oW to Tie Wool.

Do not tie your wool with sisal or binder twine. Woolen manufacturers are up in arms against this practice, and are more and more refusing to ac- cept from wool dealers wool tllat is tied with sisal t,r binder twine, and the time has come when the buyer of wool must discriminate against this kind of twine, for the reason that i'll untying the feeces it is impossible to remove sisal or binder twine without leaving some of the fibre in the woo, and this causes q defect in the goods when made to the annoyance and eX. pense of the woolen manufacturers who has has to put such pieces of cloth among his defective goods
 In Ohio the tying mp of tags in a fleece of wool is a criminal offense, and if discovered is punishable by i'm prisonment or fine, or both at the dis cretion of the judge trying the offense.
 It is i'll the power of the wool grow CTS to improve the value of their wool by proper tying and tagging, using the hard-twisted twine instead of the loose bound, wiry sisal. It is barely possi- ble that the wool dealers and manu- lecturers will refuse to accept wool tied with sisal except at discount from a merehantable ptice.-Southern Cultiyator

 We judge tree by its fruits. This is scriptural and therefore it is the very essence Of truth and good sense. If a man points out to you a peach or an apple tree in your orchard and tells you the tree is worthless; that it will not bear good fruit nor much Of yield. but if year by year that tree goes on budding and blooming in season and at the right time bringing forth rich. luscious peaches or mellow delicious apples, as the case may be. you will wisely judge the tree by it's fruits and not by what this man has told you, or listen to similar tales from other people. In other words, be just to the tree and judge it by what 1t shows for Itself, not by what people say.

There are three things in the horses make up-the breed, the raising and the training-that it pays to look aft. CT. Any one of these, neglected, spells the horse; any two of them omitted, and you have beast not worth the room he takes up in the world, but all of them neglected pro to itself nor to anybody. Sometimes creatures who call themselves farmers neglect all three of these 5h3ngs; many neglect two of them, and some. one of them. and yet get along pretty well; but it is the pattern farmer who looks well to all of them. and he wins success for his trouble

EQUITY IN BUSINESS.
Practice of Live-and-Let-Live PrInci-
 pies Most Desirable.

Too frequently it is noticed that In the struggle to attain wealth the rights of the individual are ignored. Fair dealing is a desirable thing as we'll as most simple and it requires only common honesty to practice it. Not alone is there honesty involved in the matter of selling but also in the matter of buying It is quite as dishonorable for the purchaser to ex- act that the seller receive no profit on an article sold as it is for the seller to demand an exorbitant price for his goods.
 There is much sound philosophy in the live-and-let-live gospel. This is nothing more than an observance of the Golden Rule that has found ex- pression in all ages of enlightenment from the time of Gautama down to the present. In every day dealings 1t is apparent that there is too much of exaggerated selfishness in evidence, too great a struggle for the vantage. There should be a spirit of Christian cooperation that would be just to all alike Whole communities suffer sometimes from the lack of this sense of equity on the part of merchants and their customers.
 How often is the complaint heard In rural districts that the storekeepers of a town charge too high prices for what they have to sell? How often is it noticed that where this feeling dom mates the people that the home town suffers as consequence? It Is short sightedness on parts of mer- chants to require of their customers more than what may be considered a legitimate and just profit. In fact, it is poor business policy to follow out plan of this kind. There are many towns whose growth has been pre- vented through a grasping tendency of the merchants to make all they pos ] sibly can in few short years, and to give the people as small an amount of 1 goods as they will take for their money. The natural result of pol icy of this kind is that the people seek other towns in which to do their trading and quite often buy from the 1 distant mail-order house.
 Habits once formed are hard to break It is quite as difficult for the merchant to recover from the habit of making exorbitant profits as it is for the patron of the mail-order house to turn his trade to the home stores. Should both the merchants and their customers calmly consider principles that enter into commerce, and both determine to practice equity in their dealings, the merchant to sell honest goods at honest profits and the GUS toner to give patronage to merchants who would practice this principle, 1t would be wholesome not alone for the home towns, but for all the com munities.

There is hardly first-rate farm in all the South that would not be bet ter off if it had a few stands of bees. These tireless little workers are of vast benefit as polenizers among many plants, and there is something about the home with bees near it that the home without these little friends never seems to possess.

wanted to have it run over again; but
as half the autos We're out of business
through colliding with one another in
their run down the hill, frankie lost
out and was forced to abide by the de-
cisiun. The winner Of the race held a
cigar nearly a s big rs himself between
his teeth during the race, because he
had seen Barney OldGeld in the same
pose at the ting of his runs here.

years old lined the DoWney avenue hill
to see the races. and young watts was
