THE UP TO DATE FARMER.
How He Makes Agriculture a Paying
Business.

How He Makes Agriculture a Paying
Business.
The up to date farmer knows the
value of being up to date. He knows
that new discoveries in the various sci
ences related to agriculture reveal new
relations and suggest better methods.
He knows that many of the theories
held and many of the methods prac-
ticed years ago, and some even now,
are worthless. He knows that one
farmer cannot make as many expert
ments as can a thousand men.
He reads books on farming and does
not scott at the book farmer, nor does
he refuse to listen to the college pro
! fessors, for, while he has great respect
for the students of agriculture, yet he
| knows that the time has not come and
never can come when agriculture shall
be reduced to a rigid science, which
shall be governed by a code of rules
and laws, as are such sciences as chem
istry, physics and the like.
The up to date farmer has the latest
improved farming implements and to
save horsepower and to do most eff
cient work always keeps them in per
feet order. He does not use pow that
will not scOur nor one that is dull nor
one whose adjustment Is such that
three horses must work hard to do the
work which two could easily do with Il
pillow properly adjusted. He under
stands the application of force to all
his farm machinery so that the great
est amount of work is accomplished
with the least expenditure Of power,
, When his farm implements are not in
use he keeps them well housed if it Is
profitable to do so. A hundred dollar
wagon shed into which a twenty-five
dollar farm wagon is backed by hand
every time the team is unhitched is not
: profitable.
) The up to date farmer pays his debts
Not the least important of these is the
one he owes to the soil. He knows that
each crop which the soil yields takes
from it something of it's fertility anC
that unless this fertility is returned t.
the soil it can soon yield only dimin
, ished crop. SO he is very careful yea
by year to pay back to his land tina
