FARMING No "Snap."

! often see wild yarns telling how
a mechanic with $500 to $500 can
make a good living on few acres of
land, or a stenographer or school
teacher can earn enough to support a
family with chickens on a town lot.
People who are ignorant of the
farming business are often induced by
these silly stories to throw up their
jobs and try it. Any kind of farm
ing 10 serious business and requires
lot of technical knowledge, and it
cannot be learned in a day or year.
If a mechanic is so situated that
he can get a piece of land near his
job on which he can experiment. keep
ing close to the payroll at the factory
meantime, he will be able to tell in
year or two whether it is a good
thing or not.
Go very slow and when you venture
on farming or chicken raising stick
close to some other kind of job that
will keep the meal tub supplied till
you are sure that you can succeed.
Then 60 at it for all you are worth.

The College Farm Boy Maker of
New Prosperity.

Throughout the country the benefit
of education at the agricultural COL
leges is beginning to assume an i'm
pOrtalce in the eyes of the farming
communities which it never had be.
fore.
The boys who come back to the
farm inbued with the idea of semitic
farming are making records for them
selves which causes the old time
farmers to open their eyes.
The experienced farmers who
thought they knew all about corn grow
ing for instance, are finding that these
lads who come back from school with
scientific knowledge as to the best
methods of preparing the SOIL select
ing the seed, and doing other things
of vital importance, are growing crops
that are record-breakers.
The yield that the average college
boy secures from his experimental
corn field is so great that his corn
is Immediately in demand for seed
among the neighbors who see how
much better success he is having than
they have had, and while they will
not be able to produce a good crop
from his seed alone they are begin
ming to follow his methods of cultiva-
ton and the result is an increase in
the quality and quantity Of the corn
yield.
One farmers son in Wisconsin is
said to have cleared 100000 from
his seed corn, this amount being in
excess of his fathers entire income
from the whole farm. Another col.
lege farm boy secured $4,000 per
bushel for his seed corn, and so it
goes.
The average American farm boy
is not only substantial and respon.
sible young man, but he is filled with
an ambition to do better things than
have ever been done, in whatever he
undertakes to do; and twenty years
from today, the neighborhoods where
the finest crops are produced and
where the best and most productive
farms are located, will point back to
the time when the boys were first sent
to agricultural colleges as the begin
ming of this new prosperity, which is
dawning upon the farmers of the

Is Not a Minor.

Alfalfa, this comparative new plant
for America, is as old as the hills, TO
use familiar expression. Away back
in the ages, when civilization was
still in embryo, centuries before
Christ, Alfalfa was grown by the
tribes and nomades, who populated
the elevated plains of Central Asia,
where the cradle of humanity is
supposed to have stood. Later on
we find it mentioned in the day Of the
Roman empires, and after crossing
Europe during the middle ages, it was
brought to South America by the
Spaniards, from where it was brought
to California in the SOS.
