DUTCH ARE FRIENDLY.

Remember important Part Played
by Their Forefathers in the
New World.

The Hague, Holland-Recently, in
a letter from Scotland l read that
Americans are unpopular in Europe"
AS far as Holland is concerned / can
not protest strongly enough against
this statement. On the contrary, there
is no foreign nation as popular in the
Netherlands as America and there is
no individual of any other nationality
so well liked as the American.
The Dutch consider the Americans
akin to themselves. They cannot for
get that some of the eastern states
were once known as New Netherland
and that New York was first named
New Amsterdam; that many of the
leading Dutch families helped to col
onize America; that most Dutch fam
lily names survive in some form or
other on the other side of the Allan
tic. There is scarcely family that
has not "a cousin in America" and the
American uncle" Is unreservedly pop
ular among all his relatives in Holland

The eyes of many weary worker in
Holland turn with longing toward
America, that land Of fabulous wealth
in the same way that the Germans,
during Hollands golden age, used to
dream of Amsterdam, that city paved
with gold. But, wiser than the German
dreamer of old, the Hollander knows
that gold is not to be picked up in
the streets of the new world by the
iGlers, but must be gained by honest
toll The sons of many a Dutch far
mer have found work and land and a
permanent home in America, and
when they return occasionally to visit
the scenes of their childhood, these
tell of the wondrous, progressive, en-
ergetic race across the sea, that is
party of their own blood, and so they
widen the circle of sympathy for
America, and the Americans. No one
who has seen how one private Amer

PRACTICAL TESTS
IN NEW FARMING
Missouri Station Making Coop
erative Experiments With
Farmers of That State.

The Missouri experiment station is
making cooperative experiments with
the farmers in 105 of the ia counties
of the state. These cooperative eX-
periments are conducted for the pur,
pose of determining the best methods
of soil tlage, varieties of farm crops,
methods of fruit production, profitable
dairy farms and the organization and
administration of farm enterprises.
In 1911. there were 366 men in 1O5
counties cooperating with the central
Experiment Station of Columbia in eX-
periments to determine the best meth
ods of farming. In carrying on this
work. 1000 packages of seed and more
than 10000 pounds of fertilizer were
used.
These cooperative experiments have
already demonstrated that alfalfa
can be successfully grown in every
county of the state.
The horticulture Investigations in
eight diffeernt districts have shown
that by proper fertilization of or
chards and timely spraying, the profits
from orcharding in Missouri may be
greatly increased.
The dairy farm co-operators on sew
en- farms in southwest Missouri have,
under the direction of the dairy de-
partment, increased their profits in
some cases more than 20 per cent.
The assistance given to farmers by
the department of farm management
IN the organization and administra-
ton have accomplished in some cases
extraordinary results i'll increasing
Yields. Soma of the owners of farms
cooperating in this work have made
the following statements in reference
to the value Of this work on their in
dividual farms
l. The yieid has been increased
at least four fold; corn from 10 to 40
bushels per acre"
2. THE financial side of my farm
ing has been helped from three to five
hundred dollars.
3. "The financial side has been
helped $1,000 this year"
4 The returns from my farm this
wear have been at least $1,5OO more
than they we're before"
8. Farm management has been
the cause of my remaining on the
farm. Il put my farm on business
basis restored confidence in my worn
out farm. greatly increased the fertil-
ity of the farm. 1t has also lightened
the labor of myself and family, en-

PROPER SYSTEM
OF BOOKKEEPING
Value of Farmer Keeping ECcounl
of Farm Management Same
as Business Man.

Farmers Bulletin 511 of the Depart
ment of Agriculture contains some in-
teresting facts and recommendations
in connection with bookkeeping ON the
farm. That there are over six mil
lion farms in the country which util-
ize land, labor, and capital as means
of income making" gives the author,
the opportunity to discuss the subject
of the value of the farmer keeping an
accurate and systematic account of his
farm management the same as the
business man or the railroad mag
nate.
This bulletin is not an attempt to
outline a system Of bookkeeping for
the farmer. 1t is rather a discussion
Of the principles which are applicable
to accounts on the farm. 1t is be-
lieved that any farmer who studies
this bulletin sufficiently to grasp these
principles will be able to devise a sys-
TEN suited to his particular needs.
Two important points must be con
sidered in an attempt at farm book
keeping. What does it cost to pro-
duce farm products? BY selling at
market prices, what profit is made ON
them?
The problem of the farmer is to
meet conditions on his own farm in
a way which will give him the greatest
net returns for his labor and the use
of his capital. He should receive in
terest on his capital as well as wages
for his labor, but owing to the lack OF
proper records few farmers know
what wages they actually receive.
There is reason to believe that the ma
jority of farmers are really living on
the interest of their investments rath-
er than on the profits of their farms"
These suggestions are offered:
Q) Consider as one unit all that
may be termed real estate, as land,
farm buildings. fences, bitches, etc,
whether the farm is rented or owned
by the operator
(2) DO not consider that the far
mer or his family receive anything for
their labor unless they are paid in
cash the same as hired labor. If there
is a surplus at the end of the year, it
is their compensation. In this way
the accounts will not be confused with
items not strictly cash.
(3) Farm products used by the
household should not be credited to
the farm in the cash account along
with the products sold, but should be
taken care of separately"

Stretching II Some.

Two men were boasting about their
rich kin Said one: My father has
big farm in Connecticut. 1t is so big
that when he goes to the barn on
Monday morning to milk the cows he
kisses us all goodbye, and he doesn't
get back till the following Saturday.
why does it take him SO long"
the other asked
Because the barn is so far away
from the house"
We'll, that may be a pretty big
farm, but compared to my fathers
farm in Pennsylvania your fathers
farm amt no bigger than city lot!
Why. how big is your fathers
farm?"
We'll. it's SO big that my father
sends young married couples out to
the barn to milk the cows, and the
milk is brought back by their grand
children"

Lot of Money Well Spent.

Arthur Blanchard, who spends much
of his time travelling over the coun-
try for the government, was seated
behind bride and groom in a Pull
man car one afternoon when the train
went through a long tunnel. As il
emerged into the light of day the
bride was grabbing desperately at her
hat and fighting three fast rounds
with one or two hairpins which had
become loosened.
In order to relieve the situation and
inject some harmless conversation
into the gap, Blanchard remarked:
This tunnel cost $l2000,000,"

Her Name Was Not Polly Ticks.

During the late campaign an Illinois
candidate for the Legislature was driv.
ing through the country, seeking votes
among the farmers, when he met a
young man in farmers garb, walking
by the roadside.
Having in mind a prospective vote
he stopped his horse. and saluting him
in familiar manner, inquired:
"Are you paying any attention to
politics nowadays?"
The young man stopped, looked at
him suspiciously, and drawled out:
mo, stranger; that don't happen to
be my gals name; but eff it was,
wouldn't think it was any Of your

Guilty and to hear his opinion about
Holland. AS a rule, Dutch people trav-
cling and staying in hotels hold them
selves stiffiy aloof from others but not
from the American. These are priv

much of, for there is something genial
about them that seem to attract the
less demonstrative nature of the Hol-

newspaper correspondents are popu-

leagues of other nationalities, and even
to the Dutch press itself. Perhaps
the last is the strongest proof of any
of Americas popularity.
