him thousand dollars.
"Sir, said the servant to his master,
"here is man in great hurry to speak
to you. He says he can save you thous-
and dollars"
Out came the master.
What ia that, sir 4? You can save me
thousand dollars?"

BOARDING FARM HANDS

The Willamette, Oregon, Farmer
thinks that it is the hardest country
in the world for the ''women-folks''
on farms. Help for them is always
scarce and generally poor, and many
farmers wives have entirely too much
labor on their hands for either health
or happiness. It says; -" We
urge farmers to build tenant houses
or their hired help, quit boarding
farm hands, hire married men who
can live on the farms with their own
families, and you will all be more
comfortable, live longer, and have
more money in the end,-if that is
the end, although it ought not to be
at all, Of life.''
The advice is good, and has often
been urged before. 1t is applicable
to all farmers who keep hired help
the year round. A certain amount
of permanent help is needed on all
large farms, and it is to the interest
alike, of the tenant worker, and the
landlord, to make the labor mutual
ly beneficial

COWS THAT KICK WHEN MIXED.

MANY of our best COWS dislike to be
MIXED, and are f ssy and uneasy when
YOU set the pail under them This is par
ticularly the case with the Jersey grades.
Instances Of this kind seem to be more nu
merous than formerly, and are most COM
monin diaries kept under the forcing sys-
tenn adopted by those who supply milk for
the market or cheese factory.
In many or perhaps INST cases, COWS be-
come addicted to it after having been
MIXED a few years; though quiet and
gentle the first year of their milking.
Their is no doubt that the production
of large quantity of milk is often at
tended with sensation Of soreness and
exhaustion, in the tactical palts, which In.

milking, the best thing that can be done
is to fastpn the foot with a rope. Make
the end Of the rope fast behind her, take

in this neighborhood in this condition.
Nearly all of them are superior mixers.
The extraction of a large pailful, twice "a

milk, can exert no other than az exhaust,

MIXED FARMING IN ENGLAND Alder.
man Mechi believes in mixing farming,
as all sensible farmers ought. He thinks
that the diminution of Englanp's sheep
stock to the enormous extent Of nearly
100000 head is great agricultural cal
anity, from the direct loss of capital suf-
fered by the owners Of the focks, and
because the food producing power of the
country has been seriously diminished by
being deprived of the manure from so
many animals. Flock masters, however,
are now, he says, receiving some remu-
neration by the greatly enhanced value
of this stock aud non. breeders will be
compelled by the high prices they have
to pay for lean sheep, 20 do something

PRAIRIE FARMING IN ILLINOIS A cor
respondent from Du Page County, ILL.,,
a resident since 1912. commenced farming
operations in that year by breaking the
"raw prairie" from to inches deep with
the pillow. He found that the more deep
ly plowed sod rottcd much the sooner.
Part Of the first years breaking, sown
with oats, yielded about 10 bushels per
acre. The remainder of the breaking was
planted in seed corn, dropping the seed
In every fourth row, tapping the turrow
over the corn. This part of the breaking
yielded from % to 80 bushels per acre
The following year, the sod not yet hav-
ing sufficiently rotted, the furroWs were
turned back again, narrowed three or
four times, and sown with fall wheat.
There being but little snow that winter,
the wheat mostly troze out it was "ball''
wheat. Next season another fallow was
sown in "bIue stem" wheat, yielding 40
bushels per acre. The land was plowed
in May, and again just before seeding
time, which was during the fall moon of
September. The seed was sown broad
cast on six-pace land, at the rate of
about 2 bushels per RcIe. The ground
was cultivated with broad shovel-plow
and then the grain was covered by a
small triangular drag. In twenty five
years, farming on this system, our cor
respondent never failed TO raise good
crop of fail wheat.-AgricuZtmr0l Report
