will be to prevent cut in wages and
not to compel an increase, and the time
Is not far off when the man will be
hunting the job instead of the job
hunting the man. 1t has been Il pretty
good time, however, and all have had
a share in it. The wise man has paid
up his debts and i'm large measure
made himself independent of more adj

people are never content with modcr-

WHAT CHANGED HINV

He was fifty years old and lived on
n farm. He had been all his life what
is known as n pretty hard case; would
get drunk and bum around every go
often, was uselcssly and wickcdly pro-
fame, paid no regard to the Sabbath,
Was hard in his dealings with his
ncighhors, british In his home and not
infrruucntIy struck and abused his
good wife. He was rich and was sim
ply endured and dcspiscd by nll the
decent people of his community. BY
some strange chance he was brought
under the influence Of good minister
who was conducting some revival
meetings in his neighborhOod and, ns
we term it, was converted. Now note
the change. He quit drinking and
swearing and abusing his wife and
children, observed the Sabbath as n
dny OF rest and went to church with
his family, became kind to the dumb
animals on his farm and dealt honest
ly and squarcly with his neighbors.
What changed this man? Call II m
old woman's fable, superstition or
bigotry, or what you please, 1t made
new man of him and was n GOOD
thing, anyhow. This happened ten
years ago, and he Is n good man and
ncighbor today.

ALL INTER- EsTED IN AGRICULTURE

There has developed in the large cor
rcspondcnce growing out OF the pub
lication of these notes the very pleas
ing fact that Il large percentage Of
men engaged in professional, mcrcan-
tile and manufacturing lines have n
strong liking for things pertaining to
the farm. This Is not to he wondered
ut when one considers how many OF
them were born and raised upon the
farm, and then through much of the
country. especially in the great west,
all kinds of business outside OF the
farm are so very closely connected
with the farm agricultural prosperity
and good crops insurinS commercial
and professional SuccCSS-that things
pertaining to agriculture arc Of interest
to nearly all. Then the man in town,
be he doctor. lawyer. merchant or par
son, is just us much interested in his
home surroundings, and often more
than is the farmer. for lie will have
his garden, his lawn, his flowers, his
shade and fruit trees, often his chick
ems and n COW, and for many the
dream Of their lives is to have small
farm where living shall be free from
the fret, strife and competition of our
modern cOmmcrCialism. And SO 1t
comes that If anything can be written
which shall appeal to the almost uni
vcrsal love of nature and natural
things Of home, and how to make 1T
more delightful place OF life and
how to get the most and best out of

chant in his counting room, the teacher
in his schoolroom, the lawyer in his

A costly way to raise calves and pigs
Is to set the milk of the dairy cows In

there Is fed to the calves and pigs not
less than thrce-quartcrs Of pound Of
