Live stock is the keynote of the
Wadsworth system. Every tenant
keeps a small flock of sheep, a few
good double decker COWS, grade short
horns in most cases, and horses sufi-
cient to do his work Many Of them

handsome profits in colts each year.

WISE WORDS.

It takes more than good living to
make the good life.
No day is long enough to waste
any of it in nursing enmity.
The holy life is the one that is
healthy all the way through.
The unanswered prayer finds its
fruitage in the disciplined heart.
The man who is going to heaven
never tries to take up all the road.
No man is as good as he might be
who does not try to be better than he
can be.
No man needs our pity more than
he who is Indifferent to the sorrows
Of others.
It's always safe to deny the au-
thority of an opportunity that
thrusts itself in on a duty.
The steps downward are so many
and so small that men seldom recog-
nize the grade.
There is some moral disease pres
ent when the sight of another's hap
piness gives US pain.
1t is often worth while to do an
apparently fruitless act for the sake
of acquiring a helpful habit.
Idleness makes the hours YEARLY
long and the days woefully short.
He can never know any deep Joy
who can laugh at the sorrows Of an
other.
The proof OF an education lies in
a mind so titled that prejudices gain
no root.-From Sentence Sermons"
