BRAINS NEEDED
ON THE FARM

1t has been well said that a man
from his eyes down is worth a dollar
and a half a day, while from his eyes
up he is worth up to hundreds of dollars
a day. The reason that SO many people
are not worth more is that they do rot
use their brains, being content to follow
methods and practices that have been
handed down. that perhaps do not meet
present day conditions-at- any rate can
not meet them as we'll as what has been
worked out lately 1t is necessary to
find out the best that is known on any
subject that one has in hand; then with
that as a starting point work out new
methods and practices. Oftentimes enc
finds a farmer who does not have good
libary of agricultural books and does
not even take agricultural papers, and
no one had more time to read and study.
Go into the doctors or lawyers Office
and you will find library costing from
five hundred to five thousand dollars or
more, and several medical or law jour-
nails. When a difficult case comes up
they ransack their libraries, going
through the books that treat of the par
ticular subject in hand and the Journals
Then they will call in fellow doctors or
lawyers. They do not propose to take
any chances that it lies within their
power to avoid. Does the farmer turn
to his library. to the agricultural papers
and to the experiment station bulletins
when he has a problem? A good many
do, but why not more of them? Wien
a crop is to be grown-the best that is
known on the growing of that crop
should be brought into play in preparing
the soil, in selecting the seed, in caring
for the crop. When stock is to be
raised the best knowledge available
should be used in selecting the stock,
in breeding them, in feeding them, in
caring for them, and in marketing them.
And so on with the different operations
on the farm. This is where the man
from the eyes up comes in, and remem-
Der that it is this kind of work that
pays.
The farmer should have library con-
tanning the latest agricultural books,
the experiment station bulletins and rhe
agricultural papers. This will bring
into his home the best that is known on
the different phases of farming. Cne
hundred dollars, or even S25 would make
a pretty good start. And If use was
made of it, its teachings applied to the
different farm operations, the returns
would be several times one hundred dol
lars greater each year than under the
hit and miss plan. What would be
even more of a Remuneration would be
the interest and satisfaction that comes
from work well done, from being master
of conditions, instead of slaves to them
We like to do what we can do well.
The farmer cannot afford to take
chances any more than the doctor or
the lawyer. 1t will be his own fault II
he does, as the Information is to be had
If he will simply work his brains.
