AS I understand it, there's a differ
ence between farming and mining.
Saints alivel Who disputes it?" 1
fancy some Of you saying. Perhaps
nobody does, as an abstract PROPOSE
ton. But, in practice, I see now and
then one who doesn't seem to compre-
bend the difference.
Mining might be defined as the dig
ging out Of the earth some valuable
content of said earth and selling 1t.
till ali that viii pay for digging has
been removed. Then the miner moves
on to some other prospect" and be-
gins the same thing over again.
Farming, ON the other hand. might
be defined as the art of so renewing
the earth with cheap stuff that it viii
voluntarily return and keep on return

My own opinion is that either kind
of manuring is more profitable than
augmentation In the back room Of the
store. But, doubt If either disputant
is quite right. I'd like to see Hoskins
raise a crop Of early potatoes in the
moist clay-loam back Of nay south
meadow with stable manure alone.
When I try 1t, get a tremendous
yield of tops and rot. And I'd like to
see Sherman raise a paying crop Of
corn on the gravelly soil of my home
lot, year after year, with his chemi-
Gals. alone. The first-named soil
doesn't need and won't use, probably,
the Ienoromus excess of nitrogen which
stable manure furnishes. 1t results
in a yield, all tops and no berries.
The last-named soil does need and
must have the nitrogen and, above all,
the humus which stable manure sup
plies.

IF you're farming, as distinguished
from mining, you've got to feed your
farm. And the question Of how and
what to feed it is the fundamental
question In successful farming. The
only way to get a satisfactory answer
to that question is TO ask the farm
what it wants. And the only way to
ask is by trying on" all sorts of sup
plies. Use your judgment and your
reason, as far as they go, in planning
your experiments. Then subject the
schemes reason has suggested to the
test Of the soil itself. You must wait
season for any answer; you may
have to ask two or three times before
you're sure you've read the answer
right. But. In the name Of common
sense. try to read the answer honestly
and without prejudice. Don't attempt
to twist il out Of all shape in the en-
deavor to make it what YOU thought
il might, could. would. and should be.
When the very dirt revolts at your
stable manure and won't use it, don't
get stubborn and persist along that
line just because you've been an ad-
vocate of the dung-fork in the neigh
borhood. dfsputation. And, when you
find some crop "petering out" despite
your most skilled applications Of your
most carefully compounded chemicals,
don't repeat the mistake. just because
you think that what doesn't work
ought to work.

The farmer seeks out a promising bit
of earth's surface and sets to work
with different tools. He scratches It
with his plows and harrows till the
scabious acres fairly purr with pleas
ure; he "tickles it with his hoe" till
1t laughs out in a crop Of mealy tu-
bers or golden grain, which he gath
ers in and sells. So far he is behav-
ing somewhat like the miner. He IS
getting something out Of the dirt to
sell. Some farmers in the west still
stop right there. A good many in the
