DIVERSITY ON THE FARM PAYS,

Farm records show, and good farm
ers agree In general. that diversified
farming is most profitable: Diversified
farming means raising live stock and
various kinds Of crops. Diversified
farming gives opportunity for crop
rotation. for distribution of man and
horse labor. and for the maintenance
OF soil fertility. All Of these are es-
ssntial to good farming. Crop rota-
ton aids in maintaining crop yields
and soil fertility; the distribution Of
labor reduces the cost Of operation;
the maintenance of soil fertility Is
the basis of all successful agriculture.

tie OF champagne in the pantry. and,
there being plenty of room in his in
tellect, had succumbed to the inevita-
BILE gloom of the occasion.
The most busily occupied one Of all,
however, was Frank Marley, who,
from Immediately after breakfast, had
ensconced himself in his den, where
he somewhat sadly finished his con-
nection with many odds and ends Of
local business and social institutions,
writing checks and friendly notes all
the morning.
He ever had his lunch brought in to
him, for, truth to tell, he preferred
rather to be alone than to be with
Bert on this particular day. He felt
somehow as if he could never be quite

in accord with the man who was to
take from him his motherless Molly,
and he tried to quell the fear for her
which arose in him. Moreover, Bert
represented the new life which stretch
ed before him, and he was o quite
ready for it now that the time had
come. He was an old man, he real
lied, and it is Il dangerous matter to
uproot old trees. lie had lived the
best years of his life in this city, had

here had occupied a position of some

would, he could not look with too
much confidence Upon achieving the
same thing as Il stranger in a strange
place.
1t was all wrong, he told himself,
and he would not even be properly
thankful for the crumb Of luck which
he had wrested from the bygone feast.
In his pocket he had the check which
removed him from the nerve racking
fluctuations of his street car fortunes,
which insured Molly and Bert and
himself an entrance into a new life
and new opportunities, which made
him safe from Sledge, and yet he felt
nc great e%xultation.
It was a relief to him when Molly
had him called to look at her where
she stood at the head Of the stairs in
her bridal gown, a fresh and glowing
vision in her pure, shimmering white.
The sight Of her gave him a thrill Of
hopefulness too, the first Of the day.

Bert came in from the conservatory
for the glimpse of her which he was
to be permitted, and naturally he
spoiled the picture by starting to dart
upstairs, an action which had the re-
suit Of sending not only Molly and
Fern, but the admiring maids scurry'

which sacred apartment they locked
