 Economy 4 the parent of integrity, of liberty and of ease and the beau teous sister of temperance, of cheerful ness and of health
 Willful waste is cruel and crafty demon that gradually involves her fol- lowers in dependence and debts and so letters them with irons that enter their tnmoSt souls
 Economy is procedure by which a certain sum of money can be saved and waste. on the other hand, by which the same sum of money Is dissipated. To illustrate farmer wishes to buy an ax. The local merchants price is S1 4o. but the farmer can buy "an" ax from the retail catalogue house for $125. He Is economical and is going to save that 15 cents
 Abandons Machinery In Field.
 The previous summer the economical farmer bought a new mower with which to harvest bis hay and paid therefor Ss5
 The machine was nice and new and shiny, and when the farmer completed the cutting of his hay he promptly un- httched his team and aba ndoned the pretty new mower to the tender ele- ments of the hayfield. and there 1t re mains, the seat and tongue protrudlng from huge snowdrtft
 That seems to be case here waste took economy by the hand and led 1t put into the fields and lost 1t
 Neglect Is Noticeable.
 It is regrettable fact that the prac- tice Is not uncommon: that 1t Is the rule rather than the exception among farmers
 Look out of the window of any train as you pass through the country, and almost the first thing that meets the eye Is a neglected piece of farm machinery standing in vacant 1e,d unprotected from the rains of the summer. the winds of tho fall. the sleet, ice and snow of winter and the mud and mire of spring
 What must be the condition of thHt mac chinery when in the course of time the farmer is again ready to put 1t into servicef
 Have rust, neglect and the clements added to Its value and eficiencyf
 Deprecated 50 Per Cent.
 Have they not depreCiated 1t at least J0 per cent in every way Neglect Of this kind Is wilful waste
 There h no better field ia all the world In which the farmer can prac- dee economy than in the proper care of his machinery.
 Some farmers protect thSAr machin- sry all right from the elements. They haul M in under s shed
 The barnyard fowiS have also disc0v- cred this "nics shsd" and dnd that machinery makes the incest hind of roasting place with the result that when the machines Are again brought out into the sunlight they are things of sordid appearance rather than of worth and beauty.
 Machinery Rusts Out.
 The back door robs the house, and he back door leads to the machinery shed and to the open fields Go out md see If your machinery Is protected from both the weather and harnyard lir
 Remember it is better for machinery 10 wear out than to rust out Saving i5 cents on an ax and losing $50 on l moving machine is false economy. the pruc lice of which leads past the gate of thrift and industry and up to the door of Hwoeful want and willful waste" and to the freside of indolence and neglect
 The man who neslects and abandons his farm machinery in the field is not only the most indolent man In the world but also the most stupid
 And the strangest part of 1t all is ''''A ti man W III thAAAA ms aA]dbfhA ct but will fight If called stupid
 He sort of per>uades himself to be lieye that incidence chetshes all the peaceful virtues and that without de Stroying the others It merely suspends their functions
 Be Frank With Dealer
 Be frank and open and manly with yourself and ask your dealer to be the same
 Then there will be more consumers i'll The town to feed, and the farmer will profit by it. Sc will the retail mer- 5hant and also the consumer citi- zens of the town the professional man and the employee. as they will be prof itably employed and earning money.
 When the citizens of a town have money in the bank or jinglng in their pockets town worth while Is In evil hence farming community worth while is also very noticeable
