regulate their rations during the laying
season, and this is not possible when

| we never saw man well enough off
| so that he could afford to leave his
iarm implements in the burrows where
ne las. USED them, OF leaning against
the side OF the barn; neither did 1 ever
| see one VINO was so hard pressed that
ne could not afford to build a shed to
| receive these tools when the season
closes. Inc fact of it is, the well-to- do
everything as he went along, his tools
included. That is one secret of his sue
| cess.
| "A new swindle is capturing some of
the New York farmers. A man comes
around offering patent wagon tongue.
| Inc FARMER does not buy, but the agent
leaves the tongue to be called for in a
few days. Shortly another of the gang
comes and sees the tongue, is very ia
vorably impressed with it and offers
| $400 for 1T. The farmer thinks he sees
his chance to make some money, sends
the first man $3.50 for the right to han
die the tongue, and that is the end of
the matter. Man No. 2 disappears and
4 IL.
| Some hen ailments called cholera are
| not cholera at all. Most of them will
! disappear if the drink and feed and
| quarters are all right. Filthy water

| Salt is rarely of any use as fertil-
| izer proper. The elements of which it
| is composed, says p H. Jacobs, are
| fOlJn6 in most IN c11ffi Oia
amounts for all except for such plants
| as asparagus, whose natural home is
| by the seaside. But salt is found in
practice to have much more value than
! would be supposed. It's effect is best
on land rich in vegetable matter, which
| the salt, in the small amounts usually
| applied, helps to decompose. In large
| quantities salt is a preServative from
| decomposition, but no farmer would
| think of applying enough to injure his
| land.
We have heard someImen scold at
| their horses when at work so that one
| might hear them half aimile. When
ever we hear a man doing that we
think he needs educatingfar more than
his team does. We wonder if we ever
will have schools where men are "brok-
en-" after the plan NOW pursued of
breaking" colts? Don't you think they
are needed?
Autumn is kind!
Her ripening days
Bring us fruit galore,
Pumpkins bright and rootslto store
Man, restless from the suns fierce heat
NOW finds balm, a ceStleSS treat,
No better could he find
The high price for meat results in
the feeding of many Icalves for the

profitable business, but is should be
properly pursued. Farmers should not
be induced to sell their most promising
heller calves for this purpose, even at
good prices, for thew should be worth
much more on the farms for COWS, or
if not all are wanted they would sell
very readily either as heifers or COWS
to those who desire superior stock.
The success of orchards depends a
good deal on the location. Orchards of
all kinds should be planted on hillsides, |
where there is both air and water |
drainage. Air drainage is more i'm |
portant factor than is generally sus-
pected and is most generally over
looked. In selecting stock for planting |
get tiff possible-from a reputable |
nursery in the same latitude After the |
buds have matured and the leaves fall
len the trees may be planted at once.
Very late planting in the fall is not adj
visable. If a shipment is delayed until |
too late to plant safely, heel them in !
and wait till spring.
Why not call around at the school
house now and then? If she is a good
teacher she will be glad to see you and
she deserves every encouragement she
can get. If she is not good one you
may make some suggestion for her i'm
provement Go visit the school anyway
The life of the nation has it's roots in
the public school.
We are sorry for the man who is
always going to do this job" but never
gets at it to carry it through. The road
to success is strewn with rocks of this
kind. Doing counts.
Let the owner of a cross bull turn to
and read Exodus 21:29.
The small farmer who cannot afford
to purchase a pure bred sire can US
ally arrange to breed his COWS to the
bull owned by one of his neighbors.
Every farming district should be pro-
vided with sufficient number of pure
bred bulls to supply the local demand.
Nowhere does the careful observer
and experienced eye see greater waste
of energy and time than that exhibited
by farmers. So many seem to think
the number of strokes of work is what
will count, regardless of how they are
placed The fact is, many are over
come by absolutely unnecessary
drudgery A man may work for years
and accomplish nothing beneficial,
while another may work one-half as
much and accomplish more and better
results, and receive much more pleas
ure as he goes through life. Men some
times work themselves out of health
and home. If we were to stop to think
a while and recuperate ourselves we
would do better in every line.
Fussing with the COWS may seem
small business for a man grown. But
life is made up of small things, any
way, and kindness among the cattle is
no mark of small nature. On the con-
trary, it proves a man to be just as
good as the animal he pets; and it all
pays the best way, too. Kindness al
ways does pay.
Well-placed work is what brings the
profits. Good management will enable
us to use our labor and time in per-
forming things and using things that
