unbToken rim of peaks encircling around it;

around the cabin in the evenings, and there was

larger ones whose tracks often saw the trail.
In addition to these couple of pOrcupines helped
keep me from becoming lonesome, by using va
rious means to find way into the cabin at
night

been my custom to carry gun in so-caIled west

the north view of the cabin, and constant watch

she had chance to look around, did she feel the
slightest longing to retrace her steps. While she

farmers can use the newspapers:

There is no need of an extensive
advertising campaign. All that is nee
essary is small display advertisement
in the newspapers of the nearest large
city. And in writing the ad the farmer
should not be bashful about having his
name easily seen. Let him advertise

or whatever Smith has to sell. DO it
in manner that will leave the impress
sion that Smith is proud of his cab
bages, that he knows them to be ND

stands back of them. People will more
readily buy of a man when he stamps
his name on his goods in a manner
which shows that he is not afraid to
be known as their sponsor. Further
more, it is good business, for If people
