BUSINESS IN FARMING.

The Conduct of Other businesses.

Tho Farmer should Learn Lesson fror9
The Conduct of Other businesses.
In an address lately delivered before
meeting of Massachusetts farmers, A.
X: Eastman said the farmers should
study to draw information, and learn d
lesson thereby from other industries:
All others have men at their head who
have knowledge of all their branches
and needs. They know what every ar
ticle costs from the time it is started
till it is finished and shipped. The
farmer should know fully as much, but
he does not as a too common rule, and
what is more, persists in plodding
along without any thought of making
better his condition by understanding
the business affairs of his business.
All orr wealth CAME originally from
the farm and the mine, said Mr.. East
man. The miner knows how much
each ton of coal or ore costs TO mine
it, and how much it costs to trans
fer it to the final purchasers hands,
Why should not the farmer know just
as much about his products; and why
does he refuse, year after year, to
put himself in possession of this knowl-
edge? He should not only know what
every product costs, but from which
comes profit or loss. Only by studying
his business in every detail can he know
this, and it includes knowledge of the
value of fertility taken from the soil by
every crop he raises, as fertility is an
item of expense. If the grower of o
crop knows all this, and the other items
of cost, and has an account of sales and
the money received, he will know il he
has lost or made money during the year.
Intelligent farming, like intelligent
directing of any other industry. will
alone insure success. The farmer here
after, in any locality, or in any branch
of diversified farming, must have a thor
ough knowledge of it or he will fail.
He can not longer follow in the old
beaten path, nor pursue the idiotic, hap
hazard methods of his grandfathers.
The times have changed and we have
changed with them-that is, some of us
have, and the others must, or the sheriff
will sell them out.
For example, in old times in this couo-
try we could skim the lands and get
along fairly well on the comparative
meager returns they gave us, but not
now. We must go deep enough to bring
all our soil into use, and to utilize all
the moisture thrown upon it by nature.
Every edge must be made to cut, and
we must know that every edge is cut.

Young Man OF aaIEane Leaves Home in the
Night and Dies on the River Bank

Grant Myers, son of Calvin Myers Of
Muivane, who has been suffering with Ia
grippe for the last three weeks, though
not Frustrated from the ailment, nor map
ifesting any unfAvorabIe symptoms, met a
tragic cad yesterday morning. He called te
his father at about sis o'clock TO get M
and light the lamp, which he did, aud Just
then the young man passed down the
stairs, unlocked the door and went out
This movement. being unusual, attracted
his fathers attention, and as soon as he
could dress himself he followed down
stairs and out into the yard to ascertain
the cause of MS sons strange action The
premises were searched, but no trace OF
the young man could be found. and the
search was extended TO the immediate
neigh borhood with no success. Abont
O'Clock the town generally was apprised OF
the occurrence and searching parties sent
out in every direction. No trace OF the
missing one could be found in any direc-
ton until IL o'clock. farmer boy named
Moore came in and reported that he and
his brother, who had been out hunting,
had discovered the body OF a dead man
about two miles from town.
Friends of the missing man At once went
to the spot, and their apprehensions were
verified by discovering the one for whom
search had been made, lying upon his
back cold and rigid in death.
The sGpposition is that the young man
had became demented from the effects of
the disease, had left his home, without
clothing except his night clothes, pair of
thin socks, and an old shawl thrown about
his head and shoulders, and ia that con-
dition hurriedly wandered off toward the
river, (the family home is about three
quarters of mile distant from the Arkan-
sas) Subsequent tracing shows that he
must have travelled at least five miles.
He had gone into the river several times
in attempts TO cross it but the floating ice
that filed the stream drove him back
each time, and the body was found
seventy-five yards from the river bank,
where, overcome by the cold, he sank
down upon the ground and died.
He had not been confined TO his bed nor
the house during his illness and made no
further complaint than is common with
persons similarly affected.
Young Myers had just been elected first
liuetenant of the local post Sons Of Vet
Grams, which organization will have
charge of the funeral o6sequies which
will be held Sunday.
