The present prosperous condition Of
the farmers of the country should be
utilized by as many as possible to get
square with the world and hedge
against the proverbial rainy day which
is sure to come again. The very best
safeguard for a man on farm during
siege of low prices and hard times is
to be out of debt. Times have got to
be worse than we ever knew them if a
man who owes nothing cannot manage
to live and get along pretty well on a
farm even when banks are breaking,
merchants failing and labor unable to
get employment Hard times, like GER
tain epidemic diseases, come and go
about so often, and the wise man win
provide against them.

NO "FuLLv ON THE FARM.

Success in so many lines. of business
nowadays depends upon having some
sort of "pulf' that it is of interest
to note the entire freedom of agricul-
ture froa this sort of thing. No man
has pull on old Mother Earth As
a man soweth so shall he reap, and no
more equitable or juster award is
TO be found en- earth than is meted
out to the man who fills the soil. Elk
ira care, preparation. cultivation and
fertilizing are always rewarded by ex-
ira crops, while laziness, neglect and
shiftlessness in farming invariably
reap their reward of crop failure. 1t is
Of no use to try to be other than strict
y honest with the farm.

There is no finer Jelly fruit than the
wild grape, but they are seldom used
because of the difficulty of gathering
them from treetops and other almost
inaccessible places. Every man might
just as well have all he wanted where
they would bear well and be easy &C
access by planting the vines along the
barbed wire fences on his farm. They
would require no care or attention
This is worth trying.

maximum in the Hawaiian Islands, a
late government bulletin reporting a
crop of ii tons of sugar per acre on a
plantation of 100 acres. This sugar
