SHEEP OR COW.

A young man owning eighty acres of
improved land in Minnesota wants to
know if he could not profitably substi-
tute sheep for the COW, the COW not
making him money fast enough to pay
off pretty good sized mortgage which
rests on his land. We are inclined to
think he would make bad mistake to
make this exchange. If his dairy is not
paying him it may be that he had bet
ter test his cows and see if he has not
got lot of lady boarders and not
money makers. The cows which he
should keep on his small farm should
bring him in an income of $50 per year.
The COW is the poor mans best friend,
and If she cannot when well cared for
pull q fellow out Of the hole the sheep
would never do it. While few sheep
can be made to pay well on almost any
western farm, the exclusive sheep
farm seldom does. There are so many
ups and downs to the sheep business,
rapid changes in value of both sheep
and product, that they disqualify the
sheep from competing with the COW
and the hog in all our corn belt terri
tory. ry.~-~

CANADA THISTLES.

The old question of how to get rid of
patch of Canada thistles is before us
again. This pest throughout the north
west seldom reproduces itself from
seed, but spreads by an underground
system of sucker roots like quack grass
and bindweed. Constant blowing or
hoeing during a dry midsummer is one
Of the most effective ways of getting
rid of 1t, but this method is total fail
ure if it is wet. Heavy fertilizing and
the seeding of the land to some sort Of
smother crop, such as sorghum, rape
or sowed corn, will often dispose of
them. A small patch may be got rid
Of by a heavy mulch of straw, corn
stalks or tanbark, the secret of getting
rid of them being to prevent, in no
matter what manner, the growth Of
the thistle above ground, for it cannot
grow under ground when thus prevent

TRY THIS PLAN.

If you are on a farm and feel dis
contented and restless, wanting to go
to some other country or state, hoping
to better your condition, suppose you
study the problem over with a view to
making your condition better right
where you are. If the farm is wet, tile
It; if run down, SOW more clover and
fertiliZe It, If crops are poor, try rota-
ton, more cows and more grass. II
the home Is old and tumble down and
barns and outbuildings poor, build new
ones as far as you can and fix the
others up. If you and your family
feel isolated and lonesome, put in a
telephone and take a good daily paper,
keeping you in touch with the world.
If you have too much work, you prob
ably have too much land. Sell part
and take a little comfort while you
live. 1t will cost man not far from
$1,000 to sell out, pull up and get set
tied somewhere else, counting every
thing connected with such a transfer.
Put the $1,000 on the old place, and
the chances are no man could buy you
out. If you don't like your neighbors,
perhaps it's your fault, for a man
makes his neighbors usually good or
bad, as the case may be. There is no
elysium on earth, no spot where trou-
BILE, care and disappointment never
come.

THE MODERN ENGLISH FARM.

The English farm of fifty years ago
was a very different proposition from
the modern American farm of today.
There land was high priced and labor
very, very cheap, and so it came that
nearly all farm work was done by
hand labor-the sowing and planting,
the cultivation Of the crops, the reap
ing and moving and thrashing, all
tediously and patiently wrought out by
hand. Land rents were high, from $40
to SIS per acre. The price of farm prod
uce was correspondingly high, Ameri-
can competition not being then known.
The laboring men employed on such
farms were flxtures-in fact, almost a
part of the farm itself-and were con-
tented in their ignorance with their
humble lot, their plain fare and their
beer. The families were large, the
poorhouse generally full. Continued
emigration and American competition
in farm produce have changed condi-
tons, and today modern machinery
does large part of the work on the
English farm.

man. There are some rather obscure
references in it which will no doub,

book form:
THINGS AND THE MAN.
Oh, ye who hold the written clew
To all save all unwritten things,
And, half league behind. pursue
The accomplished fact with fiouts and
filings,
Look To your knee your baby brings
The Oldest tale since earth began-The
answer to your worryings:
"Once on a time there was man.
He single-handed met and threw
Magicians, armies, ogres, kings;
He, lonely mid his doubling crew,
In all the loneliness of wings;
He fed the flame, he filled the springs,
He locked the ranks, he launched the
van
Straight at the grinning teeth OF
things
Once on a time there was man.
The peace of shocked foundations flew
Before his ribald auestionings:
He broke the oracles in two
And barred the paltry wires and
strings;
He headed desert wanderings:
He led his soul, his cause. his clan,
A little from the ruck of things
Once on a time there was a man.
Thrones. powers, dominions block the
view
With episodes and underlinings:
The meek historian deems them true,
Nor heeds the song that Clio sings,
The simple central truth that stings
The mob to boo. the priest to ban,
Things never yet created things
Once on a time there was man.
A bolt is fallen from the blue.
A Weakened realm full circle swings
Where Oothan's dreamer dreams anew
OF vast and far borne harvestings.
And unto him All empire clings
That grips the purpose Of his plan;
Ny lords, how think you of these
things?
Once-in our time-is there a man?
-Rudyard Kipling.
