The money you do not spend should be placed in the bank so that you will have somethjnp; definite to show for your efforts. Start today, and remem) r that a full day's work and the spending of no more money than ishecessary is the successful application of the "Work and Save" idea. vV !.

Some farmers have worked ut-., method of practical insurance agains-t crop failure. Cattle and sljos make money for them every year. Corti, damaged by drouth or hail will still yield a lot of silage and enable a farmer to keep hi, cot tie in good condition when otherwise ho would havo to dlsposo of them. Some formers mako a practice of filling their silo in a good yoar as an Insurance against drouth or hall. Corn properly, siloed will keep years.

This association was organized with a capital' stock of $10,000 hy the farm bureau supplying the stockholders and the farm bu reau members with pare'seedof the best 'quality. The association secur ed a seed house; bought a cleaner and scarifier and put a man in charge. It is reported that there was not a great saving in the prjee of seed' to the members but it is believed that a small dividend will be paid to the 100 stoA holders' the first year." Like many other lines of merchan dise, seeds are now sold at exorbitant profits. To our knowledge, seed were bought so that there Is a difference of from 30 to 40 per cent Increase uetween the buying and retail price. Why should not farmers handle their own seed houses?

The National and State Hampshire Swine associations offer to oach community, town or township $50, and to each county, $100, How much of this money shall Dakota county secure? This is going to de pend on the boys and girls and their parents. That club work gives young pcopie the right conception or agri culture, no one who has ever given it any thought over questions.
