We are asked by a friend how It is
that the tile draining of land will wa.
tev the soil III n dry time. 1t Is this
way: The tilo permits the entry of the
heated and moisture laden outside air,
which, coming in contact with the
cooler subsoil, is at once robbed of its
moisture by condensation.

Don't encourage that boy in his idea
that he has had enough schooling be-
fore he has finished a common high
school course. Keep him going, even
at the expense of some rather stringent
urging. The successful man of the fu-
ture must be an educated man. Things
have changed since you were boy
and are changing more rapidly now
than ever before. The chances for the
plug man are disappearing, so give
your boy enough education to raise him
out of this class.

On nearly every farm in the country
more attention can prolitably he paid

the form of providing better buildings
for the birds, in getting a we'll bred

young roosters, in feeding less corn and
more Of an egg producing ration.

There are well defined symptoms Of
another crazy boom where lands of lit
tie or no value will be advertised and
suckers caught by the thousand. Just
suggestion here: Never buy land on
the other fellows representation alone.
See it personally, dig into the soil and
find out what the surface soil and sub
soil are, study the weather records local
ly and especially find out what the av
erage rainfall is; make the acquaint-
ancc of the oldest settler and pump
him dry. Where one buys land I'M
sight, unseen, he finds out whole lot
of things just as soon as he tries to
make farm Of it.

With the exceedingly low price at
which most Of the best periodicals can
be secured, no farm home can afford to
be without them. There is no one thing
which enters SO far into the making OF
an educated and broad minded person
as the ready access to and use of good
reading matter.

Don't get the notion because you live
out in the country that it is out of
your line to be an intelligent voter
The country needs the votes Of its
best citizens, and the lack of them
gives rise to most Of the political rot
tenness which curses the present age.
Your forefathers saved the country by
leaving the plow In the fields and car
rying the musket to war. You can Go
a like service by leaving your plow or
corn husking and casting your vote for
clean men and clean political methods.

Corn and alfalfa make the best COM
bination of any ration produced in any
country. Heretofore it has been as
sumed that only in a very limited area
of the country could these two crops
be grown on the same farm, but it Is
being discovered that over quite large
section of the corn belt the alfalfa may
be grown if right methods are pursued
The combination makes an almost per-
fectly balanced ration; hence its great
value,

We know a wealthy farmer living
about nile from certain town who
decided that he would be more useful
and more happy if he moved to town
with his family, composed of boys and
girls, none Of whom had reached his or
her majority He did so, and at the end
Of couple of years we find him back in
his country home. During the two
years residence in town the boys learn
ed more meanness than they will ever
forget, and no amount of country air
will ever purify their morals. The fa-
ther, as the rule with most hardwork-
hg men who exchange regular work
for irregular idleness, formed con-
yenient lodging place for stray germs,
and as result his health is forever
Impaired. Moreover, during those two
years of idleness he made himself so
obnoxious to his friends and others in
town by sticking his nose In affairs
which concerned him not that he has
forfeited much Of the esteem which he
had gained os busy and useful farm.

pots OF town life lead you into similar
mistake.

During the period of twenty five
years when the present perfected farm
machinery was being developed there
might have been some excuse for
throwing aside machine half worn

today it is hardly possible TO further
improve farm machinery, and better
care should be given TO it to secure Il
longer life of usefulness for It,

The fact that man works on a
farm is no excuse for his going around

A western farmer claims that he is
now operating cement block ma
chine which enables him to make tile
at a cost of . cents each for the small
tile. It's coming-the time when the
farmer will make his own tile, tanks,

pays for the perishable things which he
now buys and uses

There are million families in the
United States in and around our cities
passing from the cradle to the grave in
an environment of respectable poverty
who could have their material condi-
tlon immensely improved could they
but understand the possibilities con-
nected with the intelligent culture of
a small piece of land. The good living
connected with ten acre farm is only
just beginning to be understood. AS
we look at the situation there is no
other thing which offers so much prom
ise of amelioration of the condition of
this hard up class as to get them in
touch with the soil. For twenty-five
years it has been grand rush for the
cities; now it should be "back to the

