Against the probability or possibility
of mischance or accident we can never
be too sure. But II we should stop IN
consider how great h the chance Of
sudden death, we would be made too
timid and unhappy. Caution IL needed
not to be foolhardy, and precaution 10
know what is best to do when nm acci-
dent happens. One day this winter
two men were walking and one said:
"We're too timid I'm treading on slippery
places. tread firmly and never think
about them, and 80 escape a fall"
Never be too sure" said the other;
ut is that that throws you on AMI
makes the fall the harder" Just then
they came upon a place covered with
thin snow, where kids had been sliding.
The first speaker slipped and came
down with his foot turned and badly
sprained his ankle. He was n cripple
on crutches until a short time ago, hav-
ing used many things without benefit.
Up to that time he had not used st.
Jacobs Oil, which, when used, cured
him completely, SO that he walks as
usual. There is n probability that Tor
the rest of the season he will walk eau
tiously, with the precaution OF having
this great remedy ready for use.

cities all denominations are represent

ity to the grain fields. most OF the re-
quIrements for a comfortable existence
are met. The Development that Is now
taking place In the mining districts
gives an impulse to agriculture, and
good prices. with good crops, bring
about a state Of affairs that the crowd

are taking advantage Of. The Associat-

The Old Horae.


Ay, sell the old horse, if you will;
For he is broken down
And weak with years-why care for that
There's plenty in the town
To take his place, to do his work,
To go the pace he went
BY day or night, or rain or shine,
Until his strength was spent.
He never stopped to reason why,
To ask that this be done,
Or that he knew his duty.
He did IL on the run.
He served his master as he best
Knew how to serve-and now
Go sell him; he is loyal and
Will not ask why, or how.
A horse is not n sentiment;
He cannot think or speak
Or vote: then why protect him when
He's worthless, old and weak!
For him no starry banner floats
On every breeze that blows;
For him no pension comforts come
When years his labors close.
Ay, sell the old horse, il you will;
He will not ask you why,
Nor make complaint when he is turned
Adrift to starve and die;
But faithful in his labors still,
AS when they were begun,
He will not care he is content,
With duty bravely done.

Use of Fertilizers.

You cannot, by the use of commercial
fertilizers alone. make your land rich.
Indeed, If they are ignorantly applied,
the result will be the impoverishment
of the soil. If you add SO to your bank
account and check out $50, you know
the result. In like manner, when you
use small quantity of your fertilizer
1t grows vigorous plant, which en-
ables 1t to gather fertility from the soil
largely in excess Of the materials added
by the fertilizer. Judiciously used,
they are great boon to the farmer
But, repeat, the best method of. using
the phosphates and potash salts Is on
the pea and clover crops. 1t ensures, as
a rule, fine crop OF these renovators.
