Water the Horses

This is the time of the year when the
horses, the motive power of the farm,
suffer most. You wouldn t get the hired
man to follow the binder long if jug
of cool water was not on hand frequent
ly-why expect the horses to go in front
of the binder for five or six hours with
out drink? You say you have no wat
er in the field. Then take some with
you. Get clean barrel or two. Put
them in a wagon or truck, fill with
water and haul to the harvest field each
morning and noon. Take pail along
and water the horses every time you
stop to oil up, and don't go too long
between oilings. Even if you give them
only half gallon apiece it will greatly
refresh them. The writer would just
as soon attempt to cut harvest with
out Irvine as to cut harvest without
barrel of water in the field for the
horses. Demonstration Farm Bulletin.

The Town Manager

Much has been said of the Des Moines
plan and the Galveston plan and of other
plans for city government-which center
about the new commission idea which
is working such changes in the manage
ment of municipalities.
But Sumpter, S. c., will go all the
new-fangled city governments one
better and place its affairs in the hands
of a general manager.
Like a great corporation, Sumpter
has decided that it's business can be
managed much more successfully under
the direction of general official-en-
trusted with the absolute power to
run affairs as president runs the
business of any corporation.
South Carolina passed a law which
makes it possible for cities to name
managers and adopt city manager
form of government. On Aug. 13 it
will elect new mayor and two COM
missioners, who will in turn name the
city manager. He may be local man
or he may be imported if salts
factory man cannot be found in Sumpt-

Creamery Is Closed

Driscoll, Aug. 5.-No it wasn't Teddy,
Bobbie or Bill who hit our little burg
Saturday afternoon. It was only q
meeting of the Driscoll Creamery COM
pany.
The ..progressives" (?) were there
with their usual brand of picks and the
good old stalwarts were there with the
stone fence. 1t seems that there has
been some dissatisfaction among the
progressive" because the. manager
used the wholesome product of his own
manufacture for his family use.
AS result of the meeting our town
is without creamery: Hon. A. H.
DeGroff made a motion to close the
creamery until they could find butter
maker whose family didn't eat butter
and enough voted aye to carry the vote.
The consequence is that most Of our
real progressive farmers are-wa,l'lering
the streets here today with an express

Political Trimmers

This year on account of political COM
plications, the trimmers in politics are
being shown up. There is an "afraid-
of-the-cars" attachment to very large
number of republicans, who are dodg--
ing on the presidential and other ques-
tions. Over in Minnesota a lot of
politicians in the republican ranks
didn't know where they were at on the
presidency, but now they believe they
have discovered a Roosevelt band
wagon in that state and are declaring
for him. Some We're for Taft but are
weakening because it appears that to
be taken, and while some republicans
over there came out for the democratic
nominee, Wilson, being really sick of
the Taft Roosevelt mix up, now that it
looks as though Roosevelt might carry
that state they are out for him.
The people should keep close check
on all of the political dodgers and make
a check list for the future. Dodgers
are not good governmental timber and
should be cashiered and discharged. A
public man should certainly have con-
victions, and should not be afraid to
state them. If he is afraid to state
his views until he has tried out public
sentiment, he should not be given pub
lie support.
The people should smoke out the
politicians and should in every case
where an opportunity presents itself
substitute men of determination and
conviction, in place of the political
dodger. Men are wanted as leaders,
and not towards. Searchlight.

tauqua Assembly had good meeting
at their Energy park grounds during
the past week, Sunday being the last
day of the assembly. This was the AS
sociation's first attempt at introducing
Chautauqua entertainment to the Slope
people and difficulties and disappoint-
ments were encountered by those hav-
ing the arrangements and management
in charge. Much Of the success of the
meeting should be credited to the in
defatigabiiity of Brother Stanley Of the
Energy Sun, and all have pleasant and
complimentary remarks for him and
Energy's first Industrial and Chau-
tauqua Assembly. The Energy park
is one of the many pleasant spots along
the Missouri river that is specially
adapted as gathering place for people
from the villages and the prairies, and
these outings and gatherings will grow
in popularity.
The general arrangements were very
good, the assembly providing tents and
other accommodations at very reason
able prices and speaking, music and
entertainment were provided each day
of the meeting. Among the speakers
were DR.. B. F. Kroeze, president of
Jamestown College; Rev. Sulzer;
Engineer Webster, of Minneapolis;
Warden Hellstrom of the state peni.
Tertiary; Thomas Cooper, of the Better
Farming movement; Prof. Shepherd, of

