GOOD FARMING.

What IL good farming? Does Il son.
sisi Ia making money?
VIVA, may be termed good farming
does not necessarily consist In boarding
money derived from the farm.
by good farming We would under
stand n large. full life for every MEM
Der 90 the farmers family.
Financial success ought TO be sought
but IL should not be the sole object Ia
view. Money In OF value only Ia 20 FAR
as IL aids us In securing those acCessur-
les which contribute to the development
OF the intrinsic SELF.
Good farming la our judgment means
the maintenance OF the fertility OF the
soil. the breeding OF good stock. the
growing az maximum crops. the eduCa-
ton OF the children. the abandonment
OF shaving for the women folk, pleas
ure trips occasionally for the family,
and the reading OF good literature.
IL also should include the keeping Of
the premises la respectable condition
and a healthy Interest on the part OF
the farmer IN the public affairs uf :he
township. county. state and nation.
Good farming ~ not theoretical or
fancy farming. II must pay: that IN es-
scntial. but IL must not make n slave
OF any member OF the family.
one trouble with American farming
~ that many az us are farming more
hand than We can farm well
For example. there are too many 100
acre farmers working 600 acres.

FINDING OUT WHAT PAYS.

II In not only important for "a farmer
To know whether. upon the whole, he
Is losing or gaining. but IL Is, u any
thing, more important for him To
know at what point he In losing or
gaining. that he may cut or those
things which do not pay. and stress
those which pay best. is he a cotton
raiSerI IL SO. does IL pay him 10 raise
cotton In the way he has been doing
IT. Does IL pay him To use fertilizers
on cotton Docs the rotation OF crops
he now follows pay best Does Il pay
better To raise or buy stock. to raise
hogs or buy bacon. To keep ten head
OF cattle or half that number? Would
some other money crop pay better on
his farm than cotton These and doz-
sDs OF other like questions he may ask
himself. and study 10 very great ad-
vantage. Some OF these he may an
swcr pretty satisfactorily from his In
dividual experiments only. Don't con-
Clude that since the government has
established experiment stations there IN
no need OF farmers making expert
ments. The stations make experiments
TO establish general PRINCIPLES: the
farmer should experiment 10 ascertain
how best TO apply those principles To
his individual farm. Every farm has
something peculiar To itself which calls
for special treatment. But experiments
teach little unless full. systematic rec
ord ~ kept. Experience loses much OF
It's value In the absence OF records. one
cannot trust To his memory alone: last
impressions always overshndow and
dominate those that are oIdcr.-South-

The beet sugar Industry In the Unit
% states IL growing rapidly and the
states west Of the Mississippi river now
produce $4,000 tons more sugar than
they can consume. In addition 10 this
East OF the Mississippi 20. goo 600
pounds are produced. or equal TO over
IL per cent. of the consumption of this
same trans Mississippi area. This H.
brought cut In report just issued los
the department az agriculture on ia,
domestic sugar production OF the Unit
eel States.
This increase In the Industry Is Of
much Importance To the p,opl. az the
country and To the farmers aud raiscrS
OF i've stock, since the byproduCtx
81 tn factories can be used for stock
food tn such "a good advantage. Sugar
bccis are adapted To- irrigated districts
AS well as to other districts where
crops are grown by rainfall The In
dustry In It's development has had a
great Influence In promoting irriga-
tion' immigration, land settlement. the
building OF railroads and trolley lines
the rnn king OF other improvements and
the upbuilding OF various industrial en-
tcrprises.
only few years ago the United
States depended almost entirely for It's
sugar supply upon that brought In
from other countries and from that
made from sugar cane. In 1906 there
was produced In the United States
sl:.?2O.6O tons 81 beet sugar. grown
upon 3O1.3Gt acres. Iowa ~ to have
two factories this year. as u has been
shown that Iowa soils will produce ~
good sugar bccts as any other section.
This new Industry should be received
with enthusiasm by the farmers OF
Iowa. an IL should by those In other
states where the beet cny1 be prontabIy
grown. The use az the byproducts Ia
stock feeding will no doubt increase
the area devoted Ia beet growing as
much ~ will the production OF sugar
Where beets can be grown they will
make a double profit.

He came on like pad. dle wheel, churnin' the water into a terrible foam.
 He struck the box ag'ln with bang, an over we went onct more, turnin' a clean somersault in the water. went down pretty nigh to the bottom of the gulf an then bumped up agin the box so hard that I had headache for a week after.
 The lion was there ahead of me. an he took turn at fightin' me of. saw he was gettin' on to the game. The box was a good boat for one, but too small for two. One or t'other had to keep off. an as possession is half tho law the big yellow cuss was goin' to hold on to his advantage. I couldn't get hold of the box without gettin' a swipe that ripped up yard of human hide.
 saw somethin' in the water a little way ahead that made matters worse. It was a shark comin' to see what all the disturbance was bout. He was sailln' along like revenoo cutter after harbor thieves. knowed then twas a question of shark or lion.
 An I chose the lion. If I could knock him oG, the shark might be satisfied with him an leave me alone for spell jest made for that box an put up the fight of my life. It was give an take, an no quarter for the vsnquished.
