Some weeks ago had the opportu-
nifty of visiting a farm in northern In
diana. 1t was in process OF develop
ment into a modern up-to-date farm.
The electric cars from the city passed
near by every half hour or so. The
post box was fastened at the gate for
the daily mail delivery. Wires were
being strung along the road for a farm
ers' telephone service. A flowing well
gave an unfalling supply OF fresh wat
er for farm, house and stock. On all
hands were the marks of improvement
In buildings and fields. The little plot
In front of the next frame farm house
was ready for the grass and shrubs
and stone walk. Everywhere could
be seen the unmistakable proof and
marks Of a well-directed plan. 1t was
case of farming with a purpose. and
one could not help contrasting this
complicated method Of modern farming
with the simple and more or less in
definite style OF nall a century ago. In
this new agriculture, machinery is
playing a very important part. Ma
chinery, methods and the man are the
three factors of farming in the pres
ent day.

The Farmers Day is Coming.


Manufacturing and transportation
were the two great objects of human
ingenuity and industry in the nine
teenth century. The leading manufac-
turers OF the world gradually came out
from the homes of the individual work
ers and massed themselves in the reg
ulated and systematized concerns of
towns and cities. Domestic production
gave place to factory industries. Hand
made goods were superseded by ma
chine products. The complete success
OF this great change in the production
OF goods ready for human use came
through the accompanying and neces-
sary improvement in and extension of
transportation facilities. 1t was neces-
sary to bring together quickly and
| cheaply the raw material of factories
and to provide for the distribution of
the products among the consumers of
the world. The development of mod
ern transportation conveniences was
possible only through the rapid i'm
provement in the machinery of trans
portation. Thus we have seen these
two great lines of human effort being
worked out in association, and the
wonderful changes in the worlds work
and the worlds living during the past
hundred years resulted through the ap-
plicaton of human skill and human in.

Water for Farm Animals,

1t is admitted that water is essential
TO the well-being of humans, and if
this is so. why should anyone presume
to think that animals can get along
with little or no water? Yet that IS
the plan on which many farmers work.
properly watercd. but the other farm
animals are given little water. In Il
series of experiments carried on by the
writer a number of years ago it was
found that sheep. swine and poultry
gave us nearly 20 per cent better re-
turns when regularly and carefully wa
tered than when the water was given
but occasionally.
That is. the egg supply was larger
from the hens. and the sheep and hogs
kept to the desired weight More than
this, we found there was less trouble
with diseases, particularly those that
had the stomach for their base of at
tack 1t is now a regular practice to
give all the animals on the farm reg
ular supplies of clean water In water

provided and kept for the purpose.
After the animals have drunk. the

no chance Of them being defiled. 1t

animals regularly and with clean wa

Expensive Farming.

When one sees Il farmer buying ex-
pensive grain and feeding it to stock
that are housed in bleak yards or in
closures through which cold drafts
blow and SHOW drifts around the ami
mails. one concludes this huSbandman
is indulgng in expensive farming.
Any management OF live stock or
profit is expensive agriculture. Too
many infer that expensive manage
ment of farms and live stock implies
luxurious buildings and high priced
help. TnQuestionably too much cap
ital can be invested in appointments
for remunerative operation of farms,
but all rural buildings should be sub
stantial and constructed for warmth

Poultry Yard Pickinys.

Cheap food is always at the expense
of quality.
Quality in food for poultry is what
gives it value.
No food is cheap that does not bring
paying results
Damaged food invites Indigestion
and various bowel troubles.
Lack Of grit when snow covers the
ground endangers the f1ock's health.
Provide plenty of nests where there
are many hens or pullets.
Grit. either oyster shells or crushed
granite, should be kept under cover
accessible to the poultry in all the
houses during the winter.
Keep the cockeres and pullets sep
arate until couple OF weeks before
you commence saving eggs for hatch
ing. Both will be the better foy the

In the Marshall group of islands in

and the natives go half naked like the
other dwellers of the south seas. But
they have learned one great civilized
art, just the same, and that is the art
of building ships.
About forty years ago a Portuguese
sailor was landed there from whal-
ing ship. When his vessel sailed away
he remained behind, for the lazy
charm of the Pacific island life had
tempted him and he had decided to
leave the restless sea and live the rest
of his days on the warm. sleepy
beaches. where no one worked
Soon he married the daughter of a
chief and became a trader. After
many years an American captain Wis
tied the islands during a trading voy-
age in the south seas and when his
vessel shortly afterward became I'M
seaworthy he set to work on the beach
to build new one
The Portuguese whaler's two sons
helped him and learned great deal
about the operation. The island had
fine. hard wood on it. just the kind Of
timber that shipbuilders value because
1t will not rot or waterlog readily. The
captain at last succeeded in finishing a
good 4O-ton schooner and sailed away
in her.
Before long the two boys had begun
to teach the natives something of what
they had picked up and soon. instead
of the primitive canoes and dugouts
that the Marshall islanders have been
using for centuries, the folk of the
l.ikieb atoll began to build canoes
made of carefully fashioned lumber
and pinned together with rivcts.
