How. to Make Farming Profitable

Much has been said and written upon
how to make farming profitable, the
work pay, and above all, the home hap
py. In rejecting over this matter there
seems to come to us few principles
which if applied are sure to bring the
results expected in making farming
profitable. Firstly developing the mind.
This does not mean the acquiring of
vast amount of knowledge. A man may
have his head filled with knowledge
and still prove dismal failure. Facts
obtained in every day work should be
compared, their relation sought out,
thus developing process of true
reasoning, out of which come hidden
truths which tend to enliven the minds
to active powers, of practical reasoning
and to serve as stepping stones to the
attainment of real culture.
Youmay SOW the best of seed on un-
cultivated ground and reap most un-
satisfactory results. Likewise the &C
cumulation of knowledge without the
cultivation of the reasoning powers
will surely leave an almost barren
| field.
Unsuccessful farmer should be the
slave of no mans opinion, neither
should he despise the logical conse-
quences of science surrounding him on
every hand. He should not forget that
true sciencei is always true and aim to
shun socalled science which has no sound
foundation and leads one astray from
the path of truth. Bear in mind that
good common sense will often get at
the root of matters, as well as much of
the teachings of the day. Bring cul-
tiyated mind to bear on the every day
work on the farm. The celebrated
painter, Turner, was once asked to ex-
plain how he mixed his colors in order
to give them their lasting effect. He
replied; II mix them with brains"
Thoughtful men know that brains as
well as Drawn are required to make
farming successful profession.
Secondly. Be thorough in all work,
haphazard methods are too often found
running on the farm. Let whatever is
done be done well. Get the best of
everything within your reach that will
help make your work more successful
the best stock, the best seed, the bes,
machinery. The waste on many farms is
enormous. Fences, gates and general
conditions about the premises, by be-
ing neglected, becomes the source Of
much loss. The old adage, "a stitch
in time saves nine,"is as true today Of
1t ever was, A little thing attended tc
in the niche of time and not put off un
til the morrow, returns many fold In
the end.
Third. Be honest and truthful, nc
one can afford to be otherwise. Mar
is said to have been made upright bu,
often times by the practice of deception
he becomes fearfully twisted, q crooked
ness that is hard to dispose of. Live &C
that men will take your word, asquick-
ly as they will your bond.
Fourth and last. Practice economy
and industry, these are the KEY note
upon which our successful business
men build their vast enterprises. L,v,
3 within your means. Look on the pleas
Q ant side of life. Be satisfied with whs
: you are doing If you would get th,
most out of it "for nothing of worth o
weight can be achieved with half

Wooing a Husband

An affectionate, pretty woman, 26

proud of her husband, is sure to OBJ

forerunner of infidelity and always a

THE REAL CRANK
Is Plainly Marked

A crank is one who stays in beaten paths when common sense tells him to leave.
 The real crank is one who persists in using coffee because accustomed to and yet knows it hurts him. It is this one who always pays the penalty, while the sensible person who gives up coffee and takes on Postum Food Coffee in it's place enjoys all the benefits of return- ing health.
 A well-known manufacturers agent Of New York City visited the grocery department of one of the big New York stores not long ago and there he tasted a sample cup of Postum made the right way. He said afterwards: "Just through the energy Of that young woman who was serving Postun there I became a convert to the food drink and gave up the drug drink coffee and got well.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.] i
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for tune who made the big race one fine day in April During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim he encountered much bad3wa- ter, which. together with the severe heat, gave him. a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be- came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony. and in few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and with in an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. This one little bottle worked complete cure, and he cannot but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists. f%'t < ht l.. .Es S}@:.
