FARMERS SPLENDID FIGHT
THROUGH FAILURE TO SUCCESS

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside Herbert Quick, the editor Of
that periodical, writes an interesting
editorial showing how progress places
9 great Strain on people. lie tells the
following story:
II Know a young man who lived in
a city until he had graduated from an
agricultural college, He worked on
farms in vacations, and he did every
thing that, a city man can do to learn
farming practically as we'll as theo-
retically.I " But he had not had The ad-
vantage the farm hoy possesses fof
driving a team year after year and
listening 10 the discussion Of farm
problems about The hearth in the farm
home while a child. He went on
large farm as, tenant. Three hundred
acres Of land to be plowed, put into
crops, tended and harvested | visited
him about the first Of July of his first
summer. Things looked badly He
had made lot OF mistakes that an Old
farmer would never have made. u.
~ thought said he when | talked
to him OF the situation, that / knew p
| great deal more about farming than
the neighbOrs about here, but I'm max,
ing up my mind that would be
hundreds Of dollars better off this year
lif | knew as much as the 15-year-Old
| boys Of the neighborhood. Itll take me
years to learn the things that are sec
, ond nature to them.
did he fail? BY no means. He
stuck to The farm, and is now success
full. He caught up in his knack Of do
| ing things. Gradually he pulled aheaI
Of his ncighbors. After a while the art
OF doing things began to Cooperate
lWith the scientific truths he had mas
tered. and money began to come into
his til, and recognition from his neigh
hors as The best farmer Of them an
was no small part Of his reward.
! Now suppose thai one Of those Old
| farmers had been his father and tie
owner Of the farm The strain Of pro
gress would have been still more s.

10 make his mistakes and suffer By
them. but Dad might have refused

methods are not so good as the otd.
Thus he viii relieve the strain Of pro-

TERMS ON WHICH WATER STOCK
Of No. ) IS GIVEN FOR TEAM WORK

n
Brawley News: Finding attempts to
induce land claimants to purchase wa
ter stock in advance Of the compile
ton Of The canal system useless, and
reluctant to trade wateE stock TO con-
tractors for the work. The directors OF
imperial Water Company No. have
adopted extraordinary measures IN
dealing with the situation. Water stock
IS being exchanged for team work on

admitted to these terms being the land
claimants whose land lies under that

President Anderson is very much
fleased over the prospects for com

delayed in an eNaSperating manner.
Whlle the Walker Construction Com
pany is progressing rapidly on its con-
tract for the first live miles Of the

additional construction has been hamp-
cred through the lack Of sufficient
funds. and the construction company
was compelled to begin its contract

Monday Sickness Amonq Horses

In the current issue Of Farm and
inflamation Of the lymphatic vessels in
horses, troublesome aiImcnt that gen
orally attacks the victim or Monday
morning. Following is an extract:
at comes from overlooking with rich
feed during times or idleness. The
horse that has been perfectly well dur
ing the work days Of the week and on
Saturday night is, on Sunday or some
holiday, given his usual feed Of corn
and oats and hay, but is not taken oui
for exercise. On work days the nutrl-
ments Of the ration are used up III
labor They 90 to repair waste tissues,
generate force and heat the body Dur
ing idIeness sweating ceases, and the
muscles are not exercised: maximum
nutrition, therefore, is unnecessary.
The surplus usually utilized by COM
bustion during exercise oveloads the
lymphatics during idleness, and they
become distended, inflamed and painful
When this occurs, a high fever results,
and the horse stops eating, preathes
fast, and may sweat profusely: one
hind leg commences to swell in the re
giOn Of the groin, and if the inner sur
face of the leg is handled, such pain
is caused that the horse lifts the leg
and shows every symptom Of intense
suffering. He is found in this condi-
ton on Monday morning, after the Sun
days rest, hence the popular name Of
the disease. Gradually the swelling
descends until the entire leg is i'm
mensely enlarged, and such is the
pressure Of the serum diStending the
tissues That it may OOze through the
skin. One attack subjects the horse
to the likelihood Of successive attack,
brought on in like manner to the frs!
After several attacks The leg remains
permanently enlarged, particularly III
the region Of The fetlock, and this con
ditiOn is termed 'eIephantiasis' or .elp
phant leg No horse need suffer So
No horse ever should stand single
day idle in The stable. ..

Things are being said now
similar to the things that were
