Where the Dniryman Ia Ahead.

The dairyman's Income comes steadi-
~ along each week or month through
the whole year. Therefore he gets into
the habit of paying as he goes, says
c. T. Goodrich. When the farmers
income Is from some crop that Is sold
off once n year he gets into the habit
of running into debt at stores. He gets
what he wants, and the members of
the family get what they want. and it
is charged up to him. When the crop
Is sold and he gets the money he goes
to settle up with the merchant He is
astonlshed to find his account so large,
and he does not have money enough to
pay. He has got behind, and the
chances are he will be still more behind
next year After awhile mortgage
has to be given to raise the money to
pay up. This habit of getting into debt
is a bad one and the dairymen are
more likely to keep out of 1t than any
other class of farmers. That dairymen
as a class have more money to their
credit in banks | am sure, for | have
made that a subject of special investi-
cation.

All women love flowers, and every woman
