ON A LARGER SCALE
sisscton Farmer With a Gasoline
Engine Will do all His Work as
He Goes Along

A gasoline engine on a farm near
Sisseton is doing away with all horse
power and more or less man power,
made necessary by the backwardness
of the season. A Sisseton correspond
ent describes how a prominent farm
er is going to get a hustle on him
self to catch up with the delayed
season by using a gasoline engine
for his motive power in spring, sum
mel and fall work:
John Wolph, a progressive farmer
who resides a few miles from this
place, has decided to inaugurate a
new method of conducting his MAN.
moth farm, and will take advantage
of the latest la~bor-saving machinery
to lessen the cost of production. Ow-
Ing to the wet season last fall he
was able to do but little blowing, and
with the wet weather this spring it
was for several weeks almost impos-
sible for man and teams to get into
the fields and do the necessary nlow-
ing so crops could be put in.
To remedy all this Wolph has pur-
chased a forty-horse-power gasoline
engine, which will be put to different
uses and in future will do the work
on his farm which heretofore has re-
quired the services of a number of
men. The engine will be utilized in
the work of blowing, seeding the
ground and for harvesting the grain,
To the engine he has attached eight
plows and behind them drills and
drags, and thus he is able to do his
blowing, seeding and dragging all at
the same time.
When it comes time to harvest his
grain he will attach to the engine
the necessary moving and binding
machinery, behind which he will
again attach his plows. This will en-
able him to do his harvesting and
fall blowing at the same time. There
fore when his harvesting is com
pleted his fall blowing also will be
completed and all of this can be done
with scarcely any assistance. The
saving in the hiring of men alone
will go a long ways towards paying
the cost of the engine.

When 1t Pays to Take Risks.

II V take risks we hear peo-
pie say. They are quite wrong.
Travelling by train, street car, or
tube nowadays is fraught with risks
of many kinds. There are risks
everywhere, and nobody is absolute
ly out of danger.
But the particular risks referred
to are perhaps of a business type,
which may be accepted or rejected at
will. 1t is all luck-we are bound
to take our chances in travelling,
but there are other chances we need
not take. You need not risk your
all in one great effort to become rich
at a stroke; you need not risk all
your savings-as some have done
in backing a bill for a friend: you
need not invest your money in a
company which pays Is per cent for
a year and then lose your capital;
you need not buy a huge quantity of
stock you may not sell, simply be-
cause it is cheap. There are a
thousand and one risks which sug-
gest themselves in the course of a
year. A few you may be bound to
take by force Of circumstances, but
it is better to keep a sharp lookout
for comparative certainties.
Speculations have a peculiar fas-
cination-the chance of buying low
attraction for the bridesmaids heart
He sees the dollars coming in fast
and he persuades himself the deal
and selling high has a mysterious
must be done. Well a little daring
a spice of courage, these are fine
qualities. But they need watching
The small man especially, with nc
margin of capital, should hesitate
to take risks.

in the assertion that like condi-

world has survived the infection.
It singles out the year 1882

show that Its spring contained
more low temperature than the

These references to the past
tend to tighten the heart, for
they contain assurance that the
