Fame.

1t Is hard to convince man who has
never had a taste of it that fame is not
a sure cure for insomnia and that tired
feeling.
Few men have such weak eyes that
they are afraid to trust them In the
full glare of the limelight 1t looks
good to the man who has never had it
turned on him, but those who have
stood around on one foot and generous
ly allowed the spot light to play on
them from all directions insist that 1t
isn't nearly so soul satisfying as would
appear from the advertisement
However, they never signal the man
to turn it off. They stand there and al
low 1t to glare on, although their com
pleXions may be easily tanned.
Those fellows who insist that fame is
a hollow mockery because they have
tasted about a quarters worth of 1t
never seek "A quiet hamlet in the noun

Although they know all about it, they

Lust HIS Way.

A New York dentist who in fifty
idle moments married fifty different
women is about to take treatment for
the marrying habit in prison term.
The doctors Of law who have looked
into his case think that Is about the
only thing that will cure him.
The first time young man leads
blushing girl up to the altar and
takes the preacher aside to ask him
how much 1t will be he feels embar.
rassed and doesn't know what to do
with his hands. By the time he has
been married forty times it comes
about as easy to him as buying Il cut
rate ticket of a scalper.
You wouldn't think that a man could
find fifty women with enough money
and jewelry to make them attractive
who would marry him without de-
manding moving picture of his past,
but there is the evidence. The moral
Is that the bashful young man should
take courage. He can find wife If
he will ask enough women, and the
chances are that 1t will be the first
one he asks.

Farm Machinery and Labor.

A monograph by H. w. Quintance
on the influence Of farm machinery on
production and labor makes 1t appear
that the area OF land devoted to the
crops in the production of which ma
chinery has come to be generally used
has increased from 23.3 acres in 1880
to 81 acres per male worker in 1900
The general conclusion is reached that
the Introduction of agricultural ma
chinery during the twenty years from
1850 to 1900 increased the effectiveness
of human labor on the farm one third,
reduced the number of laborers per
farm, increased the wages of labor
and shortened the length Of the work.

WE CANNOT get away from the
fact that in Colorado and Garfield
county the road question is very
serious problem In this county there
is much work to do and scarcely any
funds available with which to pay
bills The Post is not especially i'm
pressed with the present system of
building and repairing roads. 1t re-
suits too often in the appointment of
incompetent men as road overseers and
the money we squander on the roads
is almost wasted. This is not neces-
sarily the fault of the county commits
sioners. OF course they are to a GER
tain extent to blame for the appoint
ment of incompetent overseers but
this they canuot always avoid Some
of the overseers are good and do their
work in conscientious manner, while
others are of little account. 1t
would probably be better if the entire
system could be put in charge of a
competent road man who should be
held responsible for results and who
should have authority to discharge all
incompetents, which might result in
the county getting much more for the
money spent than at present. Some
plan other tnan the present is at least
worth trying fol- it must be admitted
that the present system is far from
satisfactory.

This device is used to carry manure

FALL SOWING FOR OATS.
A Case Where This Departure Fro"

A Case Where This Departure From
Precedent Proves Valuable.
We have always been strong advo-
Gates Of fall plowing for oats. This Is
not in accordance with the advice or
our best agricultural writers and in
stitute lecturers, nearly all of whom
recommended cover crops to prevent
the loss of fertility. In this latitude,
however, snow usually forms very
good covering Besides, the ground
usually stays frozen nearly all the
time; hence 1t is quite safe to fall
plow, as the freezing and snow pre-
vent the teaching or waste of fertility.
Farther south, where the ground is not
frozen much and rains are heavy and
frequent, 1t Is different proposition,
and fall plowing may not be advisable.
How to Plow.
We plow our fields in equally divided
lands, plowing out this time and "in,'
or, the other way, next time, thus keep
ing them comparatively level. We do
our deep plowing in the fall, so that the
winters freezing and springs thawing
will correct or tame the soil that has
been turned up for the first time. The
dead burrows are run out well, and all
water burrows are made so as to carry
all water off in the spring in hurry.
If there Is no chance for the water to
stand stagnant there is not much dan
ger Of the ground pudding and baking
where 1t Is little heavy.
This Means Early Sowing.
Land prepared in this way means
week earlier sowing oats, and the early
sown oats are always the heaviest and
best and are less liable to be hurt by
the rust. 1t means an earlier harvest,
and If you wish to SOW the oat stubble
to wheat you can plow the ground ear
lier and get better seed bed. We used
to be troubled by our fall plowed land
baking in the spring. but since we have
practiced letting the water off and got
our land full of clover roots and have
increased the humus by plowing under
SO much clover and quit pasturing our
farming land in and out of season, we
are not at all bothered in this way.-I.

Ohio Farmer.
