SYSTEMATIC THINKING.
Intelligent Brain Work Is as Neces-
sary on the Farm as in the
Business Office.

It is not always the man who works
the hardest that prospers most We
frequently find men who seem to do
little hard labor, yet they get along
better and clear up more money every
year than their neighbors who work
in season and out of season and take
no time for rest, study or recreation.
That these facts exist no one of an OBJ
serving turn of mind will deny. The
reason for it is not hard to discover.
The Creator in His all-wise judgment
gave man the power to reason and
think. The command to work was no
more imperative for man than was
the IDEA of improving his thinking
powers. Our most successful men are
those who think to the best purposes;
not those who think the most. Idiots
think as much and just as hard as our
most learned men. 1t is the trained
thinker who succeeds. It takes time
and energy to think and plan to pur-
pose. No man can wear himself out
at hard bodily labor and get best men,
tai results. The mind is always affect
ed by the condition of the body.
The fact remains also that some
men are mentally lazy. Some men are
industrious and hard working but they
do not like to think and plan and
scheme. Such men are easy prey for
those who do scheme and plan and
think, and the results of their labor
are often enjoyed by those who work
their intellects instead of their bod
les. There always has been and al
ways will be a premium on Intelligent
brain work, and the sooner some men
realize this the better it will be for
Unconditional Stockman.

Reservoir for the Farm.

There is one thing that every farmer
should do, if his land is in such shape
that he can, and that is to dam up a
ravine on his farm SO as to form lake
not a mud-hole, but a lake. know
hundreds of farms on which this can
be done at little expense and depth
of ten to twenty feet of water secured.
l have noted many sorry attempts at
building dams for this purpose, the
work being less than half done, with
the usual result-a broken dam and
shallow puddle. 1 have also seen the
work well done, and fine lake 200 to
800 yards long, 80 to 60 feet wide and
10 to 20 feet deep secured, from which
hundreds of pounds of fish and tons of
ice are taken every year.-Fred Grun-

Information Worth Having

The United States government dis
tributes nearly $1,25O,OoO yearly
among agricultural colleges. This
money is to help meet the heavy ex-
pense. necessary to secure the best
specialists in all forms of agriculture
and for the emination of the in
formation gathered in their expert
mental work. Much of this Informal
ton is published in the papers in the
form of bulletins, and despite this fact
you will find farmers who sneeringly
refer to this class of literature as
"book farming" Specialists in agri-
cultural experiment stations are
usually men who have been successful
in the lines they represent and are
eminently qualified to teach the re-
calcitrants who condemn book farm

The Time to Sell Crops.

1t is just as well, and little better,
on the whole, to sell the crops that are
raised for sale right from the field. 1t
Is to run no small risk to hold them
over with the hope of getting a higher
price. There is the extra cost of hand.
ling and storing, and not a little
shrinkage to boot. If potatoes will
bring so cents bushel in the fall, it is
safe to say that it is better than 70,
next spring. The same holds good
with most other crops. Apples will
shrink still more, for you are sure to
find that no small percentage of them
will rot, and so quick sales will pay the
best in the long run.-Agricultura

Modern System of Irrigation.

Irrigation is conducted upon an eco
nomical and unique system in the San
Joaquin valley in California. The
streams in the mountains are used to
run the electric machinery at power
house, and the electricity thus gen
Grated is transmitted to the fields be-
low, where it is applied to an electric
motor operating a centrifugal pump
which lifts the underfow from the
stream to the surface and distributes
it over the surrounding land as re-
quired. The farmer turns on his motor
and the water flows. When he has
enough he shuts 1t off and prevents
useless waste.

What a Windmill Con 10

An estimate has recently been made
of the capacity of a windmill running
ten hours a day for six months from
an interesting report on windmills and
their use, issued this year by the
United States geological survey, which
is studying the great plains to make
available these rich underground wa
ter resources. It was found that an
average wheel, IL feet in diameter,
with the wind blowing 16 miles an
hour, is capable of pumping 1920 gal
Ions an hour, 1920 in day of ten
hours, $4,000 each month, and 1885,
900 gallons in six months. This is the
work of only one windmill. Add to 1t
the work of hundreds and thousands of
others, and realize the vast amount of
water brought into use by this means.

A WORD OF ADVICE.
The Man Who Does Not Know His
Fields and Crops Will Never Be
Quite Successful.

Although we can gain livelihood
with less manual labor than did our
fathers of 80 or 40 years ago, yet if we
keep up with the manner of living OF
to-day, we must put into our manage
ment more method and skill than was
required by their simple and less lux
urious manner of living. They had
broad acres of virgin soil, upon which
they planted large crops, much to the
impoverishment of the land, and now
in order to overcome this evil and in.
crease the productivenes of our fields,
we must intensity our labor, and TIC
do this successfully requires knowl-
edge of the needed elements of this
productiveness. ccessfulfarmers are
those who understand these princi-
pies and practice them, while the I'M
successful ones are those who do not
know these principles, or if they do
know do not regard them. Misman-
agement, in many instances, is the
cause of the rapid exhaustion of the
fertility of the farm, and to manage
in such a way so as to produce good
pay my CIOpS anu not uuuuly eAHduSI
the soil calls for judicious planning
and management. Not every one who
calls himself farmer is one. He may
pursue the business after a manner,
but in point of knowledge and skill he
is wanting, and at best is merely an
imitator. There are many in this class,
and most of them fail because they do
not understand or properly adopt the
best means of maintaining the fertil
ity of their land. Often they cultivate
more land than can be conveniently
cared for, and this of course results in
Indifferent cultivation, and poor crops
usually follow poor cultiva ton. Such
farming makes a sterile farm, the
drain upon it being the same whether
large or small crops are grown. Then,
again, there is the widely practiced
method of growing grass for the rails
ing of stock to be sold off the farm.
This can bemade very profitable if con-
Quoted rightly, but the piling up of the
manure In the lots and sheds, where
it lies and teaches away, instead of
using it upon the land, is anything but
profitable. We must have something
to replace the heavy drain upon the
land. Innumerable are the farms I'M
der this ill-managed system of farm
ing.-B. F. Litton, in Prairie Farmer.
Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1901-10-18

The farmers of the state of New Jer-
sey paid, within period of IL months,
the snug sum of 81, 600, 900 for CONNER
cial fertilizers, in order to furnish
requisite plant food to exhausted soils.
If that little state put out such a
vast sum, how much must the farmers
of Illinois, e. g., with seven times the
area, pay under like conditions of
soil exhaustion? Better still, answer
this conundrum by firm resolve on the
part of every farmer in our rich west
to take proper care of his soil through
wise crop rotation, summer fallow and
the use of legumes which do so much
to supply needed defciencies.-Farm
