RAISING OR BUYING FEED.
Where the farmer grows the fodder
and grain for his animals he is justified
in feeling that it has cost less than it
would if he paid the cash for it in the
market if he has been successful in get-
ting good crops. He has made a market
for his own labor, the labor of his team
and use of tools, and for the manure
that wis a waste product of his stock.
All of that forms a part of his profit,
and the crops may be said to have cost
him the seed, hired labor and fertilizer
bought. But it may not be the cheap-
est feed for him to use. He may be able
to sell it and purchase other food ma-
terials that would give him enough bet-
ter results to repay him for the labor
or drawing both ways. Bran and gluten
feed produce so much more milk than
corn meal that he may sell the corn he
has raised, and buy the other feeds
which he does not raise. Other foods
are better for hens than the corn, or
even than oats, The man who tries to
be so independent as neither to buy or
sell, had better set up a hand loom and
a cobbler’s bench, to save spending
money for clothing. We could fatten
cheaper when we sold them and bought
our corn than we could to have fed the
| roots, and we thought cheaper than if

BEAUTY WISDOM.
It is wise to be beautiful in the sense
tithesis. No sick woman ever was or
could be lovely.
Sustained effort and a big amount of
patience will move mountains of flesh
and cover valleys of dry bones. Fresh
blood will paint sallow cheeks and red-
den bluish lips, but in order to do the
work one needs self-control and faith.
It is another case of “faith without
work” being “dead” when we “believe
in" exercise, yet are too lazy to arise
earlier or retire later in order to pursue
the work,
