FARM NOTES
By One of the Farmers.

dry and dusty week, rain threatened
several times.
The team put in part of day helping
out at the O. Neil place.
Some of the farmers put in part of the
week on their knees-not praying-weed-
ing onions.
The roof of the silo was finished during
the week, giving that structure much bet
ter appearance.
One farmer tried old burlap sacks for
knee pads but with very little success.
His knees ached just the same.
Cow No. 5, our champion milk giver,
increased her flow of milk from SO to Sc
pounds day during he past week.
Pulling and peeling onions is no small
part of the farmers work. 1t takes time
to get out 3, 500 or 4, 900 for one order.
Corn is up and growing fine but the
weeds are giving it close race, and the
farm seems to be just full of weeds of the
sand burr variety.
The pasture fences were fixed up and the
cows turned in the first of the week. 1t
makes some difference in the amount of
milk given daily.
Part of the garden grounds was plowed
during the week. The seed sown did not
seem to grow but the weeds kept busy Just
the same, SO it was turned over and new
seed planted.
The Big Chief was detailed as day herd
er last Monday with instructions to herd
the cows along the road. He must have
been mapping for the cows got by him and
started for St. Paul. 1t was laughable to
hear the Chief tell of the time he had cut
ting in ahead and turning the cows home
ward; thinks he ran almost to St. Paul, but
got back in time for lunch

In that part of Hearst's Magazine
for May, devoted to current topics,
and entitled, Trend of Times" we
find the following comment on the
Engllsh Militant Suffras ettes: The
screaming, disheveled, bomb-thr
ing woman will never, pray God, be
a permanent factor IN political life. :"
The writer closes his article with
this reference TO American Suffra-
gettes: 1t is cOmfol ting to see the
dignitied and far more efficient mien
of American Suffragettes, and more
power to their arm.'' Why, more
power to their arm?" The Ameri-
can Suffrage,ts are not throwing
anything. Probably the author clos
ed his article with this inconsistent
final because he was thinking of the
ball game. and wondering who was
going to pitch for the home team.
Or has the writer guild yet TO learn
gallant new phrases to cheer the
suffragettes on to victory?

style. There is diffe, ence be-
tween fiction and story telling or
writing. We have a large number
of fictiomsts and but few story
writer's. Some of the magazines
are giving their readers monthly
lessons in social problems. There
is the idea of fiction with a purpose
uppermost. Ancestors was written
to point to some solution Of the
problem Of race suicide. The au-
thor thinks the problem solved.
His hero concludes the tale with the
statement that he is going to be an
ancestor.

The Pathfinder says in an article
entitled: Pros and Cons of Col
lege Education:" If young man
is poor, it is very doubtful policy
for him to try to get college edu-
cation" We believe this is sound
wisdom and the Pathfinder gives
good reasons for advancing the idea.
There is a a persistent demand for
wide awake young men in every
branch of industry and business.
1t is better for poor young man
to gel busy and learn to do some of
the worlds work. He will have a
better cfance for advancement, and
accumulate more money. The
skilled craftsn an can always secure
the best Of wages and is sure of
steady employment. The profess
sions are overcrowded and have but
little recompense to offer to the
college graduates.

The fame of the University of
Wisconsin has attracted a pilgrim
age of Eastern civic officials. A
special train-load arrived at Madi-
son, Wisconsin, the 21st of May.
Among those who visited that seat
of education were. the Mayors Of
Pittsburgh, Atlantic City and Phila-
delphia. Many college professors
came with the civic officials. A
remarkable incident in the history
of education; the like was never
seen before by men. There is no
record of large numbers of civic
officials travelling together a long
distance to seek education. The
four days course offered by the
University of Wisconsin to it's dis
tinguished visiting students, is a
new departure in college education.
The fact that prominent men travel
led a long ways to take advan-
tage of the lessons speaks highly of
the value of the instruction. Some
day in the future the people will re-
quire that all their public servants be
graduates of civic college. The
pilgrims who visited the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin sought knowl-
edge that they might be better able
to serve the people who sent them.

Charles Brodie Patterson has an
excellent article in the June Nau-
titus entitled Society and The Law
Breaker. Mr.. Patterson deals with
the subject in a frank, candid man-
ner and states the facts clearly.
1t is encouraging for the man inside
to find that writer of known ability
understands prisoners. 1t is refresh
ing to read clear statement of the
true facts connected with society's
treatment of the law breakers. Mr..
Patterson does not molly-coddle
us. He does not pat us on the
back and calls us boys" and get
sentimental over common sense
subject.
Mr.. Patterson has some good
ideas on Prison Labor and says: L
can imagine no greater punishment
to anyone in prison than that of
having nothing to do" The evil
effect of idleness upon prisoners is
emphasized by Mr.. Patterson. We
are sentenced by the courts to hard
labor and in most States there is no
recompense for the labor. Here in
Minnesota we are paid for erwork.
The writer made over eight dol
lars during the month of April by
doing overwork. Mr.. Patterson's
article is one of the best treatments
of the subject we have read-clear.
logical and sensible.

Gouveneur Morris has new
idea, III his story Ancestors, in the
June Cosmopolitan. The conclud-
ing dialogue between the hero and
heroine ends with this assertions:
Heart of My Heart, end it makes
all the difference, we are going to
be ancestors" A case of ancestral
generalization. This short story of
Gouverneur Morris was written
with the end in view to point to
some solution to race suicide. The
entire story is weak, there is scarce
ly any semblance of a plot, and un-

The man who writes editorials on
The Minneota (Minn.) Mascot is
sure some writer. He is no sob ar

writer, using language that makes
it easy for you to get the meaning.
He does not deal very extensively
with politics; mostly articles show
ing his belief in the brotherhood OF
man.
