the advisability of either going to
Brownsville or calling a few addi

Turkeys on the Farm.
More turkeys should be raised
on our farms. One can literally
see a flock of turkeys turning the
legions of insects in a stubble-field
into money, and they will further
more fatten quickly on the other
wise lost waste seeds in field, by
path and barnyard. They are far
...... .
superior to poultry xn mis respeci,
and from the time they pass into
adult stage they need be of little or
no expense on the average farm
It is true the young poult requires
extra care up to the time it "shoots
the red" (in gills), but from that
time on they are proof against
disease, wet weather or even cold,
winds. At Thanksgiving and
Christmas time they always com
mand high prices, and it is at this
time that they become fat and.
sleek in just prime condition for
the butcher. Better plan to raise
more turkeys next season. Farm

Two Ways.
There are two ways of starting
on life's journey. One is to begin
where your parents are ending
magnificent mansions, splendid
furniture and an elegant turnout
The other. is to begin a little nearer
where father or mother of blessed
memory began. You see you can
go up as easily and gracefully, if
events show it would be safe; but
it would be trying and awkward
to come down. Audit costs much
now to live. And business flue
tuates; and heaith is uncertain,
and temptations from the side of
pride are strong, and naany a young
man who did not mean to be ex
travagant has been led along, and
rather than face the position and
descend manfully, has tried to
keep up by embezzlement and been
called a "swindler," Our prisons
are rapidly being filled by those
who make the mistake of beginning
life at the top of the ladder.

The budget tentatively adopted
for New York City for 1908 prob
ably marks the high-water point
of municipal expenditure in the
world's history, says Collier's
Weekly.
The metropolitan budget has
practically doubled in ten years
In 1898 it was $77,590,332. In
the two years of Low the city's
expenditures were stationary or
declining. This year they have
gone up by fifteen million dollars
at a jump, and last year tbe in
crease was almost as great. But it is
only fair to Tammany to say that
much of the responsibility for New
York's growing extravagances is
due to the Republican Legislature,
which saddles expenditures on the
city against its protest.
The government of New York
City will spend more than twice as
much in the coming year as the
Government of the United States
spent in the year before the Civi
War. -As lately as 1877, only
thirtv years ago, the expenditures
of the National Government, aside
from interest on the public debt,
were less than those of New York
That included the
whole cost of the army and navy,
pensions, public buildings, river
and harbor improvements, the
diplomatic service, the care of the
Indians, the support of the Presi
dent, Congress, and the entire
Civil Service, and all the incident
al expenses of a nation of nearly
fifty million people. At the pre
sent time the whole Empire of
Japan runs its Governments aside
from interest on its war debt, for
a little over two -thirds the cost of
running the Municipal Government
nfthe Citv of New York. That
navy which some Eupropean ob
servers think is going to swallow
our own, costs less than fifteen
million dollars a year for ordinary
expenses, with an extra allowance
last year of a little over $5,000,000
more. That army which won the
greatest three battles of modern
times cost about $25,000,000. New
York pays more for public' schools
alone than Japan for her army and
navy combined.
