management at the Minnesota agricul-
tural experiment station.
Farming is a business, and the ono
who can grow the largest crops Of
the best quality and at the same time
produce them ut the lowest cost, sell
them at the highest price and make the
best investment of the money received
should rank as the best manager.
While farming has not commonly been
regarded as Il business, the fact re-
mains that the successful financial
operation of IL farm presents even a
more complex problem and involves ut
least as much business ability and tact
as are required in operating a store.
\ farmer must have Il knowledge of
principles Of the movement of soil wa
ter. of soil bacteria and their action. Of
plant growth, of varieties and species
of plants, of the effect Of n crOp on
the crop following and of the care OF
the seeds and forage. He must also
understand animals and how to feed
and care for them. and i'm addition he

vantage. to make contracts, plan his
buildings and farm so as to cconomiZc
labor and distribute it to advantage.
The farm manager who would sue
cesSfully conduct his business may
profit by the example of the merchant.
The merchant takes an inventory Of
his stock. considers the demand for his
goods, both present and prospective;
notes the supply and cost of each arti-
Gle Of commerce. the labor. etc.
The farm manager should likewise
take an inventory of his capital stock
and equipment. He should consider
the fertility OF the soil and the de-
mands that will be made upon it by
the crops grown, the sources from
which fertility may lie renewed and ut
what cost: he must study the markets
and demands for the various crops and
the possibility OF handling them at Il
profit. the cost of producing each of the
crops and the probable net profit that
will be returned: the labor supply. the
interest on investment and similar eX
pcnditures.

BUILD A DAIRY HOUSE.
It Is Very Necessary For Man Who
Deals In Milk Products.

In every case where a considerable
portion of the farm income is derived
from the sale of dairy products q build
ing should be provided to be devoted
exclusively to their care.
The essential features which should
be retained in any plan are a room
Just large enough for the actual needs:
a floor, wall and ceiling which can be
easily. quickly and thoroughly cleaned;
a good drain to carry away waste wa
ter; a suitable method for heating the
house in cold weather: plenty of light
and ventilation; convenient arrange
ments for washing. scalding and dry
ing dairy utensils, and a good tank and
water supply for cooling the milk or
cream. This building or dairy house
should be convenient to but entirely
separate from the barn where the
milking is done.
In ease a special dairy house cannot
be provided the milk or cream should
be handled and stored in a clean, light
and we'll ventilated place. free from
strong odors of any kind.-From Bulle-

LAW AND THE HIRED Man.
Sickness Usually Accepted as Excuse

Sickness Usually Accepted as Excuse
For Failure to Hold to Contract.
Controversies about wages frequent
ly arise between farmers and their
hired men when the latter are dis
charged or quit work before the expi-
ration of the time for which they we're
employed. Sometimes a man who is
hired to do certain specified work or
work for q certain period Of time for
fixed wages quits his job without
good and sufficient reasons, and the
question then arises what compensa-
ton, If any, lie can recover by law
from his employer for the work he
has actually done. There is some con
tict of authority in the decisions Of
the courts upon this subject, but the
weight of authority is to the effect
that in such cas- the hired man can
recover the value of the services
which he actually rendered, deducting
from this noun any damages which
his employer has sustained by reason
of his failure to complete the serv-
ices which he was hired to perform.
Sickness or death Of an employee is
considered by the law to be the act
of God and constitutes good excuse
for delay or even for nonpcrformance
Of Il contract for personal services. An
employee who is prevented by sickness
from completing services according to
his contract can recover the actual
value Of the services which he has
performed under the contract, and if
vented by his death his executor or
administrator can recover the value
Of the services actually performed by
him.

Until the organization of the Airing

fluffy Of spinsters over bachelors in
a certain American town, but from
then on marriages began to fall of.
One Of the most popular married wom-
en- called the maidens together and
organized an association for the adj
vanccmcnt Of matrimony based on the
1ndian-Persian plan. The first young
lady to secure a husband by the meth
cd was invited to state how it had
worked. She said:
Mrs. President. l had long admired
Mr., George Luddington, who had paid
me some attention, and had it not been
for the organization Of the Arlington
club | believe he would have asked me
to be his wife. But that pestiferous
| institution reduced him from an in
cipient lover to u vacillating hanger
on. Soon after the adoption Of the
| plan which we are associated to carry
out I worked Mr.. L%uddington's initials
on q fine cambria handkerchief and,
calling a messenger, told him to take
it to the club at the hour l knew Mr..
Luddington dined there, obtain access
tO the coat room and pin it to his hat.
The messenger had no difficulty in
executing his commission. l did not
know for some time that Mr.. Ludding-
ton knew from whom the token came.

well, and the action he took in the
matter was intended to brighten Inc

the handkcro hief he called on me, and
tended to be very irate.
