father tell stories and could tell a few

Susan lives an exciting twenty-four

But even in the midst of happiness
Susan can't resist an exciting hair

TiIlage as Producer of Crops

While tillage alone will not go very
ar towards producing crops, with
out some stimulus, yet II Is OF great
Importance to thoroughly till the soil
hat we undertake to bring into bet
er condition, as the tillage Is worth
rs much as the dressing We use. T l.
iage may be made great producer of
.orps IL we use in connection there
With tho means we have for our crops.
The tillage We may do each year will
not answer-fhree or four years hence.
,utting two crops of clover hay and
hen blowing and thoroughly filling
and reseeding is one of the best ways
o increase the production of the farm.
We do not like to pillow a piece OF
and that Is bearing good crop of
lay, when we have land much poorer.
The inclination Is to pillow the poorest
very time. AS rule farmers do not
harrow their land enough, especially
or hoed crops. 1t Is of great i'm
)ortance that, the land be thoroughly
oulverihed, as in so doing you break
ID the Jumps and 1iberate much plant
God, which would not otherwise be
AVAILABLE, and SO we should not feel
t waste of time to thoroughly har-
'ow our land before planting, but feel
t TO be economy to do so. Economy

In the matter OF seeking his fortune
or lettering his condition financially
man has. as rule. been a rover. DIS
lance lends enchantment to the view,
and man Is apt. in the struggle ior
wealth, to take long distance chances
sThis spirit of adventure has, no oouo.,
led in many instances to success, anu
"a often to failure. The realty
seldom the equal OF what fancy mas
hainted Ii. and hence sits In the sea,
vhero success was to have been
crowned Such has been the history
Of many who went to the gold neids
In the years when rumor painted her
most fanciful pictures OF fortunes to

Az a rule more or less adventurous,
hut at tn same time he Ia averse to
patient Flooding to secure his desire
In life. We, as q rule, try to cover
distance by a single bound. that
should require q somewhat protract-
ed effort of locomotion, and so when
chances hold out to us rosy induce
ments we are apt to take 1t, ratheT
than go slower and surer. We are
reminded here OF the Irishman who
had heard in his country that fortunes
could be. picked up in this country
easily, and that money was strewed
around on the bosom of Mother Earth
and who on landing discovered lying
on the ground silver half dollar.
Pat looked at II for moment ano
only for moment, and said Ill not
bother to pick you up, but will go
where they are thicker. and great
many Of us are like Pat and neglect
the small opportunities lying. within
our reach. and are searching for the
places where they lie thicker. One
difficulty today with the small farmer
Is, that having been driven out of the
general markets by the large produc-
ers Of the West, he has not tried to
create or open up q market for the
products OF his labor at home In
every village there are hundreds OF
consumers, who will buy products of
the farm and dairy and prefer to buy
them fresh from the hand OF the rails
er. rather than, at second hand, from
the local markets. Here we note an
instance where a man who has made
failure In large business venture
where success seemed fairly certain.
