Everybody noticed the place of a certain farmer when passing - his home. He was a money-maker from the word go, owned a large farm, plenty of fattening stock, and was al- together very prosperous. His large house and barn and the surrounding grounds were what caught the eye. I could hardly believe that any man with so much ambition and success at arming allowed such a state of dila- pidation as was presented there. When the busy season passed and the new year fairly opened, I chanced to pass the place, and such a change had taken place as if some genius had suddenly transformed it. The house and barn had both received the first coat of paint for many a day, and rag- ged roofs had been replaced with new ones. A fence along the road was retained on account of stock being occasionally at large on the public road, and it was now not the ragged picket fence of old, but the latest yet not expensive type of woven wire, with splendid gates to match. Posts at other gates that had leaned from being too loose or. rotted were replaced . with fresh ones that were now straight and solid, and gates that had swayed and drag- i did not do so any more, on ac- count of being well reinforced and fixed for service. "The henhouse had been reconstruct- ed and whitewashed. - All the farm tools had a shed where they stood clean and ready for the opening of another season. Before this it had been somewhat of 'a custom to let the implements take 'the open weather wherever they happened to be left after the work was done. Hog pens were not now so near the house. Scrap piles had been remov- ed and sold, and the boys of the place got some extra change for their trou- ble. * And the result of all this improve- ment?
