1t is singular that the United States
has been so long in awakening to the
tremendous Importance of farming as
an industry, and to our inadequate
provisions for financing the farmer.
Agricultural credit societies are now
a leading topic of discussion, and oc-
cupy page after page of the newspa-
pers and magazines. The organiza-
tions abroad are being studied with
view to adapting them to American
conditions And the fact has been
brought forcefully home that each of
the agricultural credit societies
abroad is buttressed by a scientific
banking system Not one could do
extensive good without such support,
Before We can finance the farmer as
he deserves, our unscientifc banking
system must be reformed.

WHEN STOCKS MAY BE BOUGHT

Wall street methods may or may not
lead to a real cleanup But if this
showdown persuade some people to
abstain from game which they are
as well qualified to play as toddling

The following is a good general
rule: Remember that when a Wall
street stock is advancing in price, the
chances are better than even that the
people who know its real condition are
simply playing skillful advertising
game to sell out to suckers.
To all broad rules there are of
course exceptions A man who has
capital not usable IN his business, may
possibly find it profitable to make
study of stock market conditions. The
majority who do so would have done
better to lock their money up in stand
ard bonds. Still, one may admit that
some men are so constituted that they
can safely invest in certain classes of
stocks
Here are some good rules for all
Why buy stocks who have not had
at least semi-professional training in
the investment business
[. Never buy a stock that has not
paid dividends at Least five eonsecu-
tive years
Q Never buy a stock without ex-
amining an authoritative tabulation of
its income account for the past year
and unless its income account shows
a liberal margin earned above diyi-
dend requirements
s. Never buy Il stock unless within
year it has fallen in value at least
10 per cent, without such a fall in
its earnings as threatens it's ability
to pay its regular dividend

1t is a regrettable circumstance that
the people OF the country consider
banking a matter of mystery which
only the elect can understand. Busi
ness men often consider banking a
matter which they are not obliged to
understand, and understanding of
which would be useless to them Ig-
norance of banking as a factor in the
business and economic scheme begets
the lack of confidence manifested in
panics. A good monetary system is
founded on two things-gold and pub
lie confidence. There can be no con-
fidence in anything without knowledge
of it. England has more confidence
than gold. The confidence is born of
general understanding of the banking
system. The most perfect banking
and currency system in this country
would be only party successful if it

CONSIDER THESE ITEMS BEFORE

current issue of Farm and Fireside.

BEING A COLLEGE PROFESSOR.

The announcement that President
Taft is to become college professor
will cause some commotion among the
busy money makers. The estimate
has recently been made that an ex-
president, by using such business OPP
portunities as naturally come to him,
could make $4,000 a year. Why
should Mr. Taft take a position that
will pay him but $4,000, and will take
a big chunk out of his time?
The position of college professor
does not have the social standing as
of yore. 1t does not attract young men
as it used to. The professors them
selves are the first to admit and de-
plore it,

He and his family must needs follow
that many headed beast, Society, into
the lair of all kinds of expensive in
yitations and costly associations.
His average salary is about $4,000.
To work up to 1t he must have spent
several costly years under the gerund
grinders of German universities. He
must work for mechanics pay for
the years of a probationary period He
must renew and add to his European

this his wife must toll, spin and save

But there are'wise old books in their
libraries (eren if they may be bor-

deal with these difficulties. They re-
