The father of a family was in 1877
sixty years old and so worn out py the
business struggle that he had to aoan-
don all work. He had a wife ana ten
children, seven of them boys. all less
than twenty one years old He had
$40 600 and with 1t bought 800 acre
rundown farm in Pennsylvania and
started the first year $500 In DEBT
Then the whole family went vigorous
" and intelligently to work.
After seventeen years, during when
time all the children had been educat-
ed at college and beautiful nome
built. the farm books at the END OF
1909 showed the place to be worth
$40 100 and the net income for the year
$5.197.G1.
The father is happy and healthy and
at seventy-seven supervises every de
tail of the farm; the wife. who mas

hearty; two sons are lawyers, one Is
minister, one a professor, one a civil
engineer and one a farmer. but the

nearby farms which they will late'

Mo Excuse For ignorance.

An aged farmer at an extension
school of agriculture recently said: Il
am glad to be able to learn so much
about farming. but it makes me sad
to think that it comes too late in life
to do me any good If | had only
known these things years ago would
have avoided so many mistakes and
done so much better"
1t may be sad to contemplate bene
fits that come too late. but it is sad
der still to think of the young men
who do not try to avail themselves Of
knowledge that is placed before them
There is no longer any valid excuse
for ignorance of the fundamental prin-
ciples Of farming.
Agricultural experiment stations. ex-
tension schools, institutes. bulletins
and papers are within reach Of every
farmer In the land who really wants
to learn.

At our present rate of deforestation
fuel and fencing materials will be
very scarce within a few years. Plant
waste lands in forest trees to supply
the timber required on the farm

A Few Good Crop Yields.

While the farmers are too bus
lily engaged in the field just now
to take time to figure out crop
yields we are assured that the
returns are proving fully as good
as had been expected in most
localities. ]. E. Gentry, who
recently threshed a fine field of
winter barley on his farm north
of town, secured a yield of 80
bushels per acre. We did not
learn the size of the field. F. G.
Nuxoll threshed 81 bushels of
wheat to the acre from a 60-acre
field at Greencreek this week
and also secured a yield of 40
bushels per acre from wheat that
was seeded into stubble ground
last fall. ]. F. Jenny, residing
Just north of town, secured a
yield of about so bushels per
acre from his fall wheat. AS
harvest progresses and the farm
ers get time to figure up their
yields we expect to hear of many
equal or superior to the above.
Its the soil and the climate e
both Incompatible.

Keep The Tools In Order.

Very often an immense amount
of time is lost in trying to per-
form a piece of work with tool
in poor condition that otherwise
could be done in a short time
with a tool in good condition.
The harvest season is always a
busy time, yet many farmers
leave the repairing of their har-
vest machinery until they want
to use it before making any
effort toward repairing. Con-
sequently the grain becomes dead
ripe, and great loss results
from shattered and over-ripe
grain, besides the loss in time of
high priced labor.
When bad weather comes gath
err the tools into the shop and re-
pair them. See that the hay
racks are in good condition long
before they are needed, mowers
and binders all frightened up and
all of the worn out parts replaced
with new ones during the winter
months. Repair and grease the
harness, and never allow a shovel
or dirty tool of any kind to be
put away until it has been thor
oughly cleaned and frightened
up.
There should be a place in the
shop for all hand tools; wrenches
, in one place, saws in another,
and so on with every tool. Nails
and bolts should be kept in handy
, places, and a liberal store of the
| things mentioned, and many
others just as important should
always be on hand, thus avoiding
the necessity of a trip to town,
: or working without them till 6
r trip can be made to town. Farm
ers should all have a knowledge

IRON IN WATER ]

It 10 One Of tho Most Powerful Flavor.

What would you consider one Of the
most powerful agents with which to
favor water: Would it be iron?
A half part per million Of iron In
water is detachable by taste. and more
than four or Eve parts make water
unpalatable. In some mineral springs
iron is the constituent which imparts
4 medicinal value to the water. but
ordinarily it Is undesira BILE.
More than 25 parts per million in
water used for laundering makes a
stain on clothes. Iron must be remov-
ed from water from which ice is made
or a cloudy discolored product will re-.
suit. An iron content Of over two or
three parts per million In water used
in the manufacture Of paper will stain
the paper.
Iron 10 harmful In water used for
steaming, for 1t is in equilibrium with
acids which inside the boiler become
dlssociated. with the result that the
free acids corrode the boiler plates. but
