Bee. Branches of Farming.

Dairying and poultry keeping are
about the only branches Of farming
that afford a nearly continuous income.
The main and staple crops yield a har-
vest but once a year. The profits OF
farming, generally speaking, come
slowly. and must be patiently waited
for. TO some young men, ambitious to
get rich fast, this seems to be a reason
for choosing to engage In some other
business. But the returns OF intelli-
gent farmers. although slow, are pref
ty safe and sure. The young live stock
which a farmer raises must be fed and
cared for a long time before any profit
comes back, but the profit comes IN due
time. Their growth and Increase In
weight goes ON silently and steadily as
money ut interest. and, In the end,
should amount to much more. One I'm

hood were over and he had completed a
common school education he went to
the city of Buffalo and secured employ
ment In a bank. His promotion was
steady. From the position OF teller IN
the Buffalo bank he was called to the
position of cashier Of the Commercial
Bank of Lake Erie In 1899. This took
him to Cleveland. He helped to organ
lie the bank and remained with the iu-

Clearing Up the Barnyard.

After the great bulk Of wlnter-made

ways remains a considerable amount of
scattering manure. which, II not gath

In heaps, where II will be less liable to

yards there are accumnlatlons Of finely

previous years. 1t does not pay to
leave such rich to go to waste.

When the farmer sells N OF his ami
mails to the butcher to kill and market,
the latter has every advantage. He Is
used every day to estimating weights,
and his business makes 1t necessary to
guess closely. SO In most such sales by

often by fifty or a hundred weight.
Every farmer who has occasion to sell
anything by weight should procure a
pair OF farm scales. They VIII save
their cost often In n single year.
