Give the hens good dust bath. Put

clever scheming that brings success.
IT'S hard work that brings enduring
success. The genius Of hard work is
the best asset in life.
The farmer who begrudges the time
necessary to feed and care for the
logs is generally the farmer who on
market day is disappointed with the
return from the sales.
Before worrying over the fact that
your neighbor has more land than you
have, Just study over the question
whether you are getting as much as
is possible out Of the land you already
have.
Every farm in the land should have
Its flock Of sheep. Twenty are none
too many. They will keep the pas
lures free from weeds. and while
living on forage which the other ami
mails would not touch will enrich the
ground with their droppings.
II Is rather q startling statement
which the dairy commissioner Of Min
nesota makes when he says he be-
lieves the farmers OF that state lose
S34,000.000 every year through poor
cows. Probably there are rather more
than 100000 cows in that state. That
would mean that on an average every
COW in Minnesota robs her master Of
t34.
The Pennsylvania agricultural col
lege has pust completed most sue
cessful test with an acre OF fruit
trees which were unproductive and un-
profitable. The 81 trees were first
trimmed and then in April sprayed
for San Jose scale. This was followed
at blossoming by another spraying for
the codling moth. The result was a
marked increase in the quantity and
the quality of the fruit borne. After
reading this just ask yourself II. you
are realizing all the possibilities Of
your orchard, and II not, why not?
Sheep and lamb feeding is fast
changing from q large scale to one Of
small proportions. owing to the fact
that It is becoming more difficult to
secure large numbers Of lambs from
the range. Range keepers are finding
It profitable to finish their own lambs
and send them to market practically
fattened. Most of them begin by own

corn In connection with their range

In speaking of the prosperity and
the conservatism of the American
farmer the National Mazazine has this
to say: mo other class OF people
have kept their feet SO firmly since
last October (1907) as the farmers
have done, and they have kept their
heads. too. They look out over the
country and behold the symptoms
here and there Of financial demorali-
xation and depression, In the light
railroad traffic, partly suspended man
ufacturing, commercial hesitancy, In
activity, and speculative paralysis.
They realize that, in so far as these
things, portend low wages or lack Of
for labor, they must III
timately affect the farmer by limiting
the demand for his product; but they
are sagacious enough to know that
existing conditions, with the worlds
supply Of food relatively low. will pre-
vent any acute depression In the
prices of farm products for two or
three years to come. by which time
financial disorders affecting other
classes win doubtless have passed
