All farm buildings should be- sup

cost Is small and the convenience
great Many n farmer is carrying
water year after year not only for his
stock hut for the use Of the family
when the water should be always AT

the lifelong habit of the farmer, which
he does not SEQ the advantage OF

he despised. He went to the end in
view in direct line. ruthlcssly throw
ing aside any obstruction, physical or
moral, that hinderrd.
Such a man arrives invariably. He
is not to be denied. But he blunders
often. He arouses in some natures an
instructive antagonism-a latent OBJ
stinacy-that arrays itself against him
quietly but determinedly. He makes
an enemy when he might have made
a friend.
For example. Locke has made up his
mind that an American, a man Of his
own university, could not in the nature
OF things be a coward. Very well, he
offers him his friendship in blind
faith. But presently this man inter-
feres with his plans-goes his way
without consulting the newly acquired
friend. When, therefore, circumstances
place this acquaintance in an ugly
light he Is quite as ready to believe
the bad as he had been ready to be-
lieve the good.
In word. Locke imagined that he
had done more than his duty In of1er-

When he made up his mind that this
friendship anu confidence Yves not re-

 Coming down to actual figures, how ever, the wind is not such a speedy traveller after all, says the Boston Transcript. The month of March more than any other in the year has a windy record, so the figures supplied by the local weather bureau station for the month will do to illustrate the fallacy of the expression

WEALTH IN SANDS OF OCEAN.
Cheap Mining the Problem That Has
 to Be Faced.

From Shasta to San Diego, all the way along the shores of the Pacific ocean there is gold in the black sand which, for the greater part of the length of the state, underlies the gray and yellow sand Of the beach This has been known to mining men for a score of years or more, but ever since they found it out they have been com pletely bafIled in all efforts to get it.
 The values in the sand are low, not more than 25 cents per ton, and the sea washes heavily over all manner of structures which are set up on the beach to separate the sand from it's gold. These were the two principal obstacles to be overcome: To find a storms of winter and the tides of summer and at the same time be deli cate enough to draw the gold from the black mass of the beach
 At last, however, the riddle has been solved, despite the wrecking of one of the plants with which the work was commenced, and recent cleanup of one days run of 1000 tons of black sand paid s200 over and above all ex- penses The full value of the gold in the sand, could it have been entirely removed. would have been s250, the actual amount taken out was about S235 worth, making the cost of hand ling that 1000 tons of sand a trife more than three cents ton, the cheapest mining yet known to man.
