What n Farmer should Know.

In agriculture, as In manufactures,
success consists in securing the lar
gest and best production at the
smallest expenditure of force, time,
and money. Evidently the farmer
who aims at such success must have
an understanding of plant life and
what proportion of its sustenance it
draws respectively from the air and
the soil. He must know the chemical
constituents of the latter and the
treatment which 1t requires to restore
the plant food exhausted by his crops.
He must have a knowledge of the
climates demanded by different cere-
ais, vegetables, and fruits. He must
be acquainted with the diseases and
insect pests which endanger both
plant and animal life, and should
know how to treat them. He should
be familiar with the principles of an
imal nutrition and the value of foods.
In addition to all the expert knowl-
edge 7. quired, there are those mental
qualities which are developed by sci
entidc trsining,-a keen perception
and an alert habit of mind, a full ap-
probation Of the value of facts and
hospitality TO new ideas, together
with that flexibility which enables it's
possessor to adapt himself more read
Ivy to changed conditions. Evidently
the farmer OF the future will not be
"the man with the hoe. "-Success.

The Aovantarcs of Farm Life.

II Is the farmers boys who are most
likely to succeed, whether in business
or in professional life. Spending
most Of their time under the open sky,
breathing fresh air aud eating simple
food, they are more likely TO have
vigorous health and strong consti;u-
tions than are their city cousins.
Brought into constant contact with
nature, they absorb a great deal of
useful knowledge, and acquire habits
OF observation. Then, too, the regu-
lar farm work, the "chorts g." and
numberless other little things keep
them we'll occupied, and enable them
70 feel that they are earning their
way, thus giving to them a sense of
independence and cultivating a spirit
of self-reliance and manliness.
The performance of deal of
drudgery is an indispensable prepara-
ton for all real success in life what
ever the occupation. A boy who is
afraid of work or of soiliug his hands
need not expect to accomplish much
in the world. Country boys have
their full share of fun, but there are
many oissgreeable duties on a farm
/ which farmers boys learn to accept
as a matter of course. Edward
Eggleston, speaking of the value of
his farm training when a boy once
said TO me: ~ learned one thing OF
great value, and that was TO do dis
agreeable things cheerfully. - Sac

OUR FARM Frs.
Two N,w ErrerIment statinn RuIletin.

Two New Experiment station Bulletins
The Vermont experiment station
has Just issued bulletins 100 and 101.
No 100 discusses paying for separa-
tor cream at the creameries. It
points out why more should be paid
proportlonatslv to those patrons who
sell cream than TO those who deliver
milk. Some creameries do ms Ike this
distinction; but more do not; and all
should do so. II also indicates some
OF the common errors OF cream samp-
ling and analysis and suggests means
whereby they may be avoided. Ev-
cry patron OF a cresr cry, particularly
those who own hand separators,
should send for and read this bulletin.
II may be had without charge for the
asking.
No. 101 discusses the feed trade of
the state. II warns buyers OF cotton
Sc d meal to be particularly watcbful
lest adulterated goods be foisted upon
them, since there are indications that
these will be offered this fall in larger
volume than hitherto. 1t describes
simple means whereby anyone may
detect such authorizations.
Either or both OF these bulletins will
be mailed without charge to any ad-
dress on request. Inquirers desiring
to receive future issues should ask
that their names be placed on the
mailing list. A postal card addressed
to the Experiment Station, Burling-
ton, Vermont, stating desires, is suf-
fcient.

Cheap Help May BE Expensive.

A letter from a reader Of the Trib -
une complains OF the high price paid
TO hired men. have found that
there Is nothing more valueless than
a cheap hired man. Ten dollars a
month is thrown away on a man or
boy who cannot fulfil the require
ments that the farm demands. Twen-
ty-five dollars a month is none too
much for a man who Is capable and
willing. We can throw away on a
cheap man ten times all we pay him.
DoRgedness alone, and the fret of it.,
is enough to more than compensate
for the additional pay of a frank,
good hearted fellow. Another way
in which / have lost is by unkind
treatment of animals. A man who
kicks the cows and beats the horses is
dear at any price. A cheat can soon
dry up the cows by poor milking. In
fact, you cannot turn in any direction
where poor help is not exceedingly
costly. My advice is, hire, If possible,
a thoroughly good man, and you can
afford to pay him good wages
