Farmers Wanted.

Wanted, ten thousand men and
boys from fifteen to thirty years
of age who have had at least five
years of practical experience as
actual workers on the farm
tillers of the soil who would
like to know a great deal more
about making life on the farm
happy, prosperous and profitable
than they now know; who want
to know how to keep balanced
ration in the soil; how to pre-
pare the land to act as reser-
voir TO absorb the rain as it falls.
and how to conserve il when the
season is once in the ground how
to select seed, how to cultivate;
how to harvest and how to mar
|ket the crops to the best advan-
tage, now to manage a farm on
business basis; how to farm sci
entitically.
Men and boys are needed who
believe that it is better to learn
from the experience of others
how to avoid mistakes rather
than to suffer by making them;
who want TO learn how to raise
from fifty to one hundred bush
els Of corn instead Of from fif
teen TO twenty five, or fifty bush.
els of wheat, or three hundred
bushels of potatoes, and other
things in proportion, whereherc
tofore less than one'fourth of
these crops has been the rule;
who want 60 know how to raise
fruit Of every kind probably;
how to make a kitchen garden
actually support the family; how
20 raise stock and poultry of
every kind so that the farmer
will live better than king and
live almost entirely upon the pro
ducts Of his own farm, and ut
the same time know how to con
serve the vital forces Of the
earth so that the land will grow
richer and more productive
rather than poorer and less
fruitful every year.
We want these men and boys
to attend the Agricultural and
Mechanical College at College
Station, or not being able to do
this. to take the correspondence
course of the extension depart
ment of the a. 4 M. College Of
the University Of Texas at Aus
tin, SO that they may become
scientific farmers, which simply
means that they may understand
what they are doing, and why
they are doing it and what the
results Of their work should be;
that they may be successful
home builders on farms of their
own or be ready TO take charge
of and properly conduct farms
for the thousands Of land own
owners who are anqiously look
ing for well informed, practical,
scientific men who can success
fully operate their farms at sala
ries ranging from $500 to 5000
per year.
Young farmers, fit yourselves
for these higher duties and bet
ter results; there is always room
at the top; the world cries aloud
more vociferously now than
ever before for every truly com
petent man. Henry Exall,

teen. southwest of Vivian, about
500 feet from the famous Harriet
Seven, came, in a month ago a
dry grasser and about ten days
ago began making thirty barrels
of oil, and today it was opened
up to it's full capacity and is bet
ter than 3, 800 barrels a day.
This has caused lots Of activity
in this section and a number
of new locations will be made at
once.

Of the tallest rigs in the field, is
down about 300 feet and it is eX-
pected to make the fastest time
Of any rig in the field, on account
of being able to come out in fours
instead Of threeS as they do on
smaller rigs.
This month and October will
be the banner months in the vi.
Wan field, and with the increased
pipe line facilities, the present
production will be increased
about 20 per cent and this will
give Vivian the bulk of the pro.
duction of the Caddo oil and gas

from Wisconsin BY an American
millionaire named Mcmillan, who
has a 2O,OOo-acrc ranch near Mai

other planters have imported them
and they are now the most com

In Rhodesia many Illinois plows

mowers and reapers. The Cana
dams are competing with us as to
harvesting machinery, and small
farm tools are being now shipped
to South Africa from England

The American windmill is III Use
almost everywhere. The most Of
southern Africa is high and dry,
and pumps are needed for irriga

the mills come from Chicago. but
some are from Indiana and else

Cape Colony is rapidly becoming
a fruit-growing country, and II

Of buttermilk cheese.
Buttermilk from rich cream, con
tanning 50 per cent or more fat. as
we'll as butter1nilk from cream
which was pasteurized when very
sour, IS not suitable for making
buttermilk cheese. The curd from
such buttermil is always so fine
graine that it runs through the
draining cloth and is lost.
The food value OF buttermiIk
cheese is high, when its low cost
is considered. 1t is very palatable
when eaten alone like cottage
cheese, seasoned with salt pepper,
paprika. or when used in salads.
On account Of the smooth texture
Of this cheese it can be spread like
butter on bread and made into
sandwiches. Because Of its fine
buttermilk flavor it IS generally
preferred to cottage cheese BY con-
sumers-J. /. Samnlis.
