The easiest thing to do in all the
world is to find an excuse to kick, and
that is probably the reason SO many
folks are engaged in that sort OF a
thing. n
It is possible to learn a few things
in looking over neighbours field even
if it is poorer than our own, but the
right place to go for information is to
the owner of the best fields that can
be found.
Don't forget that very good machine
oil can be bought for 40 cents per
gallon and that the blacksmith u.s.
ually charges about 50 cents per hour
for making repairs. "You pays your
money and takes your choice" il
Character-is the register of LIES
total. II contains little mark OF the
resultants of our endeayors, either of
failures or of successes. tits the rec
ord of efforts, and thus efforts and
not results count in the end in its
makeup.
A few Sundays ago a sporty sort
of farmer came to town in the after
noon, filled up with bootleg beer, and
along toward evening he got into his
new Ford car and undertook to break
the speed limit on his way home to
do the chores. He menaced both
sides of the road for about a mile of
the way and then his machine somer-
saulted into ditch. It didn't kill him
or do him much damage, and he
swears that his steering gear was out
of order. guess it was, but not just
in the way he means.
Laughing at another's expense is a
graft, and usually very mean one.
Begin training the bull calf while
you are stronger than he is and try
to teach him to respect your strength.
As soon as he discovers that he is the
stronger of the two it is time to
sell him. Never fool with bull nor
stick Of dynamite.
Mail order houses are sending their
catalogs by parcel post this fall which
was the thing that made the country
merchant help fight on the side that
was against passing the law. We
don't just know why they did this,
but we can make pretty good guess.
l don't know of any pleasant sound
that can compare with the sound of
raindrops pattering on the roof after
a drouthy spell, but the sound of the
windmill pumping water after three
or four still days is not at all unpleas-
ant to those who have no pumping
engine.
Three men can find all the hard
work they can do in the silo when it
is being filled and the one who owns
the silo will do we'll to see that he
has three workers to do the tramping.
The ordinary run of tramps are not
OF much account when it comes to
tramping silage.
This year it paid we'll to sow some
clover seed with the small grain for
fall pasture. have in mind a neigh
Dor who sowed four pounds Of clover
seed to the acre with small grain for
fall pasture and the result was a
stand of clover that is making him
do some hard thinking to decide
where to start to pillow.
Don't take your disappointments
very hard. Keepa cheerful face as
they come along. They are so very
common along Iife's pathway that if
we do not learn to laugh in their
presence, we will have precious little
opportunity for laughter. 1t is good
to hope for such, but not to grieve
over broken hopes. When one flow
er fades it is to ripen seeds for a
thousand more another season. Hope
rises eternal in the human breast,
that is, beloved, if that breast is not
converted into a fountain of tears be-
because of the hopes which are
blighted.
Corn cutting and silo filling will
soon be here, and as the time for
doing the work is short it is we'll to
make preparations in advance as far
as possible. To stop for repairs when
the work is on is what makes some
fellows get caught by Jack Frost.
There are still quite few fields
dotted with shocks waiting for the |
threshing machine to finish its swing
around the circle. The loss the own |
ers of these late-threshed fields must |
stand, would, in many cases, pay for
stacking all the grain in the "ring."1
