"A newspaper man on his rounds
may stop and ask hundred persons
whats the news?" and ninety out of
the hundred will reply Nothing spec
.ial;' and yet fifty out of that number
know something hich If not found in
the next paper will astonish them
greatly and disappoint them more, and
perhaps make them madden than hor.
NETS Don't be afraid to let the news
paper man know what is going on,
Matters of small moment to you may
he of interest to somebody else. 1t is
the little things that go to make the
great whole.
An exchange wisely remarks con-
corning farmers institutes. Never get
q man to conduct your institute and
tell you how to raise corn who never
produced bushel; to tell you how to
produce pork who never fed a pig; to
tell you how to make money with cows
who never fed or MIXED one; to tell
you how to raise cattle who never fed
. calf; how to make and save hay who
never pitched fork full; how to make
money raising steers who never was in
the feed lot; how to cultivate the gar
den who never used the hoe: how to
raise and care for horses who never
pettei or fondled colt. Remember
that water can never raise higher than
Its surface. Bennett.

time ago were engaged with threshing
outfit in that section and were in the
habit of sleeping together. They had
