SHORT TALKS WITH FARMERS
BY CLINTON M. sHuLTz.

If your land will bring 500 am acre
at sale and you are farming as you
did when 1T was worth only $50 it is
pretty doubtful whether you are max
ing money. With the increase in value
of land our methods of farming must
change; that means economy of labor,
the best machinery rotation of crops,
sell less grain and feed more definitely.
Have you thought about these things?
We recently saw in Kane county, Illi-
nois, twelve beehives in farmers yard
They were all packed with straw and
covered from the north wind and the
storms. Directly across the road were
nine hives in another farmers yard
but nothing had been done to protect
them and they stood exposed to the
rain and snow, expressive of neglect
and unthrift. Inquiry proved that these
two men were relatives, that they
bought their farms about the same
time and had almost an even start in
everything. The first farmer had made
money paid for his land and was out
Of debt. The other was still struggling
along with his ten years mortgage and
had lost faith in farming as a money
making business. But the bees had
told the story of these two men before
a single question had been asked

der Secretary Wilson has been the

ment along sane and permanent lines

a more sensible way and produced more
valuable results-hard-s sense, money
making results-than all the secretaries
who have gone before. Let him alone.
We take off our hat to the American
hog. A half interest in the Worlds
Fair champion boar has been sold to a
Kansas man for $4,000.
Some Michigan farmers report net
profits as high as $50 per acre on the
beet crop last year. This sort Of thing
is alluring, but Michigan soil and sun
shine do not exist everywhere, and
without their vital help the man who
is making good profit on other crops
will make more money.
The telephone is the greatest cure
for loneliness in rural life the world
has ever produced.
There is a great difference in the
way different men construct stairs for
houses and barns. Sometimes we think
a pair of stairs is pair of stairs. and
that is all there is of it, That is a
mistake. man who understands his
business can make stairs that are easy
or difficult to climb 1t will nav to
make study of our stairways.
Every effort should be taken to have
the cellar of the farm home deep
enough to be light easy to get around
In and dry. The health of the family
depends in great measure upon the
condition under the cellar. The time
is coming when no cellar will be per-
mitted under house by a man who
really loves his wife and children. But
if one be under the house it should
have good walls, provided with drains.

from the bottom up. Then let the, cell
lar be kept as neat as the parlor. Dig
the cellar deep enough to permit the

not less than eighteen inches to spare

STORING ICE ALWAYS PAYS

From my own experience I have
found that the keeping of ice does not
altogether depend upon the cost or the
kind Of a house in which to store it,
but rather upon the observation of a
few simple rules in the construction of
the building.
Ice can be preserved in anv place

house, but can be used for child's
room.
The exterior is attractive from either
a front or side view. The small tower
on the front porch can be done away

The basement is to have either a
concrete or stone wall and can be made
any size to suit the owner.-J. c..