WILL SuSu WotSA AopAuAy 0AAA SAAAAAS-J'
A number of grain farmers from
different sections of the American
Northwest have given their experiences
in cutting and stacking grain. Ora
Pinney of LeSueur county, Mimi, says:
81 prefer cutting all small grain in the
hard dough stage. Whether conditions
are usually such that some of the grain
gets dead ripe before l get through. l
like to cut as much as can little on
the green side, as it gives better
color and does not shatter so badly.
We cap all shocks, as they are better
protected from the weather. This
helps to retain the bright color that
get from cutting before dead ripe. l
always stack my grain and begin stack
ing as soon as finish cutting. I con-
slider small stacks best. Four or five
loads to the stack is an average. This
makes an easier job of stacking and it
is less work at threshing time. find
that ofttimes rain interferes at thresh-
ing time and less danger of open stacks
is experienced. In building this kind
of round stack, I begin by building
shock and keep adding to it until the
proper size. Then l begin the outside
layer and work the middle, tapping
about half the length of bundle each
round. By the time get Z or 8 feet
high, have quite bulge all around
the stack. I then begin to draw in un-
til l get to the point where stick and
cap sheaf finish the job. l do all the
stacking with a fork and keep off the
outside row of bundles. AS soon as the
grain is dry enough to put in the bins
l have my threshing done. The chief
grain crop here is oats, and the straw
is very carefully stacked and used fol
feed and bedding for the live stock
during the winter.
Even so far north as North Dakota
it is found profitable to cap the grain
S. T. Cole of Ransom county, N. D.
says: 81 prefer to have all grain cu1
while a trit1e on the green side ant
shocked in round shocks and we'll cap
ped. l cannot always do this for lacl
of time and help. Whenever it is pos
sible thresh from the shock. The
grain is allowed to stand in shocks fo
few days if good drying weather is a
hand and then threshed. In case
stack generally build a medium size'
round stack. l find this is the mos
convenient from labor-saving stand
point. If the weather is favorable th'
grain will be threshed week or Il
days after it is stacked; the straw i
stacked as best 1 can with q blowe
and is used for feed and bedding

Why They Leave the Farm

We may as we'll face the true sit
uation. The boys and girls leave the
farms for good and sufficient reasons
and they will! continue to go to the cities
so long as conditions remain as at pres
ent. Money is not the root of all evil,
although the undue love of it is un-
doubtedly responsible for many of our
troubles. On the other hand, more
money-a greater earning capacity-is
essential if the boys are to be kept on
the farms. Indeed, unless the boys who
are now going to the cities could earn
more than the average of those who
have remained on the farms we are not
sure that, in justice to the individual,
they should be encouraged to leave the
farms. But whether they be encourag-
ed or discouraged, unless they can be
equipped for more efficient service a
large proportion will continue to go to
the cities.
knowledge is power-more truly so
today than ever before. Pick out a
man in any line of human endeavor who
has made sufficient success to raise
him above the common average busi-
ness which is responsible for his sue
cess. No man wins success today on
his own efforts and experience. He
must by education, reading and study
add to his resources, the knowledge ac-
cumulated by others during the present
and past ages.
If the boys who are to stay on the
farms are to win success which will
make the farm attractive to those who
are now going to the cities, they must
be educated to their business just as
the boys who have left the farms have
been educated for lawyers, doctors,
merchants, teachers and preachers.
This has not been true in the past.
| They have not had an equal education
either in quality or quantity, and until
J the boy who stays on the farm is given
as good chance to win success as
good an education in his business-as
those who go to the cities, the exodus
from the country will continue. We
have proclaimed the imaginary advan-
tages of the country long enough to
prove that this method of attempting
to change matters is a failure. Now
| let us make the chances of farm boy
for success equal to those we have CIV
en- the boys that have left the farms,
and our efforts will be more successful.
Is it impossible now to give the
| farmer as good an education for his
business as we now give lawyer or
| doctor? We believe it is now impossi-
to do SO, taking the farm boys as 9
whole. Farming education is not old
or 80 well established. Our common
schools and our agricultural schools are
i still too much the prey of politicians
and s.quacks. But there is evidence
4 Of change and when the right sort Of
education is given them, as II Il nov
given those who leave the farms, ther
the chance Of success viii be In favol
o. y ~
