One OF the best farmers in this sec
ton of the country (Broome County,
New York; writes L. l.. Vincent, once
SAID that the secret Of his success was
that he began early in life to save in
every direction he could. The little
savings thus made from time to time
enabled him to build up his business
IN every direction; and long before
his death he came to be classed among
the few really prosperous farmers Of
his locality.
Being DESTROYS to know in what
direction this mans economy led,
made Il few mental notes Of his plans
ms shown 10y the farm he owned, and |
soon discovered that his savin was
not OF the class usually seen il the
county; for he had good burn for
his stock. The wind did not whistle
through dozen cracks aud cravices,
causing his cattle to SILVER, and lauirg
Tor larger OUTLAWS for fodder and grain
to keep them through our long North
ern winters. He had plenty OF build
ings FOR storing the implements used
abont his farm. No wagons, siei2hs
or tools lay out of doors, rus,iug or
rotting in the summer rain. All these
buildings were kept in n good state Of
repair and the fences showed signs of
careful attention. His work was done
promptly in season. No ripened
grain went TO seed, and no weeds grew
rank among his crops. In buying he
was careful to get only the best OF
oYory thing, and in selling he eBtab-
lishcd reputation for fair dealing.
His word was as good as his bond
1t might seem as il all this indionted
Il lavish expenditure Of time and
money, instead OF economy; but it
may he safely set down as a fact that
farmer cannot waste his resources
more surely and efTeotually than by
being niggardly toward his land, his
crops and his buildings. A half
starved farm, soil fairly crying out for
more liberal feeding and cattle el:ing
out miserable existence in open
barns or barren pastures are proof
positive that their owners are oxceed-
ingly wasteful all along the line 1t
phys TO lee generous with tho farm.
The return comes surely and soon.

TIE RrcuE FASHION.

At the beginning of the season it Is
well to look with suspicion upon the
fashion which seems most in favor.
for there always hoYers rounC it the
danger that little later it nav be-
come common.
This is just what has happened this
year to the fascinating ruche. Early
IN September 1t appeared as one of the
fall novelties. 1t came in the effective
changeable taGetas, with n narrow
velvet edge, and could be bought by
the yard.
Women soon saw that the ruche
could he used in many ways, and that
invariably its fluffy fnllncss was be-
coming.
Then and there the downfall Of the
ruohe began. Now it is seen more
often on the streets than any one of
fashions frills.
Every second hat one meets is
trimmed with rucbe, and IT, ouph
many Of the hats are French ere tions
and costly, the popularity of the ruche
dctracts much from their distinction.
Hats made on Third avenue are now
ornamented with ruche.

women who are fond OF exclusive
things are rosretfully putting aside
