You've heard people say that they had
worked like dog all day" An ex
change has figured that if this were liz
orally true the 2i hours would be spent
thus: One hour digging out rat, two
hours gnawing bone, one hour waiting
for cat to come down out of tree, half
an hour begging to get in the house and

mat in the cold doorway.
A man never makes any money out uE
machine unless it is working. Nov,
the COW is n machine pure and simple
and il she is not kept at work there if
no profit in keeping her, and to get some-
thing out of her you must put scme-
thing into her, and the man who thinks
he can make money by scrimping the
4 feed of his COWS is very short sighted
The COW should be fed up to the limit
of her ability to assimilate food il she is
to be made profitable.
Did you ever notice that tobacco is all
ways cleanY If man drops piece of
meat, no matter how clean the floor may
be, he will either give it kick or pick
4 1t up and lay it to one side. He Will
never eat it. But let him drop his plug
of tobacco on the ground. and no differ
ence how dirty the spot was where it
fell, he will pick it up and give it care
less swipe on his coat sleeve or on the
bosom of his pants and then take chew
with greater relish than ever.

with the average man or woman is TO
be found in the too ready disposition to
give up The king tthe will is dethron-
ed long before 50, sometimes before co
and even before 40. The individual
thinks he has lost his chance and the
Scripture says "As a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he" He thinks he is
not good for much and he has lost his
grip.

worth 10 cents each.
