ABOUT INVESTMENTS.

We are asked about safe investments
for money. In what can a man invest
his surplus SO that it will be safe and
give a fair interest return? The best
thing we can see is good farm land.
There are millions Of acres of land
which will not only pay at least 5 per
cent in the way of share products as
rent, but which are absolutely certain
to increase in value from 25 to 100 per
cent inside of fifteen years. These
lands are scattered all over the north
west, the southwest and the Pacific
slope. Any good land which may be
irrigated is certain to be worth $500 an
acre when settled and improved, and
quite likely much more. Any land
which will produce fifty bushels of
corn, twenty bushels Of wheat, thirty
Of barley or forty Of oats for an aver
age.of ten years is also worth 500 an
acre. Any land which will grow good
crops of blue grass will also pay 5 per
cent on such valuation for meat max
ing and dairy purposes, SO if you have
money to invest and know of any such
lands which can be bought for less
money than this it is the best place to
put it, for nothing is surer in this world
than this, that as our population keeps
on increasing, as it is bound to do, and
as very much Of oul heretofore produc-
tive acres grow more and more i'm
poverished, as it certainly is doing, the
good lands of the country are bound to
command high premium. There are
thousands of farms in the newer west
now developing, perhaps not yet touch
ed with the pillow, which are as an in
vestment worth far more than the best
improved lands Of the east which rep
resent the toll as well as the soil rob-
bing of a hundred years past. Land
does not burn up or blow away; the
people will always be hungry and must
be fed.

WHAT THE COW WILL no.


We know of a western community.
the land rather broken and billy, but of
Ialrly good quality, where for forty
years the farmers have been trying to
get living and save money by rails
ing corn and oats to sell, with the re-
suit up to two years ago that they as
well as their land had been getting
steadily poorer 1t came to the point
| that about twenty bushels of both oats
and corn were all they could raise
per acre. There were no cows, no clo-
yer, no manure spreaders- just oats
and corn and corn and oats for a rota-
ton. Nearly every farm carried a good
husky mortgage, and whatever comfort
the people got had to be obtained from
religion, for there was none to be had
IN an agricultural way These farms
were natural blue grass and clover
lands, but some way these people could
not appreciate the fact that they had
one of the best dairy sections of the
west, and SO they kept on year after
year raising long nosed hogs and corn
and buying butter and running up
store bills, just getting a little poorer
each year. A change came two or
three years ago. Some man heard the
COW gospel preached and got some
COWS. He did SO we'll that others took
1t UP until great agricultural revolu-
tlon was soon in progress. Today this
community is one Of the leading dairy
and butter producing sections of the
west. Less acres of corn are raised,
but twice as many bushels to the acre
as formerly; everybody sows clover,
the people have quit running store bills
and pay as they go, the mortgages are
looking sick, the soil is getting better
and more productive each year, big
red barns are showing up all over the
country, more and better hogs are rails
ed and, to sum it all up in a sentence,
the entire community is being regen-
Grated by the COW. This is an old
story-always works this way. Why
not try it if in a grain raising, grain
selling financial hole? We will give
guarantee that it will work with you
as it always has with others. Put
twenty cows on the quarter section
farm, feed them right and care for
them and you will work out your own
financial salvation just as thousands of
other men have done ''Don't like to
milk" you say. Well, then, keep on in
the old way, and the settlement of your
estate will be mighty short job for
the probate court.

SIMPLICITY IN LIVING.

A study of simplicity in housekeep-
ing would tighten the work Of many a
tired housewife. There is a great deal
of fretting and hard work done in
many homes solely with reference to
what outsiders will say and think.
The social tyrant is a most merciless
one, and few women there are who
have the nerve to defy it. Still, as be-
tween killing ones self in order to pla-
cate this tyrant and taking life easier
in defiance Of what anybody thinks or
says, we would just naturally take the
easier path and let society chew the
rag all it wants to. And, now we are on
this subject, we would like to say that
because she does not want her daugh-
ter to work as hard as she did when a
girl and because it involves some lit
tie trouble at first to train the daugh-
tiers to efficiently help in the household
work, there is many mother who not
only does her girls a positive injury,
but makes her own burdens very much
harder to carry. There should be some
portion of the work Of the home for
every member of the household to do
and do regularly. We call to mind one
mother whose girls were all boys, four
Of them, and she had so trained these
little rascals that there was hardly
any kind of homework which they
could not do and do we'll Yet how few
mothers there are who would ever
think for a moment of training a boy
to be useful domestic help?

We want to say word about buying
seed corn away from home. None
of our cereal grains is as respon-
siye 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
er 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 a distance as
$50 miles of latitude will often make
the difference between well matured
crop and one of soft ears. Usually a
type Of corn which has done well 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-
ton of any new varieties from other
sections Of the country.

Not all countries are SO favored, but
it is a fact that there are parts of I'LL
nois and Iowa where sixty bushels of
corn may be found growing to the acre
and down a 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.

We noted an old lady the other day
busily engaged in gathering wild
grapes from vines which she had train
ed along a barbed wire fence on the
side of grainfeld. She had large
basket full Of this delicious jelly fruit
and was gathering it with the great
est ease. 1t suggested a very useful
purpose to which wire fences might be
put, for if they do not form a support
for grapes they are sure to carry creep
ers and bindweed.

Poorly built haystacks appeal on
nearly every farm for a better knowl-
edge of how to build 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 out. 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 fat. OF course we can all guess
just what happehed-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.

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 a 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.

A Montana stockman related to us
recently some Of the troubles which be-
set his business. He said that four
years ago he made 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.

Many a man can find a very inter
esting object lesson in the unproductive
acres on his farm. Nearly every man
will find that he has more or less acres
which produce little or nothing year
after year and that the burden Of crop
production on his farm is confined to
only part Of his land These unproft-
able acres may be marsh and should be
tile drained, or they may be brush
acres, when the brush should be re-
moved and chance given for the
grass to grow and make pasture, or
they may be hillsides too steep for cul-
tivation and should be set to growing
trees.

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 81 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.

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 1t
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 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 a 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 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 man to fill better position this
man was passed over, and justly, too.
A mans reward for cheerfully doing
extra work very often comes in bet
ter place and higher salary.

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 a trail
of black smoke and newspapers be-
hind it. It 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, a 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

wild chase, it makes the west a mere

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 it during the winter. This day
could well 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
a stand of corn or worse.

A pretty good and up to date farmer
made this complaint to us the last OF
August: He said that he had joined
a thrashing circuit with a lot OF his
neighbors; that he was well 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.
