TWO KINDS.
Farming For IA Living Only or Hs a
Business Proposition.


There are two classes of farmers
one which farms because the farmers
do not know how to do anything else
and because it is the easiest way 10
make living and get along somehow
for the time being; the others farm
not so much for living as because
Ii is their chosen business. They dc
not think of getting along somehow
but of getting ahead, accommodating
improving the farm, increasing its fer
tility, all with the object of making II
a better manufacturing plant and q
better business proposition.
The man who farms as a business
adopts business methods as far as they
are applicable to farm operations, keeps
books. knows his income and outgo
takes an inven DRY Of stock. has system
In all his methods and knows approx
mately what every crop each year has
cost him in cash or its equivalent In Ia
Dor. We have small hopes of man
who Is simply farming as a means OF
getting through the world somehow
take hold of the problems that are pre-
scented to him from week to week In
the farmers papers. The probability
is that he doesnot take farmers pa
per at all and would not read 1t If he
dids' He wants some paper that Is
cheap and will not compel him to think
too much and won't get after him. Il
is the man who farms as business
farming for dear life. farming to make
a success OF 1t and to make success OF
himself and f"mily, that Is the kind OF
farmer we are looking for. We can get
his attention.
These men may not believe all VT
say; they differ from us in good many
things and we think none the less OF
them for that, but we can do then
some good. We have not much hope Of
doing the other fellows very much
good even If we could reach them
Our only hope Is in reaching their boys

We need fully developed farmers
that we may surround ourselves with
fully developed farms. There is more
In the man than there is In the land.
The farm is a good place on which
to be born, on which to live through
ones prime work, on which to die.
The best preventive of bad luck is
good management on a farm or else
where.
Mighty little moss you will find be

CORN FED POULTRY.
Do Not Fear the Plump, Comfortable
Looking Hen In the Fall.


The early development of the pullets
getting them started to laying, etc
and the incoming to laying again Of the
early molted hens depend very large
ly on the system of feeding during the
early fall months, writes a Tennessee
poultry man to the Southern Guilt
vator.
In the first place 1t does not pay to
be too economical. The hens must
have more than enough to mercy sus-
tain life and pull through the shedding
process. They must have all they will
eat and can digest. Indeed, at no time
in the year is liberal feeding more I'M
perative than In the fall. 1t Is neces-
sary to enable the fowls to mott out
healthy and vigorous and to start that
peculiar process of storing up minia-
ture eggs to develop as soon as the
strain of reclothing for the winter Is
past. And in accomplishing this pur-
pose nothing is more helpful thar
plenty of corn.
The corn fed hen Is vigorous, she
takes on fat, and 1t requires oil to
make feathers, and for this reason a
liberal supply of corn at this time ae-
complishes a double purpose-it grows
feathers and flesh as well as fat and
lays the basis for fine clutch of eggs.
Do not fear the overfatted hen in the
fall, but beware of the underfed
scrawny thing that hasn't enough oil In
her body to sustain the new feathers,
and 80 goes only half clothed until the
cold weather comes on, leaving 1t In nc
condition to lay until the next spring.
1t Is the same way with the pullets.
They require an abundance OF food to
keep up the growth of feathers, to
give them full, plump bodies and to
start the egg formation process. The
plump, healthy pullet soon takes to the
nest in the fall, while the half starved,
thin creature lives through the winter
in q debilitated condition, to lay only
after the warmth of the springtime
shall have rekinded the spark of VI
tally and brought into action those
natural attributes that might have
been developed the previous fall by
proper feeding and care
Right now is the time for us to put
the hens and the pullets into condition
for a successful late fall and winter
campaign in eggs, and If we neglect to
do so now we need not expect eggs
where there is neither vitality nor suf-
fcient development to produce them.
1t may be added that liberal feeding at
this season is economical, too, for there
are in every flock few hens that viii!
continue to lay during the melting
period when fed right-hens that would
not lay under light feeding plan
and the eggs so gathered will offset
the additional cost of food, while we
will at the same time put the whole
flock in prime condition.
These thoughts are drawn from the
experience of long series of years
years that have demonstrated the wis
dom of printing the hens and pullets
in the early fall for the winter laying
