STAND BY YOUR TOWN

No town can be permanently prosperous in which the citizens and tradesmen dependent on each other. do not patronize each ot- her. The merchant wants a har- ness. for instance. and although his neighbor is good harness maker. and trades with him, he imagines he can save fifty cents by sending to another city or state for his harness. The har- ness-maker in turn, sends away for his groceries, boots. shoes and clothing, The shoemaker sends away for his coat, and the tailor sends away for his boots, and so it goes. As result, the farmers coming in to trade. see all the tradesmen sending to ot- her places for goods, because. they say, they can save money by doing so. and come to the con- clusion they. too. can do better elsewhere; and then everybody is growing about hard times and
 no business. No wonder, the business men themselves turn
 the tide of trade elsewhere, for if they can supply themselves to l to better advantage by depriying their neighbor of their trade.

TWELVE THINGS TO DO THIS MONTH

1. Get out over the fields dur ing the winter rains and see If your soil is staying at home. If it isn't, try some persuasion in the form of broad, cultivated terraces, with clover sown next fall.
 2 Look to the barnyard, and if it is sea of mud, put it to rights.
 3. Watch the growing calves. and see to it that they are not stunted through lack Of feed and shelter.
 4. Visit your school and learn whether there is plenty of fuel and a good water supply; use the opportunity to get better acquain- ted with the teacher.
 5. Get your boy interested in tte Corn and Pig Clubs, and your daughter in the Canning Club work.
 6 Look to your subscriptions to your favorite farm papers, loc- al new wspapers, and a few good magazines. Remember that the man who reads is the man who leads. '
 2. Examine the cotton you are holding for better prices. and see that it is perfectly dry and not rotting.
 8. Begin getting prices on commercial fertilizers, and ar range with your neighbors to buy comparatively in car lots.
 g. See to 1t that the farm inn plemenCs not in use are all un- der shelter.
 10, Tackle the stumps every chance you get; remember that stumpy fields and really good farming don't go together.
 II. Keep your eye on the wood pile and see to it that mother al ways has on hand plenty of good dry material.
 12. Make a King road drag and try dragging that piece ot muddy road that has been givin- you so much trouble; you'll b, surprised how much good it WI do. The Progressive Fla. mer.

Oh, it seems useless to struggle and strain, all our endeavor is hope less and vain; when we have gathered a small, slender roll, hoping to lag in cordwood or coal, hoping to purchase some flour and some spuds, hoping to pay for the ready made duds, hoping to purchase bone for cat, some one comes cheerfully passing the hat Passing the hat for the fellows who f .iI. passing the hat to remodel the jail, passing the bonnet for this or for thatl Dig up your bundle and hand out your roll - if you don't give you are lacking a soul What if the feet of your children are bare?
