Once he exchanged a word or two
with the uncle or guardian, he would
make it point to renew the acquaint-

1t appeared to him as a bright idea,
and he was rather proud of 1T. Even
now he was conscious of clenching his
teeth strongly. It's an old saying that
he goes farthest who shuts his teeth
longest. He was going to test the pre-
cept by immediate practice.
He had stood before the list fully
three minutes. Now he turned about
face, singular elation tingling his
blood. Once he set his mind upon a

GOOD FARMER USES BRAINS.

A good farmer studies his business
and is proud of his vocation. He
uses brains as well as manure in the
preparation Of his soil and has the
discretion to protect his grain from
weeds Just as the careful herder pro-
tects his flock from the wolves. For
ravenous animals are no more de-
structive to flock Of helpless sheep
than weeds are to the growing crops.
The condition of farm as regards
the presence on absence Of weeds
may be set down as an almost Ger
tain criterion or standard by which a
farmer may be Judged. This Is par
tfcularly true Of the farmer who has
managed or mismanaged a given
farm for a term Of years.-Pres. J.
Fl. Worst.
