the vegetables according to the time
honored recipes. Shultz looked after
putting the stuff into the jars. He had
very attractive labels printed. He
had his own ideas about advertising.
He put his name in large letters on
his labels and brought out prominent
ly the fact that the preserves were
homemade. we're of the purest of
goods and prepared with the greatest
of care. When he had a pretty fair
the town to sell them. Some he placed
in grocery stores, the grocers taking
them without any risk to themselves.
They were only to pay when they made
sales. After he had made fair dis
tribution through the grocers he went
from house to house. 1t was slow, te-
dious and dispiriting work. Many
time he had the door slammed in his
face. Occasionally he had a dog
sicked on him.
Once in a while he made a sale.
Many a night he returned home utter
ly worn out from carrying his samples
mile after mile through the city
streets. Sometimes people bought
from him and promised to pay at the
end of the week, and when he went
for his money he was put off with
some excuse or laughed at for his
folly. He made lots of mistakes and
once or twice lost heart, but his moth
er never did. Shultz and the two wom-
en- discussed affairs every night and
planned the program for the next day.
The women never complained, no mat
ter how many hours they put in over
the pots or how tired and worn they
were from the days labor. The old
woman was a philosopher. For every
situation she had a homely proverb.
Nine times out Of ten it was a cheer
full one.
Sales Began to Grow.
Shultz kept books as carefully as
if he were doing a large business. For
the first four months there was
loss. The bad debts he had made
more than overbalanced the small
profit that should have been his. Two
months later there was little to the
credit side of the ledger. The sales
in the stores began to pick up, for
some people began to see virtue in

MAY SAVE, THOUGH IT HURTS
Telling UnweIcome Truths Not Al.
ways Pleasant, Vet It May Be
Ones Duty to Do It.

Truth that is unpleasant is none the
less true. A minister was speaking
to parents on their responsibility for
the salvation of their children. He
spoke with the unsparingsfran- ness of
the gospel itself as he unhesitatingly
declared to his parent listeners that
unless the child-after coming to the
age of nsibility-believes on the
Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, that
child will not be with the parents be-
fore the Father in heaven. He went
on to say that this is truth that a
great many people do not like to hear.
He even added that those whom he
was addressing did not like to hear it..
But" said he, I'D rather stand here
and tell you something that you don't
like to hear, than stand up there and
face the charge that did not tell you
all that l should have told you"

saves.-Sunday School Times.

went to a printer and had a heart-to-
heart talk with him. AS a result,
he got credit for some advertising
matter that was sent into many homes.
He watched the store sales carefully,
to note the effect 1t was gratifying.
A little later, when he made some good
collections, he did daring thing. He
spent all his ready money in display
advertising in the home papers. In
each advertisement he told where his
goods were for sale, and he was not
stingy in the amount of black type he
we're pleased with this, and some of
them went out of their way to push
his product.
When the year closed Shultz had to
do some hard scratching to meet his
bills with the baker, the butcher, the
landlord, the drygoods man and the
others who had trusted him, but he
was able to pay every cent. The wom-
en- were hard-pushed to make up all
the stuff for which he had orders, so

gagged two girls to help them. He had
been compelled to pay cash for all
his supplies and make trips into the
country to buy his fruits and vegeta-
bles. AS his orders became larger the
farmers took confidence and were sat
isf1ed with monthly payments. Before
the second year closed his business
outgrew his home. He had to rent a
little building and hire more hands.
His wife and mother supervised the
factory. They were scrupulously neat,
and so intensely jealous of the good
name the preserves had won that they
had no hesitation in throwing away
anything that was not perfect. They
inspected every jar before it was sent
out, and watched over the kettles with
care that was remarkable.
Extended His Territory.
Some one suggested to Shultz that
there was a market outside the city
for his goods. He had been thinking
80 himself. A bright young man sent

