l VDOES FARMING PAY?
“on Been Asked, But the Answer:
Have Been Few.
How often this question has been
asked and how seldom answered; how
can it be answered, when there is not
,one farmer in 10.0 who can tell the
number of each kind of live stbck he
had; and what they were worth, one
yearago? ‘
There is not one in 1,000 who can
tell how much it has cost him the
past year in household and other
expenses. Bookkeeping is a terrible
bugbear to the average farmer, but
one would think he might take account
'of stock once a year, and make a. mem~
orandum of it, soas to be able to com-
pare one year with another, and if he
‘kept an expense account, and also an
account of his income, he would know
3where he coukl retrench, if necessary,
Rand when he might safely expend, or
indulge in. something besides the bare
necessaries of life. Few farmers know
how much it would take to support
their families in the way they live
now, if they had to pay house rent,
and hand out the cold cash for every
-thing they consume; and that isthe
reason so new sense to grief steered}.

to live in. town. A farmer can, and
frequently does, drive as fine a horse
as any man in town, but he doesn’t
realize how much it'costs the other feis-
low tokeep a horse just for pleasure.
It is getting quite commonyfor well-
to-do farmers to move into town to
educate their children, and both they
and the children frequently learn more
than; is good for them. The cost of
keeping a. pony for the children to ride
_or drive to school would be small in'
comparison, and would be. keeping the
whole tannily out of the way of tempta-
tion.
The moral side of this question is a
great deal more important than the
financial. The farmer doesn’t have to
solicit the patronage of anyone. He
doesn’t have. to enter into competition
and strive with. his neighbor like a
merchant; he doesn’t. have to vvran-gle
and warp the truth for a living like a
lawyer; he doesn’t have to depend on
donations- reluct'antly- doled out like
many ministers; in short, he can be
the most independent man. on God’s
green earth if he manages his afiairs
ina business-like manner. He has
more time and equal opportunities for
improving his mind, he has less allure-
ments for corrupting his morals, and
his occupation is conducive to thehigh-
est development of his physical pow-
ers. He can be on. intimate terms with
his own family, at peace with the
world, and he can worship God under
his own. grape vine and apple tree,
none daring to molest or make him
afraid. Yes! Farming does pay!—
William Gill, in Agricultural Epitomistt
About the Hull of Oats. 4
All who have fed oats know that
there is the greatest- difierence in. their
feeding qualities. It is largely depend
cut on. the character of the hull. It
has been thought that black-hulled oats
had not only a greater amount of hull,
but that it was also coarser andrrougih-
er than white-hulled oat-s. But there
are some comparatively new varieties
with white hulls that are as coarse
and rough as barley hulls. Most. new
kinds of oats originate in cold or at
least cool climates. If they are also
moist, as Ireland- and Scotland are,th1e
hulls will be large but not rough. The
roughest hulled oats have their origin:
in Norway, Sweden and Russia.

LOVE :IN LAPLAND.
It the Man Loses in nvFoot Race with
' the Woman He Cannot'Px-o-
pone mm.
When a young Laplander is in love
with a girl he and she run a race. He
is heavily handicapped, so that she may
win if she chooses, and if she outrun
him he- cannot propose again, says the
New York Herald. ‘
Of course, ,she suffers her-self to be
overcome if she cares for him, but the
consent of her parents must be obtained
before she can be married. The law of
the land. is very strict on. this point, and
in olden times the man was subject to
capital punishment if he married with-
out the consent of the girl’s parents.
After a Lapl‘ander’ has chosen a bride
he sends" her a. present of a. girdle, a
ring and a quantity of brandy. He
goes as far as the door of her hut, but
remains outside until invited to enter,
when a. bumper of brandy is ofiered- to
the girl’s father.
If he drinks it, itis a. signhe consents
to the marriage, and the young lover
then promises to give the girl some
clothes, and, pays a sum of money, gen-
erally 100 copper dollars, down on the
spot.
This, of course, is a. remnant of mar—
riage by purchase, which in primitive
times succeeded» marriage by capture.
Her parents and her dowry are gen-
erally reindeer, and~_she and her bride-
groom remain with her parents fora
year after marriage.
Incubators for 'Chicks.
However resolutely a breeder may re-
solve to do without incubators, he can-
not very well dispense with them if
he wants the very earliest-hatched
chicks. Anyone who has tried to get
a hen to sit steadily early in spring for
sufficient time to hatch out the chicks
will know that it is impossible.
broodiest hen after two or three d‘ays
on the nest will probably leave the eggs
and go to laying again. Yet it is nec-
essary to have the chicks hatchedearly,
so that they begin laying next fall be-
fore the cold weather comes, in which
case most of them, if well fed-andlgiven I
a warm, light room, will continue to ,
lay through the winter.

HINDOOS .‘P’AID 'SUNi‘s' DEBTS.
Think an Eclipse Indicates It Is He-
hind in Its Accounts, 50 Ce]-
ebrate Rites to Assist It.
When the recent eclipse of the sun
occurred in India the priests in some
of the village temples had a quiet tip
to be treadyfor it, say-s the New York
Journal. '
“The sun god is in danger,” said the
crowds gathered near Patna to watch
the eclipse. “We must help him. He
isAin debt, and every one must give
ster will swallow him!”
Bathing in the holy Ganges andpray
ingthcre to the sun would help. The
priests said- the early morning would. be
most eflicacious, and the people went in
immense numbers. ,
The eclipse began soon after noon,
and was total about two o’clock. 'Dur-
ing totality the crowd became excited.
Men were trembling from head to foot
with excitement and fear. “Ram, Ram,
victory! Ram chunder, victory to
Ram! 0, Ram, victory!” was the cry
all round. .
Then, at the instant light reappeared,
there rose a. triumphant shout from
many thousands of voices of “victory!”
Rapidly the multitudes melted awy.
They say that the money that was
given so liberally to the priests helped
the sun, and thus shorteneduthe eclipse.
Bill Blue-tuna Iii: Engine.
The Philadelphia Record tells of a
railway engineer named William Blue,
who was master of locomotive No. 2-.
One of the fines in 1he boiler of his pet
engine blew up and be was stalled,
blocking the main line. His report to
the division superintendent was un-
wittingly as follows: “Engine two
blew out a fine; wat’ll I do? Bill Blue.”
In 20 minutes Bill got this answer: “Bill
Blue: You plug the~flue in engine two
and pull her through in time to get. out
of the way of twenty-two.” '
Man’s Indebtedness to Insects.
According to Grant Allen, in the
Strand Magazine, beetles and other in-
sects anticipated man inthe burial of
his dead and manuring of his fields by
devouring and burying dead animals
where they enrich the soil and promote
: the growth of vegetation. “There is,”
, he says, “hardly a human trade or a hu-
man activity which docs not find its
g counterpart in animal and vegetable
‘ life.”

“Last winter I had a ban cold and
severe cough. I was lame in every ioint

though I was coming down with typhoid
fever. It was no doubt a bad case of
grippe. Mr. E. P. Budge gave me abet-
tle of Brazilian Balm, saying he was
sure it would help me. The relief was
almost instantaneous. It quickly
stopped my cough and took the grippe

she says she never intends to be without
