dangerous indulgence possible to one
who would be loved as companion. It
is the way that bores begin, and a first
yielding to the enticement has often led
to one Of those fatal cases Of self con-
sideration which stamp the afflicted
speaker forever with a brand

No matter; let him be silent upon these
subjects in which his own personality
must claim the lions share. The time
will come, pe1hGps, in some autumn
twilight, at the end of a long house
party, when the whole company may
gather about him and clamor eagerly
for his adventures. But until then he

versation, which commands him to leave
ample room fer the display Of wit liz

1t is just as necessary to keep ac-
counts Of farming as of any other
business or trade. We need not
keep a large double entry book, nor
employ private secretary, but it is
certainly an element of good hus-
bandry to keep accounts and know
whether the pigs sold and the crop
produced has cost more than the
market price or not. This is a good
time of the year to commence in this
direction. Open an account with
each crop and when it is harvested
we shall have an idea of it's cost and
will know whether to continue in the
production of that crop or try some
other. Keep an account with each
kind of farm stock and know if the
cows, sheep, poultry or steers are
yielding the best returns for the feed
consumed. We do not claim that
this can be determined to an exact
cent, but the conclusion arrived will
be sufficiently exact to be an import
ant guide to future operations
