The Secret of Content.

If men today actually possessed the
acres on which they toll, they would
be in no hurry to leave them; they
would be effectively chained to the
soil by the sense of independence and
proprietorship, as is the case among
the rural population of France, who do
not rent but own the land.-W. j.

to visitors, and distribute type, and
carry water, and saw wood, and read
proofs, hunt the shears to write edi-
torials, and dodge the bills, and dun
delinquents, and take cussings from
the whole force, and tell our subscri-
bers that we must have money-we

Do More.

The man who makes the best pro-
gress is the man who does more than
he is told. Some men think they have
done their full duty when they per-
form certain routine work. They con-
slider that they are being paid fifteen
dollars week for fifteen dollars
worth of work-and they measure out
the correct amount with as much care
as the grocer measures out rice, put
ting in and taking out a few grains
until the scales balance.
But the progressive man goes about
his work with the spirit of the athlete
The satisfaction of accomplishing
feat, and the knowledge that with each
trial more skill is developed from
one of the best incentives to good
work. The athlete does not confne
his practice to certain number of
runs and jumps, but keeps at it until
he has achieved some greater degree
of skill than he ever had before. He
delights in attempting harder and
harder feats because it means more
and more skill.
Thus does the truly progressive man
love his work. He does not consider
that he is working merely for his sal
airy, nor for the house, but for him
self-for the development of his indi-
vidual capacity and skill. He delves
of things not required of him, because
he wants to gain power to do more
because that is the normal impetus of
progressive man.

posts out of the country should be

The number that has already been
shipped out is going to cause lots of
farmers, later on when they want to
fence their farms, to have them shipped
in from afar.

3: Plow deep, from eight to twelve
or more inches before the rainy sea-
son sets in.
4. Form level, fine surface after
blowing before leaving the field each
half day.
5. Renew the surface mulch as soon
after every shower as the soil is dry
enough to work without pudding.
6. Cultivate at intervals of from
two TO four weeks whether it does or
does not rain.
I. If the ground was plowed in the
fall, cultivate with light harrow as
early in the spring as possible, fol-
lowing this by deeper cultivation
when the soil has dried out somewhat
more deeply.
s. Sow or plant rather deeply with
machine that will deposit the seed
at an even depth in the moist soil be-
meath the surface dust mulch leaving
loose surface above.
9. After seeding cultivate at fire.
quent intervals, and as soon after
each rainfall as possible, suiting the

continuance to the crop and the con-
ditions prevailing.
10. Begin harvesting rather early
and remove the crop from the field
promptly.
IL. Use machinery of large ca
pacity.
II. Read and study books, bulle-
tins, magazines and periodicals deal

DoNT's.
l. Don't neglect details.
2. Don't expect heavy crops, but
make up for the yields by eultivating
extensive areas with machinery o1
large capacity.
3. Don't expect every year to be g
banner year; bad seasons will come.
4. Don't expect to succeed withou
deep plowing
5. Don't expect to succeed withou
frequent cultivation.
6. Don't SOW or plant thickly.
Don't be too quick to lay the blame
on the soil, or the weather, it may b'
