WHAT IT COSTS TO
RAISE A WHEAT CROP
Winchester Star. !

Has the average farm er ever stopped
to think what it costs to raise a wheat
crop, or how many days he gives each
year to produce that cropi At a re-
cent meeting of the Farmers Mutual
Club, composed of leading agrcul-
turis's of Frederick county, Mr.. Ed
ward Lupton submitted a carefully
prepared paper on "How many days
during the year does the average far
mer give to the raising of S0-acre
crop of wheat ?"
Mr.. Lupton said that it depended on
whether the crop was sown in corn
ground or fallow. If in fallow ground
he figured it would require SO days,
but if in com ground 20 days blowing
must be deducted.
The cost of planting, raising, har-
veating and threshing 30-acre crop
was stated to be S216,5O Mr.. Lupton

but Joy shall live forever.
"And you, dear Sorrowi" asked JOY,
IL too shall live forever" answered
Sorrow, gently. And Joy, when 90
to my work, you must come with me,
70 s'othe the grief I bring, and to kiss
away the t,ars cllled forth by my
presence. Will you promise this to me.

And Joy promised it.
Then the sisters passed on together
In silence. The Golden sunshine fell on
their faces and over tn ir fair hair.
They seemed wondrously alike, for Joy
had borrowed some part of Sorrows
expression, and Sorrows eyes had
caught the light of Joys. And, as in
the cd days when they had danced
over the dalsied field and through the
daffodll woods, so row, no one looking
at them could tell which was Sorrow
and which was Joy.-Selected.

OBSERVATIONS.

| The man who comes gifs-laden may
'e a william, but he finds q heartiel
welcome than poor MN, in mos
homes.
Many a woman has gone wrong be-
cause she starved for a few words oil
praise.
We shrug our shoulders when we
listen to eulogies upon others. We are
always sure we deserve more.
Worries are consolded by friendship.
Sorrow needs the Divine Comforter.
Idleness is the gatekeeper to Perjury.
and god-Ia her 10 evil.
A genuinely grateful person is
usually cheerful giver.
Illusion is the dust thai the devil
throws in the eyes of the foolish. Dis
illusion is Gods antidote.
Men crave admiration, women crave
love.

CHAT FULL DINNER PAIL"

| written for The Lexington Gazette
Down in the gloom of the dusky mine,
Labor men in blacklist dust,
Where the sun Can never shine,
Toiling on for the greedy "trust,"
Struggling on, some strong and hale,
Just to fill that dinner pail.
With brawny arms, and heaying chest
Trey ply their picks IN the dirty hole
Brave aud true they do their best,
Digging out the sooty coal.
struggling on, some weak and frai,
Just to ill that dinner pail.
Three thousand pounds must be q ton,
10 appease this greed for wealth,
And screen it, too, before It's done,
To satisfy the love of pelf.
This must be done without fail
Just to fill that dinner lail.
They must furnish all their tools,
For which they pay the highest mark,
Else they would not obey the rules,
For those who labor in the dark.
With groans and signs and walls,
lust to fill those dinner pals.

POLITICAL DON'TS.

Some courageous fellow who
desires to do his country an in
valuable servic has devoted con-
siderable time to writing "don'ts''
for voters who are popularity sup
posed to select officers for the
people every two years. Why
not pen q few don is for the can-
didates? For instance, we might
say, Don't promise every old ex-
Confederate a pension If you ore
elected. Don't promise ten
places to every one you will have
the right to fill if elected. Don't
throw your money away on buns
and strikers. Don't buy the fell
low who has influence and pres
tige to sell before your opponent
has a chance to see him. Some
times it is best to buy these fell
lows last.
Don't go into a saloon with a
dollar bill unless you know

A Christian mans life is laid
in the loom Of time to a pattern
which he does not see, but God
does; and on one side Of the loom
is sorrow, and on the other is
joy; and the shuttle, struck al.
tcrnately by each, flies back and
forth, carrying the thread, which
is white or black as the pattern
needs. And in the end, when
God shall lift up the finished
garment, it will appear that the
dark colors were Us needful to
beauty as the bright ones,--
