Not all countries are so favored, but
it is fact that there are parts Of Iii
nois and Iowa where sixty bushels of
corn may be found growing to the acre
and down hundred feet miners are
taking out coal which nets the owner
of the farm $500 per acre royalty.
This comes as near to eating the cake
and having it, too, as any agricultural
proposition we have ever come across

A Montana stockman related to us
recently some of the troubles which be-
set his business. He said that four
years ago he made a shipment Of 100
horses intended for an eastern market,
that the road which accepted the con-
signment kept these horses for 107
hours without water during the heat of
August weather and that when they
were unloaded and watered 365 of
them died inside of thirty minutes,
while the rest were utterly ruined. A
suit is pending to recover the value of
the horses, which were simply slaugh-
tered by the company in direct viola
ton Of the law which requires stock to
be unloaded, fed and watered every
twenty-eight hours.

If one can find the right kind Of a
hired man for the farm-a careful,
thoughtful, industrious fellow who will
take proper care Of stock and tools
a matter of So or So a month in the
wages should not be considered Such
men, especially where much stock is
kept, are simply Invaluable, for the
careless man can by careless practices
easily cost the man who employs him
twice the amount Of his monthly wage.

Down in a woodland dell by the side
Of little creek we came across large
bunch Of cardinal flowers the other
day-those rare carmine floral beauties
which are to vegetation what the car
dinal bird is to bird life. The cardinal
flower in red, the gentian in blue and
the goldenrod in yellow represent ma
lures best work in these colors.

1t is corn cutting time The wise
man will cut up the corn and sell his
hay; the other fellow will feed his hay
and let 30 per cent of the value Of his
corn crop go to waste in the field.

The great advantage which the town
boy has over the city boy lies in the
fact that he Is taught to work just as
soon as he is able, and this is kind Of
education which has much to do with
making man of him. The city boy
learns to loaf instead Of learning how
to work, and it is this sort of educa-
ton which SO often proves the undoing
of him.

We want to say a word about buying
seed corn away from bone. None
Of our cereal grains is as respon-
sive to the question of latitude
as corn. Differently from wheat or
oats, it adapts itself to different de-
grees of latitude by charging or con-
tracing it's growth and development.
The farther south it is grown the longer
the season will it take to mature and
the taller will the stalk grow, while
the farther north it is grown the small
err and shorter will be the stalk and
ear until we reach point of north lat
itude where, if planted, it will only
produce little Scrubby fodder and no
ear at all. Now, there is constant
temptation for the corn grower Of
the north country to be trying to grow
the corn of the south country, and we
have never yet known anything but
failure to result from the experiment:
therefore it is all right to get seed
corn from the country north Of you and
hardly ever right to get it from that
south of you, and right here we will
say that even so small distance as
$50 miles Of latitude will often make
the difference between a we'll matured
crop and one of soft ears. Usually a
type of corn which has done we'll in
any locality is the best type to select
seed from, for it is sure that more
improvement can be made in this crop
by selection from corn we'll adapted to
Its environment than by the importa-
tion of any new varieties from other
sections uf lie country

That man who has his small grain
we'll stacked and all his fall blowing
done by the middle of September has
settled one important factor in good
farming in a very happy and practical
way. 1t is pity that SO few follow
this plan.

We stood as near to the track as we
dared the other day and watched the
passing of fast mail train-four mail
cars trailing behind one Of these mod
ern fast engines, eating up mile of
track every minute and leaving trail
of black smoke and newspapers be-
hind it. 1t is probable that nothing
which the inventive genius of man has
evolved so well represents the triumph
Of modern civilization as this fast mail
train. A few tons Of cheap soft coal,
water which Is as plentiful as air,
mechanism of a marvellous sort in
steel, Vulcan to feed the greedy
demon and a man with nerve Of still
finer steel to guide it. Up and down
the grades, Indifferent to the winds
and the storms, never hating on it's
wild chase, it makes the west mere
suburb of the great city Of the lakes.
Hats off to the fast mail!

Poorly built haystacks appeal on
nearly every farm for better knowl-
edge Of how to build a good haystack.
This seems to be almost a lost art.
A case is this where man had fifteen
acres Of as fine clover hay as we ever
saw cut. There was none too much
hay to make one good stack, but he
put the crop in seven stacks scattered
all over the field. Moreover, he built
them broad and low and topped them
off fiat. OF course we can all guess
just what happened-the rains came
and wet the stacks from top to bottom
and just about spoiled the crop. This
crop should have been all put into one
stack, should have been built high and
we'll topped out with wild hay. Then
this man would have had a stack Of
fine hay next winter. With the mod
ern hay derrick and hayfork there is
absolutely no excuse whatever for this
sort of work.

For all Of the country north Of the
fortieth degree of latitude Oct Is
should be adopted as 'seed corn day."
the day especially set apart to go into
the fields and secure the supply Of
seed corn needed for planting for the
next year. On this day the corn
should be gathered and hung up to
dry and when dry be placed in either
attic or cellar, where frost will never
reach 1t during the winter. This day
could we'll be made a farm holiday
and all hands, father, mother, children
and hired men, all contribute to the
doing Of this one Of the most important
things connected with farming in the
great corn belt. Remember the date,
Oct Is, and see that this job is at
tended to. This done there need be no
worry about poor seed corn next May,
or any fields to be seen with only half
stand of corn or worse.

We are asked how to make certain
quarter section more productive. It is
of naturally good soil, has been skinned
by tenant farmers for several years,
does not know what q dairy cow or a
clover plant looks like, has some wet
spots which, while cropped, usually
grow nothing bur weeds. If we owned
the farm we would do this: Would look
for a good tenant who would take the
farm Tor five or ten years; would put
on it a dairy Of twenty-five COWS;
would tile drain all the wet spots, get
forty acres into clover just as soon as
possible and would SOW twenty acres
of clover each year thereafter; would
sell no grain or hay from the farm, but
instead feed it all out and buy some be-
sides, and just give the cow, the steer,
the hog and the hen entire charge OF
the place. Will guarantee this plan to
double the present income.

A pretty good and up to date farmer
made this complaint to us the last Of
August: He said that he had Joined
thrashing circuit with lot Of his
neighbors; that he was we'll down on
the list; that his grain was getting
badly bleached with the rains which
greatly hindered the work Of the ma
chine; that his two three-horse teams
were standing idle in the barn when
they ought to be at work doing the fall
blowing; that the weeds were making
a great growth in his stubble fields and
needed turning under the worst way;
that the little he saved in labor in the
matter Of thrashing from the shock, in
stead of stacking the grain, was a mere
bagatelle compared with the loss which
he sustained in other ways. He has
got his eyes open and won't get caught
this way any more. There is only just
one man who can afford to thrash from
the shock, and that is the renter who
must get his grain on the market as
quickly as possible.

1t quite frequently happens that a
man finds himself when working for
other people in position where there
is little too much work for one man
to do and not enough for two, and it
is right here that he will largely settle
the question of whether he will be all
his life toiler for others or rise to an
Independent position and be a boss
himself. If, finding that his work is
more than should be properly required
of him, he hangs back and does just as
much as he is paid for and no more, he
is quite likely to be worker for 9TH
ers as long as he lives, while if he
bravely tackles the extra work he GER
tainly lays the foundation for future
promotion. An employee in a large
concern was asked to do a small job.
He refused on the ground that it was
not a part of his work, that another
hand was paid for doing it. In looking
for a man to fill better position this
man was passed over, and justly, too.
