thought that labor alone was es-
sential to good farming. At the
present time, however, people are
awakening to the fact that to be
successful farmer requires more
ability andsbetter Judgment than
! any other business or profession:
at is equally true that anyone can
speculate in stocks. But the same
success attends the novice in both
cases, a very important factor
in successful farming lies in SOW
ing nothing but COCO, large, heavy
seed; the kernels; being all of a
uniform size, allows the crop to
ripen evenly, thereby doing away
with nearly all the light grain.
When selling or feeding, the
farmer wants the weight, not the
bulk. Out Of all the small and
split seed that is sown. very little
grows. Some small kernels may.
but they bring forth only small
delicate stock with a correspond
ingly small head, and as their
robust companions start out In
life under more favorable con-
ditions they soon leave the week
hngs far behind; consequently a
considerable percentage must
necessarily be cut green, so that
part of the crop Will be little bet
ter than chat, besides the
strength is taken from the soil to
nourish the poor whic b the good
seed should have.
Now we would like every farmer
who reads these pages to consider

machine will earn extra profits.
Not many are farming for their

largest possible returns for his
