GIVING THE FARMERS FITS.
(rF THE COAT FITS PUT IT oN).

The COW profit IL mostly to be found in the
top OF the milkpail; the nearer you get to
the bottom the smaller the profit. And many
a man feeds as much good food to poor sort
of a scrub COW, as II would take to feed one
giving twice Tor more) as much in return.
II your hens run at large, do you put your
garden away down in the field where tired,
hurried woman must walk a half mile to get
a basket OF vegetables for dinRer?
Don't have Il so next year; get some wire
fencing and put garden where It is handy to
plant, to work, and for harvest The first
cost will be something; but after years Ofcom-
fort will pay the bill.
Steps count, and often we see a gate where
It causes miles of needless travel; and the out
and indoor arrangements on the farm FIRE.
quently result in the same way.
! Don't be einconvenienced daily; and annoyed
by lack oflitte repairs or conveniences, a
little time and small cost would remedy. For
instance, a fancy looking lane gate was used
many years without hinges; always being
lifted to one side II wagon passed in or out.
Very often a window. door or closet In the
house or barn, bould be placed where, after
having It there for time one would not part
with the comfort IL gave. One man may say,
81 cannot afford" so and so; while another no
more forehaHded. but rich in forethought,
would say, "Well, I cannot afford to do with
out it,"
One cannot afford to allow buildings, wag-
ons, implements, etc, to 60 unpainted, and
decay. Economy ferbids.
There is as much in saving as In earning
and there is a stinginess which wastes or
throws away; and spending which gathers
or accumulates.

Farming calls for the best brain and heart
man can have.
Business is a cubic thing:
Square In all ite bargaining;
Square to God and square to man
Square to self on any plan;
Square to all the winds that blow.
Squarest thing THAI mOrtals know.
Business that Is not four-square
Isn't business-see? Now there?"
No man needs a better head or truer heart |
than the farmer.
Hon. Henry Lloyd in addressing the Penn
sylvania Horticultural Society, said: 81 es-
TEEN the work in which you are engaged as
the only business that ia hedged in by hon
profession Of ministers and that kind OF bus |
iness, but I am speaking from the worldly
view) believe there is more honest money, |
there is more gold in the honest toll OF the
farmer than can be brought from the richest
mine. And Il believe that we are beginning |
to appreciate more the value Of that section
OF this vast country in which It has pleased
God to give us our station In life.

and an independence that no calling In life
may command. II would be a blessing If we
could only dissuade the young from leaving
our land and rushing TO the cities. II we
could only convince them that 95 per cent OF
those who go to the cities die poor men, while
those who pursue the culture Of the land in
dustriously and honestly reach an indepen-
dence that no other people as a mass can
claim, we would do them great service"
Every farmer ought to say a hearty "amen"
10 his words; and then think and act along
that line. Rouse up! do not dream you are
fulfilling your missien as long as you are not
seeking to spread the gospel OF true farming
and thereby gaining converts thereto; land

Iorses and children object to both; and a few L
