FARM BURROWS.

II is fact that sometimes a man is
apt to think that his enemies are busy
sowing weed seeds when he is asleep.
No matter how carefully land is farm
ed, it seems necessary to go over each
field every year and pull out the scat
tering noxious weeds. One always
performs that kind of labor reluctant
ly, but nevertheless it pays to look
after the stray plants.
There is more than one way to
speak to a dog and, by the way, that
also applies when speaking to men.
| have known individuals whose
every tone of voice made me angry.
Possibly you have, too, and my only
hope is that you prevented yourself
from doing any harm to their phys
iognomy.
For some reason or another the
mower is the hardest implement on
our farm, to keep in repair. About
once year will break the head off
a sickle and occasionally the pitman
rod will go busted. By the way, |
have learned that a wooden pitman
rod is less apt to break the sickle
than a metal one.
/ claim, and always have claimed,
that any intelligent man can stack
grain well enough so that it will turn
water. will put it this way: Any
man who knows enough to operate a
farm properly need not hesitate
about learning how to stack grain,
although ! have known lots of men
who thrashed from the shock giving
as the reason that they didn't know
how to stack.
| am great believer in the work
that our agricultural colleges are do
ing in teaching young men to become
judges of live stock, After all, an
animal with a good conformation,
especially a horse, will stand lots
more work and lots more grief than
one that is little out of plumb.
What abominable hog pastures you
find the country over! In spring and
summer they are all overturned and
uprooted and in fall little better than
a patch of dried stubble. This is all
because we don't have good pasture
to start with and we try to keep too
many hogs to the acre. We have a
great deal to learn regarding the
science of making pork on grass.
The excessive wet weather that we
have had this spring has brought out
clearly this fact in regard to the use
of the road drag: The wetter the
weather and the greater the need of
dragging the roads the less time
farmer has to set aside to this work.
Adversely, the better the weather
and the more time farmer has to
spend on the roads the less occasion
there is to do so. There is a problem
that beats anything in checkers.
Give me a we'll conditioned horse
every time. You can't get horse
power out of skin and bones any
more than you can get fire out of
scrap iron. 1t takes big broad, plump
muscles to do work. The reason that
a horse gets thin when he works
hard is not because in that condition
