Agricultural Exports.

The products of agriculture form very
large proportion of our exports. In 1896
they formed o5 per cent of the total ex-
ports of the country, and they constituted
fully that percentage of the exports OF
1897. When this is realized, and when
we learn that the exports of the United
States for the last year were in excess of
81 900, 900 900. it will be seen what vast
amount of farm produce has gone abroad
in exchange for foreign gold.

A Stitch In Time.

If one has a farm he is his own employ
err. and if he does not succeed it will be
due to his faults or mistakes. Many per-
sons would succeed who fail if they would
work as hard for themselves as they are
compelled to do when employed by
another. 1t is the work applied at the
right time and vigorously that brings
success.
