himselfa practical farmer who knows
the smell of the soil. Mr.. Franklin is
man of middle period of life, the
father of large and happy family and
personally the embodiment Of the
sunshine which radiates from his de-
lightful Farm Burrows Ask ten read
ers of The Homestead which of it's
departments they read first ard nine of
them will say, Farm Burrows" Yet,
this is only one of many splendidly
written and carefully edited depart
ments of this great agricultural weekly.

mends The Homestead as truly great
and really practical agricultural paper.

1t has been said, taking life through
and through the larger part of sorrow
and heart ache it has known has not
come through great sorrow, but through
little needless hurts and unkindnesses,
not so much through the ordering of
Providence as through the misorderings
of humanity. Oh, the days that are
spoiled by smaller hurts! Spoiled be-
cause somebody has foolish spite, a
wicked mood,an unreasonable Prejudice
that must be ,gratitied and have it's way
no matter whose rights, plans or hearts
are hurt by it. We all realize that this
life is full of sorrow. We are here to
heal the wounds and bind the broken
heart, and the only way we can do this
is by being kind loving and sympathetic !.
Heartsickness is much harder to help
them, go out of your way to tighten the
burdens OF the heavily laden. Don't
hesitate to express your kindly thoughts.
If you are strong, then be merciful.
