many friends in wishing them a long
and happy married life.

AMERICAS PROSPERITY

AM HUNS PROSPERITY
They tell me thou art rich, my count
try: gold
In glittering flood has poured into
thy chest;
Thy flocks and herds increase, thy
barns are pressed
With harvest, and thy stores can hard
ly hold
Their merchandise; amending trains
are rolled
Along thy network rails of East and
West;
Thy factories and FORCES never rest;
Thou art enriched in all things bought
and sold!
But dost thou prosper? Better news
crave.
o dearest country, is it we'll with
thee
Indeed, and is thy soul in
health?
A nobler people, hearts more wisely
brave,
And thoughts that lift men up and
make them Free
These are prosperity and vital
wealth!

cows AND CREDIT

Dakota Farmer: An implement deal
err made the remark recently that he
did not believe that milking cows
makes farmer any better pay. Most
of his creditors depend on grain and
in season like this find it pretty hard
to meet their obligations. But when
they do have crop, they come around
with money. This is not a very salts
factory way of conducting business
and often involves delay, but there is
settlement made in time.
The dealer stated, however, that the
few of his creditors who are milking
cows are the poorest pay of any men
on his books. They have the steady
income from the cream, but it never
seems to amount to enough at any one
time to make much Of an impression
on their debts. A monthly check of
S35 or $50 or even 500 coming regu-
larly helps wonderfully in keeping the
household going and in buying odds
and ends so constantly needed on a
farm. But when it is put up against
a note of say $500, it seems very small,
hardly worth applying, and has more
pressing use elsewhere. So the big
bill is allowed to run.
The dealers experience is illuminat-
ing. But it does not necessarily fol-
low that because in an isolated case
it is true, the same condition is found
elsewhere or everywhere. AS a gen.
eral thing business men feel safer
when they have money standing out
with farmers who are milking.
A study of this particular case re-
veals some interesting conditions,
! The town in which the dealer lives is
situated in territory where wheat
raising has been quite successful.
Dairying is not generally practiced,
Many of the farmers, most of them in
| fact, keep only COW or two for their
own use. Occasionally farmer is
found who keeps more.
Among these few there has not yet
been real development in dairying.
| The milk record sheet and the Bah.
| cock test are scarce articles. Breed
ing up good dairy animals has hardly
been attempted 1t is the rare excep'
ton when even fair bull is brought
into the neighborhood. Dairying has
not been given show. Naturally
you would hardly expect it to be very
| profitable. What cows there are can
be counted only as uncertain quaint
ties-they may pay to keep but again,
they may not. Doubtless many OF
them are MIXED at loss or at such
small profit that the owner has little
to show for his trouble. ~.
And trouble it is-dairying-reQuir-
| ing close attention and careful work.
! If the right kind of cows are used,
however, the work is we'll repaid. But
If unproductive cows make up the
herd, the owner really has not much
to show in the way of profit, even with
that steady income, and his running
expenses eat up that income so closely
that he has little left to apply on larg-
er debts. ~ III. .. ...... ...... 49,.
Profit in dairying with which to
clean up debts and get ahead, depends
quite largely on the cow. And with
out a record and a test, nothing def
mite can be known about her.

DREAMS


Upon a dingy little cot a little fell
low lay
And watched the shadow on the wall
that doomed across the way.
And though to folk like you and me
the wall was bleak and bare,
He saw a acknowledged wood and
fairies dancing there.
And from his face there feel away the
cruel lines of pain
And he beheld the COLLINS leap among
the golden grain,
And watched the bright-hued butter
flies that flashed among the
flowers;
All dreams, but dreams that made him
glad for many happy hours.
And often when the twilights fell be-
yond the rusty bars
That framed his cage, he saw an eli
fit round to light the stars,
A queer and2 crooked little elf who
turned first left, then right,
And zig-zagged through the Milky
Way till all Of it was bright.
And starry paths to happiness he saw
where you and l
Could only see faint points of light up
on gloomy sky.
All dreams they were-but dreams de
vised with magic childish art
That shut despair forever from gal
liant little heart.
And then there came the last good
night, when two small, weary
eyes
No more could watch across the
gloom to see the starlit skies,
When others looked upon the wall and
found it bleak and cold,
And never guessed that once it gleam
ed with rose and green and gold
When there beside "a dingy cot moth
er bowed her head,
And strangers hurried through the
halls with soft and noiseless
tread;
But somewhere, out in faryland
among the rainbow dew
A little soul knew happiness-the
dreams had all came true.

THE LITTLE WORRY

THE LITTLE WORRY
l had a little worry,
That followed me around;
Twas never in a hurry,
And tracked me like a hound.
l took it to my pastor,
Who told me it was sent
To save me from disaster
BY making me repent.
The lawyer, doctor, plumber,
The butcher boy, the nurse,
All passed it up, and hummer
I've never felt, nor worse.
I took it to a grocer
Who seemed to need a clerk;
II think" he said, ~ know sir,
Your trouble. Get to work."
I did (the pay was rotten),
But worry, left outside,
Was plumb and clean forgotten
1t bit itself and died.
