The Example of Washington.

eyes" observed Brown, 'T have
long since quit advising young men to
follow in the footprints left by George
Washington upon the sands of time"
But" protested Smith, you
surely will not deny that the integrity
and the patriotism of Washington
have raised up standard which it
should be the constant effort of every
American youth to reach?"
"Oh, no." replied Brown; "I have
no fault to find with either his integ-
rity or his patriotism.
"Then why do you not consider it
advisable for our young men to follow
his example?" queried his friend in
surprise.
"Well, l arrived at that conclusion
from my own experience. You see,
my father always advised me to take
George Washington as the guiding
star of my ambition, and insisted that
I should follow with all possible ex-
actness in the footsteps Of that illus
trious gentleman.
Excellent advice. Did you fol-
low lt?"
''To the letter. L studied the life
of Washington with unfailing diligence
and all my actions were reflex OF
his. Whatever he did, that did l."
"And you have lived to regret it,"
Bitterly"
"That is remarkable. What deed
of his did you duplicate that caused
your regret?"
Washington, you know,
married O widow"

Profitable Milk Farming Near Cities.

In March, 1894, came from Florida,
where had been engaged in school
teaching andforange raising. leased
a farm near Boston and found myself
with two cows, one old horse and $500
in money. The first thing did was
to buy furniture for the house. then
bought COWS enough to make ten CIV
ing milk, paying down all the money
L had and going in debt for the re-
for by May l. was making thirteen
and fourteen cans of milk daily, at
which time ] rented small farm of
twenty acres with buildings about one
mile from where I was living.
planted five acres of this farm to
corn and two acres to oats and peas,
using the remainder of the farm for
pasture. All the time l kept adding
to my stock of COWS, horses, imple-
ments, etc, so that by January /, 1896,
| had twenty cows, making thirty cans
of milk daily at thirty three cents per
can, two fair horses, having early in
the summer sold my old horse for $40,
two wagons, few implements and a
fairly furnished house nearly all paid
for, and hay and fodder enough on
hand and paid for sufficient to carry
my stock through the winter. How
did get this feed? 1 got 1T in this
way. was right in the heart of a
market garden region and very few Of
the gardeners kept cows, so that there
was an abundance of stuff that they
were glad to give away, such as pea
vines, bean vines, weeds and grass,
small squashes, turnip tops, small cab
bages and cabbage leaves. 1 also
bought ten acres of standing sweet
corn for $5 per acre, after the ears had
been picked of. | was also during
this time feeding brewers grains, to-
gether with corn meal These brewers
grains bought at an average price oi
about three cents per bushel during
the summer and seven in winter.
By the first of April, 1896, I had
thirty COWS and more milk being
needed on May I bought ten more
thus making forty COWS, which number
kept until the following May, wher
1 increased to fifty and through thu
following summer and fall kept in
creasing until at the beginning of win
