MARCHERs AND STRAGGLERS.
Town Philosopher Gives Some Hints
 as to How 10 Succeed In Business


 s'No matter what business you may be in" remarks the town philosopher. unless you keep up with the proces. sion you'll never arrive. StraggIers don't count in business They can't pick up enough scraps dropped by the real UarGSas tO keep them going for the fellows who are in the van don't drop anything They make q clean sweep.
 .,l he stra ggler in the mercantile line for Instance, is the slipshod storckeep CT who tries to do business in 1907 by methods that went out of date in 1877. He still has small panes of glass in his front windows. about sixteen panes 10 8 sash, while the merchant up the street who marches in the van has ac ccpted the plate glass window propoSi- ton as g good thing. Plate glass cost lots Of money thirty years ago. but to- day it Is quite cheap and most any body can buy tt It adds several per .eent 10 thcsrxterior attraction of ;, gstorc. and it's the outside that any GUS toner sees before he sees the insiGc. you know.
 'grhese same stragslers who retain their antique window panes still em ploy the methods Of - in their adyer- tising, They carry about an inch of space in the local paper, merely men tionins that Smith X Jones have full stock Of fine groceries, when tue other grocer takes half column double ani advertlses right by publishing q price listsot his hesa bargains for the day. or the week.
 "Who gets the patronage of the peo- pie? Is it the grocer with the fly specked window panes of past gen' eration and the inch ad that has stood in the same. type so long that the let ters are worn of at the corners like n run down shoe heel, or is it the man whose errand boy washes the plate glass windows every morning at | o'clock and then carries the new copy for the weeks advertising around to the newspaper Office?
 ."As remarked" concluded the town philosopher. if you don't keep up with the procession you won't get there

The work OF securing the fodder
crops and the corn crop should have
constant attention whilst the weather
keeps good We hope soon to see an
end of the old practice Of leaving the
fodder wasting in the fields and turn
ing the stock amongst il TO still furth-
err render it yalueless, and at the same
time make the land unfit for working
by punching it into holes to hold
water and mud. Every bit of feed
made should be saved. II has cost
time and labor to make 1t, and large
part OF the value OF every crop grown
lies in securing the same in such
condition that Il will make good feed
for stock. In the corn crop. nearly
half the value is in the fodder, and
TO waste this by leaving II in the
field to bleach and blow away is Grim
inal negligence. No farmer can reas-
onably expect TO be successful who
neglects to save every part of his
corn crop, and he does not deserve to
succeed with such negligence. No
business man who would so conduct
his business could keep out Of the
bankruptcy court The high price Of
corn and all other feed makes IL dou-
bly, imperative on every farmer to
save and utilize his long feed Cattle
especially must have bulk as well as
quality in the feed, and this can only
be secured by utilizing the fodder and
Etalks. Hay is selling at high price
and. in our opinion. is likely to con-
tinue to do so through the winter
the crop being only little larger
than that of last year. with the quail
ity not so good generally Fodder and
fodder crops should be made to take
the place of hay in stock feeding and
the hay can then be made a market
crop. Good, well-secured fodder is
as good feed for stock as timothy
hay and will make quite as good re-
turns in milk or meat, and especially
is this where it is finely shredded.
Eyery farmer should, If possible, have
a shredder or hire one to cut up his
fodder and straw. In many sections,
huskers and shredders are now being
taken around from farm to farm like
threshing machines, and they ought
to be patronized by farmers so as to
ensure a continuance OF facilities for
putting the fodder into the best shape
for storing and feeding. A large crop
Of corn stalks and fodder can be
put into small space when shredded
II not thoroughly cured out when
shredded, cut up some dry wheat or
oat straw and mix with the shredded
fodder when storing in the barn, and
this will ensure its keeping in good
condition.

the French minister declared that !" it
is the king pleasure that Captain Cook
shall be treated as a commander of a
neutral and allied power, and that all
captains OF armed vessels, etc, who may
meet that famous navigator, shall make
him acquainted with the kings order
on tais behalf. ="
In like manner our representative Ii
Paris, Ben. Franklin, says in his in
struetions that Captain Cook IS to be
shown every respect, and be permitted
to pass unattached On account Of the
benefits he had conferred on mankind
through his important discoveries. Such
a tribute TO a man 5 value 10 the world
we do not recall. and certainly Il was
an honor 10 the nations by whom il
was conferred. When the news of his
death reached Europe it is recorded that
the Empress Of Russia expressed a
most deep concern at the loss Of Cap
tain Cook She was the most sensibly
affected from her very partial regard
70 his merits -
There are very few personal touches
in the sources from which the biog-
raphv Is drawn. for the man seems 20
have been so absorbed in bis work as
TO lose sight of himself. but we have a
glimpse of him as "a boy which seems
70 reveal the secret Of his success. Dur
ing the intervals Of his early voyages
as a seamsln in the eoasting trade. he
lived nj the house Of the man 10 whom
he was apprentieed- He made great
friends with Mr.. Walkers housekeeper.
Mary Prowd, from whom he obtained
the concession of a table and light in
a quiet corner. where he might read and
write in peace. Almost the only other
personal touch Is in connection with
this same woman. For when ne return
ed from his first voyage, the old house
keeper chad been carefully instructed
that a Commander in His Majesty 5
Navy was a very different person from
one Of her masters apprentices, and
that he must be received with al the
marks Of respect due 70 his rank She
