wellgrown specimens would give

this holds true also where flowers are
crowded in bed and border.

Mixed Stock Farmir,

AS rule, on the average farm at
least it will be better to have a few
cattle. some horses, a score of swine
and small flock of sheep, than to have
the same amount of money invested
in either cattle or hogs alone. There
is greater safety in such distribution
OF capital, inasmuch as the different
kinds OF stock subsist somewhat on
different kinds of food, and If on ac-
count of drouth or for some other
reason one kind of food fails. others
may be made available to carry
through in good condition at least one
or more Of the classes of animals kept

The Beneficiaries OF The Agricultural
Propaganda

Who are getting the profits of the great
agricultural propaganda that has now de-
Veloped into craze in this country
The answer is: Pretty nearly every one,
except possibly the farmer
The railroads. 1t gives them more
freight.
Officials Of the Department. of Agri-
culture; the professors, adjuncts and as
sistans in our agricultural colleges, and
other paid agitators. Not only their
professional careers, but even the bread
and butter of many of them, are depend
ent upon their writing, talking and ex-
perimenting
3 Certain bucolic and semi-bucolic bell
sheep, or would-be bell sheep, who are a
kind of connecting link between the pro-
fessional paid agitator and the gaping
dyed-in-t -the-wool rustic. They get sun
dry little nubbins for at least trying to
lead the sheep.
The farm laborer. 1t increases the
demand for his labor, and thereby makes
it scarce, high and inefficient
Spectators and gamblers in farm
products 1t multiplies their number
and increases their supply Of speculat-
ing material
The seed men, fertilizer men, hard
ware men, farm implements men and all
who are dependent in their business
mainly upon the farmer. The more the
farmer buys the better for them.
I Possibly the consumer. Despite the
fact that the outrageous prices that the
poor consumer has to pay go mainly to
the Intermediates between the producer
and the consumer, increased production
may possibly lessen his prices just a
little
The farmer--is he also beneficiary +?
one might think on the first thought that
this agitation was his show; that he was
'chief cook and bottle washer" that he
was both propagandist and beneficiary
that the railroads, professors, bell sheep
ct AL were only incidental or accidental
profit sharers; that they We're simply
oyerwhe mingly in love with the former.
But il is doubtful whether this is not a
case where the farmer should pray:
Save me from my friends and lovers.
1t is conceded that the farmer gets
much information from this propaganda
some of it useless and impracticable
But the increased competition and over
production resulting from the agitation
probably more than oyerbalance the
value Of the information to him. How
would it do, for instance, for the Federal
and State governments to send forth
thousands of men, talking writing and
eXhorting young men in every county
and hamlet to study law and enter the
legal profession for a living? Would the
lawyers now practicing in any town think
they We're benefited If. instead of 10, as
at present, their number should be in
creased to 80? If other people do not
think competition advantageous to them
why should the farmer think it desirable
for him?
it may be all right for others to profit
by the propaganda. but the farmer es-
pecially should profit by it, since it seems
70 be in his behalf And Information up
90 a certain point is all right. But what
the farmer needs more than more infor-
nation is organization Unless he or
ganizes he will soon become d peas
ant" or "serf," as he is called in
Europe.
