For the Land’s Sake gfSSt^h »sa.a:ui.:' Put richness back into the soil. All men who have made good money at farming have been very i careful to keep their soil fertile and rich. There are poor years | and good years in farming, but the man who puts manure on his fields in the right way will reap real profits. The new No. 4 McCormdekDeering manure sipreader is the latest design made for long life and still maintains light draft. Many farmers say they do not need a silo beause they have alfalfa. This is just like saying they do not need. pork because they have beans. A stock farmer with plenty of alfalfa is in crying need of a silo, for silage makes the best balance for alfalfa hay.

savings banks but they are being ( taught in the classroom the deeper meanings of thrift. There are opportunities for investment today Which did not exist twenty-five or fifty years ago those who are doubtful as to proposed investments have every facility for investigation. In the days of our forefathers when every comfort was dearly ; bought and when life held few luxuries, saving called for a vast amount of pluck and stamina. Today, life’s conveniences and comforts are so easily obtained and there are iso many helpful facilities for those who want to save that valid excuses for anyone not getting ahead are indeed rare.

Prosperity is rare whenever time is being wasted. Time is the most valuable thing we have. It is the very essence of life it- 1 self. That is where the great value of machine and power and planning comes in. These factors help a man to multiply his work, his production and profit. Time is money on the farm today. Nearly a quarter million farmers ! using McComick-Deering tractors I today.

Wore Typhoid in Country than Cities Typhoid fever is twice as prevalent in rural sections of the United States as in cities, statistics show. In addition, the number of people per thousand suffering from tuberculosis has been smaller in the cities than in the country during the past four or five years. Sanitation, which Dr. L. L. Lumsden of the U. 9. Public Health Service defines as ‘‘The common sense application of the principles of cleanliness,” breaks the lines of transference of disease germs from one person to another. A great many diseases, of which typhoid fever is a notable example, are transmitted from one reason to another means of human waste. Purification of the supply and proper sewage disposals are the two most Important factors in preventing this transference. in the opinion of Dr. Lumsden. “There is no better investment for the rural home than a sanitary water supply and sewage disposal system,” says Dr. Lumsden. "Wells should be equiped with tight platforms and curbs whieh will prevent contamination from the top, as that is the place from which most of the contamination enters the water supply. Sewage should be disposed of by a septic tank or some similar means in such a manner that it cannot enter the water supply or be transferred by flies ” SONGS OF THE KANKAKEE “Thoughts At The Home Os Jessie .1 allies'* By Edgar A. Houser. I trod the beaten clay up to the place. A little house grown shabby with the time. Where sun and storm alike had left a trace. Upon the Cedar roof and walls of pi n e; Four small rooms, the front is where he stood Upon a chair, while arms above his head. He placed his mothers picture that he could. Gazed on her likeness, and the love it shed. No man is wholey bad who still can “ hold.
