Paying Toll to Rats.

Why should a farmer continue to
pay heavy toll of his grain to a horde
of disreputable rats, when one-half of
the annual loss from these rodents
would make a crib or bin rat-prOof
If the receptacle is built on stone,
brick or wooden blocks, with a sheet
of tin or zinc laid on top thereof, rats
can not enter, and will have to leave
and forage in the bins of farmers who
can not afford such precautions. After
a crib is built in the old way the con-
tents can still be protected by cutting
the tin in pieces four to six inches
square and driving them edgewise be-
tween the blocks and the superstruct-
ure, letting them overlap at the cor
ners. This is not hard to do, provided
the blocks are high enough so that a
man can work around them. Or any
old tinware, oil cans or anything from
which considerable scraps of sheet
metal can be cut, will serve the pur-
pose, and may be nailed around the
blocks in bands half foot wide. Rats
can not climb over tin.-Farm and

PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR.


Why ID It one man gets $50 per
week for experimenting ten men, all
of superior physical ability, who are
paid 50 week each. When a poorly
paid man manifests superior knowl-
edge Of his work he Is promoted, and
always get an easier job and better
pay. Once in a large factory some
thing got out of AK with an essential
machine. Several workmen were
called In to remedy the defect, but
after expensive delays, the manager
was advised to call in q certain ex-
pert. and he did so. The expert ex-
amfned the defect, tapped the machine
here and there with light hammer,
called for a monkey wrench, gave q
certain nut . turn Or two, and told
the manager to start up, for "she's all
right now" The well-pleased manager
conducted the expert to his Office and
asked him how much he charged.
"Twenty-one dollars" was the reply.
"Is not that a heavy charge for ten
minutes work. asked the manager.
I'm only charging 81 for the work" {"
said the machinists. "But / charge
$40 for knowing how" There Is al
ways a demand and good pay for men
who know how" Mere animated
machines are abundant everywhere,
but as knowledge is required to profit
ably operate such machines, economy
must get in it's work on the men who
have muscular, instead Of mental abil-
ity. The same rule operates the same
way In farming. A young man, who
knows how, and why and when and
wherefore, does not have to content
himself with farm laborer's wages.
Such men are in demand for higher
positions. as teachers in agricultural
schools, es farm managers, as expert
ment station workers, as breeders OF
live stock, as ranch managers. as orch
ard superintendents, in all of
which positions his physical labor is
less and his pay more than that of
the best farm laborer. For every dol
0Rr he receives for actual work done
he receives twenty for knowing how.-

ming, and work, to keep down expenses
in the poultry yard. Many people who
rear poultry successful allow their ex-

FARMER AND PLANTER.
SOIL CULTIVATION. /.
es~ depends UDon the stirrln4
UD ef the soil TAaa is Gem
orally Supposed. 7

ncfo Is 4 great deal more success
depending upon the cultivation or STIR
ring of the soil than is generally sup
posed. And for this simple reason we
sometimes greatly neglect it, thereby
anording us great loss in crops and in
the valuation of the soil for future
crops. No farmer or. any tiller Of the
land can afford to neglect it. 1t affords
great many advantages of which we
will only mention a few, and those
very briefly, in these few lines. In the
hrst place it was meant for man to
cultivate or till the soil, and it is
good thing that it was SO intended, as
it keeps him busy If tended right, and
a man should be kept busy. as it does
not pay to have any idlers. 1t was
meant for man to work and earn his
bread, and so I think this was
one reason why it was meant for man
to till the soil. Next, it helps much
more in retaining the moisture than
we might think. This has been found
by actual experience, during dry sea-
sons it is easy to see the difference be-
tween the well-cultivated crops and
those which were but half or not at all
cultivated. Often and shallow cultiva-
ton. if done in the proper way, and at
the right time, in dry seasons will
cause a dust mulch, and this aids
greatly in retaining the needed moist
ure. These may seem to be small
points, but remember that small things
are better than none, and that enough
pennies will make dollars. But here
would state that I call this "a rather
large pOint-fOr retaining this moist
ure in dry years is worth dollars to
the crops ON every acre, but | would
also say there may be places where
this practice may be overdone, though
not likely Next 1t stirs and breaks up
the ground so that it may come in con-
tact with the air. The atmosphere and
sunshine have great effect on the soil
thus treated, and then it lOOsens the
hard soil SO that the roots may pene-
trate it more freely, thus giving
greater rOOt-feeding surface-fOr this
point alone it would pay to cultivate
our land. If you don't believe it pays,
just give it a fair trial, and know you
will be convinced. Farmers should not
do anything which does not pay, and
hence if cultivating does not pay we
should not do it. But it does pay, and
therefore we should practice it exten-
sively. am in favor of less acreage
and better tillage. and believe it will
pay, although I have not tried it on
what I call a small scale. Why should
a man say that it does not pay to culti-
vate? do not see any good reason
which he could give. l believe every
body will agree that it pays we'll. Our
experiment station has tried it and
found it to be SO, and every farmer
who has tried it, or has seen other
comparisons, knows it to be all right.
And so I conclude by saying, that 1t
is all right, and profitable in all cases
when done in the right way. Better
cultivation is what the American farm
er needs and more of it. That is one
reason why want less acres, so they
can be cultivated better. But what
ever we do, let's have thorough culti-
vation and we shall reap the greater
harvest and profits.-E. J. Waterstripe
