1t is natural that the mar who gives
himself away should feel cheap.
The mar who milks a few COWS has
his harvest money coming in all win
ter.
A great deal of interest is being
manifested these days In the small
farm.
Saying the wrong thing is misfor-
tune; but trying to explain 1t Is dis
aster.
A COW test association is one of the
best guarantees of success In the dairy
business.
A roll or two of tar paper helps

! Is not a sign that a man is lazy
just because he has comfortable seats
on his farm implements.
A barnyard full Of stock is q much
surer sign of prosperity than a well
, worm road to the elevator.
When an employee really knows
more than his employer he knows
enough not to boast Of 1t.
The man who does things makes
many mistakes, but he never makes
the biggest mistake Of abiding moth
ing.
AS long as the consumer demands
beefsteak and is willing to pay for 1t,
the farmer Is foolish to try to sell him
cornmeal.
Bill Smith knew a thousand reasons
why he should be honest; but one day
he couldn't think Of a single one of

One nan takes his work as a stone
around his neck and sinks to failure.
Another takes 1t as a stepping stone
and mounts to success.
The temptations In business are 80
great that 1t demands the highest type
Of conscience, the clearest brain, and
the most genuine manhood that can be
enlisted.
1t never pays for a mar to figure ont
why he should be satisfied with him.
self. His totals are apt to be wrong,
either because he uses the wrong mul.

MAKE THE FARM BEAUTIFUL
BY Foresight and Management Proper
Care of Lawn Need Not Inter
fere With Routine Work.
tBy ]. BAILEY BRucE.O

Given a chance to select between 4
handsome house and barns with a
neglected lawn and shrubbery and a
very plain set of buildings in the
midst Of grounds embellished with
trees, plants and shrubbery, who
would not prefer the latter?
An attractive lawn Is a paying in
vestment and adds to the value of
the farm property. Home means
more to the whole family when it is
surrounded by the beautiful things of
nature. The study Of plants, trees
and flowers is educational, uplifting
and broadening, while the co-opera-
tive work of identifying the home
binds the whole family more closely
together.
By foresight and management the
care of the lawn and shrubbery need
not interfere with or interrupt the
other operations Of the farm. One
attractive country home is far-reach-
ing in its effect on the neighborhood.
Others will see the effect and follow
the example.
Every set Of farm buildings and
location presents a different problem
but there are certain principles that
should be observed in planting the
lawn and the shrubbery. Trees and
s%hrubbery should be grouped so that
they will bring into view desirable
objects and obstruct views Of unde-
sirable objects. Aim to have a. good
view from every window In the house.
Plan to have the evergreens grouped
SO that they will afford wind-breaks
for the house, barns and o1t-buildings
and afford protection for tho small
fruit. Few farmers realize the infu-
ence of wind-breaks in modifying the
temperature Of either cattle yards and
feed lots. There are few more con-
vincing arguments In favor Of plant
ing ~windbreaks than to observe the
punches Of little calves and pigs hud-
died OF the sunny side of a wind
break during the sunny days of early
spring and fall.
There are various kinds Of grasses
and shrubs and trees that are adapted
to every kind of soil and climate and
in each locality there is an opportu.
nifty to select hardy grasses, shrubs and
trees that have a wide range of color
habit and character Of growth and
time Of blossom. There is much tc
be said about the selection and dis
tribution of varieties, but our purpose
here is to make a plea for an interest
in making an attractive lawn ant
identifying our farm homes.

Emerson,s Story of Gratitude.

There is a beautiful little story In
Emerson's recently published Jour
nails" of which his son, the editor,
DR.. Edward W. Emerson, said the poet
was very proud.
A certain widow was so poor that
she eked out the one thin bed cover
ing by laying an old door over herself
and her children.
Mamma" one of the children said
one bitter night, what do those poor
little children do who haven't got a
door to cover them?"-Youth's Com

Keep a Scrap Book.

Every farmer ought to have a scral
book and clip out articles containing
valuable information and paste them
in 1t. The articles may be pasted un-
der special heads. The book may be
divided into dairying, poultry, orchard,
swine, and as many other depart
ments. A valuable library will soon
be the result of the scrap book.

A London paper prints an article
from the ladies' treasury of 1866, in
which a prize is offered for the woman
with the smallest waist in proportion
to her size. A silk dress was the first
prize and a gold watch second prize.
In the school in which the prize was
offered by the principal the pupils
