THE BUSINESS AND ART OF
FARMING.
BY PROF. 3. S. THOMPSON.
State COLLEGE.

Farming Is a business, and the sue
cessful farmer must first Of all be q
business man. He follows his voca-
ton primarily for the money he can
make. and like other business men
should aim to get the greatest pos
sible returns for the money and labor
involved.
Not only Is agriculture a business
but it is an art as well; the art Of
producing plants and animals that
are useful to men. In order for a
farmer to be successful to the utmost
degree, it is necessary for him to IN.
derstand the principles upon which
true agriculture is founded. One
sometimes hears the remark that
anyone can be farmer" There may
have been a time when the above was
true, but at the present time he
farmer. if he desires to make a sue
cess of farming, must give as much
attention and thought to it, as a man
in any other business.
There are few occupations that re-
quire a broader scope OF knowledge
than does farming at the present
time. For example the modern farm
err must not only know how to a
age his laad SO as to reap the largest
crops and at the same time retain the
fertility of the soil. but he must be of
a mechanical turn Of mine as well, as
a modern farm has many intricate
machines in operation. which require
a man of considerable knowledge
along that line if he is to successfully
choose and operate them to the best
advantage.
Many men have not made farming a
paying proposition because they have
not managed their farm in a bust
nesslike manner. Examples Of this
are to be found in any community.
Anyone who will take the trouble to
look around him while driving through
the country cannot fail to notice the
| shiftless ann in which some farms
are operated. How often does one
see all of the farm machinery stand
ing out-of-doors, fences and gates out
OF repair and the fertility Of the soil
being robbed by improper cropping?
One man may operate a certain
farm and lose money at 1t while an
| other person who is a good business
man may afterwards take it and farm
it at a profit. | have known men who
have had no practical farm expert
ence, but who were successful in some
other line o. business, take a farm
and operate II at a profit, simply be-
cause they went about it in a BUSH
nesslike manner.
It is generally recognized in the
commercial world that it is necessary
to give attention to the small details
of the business II a profit Is to be
made on the investment. Few other
occupations require a larger capital
than does that of farming. which en-
phas:css the fact that It requires q
great deal of business ability to 30
manag a farm at the present tine.
as to return q reasonable p7odf on
the investment. 3

signs Of people, ~habitations, domestic

the Egyptian landscape. In the winter
there are crops to be sown, watered

Great golden masses Of corn are al.

Coal Rate Reduction

Coal Rate Reduction.
Pierre.-Lower coal rates from the
west will go into effect for South Da-
kota points beginning the first OF
July. the reduction to Missouri river
points being more than $3.50 a ton
for freight charges. This action is on
an order by the interstate
commission, on complaint of the South
Dakota state commission. The exact
figures in the reductions on the Mil
waukee line as shown by the railway
department are S1.57.4 at Chamber
lain; Oacoma, 80 cents; Reliance. 65
cents: K%ennebeck, SIS cents; Fresno.
As cents, with corresponding reduc-
ticps at other stations on that line
on all coal shipments from Colorado
and Wyoming mines. The rate depart
ment has not figured on the reduc'
tons on the Northwestern line, but II
is said that they will be greater than
on the Milwaukee, as the Northwest
ern has never given anything but a
purely local rate on western coal &c
stations in this state.

Denver, Nov. 24.-Charging that
strike breakers are being imported
into the southern coal fields of Col
orado under the protection, or al
least with the knowledge of the mil
itary authorities, contrary to Gov
ernor Ammons' orders, State Labor
Commissioner E. V. Brake has Of
fered to substantiate his claims with
proof.
'The coal companies are not play
ing fair in the strike controversy,
says Brake. They lie when they
say they are willing to operate their
mines as open shops. as they have
for thirty years. The best evidence
that they lie is proved by the fact
that they have standing orders with
Lee Tanquary, in charge of the state
free employment office at Pueblo
for miners, but not union miners.
THE coal companies have always
maintained a closed shop against
union miners. They have continual
reports showing that they were re-
fused permission to inspect the
mines.
Armed with the proper authority
from the governor, ! could prove In
five days that the militia is not only
keeping out the strike breakers but is
protecting them in going into the
mines. | could also prove to him
quickly that Baldwin-Felts detect
ives are being enlisted and clothed
with the supreme military authority
