er more in maintaining a good reputa-
ton for sending out good stuff than
close culling. No breeder has been able
to raise all good pigs, even from the

consigned to the pork pens. The breed

The man that builds his business by
honest transactions that are satisfac-

profit and success out of his busi-
ness. If you get customer for an
animal make the deal so that he will

who are of this character and who prac-
tise this method of doing business. To
do business and meet the requirement
you should have the blood for which
there is demand. You should have
good sows as we'll as good boars if you

You should give close attention to feed

The farm should exist for the fam

Shredded corn fodder is coming to

The woman is not wise who buys
sage, catnip and horseradish, instead
of planting a patch of them for her

Pork and potatoes should not be on
the table regularly three times day,
but should be regular crops on the
farm.
The most valuable live stock are the
boys and girls and their care, feeding,
shelter and training should receive first
attention.
Keep the stable and dairy room in
good condition and then insist that the
dairy, factory or place where the milk
goes be kept equally well.
Orchards can be started at small ex-
pense by men. women and children

BUYING OR RENTING.
many Excellent Reasons for Think
Ing the Former the Better
Policy for Our Farmers.

1t doesn't make any difference,
whether a man has small means or
can pay cash, the best policy is to
buy. Every farmer is ambitious. He
wants to own a farm-to have some
place to call home, even if it is only
40 acres. The expenses are about
equal, buying or renting. The rent
amounts to as much, and often more,
than the taxes, interest and repairs.
Ihe renter has more money to put
into stock, but his possessions must
accommodate themselves to the farm
he rents, and this is often incon-
venient. Or he must build extra
fence, which is expensive, as the fence
is useless when he moves elsewhere.
Usually the renter exchanges crops and
stock for money every time he moves,
which is every year or two. Of course,
he puts the money in the bank, and is
going to save it until he can pay cash
for a farm. During the year he sees
something that he is very anxious to
own, and as the money is easy to get,
1T goes. Of course he is going to have
better crop this year, and will make
more on his hops, and can easily re-
place the money, and, more, too. 1t is
just as easy to use it all as it is to
use little, and before the end of
the year it is all gone.
The buyer cannot do this. When he
sells crop, or bunch of hogs, and
pays the money on farm, it is
there to stay. He must deny himself
many things, but he who satisfies
every want will not have his labors
crowned with success. Unceasing toll
is the parent of success. It only takes
about half of the year to raise the
crop. During the other half the rent
er does not do enough to pay his ex-
penses. He makes as much as any
farmer while he works, but the buyer
works while the renter is idle. The
weeds need cutting, the fences need
fixing, the fertilizers need scattering,
the bitches need repairing, and many
other things need to be done, so that
the buyer is busy the entire year. Per-
haps he hasless amusement, but amuse-
ment is expensive.
A farm should have a good orchard
and a garden of shrubbery. Neither
trees nor shrubs are costly, but the
renter does not put out new ones, nor
take care of those already on the farm.
The renter leads an aimless, unsettled
life. He has no definite end in view,
and works in a haphazard, hit or miss
fashion, and it usually turns out miss.
The buyer knows just what he must
do. and makes each day bring him
nearer the goal of his ambition. Half
of the secret of success lies in having
definite aim and the other in unceas-
ing toil.-G. I. tombstone, in N. Y. Trib-
une.

back to strange thing that occurred.
While Mrs. Noble was fitting the gar
ments on her they had heard the
voices of two men in an adjoining
room. The lady went quickly to the
door and the voices became silent.
Who could they be-? Capt. Noble was
with Washington; it could not be he.
And yet rumor spoke Of the daring and
skill of the captain in, yenturing into
this very city, British possessed as it
was, and gathering valuable informa-
ton for his beloved general. ~: -: 49,

tered. They whispered together.a few

night he is almost sure to be there"
please may so, sirs?" said Eliza
beth.
'No," said one, "you must remain
here till we RETURN and they went
out, locking the door after them.
Poor Elizabeth sat there for some
time fearing to move, but when the
dusk began to deepen, she resolved to
try to escape. This was no hard task
to the active child, for the windows
were unbarred and she soon climbed to
the ground. Without pausing, she ran
to Mrs. Mobiles house. The lady her
self came to the door.
"Dear Mrs. Noble" Elizabeth gasped,
II don't know whether the captain is
here or not, but if he is don't let him
go to Squire Thornton tonight, be-
cause the British soldiers are going
there to look for him."
Mrs. Noble drew her in the house and
soon heard the whole story. She left
the room quickly and when she re-
turned she folded Elizabeth in her
arms and said: ''Heaven bless thee,
my child" Then in a moment she
added: "But you must go home now.
Your mother will surely be anxious
about YOU"
Black Pompey, a faithful house serv-
ant, was sent as an escort this time, and
Elizabeth reached home in safety.
They found the mother greatly con-
cerned over her daughters long alb
sence, but when she had told the story
of her experience, the mother voiced
her thankfulness, and praised Eliza
beth for her tact and for her firmness
in telling naught but the whole truth.
