rs on TEE FARM.
Why Some Tillers of the Soil Fail
While Their Neighbors Get
Rich and Prosperous.

One serious leak on a great many
farms is the buying of machinery aud
then leaving it exposed in all kinds of
weather. l have in mind a farmer who
has self-binder, corn planter, sulky
pillow, walking pillow, two cultivators.
two top buggies and two wagons, and
he leaves them standing out in all kinds
of weather. l consider this a serious
leak and there are many farmers who
do the same thing. Another leak on
many farms is lack of proper shelter
for stock. know men who let their
milch COWS stand out in all kinds of
weather and then feed 80 per cent. corn
to warm them up. Another leak is
the very prevalent one of feeding young
stock a ration that will simply MAIN
tain them during the winter. Many
times we see calves and colts that are
not ten pounds heavier in the spring
than they We're at the beginning of
winter, and practically all the feed they
consumed during the winter was lost.
[ once asked a farmer who follows
this plan how much he thought his
calves had gained during the winter.
He replied that they had not gained
anything except age, but they were
five months older. | fail to see where
the IL months calf that will weigh
500 pounds has any advantage over the
seven months calf of the same weight.
To feed five months without any gain
is serious leak and one that is too
common with many farmers. Another
leak that is so common that it is the
rule rather than the exception is the
wasting of manure. All manure made
on the farm should be spread on the
fields, especially on the poor spots. Still
another leak is to try to farm too much
land, and consequently grow more
weeds than corn. l know one man
who grew less than 25 bushels of corn
per acre this year on account of under.
taking too much; the weeds took the
corn. The same man has 40 acres of
rough land that has good bluegrass
sod. He is going to break it up for
corn in the spring, and that will be a
serious leak on his farm, for he has
more land under plow now than ne can
attend to, and he will only grow more
weeds and lose the 40 acres of grass be-
sides. Then another leak is keeping
any kind of stock after they have passed
their prime and begin to go down.

About two years ago a fairly well-known

Wheat Farming in Nebraska.

A Nebraska paper tells Of man who
bought farm there, upon which there
was mortgage of 500. He did not
make much money the first year, bur he
sowed 50 acres OF wheat the next year.
1t was poor year for wheat aud the
stand was so poor that he thought he
would not harvest it. He returned to
his old home, and left the farm and
the mortgage to fight it out as they
pleased. The wheat ripened, fell to the
ground and seeded it we'll. There was
fine crop, and as some one was kind
enough to write about it to him, he
went back, harvested il and sold it for
enough to pay the mortgage and ali bis

An IMPORTANT DECISION
RENDERED. BY THE STATE sU-
PREME COURT IN AN IN
TERESTING CASE.
THE BROOKE COUNTY COURT
Reversed in its Decision in the Case
of State vs.. Wheat-DefendnntW Was
Convicted on Charge OF selling
Without License, Because of So
licitafion of Orders by Mail.

An important decision was rendered
by the State Supreme Court of Appeals
a few days ago in the case of State VS..
Wheat. The judgment OF the Circuit
Court of Brooke county was reversed.
The opinion of the Supreme Court pos
sesses local interest, from the fact that
the defendant in the criminal proceed
ings IS a Wheeling man, and because
the decision will have an effect upon
local brewers and liquor dealers.
Harry Wheat sent to Wellsburg and
other parts of Brooke county, through
the mails, printed matter soliciting or
ders for bottled beer, and did receive
orders through this method of solicita-
ton. He was indicted by the grand
jury for selling without license. The
case was tried, and it developed that
defendant had taken out no license in
Brooke county. He was convicted in
the Circuit Court
The case was then appealed to the
State Supreme Court and the lower
court was reversed, as stated above.
The effect OF the Supreme Courts opin-
ion in this case, is to make it not I'M
lawful to solicit orders by mail, not
withstanding license has not been taken
out in The county in which the solicit
tation and sales are made. Personal
solicitation OF orders would, as a mat
ter of course, be illegal.
