Not an Impressive Showing.

Doesn't make a very impressive show
ing for a year of hard work. does it? By
strict economy and with good fortune as
to health we might have remained in
town and saved as much as the figures
show we have gained.
But there are two highly important
asset items which are not included in
the table, for the simple reason that
know of no way of reducing them to
dollars and cents One of them is the
increased fertility Of my land, and the
other is the experience ] have gained.
The increased fertility Is a really tan
gible asset, to which an agricultural
expert no doubt could give an approx
mate money appraisement. l used a
lot of stable manure and commercial
fertilizer last year, only a small part
of the value of which / took back in
crops. I will continue to get value
from it for years to come.
Besides, l grew a winter cover crop
of crimson clover and COW peas, which
added both nitrogen and humus to the
soil. two elements sadly lacking. and
which still further increases its fer
tility, and this spring have applied
the winters accumulation of stable and
chicken manure. 1 think any practical
farmer would regard $25 an acre as a
conservative estimate of the increased
agricultural value of the land. AS this
applies only to four of my eight acres,
it would add an item of 800 to the as
set column.

Value Of Experience.

When 1t comes to putting a cash
value on my experience. am all at sea.
If it can be appraised at all it will
have to be on the basis of the increased
results I obtain this year. With six
acres under cultivation, if I can get an
increased return from them of $25 an
acre, it would make my experience
worth $3.50 in cash this year. That,
however, is pure speculation. I don't
believe the most expert of experts
could tell how much a years experience
on farm is worth to prospective
farmer. So much depends on the man
and the extent of his prospective farm
ing operations.
Before writing this I discussed the
subject with Capt. Russell at the office,
who is farmer, and a successful one
and with Mr.. Brown. my neighbor, who
is about the most prosperous farmer in
our ne1ghborhood. They agreed in this
opinion:
II I broke even on my first year as a
farmer l was doing mighty we'll. lot
better than ! had any reason to ex-
pect.
/ was a good deal heartened by this
joint opinion of two practical and ex-
Derienced men. and / know l am enter
ing on my second year with a great
deal more confidence. arising from a
better understanding of what to do
and how to do it.
My answer, therefore, liz ives" to the
query as to whether 1t has paid; though
I'll admit the wages I derived from a
lot of hard work were more those of a
day laborer than Of government clerk.

Health an Important Factor

Another question that has been asked
several times, boiled down, would be:
Have you derived the expected benefits
in improved health?
There is no difficulty in deciding on
an answer to that question. 1t Is an
emphatic Yes"
One of the reasons, the impelIine
reason. for our moving to the country
was that Margery was SO delicate we
feared she might not live. l suppose,
to be exact, there is no such thing as
a 100 per cent Improvement in health,
but Mar2erys improvement is as near
100 per cent az mathematical nicely
will allow it to be. l don't believe a
healthier or sturdier little girl of four
years is to be found in this or any
other country. II you arc going to put
that benefit on cash basis, you can
make it million dollars. or billion
dollars. or any other sum that strikes
your fancy.
James health, too. is better She
hasn't had one of her sick headaches
for months. Also-and this is strictly
confidential-she has gained nearly
thirty pounds in weight. 1t undoubt-
eddy is true that she works harder thu n
she used to in the fiat, but a great deal
Of her work is in the open air, and she
says she enjoys it. l know that she
sings now as she goes about her work,
something she rarely did In the old
days.
There never was much the matter
with the health of Jim and Ned, SO l
can't claim a great deal for them on
that score. But they are sturdier than
they used to be, and have lot more
pep and ginger.

Among stories Of examinations,
those that are most popular with the
students are told at the expense OF the
examiners. We have two capital ones
at Edinburgh.
According to the first, an examiner
had made himself obnoxious by warn
Ing the students against putting their
hats on his desk. The university in
the Scottish capital is remarkable for
a scarcity of ClOakrOOms, and, I'm the
excitement of examination, hats are,
or used TO be, flung down anywhere.
The examiner announced one day
that If he found another on his desk
he would rip it up Next day no
hats were laid there when the students
assembled. Presently, however, the
examiner was called out of the room.
Then some naughty Undergraduate
slipped from his seat, got the eX-
aminer's hat and placed it on the desk.
When the examiner returned to the
room every eye was fixed on him. He
observed the hat, and a CLEAN Of
triumph shot across his face.
Then he took his penknife from his
pocket, opened it, and blandly cut the
hat i'm pieces, amidst loud and pro-
longed applause.
They do say that there were other
examiners in the room at the time
who could have warned him had they
chosen.
