made man talk of his little cubby-
hole on the fifth floor of tenement as
my apartments 1t made him put up
front, as near to O millionaire's as
he could initiate, and he'd live on pork
and beans. In other words, the New
York point of view was calculated to
make everybody and everything look
like money, and that was all anybody
ever looked for there at that time
"a young man would come from the
hinterland to New York and get job,
and for the first few weeks he'd go
along his way as young man should
go who expected to be the boss some
day. He'd go home at night and sleep,
and he'd save a little money. But
soon the bug would start working on
him. The first symptom would show
in his buying a cane and discovering
Broadway. The next downward step
would be learning to eat spaghetti in
Italian restaurants. After that the
rest was simple. The young man

stick. Sometimes he would eat and
sometimes he wouldn't. But no mat

night under the lights you had to ad-
NIT that he looked like typical New
Yorker, and that was what the young
mans soul craved After that he'd go
home and feel that the day had not
been misspent.
by this time if you ever asked him
if he hadn't come from Oskaloosa, or
Chicago, or some other American city
he'd be ready to fight He was a New
Yorker by this time, and il he got as
far as Coney Island he thought he was
travelling. And with this we close the
book on a young but misspent life.
For nobody ever recovered after the
bug had done it's work They were
sealed to Manhattan island then. They
would rather live there thirty minutes
than any other place thirty years;
they said so themselves. That was

SAYING THAT is
WORTH REPEATING
intelligent Care of Land, Crops
and Animals Is Secret of
Success in Farming.
CBy II. H. sHEPHARD)

This may have been said before, but
it is worth repeating: You cannot get
something for nothing, even at farm
ing, although they say that crops grow
while the farmer sleeps. So do the
weeds, and the animals grow hungry
between night and morning. Intelli-
gent care Of land, crops and animals
is the secret of success in farming.
And if anything else should be added,
it is that the farmer must be intensely
i'll love with his work. He must see
good things in the farming line in all
Of his visions.
Don't simply show your wife and
children money in your pocketbook aft
er making a good sale. That is mean
and wicked. They helped to make
that money as we'll as you. Give them
a part of it now to spend in their own
way while you can see them enjoy it.
and perhaps share in their joy. If you
save it for the children to spend after
you are dead-you know the rest, but
you won't know it then.
Cement is cheap this year, but with
it and sand and gravel you can make
some of the NOSE valuable things on
the farm. A good rule to make on the
farm is that of building something of
concrete every fall and spring. By
and by, with little money and labor
your farm will become substantially
improved, and these Improvements will
outlast you and your grandchildren. 1t
is not economy to construct with any
material that is not efficient and per-
manent.
There is one reason at least why
every farmer should own a gasoline en-
CINE, and that is that the boys like to
see it work and they learn many good
things from it. The farm boy as a rule
takes naturally to machinery, especial
ly anything that moves and has the
get up and go" about it. And the
small gasoline engine has them all
beaten in this line a full country
block. They teach farm mechanics in
the schools, but why not make it pos
sible for the boys to learn some me-
chanics first hand before leaving the
farm?
About the. funniest thing we have
seen lately was a city woman wearing
hobble skirt trying to get in and out
Of our farm wagon. The assistance of
two able-bodied men and one woman
was required in the operation.
City-bred men are moving onto the
farm in real good faith and bouyant
hopes. Some of them will have as
much to learn as the old-time farmers
who went to the city few years ago
and put nickles into the slots of cable
car tracks. 1t Is about an even tie be-
tween the city man and the farmer
when it comes to an examination on
! eneral facts in special lines. Neither
t,orOs the one hundred points mark.

(By II. II. SHEPHARD1


One of our neighbors who is an old
time and very successful strawberry
grower advocates a very long season
of growth the first year for the new
plants. He sets out his strawberry
plants as soon in March, or thereafter,
as the ground will do to work.
This man has made his living, and
almost a fortune, by growing straw
berries and other small fruits His
berries run on the average from $500
to $500 an acre, the entire seasons
product being sold at the local town,
about one mile from his farm His
berries are always in demand at the
highest prices, because he always
grows good ones.
The secret of his success with straw
berries is in blowing the ground deep
and early, with liberal fertilization in
the form of stable manure. The ma
nure not only furnishes plant foods,
but also adds to the moisture receiv-
ing and holding power of the soil,
which is very important during the
fruiting season, when general condi-
tiOns are dry.
The land for the strawberries is
MANFRED and plowed late in the fall or
early winter. This brings up the deep
soil minerals to be exposed to the
elements during the winter for disin-
tegration. During the winter the
plowed ground is given a good dress
ing of stable manure, and this is fol-
lowed in the spring with light dress

ashes should be applied just before
setting out of the young plants in
spring, as they have a tendency to lib

iting neighbor farmers. Being too
close in money matters to carry
lantern and burn UP precious oil, he
takes with him his white dog on these
nocturnal trips. A halter strap is fas-
tened to the dogs neck, the owner
holding the loose end. The dog fol-
lows the beaten paths between the
bachelors farmhouse and the houses
of the neighboring farmers, leading his
master safely home on the darkest
night. The oil companies of America
should have this stingy farmer arrest
ed, and compel him to purchase and
use good lantern and refined OIL He
should be taught that the Other fell

Speaking of making a living, the
man who cannot make and save money
at farming, gardening, dairying or any
of the side lines to general farming is
a fit subject for pity, as he could not
make living at anything. Foodstuffs
of all kinds have become as market
able as flour, and at remuneratiye
prices.

plants suffering for moisture, with
consequent stunning of growth.
But the chief reason for fall plow,
ing Of the ground and early setting is
that the plants will have full benefit
Of all growing weather from early in
the spring till late in the fall This
not only insures a deep and strong
root system for the plants. but perfect
branching with solid matter hills or
rows is effected, and large number
of strong buds are formed for the first
crop the following season. The long
season of growth makes large and
strong plants, capable of developing
a very heavy crop of the most perfeci
fruit.
