FARM HINTS.

Help to organize rural life and
make the country better place in
which to live.
The problem that confronts the
farmer next in Importance to distri-
button is diversifcation.
Agriculture has gone through two
thousand years of evolution and is
still in an experimental stage.
Over production is the stumbling
block, and systematic marketing the
stepping-stone of agriculture.
It is the duty of every farmer to
see that his wife is supplied with
every equipment to Tighten her Ia
bors.
To eliminate waste and inefficiency
in marketing, the farmer should keep
in close touch with market condi-
tons.
The problem Of marketing is the
biggest business proposition of any
age or nation and one that will re-
qllire the combined efforts of all the
agencies of civilization to solve.

a time, however, when Brands chest
had swelled with pride because Of this

him with comradeship. Failing Of
athletic honors himself, it meant much
to Brand-the friendship Of these
men; Reynolds, the slashing half back,
who was terror to the lines CT the
strongest teams, and Dalton. the great
est quarter Of his day. AS he glanced
at Reynolds now, Brand saw some
thing that recalled all this. He read
in his hosts face surprise and per-
haps disdain for the yelled slight. So
he asked in less scornful tone:
why. what made you think Of
him?"
