Looking Ahead.

The farmer who is trying tc
make the most of his farming
must look to the future con
dition and fertility of his farm
as we'll as to the securing of i'm
mediate returns. While s.udv>
ing to make all that is possible
out of his present crops, he
must at the same time plan for
the future, and so far as is pos
sible preserve the fertility. I'm
less good management is given
continuous cropping without
making adequate returns will
impoverish the soil, and in a
short time the yield OF the crop
will begin to lessen. But with
proper care good crops may be
grown and yet the fertility be
kept up, while it is possible to
so manage that the fertility can
be gradually built up. 1t is
easier, however to maintain fer
tility than to build up, and the
farming should be done with
this idea in vieW.-Farmers'
Voice.

Is Your Wife Like This7

The other day a thin, tired
looking man entered printing
office, and, approaching the pro-
prietor, said:
II want to have list printed.
Suppose you write it down as I
tell YOU"
The proprietor made ready,
and the man said:

"Never mind. Don't inter

"Is there anything more?'
"Well, I think that's about
all. You see, my wife asks me
certain questions every night,
just as am getting into bed,
and if had a printed list I could
show it to her: it would save lots
of trouble. Besides that, it in
jures my lungs to answer them.
Have the list printed as soon as
possible, please"

Coloring Easter Eggs.

Easter eggs can be colored
with a1iline dye. 1t should be
diluted to the proper shade and
the eggs boiled in it. Green,
the color of hope and resurrec,
ton, is particularly appropriate,
but a variety is pleasing-red,
pink, blue, pale yellow and pur>
pie. Eggs can be boiled hard,
and painted in water colors with
a single spring flower, as a prim-
rose, or a butterfly, also a sym>
boil of the resurrection. They
should be arranged in nests of
moss. German children believe
that the Easter eggs are laid by
hares, SO representations of this
little animal are often placed on
them, or near them. Painted
butterflies, mounted On wire,
can be made to hover over the
nest.-April Ladies Home Jour

MADE A GREAT SUCCESS.
An Editor Who Knew Nothing
About the Business, but
Made Money.
(GraftOn ReCOrd.)

l was talking with a printer
the other cay who worked for a
number of years at Pennington,
Mimi, for a man by the name OF
Squires. At one time he had a
partner by the name of Farmer,
the firm name being Farmer &
Squires. One day when the
press was being loaded the "&"
dropped out, leaving plain Far
mer Squires, and the edition was
run off before it was noticed.
Farmer sold out the next day,
but it was Farmer Squires' pa
per from that on. He made a
big success of the paper, al
though he didn't know a four
plea lead from a two>revolutlon
Hoe, and he did not do a thing
toward running the paper ex-
cept making contracts for for
eign advertising-that was his
strong point; he got hay knives.
tanning mills, sewing machines,
pile drivers, washing machines
for advertising; he accepted all
propositions, including patent
medicine and scholarships. The
printer had to do the rest; he
built the fires, set the type, got
the news, attended to the politi-
cal and moral end of the paper;
smoked the wedding cigars;
chased over the county on bay
horse after subscribers, took the
blame and looked happy-and
the proprietor edited the trading
end. He traded farm machinery
for COWS, hogs, hens, grain, wood
anything to sell, eat or burn.
Once he had an angry COW tied
to the front door of the printing
office that he had traded a hay
rake for. The COW tore the
clothes almost off the mayor of
the town, who rushed into the
office so mad that he forgot to
stop the paper, but he scared
the devil so bad that he stopped
his growth. Sometime there
would be an auction at the office,
and Squires would stand on the
bed of the Fairhaven press and
sell a lot of truck so there would
be room in the office to get out
the paper but he never got stuck
On anything and finally sold out
for big figure On the strength
of his profits, which quit with
him.

naces in full blast, machinery in mo-
ton, etc., also Compton's Home on
