The Editors S Advantage.

Did you ever stop to think of how
many more whacks the editor gets at
his victim that any other business man
in town does. With the editor the
whacking process lasts from the cradle
II the grave. When a person is born,
even before the preacher gets a chance
to baptiZe him, the editor has con-
graduated the happy parents and has
specified in extravaGant pnrases the
weight, sex and pedigree of the new
arrival. At the christening the editor
often manages 10 squeeze out a per-
sOnal item of interest to his readers
which is far better than the preacher
can do, for he has to charge up his la
bors to the Lord. who is far harder to
get cash out of even than subscriber.
When the victim graduates from the
town High School the editor generally
expects to reap about 4 column of good
reading matter and often prints a pic
ture. Then if the victim gets married.
the preacher gets five dollars and the
editor gets twenty-five dollars worth
of surprise for mis- readers. When Mr.
Victim gets sick the doctor gets faint
chance of some day collecting a bill
against him, but the editor has some
cash news every day, telling the pa
TENTS ''many friends how he is get
ting along. And then if he dies, the
editor gets the most valuable news of
all. Not that he is ever glad of the
misfortune, but the news is worth
money to him just the same. Maybe
the undertaken gets little more than
the editor, but it is the only chance he
has had at the victim during his whole
career, while the editor has been pull

know there Is more clear profit in one
crop at IA cents, than there is in three
crops at 8, or even 9 cents, for we
firmly believe that these figures mean
an actual loss to both tenants and
landlords.
We have faith in the good sense and
patriotism of the people, and make an
earnest appeal for due and careful
consideration of this question.
We also realize that the WORK must
be done speedily in order to thwart
our enemies, who, if this movement
grows in popular favor, will again
send their agents into the field to pay
handsome prices to favored few, and
thus lull the majority into a hopeful
but false confidence that thy too, will
get this good price
In order to arrive at the will of the
people, we urge the people of each
county to hold mass conventions on
Saturday, October II, and that they
select delegates to attend the LeXing-
ton convention on Wednesday, October
10th.
If the movement does not gather
sufficient strength by this date to in
dicate that successful fight can be

VALUE OF THE LITTLE BIRDS
They Labor lncessantIy In Fields, De-
stroying Many Injurious and
Destructive Insects.

The birds are the best friends that
the farmer has. Why? Because they
labor daily in the farmers fields. de-
stroying the insects that destroy or
feed upon the tender plants of the
fields. Have you a friend that will
labor In your fields daily destroying
these insects just for his board and
clothing? No, indeed; you cannot
place your eye upon but one friend
that will do this for you. That is
the little birds which are being slaugh-
tered by you in large numbers. Why
do you not try to protect these friends
who are so faithful to you, when they
ask you for no pay for services rem
dered you in your fields, destroying
Insects that injure your plants, simply
because you have not stopped to think
over the matter as you ought to. Do
you not realize that they are worth
hundreds of times more to you as in
sect destroyers than their flesh is
worth to you in a bird pie or in some
other way?
Farmers, 1t Is time to wake up to
the fact that these little bird friends
must have better protection. Why?
Because they are needed more and
more every year. AS people increase
and the clearing of more lands in
creases, the insects are bound to in
crease very rapidly, because they feed
mostly from the farmers fields. AS
Insects increase, why should not the
birds increase also? Simply because
they haven't had the protection that
they ought to have had. Some of
the species of birds that used to be
found in large numbers are now very
seldom found at all, simply because
they have not received any mercy
from the hunter, and because the
laws are not strict enough on this one
special thing.
Every farmer should feel it bis duty
| to urge his lawmaker to do all in his
power to pass a law that would give
his little friends in feathers better
protection. A law should be passed
in states having no such law, prohibit.

FARMNOTES

Rush the plowing.
Prepare for the fall rains.
The onion thrips is bad pest.
Slack fence wire is slack farming.
Rhubarb is an easy crop to grow.
The crop of potato bugs was light
this year.
Potatoes infested with rot are a
poor holding proposition.
Joint grass may be killed out in the
beet fields by clean cultivation.
AS a rule, we do not make as good
use of our pasture lands as We might.
1t is important that an alfalfa field
where seed is grown be free of weeds.
1t will pay to batten the cracks in
the barn before coming of cold
weather.
The state and county agricultural
fairs are of value to every farmer in
the country.
If the pasture is not available, silage
or a good soiling crop will be abso-
lutely indispensable.
Before you fiji your stave silo it
should be painted on the inside with
coal tar thinned with gasoline.
Improvement in the quality and con-
dition of wheat is not the only benefit
derived from stacking the crop.
Farmers who do not have silos
should not let a large percentage of
the corn crops value go to waste.
The potato digger works best in a
loose, mellow soil and the ground
should be free Of stone and stumps.
is usually done with an ordinary
mower, which may or may not have

One of the first things the farmer

stalls and cutters and the use OF
enough bedding to absorb all the

He had never seen a turtle before

bleeding he gazed at it ruefully. then

Rreakinu the Colt.

The earlier the colt is made used
to the harness, the better broken the
animal will be, when it comes time
for him to do some light work. 1t is
easier to keep colts from learning
bad tricks than to break them Of
such habits. For that reason have
every strap and rope used by the
colts so strong that there is no dan
ger of a break. Once colt finds
out that he can get away from
halter or other parts Of the harness
there will be trouble, perhaps for all
time.

British Cows Which Eat Fish.

The fish, which is of the cod type, is

ample supply of rich milk. The dried
fish is not cooked before being eaten;
it is merely laid ~on stones and then
