes, "I should say so.

 Aunt Mandy took the letters in her trembling fingers. She actually turned pale. "For the land O mercy's sake !'' she gasped. "All them for me. Are you sure? Six in one day.
