The excessive drinker is not tolerated

The Farm Home

Too often the farm is considered to
be a place to make money, with little
thought of its being Home. If the
family dislikes the home, it may be
largely due to lack of conveniences
about the house, or absence of shade
trees, grass and flowers, So often
you hear the man say, Il can't afford
to spend my time fixing things around
the house and yard, for that don't
bring in any crops, and ] need all my
time for the field" But a fair ex-
pense of time and money is justified
if it produces a contented family, for
it puts their hearts into their work
and the chances of success are ac-
cordingly greater, and very often the
home can be made beautiful by it's
immediate environment, while not de-
tracing from the earning capacity of
the land which supports it. IF we
plant wisely we shall reap the con-
tentment of the shade in the next
generation. II the farm is regarded
as merely cold, money making en-
terprise, we miss the harvest of
good living in later years. If we look
upon the farm as home and cultivate
those essentials of satisfying, living,
comforts, trees and flowers-things of
beauty-we reap a perennial harvest
in the ripe years of old age when
such things come to have a value far
beyond grains and fat beasts"

The AarleuIture Outlook

General crop conditions on June
were about LOG per cent OF average
being 1141 in California, 1852 in
Colorado, 1O7 in New Mexico, 1868
in Utah, 104.5 in Nevada, 1898 in
Oregon, 1884 in Idaho, 1882 in Wyo-
ming, 1925 in Arizona, 1904 in Wash.
ington, and 98.s in Montana.
The Rocky mountain states have
been blessed with an unusual amount
of moisture as result of heavy SHOWS
and late winter rains. The weather
is frequently mentioned as ideal. The
irrigated sections have ample water
supplies impounded and the areas de-
voted to dry-land crops have excep-
tional supplies Of ground moisture.
This condition has resnlted in increas-
ing the acreage devoted to dry-land
crops. The growing weather has
been good, particularly for grains
Fruits and tender plants have been
somewhat injured by late frosts.
Winter wheat is very good Mois-
ture is ample and prospects for fine
and exceptional crops are good. The
spring wheat acreage is increased,
owing to favorable conditions for
planting and the advantage of an
unusual supply of ground moisture
in the dry land areas. The condition
is recorded generally as very good to
excellent.
The oat acreage is also increased
and the condition is superior for the
same reasons. This is true also of
barley and rye. The value of barley
as staple feed crop for live stock
in the states of high altitude or lati-
tude with a short growing season is
being more and more recognized.
The hay crop throughout this grand
division is reported as extra good,
this applying to both the seeded crops
clover and alfalfa-and to the ma
tive grasses on the open range. Grass
is superabundant
Colorado promises one of the finest
apple crops in the states history,
with like favorable prospects for
peaches and pears. Fruit prospects
for all the remaining states OF this
grand division are above average.
Some damage has been suffered from
late frosts, but this is offset by bump.
er crop prospects in other sections
The condition Of the hardy vegeta-
bles is reported as fine, but the ten
der plants have suffered generally
from frosts.
The condition of sugar beets is al.
most normal, or SO per cent.

Sharpening Lawn Mowers

It is quite a general practice when
a lawn mower becomes dull, to take
1t to shop to have it sharpened. At
the shop there are two methods en-
ployed in sharpening the mower. One
method is to use a file on the reel
and blade. This is very poor way,
as only experts with the file can pro-
duce a good job. More often the
blades are uneven, being too high in
places and too low in others. The
result is, the blades on the reel do
not touch the lower plate or blade
the same throughout their length,
causing the mower to run hard and
cutting the lawn unevenly.
The second method is to grind the
blades of the reel in a special machine
designed for that purpose. This is
. much better way than the first meth
cd. as 1t leaves the blades quite true:

Halifax, N. S., May 1s.-After be-
ing adrift thirteen days in an open
boat, four survivors of the freight
steamer Columbia were rescued in
the North Atlantic ocean by the U. S.
revenue cutter Seneca to-day.
The men told thrilling story of
eleven of the crew who had escaped
from the burning Columbian only to
die of their burns a short while after
ward, and their bodies were thrown
into the sea. Three other members
of the crew are reported to have
burned to death on the steamer.
When the four men were rescued
by the Seneca they were almost life
less from starvation and exposure.
