FARM Heller TALKS BACK.
He Is Evidently Tired Of the One
Sided Treatment of an CID
Fashion ID Subject

Il is very seldom one picks up farm
paper without seeing an article giving
the farmland a Whack. That is right.
Keep on Whacking. It makes him feel
better. He loves his employer SO
much N re when he reads these highly
concentrated items, provided he gets
time to indulge IN the luxury OF read
ing. Give him to understand the farm
is the proper place for farmhands; inn
press on his mind that be should be
very thankful that you are giving him
365 days work in the year, and that
his wages are greater than your great
great-grandfather used to get. Feed
him on common, everyday grub. Sell
all your butter and use grease for the
Die; it will increase your bank ae-
count; take all of your eggs to the
n zrket-they are not good for farm
hands to eat-they injure the diges-
ton. Expenses must be. kept down, as
you are thinking of buying the ad-
joining hslf section and you will need
the money. Kill two or three fat hogs
in the fall and have hog three times a
day. Fat hog is the stuff to hang to

$3.50 a. M, at least. It will not be nee
essary for you to get up before break
fast; about six is the time for that
meal. If the farmland cannot find
enough ork to keep him employed be-
fore breakfast he can cut and haul up
load of wood. It is good for him,
makes him strong, ine=sases the ap-
petite, and his love for you is tenfold
stronger.
Find fault with everything he does
whether right or wrong; it does him
good; he gill stay with you that much
longer. always go around with a
long snd sour face. Eat as fast as you
can at the table If you talk to the
farmland at all during meals tell him
about some article you have read re-
lating to the poor quality OF farmhands
at the present time. Take plenty of

every weekday.
work. Use walking plows, but if you
have riding pillow use that yourself;
walking is good for the hired mans
legs. Send him out to cultivate corn
about four in the morning with good
fast team, and keep him at it until
about 80 minutes after shutdown. Prob
ably you will have II cows for him to
milk, and other work to keep him go
ing two hours after he leaves the field.
When a new hand comes give him all
the hard work you can find for the first
few days; that is the way to break in
tender muscles. The farmland likes
this treatment, and will probably stay
with you.
Put the farmland in the hottest bed
room in summer and the coolest in
winter. Be sure to have hard bed,
he likes it; it makes him tough. These
things will help in keeping farmhands
from leaving you-lbreeders' Gazette.

here I found an imposing camp, as the

devoted to sports, which the maharajah
personally conducted on horseback, and
the event of the day was an elephant race.
The pace at which these unwieldly-
loo5ing creatures numbered along was
considerable. They were urged by the
yells and prods of the mahout and also
by men on foot with long spears. The

There is probably not one in all that

SOFT CORN FOR LIVE STOCK
Results Of Tests at Iowa Experiment
Station Summarized in Very
Interesting Bulletin.

Much corn failed to mature fully in
1902 and 1903. The same, owing to very
late planting, seems likely to be true
in 1904. Hence the feeding value Of soft
corn Is live question. Tests at the
Iowa experiment station are fully given
in Bulletin No. rs, which may be had
on application by mail to c. F. Curtiss,
director, Ames, Ia The following con-
illusions are dedueed from the results
obtained:
l. That soft corn in 1902 and contain
ing IS per cent. Of moisture, pound for
pound, on a watsr-free, or dry-matter
basis, was fully equal in feeding value
to mature corn grown in 1900 when used
for fattening cattle.
2. That cattle fed on such soft corn
made nearly as heavy gains and finished
as well as those fed on mature corn.
3. That when soft corn similar to that
used In the test could be purchased for
80 cents per bushel, gains on fattening
cattle could be made at a cost OF 1903
cents per pound less than when mature
corn, costing so cents per bushel, the
prevailing price, was fed.
4. That study Of the Chicago live
stock market conditions from January
/, 1908. to July 81, 1908. shows that the
comparatively low prices of beef cattle
were not caused by an over-supply Of
half-finished cattle. On the contrary,
there was larger number OF weIl-f1n-
ished cattle marketed during that pc
Rod for 1903 than for the correspond
ing period Of any one Of the past ten
years.
S, That the chemical analysis would
indicate that the nutritive value of
the corn grown in 1902 compares IA
vorahly with mature corn grown in
other years when water-free substance
OF dry matter serves as basis of com
parison
6. That the amount of moisture
present was the main difference SO far
as composition is concerned. That the
amount Of moisture depends mainly on
the maturity of the corn when stricken
BY frost.

least is the opinion of scientists at the

Jefferson's first title to fame remains
preeminent. Few documents were ever
penned which had SO great an effect on
history. The principles of freedom
which it contains have not faded from
the minds Of men, even though the ink
Jefferson used has begun to lose its
brililanee. He lived long enough to
know that the world agreed with his
estimate of the immortal declaration,
for he did not die till July 4, 1926, the
fiftieth anniversary of its adoption.

Although the official copy OF the Dec

deposited in a steel safe, to prevent il
fading away completely, Jefferson.
original draft of that great manifesto
NAV still be seen in the library Of the
state department in Washington. The
ink on this paper seems peculiarly
strong, states Youths Companion.
The erasures and interlineations tes-
tify to the care with which Jefferson
worked out the eloquent sentences.
Wherever a change was made by either
of his principal OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
min Franklin and John Adams-he took
pains to note it by inserting in the mar
Gin. Or. Franklin'g handwriting, or
"Mr. Adams handwriting, in order that
the exact limits of his own authorship
might never be disputed.
This is one of the papers Of the old
congress of the confederation. It was
put into the custody of the state depart
ment when that executive branch was
organized. Some visitors doubted that
this famous paper was really in Jeffer-
sons handwriting To satisfy them the
department officers had framed by its
side, from their Jefferson papers, the
slip on which he wrote out directions for
his burial.
Aside from furnishing evidence Of the
genuineness Of the handwriting, these
directions are appropriate there, because
they give Jefferson's own estimate of
the importance of the Declaration. He
described the simpl- monument which
was to stand over his remains. and then
wrote for it this inscription, specifying
that it should contain mot word