There are few fundamental and old
fashioned truths relating to farming
which it is as hard to make some people
recognize and live up to as it is with
other people and the Ten Command
ments. Among them is the fact that
the same crop cannot be grown year
after year on the same land without
deterioration of the crop and injury to
the soil; another, that crops cannot be
continually removed from the soil at Il
profit unless the soil is fed and rested,
this corresponding to the ancient max
Inn, Thou shalt not steal;" another,
that the tile drainage Of land will make
1t drier in a wet time and wetter in a
dry time: another, and perhaps the
most impnrtant of all, is that it always
pays better to grow big crop ON a
small acreage than a poor crop ON a
large one

Beer kegs and cream cans represent
two distinct types of agricultural civ
ilizatIon all through the west, and the
desirabillty of any town for residence
location can be accurately determined
by ascertaining whether there are more
cans OF cream shipped out from the de-
pot than there are kegs of beer shipped
in.

One OF the new and interesting facts
of the year is that Europe takes G,000-
900 bushels of macaronl wheat grown
in this country, TIE first wheat Of this
sort which has ever been exported from
the United States, Another good thing
about this is that this wheat was raised
upon land in his country which was
not counted fit for cultivation FIVE
years ago.

The changed conditions which make
the farmer wholly dependent upon the
local butcher for his supply Of meat Is
all wrong. No man can afford to sell
animals at wholesale prices and buy
his meat at retail prices. Every man
should make his own salt ana smoked
meats and by cooperation with two
or three neighbors supply himself with
all the winters fresh meat.

1t will often be found that tile drain
age will be almost as much benefit to
some of the hilly farms as the fiat and
wet ones, IL being popularity of the
rolling land that the water will be
found close to the surface in many
places in seeps where the crop will suf-
fer from wet feet just as much as on
the low land. During recent trip Of
hundred miles we found hardly q
single farm upon which more or less
tile draining could not be done to great
profit and advantage.

With the Introduction of modern
labor saving machinery, such as the
riding plow, the complicated self
binder, the separator, the gasoline
engine, etc, the old conception of the
farmer as simple tiller of the SOIL
such as is so eloquently pictured by our
poets and authors, must pass away, for
the successful farmer of this age Is
anything but simple in his ideas. He
must be mechanic of no small ability
and farsighted manager With the
modern system of marketing stock and
grain must come clear grasp OF busi-

The English farmer fares rather
hardly in many ways compared to his
American brother, for he is held up for
some tax or other at every turn. He
must consult the excise officers to get
permission to keep sheep dog. If he
has gun he must put up a $3.50
license, and if perchance he desires to
trap rabbit or weasel which is eat
ing up his chickens lie must put up
1916 more for trap license. If he
keeps gasoline engine or traction en-
gine to do his work he must pay a
license of $50. and if he wants to kill
a pheasant or partridge which he has
raised on his farm he must pay tax
OF S15 for game license. The selling
Of milk to town patrons calls for a
further tax, and the killing of n critter
on his place makes necessary slaugh-
ter house license. This and much more
is your English farmer subjected to, so
bear it in mind and do not kick ON a
nominal road tax.

Now that the crop season of 1905 Is
over it will be good idea to look over
the years experiences and see where
the mistakes We're made. Perhaps it
will be found not enough care was TAX
en- to secure good seed corn, and the
cornfeld shows only GO per cent stand
when it should show up So or 90. Per-
haps the sod land upon which it was
planted was not plowed at the right
time and the cutworms thinned out
the crop. Perhaps it was corn after
corn for too many years and the root
worm got in its work. Perhaps it was
cutting the clover hay crop too late and
so losing in two ways-getting poor
quality of hay and spelling second crop.
Perhaps it was in trying to work too
many acres; more likely to be this than
anything else. Anyhow, it will not be
hard to look back and see where one
might have done better. The wise man
will do this and profit by his mistakes.
