RETIRING FROM THE FARM.
Attractions Of the Town for Those
Who Grow Weary Of Life in the
Country.

The majority of farmers after years
OF toll and the accumulation of a CON-
potency consider the time that they
can retire from the drudgery of the
field and barnyard and live contented-
ly in town. Sooner or later many
Of them have their desires gratified.
One of the principal reasons why the
average farmer wishes to live away
from the farm is the advan-
tages that the town offers their
children in an educational way. Other
reasons may be the avoidance of the
monotony of milking COWS, feeding
hogs. bothering with hired help, and
quite often physical breakdown on
account of too assiduous attention to
work.
Whatever causes may lead to the
REIMBURSEMENT of farm life for a res
1dence in the town, the truth is that
more than 80 per cent. of the success
ful tillers of the soil seek a resting
place away from the farm. The towns
afford greater comforts, a life of diff
ferent environment that increases
longevity and sweetens life in later
years. 1t may be that the rural tele-
phone, the rural free delivery, and late
innovations for home comforts on the
form may change the views of manv
as to residence in town being desir.
able, and curtail the movement from
the farm to the town. The charge is
often made that farmers who retire
and become residents of towns send
away money to the big city for goods
that they might as well have pur-
chased at home, and thus keeps the
town from advancing. This is not al
ways true. Those retired farmers gen.
erdlly become as much interested in
the trade and welfare Of the town "a
those engaged in business In II. In
fact, every farmer should feel that
tho local town IS important to him
and that 1t is to his interests to haln
advance it in importance.

THE TOY ARTIST.
A Mechanical Figure Which Displays
Great Ingenuity.

The mechanical toy shown in the
accompanying illustration is one OF
the most original and ingenious
things of it's kind that have recently
appeared. Within the base upon
which the "artist" and his easel are
placed and Immediately below the fig
ure, is small pinion operated by
worm at the end of the crankshaft
that is seen projecting through the
side of the base. The pinion, which
rotates in horizontal plane, is pro-
vided with couple of pins upon
which is placed one of the sets of re-
movable cams which accompany the
toy. The cams are double, being pro-
vided with two separate peripheral
edges, and each edge is engaged by
the short arm of a pair of levers,
as shown in the engraving.
The upper lever attaches at the
end of its long arm to vertical
shaft, which passes up through the
body of the figure and is pivotally at
tached to it's right arm at the shoul-
der. BY this means, says the Chi
cago News, the rotation of the cam
causes a vertical up and down move
ment of the arm and the drawing pen
Gil that it carries. The lower cam
operates system of levers, which
give a series of right and left move
ments.
1t is evident that, by giving the
proper relative contours to the two
edges of the cam the arm, with the
pencil that it carries, may be made
to trace any desired line upon the
paper, either vertical or horizontal.

THRIFT AND ECONOMY.
Right Thinking Necessary to Great.
est Success In Every Field Of
EndeaVor.

Economy is one of the essentials tc
success. It matters not how great
ones earnings may be, If there is no
pennies laid by, there will be no
counting of dollars to your credit.
From childhood children should be
taught lessons of thrift, and the value
of saving. There is a difference be-.
tween economy and stinginess. There
b an excess which defeats the aim,
and is the cause of loss and misery.
That economy which prevents the
farmer from spending money to prop
erly house his stock during the win
ter, is paradoxical. It is saving of
dollars and the loss of dollars by the
saving. That so-called economy
which prevents the consuming of fuel
in winter, which results in a cold
house and sickness in the family, and
perhaps death, is niggardly stingi-
ness, which is criminal. It is the saw
ing of a few dollars in the coal bill,
and paying perhaps hundred or more
to the doctor or the undertaken. There
is no economy in cheap things gen.
orally. A bit of machinery that is
needed about the farm should be the
best. A cheap, poor moving machine
from some mail order house may
break down when it is needed the
most, and a result is the loss of tons
of hay several times the value of a
good machine. Poor articles wear out
rapidly, and are likely to give out
at time when most needed, and are
a continual source of expense. A poor
breed of stock is another illustration.
Poor, bony horses eat more than we'll
bred ones, and the latter always find a
ready sale, while the raw-bones cannot
be disposed of at any price. The same
with hogs, sheep, and all classes of
domestic stock. A poor lot of ami
mails should be gotten rid of as soon
as possible. They are expensive and
it is poor economy to keep them.
It is in looking after the saving of
a penny and being blind to the dollar
that could be gained that is the trou-
BILE with many. Savages have no
idea Of economy. They cannot fore
go small pleasure for a greater one
a little farther off. It is the ability
to think out these matters that makes

barian. Think! Don't get tired of
using the reasoning brain that a good

improvement.

Among the many plans devised to
further the interests of small towns
and cities, and which has proved most
successful, is the commercial clubs in
which all business men of the commu-
nifty cooperate for the common good.
Organizations of this class are al
most a necessity in any town where
harmony is desired among the differ
ent business classes in the carrying
out of plans for town improvement,
securing the enterprises of various
kinds and the general good of all in
the community. There is no reason
why these clubs in their membership
should be confined to the residents of
the town. The farmers in the neigh
borhood are as deeply interested in
the success of town enterprises as
are the business men of the place, or
at least they should be. For what
will help along the town towards pros
perity will also help the farmer.
In many localities there is a senti-
ment that the interests of the farm
er and the business men are not par
allel. It is necessary that this feel
ing be obliterated as far as possible
because there is no logical foundation
for 1t. The better the town is the bet
ter the local market for the farmers
produce; the more equitable will be
taxation and the better educational ia.
cilities. All these are matters that
concern the farmer in the immediate
neighborhood of the town. Many
business men feel that a membership
in clubs organized for promotion of
two industries should be confined to
business men; that perhaps the farm
er would not be in accord with resi-
dents of the town in matters of public
improvements. This is an error. a
lack of confidence in the good judg-
ment of the average farmer, who will
generally realize how important the
home town is to him, and all his neigh
bors. Then the farmer sometimes
thinks that he is not welcome in an u.s.
sociation of business men, perhaps be-.
cause he has never been invited to
take part in meetings held to discuss
matters pertaining to town affairs.
There is no good reason why these
sentiments should exist. It is only
by harmonious pulling together Of
the residents of the rural districts and
the business men that the greatest
good can be brought about for the
home town.
