1t is thought that the petition will fail

ton were held, it could not carry unless
church members vote for the saloons, and
Pastors Shore and Justice will not fail to
sound warning against course of that
sort. 1t would be singular if, just as the
other towns in the State are throwing

should so far forget the bar-room days of
former times to again bow to its yoke.

Government has decided to establish

Government itself will operate the
plants. paying the fishermen a good
prize for their fish offal and for all the
dogfish they can bring in. 1t is
claimed that the venture can be made

counter lasted ten minutes, when the
journalist inflicted horrible cash on

away the lower part of his face. The

The Labor on the Farm.

1t matters not whether the farmer
buys his labor or performs it himself,
it must be paid for. He will not con.
slider himself satisfied unless he is re-
munerated for every hours time he
devotes TO the working of crop, or on
any special plot of ground. But, as
rule, farmers are prone to give more
work on some locations than is neces-
sary under certain conditions. 1t is
waste of time and labor to cultivate
two acres If larger crop can be Sc
cured, proportlonately, on one. One
acre may not support farmer, but the
rule is applicable to larger areas. He
should not cultivate fifty acres If he
can secure better results from twenty
five. 1t will pay him to realize seven
ty-five bushels of corn, or twenty-five
bushels of wheat per acre, from twenty
five acres, while he may lose money
If he secures fifty bushels of corn or
twenty bushels of wheat per acre. from
fifty acres. 1t is not the gross amount
of produce he receives that pays, but
the net. 1t requires more time to
spread given amount of manure upon
two acres than upon one, and, so far
as cultivation is concerned, the cost is
double. Now, all this extra work may
be thrown away If the farmer can, by
lessenlng the area, devote more time
and attention to smaller space. There
will be less hurry, more thorough culti-
vatlon, greater facility In harvesting,
fewer laborers and better condition Of
the working stock. 1t is in the correct
application of labor that the profits
are derived. 1t may be wasted or mis-
| applied, and thus cause bankruptcy
instead of prosperity.
