THRIFT AND ECONOMY.
Right Thinking Necessary to Great
est Success in Every Field of
Endeavor.
Economy is one of the essentials to
Vuccess. It matters not how great
icne's earnings may be. if there is no
>pennies laid by, there will bo no
counting of dollars to your credit.
(From childhood children should be
taught lessons of thrift, and the value j
©f saving. There is a difference be- ■
tween economy and stinginess. There
■is an excess which defeats the aim,
and is the cause of loss and misery. ;
That economy which prevents the
farmer from spending money to prop- |
erly house his stock during the win
ter. is paradoxical. It is a saving of
dollars and the loss of dollars by the
caving. That so-called economy
which prevents the consuming of fuel
In winter, which results in a cold
house and sickness in the family, and
perhaps a death, is niggardly stingi
ness, which is cffttinal. It is the sav
ing of a few dollars in the coal bill,
and paying perhaps a hundred or more
to the doctor or the undertaker. There
is no economy in cheap things gen
erally. A bit of machinery that is
needed about the farm should be the
best. A cheap, poor mowing machine
from some mail order house may
urpm aown wnen 11 is needed tne
most, and a result Is the loss of tons
of hay several times the value of a
good machine. Poor articles wear out
rapidly, and are likely to give out
at a time when most needed, and are
a continual source of expense. A poor
breed of stock is another illustration.
Poor, bony horses eat more than well
bred ones, and the latter always find a
ready sale, while the raw-bones cannot
be disposed of at any price. The same
with hogs, sheep, and all classes of
domestic stock. A poor lot of ani
mals should be gotten rid of as soon
as possible. They are expensive and
it is poor economy to keep them.
It is in looking after the saving of
a penny and being blind to the dollar
that could be gained that is the trou
ble with many. Savages have no
idea of economy. They cannot fore
go a small pleasure for a greater one
a little farther off. It is the ability
to think out these matters that makes
the civilized man superior to the bar
barian. Think! Don't get tired of
using the reasoning brain that a good
Providence has given you. The
secret of knowledge is in thinking, and
the power to make comparison. One
of the drawbacks of many schools is
the teaching, the cramming of miles
and facts without combining with
them the importance of cause and ef
fect. Teach one to think, and he will
soon be a person of no mean knowl
edge. It is the thinker who wins in
life, and on the farm, in the workshop,
in the store, anywhere and every
where, where brains are needed, you
will find it is the active, keen and
careful thinker who forges to the
front

SAPS LOCAL WEALTH.
8y*tem* That Draw from Circulation
Money That Should Be Kept Home.
Thnt city, town or community from
which the major part of the earnings
of the people are sent elsewhere is
destined to go backward and take a
place in the rear of progressive com
munities. It will never have the full
quota of wealth that is due it, and
that it should hare. It Is the profit*,
the amounts that represent the sur
plus above cost of production of prod
ucts, and the earnings of the laborer
above his expenses of living, and the
legitimate profits of the merchants and
others in business that makes a com
•nunity wealthy. When these earnings
are diverted to foreign places their
local tax-paying and up-building pow
■er is destroyed and the places re
ceiving the money acquire a benefit.
If you desire to see the greatest
measure of prosperity in your own
town, keep every dollar you can in
circulation at home. The bank cor
poration or individual that has its ex
istence elsewhere and has a mortgage
on your farm or other property, en
joys a means of making you bear a
portion of the burden of taxes of an- 1
other section than your own. It mat
ters not by what means your money
reaches outside your own bailiwick, it
results in the same evil. You are
helping those who pay none of the
cost of maintaining the institution of
your own town and county.

Raising Turkeys.
If you do not wish your turkeys to ,
disturb your neighbors you had belter
raise them with hens. They will some- 1
times get over the boundary line then |
but are not as apt to. Hen turkeys
will wander and you will have to go
after them quite earlv or they will
be settled for the night and you can 1
not find them.
Lambs with Diarrhoea.
Lambs suffering from diarrhoea
should be given a dose of castor oil,
to be followed with 12 drams of pre
pared chalk, one dram of powdered
ginger, and one dram of laudanum
.(mixed).
