Hon. William Boyd Allison out in the

him "Blue-eyed Billy" before he got
so shaggy and SO gray; they formerly
called him "Old Pussy-Foot" too, be-
cause Of the quiet and unobtrusive
way he has of doing things. I have
also heard the term "Rubber-Tired

same reason. These nicknames are in

essentials in the cement culvert, be-

Farm Notes


Long and hard pulling makes wind
broken horses.
If sheep are not kept constantly in
good condition the quality Of the wool
Is affected.
Dairying is practically a cash bust
ness. It's profitable, too, in poor times.
Stay by it.
You can't grind corn and get wheat
-four. Neither can you feed straw and
get butter-fat.
A proper poultry house Is not nee
essarily one with a limerick roof and
d gilt weather-cock.
Cream should have uniform con.
sistency as well as uniform ripeness
when it goes to the churn.
Profit in dairying depends upon four
things-good cows, good and cheap
feed, good care and good marker.
No animal of any breed or species, of
domestic animals will uniformly pro-
duce young that are all Of a superior
order.
Hens are without exception the
most sadly neglected Of all the living
creatures that are profitable to the
farmer.
The latest statistics show that onlv
about one-third of the farmers are
owners Of the land they farm in Ar.
gentina, while In the United States
the proportion Is almost thirds.

chief expense accounts has been for

Small Farming.

1t is not always the man who has
200, 300 or 500 acres Of land who is
making the most money in proportion
to the amount he has invested in it.
There are those who with 10. Is, 90
Or % acres. are making more than the
average farmer with five or ten times
that amount Of land. AS a rule it
Is because the farmer has q part Of
his means reserved as working CAPT
tai. With it he can secure labor, i'm
plements, fertilizers and all that is
necessary to bring his little farm up
to the highest point Of successful pro-
duct1on. Many Of our farmers would
do better to sell half their land at
even half the price and devote the
money thus acquired to better man.
aging the remainder Of their farm,
than to pay taxes upon the entire
amount they now farm or rather half

that the streaa, Of water could not be

The Farm Too1shop.

AAc arm IOO1SnOp.
1t is the exception, rather than the
rule, to find a shop as a branch of
farm work nowadays. We run to the
store for any little thing we want, pay
two prices for it and lose valuable
time. Our fathers had all Of the small
tools in the shop and could make any

and repairing. If the harness breaks
there are waxed ends Of thread ready
for use or some rivets to repair larger
breaks. The shop contains a small
anvil and a wise as we'll as a wooden
clamp in which to hold the ends Of
leather when sewing them. Nails,
screws, bolts, hinges and the like are
kept in small numbers, but in various
sizes. Oils, monkey wrenches, chisels,
hammers and the like are always
there and we are prepared for any
small trouble. A very small corner
Of the barn is large enough for the
