INTENSIVE FARMING.
The Farmer who Makes the Best
Use of All His Opportunities 10
the One Who Will Succeed.

"Results, that's what counts" was
the inelegant but forceful expression
of one of our great men in comment
ing on his party's work in congress.
If the remark be applied to farming
its significance and truthfulness lose
no force; rather, is peculiarly appro-
pirate. There are theories and theo-
ries, and endless ways of doing things,
especially in farming and stock-rais-
ing, and no one method can be select
ed and proven superior under all cir
cumstances to any other. There can
be but one test, and that is results"
In farming, the man who does the
most with the. available means is
rightfully accounted most successful.
After all, success is a relative term,
in which the positive and superlative
degrees are widely separated. 1t would
be strange situation, indeed, If all
farmers were equally successful in
their calling As well expect equal
success among business men. Neigh
bors on adjoining farms who are con-
fronted by the very same conditions
of soil, climate and moisture are very
seldom equally successful. Eliminat-
ing the element of luck, there is no
reason why these neighbors should
not be equally successful if the same
methods be followed. Probably no
case can be furnished where the true
cause for variation in results can not
be reduced to the question of method,
alone There is probably no farming
community in the country that is
without its farmer who appears to
get along somewhat more easily than
his neighbors. His crops not only
appear to grow more luxuriantly
than those of his neighbors, but they
actually do. Similar conditions are
found in all the departments of his
farm. 1t appears as if nature were
willing slave to obey the commands
of this fortunate man, whose instruc-
tions never prove amiss. and whose
plans never fail. The results OF his
methods are visible, and by carefully
observing them they may be initiated
to the advantage of those who desire
better results from their farming.
Let the reader take any one in his
own community who is successful
above the average. and study his
methods, and certainly It will become
apparent that his success is the on
spring of intelligent endeavor. He
makes a partner of nature rather
than poorly paid hireling. He has
his mill ready to grind when the
wind blows, and his crops receptive
for the shower. In short, he does
al he can, and strives " benefit hen

HERE AND THERE.

"A Georgia farmer made 500 from
an acre of watermelons, and the
nearest doctor made, $500 from the
same acre.
Nothing is worth doing at all II
it does not need doing immediately.
Man commits sin by crowding his
mind with put-off jobs that he ought
to finish up at once, or as soon as
they present themselves.
No one should keep fowl after IL
comes from another place il it shows
indication of disease, as there is no
knowing the nature of the disease
until it fully develops, and then it may
be too late if it is of contagious
character.
1t is quite essential to bear in
mind the fact that a horse differs
very much from a cow or steer in its
digestive capacity when planning to
feed. A horse needs a condensed ra,
ton; a COW or OK can handle one
considerably more bulky.
Keen appetites and good health
are boon companions in the chicken
yard. Keep your growing chicks
moderately hungry all day, but late
in the evening give them all the
grain they will eat up clean, and a
little more will not hurt.
1t is curious fact in nature that
the flowers that yield honey will also
produce as fine fruit as il none Of
their products had been drawn upon
This arises from the fact that the
nectar or honey cup is one organ
and the ovary that produces the
fruit distinctly another.

THE MUCH ABUSED HOG.
Some Farmers Seem to Think Any-
thing fl Good Enough For the
Hog, and to Their Cost.

Perhaps the whole range of farm
life no better-or worse-example OF
''let well enough alone" can be found
than in the case of the poor neglected
pig. AS we all know, this animal will
live and, to certain extent, thrive un-
der the most adverse conditions
There. are always a multitude OF
things to be looked after on farm:
some of them must be looked after
promptly and thoroughly or they will
be complete losses; others can be
somewhat neglected and still counted
on yielding a fair return. The hog,
of all farm animals, of all farm work.
is the most accommodating, the most
patient of neglect, hence the hog il
the most neglected. He may be put
into a pen scarce large enough fol

the rain and without straw for bed.
ding, and yet he will grow and ado
his full share to the farm profits. As
a pig-clean, keen and healthy-he 10
put into his narrow quarters, perhaps
into four or five inches of oozy mud
as left by his predecessor, and from
that on to the time when he too is
ready for the pork barrel, there il
but one thought regarding him-to
feed him to his fullest capacity. The
farmer is not so much to blame as
might appear at first thought. He is
very busy, the pig is very accommo-
dating, the results in any case fairly
sure. True, few hours work would
mean a good pen, with sufficient
shelter, and clean ground and straw
for bedding; but there are fields to be
made ready, seeds to be planted, crops
to be looked after, all impatient of de-
lay, so. as the pig grows and grunts
on contentedly, he is passed over and
the other things attended to. Now
his pork may look all right, and sell
for just as much as though he had
been exposed to the influence of pure
air and sunlight instead of being shu,

TROUBLE BEGINS.

Trouble begins with the first back
ache. Backache comes in many
forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp
stitches, slow exhaustive aches.
Most backache pains are kidney
pains.
The Kidneys fail to perform the
duties nature intends them to do
and the warning of trouble comea
through the back.
Neglect the kidney warning, grave
complications will surely follow.
Urinary disorders = Diabetes
Bright's Disease-are the downward
steps of neglected kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure every kid
ney and bladder sickness and the
cure lasts. Read this proof of it:
Mrs. Adam Guntle, residing at 701
South Plum ST., Charlottesville, Ind,
says: II made public statement in
1897 saying that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured member of our family
after he had suffered for years with
weak back and kidney troubles.
He took three boxes of this remedy
and was completely cured. Now
three years have elapsed since ]
