Good Times Now For Farmers
ON Email Farms — Friendly
Advice.
Whatever may have been the
"ause, or causes, of the increased
cost of living, the high prices of all
farm products, though a hardship
to consumers who live on fixed sal
aries, is of much benefit to farmers.
Now is an excellent time for the
farmers on small farms to make
money. There was never a better
time hut once, (during the civil
war,) and then some did not wise
ly avail themselves of it and by in
creasing their expenditures or get
ting in debt, were ruined when the
government resumed specie pay
ments and prices fell to the lowest
level.
Cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry,
ejjgs, butter, potatoes, vegetables
and fruits—everything farmers
have to sell, are unusually high,
hut so also are most of the things
farmers have to buy, and in order
to lay up money for support in old
aj;e, or to educate children and
help them get started in business
or buy farms for themselves, farm
ers must practice great restraint
and prudence in their purchases.
No doubt some farmers, as soon
as they have the money in hand,
will buy an automobile, and it is
to be feared that some others seeing
money is plentiful, will buy one of
the horseless carriages on credit.
Dr. Franklin said ''wear your old
coat until you have money enough
to buy a new one." If the old
coat is not ragged and a man wants
to get rich, it would be better to
lend the money on interest, that a
new coat would cost, and wear the
old one a while longer.
Farmers on small farms can
make more money in proportion to
the number of acros they cultivate,
than the "bonanza" farmers who
cultivate and rob the life blood
from thousands of acres. Labor is
high priced and the "bonanza"
farmers have to hire all their work
done, whereas the small farmer
with the assistance of his family
need hire IMII lit ill* IAINIF,

HOME.
I'li mi The New \ll »i 11 ly Miirm.
(jfIOMIH What a wonderful word; what a
(•'"'JIM nuiltitmle of emotions surge rouiul the heart
of the wanderer at the very mention of the
[word. I low it tin ills the soul of the absent hoy or
girl to thiols of the dear old homestead far away,
nestling among the cherry blossoms, the woodbine
and the rose trellis, or w hen bleak and desolate in
I the grasp of winter's icy fingers without, within
Jail chcerv ami bright. I lonic, sweet, sweet home.
Most of us have known the delights of a child
hood home. Some of us grown-ups still go back
'and greet our aged parents in the old home nest.
To many ol us that most hallowed haven of earth
is but a memory. A few of our brothers and sis
ters in the world never had a home.
We want to have a heart to heart talk with our
1 friends about home. About how home is made a
| happy or an unhappy place.
We most heartily favor friendliness and love
!among neighbors, but home should be the altar
I upon which the choicest, most constant gifts of
.affection should be laid. How prone we are to
! forget or neglect to do so.. 1 low easy it is to con
ceive and exercise an unwarranted liberty toward
J those of our own household.
How often we are surly, morose and callous
I toward one another in the home simply through
| carelessness. That we really love one another is
amply proven by absence, sickness or death, but
| we take too much for granted; we tread down our
| own best emotions and stifle the affections of oth
'ers by an undue familiarity.
We have seen members of a household snap
jand snarl at one another like curs, when the door
bell would ring and a neighbor enter the house.
Frowns would vanish as by magic and smiles take
their places. Everything would become as serene
as an angel's dream.
Why was it? Was it because the neighbor
1 •« J tl-»r» liomo cr" I<fi 112 { TO 111
it. There was but a common, neighborly feeling.
Should the visitor move far away, or be carried to
the churchyard to be welcomed no more in a
freindly call, regret, even deep grief might be felt,
but nothing like the awful loss of any link being
broken from the family circle.
Now then, since this is true, and we know it
to be true, why not begin now and bestow our
brightest smiles, our most courteous attention, our
most courtly hospitality upon those dearest of all
to us?
Some of us, both men and women, after years
of contact with the sharp corners of life, grow sour,
stern and unloving. We look upon the demon
stration of affection as silly, childish, unworthy a
mature individual.
A puppy is more playful than an old dog, but
a dog's devotion to his master does not decrease
with age. When his teeth are blunted by the ad
amant bone of time, his legs feeble, his ears deaf,
he will lie and gaze into his master's face with an
undying affection. Must we, creation's most in
telligent offspring be taught by dogs?
Many men and women go about the home in
shabby garments and unkempt appearance that
would make them blush with shame in the pres
ence of neighbors or strangers. There is no reas
on why we should not and every reason why we
should make our person as pleasing as possible to
our own home folks. If the husband knew his
wife took pains to make herself agreeable to his
sight, don't you suppose he would appreciate it?
Thousands of men are driven to the saloons, thous
ands of boys are thrown into evil associations be
cause home has no attractions.
We don't want to scold, but admonish—Be
kindly and affectionate toward one another in the!
home. Don't wait to heap flowers on the coffined
dead, shed a lustre and fragrance around your best
beloved during life.
