FARM BURROWS.
Farmer and stock man.

Nothing gives the old world such
black eye as a place for home y /

A really pretty woman does no

Overmuch economy, my dear man,
is As great a burden as poverty; and
it is sinful, because it is self-imposed
land without excuse,
! Mrs. Williams says that when she
thought to use old Bill as a sort Of
pack horse he just opened his mouth
and proved himself donkey. ~"

power Of character behind the thrown
he will always get on his feet again.
A little ground feed in the feed box
at milking time will bring the cows
from the pasture at the right time
without hurrying or worrying them.
1t is cheaper and better than keeping
a dog for this purpose.
Keep right up. with the times, my
friends, and don't rear back in the
harness and have to be crowded along
by the breeding straps. Always
show the wear of the harness on the
shoulders and not back of the TANKS.
The pastures that received coat
of manure last fall and winter are
already showing the effects. If the
manure spreader can help US bring
old pastures back on paying basis it
has put whole bunch of feathers in
its cap.
Quite good many men are real
sure that if Diogenes had only come
around by their stand with his little,
old horn lantern his search would
have been over and the poor old cod
ger could have gone home to his tub
and gone to bed in peace.
When the young calves are first
turned out of the barn they should be
watched the first few days to see that
they learn to find the shade. Sum
shine is a good thing for all young
animals, but from now on both man
and beast will seek the shade occa-
sionally.
There is no doubt but what light
ming rods will do the work they are
supposed to do if they are put up
right, and if it had not been for the
sharpers who sold "hot air for light
ming rods years ago the real lightning
rods would be found on nearly every
house and barn now.
Improving this old world is an up
hill business. Elderly people, looking
upon the young folks of the new gem
GRAFTON are apt TO think that the prog
ress is downward. From the Begin
ming of time l suppose the young
folks have failed to satisfy all the
ideals of the older people. Maturity
Of years is supposed to bring with it
a settled steadiness of character in
which the frivolities of youth are laid
aside. Those frivtities then are apt
to be looked upon as sinful and de-
generate and the tendency is hence
forth to forget ones own participa-
ton in them in the past, or to lament
it. 1t is not good to forget that once
upon time we were young and jolly.
The generation coming on is pretty
good one, just about AZ good one as,|
we old folks could beGet and bring
up, and, to my notion, they are quite
apt to do a little better than we have
done, my grouchy beloved.
II may be all right to let the cows
run on the grain fields a few days
