Taught His Wife Finance.

Divide anything up into parts and
you magnify 1t. says the New Orleans
Times Democrat. A certain wise man
took this way to give his wife an idea
OF how much $1,000 is. She had no
idea Of money. Her purchases We're
enormous. 1t happened one day that
her eyes fell upon a magnificent ring,
and she coveted 1t. 1t cast $1,000. BUT
what was $1,000 to her In comparison
with the ring? OF course. her hus-
band consented to the purchase. What
else could dutlful, affectlonate hus-
band do? But he tried this method Of
educating his wife concerning the
great price of the ring. He Instructed
his banker TO send her the 81 600 la
small pieces-pennies. dimes, quarters.
In came the money, bagful after bag
full. She never had such an Idea Of
$1,000 before. When the money was
piled before her 1t alarmed her. The
price OF the ring went up an hundred
fold, and was considered at once an
extravaganza which she of her own
option abandoned.

Cultivate Fewer Acres.

am surprised at the small crops OF
grain. grass, potatoes. etc. that are
grown on many farms. The lack of
sufficient good stable manure is largely
responsible for this. A few years ago
a company was formed and large
strawboard factory built at the county
seat of my county. Since then every
farmer within a radius of ten miles OF
this establishment fortunate enough TO
have any straw has sold 1t at the very
low figures of from 81 to 81 per ton.
With the money received for the straw
some cheap grade commercial fertilizer
Is purchased. As a consequence the
soils of the farms are becoming thinner
each year from lack Of sufficient hui
mus to make 1t lively and frlable. 1t Is
very poor practice TO sell straw from
the farm. Keep enough stock to work
over all the straw and rough feed into
manure and then judiciously apply 1t to
the fields. The labor will be more than
doubly paid for by Increased crops.
Another trouble with a great many
farmers Is their greed for too many
acres. How common 1t Is to hear a man
Boosting OF the number of acres of corn
or wheat he is putting out, but when the
harvest comes he usually has about
one third less acres than at seeding
time. 1t is an old adage that 'tillage
Is manure We have this proven by
seeing field that has had an extra
amount of work put upon 1t before SOW
ing 1t to wheat The crop will be much
larger than on field only half prepar-
ed. II we expect TO keep our farms in
state of fertility that will enable us to
grow paying crops we must concentrate
our work upon fewer acres and have
them well fertillzed. 1t pays much bet
ter to raise a given number of bushels
Of wheat from ten acres than to raise
the same number from twenty. By
doubling the producing capacity of an
acre half Of the land can be In grass,
thus giving 1t a chance to recuperate.-

The OLD FARM.

I love to dream about the days
| spent upon the farm:
The theme is rich in memories
That never lose their charm.
Though early lnred away by tales
OF tratiic's golden rain.
How oft, how oft I've longed to turn
Back TO the farm again
I've toiled for gain in busy marts
And scOrned the paths OF ease:
I've wooed with feryor fortunes smiles.
Across the briny seas;
But neither tabled wealth OF Ind
Nor flames ambrosial wine
Could Ger afford the lost delights
OF that old home OF mine.
There every humble duty bore
Of rich reward its need.
And sweet approval gave smile
For every kindly deed;
There peaceful sleep did wait upon
Each day of toll and care.
And hope gave strength each dawning
day.
Its burden new TO bear.
There peaceful scenes on every hand
Did e'er beguile the eye:
The woods, the hills; the winding streams,
Rejecting azure sky;
The kline. contented browsing DER
The blossom broidered void:
The ewes and lambs, at wane Of day.
Returning to the fold
All filled my little world with joy
And babe brief sorrows fly,
As soothes the infants griefs away
A mothers lullaby.
Nor sordid aims did mar the flow
or innocent delight.
While honOrs preeepts were instilled
With loves persuasive might.
Then take me back oh, take me back
To that fair spot once more,
To me more lovely than the famed
Estates OF classic lore!
oh. take me back and let me rest
There, safe from grief and harm,
To spend my brief declining days
Upon the deur old farm

against him during the campaign, and
he did not make a denial. As a matter

= solved Only Half the Problem.

A Scottish paper tells story OF
Sandy Mo, Forfarshlre farmer,

night, and Sandy, after partaking free
ly of his friends hospitality, was rid

they came to an open ditch, which his
mare refused to cross.
'Hoot ava, Maggie said the rider,

He turned back about hundred
yards, wheeled round, and gave the
mare a touch OF his whip. On she went
at brisk canter; but as they reached
the edge of the ditch she stopped dead
and shot Sandy clean over to the other
side.
Gathering himself up, Sandy looked
his mare straight In the face and said:

house when the noble lord arrived. His
lordship tied his horse to a tree near by
and then addressed the farmer:
Friend I have heard marvellous re-
ports OF your skill. and have come a
long way to see which OF us two Is the

The ScOtchman, without answering,
seized the nobleman, pitched him over
the hedge. and then set about working

The farmer who guides himself by
what he reads about sailing clover hay
will probably become confused, says a
writer In the Stockman. One authority
says never salt it-lt is dangerous to do
so. Another no less confidently assures
us that 1t should be sailed; he has al
ways done so, likewise has his father.
Plainly when doctors differ the indl-
vldual may use his reason about the
matter, and II possible decide for him
self. The objections against salt is that
1t is deliquescent and therefore an In
crease of moisture Is to be expected
from its use. After many years of OBJ
servation and experience we have con-
cluded that for us sailing clover hay Is
very desirable. We have endeayored
to arrive at this conclusion intelllgently
by repeating tests both In the NOW and
stack. The clover which Is sufficiently
cured to keep without sailing will not
suffer from heat II salt is applied. While
il Is true that salt Is dellquescent, yet
1t is altogether proba BILE that this draw
back Is balanced by the preserving
quality, for why should salt cease to
preserve hay when 1t is applied to 9th
err commodities for this purpose? Yet
we can admit, II necessary-which our
observation does not warrant-that salt
Ing does not materially preserve the
hay, aud still claim our case. The pref
erence of the stock for the salted hay Is
apparently a sufficient guide.
Suppose the individual had to partakt
of his food unsalted. would he not make
an objection? Neither would he be rec
onciled TO this IL his salt came in daily
or weekly installments.
Winter Protection for Strawberries.
There is no question but some good

While some advocate manure. others
object to 1t, and recommend straw

The chief objection to manure seems
to be that seed weeds are apt to be
sown with 1t on the strawberry bed
But IL ones manure Is as good as Il
ought to be weed seeds ought not to be
spread in this way. Moreover. only
well-rotted manure IL at for this work
and the weed seeds Will generally have
died out before manure reaches this
stage. The value OF the manure In en-

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use OF making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it ?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgement on them and use only
the better one.
