a sort of feeling that this thing is go- ing to turn into a sermon before it's done,) how many times have you, dearly beloved, looked forward into to- morrow with apprehension and dread, only to find, when tomorrow became today, that the mountain was only mole-hill and your apprehension and dread were vain! The duties that you thought were going to exhaust you, were lighter than they looked; the obligations that threatened to swamp you, some how took care of themselves; the dark, shadowy spot across your path, that seemed to be an abyss yawn- ing at your feet, proved to be flower garden. You've had that experience, over and over again, if you've had any experience at all. We all have had it.
 And yet, while we are willing to ad- init that today's tribulations are less formidable than they looked to us yes terday. we are prone to keep on view ing tomorrow's troubles through magnifying glass, and forget that "the same everlasting Father who cares for us today will take care of us tomor- row and every day." In the very face of Gods providence, faith gives way to fear and doubt, and they breed melan- choly, mulligrubs, worry and blue devils.
 "The words of our text" are a safe and profitable maxim to take with us into tomorrow, and the next day, and every day. It's in line with the cheer ing sentiment expressed in homely verse by homely unknown poet:
 Don't give way to grim despair,
 But remember when you're glum,
 That the hardest things to bear
 Are the things that never come. "
 It's full of good, wholesome worldly as we'll as spiritual philosophy, and will help to make the frightened bur- dens of today even lighter; it will give us grace to endure the present disap- pointments and trials and perplexities that make it hard to do ones best-the that gall and chafe; the revelations of human nature that cause mans confidence in his fellow man to the treachery of false friend ship; the insolence of the upstart; the contemptibleness of the self-satis- fed egotist, and even the woful insuffi- ciency of ones own self. It will help to put us on better terms with humanity and to take kindlier view of our fel- low men, our future and our fate. It will incline us to turn the telescope butt-end to, when we look7for tomor- rows troubles, and wink the other eye at the familiar admonition, "Cheer up The worst is yet to comeP' It's a good text to paste in our hats. Now let's sing hymn.

BE CONTENT.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT.

If kind Fate puts in your hand What you cannot understand, Be content and know 'tis true, Somehow it is best for you. Blessings often come disguised, And sometimes they're much despised. Soon or late we're sure to know Mercies out of trials grow. We must learn to smile on all, Good or evil, as they fall; Trusting, somehow, what is right Will evolve before our sight. And in trusting we will feel Life Is earnest, life Is real; And the grandest monument Is life filled with content.

 "I am strong" And keep going! Is the work weary and endless the grind. And petty the pay? Then brace up your mind, And say, Something better is coming my way" And keep doing! Is the drink bitter life pours in your Is the taste gall? Then smile and look up, And say, "God is with me whatever befall"- And keep trusting!

Some Don IS for the City.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mayor Mitchell asks citizens to help
keep down the budget and tax rate. Here
are some "don'ts" which may help property
values and so help in city expenses:
/. Don't put a garbage dump on park
waterfront and then expect TO tax property
near as if it were in a highly desirable
ueighborhood.
3 Don't take from the jurisdiction of the
Park Department street such West End
Avenue. Don't remove IT'S restrictions, force
tn unendns procession Of garbage on this
unwilling street and not expect to force out
all fastidious residents and so reduce its tax
rate
3. Don't fail to find just what each section
of the city is best adapted TO, and then to
prevent private greed from charging it into
a Sahara desert-agan reflected in the taxes.
4. Don't fail to support the LOckwood-El-
lerbogen bill, which will give the city the
whip-haEd in dealing with the New York
Central Railroad development on the West
Side. This will reassure capital, timid about
owning property on the West Side since the
cty's tentative agreement with the New
York Central Railroad two years ago--this
also reflected in taxes.
,. Don't allow Dock Commissioner Smith
to antagonize and insult through the press
the residents of the West Side VINO object to
cattle yards and garbage dumps on park
waterfront. Some may think he voices the
views of the city administration and so
hasten to dispose of West Side property thus
lowering the values-again reflected in re-
duced rate Of taxation.

