How to Make the Farm Pay.

The story u told Of y successful
Irish farmer who was being worried
by his friends to write book on how
to make the farm pay. After awhile
be told them that he had started IL
and In due cOurse announced the
completion Of the manuscript, but he
refused absolutely to have 1t pub
lishe<i, insisting that It must become
part Of his estate to be sold At bis
demise. When that inevitable time
arrived, All auction sale was arranged
and many anxious bidders were ON
hand to compete for the valuable
manuscript; after spirited bidding It
was sold for 500. Imagine the as
Constituent Uf the purchaser when he
found 1t to contain these words only,
"How to Make the Farm Pay-Ma-
nure! Manure! Manurc.' Not
withstsnding the brevity, this sue
cessful farmer had told the whole
story.
In newspaper read before the
staatc GutVOtt 1t ocSotOh iCSVhUy esp ~
peka, KAN, Charles Sessions, of tho
Kansas City Journal, spoke much
truth In few words when he said:
II never Ind any experience in the
country newspaper field. My fifteen
years work has been OH city paper.
But as close reader Of the country
papers 1t is my observation that that
paper succeeds best which has no
politician bossing its editor. lin pol
iticisn must boss the policy Of pa
per, sell him the paper. 1t doesn't
pay to wear collar. You might
write stories booming n politician
until you were stricken with pen
paralysis, and after all that IL you
should happen to dictate five line
item criticising him, he would forget
all the good things you ever said
about him and become yOilr enemy
for life. AS the saying gOes, you
had better have your heel Oh his
neck than his on yours And the
application can be extended To others
who are not politicus, is our experi-
