tPracticai Farmer in Honest ad.l
The first wagon bought ! paid &110
for and then had to pay s. extra for q
spring seat priced a very good look
ing wagon recently at $42. still have
the hrst wagon bought almost thirty
years ago. It is used for hauling fod-
der and light articles. These wagons
are much better by being cut Gown and
they are made more convenient by hav-
ing q platform built on them.
"A friend told me he visited one Of the
large implement houses several years
ago at about this time Of the year and
the merchant had piled up about
dozen car loads OF bob sleds. Upon be-
ing asked what he expected to do with
so many sleds he said he was going to
sell them. He said: II have watched
the business for years and have never
missed it yet. IT, during the month OF
September and the first half of October
the weather turns of cold and unpleas-
ant after each rain, there will be plen-
.ty Of snow that winter and sleds will
be in demand. II the temperature re-
mains high and turns off nice and
pleasant after rains in that time, keep
the sleds in the background, as but
Very few of them will be sold. If this
is sure sign the sleds will remain in
summer quarters this winter, as the
weather was all that could have been
asked for after each rain.
If any of the pumps on the farm are
out of repair 1t is better to haze them
fixed now than when the weather gets
cold. Some people will prime a pump
for whole year rather than spend ten
minutes fixing 1t so it will "stanG." 4
know man who priined a pump for
three years. He would be printing ii
yet, but it tirally gave out and now he
is hauling UP water with a rope and
pail. Is there any call for such man
agement?
wish plans for working roads could
be thoroughly discussed at farmers
institutes this winter and this matter
so ngitated that finally some means of
getting the best results out Of road
working could be obtained. This coun-
try is sadly behind in the matter of
good reads. Much of the work Is more
than wasted. Some of the Intentions Of
supervisors may be all right. but EooG
intentions do not always work out as
IL may appear they Will. Everybody
wants good roads. How TO obtain them
is the all important question.
Potatoes that are TO be put in the
cellar for use OF he family should be
we'll sorted. 1t is no use to put a single
potato in the cellar for use that is not
Al for use. The people Interested in the
cooking will sort them over and select
the incest from time to time and II
small potatoes are there they will soon
be in evidence on the top of the heap.
It's no wonder that the price OF land
is going up when farmers are brought
nearer town by the aid of free rural
mail delivery and telephones. Good
roads and electric cars will work still
greater advances. In some localities
the advantages are so great on EARNS
that miliionaires are moving on them
and engaging in agriculture. College
bred farm managers are sought every
where TO manage such places. The man
with n good farm, favorably situated,
with all modern conveniences, will
think twice before selling his farm.
The bulk OF the corn, If not all of II.
ought to be In the crib by Thanksgiv-
Ling day. i never was Very fond of
husking corn on that day. but believe.
If working that day would let me fin
Iish, | would work hard and eat turkey
at dinner. One can be thankful while
husking corn If he is inclined to. Most
men feel that an abundant harvest is
| the result of their labors only. This
may be true. but one ought to be
thankful for the skill and health to di-
lsrect such labor. Give thanks and see
THAT the corn is in the crib.
While away from home recently
met a man with load of straw and
asked him what he obtained for 1t now,
He said: ~ haul ii to the city and ge;
1 81 per tom" 1t strikes me that grea,
Ideal of straw is permitted to go Il
waste that could be turned to accounl
4 in more ways than one. / usually, feed
4 straw In winter to horses that are moi
]engaged in heavy work. / like5to have