New-StyIe Farming for New York.

Farming and conservation are not gen.
orally brackcted together in the public
mind. Yet farms, so called, are being
maintained in various parts Of the state
which are actually experiment stations in
conservation Of animal and forest life,
They are of material benefit to this gen
GRAFTON and give indication of incalculable
material and sentimental value for future
generations.
One of the most interesting Of these
farms is a tract of $50 acres of mountain
land in the Northeastern Adirondacks
fenced in about three years ago by Mr..
John b. Burnham, president of the Ameri-
can Game Protective Association, and
stocked with deer-mosuy Whitehall deer,
bu, including d few European red deer,
similar to our ek. A. Mr. Burnham de-
scribes his farm in the April Bulletin
Of the association. it is distinctly a profit
able enterprise. He has now a herd of
one hundred deer; the enterprise costs him
somewhat over $l60 a year, and he expects
an income of from 81 800 to $4,000 year
beginning this autumn.
The deer have nothing save the natural
food of the tract-eVergreen and hard
wood browse-except some hay cut from
beaver meadow on the place and sailed
to induce them 10 eat it. \ three year old
deer'S carcass is worth from $50 to $50
in the market here. The deer, Mr. Burn
ham declares, actually benefit the land for
forestry purposeS-eXcept the red deer
which break off the tops of small trees
because they destroy hardwood shoots
which otherwise would shade and kill
young white pine trees which he has
planted.
Another unusual farm is that Of Mr..
Charles F. Dietrich, who raises German
hare, white-tailed deer, pheasants and
quail at Millbrook. Duchess County. The
German hare, he has found, furnishes ex-
cellent sport and a cheap, abundant and
desirable source of food supply. From his
preserve deer, pheaSants and these hare
have escaped from time to time and bred
in the neighboring country. SO that the
farmers have q fine game supply, and a

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: FoodstufFs and food markets have

Of much discussion and consideration by
economists, food experts and public officials.

markets maintained by the City Of New York

examiner in the service of the Finance

Controller Of the City of New York.
This report was brought to my attention
through the columns OF THE City Record
under date Of March 90. 1915. ! notice that
Mr.. Maclntyre in his report shows during the
years from 1906 to 1914 the public markets
owned and operated by the City Of New York

OF nearly 81 100000, and that sis markets

In other words. the loss TO the city in 1914
for the six markets is 100000 more than the
average loss for the period of nine years
from 1906 to 1919.
Out Of the nine markets three have been
profitable to the city. West Washington
Market was established in 1889. The as
scssed valuation of the market is more than
81 100000, and during the nine years from
1906 TO 1914 gave an average profit TO the
city Of $4,000. The Delaney Street Market
is a pushcart market, and during the nine
years from 1906 to 1914 gave an average
profit of about $4,000. Flower Market is
situated IN the space under the greensboro
Bridge. and has paid an average profit dur
ing the nine years from 1906 to 1914 of
little more than 500

that for a period of nine years there had
been no profits, but a decided loss? Strenu-
Gus protest against general wastefulness and
against the continuance of these six markets

hunting club combines fox hunting with

New York State itself has recently en-
tered this new field in farming. At Sher-
burne. in Chenango County, there ls
game farm which, on an Appropriation OF
S.. 500. last year produced and distributed
for Matching pheasants' eggs and BIRDS
which were estimated at 900 in value
a neat addition to the states resources. In
consequence Of this record a new game
farm is just getting into operation in JET
ferson County.
Every farm of this nature, whether pri-
vatelv owned and operated for proilt or
owned by the state and operated entirely
in the interest Of game propagation, IS
benefit to the public. While quail, ducks,
pheasants and deer can be thus raised for
restocking and for the table, there is no
danger of their following the prairie
chicken, the wood pigeon and the buffalo.
Future generations will not have the rea-
son to blame this one for its game hogs"
that this one has for blaming its prede-
cessors.
