SOME FALSE ECONOMIES.

Some Of the worst blunders that are
made by tillers Of tie sol! and those
engaged in animal husbandry are the
result Of pracdcins shortsishted in!-
tial economies-the attempt to save IN
first cost followed By increased losses
later on To this class Of economies
belong the purchase Of scrub or cheap
grade sires for the dairy or beef herds.
the use Of poor seed on nigh priced
land when good seed costing 4 half
more would give three times the crop
return. the use Of wornout and dl!ap-
idated machinery and fools when
money would be made by the use OF
those new and up to date. the plod-
ding along in the same old rut in the
dairy without Babcock tester or cream
separator when money could be made
By the use Of both, the refusal to buy
q manure spreader or other labor sav-
ing devices which would make posi-
bic maximum utilization Of the vaTi-
Gus farm resources and. lastly. the
use Of the old. played out fue! vast
Ing stove and furnace when the Few
would do vastly better work ct mini
mum consumption OF fuel
This IS but partial list OF false
economies. but enough have been men,
toned to suggest profitable line OF
thought. This fault may be suuma-
rized in the statement that the trouble
lies in holding the copper OF nickel so
close to ones eye that 1t ruins ones

III. E;re4 Taste Of Discipline.

Admiral JHu-->., probably one Of the
tolliest seado- our navy ever knew.
once told an amusing story OF his
early days as cadet
II was sociablc younSSter, he
says, "and when I went to my first as
s;snment, the Independence. ard saw
the stars and stripes floating over It
remembered my mother had taught
me that my first duty was to the flag.
so l attempted some conversation on
this line with the executive officer who
had received me when came on board
and who was one Of the strcteSt disct-
plInarians IN the navy Of that day.

question, his tacc red with anger. 81
