HERE AND THERE.

A correspondent says the Elberta
peach has been over-planted. Before
agreeing to this proposition, we
would better wait until the trees
now planted come into bearing. II
too many are produced for immedi-
ate consumption, why not can them!
MANY farmers do not appreciate
the value of good tools to work with.
With manufacturers it is different.
The intelligent maker OF things
knows that he can not compete IN
his business unless he has the very
best tools to work with.
Shallow cultivation is best for
the orchard, as well as the field. The
feeding roots that forage in the sur
face soil should never be disturbed
by the pillow. The turning pillow should
be banished from the orchard after
the trees are set.
There must be same profit IN
growing cabbages in south Texas, as
the Corpus Christi Caller says Mr..
Henry Wagner, q cabbage grower
near Nueces town, has just purchased
an auCOnOOllcs
IT is not business-like for q
farmer to set price on any product
unless he knows precisely what that
product cost him. What if a mer-
chant really, as they often claim tn
do, sell regardless OF COST" VI
course, an assignment would follow.
The average yield per acre OF
corn in this country for 1901 is the
lowest on record-two bushels less
than that of 18S1-long the record
breaker for low average. The aver.
age this year is put at 16 bushels;
the average for that for 1900 was e
bushels.
There are many farmers who can
not afford complete outfit of labor
saving farm implements. In such
cases they should combine and buy
company outfits or individuals
may be induced to invest in outfits.

forhood for a reasonable compensa.
ton.
Farming is now a better business
than it ever was, because farmers
are better farmers that they ever
were. Science has furnished the
knowledge how, and art the means
by which hard drudgery may be con-
yerted into healthful exercises and
healthfule exercise into pleasant recrs
alton.

OF Mormon, ana 1rOW tHdt PuOAco-
ton came Mormonism, the monster
abomination of the earth. Rev. Solo
mon Spauldfng might have been better
engaged than writing that book OF
falsehoods. However much time we
have, we have never time to do wrong.
Harness January for usefulness, and it
will take the following months in its
train. Oh, how much you may do for
God between now and the 31st Of next
December! The beautiful weeping
willow" tree was introduced by Alex
ander Pope into England from twis
which the poet found in Turkish
basket of figs. He planted that twag,
and from it came all the weeping viii.
lows Of England and America; and
your smallest planting of good may I'M
der God become an influence conti-
mental and international.
Now that the train of months has
started, 4let it pass, January followed
by February, with longer days, and
March, with it's fierce winds; and April,
with its sudden showers; and May,
with its poisoning orchards; and
June, with it's carnival of flowers; and
July, with it's harvests; and August.
with its sweltering heats; and Septem-
Der, with its drifting leaves; and o.
tober, with its frosts; and November.
| with its Thanksgiving scenes; and De-
cember, with its Christian hilarities.
March on, o battalion of the months,
in the regiments of the years and the
brigades Of the centuries! March on
and join the months and years and
centuries already passed until all the
rivers of time have emptied into ths
ocean of eternity, but none Of all the
host ought to render higher thanks to
God or take larger comfort or make
more magnificent resolve than this, the
first month of the new year.
But what fleet foot hath the months
and years! People lightly talk about
how they kill time. Alas, it dies Soon
enough without killing. And the
longer we live the swifter it goes. Will
liam C. Bryant said an old friend of his
declared that the going of time is like
the drumming of the partridge or muf
fed grouse in the woods. falling slow
and distinct at first and then following
each other more and more rapidly till
they end at last in whirring sound.

Of time, startEagly exclaimed: "Ask

are watched all night by keepers who sit
at a desk on raised platform To facil-
