Strange as it may seem, the English
man knows nothing about pork and
beans.
Good health seems to be largely a
question of getting hold of the right
breed of microbes.
A mortgage on the farm is a good
deal like a corn on your toe. 1t is al
ways reminding you that it is there.
The man who stays at home on cleo
ton day and husks corn has no right
to kick on the way the government is
run.
A friend killed his strawberry bed by
dosing it with a heavy covering of hen
n A little of this fertilizer goes
q long way.
Neither church connection, wealth
nor social standing should prevent the
dirty patron of a cooperative cream
cry from being promptly fired.
WhQD a NAME ipnonno dooc not nv
coed $3.50 per day, it comes that his
good wife has to be a permanent COM
mittee on ways and means.
The beefsteak and the roasts begin to
show the effect of the large crop of soft
corn which is being fed literally to get
rid of it before it spoils.
The length of time the heifer is kept
in milk during her first tactical period
will largely determine the length Of
time she will give milk in future years.
The machine which will successfully
husk corn has not yet made it's appear
ance, but the machine which will pick
cotton has and is reported a great sue
cess.
We have been taking up the tea
roses, geraniums and cannas (the LIST
of November. and boxing them with
earth will hold them in the cellar for
the winter.
Style in a horse is worth in the mar
ket good money. This is the product
partly of good blood and partly of
training. Horses and men are a good
deal alike in this particular.
In crossing a railway track it is al
ways best to concede the coming train
the right of way. Some ~foolhardy peo-
pie won't do his and make work for
the parson and the probate court.
The hollow brick as a building mate
rial is making great Roadway all
through the country. 1t is every way
superior to the solid brick and costs
less money for structural purposes.
Perhaps one of the very best ways to
keep seed corn is to bury it in the oat
bin; at least we know of several men
who always care for their seed corn in
this manner and never fail to have it
grow.
A man is pretty greedy and avari-
cious when he will deliberately send
the first three days milk of a fresh
cow to the creamery, and he is not
only a greedy man, but a mighty mean
n also.
We feel like saying again If you do
not want to lose your hogs do not stuff
them on soft and new corn. While it
may seem to be the best way to use
the poor corn, it is quite likely to prove
an expensive experiment.
If thrift and econom practiced by
the New England farmer could be COM
bined with the push and enterprise of
his western brother, every such man
with a Mississippi valley farm would
find eighty acres plenty of land.
Don't be afraid to feed the pumpkins,
seeds and all, to the COWS. Some old
moon prophets claim that the seeds
will hurt the COWS, when old bossy has
just the right kind of machinery to
make the best possible use of them.
The difference between a thirty dol

If you run an count with a store
keeper, as SO many do, don't be mean
enough to send off for your goods when
you happen to have the cash. The maj
who accommodates you is certainly en-
titled to the benefit of your cash trade,
Some folks are mighty mean about this
thing and deserve more of a roast than
would be proper for us to administer.
Agricture Is developing wonderfully
in Mexico. The old-fashioned farming
implements which have been in use
since the days of the Aztecs are giving
way to modern American machines and
tools. The soil and climate are very
c~ongenia1, and three crops may be raised
on the land in one year. The poems
make good laborers when under proper
direction.
