When does the farmer make a profit
There are hundreds Of farmers vwho
have become wealthy, yet they have
handled very little money and have had
difficulty in meeting their obligations:
There Is one bank account which they
do not draw upon, and The deposits ac-
cumulate for years, ana that is the sail.
A farmer takes a poor farm, works it,,
adds manure, and receives but little
over expenses, but every year his farm
has become more fertile and also in
creased IN value. In ten or more years
the farm may be worth five times The
original cost, and 1t represents just as
much profit as though the farmer had
received money. All farms are. to a
certain extent, banks of deposit, where
the profits of the farm slowly aecumu-
late.

Packinr Enid for nrarket.


The degree of ripeness should deter
mine the time of gathering the fruit.
Host kinds Of pears have a better flavor
If picked as soon as their growth is
completed and permitted to rlpen Off
the tree. All the fruits should be han
died carefully to prevent bruising, and
very particular care should be taken
with the tender fruits. The sorting
should be carefully done, according to
size and color, the wrapping to follow,
but all the fruit should be permitted TO
cool before either Is undertaken.
Throughout this work, the less han
ding that is given the longer its condi-
ton will remain good.
The packing should be done in such
a way as to hold the fruit protected
from jostling and bruising while in
transit to market, but yet It should not
be packed so closely as to prevent the
air from circulating through it freely.
! Only such fruits should be packed as
are thoroughly sound, free from blem-
ish, of good shape and Of reasonably
good size.
Tender and soft fruits especially
should be cooled as soon after being
picked as practicable. The wrappers
should not be close enough In texture
to confne within them the moisture
that comes from the fruit by evapora-
ton. OF the fruit will be apt to mildew
This is often seen on oranges wrapped
in paper of close texture. The
changes going on in ripe fruit generate
heat, and this should be counteracted
as far. as practicable. 1t is said that
even in a well.refrigerated car the heat
liberated from the fruit will often
more than counterbalance the cooling
effect of the ice. Hence, it is important
to have rapid transportation to market
before the heat generated by ripening
process causes decay.-Texas Stock

Pittine Potatoes.


Potatoes keep better in a pit than
anywhere else, but they must be well
protected to prevent zero weather
from catching them. They should new
er be covered deeply enough to allow
them to become at all heated or they
will start to grow The first covering
should be not more than six inches
deep, and this should not be increased
until the ground has frozen enough to
bear up a man. Then put on a cover
ing Of straw, over the soil already on,
and put on more soil, patting it down to
make 1t shed rain. Leave the pit until
actual winter has come and the ground
is well frozen, and then over all put a
foot of fresh manure from the stables.
Don't be afraid of driving the frost in,
for this viii not happen. Keep the
manure on until the potatoes are need
ed in the spring, for the covered pit win
not thaw out nor will the manure allow
It to freeze any more, and the potatoes
will not sprout until time for planting
in the spring If left in the pit
Potatoes that are to be used for seed
should be placed in a pit by themselves
so as to leave them undisurbed until
taken out to plant.-Farmer's Voice.

Over and over again the old truth
comes back to as, that no man is good
for much till he has suffered a great
sorrow. The baptism OF pain is one Of
the instrumenfalities which God uses
for purging away the dross Of our ma
lures and making Us fit to be partakers
OF the inheritance of the saints in light.
Not those who have escaped the fiery
trial, but those who have gone through
it and come out unhurt and glorified,
are to be envied. God knows what is
best for MS. Therefore He sends first
one affection and then another upon u.s.
Sometimes, because He sees It to be
necessary, He lifts the very fioodgates,
and allows wave after wave Of mis-
fortune to sweep. over us. If we have
the right stuff in US, we shall be
helped and not harmed by these seem-
ing calamities. Christian Advocate.

In banking up against the walls of
basement barns, and especially in
building up a passageway to the en-
trance, there is always strong tempta-
tion to use stones piled In loosely as a
basis. where stones are over plentiful
on the farm. Yet this usually proves
a mistake. Rats will invariably effect
a Judgement among such stones, and
they will in time work through into
tbe barn basement. Besides, rains will
wash dirt among the stones, and it will
require constant attention every year
to keep the passage way so'that loaded
