A great many farmers are like the
Timber Jack who. after working hard
all winter in the woods without seeing
the face of any human being except
his fellow workmen, came out in the
spring with his seasons wages intact
in his pocket
After two weeks of drunkenness and
debauchery he woke up one morning
with % cents in his pocket, the last
cent he had. Walking into saloon,
he threw the coin on the bar, ordered
two drinks and quickly disposed OF
them.
"All in?" said the barkeeper.
"Yis, yis," said Jack; mo matter,
aisy come, aisy CO." and he walked out
to join gang back to the woods

Many farmers operate on Jacks plan
In regard to the use of their valuable
machinery. They work hard to get the
money to buy plows, reapers and other
labor-savers, and then deliberately
squander their savings by leaving their
machinery to be destroyed by the
weather.
On one farm the writer saw at least
$500 worth of machinery which had
been rendered practically useless
within two years by exposure to the
weather. A fine reaper which was only
three and a half years old was left
standing after the last wheat cutting,
and is already SO rusted and warped
and weather.beaten that it can never
again be used.

to good food even to think of serving

out the broiler, set it beside the dish.

vowed they had new, a singularly
fine flavor, somewhat approaching
that of a roasted chestnut. They
praised the ashland ate in a way

The first refined beet-root sugar
produced in commercial quantity was
made about 100 years ago. at a cost
of approximately 80 cents pound.
The cost of producing cane sugar was
then somewhat higher than that OF
beet sugar.
The amount of raw sugar extracted
from the beet at that time varied
from 4 to per cent, and the amount
of refined sugar obtained was from 1
20 2 per cent Of the weight of the
beet.
The cost of producing an, acre OF
beets was estimated at approximately
335, while the yield was from 6 to rs
CONS per acre.