could not help being impressed by the
great change, but somehow they never
were quite satisfied with the new Or
der of things.
One day the creditors of the old firm
of Hoffman, Gerhardt & Shutz got
| checks in their mail, together with a
note from the junior partner. He re-
called the promise he had made years
before. He was paying, he explained,
not ony his one-third with interest, but
the other two-thirds with interest, for
neither Hoffman nor Gerhardt had
prospered or seemed likely to be able
to pay.
1t is thirty-odd years since the firm
of Hoffman, Gerhardt & Shultz failed
and Shultz was so shocked that the
papers paid little attention to the hap
pening. 1t would be different matter
today if Shultz failed, for Shultz'
name is known the world over. His
business has spread until his factory
buildings cover many acres of ground
and his employees are numbered by
the thousands. He has farms in the
East, the South, the West, the North
and the middle West to furnish sup
plies for his great kettles. He has a
big glass works in which he makes his
own bottles. The volume of freight
he furnishes to the railroads each year
is immense. He is a millionaire many
times over. And he is as plain as an
al
$1,000 was the basis of his fortune,
he shows his respect in a way that is
unique. She has been dead some
years, but her sons Office is memo
rial to her. The windows and the
partitions are of stained glass and
on them are the homely proverbs the
good old German woman cheered her
son with in the days of darkness and
of struggle.

out speculatively got a number Of or.
ders. His territory was extended, and
then another travelling man was put
on the road. Their success proved
embarrassing. Shultz had to enlarge
his little factory and employ more
hands That part was simple, but it
was not so easy to obtain supplies,
The farmers Shultz had been patroniz-
ing could furnish so much and no
more. Making purchases in distant
cities was not always satisfactory.
Sometimes the fruits or vegetables
were not in condition, and the addi-
tional freight charges cut into the
profits. To protect himself Shultz first
rented a farm or two and devoted all
the land to the supplies he needed,
Later he bought these farms and 9TH
ers.
Success had its own perils and hand
leaps. Shultz came near being ruined
through the rapidity with which his
business increased, once it really be-
gan to expand in earnest. Hardly
would he complete one addition to his
factory when another would be need
ed, 1t costs money to build and it
takes years to get it back. The inter-
ruptions and the changes consequent
upon interminable rebuilding or ex-
tending of a factory affect the econom-
ical operation of a plant and the eff
cheney of the organization. Shultz
would have been pleased to take a
breathing spell, but competitors,
aroused by his growth, were agrees
sive. He had to go on or he would
lose the trade he had been spending
good money to gain. And to go on
he had to do some elaborate financing
that entailed the borrowing of a sum
that would, have seemed staggering
to him few years before.
Women Able to Retire.
With the expanding of the factory,
Mother Shultz and his wife no longer
worked at the kettles or acted as SUI
perintendents. Occasionally they
came in and looked about at the hun
dreds of men and women who had re-
placed them. Possibly the new house
Shultz built for them was not all their
hearts desired, for they loved to lin
ger about the great watts and caldrons
that had taken the place of the small
vessels they had employed. They

Dairying is the best paying factor in
diversified farming.
1t is not considered advisable to
milk COW right up to the time of
calving
The greatest success comes to the
dairyman who studies his business
most carefully.
Do not hesitate to pay round price
for a good registered sire. He will pay
for himself in short time.
The first growth of sorghum pro-
vides a valuable feed for cows during
periods of summer drought.
The proper equipment for running
dairy is in some respects as impor-
tant as the keeping of the right kind
of COWS.
If the nervousness of a COW is met
with loud talk or abuse it is sure to
result in a falling off in that cows
milk-production.
Be sure that the sire heading your
dairy herd will transmit dairy charac-
teristics. Remember that the sire is
mora than half the herd.
Variety in the dairy cows ration
adds a great deal to it's effectiveness,
making it more palatable. 1t is worth
while to give COWS feed they like.
In order to secure all of the cream,
milk must be kept sweet for IL hours
with the temperature as low as so de-
grees unless a separator is used.
