Your first thought may be that ALL SHADES JUST doing well enough at RECEIVED. you are Mr. So and Sos. The fact that you have traded with him so long, causes you to believe that he is the cheapest man in town, or perhape he has told you in secret that he would always give you a special price. Now take a second thought, and think of the possibilities of a CASH STORE. Think of their ability to undersell the man who buys on a credit and sells on a credit at a loss of from 10 per cent, to ad infinitum, Of course his paying customers must meet this deficiency. This is only one item though a large one in favor of THE SPOT CASH STORE.

Almost all farmers appreciate the profit there is in cows, and the fact that they maintain the good condi tion of the soil and tend to add wealth in more ways than one. But how is it about hogs ? They go well with the dairy, It was a mistake to get scared at the time when hog cholera prevailed—at least to get so scared as to give up hogs altogether. We know a great many farmers who made money out j of hogs the past year. Hog chol- j j era has not prevailed so extensive¬ as in some years in the past. But it seems to be the fact that on many farms not a single hog is to be found. As some one has said, these farmers are throwing away enough milk and refuse from the table to keep a good sow or two, and, besides raising their own meat, have a nice little bunch to sell each year. ( « The idea seems to prevail among a great many,’’ sa /j this writer that unless you own or are operating a large farm, there is no place for the hog. This is a very mistaken idea. There can be just as much made in pro¬ portion with hogs upon small farm as on a large one. “Few are the farms l it matters not h^size) that will not supp O’ a brood sow or two and do it wel), with scarcely any other fetd than the milk, parings and refuse from th^ table and a liberal supply of grass. Sows kept in this manner will, as a rule, have more pigs, and they will also be healthier and stronger. Alter the sows have their pigs, push them along and do not let them become stunted, be¬ cause a pig stunted when it is lit j j tie will never make the hog it iuauU continually nl growing. n J -» J 1 1 After . * the . j pigs 1 will weigh from 60 to pounds, j if •£ .. they ure nice, • „ growthy, ... s ^ fellows, . ,, there .. • always , attractive is a market . for c them.

Keeping bees is a pleasant and classic occupation, sanctioned by poets in all ages ; moreover, and to the practical modern this is far more important, it is a paying bus iness when scientifically conducted. The number of beekeepers in this j country is estimated at about 300,-1 000, and they sell annually some ' 3.000,000 or 4.000,000 pounds of their sweet produce. In every state of the union they may be found, but Florida, California, Col orado, New Mexico, Arizona, Mich¬ igan, Wisconsin and central and northern New York, are the great beekeeping sections, Wherever great quantities of basswood, buck¬ wheat and, of course, clover, are found, there beekeeping means a pretty good income. Some farm ers have 1,500 to 3.000 colonies un der their care, and have reduced —--------* -- 1 Iu Colorado, Arizona, and states the neighborhood . , of c the great . in 6 desert, ’ the honey J crop ‘ is as sure as anything cau well be—even the proverbial L, , “death and taxes, Elsewhere the clover crop may , be ruined by rain or drouth, but there the sun is sure to shine and theca nals are sure to irrigate, so that lack of clover is practically impos sible. And it is alfalta clover, too, of which four crops are certain every year. Under these conditions it is not surprising to find in Ari- j zona and similar states whole coun ties keeping bees as in other parts of the country people culti vate farms. It is, in fact, the only certain thing in that ill-favored land, as the alfalfa clover is the | one green thing that cau coax a livelihood out of inhospitable soil. Maeterlik has written a book . about the bee; perhaps some phi losopher will one day rise to sing the praises of the clover, living where nothing else can grow, and, alone of all “weeds,” enriching the •oil which gives it life, Arizona folk may not be philosophers, but they are properly grateful to the kindly blossom. If the story of the clover is some¬ what romantic, that of the beeswax is hardly less so. Several hundred thousand pounds of beeswax are produced every year, and prices are steady and conservative. Much of :t goes into commonplace uses, Shoemakers, dentists, thread man ufacturers and the like use much oi it, and cannot use anything iu its place ; glassworkers, too, require it for moulding purposes ; but the in teresting part of the beeswax bus¬ 1 iness comes when it is exported to 1 Russia. The Greek church uses I nothing but pure beeswax for its candles ; this, apparently, is an ec clesiastical law. So beeswax is ! exported in enormous quantities to ; burn in Russian churches. When the price is low—-26 or 27 cents— all that can be produced is bought up for exportation. It is distinctly an interesting career, this of the beeswax, beginning with the irri¬ gation of a desert and ending as the candles flicker before an eastern shrine.—New York Tribune.

We lighten our own loads when we lift others, Men will trust the church that really trusts God. No man lives honestly till he has seen God openly. The best way to hide God is to try to analyze Him. All the rivers that bless the world have their rise in God. The man who prevails with God will not fail with men.
