Farm Advice and Suggestion
SHARE FARMING AS 1T IS
PRACTICED IN AUSTRALIA.
eo.h Farmer and Tenant Find u Prot
table to Grow Good Crops sno
Conserve Fertility OF the SOL.

Share farming on the plan whereby
owner and tenant divide equally Ell
that is produced from land is the COM
monest arrangement in America Aus
tralian owners however. find ii better
TO follow a plan whereby the tenant
gets an increasing proportion Of all the
Weld above a certain amount That
puts a premium on careful farming.
Here is the agreement that applies
10 one great estate Of 5000 acres.
which is divided into thirty-one farms.
The land has been converted from use
less wilderness, and upon 1t the ten
ants have prospered.
The landowner provides land ready
for the pillow. seed wheat up to a bush
el an acre, half the bags. Irvine and
fertilizer.
The tenant provides machinery. la
Dor and the rest OF the seed. bags. etc.
Owner and farmer divide the crop
equally up 10 twenty bushels an acre.
The next five bushels an acre are given
entirely to the tenant as a bonus for n
good crop. and from twenty-five bush
els upward the yield is divided equal
~ again.
Thus from thirty bushel. an acre the
owner would get twelve and a half
and the tenant seventeen and a half.

ten out Of the first twenty plus FIVE

the last five.
on another large Australian estate
that is owned by a company the ten
ant gets everything he can raise above

point of following their tenants meth

A SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT
MUST CARRY A BIG STOCK.
He Who Goes In For Many Different
Kinds Of Lines Gets Great
est Margin Of Profits.

An editorial article in the A~gricultu-
raj Southwest. which uphOlds the gen
eral store In the smaller cities \
towns az against the specialized bust
ness. contains n hint for those who
would compete successfully with the
big mail order store that carries every
thing. from a hairpin 10 a portable
house. The editor writes:
One Of our eastern exchanges de-
votes a whole column of his valued pa
per to an article on the mistake that
the present day merchant IS making in
running a general store.
This article endeavors to show that
the old rule of mo two things can be
done at the same time and done right"
Using this old rule in bearing out his
argument that where any merchant
tries TO handle a multiplicity Of lines he
cannot make a success of any one, we
do not in the least doubt the sincerity
Of his belief. At one time In the not
distant past we Were OF the same opin-
ion. until we had u ideas changed by
first hand knowledge.
The most successful merchants with
the best conducted stores, bringing to
their owners the greatest margin OF
profit, are those who have diversified
lines. In fact, the merchant who sells
everything, from a needle to a traction
engine, is the one who broadens and
when the call of the big town reaches
him be is qualified TO go into the fight
against his longer established competi-
tor and get a share Of that business
which his all around knowledge has
taught him how to talk about and han

WS ness often keeps him late at

funds come in after bank
hours he carries them home with him.
A street ear line passes within a few
minutes walk Of his house. and In this
distance lies the only danger. He car
rles n revolver. but what use Is a
weapon when one is dropped by a rap
on the back Of his head?
Stout was one of a younger set OF
men in his suburb who were together
a great deal and constantly joking N
another. He talked to them about his
nocturnal trips home. his fear OF foot
pads and what he hoped TO accomplish
In case OF attack. One night when he
was passing a dimly lighted place be
tween the street car Ane and his house
he was seized from behind by both
arms, n hand was thrust In his pocket
and $500 in bills taken, together with
his revolver. so that when the robbers
ran away he had no weapon with
which to pursue them.
On reaching his house he found sew
eral of his friends. whom he excitedly
told of his adventure and his loss.
They sympathized with him deeply,
and while doing so two others OF the
set, Mark Hamlin and Ben Turner.
walked in. Stout was somewhat sur
prised TO find callers so late at night
1t was II o'clock-but. after all. there
was nothing remarkable i'm their visit.
After listening to his account of the
robbery and asking many questions.
Mark Hamlin handed him the pocket
book of which he had been robbed and
confessed himself the robber.
Then there was n general jollifica-
ton. Stout brought out drinkables and
cigars. and all agreed that a very anus
ing and practical joke had been played.
Some months after this Stout was
again on his way home at night, this
time with $1,000 in his pocket that had
come in late. when at the very same
spot as before he heard the order:
Hands up"
At the same time he felt the cold
muzzle of a gun near his ear and hands
relieving him Of everything he pos
sessed. Then the mar with the gun
said to him:
You walk around the block before
you 20 home and remember that you're
watched. Any attempt to use a tele-
phone for the next half hour will re-
suit in a hole in you"
Now, the threat was lost on MIR.
Stout. for he knew II had only haan
made as a bluff. The robbers would
not be likely to wait to see that he
completed his walk. Besides. the voice
that gave the order was very like that
of Mark Hamlin.
