In Preparing to set out an orch- ard we wonld select a field afford- ing natural drainage and, if pos- sible," natural shelter; that is, if one has a grove or hedge on the farm to 'take 'advantame of, as a shelter for the orchard, for thére is not much use growing fruit and nea] would make iirbupid PY 2 ra Oh 35 Joplios that, lady, ok. at.» ith 'an accent of' depreciation in Jack at, sain pn 'Yes, »she is very hand- | autumn winds. +A row of cherry phy is| some, but too pale and her eyes |trces planted thickly around the "in too large.

They are based upon personal ex- perience. Determination to suc- ceed might, perhaps, be set down a3 the first rule but it must be pre- sumed that it is the gateway through which a young man enters upoa the pathway of his active life. CONCENTRATION. So the first rule to be stated is this: Concentrate your wind and efforts upon one pursuit. Never mind what that pursuit may be, so that it is useful and honorable, make it the centre of yous thought. I don't believe in a too broad { @pplication of that old saw, 'Don't put all your eggs into one basket." | There is a time when 'it is unwise advice, Such a time is when you are pre- paring to enter upon some pursuit, i trade; a business, or a profession. | Then put all your eggs into one basket; and watch the basket. Put all your thought and your enérgies into that one thing. More men fail e win competence and wealth from icregard of sthis rule: than from &ny other chuse. |& Master your vocation, when you {Bave chosen it. Don't try to be a Jack-of-all-trades, Tha: result may be that you will be master of none. § For a second rule. be advised not to be content with simply perform- ing the part assigned you. Do not measure your day's "work by the {hands of the clock, nor grade its quality by the amount of compensa- tich you may have been promised. | "The successful worker is the one | who takes pride inldoing his' work well and who regards the few extra { minutes devoted to'itias well spent. { IE you suceéed in doing more' and better work than your employer ex- pected of you,'it will bees much to your own interest as to his, for if ke does not perceive that you are | more valuable to him than he anti- jcipated, he will lose you eventual- ily to some other employer who will | seo' what there is in you." = / VALUE OF WORK. Then, for a third rule, do not be eager to make too good a bargain {for yourself, A good market may be lost throwgh over-estimating the value of goods offered. .This is true of labor, mental or De fair in your business.

Men who be- come great millionaires, co-operat- ing as they must with others, must secure and hold the implicit confi- dence of all people with whom theiz business brings them into relations, They must be reputed to be fair liberal and considerate in all things. = Their word must be bet ter than their bond, and their de sire to do the fair and liberal thing better than either word or bond.* My next rule is. never speculate. To gamble 'in : stocks is not more culpable than to gamble at Monte Carlo, but it is less sensible. The chances between winning and los ing are not so evenly divided, ¥ None of the 'rules for success more important than the fifth. gin early "the habit of saving : portion of your earnings, no maf tar how small your earnings be. Tf you aim to be a millio 0 or even fo have a competence u which to retire from routine activi- ties, the habit of saving is indispen- sable, 3 But you cannot save unless yop observe the sixth and final eg this series. It is, you must live & gober and discreet life. + That d not mean that you.must live a du life by any means. Life is full of possibilities, for enjoyment, and there are few of them that you need to ignore, i NO, INTEMPERANCE. Avoid intemperance, however. That is the stumbling block that hax thrown many a young man:from the path of success. I do not like to preach to young men, but because I have practised from my youth what I now recommend to you upon the liquor question, it is not ous of place to say let liquor alone. A young man may perhaps wisely take @ glass of wine at dinner, bu it is Hot wise to go beyond that. As to drinking between meals, it may mean the opening of the sluice thas will carty-you into the slough of detpond. 3 There is a qui general impres- gion among the medical profession, I believe that after a man 'is forty' the occasional glass is not harmful, but beneficial. Just 'postpone test- iag the benefits of intoxicants until then. Or, it might be a good rule for young men to resolve that they will not make this test until they become millionaires. = This would probably give a majority of them, to say the : least, time to think the matter over and render a final decision, shaped - by not only deliberate but by quite natural judgment. ot -
