Fish Do Not Hear.

Much controversy has taken place

Water is the king of beverages; 1t

the injurious habit of consuming other
beverages. But water that is not pure
may be more harmful than the most
harmful of other driRks, says writer

ment should emphasize. the dangers
of impure water and urge upon the
public the necessity Of. giving this
matter first consideration. There are
at my command numerous health re-
ports bearing on this subject, and it
is not difficult to prove that the death
rate would be enormously lowered by
greater care with regard to the con-
sumption of pure water.

Farming is more than planting seed

With feed so high It will take more
careful figuring than ever to keep
stock with profit.
The platform on which the COWS
stand should be short enough to keep
them out Of their droppings.

The Public Ledger of Philadelphia

farmers are watching the experiment.
and "horseless farms" may soon be
all the rage.
One element of success in farming
is the control of soil moisture, and
the only way this can be accomplish.
ed is by the thorough drainage Of bis
land. For this reason tiles should be
laid at least as far below the surface
as the water level should be in ordi.
nary weather. Many farmers lose half
Of the benefit Of tile draining by lay
ing the tiles too near the surface Of
the ground being drained. Except In
times Of freshet the water will drain
out Of the soil to the level OF the tile
drain, and the roots of the plants will
quickly develop in this medium OF
earth. which is wet but not saturated
with water.
1t is probable that the selection Of
the higher ears for seed corn tends
towards increased size and later ma
turity, as also the selection Of ex-
tremely low ears tends to reduce the

The farmer who Is selling his crops
through the stock he is feeding must
be sure that he is making more than
the market price for the feed, else he
will not be getting anything for his
work. Keep an accurate account and
find out what you are really doing.
We do not always realize the rag
ged edges we leave in our work until
we are showing some visitor about
the farm. Then We are ashamed Of the
filthy barnyard, the dirty cattle, the
ungroomed horses. and the general
appearance Of untidiness about the
place. Better turn over a new leaf and
be more thorough In your work.
First in importance in feeding live
stock is to manage to get an increased
profit over the market price Of the
food consumed, then the return Of fer
tility to the land through the manures
must be counted In any live stock
business 1t is necessary that a large
part Of the crops used by stock shall
be harvested by them by grazing.
This reduces the cost Of the crop and
at the same time makes better stock.
