GunptisR On the FarR-
A farm is worth twice as much as It
is worth in dollars and cents.
Slowly and steadily all day long
accomplishes more than to hurry and
worry for a short time and then quit
One gets less tired for the same work
accomplished.
II there are any vacancies in the
cornneld, fill them with beans or
something that can be turned to &C
count Keep every foot Of your farm
growing something that will help.
Now don't find fault with your wife
because she doesn't keep pie baked all
the time. Anyway, too much pie is
not healthful. An Indiana man died
after eating seven pies. .- .....s.. Sd
Stir the earth. Remember that a.
agitation is the death of all political
never devised more useful imple-
ment that the hoe in its various forms.
Your greatest aid in the harvest In
your faithful team. See to 1t that
flies, and that they are properly fed
and watered They have well earned
humane treatment
Don't be afraid of OVERRIDING the
cultivation of the corn crop. When
there is a lull in other work, If the
stalks are not SO high that there Is
danger of knocking them over, run the
cultivator through the field once more.
If you want nice bright hay that the
cattle will eat up clean, and that will
do them the most good, don't wait till
the blossoms have dropped on and the
stalk is dry and hard: cut your grass
when it is crisp and juicy.
You are not done with your sum-
mer's work unless you have cut out
the brush and stuff from the corners
Of the fences. Perhaps you have some
that will cut a little grass. Save 1t all.
you will need 1t before next spring.
We have usually succeeded best in
having out hay baled up as soon as
the stacks are out of the sweat; then
we sell at once After this time the
hay shrinks good deal, and more
waste must be cut from outside Of the
stacks.
When the day is particularly hot
and trying, and things seem to 90 at
cross purposes, think OF something
pleasant. Just draw q mental picture
OF theafter-harvest outing that you
and your wife and your boys and girls
are going to have. Remember that
love sweetens labor.
L; farmer Is not better than other
men. it is his own fault, for he lives
closer to the heart Of Nature. He
hears the voice OF God every day, In
sweet communion with the trees, the
brooks, the sky. He beholds the
glory God has painted; he sniffs ira
GRANGE from heaven. How can he help
being good.
TT is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" and the hard times have eased
the demand on the labor market, %
that 1t is now possible to get workers,
and the farmer and his wife may Be
able to find some one to help, IL 1t In
only long enough to tide over the ex-
ira work that harvest makes in field
and house.
Those whose field work requires
their early rising, enjoy the most
beautiful part Of the day. The picture
of daybreak Illuminating the eastern
sky. and the sun breaking through the
mists of dawn, is one never to be for
gotten. and It is one 50 illusive that
painters have tried in vain adequately
to put It on canvas.
A tub or a barrel often drops down
for want of a hoop. II everybody
knew how easy it is to make 4 hoop
from a wire.-perhaps a piece of waste
telegraph wire often seen by the road
side-the word would not wait.
Simply bend the wire around the tub
to measure it. remove 1t and twist II
fast. Then drive 1t on like q hoop;
drive 1t fast. 1t will not break, and
being galvanized will last inden-
