There are large sections of the coun-
try that are past the STRAW burning
habit, that have not reached the high
err plane of farming that runs the
whole output of straw into manure
either by drawing it into the feed lot
to be trampled over and worked over
by the hogs or using it as bedding for
stock. Straw used for the latter pur-
pose not only keeps the stock warm,
and clean. but helps to absorb and hold
the liquid manure till it reaches the
manure heap or is drawn to the fiedl.
In either case it increases the amount
of manure made. Be liberal with straw
in the stable.-Farmers' Voice.

Importnnce of Good seed.

More than ever before farmers are
realizing that paying crops can only
be raised from vigorous, plump and
well preserved seed. The old idea that
any seed which would terminate will
answer was delusion, and the cause
of many unprofita bic crops. When buy
ing seed, insist that your scotsman
guarantee it will terminate promptly,
as this will indicate seed from vigor-
Gus, healthy plants. Then, too, the
seed must be large and plump. They
will have enough plant food to start
the young plant early, getting it out OF
the way of late drouths and early
frosts. If you use seed produced on
your own farm discard all but the very
best, test it for vitality, and be salts
fed with nothing which has the leasi
indication of lack of vigor.-American
Agriculturist.

TRUE WORDS, THESE.
fessiOn That Is Worth Studying
from Day to Day.

1t is almost impossible to starve on
a good farm, but it is not difficult to
get very seedy and hungry in almost
any other profession or line of husi-
ness. That is possibly the explana-
ton of the years and ages that have
passed with no general attempt on
the part of farmers to give their sons
professional training in the profess
sion of farming. Tn other lines neg
lect of the rudimentary principles of
the business would have resulted in
failure swift and sure, but the good
old farms have carried along hum
dreds of thousands of shiftless I'M
appreciative men VINO seem to care
to know nothing Of the business eX-
cept to pillow. sow, and reap. That
class of farmers is doomed Slowly
but surely the more desirable lands
of this great and fertile country
will pass into the hands of men who
have learned at the great agrlcul-
tural colleges to appreciate their
value and possibilities of great prof
it's from such lands when properly
handled. This is just and necessary.
Our population is increasing rapidly
and the day will come when the ccun-
try cannot afford to have its produc-
tive lands occupied by farmers who
produce no more than One-third the
material for food and clothing that
such land should bring forth. The
possibilities in life for the profession
al farmer are great and the field
broader than any other, says an ex-
change.

81 noticed in yesterdays Times
Democrat" remarked a man who is
a close reader and is automatically
inclined, "the query as to where we
get the right 70 borrow in mathema-
tics. and by what authority We do so.
The explanation is very simple, and
it is on the same principle as sub
traction in denomilate numbers. Let
us take. for an instance. the table
giving "a hours to the day, 30 days to
the month and twelve months to the
year On the ascending scale. days,
months, years, it will be seen that
each unit of higher order-that is,
it takes "a of the first to make one of
the second, and 80 of the second to
make one of the third, and so on
Therefore if we should subtract G
months, 20 days and 10 hours from {
months 10 days and hours. knowing
that day is simply unit Of a high
er order than an hour, we reduce the
day to it's equivalent value in hours,
add this to the three. making it q.
and subtract. We could just as easily
take all the months and days on both
sides, reduce them to hours and sub
tract, but we tske only one day, be-
cause it takes less time. That ex-
plains why we borrow the day.
We now reason by analogy instead
of hours. days and months, units, tens
and hundreds are taken as in the first
case, it takes ten units to make one
ten, ten tens to make one hundred,
etc. each being a unit of higher
or lower order Therefore in sub
