READING is OF IMPORTANCE
No Man Can Successfully Conduct His
Farm Without Keeping Himself
Posted on Events.
(By G. H. ALFORD.)

No man can conduct a farm Of any
hind as a farmer should conduct a
farm, without reading. The lawyer
who does not read the decisions Of
the various courts cannot succeed at
his profession. The newspaper man
will certainly fail If he does not read.
The merchant, the banker, the doc
tor, the teacher, fhe mechanic must
all keep abreast of the times or else
they will soon find themselves with
out Jobs or following some one In their
business who does read. The farmer
must read the results Of the expert
mept stations on the preparation Of
soil, the kind of seed to plant, the
proper mode Of cultivating the vari-
Gus crops, ETC., If he expects to sue,
coed. The man who does not read
often pays $40 per bushel for second
rate seed, n dollar apiece Cor or
binary fruit trees and SO on. The

One afternoon they went for a row

struggling in the water.
Mad with terror, she threw her
arms around his valiant neck, almost
strangling him. But he was deter

he struck her twice, making her un'
conscious, and thus enabling him to
save her.
She was carried to her room, and
next day, when Harvey called, this
note was handed to him:
