ADVICE SARCASTIC.
How You Can Avoid Being a Book
Farmer.

Every now and then we find a farm
er who has a horror of book farmers
and would not for any consideration
be considered by his neighbors as
such. We wish to help this fellow and,
therefore, make a few suggestions.
First, we advise him not to keep
any books for his farm operations
Simply go along from year to year,
taking what you get without know
Ing what 1t costs you, avoiding all ac-
curate knowledge of what 1t has cost
you to produce a ton of hay, bush
Ell Of wheat or oats, pound of pork
or beef or butter. Such information
as this is dangerous to the man who
Is fearful of being a book farmer.
Don't take any agricultural papers.
They, too, are dangerous, for they
might set you to thinking. They might
contaminate your mind with the re-
suits of experiment stations or the ex-
perience of farmers. II you read any
agricultural paper at all, read one
that somebody has sent you for moth
ing in order to get your trade or your
| pau vi III bbllb OAbtA lbooplt
honorable or dishonorable. This will
not do you much harm, but better not
take any at all.
BY all means keep away from all ag.
ricultural Institutes. Avoid particu-
larly any lectures that have the least
tinge of science II is true that sci
ence is only the application Of com
mon sense to farm operations, and
that It only teaches how to obey the
laws of nature but science smacks
Of book farming and, therefore, every.
thing that has the remotest connec-
zion with science should be avoided
Keep away from farmers Institutes.
To further avoid any possible dan.
ger of becoming a book farmer try
to. find fault with the operations OF
your neighbors. II your neighbor
across the fence has 80 bushels OF
corn this year while you have only
40, try to explain Il in some way that
will not be a reflection on your own
practice. You might say that his
land was better to begin with. that he
was lucky, or that he happened to
plant just in the right Sign" You can
easily explain his success without Civ
ing any credit whatever to what IL
known as book farming. You can also
explain why he raises large httsrs Of
pigs. or has large yields of milk, oi
gets better weight and better prices
for his steers. Cultivate the disposi
ton to find fault and criticise In
every way possible.
II these directions, says Wallace'i
Farmer, are followed, we will guar
lntee that the man who follows then
will not be regarded as a book farmer

straight poles about IN inches In d.
next procured a number OF nice
smooth boards for the flooring of my
veranda, making Il about 8 feet wide
and 10 feet long and strengthening II
with the necessary timbers. Il secure
ly nailed the poles about 8 inches
apart around the flooring to form an
inclosure, leaving an opening In front
about feet wide, as shown in the
cut.
The poles in front we're 7 feet from
the floor to the roof and IL feet at
the house. About midway OF their
height the poles were strengthened
by row of poles nailed horizontally
and another row was placed at the top.
To make all secure against rain, the
slanting roof poles were next care
fully covered with overlapping rows
of bark. All this required but small
outlay OF cash and even less Of work,
yet when my work was so far COM
pleted, considered It ready for the
vines and contemplated the result
with much satisfaction.
Being in haste for immediate re-
suits, planted some roots OF the
hardy native woodbine, which will
soon cover any space with its rapid
growth. II Is an easy matter to SOW
seed of the morning glory. hardy an
nual gourd, or any one Of several
hardy climbers and the result will
soon be a mass Of shade and lovely
blossoms besides, all of which makes
the summer evenings pass far more
pleasantly.

Cow testing associations cost little
and save much All there is TO 1t is
for several farmers OF the neighbor-
hood to get together and agree to take
samples and test their cows three or
four times a year, and to have the
work done by an experiment station
or local creamery tester. The cost
is not over six dollars per farmer. and
often means the difference between a
paying business and one that IL los
Ing money every day.

of this plan are these. The larger
fields avoid the great expense OF much

item at this time. Again from No.
stock can be turned to any field on the
farm, doing away with the need Of a
lane, or driving stock over cultivated
fields, getting from one TO another
which are very Objectionable features
Some one may object to this plan
on account of lack of permanent pas
ture. This can be easily managed. by
