Farming With Goats

Tn another instance" continued the Secretary. Ian Arkansas farmer would not give his boy a horse to cultivate his acre. The boy paid to have the land plowed, and after that he did all his ch- tivating with a common. everyday goa.. Notwithstanding that he raised 5o bushels of corn to the acre. The department is full of such stories"
 That Is the kind of work that makes men Mir. Secretary said I.
 That is what told the boys who won the prize trips to Washington. The corn clubs of the south are making men. and the boys who belong to them will be among the best men Of the future. Wher n boy learns how to manage an acre and to count every cent that goes in and all that comes out as well as to make 1t pro duce as those boys are doing. he comes n,ishty near to learning how to manage a farm He learns how to work and how to save.

What to Do

From the National Monthly: young preacher had been sent out by the state mission board to hold evangelistc meetings in the mountains and at the first one he held he met Lin Dobbins, a tall lank, ustylooking in- dividual who imm ediately conceived d great liking for the preacher. and de- cided to let his crops go while he fol- lowed him. So everywhere the minister went. Lin went. too. and he always sat on tho front seat with one leg crossed over the other, his chin in his hand, his elbow resting on his knee, looking up at the preacher as if he were some kind of deity.
 The young preacher knew very little about the methods of the mountain farmers and their haphazard manner of scratching a living out of the rough hillsides so when he attempted to use illustrations which he fancied would appeal to their understanding, Lin al- ways became uneasy.
 Let me tell you,'' said the preacher one night, "of certain man who had a piece of ground The snows melted and tho ground lay moist beneath the rays of the early spring sunshine. The many voices of awakening life called to this man, but he needed them not. He failed to blow his ground in due sea- son; and even after the gentle rains came and the buds put forth, his lane still lay untouched. Seed time passed away the summer sun poured dowe upon the ground, and the weeds had grown up in rank profusion. The day of harvest was nigh at hand but he had sown nothing. At that late day. what was to be done?"
 He paused to give his words effect. and at this juncture. Lin, wao with dropped jaw and open mouth had taken all this in, suddenly threw LID his head. made speaking trumpet of his hand and exclaimed In a very audible stage whisper:
 Put her in buckwheat.'

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 Down in Benton county, Arkansas, last year, a 15-year-old boy raised 50 bushels of corn on an acre of dry, inty hillside. He plowed the ground with small blow which he manufactured himself out of discarded scrap iron al a country black smith shop. Incidentally, the motive power of the blow was billy goat
 This boy did not belong to any corn. club and did not use any scientific meth l. ods of cultivating his land, but he grew more corn on his acre of rough ground than many of the nearby farmers who used up-to-date implements and who prlded themselves on their corn growing ability. The boy explained his crop to his astonished neighbors al harvest time by saying that he had continually worked bis corn. The state commissioner of agriculture heard of his accomplishment ant this year has supplied him with tha best seed corn to be obtained The boy Is going after a record of 100 bushels to tho acre and he probably will make it if the goat holds out The commissioner of agriculture offered to furnish him with a horse or mule but the offer was de- clined with thanks and the blow is being operated by goat power as heretofore If this years crop amo.nts 10 as much as that of last year the boy is to be taken to the Arkansas fair to display his uueev farming outfit along with samples of his crop.
 The achievement of this mountain boy and his goat should be worth good deal to the farmers of Arkansas in the way of an object lesson. It is in no way an example of progressive agriculture, but 1t is a testimonial to the importance of sticking to the job. It shows that en- ergy and perseverance can work won ders even in the absence of ordinary fa- cilties and modern means of operation.

from Lo0isiana, raised almost 14o bushels at a cost of 13 cents, and he sold his crop at S3 bushel for seed. That boy has put in five acres this year, and he expects to get 5c0 bushels of corn rom them. He is going to the high school, and the thou sand dollars he thinks this years crop will net him is to be used to pay for his college education.
 BashfulIra and President Taft
 Speaking of making men of the boys, continued the Secretary, 1T can think of nothing more educational. This work de- velops their self-reliance and encourages them to think and act for themselves. Take another of the prize winners little Ira Smith of Arkansas He was so basn- ful when the demonstrator of the Agri- cultural Department visited his father that he would not speak 10 him. He could not be persuaded to talk and ran out of the house. Nevertheless, the boy, after having raised 1l9 bushels on h,s acre at a cost of cents bushel talked with President Taft here at Washington and was not afraid. When the boys

from beyond the Mississippi river. When he reached here he looked rather tired. One of our men asked him what kind of trip he had had and whether he hau slept well on the cars. He replied, Not very we'll And upon further questioning said that he had sat up all the way. Said he: A sleeping car would have cost me s5, and that is a lot of money to me He was asked as to his meals. and he salt he had gone Into the diner. but that they wanted to charge him dollar for dinner, and so he waited until he got to Memphis, and there got some apples, popcorn and bread. and that was enough until ne reached Washington. Another boy went to Pittsburg and in the restaurant at the depot was asked to pay 10 cents for cup of coffee. He was mortified and, that is the last coffee he drank during the trip.
 Joe Stone of Georgia, who is only F years of age, had to pay one-third of his crop to the landlord of whom his father rented the farm. He raised 10c bushels, at a cost of 20 cents
 "Another boy named Henry. who came

called at the White House the President tackled Ira Smith first, saying:
 '' Now tell me the truth, my boy, didn't you pick out the best acre on youi fathers place for that corn?
 No replied little Ira. My acre was just like the rest
 And do you expect to try it again?' said the President.
 "'Yes do I have already selected my acre and hope to raise more corn next year than raised this
 But it is not the effect that the work has on the boys alone that should be con- sdered,' said the Secretary. Every one of the thousands of boys who are working that way represents family and it's neighbors and in this movement we are educating whole communities and whole states We are revolutionizing the work of the farmer of the south, and the changes now going on will make that section one of the richest and most stable parts of the country. The south is just at the edge of its beginning and its growth in wealth from now on will he

Business to Be Proud of

From Mack's National Monthly.
 "A business man of Chicago had mar ried a policeman daughter. As he be- came rich. both he and hls wife spoke less frequently of the fact the father had been policeman. Not that they were ashamed of it. but it was just as well not to mention 1t too often.
 One day Mrs. Dahl had luncheon at which there were many well known so- eiety women. The conversation drifted to the subject of their fathers business. After everyone else had told how her father had made his money a guest asked
 And now, Mrs. Dahl, what was your fathers business?'

The Meanest Man in the South
 Take. for instance, the case of one bright southern boy the Secretary of Agriculture continued. His father had no faith in what he called book farming and, besides. he was almost as mean as they make them. His boy had asked for the use of an acre, and the father refused telling him he would not have anything to do with such foolishness. The boy per- sisted, however, and the father finally pointed to a rough hillside over-grown with brush and spotted with stumps and stones, and told him if he would grub that acre and move off the stones he could have 1t. The boy went to work and finally cleared it.. Then the old man said: That acre is too good for me to lose. think l will plant it myself. The boy cried and the father finally said: Wen, If you will clear another acre beside that I won't take 1t from you, and you may plant it and do what you please fherc- upon the boy again went to work and cleared the second acre. He planted it 10 corn after our directions, and as result he made 8S bushels At the same time his father planted and cultivated the acre adjoining. using the old way. He made just IS. Since then the old man has been converted to our way of farming. He goes with his boy to the agricultural fairs and tells about the ss bushels of corn they raised on an acre.. saving: That Is what me and my boy done
