READING AND THINKING

There is absolutely no excuse for a
farmer being an ignoramus today.
There is every incentive and every OPP
portunity for him to become well in
formed as to his profession. The best
of literature touching all phases of his
business, short courses ut our splendid
agricultural schools, the farmers insti-
tutes. cheap books on agricultural top
les and the bulletins of the experiment
stations are each and all easily availa-
bic and entirely within the reach of
any cnterprising farmer The use of
modern farm machinery gives the man
who operates it plenty of time and OPP
portunity to at least work his gray
matter and think, and some sorts of
his Work-the operation OF the sulky
pillow, the corn plow after the corn is
well up and the mower on smooth
meadows will permit him to pull a
book or paper out OF his pocket and
read a bit as he works. It may be put
down for fact that the farmer who
will take l. minutes each day to read
practical matter along The lines of his
work will not only make more money,
but take Il pride and feel an ambition
in his work before unknown.

One Of the things which tire out the
farm wife is the irregularity of the
men folks in coming to their meals.
Next to having 10 burn green wood or
bring all the water needed for the
house from the stock well five rods
from the kitchen door, this slipshod
way of coming into meals at any time
IS the most wearing on the goodwife.
When a Waterbury watch can be got
for 81 and as there is time to wind it
three times during forenoon if neces-
sary, any man should be washed and
ready to sit down to dinner at 1880 if
that is the hour fixed. No man should
expect his wife to meet him with a
smile when he is usclessly and care
kssly late to his meals.

We do not know about sowing rape
i'll corn unless both crops can be fed
Off on the ground by either sheep or
hogs. a friend sowcd a part Of his
corniield with rape at the time Of the
last blowing. A big storm blew the
corn crop down in early August, and
the rape started up and soon buried
the corn almost out of sight. And he
had to wait until the frost killed the
rape before he could pick his corn.
This combination would be just the
thing for hog pasture where, with
portable fence, it might be fed off in
