It is not probable that any effort whatever to keep farm ac- count, and it is still less probable that more than one in ten keeps ac- counts in any degree comprehensive and accurate. A.me1-chant or `manu- facturer who would undertake to do his transacti-ens. would soon land in bankruptcy. It is true farmersdo not buy and sell so extensively as merchants or manufacturers. but constantly investing labor in pro- ducts. and labor is a. thing of value _)l.l.SiL as much as silver or greenbacks`. The whole problem with the farmer. as with the merchant, and the farmer. factuzrer. is to employhis capital and labor in such a way that it will bring` him the greatest possible returns. No one would venture to contend that a concl'usi'on would be arrived. at as ac- curately by guess as by careful -cal- culzitio-n. Neither ivoukl anyone venture to deny the assertion that in thesedays of close competition the most` careful calculation capable sometimes of determining on is found. Book-keeping is essential to good farming it is the only means by which `the farmer may determine accurately which lines of farming are which he may know what percent of profit he realizes from the business as` a w`h-3-la. Let any farmer who has never done so, keep account for a year and he will have his eyes opened to more than-one thing he never sus- pccted. more than one farmer in five makes` business `without keeping a record of they have capital employed, and are alone is which side of the account the balance- profitable an-d which are not, and by 3 %C*CQ- -- 5 SEPCIAL ICE" FOR FAMILY TRADE.~ The ever-increasing demand for ice seems to make it necessary to uti- lize all desirable sources or supply.

The grandmother of the past, sweet, patient, `unselfish as she was. allowed herself to be relegated to cap, spect- acles and the chimney-corner before She reached 50- She early developed w.rin=kles, gray hair and faded cheeks. and was brain-starved and heart- hungry, no doubt. becasue she was looked upon` as hopelessly out of date. ' The grandmother 0! to-day thrills with the joy of living; The crudeness of youth and the experiments and -mistakes of early middle-age past, she experiences to -the utmost the ful-_ nees and richness of life. She knows herself as never before. She has grasped life's meaning. she has learn- edby mistakes, and she is enriched Iby -experience.` She has her clubs, `her lectures, musicales and traveL She knows the value of a sound. phy- sique, and takes lessons in physical culture. Shea [has some one absorb- ._ ing interest outside of home. to `keep from narrowing, which is the ;fault of the severely domestic wo- 'man. She would shudder at the {thought of allowing herself to de- generate _into a. mass of ponderous fat or to become stoop-shouldered. She has her daily bath or rub-down, herhairdresser, manicure and mas- seuse. She is far more helpful and V oompanionable to her family than if i she allowed herself to be etfaced and r crowded out of life's pleasures. as . did her prototype of a tow decades . back, who oft sat alone with the mo- notonous click of her interminable `lnnitting as the sole accompaniment `lot her solitary thoughts.

The sale of the carpets, which were Persian, and about 18ft. square. embroidered with real gold, caused much excitement. The most eager bidders were two groups, French and German. Bidding` began. at 888, and the Frenchmen secured the prize for 1,708, which is regarded as nearly 1,000 below the real value. Two oth- er equally splendid carpets from the ` Estrella Convent,-,were also announc- ed for sale at another date, but pub- lic feeling has become so strong that the sale has been eountermanded.
