l DOES FARMING PAY?
Lillansnnds of Tim Bans This Que-d
tion Been Mend, But the Answers
. . Have Been Few.
How often this question has been
:asked and how seldom answered; how
can. it be answered, when there is not
Lone farmer in 106 who can tell lithe
jnumber of each kind of live stock he
thad, and what they were worth, one
year ago?
' 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. memu
orandum of it, so as to be able to oom«
pare one year with another, and if he
' ‘kept an expense account, and also an
account; of his income, he would know
3whe~re he could retrenc-h, if necessary,
and when he might safely expend, or-
indulge in. something besides the bare
necessaries of life. Few tamers 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- is the
ifig'ar refit-mg their faFms and’g0ifig
to live in. town. A farmer can, and
frequently does, drive .as fine a. horse
a: any man. in town, but he doesn’t
realize how much it. costs the other fel-
low to keep a horse just for pleasure.
It is getting quite common for 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 family 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. ‘Ee
doesn’t have. to enter into competition
and strive with his neighbor like a
merchant; he. doesn’t. have to wrangle
and warp the truth for a living like a
lawyer; he doesn’t have. to depend on
donations- reluctantly d-oled out. like
many ministers; in short, he can be
the most independent man. on God’s
green earth if he manages his affairs
in a 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 doe-s payl—

About the Hull 04: Oats.
All who have fed oats‘know‘that
‘ there is the greatest- difi’erence in. their
feeding qualities. Itis 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 andrrough-
er than white-hulled Oats. 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, the
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 3 Foot Race with
the \Vomnn He Cannot Pro-
pose Again.
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 qofi'se, she suffers herself 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 Laplander 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 offered to
the girl’s father.
If he drinks it, it is 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-
1 erally 100 copper dollars, down on the
spot. _
This, of course, is aremnant 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 for a
year after marriage. ‘
Incubators for Chicks.
However resolutely a. breeder may rc-
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
suflicient time to hatch‘ out the chicks
will know. that, it is impossible. The
broodiest hen after two or three days
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! and. given
a warm, light room, will continue to
lay through the winter. ..

HINDOOS PAID. Sun's DEBTS.
Think an Eclipse Indicates It Is Be-
hind in Its Accounts, So Cel-
ebrate Rites to Assist It.
__..._l. -
When the recen-t’eclipse of the sun
occurred in_ India. the priests in some
of the village temples had a quiet tip
to be ready for i’, says 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
is in debt, and every one must. give.
money to pay his debt, or a huge mou—
st-er will swallow him!”
Bat-hing in the. holy Ganges and- pray
ing there to the' sun would help. The
priests said- the early morning would. be
most efficacious, and the people went in
immense numbers.
The eclipse beg-an soon after noon,
and wastotal about two o’clock. Dur-
ing totality the crowd became excited.
Men were trembling from head tofoo‘t
with excitement and fear. “Ram, Ram,
victory! Ram chunder, victory to
Ham! 0, Ram. victor 'l” 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 melt-ed awy.
- They say that the money that was
given so liberally to the priests helped
the sun, and. thus shortened the eclipse.
nm nine-innit His Engine.
The Philadelphia Record tells of a
railway engineer named William Blue,
who was master of locomotive N0. 2‘.
One of the fines in the boiler of his pet
engine blew up and he was stalled,
blocking the main line. His report to
the division superintendent was un-
wittingly as follows: “Engine two
blew out a flue; wat’ll I do? Bill Blue."
In 20 minutes Bill got thisanswer: “Bill
Blue: You plug the flue in engine two
and pull her through in time to get out
of the way of-twenty-t-wo.”
Man’s Indebtedness to Insects.
According to Grant Allen, in the
Strpnd Magazine, beetles and other in-
sects anticipated man in the burial of
2' his dead and manuring of his fields by
devouring and burying dead animals
j where they enrich the soil and promote
; the growth of vegetation. “There is,”
-, he says, “hardly a human trade or abu-
' man activity which does not. find its
counterpart. in animal and vegetable
, life.” *
