SUCCESS AND FAILURE,

In every business, some men pros
per and some men fail, or exc out a
bare subsistence. 1t is often the poor
young man driving spikes on the rail
road who becomes boss of gang. 1t
is this same boss who is promoted to
superintendent of construction for an
entire section; then to assistant gen
eral manager of the road, and there is
no telling where this upward move
will cease. Many millionaires have
taken this course and graduated at
the head of their classes. Why has
Andrew Carnegie been so conspicu-
ously successful and old Larry Laclan,
who worked by his side thirty five
years ago still working for $3.50 a
day? The former studied his bust

HARpINe,s IDEA A GOOD ONE.

Innovations are the rule at state
fairs this year and none has equalled
in merit that suggested by Frank Hard
ing, president of the Wisconsin Short
horn Breeders association, which re.
suited a display of cattle bred and
owned in the state at Milwaukee this
week. 1t is an idea entitled to place
in the category of good things and
should be pushed along.
In every state are many breeders in
small way compared with the owners
of crack herds. They have neither time
nor inclination to put their cattle in
show ring form to enter the big rings,
but would avail themselves of an OPP
portunity to participate in a state
show, such as was held at Milwaukee.
and these shows would be as invalua-
BILE to farmers as object lessons, in
structing them as to the value of pure
breeds and inspiring them to make in
vestments.
State cattle shows should be feat
ure at every state fair That they do
not exist now is one salient reason
why bovine displays at many county
fairs exceed those at state events

AMONG FARMERS.

The following pertinent and sugges-
tive comments by the Rural New
Yorker are worthy of consideration:
GAS usual at this season the papers
are full of stories about great cooper
ative plans. The farmers of whole
states or sections are reported to be
joining hands and forming mighty
combinations. We seldom report such
things, for they seem to us mere Wis
ionary schemes large to live
Farmers have not yet learned
how to band together in large
masses for mutual protection and
business. They are learning, but
first of all must come the
small, compact club or co-opera-
tive plan. This will teach confidence
and show the possibilities of a larger
business. The farmers corporation
must begin at home. That's a good
place for any worthy enterprise to
start We have no confidence in the
plan of trying to bind together thou
sands of men-strangers, who are I'M
trained in the art of getting together
Let us get our training at cooperating
at home!"
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1902-10-15

former tried to do his work better
ambition of the latter was to get as
much pay as possible in proportion to
work done, and hence he gave as little
work for his stipend as he could and
yet held his job. If he had spent a
little thought upon the subject he
would have realized that he was greas-
ing the pole he intended to climb. 1t
is not only necessary to think but to
think right thoughts in order to rise
in the world. He who studies only
his own temporary interest will re-
main on the ground while those who
tellect will go steadily up the ladder of
success. The Irish hod carrier, when
asked if his was not very hard work,
replied, ct is not the worruck I'm
doing. l just carry up the brick and
morthar. The man at the top of the
lather does the worruck" The bod
carrier got $3.50 per day; the man who
did 1.-The worruck" got $3.50 per day.
1t was the skill acquired by faithful
effort of mind and hand that made the
difference. There are many farmers
who spend their lives without ever
studying labor-saving and time-saving
processes by which others are pros
pering. They are wearing themselves
and their farms to a FRAGILE with OBJ
ject lessons easily accessible, plainly
exposing their folly. The farmer who,
with the liberty of choice before him,
deliberately or without deliberation)
continues the old methods and old i'm
plements can rightly blame no one but
himself for the bad fortune which has
been his companion through thick and
thin. Men who fail in business, or who
fail to work their way upwards do so
from choice. They have refused to
pay the price of success, which is la
Dor, study and perseverence.-Fran
P. Holland.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1902-10-15

Speaker Henderson has been quoted
at a Rural Mail Carriers Association
convention in the west as saying that
he would see that the interests of
these faithful public servants would
be taken care of by congress and that
the service was placed on an equal
footing with the city carrier service.
1t is hard to believe that Speaker Hen
derson has been accurately quoted in
this, especially if the equal footing is
meant to imply equal compensation.
The rural carriers now receive $500 a
year, which is just double what they
were paid during the experimental pc
riod, when official computations were
made as to the cost of this service
were it to be greatly extended.
The department then told congress
that this would be a fine job for the
es and cheap hay-something to fill in
the spare time with and make a little
ready money. On this basis congress
went into it. The cost in a few short
years has already doubled, and the
rural carriers are more than ever
eager for more. Instead of being OBJ
scure farmers boys they have become
political magnates of considerable con-
sequence, and feel that they should be
compensated in proportion.
The union of rural and city carriers
in all future movements for increased
compensation may produce some inter
esting results. Heretofore the weak
