The all too common tragedy Of the

the ugly bull at the head of his herd is
constantly going on The Bible says.

is safer to trust prince than a we'll
hammered bull any time.

1t is interesting TO note that one lot
of bright and brainy men are in ses-
sion in the state of Iowa discussing the
best method of getting the water out of
the soil while another equally bright
lot of men are in convention trying how
best TO get water on to the soil out in
Colorado.

This Is the very latest: A farmers
wife took some nice looking rolls OF
butter TO town and sold II to the village
storekeeper. After making the rolls she
scooped out the center and filled the
space with water, closed up the hole
and laid the butter where ii would
freeze up. Such ingenuity deserved a
better subject. She lost her patron and
her reputation just for the. paltry gain
OF half dollar or So

Now here is the unfortunate case of

We are asked how 1t Is best to apply
barnyard manure to the soil. The best
way is to haul it out as fast as made
and scatter 1t either on the meadow
land or pasture or on the plowed fields
to be cropped the following year. 1t
used to be thought that it should be
well rotted in the barnyard and then
turned under deeply with the pillow.
Men know better now. Where one has
manure spreader most satisfactory re-
suits can be obtained by putting from
seven to ten loads per acre on the corn
land just before or after planting.

More farmers than ever before are
studying how best to change their
methods of farming so as TO dispense
with the annoyance of hired help. Dali
rying is being abandoned more acres

place Of the COWS. Too many men have

There is a growing disposition on the
part of farmers to draw the line on
keeping horses for their hired men. II
is claimed that the hired mans horse Is
always the best fed, and cared for OF
any animal kept on the farm. 1t is an
innova ton which would not have been
listened to for moment twenty years

1t permits TOO much girl business. In

An old man. known as miser. died
the other day in his wretched old shack
amid the utmost squalor hith and hu-
man degradation. His last act was to
feebly ask for pencil and paper, when
he wrote. look under the floor Of the
kitchen" When this was done after
his death. large tin can containing
thousands Of dollars In gold was found.
This was real case of a fool and his
money being parted. 1t is an easy
thing to earn money. harder thing to
save 1t and still harder to know how
to spend it intelligently.

In spite of rapidly multiplying elec-
trio roads and the automobile. displac-
ing. as they do. the horse In some lines.
the fact remains that in spite of these
the good horse has brighter future
before him than ever before. The love
of good horse will never grow less
in this country. and there is no safer
or more certainly profitable business
on the farm today than producing the
right kind Of horses. The foreign de.
mand for American horses Is growing
rapidly, for the horse can be raised
here cheaper than anywhere else.

So extended has become tie tele-
phone service of the country that pa.
irons should get posted up on the or.

Ice. On a party line, which most Of the
country lines are. 1t is discourteous
and unneighborly-bad manners any
way you fix ito listen to what your
neighbors are talking about. This thing
practiced will very soon be found out
and give person bad reputation.
Again, II is equally bad manners to
hold the line for trivial and useless
talk when some one on the line wishes
to use It for business. Your call should
be answered promptly. and a decent
regard for the feelings Of the operator
at central should be observed.

One OF the marked changes in prog
ress among the American people now
in progress is the leaning toward the
farm. the desire to own piece of land
and TO know how to cultivate it. AT a
prominent agricultural college in the
west twenty years ago there was in an
enrolment OF 600 students but just one
that was taking the straight agricul-
tural course The rest were fitting
themselves TO be doctors. lawyers. par
sons. teachers and mechanics. At the
