GETTING A START.

1t is very common thing to be told
by men that if they could only get a
start they could get ahead in the world.
Now, any man can. il he will. get a
start and be somebody and do some
thing. The saving of the first 500 is
the hard proposition. To save this
means hard work and self denial. poor
clothes. work after hours. plain ra-
tons and not penny spent for TOM
foolery. When hundred dollars get
together. they commence to work for
you. and the knowledge that you have
saved them will do much to make you
more industrious. more thrifty. more
economical in the effort 10 add to the
number. Get Il start. There is no
earthly excuse for poverty in such a,
country as this. K

for scabby potatoes. We know of but
one-the treating of the seed by soak

most always scab badly. Better to
take clover or timothy sod or blue

READING MATTER ON THE FARM.

READING MATTER ON THE FARM.
This is the season of the year when
the selection of a supply of reading mat
ter for the farm home comes up for
consideration. and there is no one thing
to which it will pay as well TO give
little careful attention. There may now
be obtained such a profusion of good
reading matter for trifle of money
that every home in the country should
be well supplied. Let us suppose that
there are the father, mother and four
children in the farm home. What
would be good selection? If located
on rural mail route, there should be
daily paper. preferably state paper;
then two good agricultural papers:
then the best of the local or home pa
pers, one Of the good dollar maya
zines. paper for the children and a
woman's magazine or paper for the
wife and daughters. The cost Of such
selection of matter would be about
$3.50. Where one has neighbors who
will do likewise system of exchange
will add to the list. No money which
will be spent on the farm will bring in
such large and such good returns MS
the money SO spent. We always feel
sorry to find farm home where the
reading matter is confined to an al
manac, catalogue and one or two of
these trash agricultural or story pa
pers, and there are all too many such
country homes.
