every community and there are .dweys

sppearance and if you will talk with
the children they will soon give the
impression that there is no place like
home and they would much prefer
spending their leisure time there than
to visit in the neighborhood.
Mr. Brown uses his brain as well as
his Drawn. He reads the best farm
journals published, gets the bulletins
from the State Agricultural college,
Experiment Station, also from theAgri-
cultural Department at Washington;
he uses the best and most improved
machinery through which he can save
the labor of extra men; he pays care
full attention to seed selection; lays
out his work as carefully as would
carpenter plan house; keeps informed
on the rise and fall of the markets
and somehow manages to sell his live
stock just when the market is the best.
Mr. Brown is close observer He
knows there is reason why the big
meat packers are piling up their mil
lions, for the textile manufacturers
growing wealthier with each succeed
ing year and for the makers of ma
chinery extending their plants and ex
tending their trade territory into for
eig, countries and buying out their
competitors. Little reasoning shows
hin that the secret of the success of
those financiers arises from the fact
that they give attention to details.
buying the material in its crude form
and transforming it into . manufae'
tsrsd article with . value several
tiInnes the cost Of the raw material. He
applies these reasons to his farm, In
stsad Of marketing his grain, hay, etc,
in fts nav state, he builds silos, feses
HI produce to stock through which he
realizes many times the value that he
Wild have gotten had he sold it in
tks original state.
He reads in the agricultural journals

~ farmers and he resolves that he
vim not contribute anything from his
farm to their growing wealth. Ne

Or he can economic time and horse

poor Judgment is never able to buy

The house of Mr. Brown is equally as
orderly as everything else about the
place. The kitchen is built for COM
forts and conveniences and is supplied!
with all those handy little devices
which while inexpensive mean so much
in the saving of time and labor to the
housewife; water is piped into the
house from . nearby tank which is
kept we'll filled by small gasoline en-
gise which also runs the washing ma
chine, the churn, grinds feed for the
stock and poultry and furnishes power
for anything else needed. When asked
il this piece Of machinery is not .
useless expenditure Of money Mr..
Brown replies that it saves the wsRs.
