THE INTELLIGENT FARMER.
He Gets the Best There Is Out of the
Farm Because He Puts His own
Lest Into 1t.

|
E. L. Vincent says in Farm and
Fireside: Few of us get the best
there is in our farms. That is be-
cause we do not put the best there
is in us into them. There isn't much
use in expecting great things ON the
farm unless we are willing to plan.
work and study how to get those
great things. How shall we go at
it to do that? In the first place, the
soil must be in good state of fer
tllity. This means that we have
carefully saved up every particle of
barnyard manure we have, and have
seconded this effort by judicious
use of commercial fertilizer. 1t
means, too, that we have not pre-
viously cropped the land to death.
Then we will plow thoroughly. Not
one man out of ten in this country
knows how to plow; or, if he does,
he has not the grit and the gump-
tion to do it. Once in awhile we
meet farmer who insists that this
part of the farm work shall be done
thoroughly. He is on the way to
success. 1t was an old Scotchman
who said: 'Ye dinna ken how to
plow in this coontry; ye on'y
scratch the groom And that is
about what most of us farmers do
we scratch the ground. And again,
to get the best there is in our farms
we must use the harrow more faith
fully. The farmer has no better tool
than good harrow. I say good
harrow, because hosts of farmers
have not such a thing as frst-class
harrow on the place. They are work
ing away with the same old v
shaped drag their fathers used, or
else have picked up at some sale
worn-out thing not worth bringing
home. No good work can be done
with such tool. Harrows of an up
to-date pattern are reasonable in
price nowadays, and every farmer
ought to have one or more Good,
clean seed is requisite, too. No
use to sow seed that will not grow,
or that is full of weed seed. This
may mean the purchase of fan
ming mill, to be used in recleaning
seed. We may better do this than
to seed our farms down with foul
weeds. But, finally, we will fail aft
er all if we do not keep the weeds
1own in every crop that can be cul-
,iVated. This means steady work
tor few weeks in the spring of the
year, until the potatoes have been
lilled up and the corn is too large to
admit of working a horse through |

other things being equal, the man
Who puts himself into his work as
have here described may rest as

Water supply for Hogs

Very few farmers realize the i'm
portance of giving hogs all the pure
water they require at times. In
many places they are watered once
or twice day. The lots and pas
lures should be so arranged that
the hogs can get to the water trough
whenever they desire it. This is es-
pecially important during the hot
days of early spring, as well as the
excessively hot weather in August
