A Wonderful Transition Takes
Place in The Work of Farmer

to make the greatest success on the
farm can readily see the advantages
of thoroughly preparing themselves
for their chosen line of work. They
must put forth just as great an effort
to obtain an education in agriculture
as they would put forth in taking up
the study of law, medicine or any 9th
err vocation.
Some one has said:
Farming offers excellent opportuni-
ties for young men and women who
wish to fit themselves for the complex
business Of successfully operating and
managing farm. The successful far
mer Of the future must understand the
principles of agriculture as we'll as the
best practice. He must be able to I'M
derstand and apply methods of perma-
nent soil improvement; selection, i'm
provement. management and sanitary
care Of live stock and poultry; produc-
ton of clean, wholesome milk and but
ter; planting and care of orchards,
small fruits and garden crops"
And it naturally follows that the
best source of such Information is the
Agricultural College and the Expert
ment Station. The success attained by
those who have taken up the Agricul-
tural college work Is sufficient rec
ommendation for it's value.
Wherever we find a farmer who has
had the proper training along the lines
of his chosen business-no matter
whether that training has been on the
farm or at college-we find him CIV
ing a good account Of himself. We find
him running his farm as though it
were a factory-which it is-and, in
order to obtain the maximum pro1ts
from his factory, he handles it accord
ing to the best methods of factory
management.
Every phase of the business of farm
ing should be given the same close at
tention that Is given the manumactur-
ing of binders, hay-loaders, manure
spreaders and gasoline engines by the
farm implement manufacturers.
1t Is true, of course, that farming
can stand a greater amount of waste
and careless managing that any other
business and yet yield profit; in fact
no other business could stand the
strain that the farm does. But, if we
may be permitted to prophesy, it will
not always be that way. and the soon
er the agriculturist shapes his busi-
ness methods to conform with econo-
my, the sooner will he be equipped to
meet this new farm cooperative idea
that is looming up in the middle dis
lance.
All farmers, Of course, are not en-
dowed with the same degree Of intelli-
gence, and it is out Of the question to
expect all of them to rush instanter
to every new idea that pops into ex-

If Santa Claus We're Poor.

I'll bet when Mister Santa Claus was
just d kid like me
He got his re9lar presents off req,
lar Christmas tree;
I'll bet he had a big, fine house to
stay in through a storm,
An shoes an overcoats and clo'es
that KEEP him good an warm;
Because, if he had been like me, |
know that he'd be sure
To make a visit every year to chill
dren that are poor.
If he could see our baby now that
never had no toys,
Perhaps he'd hold some presents
out on other little boys
That got so many every year, an
leave just one or two
To give the kid a chance to play
like babies do;
But I don't s'pose he'll do it, cause
he never knowed the way
Things are with kids whose Chris :
mas is like any other day.
That drum seen downtown today
l do not need SO bad,
An it's the same with other things
that | amt never had.
But gee! my little sister! it is tough
to hear her cry,
Because she cannot have no doll
an can't tell her why;
/ guess it's no use worryin', fer that
don't help at all,
Because this teller Santa Claus was
rich when he was small.
He never had to stand outside a
great big lighted store,
A kind of holdin' back the tears an
feeling mighty sore,
To see them guns an trains O cars
an thinkin' bout the fun
The other kids was going to have
while he was havin' none;
l wouldn't wish a man bad luck but
when I'm blue an cold,
/ wish that he was. poor like me
when he was nine years old.
