The Farm and the Man.


How any farm should be cropped
depends upon where the farm Is, Its
character and location. Some farms
are by nature pasture farms, Because
they are not adapted to cultivation;
other farms invite tillage. Size, too,
is a controlling factor. A crop rota-
ton and schedule of farm work that
is admirable for fifty acres may be
wholly impracticable for five hundred
or a thousand. The ambition to own
and cultivate broad acres Is an Ameri-
can disease. This disease Is not so
much a desire to add to worldly pos
sessions as 1t is for a qualification Of
the ownership Of dominion; when an
alyzed it will be found to be feature
of mans kinship with nature.
Another and the most important fac
tor of all is the man himself. The
man makes the farm good or bad, as
he makes everything else that comes
under his control. The experience OF
one farmer is invaluable to another,
but each farm is nevertheless a separ-
ate and local problem which the farm
er must think out and work out him.

As TO rom LrMPs or SUGAR.
Some Stolen sweets. . Typewriter Girl
and q Lucky Horse.

A neatly dressed young woman, evidently
a typewriter in one of the downtown ONCE
buildings, has been the cause Of a good
deal Of speculation among the mattresses
at little beef and beans restaurant OF which
she is regular MONDAY patron. Day
after day she comes in. eats a 15-oent ltinch
and, as she leaves. slips four Jumps of loaf
sugar into her handkerchief and carries
them away with her.
The mystery was what she did with the
sugar. Some of the mattresses commended
that it went into cups Of tea which she
brewed al home as part Of her supper.
Others said that she had sweet tooth ard
ate it, as one might eat candy, while at her
desk during the afternoon.
The taking OF the sugar has been going
on 40 long that every employee in the place
knows about 1t. and theories In explana ton
have caused as much discussion among them
as the question about the hen and a half

work and the mystery is no more. He
followed the young woman across Park
row and into the maze OF mail wagons in
the rear of the Post ONCE.
There the young woman stopped in front
Of an old sorrel horse attached to mail
wagon. As she approached the animal
pricked UP his ears and got what he eS-
pected One after another the Jumps of
sugar were licked OF the typewriter's

The amateur detective reported his dis
covery at the restaurant. The manager
smiled when he heard the explanation, but
evidently had no objections TO donating
q few lumps OF sugar to the horse, for the
young woman still continues to walk of,
each day, with four Jumps OF sugar.
