I.ocnl nnd IiOiiK DlHinucc Plume A". -' THURSDAY, A1AV 27. 9'S- FARM ACCOUNTING. By tho dcnartinnct ot agricultures tho value of tho chief necessaries o llfo consumed hy an avcrngo farm 'family each year at a llttlo under ?C00; but over $100 worth of those necessaries is contributed by tho fnnn Itself, leaving only $171 worth to bo purchased by tho farmer. That sug gests one difficulty with tho average farm bookkeeping: It consists of only a cash account. A good many farmera can tell, with approximate accuracy, how much money they received and paid out during a year. Tho number that have even an approximate no tion of tho valuo of articles consumed on tho farm is much smaller. "I got so much for my hogs," a farmer may tell you; but if you ask what ho mlqht havo got for the feed they consumed ho answers: "Oh, I raised that my self." And there aro still many moro farmers who havo no clear notion of how much cash they received and disbursed. They know only how much they havo left at tho end of tho year, says Saturday Evening Post. In farm ing, as much as in banking and rail roading, good bookkeeping is tho foundation of real economy and effi ciency. Stuffing $S worth of corn Into a pigskin and selling it for $7.50 1b certainly not profitable. A great amount of money is lost yearly in milch cows, simply becauso tho own ers do not know what each quart of cream they sell has actually cost them. A proper but very simplo set of books would show at once which cows yield ed a profit and which wero merely per ambulating corncribs. A dollar in vested in a blank book and a pen would bo tho best investment many farmers could make. A bond from which wo aro never freo unites us to mother earth. Tho appeal of tho refinements of civiliza tion la strong; they aro needed and thoy havo becomo an integral part of our life, but somewhero in our na tures is something that always harks ;back to nature. This feeling of close kinship with wild things, tho stream, 'tho birds and animals, tho woods, ives strength to tho soul. Wero wo to live always on tho artificial heights, wo should become enervated. For tho earth is our home; from tho act ual physical earth wo gain strength of body and mind. From considering it, wo learn lessons of truth and purity and order, and tho foundations of beauty aro all found in tho material world. Our lovo of nature, our long ing sometimes to get out into tho wilds comes, though wo may never realizo it, from our need of theso things. With all our refinements, wo shall cover do so well without tho lmowledgo of tho kindly earth as with it. Even in winter there is mucli to learn, much to enjoy, and wo loso much when wo think wo can do with out our close communion with tho mother of us all. ! In Franco every city of moro than jten thousand population is required to establish a municipal employment bu reau. Tho bureau is composed of an equal number of employers and wage carnere, taown as a' "parity commis sion." It la appointed by tho mayor. jTho system has worked to great ad (vantago in mitigating tho evils of un employment. In 1012 thoro wero 31,- 657 demands for work, divided among 25 bureaus, and 31,315 offers of em ploymont wero mado to meet theso de mands. Of theso 21,420 wero accept ed.

Don't growl about the weather. Wc have every reason to be thank ful we have had no snow during May. Don't be the man who put sit in city. Building good houses builds a good town. Save a little money and save a lot of worry. Good roads lead not only to town, but to money. Bo a live one and the town will never be a dead one. A nice front porch has pre vented many an old maid. Why should tho town muzzle dogs and not knockers? When someone plans to help the town, plan to help the plan. The best plans a man can have to the future are house plans. A good way to make a world better is to begin with the home town. Don't spend all your time tcllinc what you could do if you had some time. Be a ball player. The thing he is always working for is home. Be one of the leaders of the town if you can; but, anyway, keep up. If you think a cow can't laugh for joy, let somebody sell you a good silo. Don't be a grouch. Everybody in this town wishes you well, even tho doctor. Let's not be trying to stop some thing all of the time. Let's start something. A good town will do more to keep the boys tit home than good advice. A town is like a girl. It's won derful what a little fixing up Avill do for her. Opportunity knocks once at every man's door; better be at home when the lady calls. The -world owes every man a liv ing, but the street corner is a poor collection agency. Don't look for soft snaps; the hard snaps are the ones that have the ginger in them. If you would like to have some body working for you, put a little money in the bank. It improves the soup to throw a little pepper into it. . v?v 53tLii I i Barring the unforseen, each retail buyer of a new Ford car, between August 19 14 and August 19 15, will receive from $40 to $60 as a share ol the Ford Motor Company's profits.

The third and very important, is the replacing of wall paper by paint. This soft-velvet-like paint, called ' "Sft produces a very beautiful, yet sanitary covering for walls and ceilings of rooms, in almost any desired shade, which is fadeless, spotless, not easily marred and washable. It has been found to be very satisfactory and more econom ical than wall paper, kalsomine or water-paints.
