The Trained Farmer.

Farming is a great deal more than a
matter Of choice; it is q question of
training and aptitude. Nobody would
expect a gang of farm laborers to go
into a vacant cutlery shop and turn
out good knives and tableware. Yet
the mechanic who has done nothing
but grind and finish knives all his life
ia quite likely to talk as if a farm
were all he needed to become an ex-
pert farmer. His first attempt to milk
a COW or swing a scythe would show
him a thing Or two, not to mention
such a task as laying a drain, budding
a fruit tree, tending a sick animal or
ever to pillow a straight furrow in the
field. The man who has picked up a
lot of general knowledge about farm
ing by reading books and papers Is
apt to forget that most of the work
consists of details that can be learned
only by experience. The learning is
possible owing to the neighborly kind
ness of most farmers. Hard study,
good sense and energy will also, as in
other occupations, rapidly make up for
lack Of early training. But the point
is that nobody should expect to become
a farmer all at once. For a beginner
to buy a large farm with an establish
ed business is to merit almost certain
disappointment if capital is limited

Los Angeles, Cal, May 26.-The
Methodist general conference Wednes-
day assigned the sixteen bishops of
the church to their respective resi-
dences for the next q~uadrennium,
adopted the reports of the Epworth
League committee and the committee
on book concerns, balloted for editor
Of the Epworth Herald and held brief
memorial services in honor Of the
memory Of some Of the leading clergy
men VINO have died within the past
four years.
The day was noted for the tii]ibNs-
tering of those who were opposed to
the report of the committee on recon-
mendation of church b~enevolences and
others who wished to discuss the &C.
ton OF the episcopacy committee in
making the assignments Of bishops.
These opponents tried in every way
possible under the rules of order to
encompass their ends, but were de-
feated in the end and both reports
were adopted.

The Model Farmer Found.

A dairy farmer in Pennsylvania,
whose wonderful success was described
in Professor L. H. Bailey's series of ar
ticles in Country Life In America on
GLOW to Make a Living From the
Land" has now been approached by
the United States department of agri-
culture, which wishes to make his farm
the subject of a bulletin on model
farming. He objects, however, to max
ing his place the Mecca Of brother agri-
c%ulturists the country over unless the
government will pay him $4,000 down
or the same SUN in $1,000 annual in
stallments for his trouble. He began
with fifteen acres Of ground that would
not support two COWS and a horse. Now
the same land supplies food for thirty
five cows and two horses, bringing him
a large income from the place. It Is
one of the most remarkable instances
of practical results of model farming
in this country, as Country Life In
America points out.

Watch Your Potato Seed.

Potatoes for seed will bear watching
this spring. No Il will plant badly
frozen tubers, but the danger is from
seed that has been chilled enough to
weaken it's vitality. 1t may sprout
well enough to deceive the planter and
yet not have in it the possibilities Of a
good crop. There is little enough prof
it in the potato at its best. Planting
doubtful seed is fishing for disappoint-
ment with the most certain bait.-Ru-

It is stated that the Conoma and Yo-

Jackson, Miss, May 26.-With every
business house of any importance in
ashes, together with a1arge number CT
private residences, the principal no.
tel and the passenger depot, Yazoo
City, a town of 5000 people, forty
five miles from Jackson. is resting
after one of the most exciting days in
its history. The fire started at $3.50
a. m. and burned until 5 p. M, destroy
ing a total OF 200 houses. The burned
district is three blocks wide and
twelve blocks long. The estimates of
the loss are between $~1,600,00J and
100000
The city is putting in a new system
of waterworks and the old system,
which had wooden mans, was wholly
inadequate to meet the demand. Pipes
burst all over the city and it was i'm
possible to get the water even to the
first floors of buildings.
The fire started in the residence of
Mr.. Wise. and though there is some
dispute as to how it originated, the
general belief is that it had its origin
in defective wiring.
The authorities of Jackson were
called on to render assistance and did
so by sending a hose wagon and a
large engine. The firemen could do
but little good.
A man named Chambliss, a citizen
of Yazoo City, a killed by falling
walls, and Mayor Holmes was badly
hurt. He is in a precarious condition.
He had been in Office but three or four
weeks.
In the afternoon the fire jumped 2
bayou and spread to Latonia, a resi-
dence suburb, where it destroyed son1a
of the finest homes. About sixty
families are now homeless.
Governor Varadman ordered the
Greenwood militia company to go to
Yazoo City to protect property. The
| governor also has gone to Yazoo Cit.
The banks succeeded in saving their
money and securities, and the govern
ment funds in the %postofice We're

Beef at Cost.

In some parts Of New England the
pld plan Of a cooperative beef supply
ts still followed. A number Of farmers
agree to furnish a beef animal each in
turn at intervals averaging about two
weeks. The meat is distributed at 5
to 8 cents a pound, according to the
cut, and the owner keeps the hide and
tallow. Thus twenty-five farmers,
more or less, can unite to secure fresh
meat at cost, escaping the exactions of
the western beef packers.

HINTS FOR
A Beet

It has been the belief that American
problem of beet harvesting, which has
been M of the brakes on the wheel Of
progress in the development Of the beet
sugar industry. Hand and hoe work
is now demanded in tile culture and
harvest of this crop. The American
farmer Y his legs and hands and
back as much as possible. Beet cul-
ture is back breaking. In some locali-
ties where sugar factories have been
established farmers have refused to
undergo the taxing labor necessary to
grow beets, and foreigners have been
imported for the purpose. Ii beets
could be grown as corn is grown fac
tories would not lack for supplies.
Those who understand the ingenuity
Of invention as applied to labor saw
ing farm machinery have been keeping
an ear open for a note Of success in
the application of this genius to imple-
ments for beet culture. Nebraska is
the state to sound it first, says Breed
er's Gazette. 1t is reported that a
couple of men in Red Willow county,
In that state, have devised a beet har-
vester which will prove practicable.
Its operation requires n mar and
four horses, and thus equipped it is
said that it will dig, top and load three
acres CT beets a day. A wagon accom-
panies the machine to receive the beets.
1t is said that this harvester does the
work formerly performed by fourteen
Men and four horses and that it can
lie put on the market at 1925 Much
interest will attend the testing of this
implement in actual field work.

George Fielden was dead and buried,
and Robert Hume and his wife were

for good, and the furniture in the old
house was to be sold. And in moving a

about eight miles in length and is
from half a mile to two miles in width.
The nearest point Of the completed
marsh will be within twelve miles of
Grantsburg, Wis.
The magnitude of this enterprise
can best be appreciated when it is
known that it costs from 5000 to $40O
an acre to prepare properly an acre
of cranberry ground and care for it
until it is ready to-, bear. It may.
therefore, require the expenditure Of
a million and a half dollars to bring
the entire tract into production. On
the other hand, an acre Of cranber-
ries has been known to pay a net
profit Of $1,000, and where the water
conditions are perfect it Is perfectly
safe to figure $500 net profits annually.
A single crop we'll sold will pay back
the original outlay.
A good marsh once we'll brought to
bearing continues to produce indefi-
nitely with little attention. An annual
expenditure Of $1,000 will care for
100 acres and a crop Of ten bushels
an acre will pay this expense, leav-
ing all over that as profit, less taxes,
