He~e is q minister who APP
precia rs the editor. at a
recent editorial convention
he offered the following toast:
"To save an editor from
starvation take his paper and
pay for it promptly. To save
him from bankruptcy adver-
tise in his paper literally. To
save him from despair send
him every item of news OF
which you can get hold. To
save him from profanity write
your correspondence plainly
on one side of the sheet and
send it in as early as possible.
To save him from mistakes,
bury him. Dead people are
the only ones who never make
mistakes. ;"
The average farmer is pro-
badly not aware of the fact
that an average mule sells for
$40 a head more than horses.
Such is the case, and the
price has been gradually ris-
ing for a number of years.
There has never been what
would be called an over-pro-
duction of mules, while the
market has often been unable
to fully supply the demaud.
We want to say a good
word for the man who meets
his small obligations prompt
ly. They are not as plentiful
as they should be and the
man needs encouraging. Most
men will pay but fewer will
pay promptly. Almost any
firm will testify that counting
the time, postage, booking,
and the like, it costs all some
accounts are worth to collect
them, and still the man owing
it to them is perfectly respon-
sible in a financial way. 1t
very often happens that the
worst sinner in this particular
is the man best able to pay.

First come those fOrty-dye loads of manure The field must be mighty man, and team to load, draw out and spread ten two-horse loads a day. This makes four and a half days of team work Then 1t was plowed and subsoiled twice. It would take one man and team a full day, or two men the acre first with surface and then with subsoil blow. This makes two days more of team work. The harrow ing and marking would call for anoth- CT halliday of team work He doesn't say how many times he cultivates the crop, but it was "aS much as the land would stand" With such fertilization exuberant growth of weeds, 1t is safe to assume that he must have cultivat- ed the acre at least four times, which would call, at lowest estimate, for another full day of team work This makes eight days of team work Then This had to be taken to the field and applied. If this was all done by hand we must add two days of hired man" work Assuming that the ears were broken off al harvest time and drawn in, there would have been, in their unf1usked state. about ten tons of them involving another full day for team and two men, That is. it calls for nine days team work, all together, and three days one-man work to care for and get in the crop

Now we are corning to the nnaruring.

Now we are coming to the maturing. He put on and plowed under forty five two horse loads of COW manure. This he valued at s1.25 a load, or $56.25, which is just about the valuation in my neighborhood. Later, in five sep arate applications, he put on $500 pounds of commercial fertilizers, which he specifies. He states that these cost him $58.S0. There is where his good luck seems to have begun. I find that the price of the same $500 pounds of exactly the same materials to me would be $92.20, or s33.40 more than he had to pay. But, accepting his fig ures as those of his local market, his manure and fertilizer stood him in s115.05. "The total cost of the crop" he says, was $139.O2.' That is, after deducting the cost of the manure and fertilizers. he allows $23.97 for all oth- CT costs of production.

Now, I've been anaIyzine these fig ures which he gives, to see how far they could be made to apply to my sit- uation, and what hope there would be for me in an imitation of them. To begin with. it is apparent that his acre yielded him about 7,250 quarts of corn from about 19,00O plants-plants eight inches apart in the forty-one inch rows. That is. he must have got a quart of corn from every two and a half plants. As it takes six good ears of ordinary eight-rowed corn, from ten to twelve inches long, to shell out a quart, he must have done better than two good ears to a plant, on every plant through out the acre This, certainly, is a good yield. But, in view of the manuring and cultivation, it is not impossible nor incredible.

I know perfectly well that I can raise $200 worth of that same crop on that same acre-if I will spend about $225 in labor and fertilizer and other things. Then I should have to hunt that surplus for $25 to make good my loss. Which would be neither farming nor playing ball, but just simple dam : foOliShneSS.

(WTitten specially for The Bulletin)
 The miracles that are happening these days in farming and kindred occupa- tions sometimes take my breath away as see them recorded fin the agricuI- tural papers-and the advertisements Especially the advertisements I've got quite used to hearing how I can make $1,500 in ten months from sixty hens in a back garden ten feet wide by forty long. Now comes the tale of how two men who. four years ago, didn't ting a profit of s14.000 a year from poultry I own right up that these things make me gasp little But then, what l don't know about hens would i'll nabridged. The only thing I'm sure of about them is that they don't like me and won't work for me-unIeSS they see by the market reports thak eggs are plenty and prices away Gown. Then they fair 1y erupt eggs
 So don't pretend to doubt or to be- lieve these hen histories. I simply get what breath can. after reading then1 and begin another chapter. But I used to know something about raising corn. and when read last fall, that a certain North Carolina farmer had talk eu a county premium for biggest crop with 9 measured yield of 266 2-S bush els from a measured acre, I sat up and began to take notice Only this very week however. have I succeeded in get
 
 Of how. he did it. He writes to a farm paper.
 "On the 18th of March 25 two horse loads of COW manure were applied. It was then pIowed twelve inches deep, and Sub-Soiled six inches deeper. On the 9th of April 20 more loads of ma ure were spread and the field was plowed and sub-soiled again-tflis time 29 inches deep. Three days later 800 pounds of acid phosphate and 2,OO0 pounds of coxtonsed meal were spread and narrowed in. The corn was plant ed eight inches apart with the rows 41 inches apart, and 500 pounds of S3-3 fertilizer put in the TOW. May 10th, 400 pounds acid phospate, 800 pounds kainit and 200 pounds nitrate Of soda were put along the rows. On the 27th 200 pounds of cottonseed meal, 200 pounds acid phosphate, 400 pounds kainit and 200 pounds nitrate of soda were broadcasted and narrowed in. June 9th, 200 pounds of cottonseed meal 200 pounds acid phosphate, 400 pounds kainit and 200 pounds nitrate were applied. The yield was 226 2-3 bushels The manure applied was worth $56.z5: the fertilizer cost $5S.S0, and the total cost of the crop was s139.G2"
 TIze previous year the acre was in cow-peas, and, in another part of his letter. the corn man says: "I did all I could with the land and the cultivation I cultivated as much as I thought the land would stand"
