Save the Corn Slower.

HAVE THE CORN stover. 1t is not ques-
ton of whether you make better forage
cheaper. or whether the corn stover is a
frst-class feed. The question is, Can you har-
the value of the slower when harvested? The
stover is grown, it is yours. and II 1t is worth
more than 1t costs to harvest 1t, don't let 1t rot In
the fields. when your neghbors. or your friends
In town, will pay you good profit the cost
OF harvesting 1t, providing you not feed it
on the farm. II 1t costs 81 to harvest the entire
crop, or 81 to gather the only, and there is
one ton of stover. then this stover costs you SO
ton If shredded. 1t is good or better than
cottonseed hulls. for which many cattle men are
paying from Sc to $40 ton.

PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND GAZETTE
Study Selling as Well as Producing.

yUyHERE ARE MANY sides to the farming bust
ness, and while the producing side is the
most important because most under the
control of the individual farmer. and on 1t de-
pends the operation of the others. IT is not the
only important part of the farmers work Ii ia
true that no sell at a profit an article
produced at too high COST yet the selling side
of the farmers business is one important part OF
his work which has been sorely neglected.
We too often market products in the way
that custom convenience dictates. without re-
gard to the tastes, wishes. or convenience of the
buyers and consumers. We seldom study market
conditions or requirements. and many OF us think
1t unworthy of thought and attention to look up
market for the small things that might be
spared from the supplies produced above the
needs OF home consumption.
Just as IT is being learned. during recent years,
that the farmer needs to know many sciences TO
produce his crops most economically. so is 1t be-
ing realized more and more every year that the
farmers must be al-round business man to
succeed best. In this education OF the farm
in the Importance of the selling side of his
calling. the Farmers Union. the Alliance. and the
Cotton Associations have played the most impor-
tant part II the Farmers Union had done moth
ing but this. whereas II has done much more. Il
would justify and amply repay the farmers OF
the South for all the energy and time spen, in
its organization and maintenance.
Farmers do not need 10 be merchants and
bankers any more than they need to be chemists
and psychologists: but they must be business
men. they must know the whole business OF farm
ing. the selling or buying OF farm crops produced
and articles used on the farm. or they are not
complete farmers

True Temperance Teaching VS.. Fa-
naticism.

"HE KEYNOTE of the new spirit In temper
ance teaching was sounded the other day by
DIR. George w Webster. President of the
Illinois Board OF Health when he said:
more may be accomplished by teaching
the people the truth i'm regard To the fatal
effects of alcohol upon mental and physical
efficiency than by cxpatiating the moral
wickcdness of drinking"
This is doctrine which everybody Interested
in the genuine development of temperance would
do well TO bear in mind Long haired orators
who come around and grow eloquent over drunk
ards graves and bllghted homes and deserted
wives may or may not do permanent good II
drinking Is n sin. then It's n sin because IL
Injuries n man. and II "A temperance advocate is
TO accomplish any permanent good he must show
Just how 1t Injuries man. Life insurance tables
show that the man OF thirty stands n rs per cent
better chance to live to be seventy II he doesn't
drink-and one demonstrated statistical fact like
this outweighs all the eloquent generalities in
Ten Nights In Darkroom"
Moreover, because 1t is SO largely physical
question, 1t Is high time TO emphasize the health
side OF the drink problem as we'll as the moral
side. AS DR.. Webster said in the address already
mentioned:
When physicians take hold OF the ques-
ton In the same spirit they have shown
concerning yellow fever. malaria and small
poX' instead OF treating II as moral ques-
ton and leaving IL to clergymen, temperance
workers and enthusiastic reformers we may
expect better results. We deserve condem-

the attitude OF sneering contempt for the ef-
torts or cergymen laymen, enthusiasts, and
reiormers In their attempts to stamp out this 4

HYHARS MORE in the man than thar is in the
land" said Sidney Lanier. and it cannot
be repeated too often. A striking illustra-
ton came to the writer's attention the other day.
On one side of the road was a field of corn green
almost to blackness and almost tropical in its
luxuriance, the yield almost certain to be be-
tween sixty and one hundred bushels per acre.
and the corn of uniformly high quality, the
ground giving evidence of having been deeply
broken and thoroughly cultivated. With only
a ten-foot roadway intervening another field
of corn; the stand poor, the ground evidently
poorly broken had become hard and weedy,
while the corn blades were yellow, the stalks
stunted, and the indicated yield not over twelve
bushels to the acre. The difference in appear
of the two crops great that be-
tween vigorous ruddy athlete and emacated
hook-worm victm-and yet the land the
same. The vigorous -bushel-per-acre corn the
farm had cultivated himself with intelli-
gent and up-to-date methods; the shabby sckly-
looking, weed-nfested 12-bushel-per- corn
was the product of an ignorant renter who SCOTS
at "book-farming' and rejoices in the fact that
he farms like his grandfather did
We are anxious to have all our readers adyer-

we get one or more inquiries from readers who
Wish TO buy some breed Of cattle hogs which
no one is advertising with us. In our last mail
for example, is letter from a reader who wishes
to get half-dozen white Chester pigs Every
time you have pig or calf of any improved

there anything in the Constitution the deca-

crops by common-sense and not by tradition. Late
