This little pointer is thrown out by
the Marseall Reporter: cit would be
an eye opener to farmers who ship
their grain as it comes from the ma
chine and stand the dockage for dirt,
to see the thousands of sheep in stock
yards near the twin cities fattening
on the screenings which the elevator
men get out of their wheat, and it
would be revelation to them to see
with what ease four or five men take
all the care necessary to keep 10000
sheep thrifty and gaining in flesh.
1t takes brains to devise economical
ways of feeding, and these stock yard
feeders have the business down to
the finest possible point"

What we want is more boys who
can figure how many bushels Of wheat
it will take to seed farm and how to
raise good crop from that seed;
more boys who can tell an engine
from a coffee mill and can figure the
difference in the cost of each, and how
much it will cost to run them; more
girls that can figure the cost and make
good baking of bread; more girls
who know more about keeping house
than they do about translating a
Greek or Latin sentence. Litchfeld
