A Gambling Ruling.

This position appears to be sustained
BY an Arkansas case along with nu-
merous authorities The main point
which appears to have been raised.
though, is whether it is gambling IN
a card game when the proprietor or
the place gives each player a chip
regardless OF his standing in the game,
and the loser paying for the use OF
the table and the cards" This is ap-
parently not gambling under the gen.
eral precedent and is heiu not to be
by the attorney general.

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 a
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 we'll; 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 n.
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 the
farmer. if he desires to make a u
cess Of farming, must give as much
attention Inc thought to it, as a man
in any other business.
There are few occupations that re-
quire a broader scope OF knowledge

or must not only know how to man.
age his lard 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 mind as we'll, as
a modern farm has many intricate
machines in operation. which require

along that line il he is to successfully
choose and operate them to the best
advantage
Many men have not made farming q
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 manner 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 it 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 OF business. take a farm
and operate It at a profit. simply be-
cause they wen 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 if a profit is to be
made on the investment. Few other
occupations require a larger capital
thar does that Of farming. which EN-.
phasises the fact hat it requires q
great deal of business ability to SO
manage a farm al the present time.

LEAD PRICES ARE
SURE TO ADVANCE
Worlds Consumption During
the Past Few Years Ahead
of Production.
STOCKS ARE LIMITED
Lack Of New Producers and
Increased World Prosper
ity Are Factors.
STOCKS ARE LIMITE

Lead interests are beginning TO specu-
late as 10 whether the era OF low prices
for the dull metal Is not on the eve OF
permanently passing away. The recent
advance from 4.35 cents pound TO 45o
cents for pig lead. might we'll be termed
involuntary since the American Smelt-
ing & Refining company which made
the advance and which controls the pig
lead market, is known TO be desirous
of Keeping prices down until the lead
tariff Is settled. says the Wall Street
Journal.
But market conditions were such that
tho great smelling company bowed TO
the greater law of demand and supply.
The crux OF the situation is that world S
consumption of lead Is and has been for
several years larger than the supply
What this may eventually lead to may
be inferred from the fact that in the
last six years no new lead mine OF hrst
rate Importance has been discovered, and
there are none In sight Rising dema nd
has been met only in part by increases
in output OF existing producers and 10
that there is OF course a limit.
