OF this loss is chargeable to breed and a
part to poor feeding and finishing Beef

II the man on the farm can take one
Of his three boys and SO train him
that such boy will become good farm
er and be willing to take up the work on
the old farm when the time comes, the
father will do pretty well. 1t is not best
to try to keep all the boys on the farm,
even il it could be done. The farmer
should sort. his boys over and decide as
best he may which Of them is best fitted
for farm work. The Others he should
not hold down tight to farm work, with
only limited opportunities for an educa-
ton, until they are of age, but should
try to givselem chance when they are
fifteen to work out their own salvation
along other lines, with such aid as the
father may be able or willing to give
them. Bright farm boys are wanted as
the best raw material obtainable out Of
which to make good merchants, profess
sional men and statesmen. Now, in sort
ing the boys over, don't take the dullest
and most stupid one of the lot to make a
farmer of. Put that fellow where he
can get salary, and where some one
else will have to do his thinking for him.
The brightest boy of the three is none
too good to educate and train for the fu
ture farmer.

The Belgian Hare Craze.

The Belgian hare craze is spreading
far and wide and it will not be long un-
til nearly every community will have one
or more persons engaged in the bust
ness. So many extravagant and foolish
stories have been set ahoat about this
animal and the profits connected with
raising it that one hardly knows what to
believe. The truth is that the Belgian
hare is easily raised and cared for; that
it's pelt has but nominal value of few
cents; that its flesh is superior to that of
the rabbit and is not only wholesome
but is really delicacy; that it is re-
markably prolific, one doe producing as
many as forty young in year; that rails
ing it is more profitable business than
is the poultry business; that set of
sharpers are working the public with
the pedigreed and imported stock.

1t is all poppy cock to ask or expect
the farmer to keep his front door yard
nicely trimmed with lawn-mower as
may and should city resident. There
is too much to do and look after to take
care OF farm door yard in this manner
The best way to care for the front yard
in the country is to make it large, not
have too many trees on it and then run
the farm moving machine over it every
two or three weeks. BY so doing the
grass can be kept in very good shape
and the yard made attractive.

In answer to a query as to how fast
corn will grow, We say that We measur-
ed a stalk of corn which was one hun
dred and four inches high, the product
of fifty-four days growth. This was an
average of two inches day from the
time the seed was planted, and as it did
not grow above ground for the first week
and made but slow growth during the
cool days Of May, it must have grown
not less than three inches day for a
part OF the time.

The fertility of the soil, like good
health, is alwa!s easier to maintain
when possessed than restore when lost
AS matter OF fact, there is no. one
thing which should be more closely
watched BY the possessor of fertile
farm than this of the conservation of its
fertility. Under sensible and intelli
gent method of farming, the land should
never grow less fertile, but rather better
year by year Rotation OF crops, clover
and the conversion of the crops raised
into either dairy or meat products on
the farm are the three agencies which
will keep the fertility of the soil intact

The best ground for potato crop is a

The next best is a clover sod. The best
potatoes are none too good for seed. The
more barnyard manure there is in the
soil, the more scab there will be. The
two best varieties at the present time
are Early Ohio for an early potato and
Burbank for late. The quality of the

100000 farmers and farm homes are
now reached by the system Of rural mail
delivery. From small beginning this
system is growing at rapid rate and
has an immense future before it. Some
interesting results have followed it's
introduction; one that there has always
been a remarkable increase in the
amount of mail matter handled on the
routes, another, that fewer farmers come
to the towns, or rather they come less
often: another, that the field of the daily
paper is greatly enlarged.
A real curiosity m frhit growing Is to
be seen at Forest City, Iowa, being a
very thrifty and productive Wealthy
apple tree which is the product of a
Wealthy cion, grated on willow root.
The graft was made in this way: The
end of root from willow tree was ex-
posed in blowing a garden, and on this
root was placed the cion. 1t grew and
did well. The question is, does this
apple derive its nutriment from the
willow system of roots? If it does, there
might be point here worth considering.
