A SAFE COURSE TO FOLLOW.

A SAFE COURSE TO FOLLOW.
The question of the sale of adulter-
ated grass seed can never be Solved
until the matter is taken out of the
hands of the state and put under the
control of the federal authorities 1t
is true that the state law is effective
In SO far as it covers seed offered for
sale within the limits Of the state, but
its operation is futile when it comes to
the sale of seed in the state by firms
located outside. Until such a prohibit
tive law is passed by the national gov
eminent those only will be on the safe
side who reside in states where pro
hibitfve laws touching the sale of adul-
terated grass seed already exist and
who purchase of firms in the state
Another precaution that it may be
well to remember is that both the fed
eral and state agricultural depart
ments are in touch with firms which
are reliable and also have the com
pany of shyster seedsmen pretty well
spotted, information which they will
be glad to furnish inquirers free of
charge

TWO LANDl 0Rns

Quite naturally there are two kinds
or types OF landlords, just as there are
two types of hired men or tenants
whose services one may secure We
know couple Of landlords who exem-
pity in~ important respects the types
above referred to. Both men possess
good characters, are kind hearted and
are possessed of strict honesty and in
tegrity. The one, the type we would
commend, is up to date in the matter
OF the methods which he wishes to
have followed in the conduct Of his
farms He has not only provided am
pie and comfortable buildings for the
shelter and housing of the stock on
the farm, but is ready to cooperate
with his tenant in the purchase of
machinery and tools whereby the work
may be more easily and effectively
done. He believes that pure breds
are more profitable than SCRUBS and
aids his tenant in working out this
theory also. Although doing none OF
the manual labor himself be reads
the best agricultural magazines he can
get and sees that his tenant has oppor-
tunity to do the same
During the winter months both at
tend the sessions of the county insti
tufe, where they come in touch with
the latest ideas on agricultural meth
DDS The other man is just as moral
and respectable, but is old fogyish and
conservative Brought up under cir
cumstances which demanded the exer-
else Of rigid economy, it has become
second nature to him, and be is at

of every cent for improvements in
buildings or machinery which would
aid in the proper care of the stock and

most advantageously BY some proc
ess of reasoning which is not at all
clear he has figured out that it is
cheaper to let the hay spoil in the NOW
than it is to invest few dollars in
shingles and repairs; more economical
to lose dozens of little pigs than it lis

cheaper to have the farm stock tramp

fields than it Is to put some hard cash
In good posts and tight fences. The

realize that they are not half so ex-
pensive as getting along without them
While be may have had good tenants
In the past, he cannot expect to keep
them long, as they are likely to CON
clude that life is too short TO work
under such discouraging conditions.
The tenants of the first landlord are
enthusiastic and encouraged because
they are doing their work under the
best conditions obtainable, while the
tenant of the second farm owner Is
sdownhearted and discouraged not only
because of the loss which he himself
suffers as result of the rundown
condition of things, but he also real
