ambition. But growing more is not
panacea which alone will cure ALI
the farmers troubles. 1t Is admit.
ted that increased production is the
basis of prosperity on the farm, but
coupled with the idea Of grow more"
should be the principle of save
more"
1t Is not always the farmer who
produces the heaviest crop yield per
acre and who keeps the largest nun.
bers of live stock who is the most
prosperous farmer. We all know
men who produce but ordinary crop
yields and keep but small number
Of farm animals, yet they prosper
they live well and not in a hurry.
The principal difference between the
two types is that one is a producer
only while the other has mastered
something of the art of saving. The
secret, which is not a secret, Of con.
tinuous prosperity on the farm is
Save more"
The significance of the phrase
save more" should not be restricted
to the misery boarding of money.
"Save more" properly includes the
planning of the farm work and bust
ness to the end that the best pos
sible use is made of the labor. equip
ment. and produce Of the farm. The
principle of Save more" may in part
be stated by the following don'ts:
Don't try to farm 100 acres when
you can better farm so acres.
Don't sacrifice quality for quantity
In crops or live stock.
Don't feed good quality feed to
poor quality of live stock.
Don't feed high priced feed to
live stock and then leave the live
stock and unsheltered in all kinds of
weather.
Don't hire help to raise crops that
don't pay for the raising.
Don't help and then fail to furn-
ism the help with suitable tools and
implements with which to earn
wages.
Don't buy good tools and imple-
ments and then fail to properly care
for and shelter them.
This list of don'ts might be added
to until it be doubled many times,
and yet the principle OF save more"
would not be entirely expounded.
l have read of a club or associa-
tion of farmers which was called the
mo MASTERS" The idea of this club
was to prevent waste OF all kinds on
the farms of the members of the
club. The farm Of each member was
visited by the club and causes of
waste pointed out and remedies sug-

accomplished by such an organiza-
ton. and there is need for Just such
an organization in each farming COM

The Great Pleasure
in Work Well Done

The American Magazine has been
offering prizes for the best letters en-
titled The Most Difficult Thing Ev-
er Did. The prize winning letters are
published in the November Issue.
Following is an extract from one Of
these letters:
81 was called one morning about
five, years ago to a young man about
nineteen years old, VINO had just
come back from the country where
few days before he had injured
his big toe while running foot race
in his bare feet. ] found a splinter
OF rotten wood buried under the
bones of his toe. I removed the
splinter in pieces, and after being
sure had all the wood out, l dress
ed the toe properly. The next day
when l called to see my patient |
noticed a peculiar grinlike express
sion on his face, which knew to
be the risus sardonicus Of medical
fame, and which is one of the first
symptoms Of that most dreadful of
all acute diseases, tetanus, or lock
Jaw as 1t is more commonly called.
Without alarming my patient I i'm
mediately injected into his veins
three thosuand units of tetanus an
titoxin. Then l called his parents
aside and told them what was APP
preaching. This young man was an
only son, a somewhat handsome ath-
letic fellow who was idolized by
them.
after arranging with another ply
stefan to take care of my other pa
tients and also with a druggist to get
me all the antitoxin that could be
found in the city, locked my self
up in the room with my patient and
acted as both nurse and doctor to
him in order not to be disturbed.
They had left plenty of food where
could easily get it, particularly
eggs and milk which I fed artificial
~ to my patient. I knew that to-
bacco produced incomnia in me so
got a supply OF strong tobacco that
| chewed to keep awake during the
long nights. BY this time my pa
tient was having pains in his chest
and all his muscles were becoming
rigid and he was throwing his head
back with every paroxysm Of pain.
Every three hours l kept injecting
three thousand units of the antitox-
in, and as | was running short my
druggist got me a good supply from
another city. My patient kept on
progressively getting worse, and was
now having most violent commissions
every few minutes. | kept on in
jecting three thousand units of the
drug into his system night and day
never sleeping for one minute, but
working. watching, waiting and hop
ing for some signs of Improvement.
The slightest sound would throw him
into a violent convuslion, so that |
had to do all my work quietly. 7
worked over this poor fellow for sew
en- days and seven nights without
any sleep at all until had injected
into his veins 1880 units of tetanus
antitoxin which was then the most
ever given to any human being.
EARLY in the morning of the
eighth day I joyfully noticed his mus
Giles becoming relaxed and he be-
came conscious and wanted to know
what was the matter. Words are in
adequate to express the pleasure his
parents experienced when on that
beautiful early morning I called them
to his bedside and gave them back
their boy alive"

MORE ATTENTION TO BRIDGES
Greatest Menace to Tractor Which Could Be Put to More Use on Many
 of the Small Farms.

We will never be able to readily make much use of the gas or steam tractor on the farms until we make tip our minds to pay more attention to our roads and bridges. Especially the bridges. They are the greatest men ance to the tractor and the tractors driver, and there has been little i'm provement in the type of bridges since the engine was put to work on the farms, writes William B. Rose of Iowa in Farm Progress.
 It is rather strange that we are will | ing to use the traction engine to pull our road blows and our road graders and still refuse to build bridges and culverts strong enough to allow the same engine to pass in safety when pulling a threshing outfit or train of farm wagons. But it is the truth, nev- ertheless.
 In spite of all the possibilities of the tractor, or the old-fashioned traction engine, a lot of people look upon it as an ugly contraption that ruins road surfaces, smashes culverts, breaks
 down bridges, scares horses and sets
 fire to meadows and rail fences.
 It is altogether wrong. We could
 make splendid use of the tractor on
 any and all farms of more than eighty
 acres Some day we will make these engines do much of the work, the heavy hauling done by horse teams
 and we will save money by so doing But that time will not come until we , have better roads. And that cannot comes to pass until we get better su ? pervision of road building than we .. . have at present.
 In many states the traction driver
 who crosses a bridge takes a chance not only of injury to himself and his 5 expensive engine, but also assumes the a liability of having to repair the bridge s if he breaks it down. Such laws dis courage the use of tractors as mucf j. as they do better road building. Int l. bridges are the worst feature of thi B condition.
 The tractor has a right to use tn l. public highways. It has just as mucl
 right to the public road as the heav,
 automobile, the overloaded farm wae
 on or any other heavy conveyance I The men who build such engines an
 the men who would like to own an IF use them should insist that these ms
 chimes be given that right No on

 It was at this point in her musins l that there came one of the breaks 1p
 her restless pacing. She was always [ of an impulsive temperament, and al- ) ways giving way to it. Sitting down before paper and ink she wrote the
 following lines:

 "T never let go her hand"
 Woman, you are keeping nothing back?"
 Nothing but my terror at the sight of Bella running in all bloody to escape the people pressing after him."
 Sincerity was in her manner and in her voice. The judge breathed more easily, and made the remark: "No one with hearing unimpaired can realize the suspicion of the deaf, nor can anyone who is not subject to attacks like mine conceive the doubts with which a man so cursed views those who have been active about him while the world to him was blank.
 Thus he dismissed the present sub | ject, to surprise her by renewal ol the old one.
