be able to sell for $40 a cell, a

employment to somebody. Do not
kick on every proposed improve

The mortgage is IA self-support-

dollars when grain is cheap as
when grain is dear. 1t is not eff
fected by the drouth. 1t is not
drowned out by heavy rains. 1t
never winter kills. Late springs
and early frosts never trouble it.
1t grows nights, Sundays, rainy
days and holidays. 1t brings a
sure crop every year and some
times twice a year. 1t produces
cash every time. 1t does not have
to wait for the market to advance.
1t is not subject to speculations
of the bulls and bears on the
board of trade. 1t is a load that
gals and frets and chafes.
1t is a burden that the farmer
cannot shake off. 1t is with him
morning, noon and night. 1t eats
with him at the table. 1t gets un-
der his pillow when he sleeps, 1t
rides upon his shoulders during
the day. 1t consumes his grain
crops. 1t devours his cattle. 1t
selects the finest horses and the
fattest steers. 1t stalks into the
dairy where the busy housewife
tolls day after day and month at
ter month, and takes the incest
cheese and the choicest butter,
1t shares the children's bread and
robs them of their clothes. 1t
stoops the toiler's back with the
remorseful burden of care. 1t hard
