THREE CURSES OF A POOR MAN.
tDes Moines Capital.1

tDes Moines Capital.l
There are three distinct curses which
blight the life Of many a man who
otherwise would get on in the world.
The first curse is drink. which
wastes his money and whether he be-
comes a drunkard or not, has a mean
effect upon his life.
The second is politics, in the sense
that many men who address him from
the stump tell him that If he does not
get on in the world and secure a home.
political conditions are to blame and
tina. he is not to blame. Thus he
learns to place his failures on political
conditions and makes less effort than
he otherwise would.
The third is speculation. Thousands
Of industrious men, when they save
money put it into some worthless
speculation. He is told that it is a
saving and putting small amounts out
a. interest, and thus he becomes a
Spectator. Not being suited to the
Of the sucker instead Of the pro-
moter. he loses his investments and
becomes an unhappy man. cursing God
ana society.
These are the stories OF many lives.
Every man ought to know. as ne
will known in the end. that if he has
good health and does not get on in
the world and accumulate something,
he alone is to blame. The emporium
ity has been before him.
The best helper in any mans life IS
a good wife. In this respect the poor
mar should know what he is doing
when he makes his selection. A good
wife puts hope into the heart OF a
man and inspires hin to do his best:
she assists him to save money and
sets the example herself.
At this Christmas time the young
fellow who wants 70 get on in the
world might take some OF these sug-
gestions 10 heart.

Most people cherish some desires

TO the extent hat these desires exert

when the desire to be made much of in
death springs from vanity, as gener-

of such ambition and the folly OF seek

In almost any lot of hogs brought to

ARE by feeding on by-products OF

Cost Of Keeping Farm Machinery.

Cost Of Keeping Farm Machinery.
Tho depreciation IN the value Of
farm machinery should always be
figured In the cost Of harvesting a
crop. Since the average life Of farm
machinery is about ten years. this de-
probation should be figured al 10 per
cent Of the value OF the machine each
year. Professor Ramsower, Of the
Ohio station points to the corn har-
vester as an example Of the cost Of
depreciation. 1t Is figured that the
mar who purchases a corn binder will
cut at least forty acres Of corn each
year. The binder will cost about 1920
and lasting ten years will make the
cost Of the machine ST. each year Dr.
viding s12 by the forty acres harvested
the cos per acre for the use Of the
corn binder will be 80 cents. While
these figures are only averages, they
are nearly correct and show the meth
cd of estimating the cost Of the use OF
farm machinery. exclusive Of the labor
required to operate them. This cost
made known, emphasizes the import
ance of getting the farm machinery
under cover. for Zach year Its life is
shortened increases the cost OF Its use.
