Rhode Island are all promising large
accessions: all this In excess of the
1900 or more candidates likely to be
furnished by New Hampshire.

THE GENTLEMAN FARMER

Pressure of city life-for most u
long, uphill grind with no goal in
sight has been taken advantage of
by real estate spectators, whose
glazing tales of rural luxury have led
many poor amateur into a trap
compared with which metropolitan
job is a sinecure.
There is an awakening of interest
in the source of all life's necessities
the soil. The governments best
efforts are now concentrated on the
Improvement of farming practice;
agricultural colleges are attracting
the best brains of the generation.
Science has been harnessed for farm
work.
In the face of the new realization
of the fact that agriculture is not
only science, but a craft and pro-
fession as well.
Metropolitan dreamers are able to
convince themselves that when all
else fails the farm offers a refuge
from stress and strain, together with
a rich livelihood.
Weak and unframed ill-equipped
with cash or skill, the dupe of the
land CRATER, sets foot on the acres
he calls his own and begins strug-
gle which must cause all the forces
of nature to smile in pity.
In a new country, where most of
all hardheaded ability at this intri-
cate game is needed, he often makes
his puny challenge to the earth, the
air; sun and rain; seeds and seasons.
If he survives 1t is in the shape of
hungry incompetent, a sickly imita-
ton of the rugged real article.
The back to the land movement"
IS sound in principle blu. lar ..rofe
sound in practice is the "stay on the
land" movement which is showing
the farmers son the opportunity that
lies at his feet. Tradition is behind
this youth, he has begun to learn be-
fore he knows he is learning. Let
him go-1orth, If he will, and acquire
all there is of modern theory and GER
tainly he should not reject the gifts
of laboring minds concentrated on
his problems. But in any event
watch him! The farmer whose edu-
cation began with his first baby ques-
tons and who has such a tremendous
head-start in this back to the land
movement.

Successful dairy management re-


quires intense interest and intellectual
advancement.
Dairy profits do not consist OF
growing large crops and donating
them Improbable cows and calling
the result profit
A wire strainer is productive = OF
more harm than good.
Having clean. fresh cloth strainers
for each milking will save lot of
trouble and explain the strange phe-
nomena of why the milk soured.
The man who grows legumes to
help feed his land has land that yields
large crops to feed his COWS.
Never turn a COW off as Improbable
until you can look her In the eye and
say have done my part in caring for
and feeding her.
Many men who leave the city to
take up farming lose money while
they are learning common sense.

more simple than the building mp one.
Registration is not certification and
1t has been aptly said that there Is
no scrub so poor as pure bred scrub.
Actual milk yields are OF greater
Importance than ideal forms. large
milk veins and fancy color markings
No small part OF the bacterial dirt
in milk comes from the person and
clothes of the mixer.
Nothing contributes more to the
steady thrift OF cattle than careful
and persistent attention to their every
day needs.
Short pasture. poor water supply,
insufficient shade and protection from
flies cause more injdrv to dairy cattle
than disease, parasites and prevent
able injuries
Good care cannot be administered in
bulk. 1t is the steady every day de-
votion to the little details that add to
the comfort of the cattle that counts.
No calling In life brings a man in
closer contact with the better class Of
men than breeding high GLASS stock.
1t matters not how good bull may
be individually, he cannot head the
herd OF painstaking breeder unless
he has an acceptable milk record back
OF his parents.
It is quite useless to depend upon
purchased COWS unless he Is a better

not often the case.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE

Saturday, between 8 and 10 p. M,
near the B. & o. scales, a young,
fne-looking fellow, about % years of
age, by the name of Anthony Loveall,
met his death He was B. & o.
fireman. The engine was up in
the w. M. yard and started down
backward to go down to the Y to turn.
This young man was on the tender of
the engine, and near the scales a
switch was left the wrong way. This
guided the engine right into a train
crushed against coal car. He lived
but few moments.
Someone is surely responsible for
the death of this young man. To
leave switch unlocked, unprotected,
and no switch light there, seems a
matter that should be investigated by
the proper authorities. Life seems
too cheap in this great land of hus-
tie at many times. That broken car
can be repaired. But this poor young
fellows life cannot be returned
Neither can that broken-hearted
mothers love be quenched. And that
father that was so proud of his baby
boy, where is his heart today? And
possibly his sweetheart, and no doubt
he had one, how does she feel? Take
this home and see how it would make
your heart feel. No question he said

will be investigated.
