poNkEYs FOR CHILDREN.
They Cost Too Much to Be- Common
in This Country.

The little donkey cart, as it trudled
along the white beach, attracted much
attic ION Under their red silk para
soils the ladies in white looked at the
small, gray donkey and smiled. The
gentlemen, raising, their eyes from
their novels, patted the small and
dainty animal as it passed
THAT donkey cost hundred" said
a veterinary surgeon. ut is a very
fins specimen. What l want to know
is. why are not cheap donkeys bred
here in America, the same as abroad?
Then every child, at an expense of So
or $1O might have donkey no big
ger than a Newfoundland dog to ride
and drive.
London is full Of donkeys, The
costers use them. Every tiny buck
ster cart is drawn by tiny gray
donkey" The animals are bred in Ire
land and in Wales, and it is possible
to buy little ones for 81, SIS and 81,
and so on up to 500 or more for the
fancy grades.
"The donkey is docile, intelligent,
Industrious, moral. He never runs
away. He never loses his temper. He
is an ideal pet for children, and, If he
were bred here, he would be within
the reach of nearly all.
Think how nice it would be If you
could do here what you can do in
England-give a child nice little
donkey that only costs So"

Average Farm Income.

Nearly everyone has been talking
about the wealth of the farmers and
wondering at the rapidity with which
they buy motor cars. build fine homes
and improve their lands, says the Ne
braska Farm Journal. But after all we
cannot be SO very proud of the aver
age farm income. Uncle Sam discov-
cred recently that the average farm
income was only s640 year. That
does not mean clear profits, but the
whole income. Can you figure where
the big profit would come in?
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1913-12-19
LARGE FARMS FOR BIG MEN
Small Pieces of Land Are Below
Average Mentality and Capacity
of American Farmer.

Big men require big farms to make
money. They must have room in
which to exercise their activities of
mind.
This is not saying that every man
who happens to own a large farm is
successful or that every man who
happens to own a small farm is un-
successful because of his personal
shortcomings as farmer.
There are many big-hearted farm
ers on the small farms of the east
who have spent most of their lifetime
in eaking out very moderate living
without being able to properly edu-
cate their children or provide against
the future day when they can no long
er work.
These men have failed because they
did not have land enough upon which
to extend their mental and physical
energy
Many men in the west have ratified
around half their lifetime on large
areas without making money because
they were too small for the land they
own-they are misfits.
There is great deal of talk about
cutting up the large farms of the
west into small areas. and 1t is true
that the tendency is toward small
farms. but no man can succeed at
grain or stock farming on a limited
area, and the wheat and beef, mutton,
pork. etc. of this country will always
be raised on large farms.
In New England, or in any of the
eastern states. where the average Of
tillable land is from 35 to so acres,
machinery cannot be used at a profit.
To equip a farm of rs to 100 acres.
from $4,000 to $4,000 would be re-
quired. and not enough profit can be
made by general farming to maintain
this equipment and make a profit, be.
cause 1t cannot be used to advantage.
Farm tools must be used to their
fullest capacity during the entire
cropping season to make them profit
able. 1t does not pay the farmer to
buy mower to cut five or ten acres
of grass, nor a harvester to cut the
same amount of wheat.
He must therefore hire machinery
when and how he can, and is thus
always placed at disadvantage in
the matter of time and cost.
The small farm is below the aver.
age mentality and business capacity
of the average farmer of America.
| Thousands of men are struggling to
earn a livelihood on so acres who
would become wealthy on 500.

SCALY PSORIASIS ON LIMBS

Portions of my arms and limbs were

There are certain compensating cir
cumstances, for the white COW fire.
quently gratifies her owner by giving
birth to a roam female calf. Why,
then schould We despise her?
The most important features of the
COW are shape, head. and udder. If
she possesses well-developed frame;
II she carries a good head upon her
shoulders, and a good udder between
her hind legs, she will do good serv-
ice on the farm, though she may not
please the fastidious prospective buy
er in the matter of color.
Some cows live too long before the
final drama of their lives is enacted.
They present the appearance of being
good animals. but they do not fulfill
the promise of their youth. They are
a source of revenue to the trader, but
they disappoint the farmers who buy
them for milking purposes. They
change hands frequently, and are only
saved from. final disgrace because,
though they are complete failure so
far as producing milk is concerned,
they possess a faculty of putting on
flesh rapidly. These cows have sim
ply missed their proper vocation in
life. A little guidance at an early
age OF their career would have put
them on the right track. and they

the butchers block.
If the heifer does not milk credit
ably the first season, don't allow her
to be served second time. Life is
too short, and agriculture too serious
a business, to waste time milking
COWS which do not give sufficient
milk to pay for their own keep. II
she is a good thriver why not feed
her well and get her ready for the
butcher as quickly as possible. You
will be comforting a favor upon the
agricultural community generally by
SO doing.
The cantankerous, ill-tempered COW,
is not usually a good mixer. The
good milking COW is generally placid
and kindly in disposition, and how
she likes to be milked! There is no
kicking or "straddling" about. The
so-called soothing tub of provender is
forgotten, and she stands patiently
chewing her cud until the operation is
complete.
If the COW will not stand to be
MIXED unless she has tub of pro-
vender under her nose. 1t is because
she has been brought up in that way.

100000 Leave Farms In Decade.
What is the effect of this concen-
tration of land in the hands of the
few?
Land is the mother and labor the
father of wealth. a distinguished
economist has written. Land concen-
trated in a few hands increases the
problem CT poverty. which Mr.. Horace
B. Samuel defines as "the economic
discomfort occasioned to vast masses
of the population by the unequal dis
tribution of wealth" The use of the
land is necessary for economic produc-
ton, whether agricultural or indus
trial, and for housing, whether in city
or country. The whole trend of civili-
zation Just now is away from agricul-
ture and toward industrialism. In
England this tendency is most marked
Less than nine per cent. of the popu-
lation of England are now engaged in
agriculture, 100000 having abandoned
the farm in the last ten years, as
many leaving the farm in a single
decade as the entire number of farm
owners in the state of Missouri. In
the United States one person in three
Is engaged in agriculture in some
form: in all Great Britain and Ireland
only one in ten is so engaged. and the
proportion is growing rapidly less.
The general tendency of the situation,
to quote the significant and measured
words of Mr.. Asquith, the British
prime minister. is "a process of deple-
ton at one end and congestion at the
other, by which every year fresh ad-
ditions OF recruits are being made to
the ranks Of tho casual and unem-
ployed"

Wheel Operates Cutter.

to the side of wagon with what is
known as a sloping deck. A vertical
shaft runs through it, and at the top
of this shaft is a rotary cutter. The
gear which drives his cutter is oper-
ated by the revolving of the wagon
wheel, but as it is a multiple gear the
knife revolves much faster than the
wheel. A drag chain with gathering
fingers is attached to the upper part
of the frame, and this chain engages
the cobs of corn and forces them
against the cutter AS the ears are
severed they fall in upon the sloping
side of the wagon and are projected
into heap in the bottom of the We
hicle. A whole field of corn can be
headed with this machine in q short
time.
