The Farmers Creed.

We believe in small, well-iilled farms
that the soil must be fed as we'll as the
owner, so that the crops shall make the
farm and the farmer rich.
We believe in thorough drainage, in
deep blowing, and in labor saving impe-
plements.
We believe in good fences, barns con-
venenty arranged, good orchards. and
gardens. and plenty OF home raised hog
and hominy.
We believe in raising pure-bred stock
or in grading up the best to be got; they
equal the thoroughbreds.
We believe in growing the best vare-
ties of farm crops and saving the choicest
for seed.
We believe in fertilizing the brain with
phosphorus as well as applying it to the
soil
We believe in the proper carea and pplic
alton of barn yard manure
We believe that the best fertilizers are
of little value unless accompanied by in
dustry, enterprise and intelligence.
We believe in rotation Investigation
and thorough cultivation OF crops.
We believe that every farm should own
a good farmer and that every good farmer
will eventually own a good farm.-Prof.

Glass Umbrellas.

1t is rumored that before long glass
umbrellas will be in general use-that
is, umbrellas covered with the new
spun glass cloth. These, of course, will
afford no protection from the rays Of
the sun, but they will possess one obvi-
GUS adyantage-namely that they can
be held in front of the face when meet
ing the wind and rain, and at the same
time the user will be able to see that
he does not run iuto unoffending indi-
viduals or lampposts. But what say tho
lovers-the seaside holiday lovers-who
are to be seen on every beach round the
coast, with their backs to the cliff or a

brella in front of them, leaving nothing
to the gaze of the inquisitive save the
soles of their four shoes? Surely they
will revolt against the innovation. -
