The Farm Machinery Problem.

One of the most profitable invest
ments the farmer can make is in the
needed machinery to properly operate
the work of the farm The best ma
chimes are always the cheapest, even
if the prices demanded are the high
est. The farmer should be a skilled
operator of farm implements and
farm machines. An ignorant, awk-
ward operator of machine may soon
destroy it's usefulness. 1t is not ev-
cry one who drives a mower or a
binder that can handle it skillfully
and save it in wear and breakage.
There is just as much need on the
farm for mechanical ability and skill
as in most other occupations.
If the farmer boy could have few
months training in the use of tools,
in building and repairing, in the ad-
justing of machines and implements
used on the farm, he would be better
equipped for his occupation and bet
ter qualified to save money on the
farm. 1t is the lack of knowledge in
handling and properly caring for the
farm machinery that is responsible for
Is per cent of the failures on the
farm. 1t is possible for the man of
little judgment and no business man
agement to lose $500 per year in farm
machinery by letting it rust out and
the attendant loss by breakage, etc >,

longer questioned; how soon ten or
more per cent can be added to the
billions of dollars worth of our an
nual farm production is the question
of the hour. The agricultural col
leges and the experiment stations are
doing all they can with funds avail
able to hasten the good movement.
Let the farmers institutes and
granges,a nd every rural organization,
fall quickly in line and secure and
spread all knowledge available, to the
end that each member of the COM
munity may be a co-worker in i'm
provement of plant and animal life.
In many state exhibits varieties of
grains are shown in profusion that
will enable the student to learn where
to start in his experimental work and
study. In the Illinois state exhibit
special attention has been given to
demonstrate thoroughly the great
work being done in that state in corn
breeding improvement Corn is shown
that has been increased very largely
in oil percentage, and one manu-
featuring interest offers five cents per
bushel extra for such high-oil corn;
another sample series is shown of
low-oil corn, said to be superior when
the hog is mainly fattened on, corn.
High-protein corn is found to be east
ly produced by the careful farmer
who will raise the protein constituent
of his corn-its nutritive value, per-
haps one-fifth. Experiments in wheat
breeding prove that the wheat yields
can be increased by improving the
home varieties several or manV buSh-
els per acre, and at the same time in
creasing the food value of the grain.
The practice of sending to other states
for seed is being discouraged in view
of the fact that homebred aclimated
varieties of grain will thrive better,
often, than those bred under entirely
deterrent conditions Gentle

gard life as one of drudgery, and such
it may be if he loses interest in his
surroundings or is pressed with
continual round of duty. There is
something heroic in the country boys
struggle with the elements. Rain,
snow and sleet only brace his cou--
age. The gathering of the crops, the
housing and feeding of the domestic
animals, the gathering and prepare
ton of the winter fuel give purpose
with which the mind acts under the
influence of vigorous health and the
conscious value of time that accounts
for these results. So from the farm
is being supplied a stream of active

The Farmer Boy.

No boy need ever regret that he
was born in the country and reared
on a farm. He may lack the keen
ness and polish of his city cousin. He
may be embarrassed by his own awk-
wardness, and feel thai he is at a
hopeless disadvantage in the race, but
the country boy has wider range of
practical ideas. From the very first
his little services are in demand He
becomes at once part of the force
that is making for home comfort and
prosperity, and feels the independ-
ence of one who is helping to sup
port himself and add to the general
store. The farm boy is likely to re-

Mark Twain Missed the Boat.
The success achieved by Mark Twain

that he was skillful pilot but that he
was an earnest one as we'll. 4 man

told how the genial humorist once

an excuse, as many Of his companions
did, he reported to his superior officer
as follows:
