The Measure of a Man.

The place to take the true measure
OF man is not the market place nor
amen corners, nor field nor forum. but
at his own Preside There he laws
aside his mask and you may learn
whether he IS an imp or an angel,
king or cur, hero or humbug I do
not care copper what the world
says about him, whether it would
crown him with glory or pelt him with
bad eggs. do not care what his
religion may be. If his babies dread
his coming home and his wife swal-
lows her heart every time she has to
ask for a ivedollar bill, he is fraud
of the first water, even though he
prays night and morning until he is
black in the face and shouts hallelujah
until he shakes the hills. But if the
children run to the front gate to meet
him and loves own sunshine Ilumin-
ates the face of his wife when she
hears his footsteps, he is pure as gold
and his home is heaven. A humbug
never gets that near the throne of
God
He may be a rank atheist and
red-fag anarchist, and Mormon or
a mugwump; he may buy votes and
bet on elections, he may deal from
the bottom and drink beer until he
can't tell a dollar from circular saw,
but he is infinitely better than the
man who is all suavity, but makes his
home a hell-who vents on his help
less wife and children the i'll nature
he would like to infict on his fellow
man, but dares not.
I can forgive much in that fellow
mortal who had rather make men
swear than women weep; would rather
have the hate of the world than the
contempt of his wife; who had rather
call anger to the face of king than
fear to the face of a child.-The late
W. c. Brann, of The Iconoclast.

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.

That this is an era OF varying kinds

across the skies in his lighter than air
car, and it made pretty picture in
the afternoon heavens. At the corner
OF Anderson avenue and Dorincourt
road two boys on bicycles passed
along, and at that moment two auto
mobiles went whizzing by, just as
horse and buggy passed carriage and
two horses. Looking south in Ander-
son avenue there appeared a trolley
car, and coming north in the same
road were two men driving motor

porter, this made no less than seven

Market value Of
fertiliZing materials.

These figures mean that if man
after selling a bushel of wheat, would
buy enough commercial fertilizer to
restore to the farm the fertility he
sold in wheat, he would have to ex-
pend 26 cents, and for other crops,
the amounts indicated in the table.
A glance at the above figures is suf-
ficient to show the drain on the farm
from selling these products.
While there are several ways IN
which the WORKOUT lands may be re-
stored, everybody knows that the
first principle is to feed on the farm
as nearly as possible all of the crops
and to return the manure to the soil.
Live stock of all kinds are well adapt.
ed for this purpose. but the dairy
COW is especially adapted. When the
grains are all fed on the farm and the
manure properly applied, nearly all
OF the plant food removed by them
is returned to the soil. Then as a
rule more or less feed will be brought
onto a dairy farm, which represents
SO much gain in fertility. although
this is not necessary In Missouri in
most years. A ton of cottonseed meal,
for instance, which is one of the
cheapest dairy foods this winter.
brings onto the farm nearly as much
value as a fertilizer as it costs as
feed. When fed to cows. such mate
rial serves its purpose as feed. and
from Is to 80 per cent Of Its value as
a fertilizer is left in the manure pile
to be applied to the soil. Bran en-
riches the farm as much in one ton
as would nearly $13 worth of COM
mercial fertilizers bought in the mar
ket. Another reason why the selling
OF dairying products does not injure
the farm is that the product sold
takes almost nothing that Is valuable
as a plant food from the farm. A ton
of butter for example will bring at
twenty cents per pound $500. and
takes from the farm only about fifty
cents worth of plant food. A ton Of
cheese, worth about 5000. takes from
the farm only about $13 worth Of fer
tility. If the average farmer kept
from ten to twenty cows for milking
purposes, he would not raise less
crops, but more; his farm could be
made to gain In richness instead of
losing The seeding to clover and
grass Of worn lands and those sub
ject to washing. when cultivated.
would in a few years do much to In.
crease their richness.

Frisco Agricultural Scholarships.

The scholarships to the Winter
Short Course in the College of Agri-
culture of the University of Missouri
offeredby the Frisco railroad affords
an opportunity for some man or boy
in every one Of the forty-five counties
in this state through which this road
runs to secure four months work in
one of the best agricultural colleges
in America with no expense whatever.
The Frisco railroad offers to give
some man or boy in each of their
counties 500 in cash to use in defray-
ing his expenses while attending the
College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity. Why? Because the railroad
is interested in the improving agri-
cultural conditions in the territory
they serve and want more good
farmers along their lines. They know
that the winner of the scholarship
will not alone be benefited, but his
neighbors will profit by his example
when he comes home and puts into
practice some of the Things he has
learned at the Agricultural College.
Some one from Bates county is
going to win this scholarship. Why
not you? In order to determine who
shall have this scholarship, a corn
growing contest has been organized
and it will 60 to the man or boy liv-
ing in Bates county who shows the
best 10 ears of corn at the corn show
which will be held at Rich Hill, Oct.
%, 1911. Any man or boy between
the ages of 10 and 40 and resident
of this county is eligible. Any variety
of corn of any color may be shown.
Wouldn't you like to be better
farmer? Wouldn't you like to know
the best types Of farm animals and
how to feed and care for them in the
best way? Wouldn't you like to
know how to feed your dairy cows to
make them give the most milk?
Wouldn't you like to know how to
prune, spray and care for your Or
chard so as to make it yield the most?
Wouldn't you like to know how to
handle your soil to make it more
productive, to know what varities of
corn and wheat and other crops yield
best in your locality? In fact,
wouldn't you like to know how to be
a better farmer and how to organize
your farm so as to make it pay better?
The short course will tell you and the
Frisco railroad offers to give it to
you free.
Here is what two of the winners
of these scholarships last year said

DA|RY|NG ENR|CHEs SOIL
DRAIN ON FERTILITY BY GRAIN
CROPS.
BY c. H. Eckles, Professor Of Dairy
ing, University of Missouri.

One of the most important ques-
lions which sooner or later concerns
every farming community is that Of
keeping up the richness of the SOIL
When a rich, fertile soil, such as COW
ers large part of the Valley of the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers, Is
brought into cultivation, it produces
crops so abundantly that no thought
is given to the keeping up of this
fertility Sometimes it is hard to be-
lieve that such a soil can ever be
worn out. A country like this always
becomes a great grain raising region
and so continues as long as 1t is
found profitable.
1t takes nature thousands of years
to build up this soil which the farm
er often wears out in half life time
or less. Another conditions is at
work at the same time. While the
grain crops after a time become
smaller, the land as rule gradually
becomes more valuable, due to other
reasons. While the income should in.
crease per acre, it gradually de-
creases. This is exactly the condition
of thousands of the farms in these
valleys today. Their owners are liv'
ing under different conditions now
from twenty or thirty years ago,
while their methods of farming hace
not changed to correspond. Many
farms have lost much of their orig
inal richness, and the owners are now
confronted with a serious problem.
The writer has heard many Missouri
farmers state that one of the things
of most vital interest to them is how
to restore the fertility of their farms.
Most of them now know what has
brought their farms into this condi-
ton All farmers are aware that sell
ing grain is selling the valuable part
OF their farms another evidence that
the farms of Missouri are not what
they once were in point of fertility,
is the fact thal commercial fertiliz'
ers are coming into use in some
parts of the state, and were bought
to the amount of about 100000 last
year by Missouri farmers.
When the fertility of the farm is
reduced to point where it is neces-
sary to buy fertilizers to put upon
the land, the farmer will realize that
the plant food has market value
the same as other marketable prod
ucts. If he will endeavor to discover
where these valuable materials have
gone which his soil once had, he will
ind that frequently crops were sold
from the farm for little more and
sometimes even less than he now
pays for the elements Of fertility they
took away. The following table
shows the market value Of the plant
food or fertil;zing material in some
of the crops commonly sold off the
farm
