The best way is never to 70 into
oebt: but there Ice some instances
where 1t seems to be unavoidable. In
such a case don't leave the account to
be kept by others alone; keep an ao-
count OF everything yourself. Re-
self YOU tnay be the loser. Besides,
you will always find people who are
member all are liable to make mis-
takes, and If you keep no account your
self you may be the loser Besides
you will always find people who are
ready to impose on others If they
know them to be persons who never
keep an account of anything.
Expenditures mount up much faster
than one Thinks unless an account is
kept. and are apt to run beyond the in
come; whereas, if an account were
kept, ono could lower the expenses. or
II that could not possibly be done, ono
could at least see the condition of
things and prepare some way to meet
them. Some farmers put out the same
crop from year to year, and fail to
make 1t success financially, and then
wonder why it is so, not knowing that
the expense of raising that crop is
greater than the income. If such an
one had kept an account, he would
have known the first year that he could
not make that crop pay, and then
would have been ready to raise some
other crop that would bring him .

Feeding Young Pigs.

Sow's milk is the natural food for
young pigs and when they are weaned
they should be given food as nearly
as possible like that which they have
been having from their mother. A
very good ration at this time is mid
dlings one part, corn meal one part
and skim-milk eight parts. If skim
milk is not to be had, the ration
might be filled out by adding a little
more middlings and little tankage.
Tankage is packing house product
which is very rich in protein, and
only little is required to balance a
ration. AS the pigs grow in age and
size, the proportion of food rich in
protein should be reduced and the
proportion of food rich in carbohy-
drates should be increased.-Midland
Farmer.

n Wonderful Dog,

Pete. the mascot of the SOmerville
post office, stands, according to his
friends, absolutely without a peer in the
postal service.
The worth of the men in this branch
OF the government employ depends in a
large measure upon the promptness and
precision with which they attend to the
details Of the daily routine In fact, this
may be said to be the very essence of
the SERVICE
But. says the Boston Globe. in the
whole force at Somerville there is not
a man who can equal this small fox ter
1:er in devotion to his daily duty.
Pete came to the office in the fall
OF 1902. having followed the Prospect
Hill carrier late one afternoon. He lin
gered about the Office for day or two,
and 1t was soon noticed that the dog
was beginning to catch the spirit of the
regular routine
He at once made friends with Assist
ant Chief Clerk Griffiths. who took him
home with him and fed him. Lodging
he refused. He was accordingly re-
leased and went directly to the office
where he spends ali his spare time. To-
day when off the route and not at his
meals Pete is always to be found at the
Office in Union square
According to regulations all carriers
must report at GAO each morning and
ring in" Promptly to the minute
Pete takes his stand under the
clock, where he quietly surveys each
man as he comes up and inserts his key.

TRAPPING A WITNESS.
How Smart Lawyer Managed to
Make n Dishonest Claimant
Betrav Himself

A lawyer who became celebrated for
his success as crOss-examiner had
| strong contempt for the bullying
! methods resorted to by some of ais
learned friends at the bar. The best
way, he said, to. deal with a witness
was to seem to agree with him and
fatter him until he forgot that trap
might be prepared for him and gave
himself away" AS a proof of the ef-
ficacy of this milder process he related
the following experience:
A railroad company was sued for
damages by a stalwart fellow who
claimed that his right arm, which
looked well enough, had been so in
jured in a collision that he could not
raise it above his waist.
"You say you're unable to move your
right arm freely?" asked him, pleas
antly.
Eyes, sir"
What a PITY" said I. Nov just
how far can you raise it?'
"Only 50 high," said he, lifting it
to his waist with a painful grimace.
"Too bad, too bad!" sympathized.
"And before this accident I'll wager
you were physically a match for any
man?''
You bet l vast" he assented,
warmly. sssz~~.e@:
"And could swing that arm around
as we'll as the next fellow?"
"Better!" he declared.

After time the bell strikes as sig
nal to begin tying up. This is soon fol-
lowed by the bell to get such first-class
matter as has come in since 6: 40 and add
1t to the sacks. In this Pete takes no
part, but as soon as the bell to leave
sounds he hurries to his place under the
clock
AS each man 'rings OUT he surveys
him carefully until the one comes along
whom he chooses to make his companion
for the trip. This man varies each day,
Pete seeming to desire to keep himself
in touch with every route emanating
from the Somerville Office
Perhaps the most wonderful of all
Pete's many feats is the fact that he can
keep track of the time of day. All car
riers are supposed to ring in at GER
tain time when the trip is done Pete is
always on hand. If his companion is
late it makes no difference to the dog.
1t is necessary that he be present. and
present he is.
The day before Christmas all the men
came in considerably late on account of
the extra work required of them. The
time for reporting from the afternoon
trip is 4:45. On this particular trip
Pete accompanied Carrier Rehill
When $50 arrived the route had been
covered as far as Perkins street Pete
promptly disappeared. and at 4:45 was
lsitting under the clock waiting the ar
rival of the tardy force. Here he re-
mained until every man had reported.
A general favorite with the men, they
have taken the trouble to provide him
with license and splendid collar,
which, beside the number, bears the
words: "Pete. Somerville Post Office,
