THE SCIENCE OF FARM MAN.
AGEMENT.

This is time of progress and
and development. Old methods
being revised and old or previous
" accepted facts are being ex-
amined and questioned as never
before. every man to his own
business, no longer means that
the knowledge Of others is to be
ignored by the successful husi-
ness man.
The successful business man,
whether he be farmer or mer-
chant, knows more Of his business
than any outsider can know; but
this is no longer interpreted to
mean that the successful business
man may not learn many usefu!
and profitable facts and princi-
Piles from the outsider who has
made thorough study Of large
number of business establish
ments and their methods.
In fact, there has been deyel-
Oped in recent years a new kind
Of business man. We now have
the experts in business methods.
Men are finding employment at
large salaries who go into bust
ness houses or concerns previous
ly unknown to them and after
making a thorough study OF the
bookkeeping, cost of production
and of selling and the general
methods employed in the estab-
lishment make recommendations
for their improvement.
When succ essful business men,
manufacturers, and financiers
recognize the value Of outside and
scientific knowledge applied to
their special lines of business, It
is indeed time the farmer began
to recognize and appreciate the
help which it is possible for him
to obtain from the scientific facts
and principles underlying his
methods and practice.
Accordingly there has sprung
up to meet this modern demand
a new department in agricultural
knowledge, known as farm man.

and the spring crop Of 1879 were
both below the average, and a
large portion OF each was destroy
ed by rats. The resulting scare
ity of food led to. the payment of
rewards for the destruction of the
pests, and over 12,0O0,0OO were
killed.
Migrations Ind Invasions.
Migrations Of rats have often
been recorded. The brown rat is
known in Europe quite generally
as the migratory rat. The Ger
mans call it the Wanderratte
Pallas narrates that in the au-
tumn in 1927 this species arrived
from the east at Astrakhan, south.
eastern Russia, in such great
numbers and SO suddenly that
nothing could be done to oppose
them. They crossed the V0lga in
immense troops. The cause OF
this general migration was attri-
buted to an earthquake; but since
similar movements of the same
species often occur without earth
quakes, it is probable that only
the food supply Of the animals
was involved in the migration
which first brought the brown
lat to Europe.
A seasonal movement of rats
from houses and barns to the
open fields take place in spring
when green and succulent plant
food is ready for them. The re-
turn movement takes place in the
autumn. This seasonal migra-
ton is noticeable even in large
cities. $50 liz
But more general movements
Of rats frequently occur. In
1908 a multitude of migrating
rats spread over several counties
in western Illinois. They were
noticed especially in Rock Island
and Mercer counties. For seve-
eral years previous no abnormal
numbers of the animals were
seen, and their coming was re-
markably sudden. An eyewitness
to the occurrence informed me
that as he was returning to his
home -ode moonlight night he
heard a general rustling in q
nearby field, and soon q great
army of rats crossed the road

It requires but little "figger-

entitled to the nomination, it
these figures are correct, that the
states which elected Taft in the
last presidential election cast
2,911, 1897 votes, and that at the
Chicago convention Roosevelt s
supporters cast 4,329,917 votes.
Golfers Weekly is responsible
for these figures. However, this
may not be the just and propec
