Many jokes have been sprung al
the expense of the unsophisticateC
farmer who happens to make visit
! in the city, but often times the farm.
er turns the trick nicely on.-the city
dude. A smooth confidence man
once approached farmer on his first
visit to the city and in his most
seductive way tried to interest him
in stock speculation.
IL SUPPOSE" said the confidence
man, "you'd like to get in on the
ground floor of a 1000 per cent in
vestment.'
"Well, you just bet I would, -
drawled the astute countryman.
"Good! How much can you put
into this valuable stock? Remem-
Der, it will pay 1000 per cent an-
nually.'
'"That looks fne,'' said the--coun-
try man carefully. II rather guess
I'll invest whole dime-lO-cents-
now, and then I'll keep on investing
the profits until I get a fortune.
That'll be soon at 1000 per cent?"

Down in New Mexico they are
having winter for the oldest inhab-
liant to think about. From six inch
es to- six feet of snow covers the
STATE and zero weather prevails, a
painfully low temperature for that
latitude. In Kansas, Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and Iowa they had heavy fall
of snow the day after New Years.
1t may be unlucky to crow, but it
seems that this part Of the country is
as good a winter resort as it is sum-
mer resort, for climate stricken
SOutherners

Of some shiftless renter. Neither, good
friends; merely the abiding place of
him who farms with loose ends. This
man owned his farm and was prac-

poverty cannot be urged. What then?
Loose ends! The barn door and the
front yard wilderness, the patched
fence and the implanted house were
still waiting: for the rainy day, which
never came. when they should be re-
paired. The broken down and weather
beaten machinery gave mute evidence
Of the shed which was never built to
cover them, While the grain stood In the

This is an important question which
the farmers in most towns in the

cuss during the winter months, and
formulate plans for systematic and
effective work when summer comes.
The question of good roads is closely

We read much today about the trou-

Of the nobility are constantly being en-
larged and vast areas of fertile land
being inclosed and devoted solely to
the propagation Of game to make sport
for the lords and barons. Nothing bet

than to break up these enormous reser-

The good neighbor is the unselfsh

The rule should be never to grow the

this is done there Is a waste Of fertility

There is lots of farming done with.

It would be good thing every way
II farmer would each year make the
effort to raise one acre of some extra
crop-that is, so, care for one acre Of
land that he could produce an extraor-
binary yield of whatever crop he Sc
lected. This would give him an object
lesson of the relative values of average
and superexcellent crops. For instance,
it is entirely practicable to produce 100
bushels Of corn on one acre Of ground
or 800 bushels Of onions or 400 bushels
of potatoes or, If there is sufficient
moisture, five tons of hay. This sort Of
experimental work carried on by the
farmer himself on his farm Is Of very
great value, as when engaged in caring
for such a crop he becomes more in
terested in It than he does in any other
crop on his farm, and, becoming inter-
ested, he. takes special pains to study
and learn all he can about it. His
neighbors may laugh at him, but he Is
really doing them as much good as he
Is himself,
