Making the Farm Interesting

The boy who has won prize for
raising 1853 bushels of corn on an
acre will not leave the farm and hunt
for a job i'm town. The farm is too
interesting, and the possible returns
are too large. The boy who did not
win the prize because he only got rs
bushels of corn from an acre is not at
all likely to hunt for job in store.
Corn is being raised by girls, too.
And they find it interesting. They
are melted by competitions to show
what they can do i'm the raising of
flowers. or fruit, or poultry, all OF
which have some advantages for girls
over corn culture. All serve the same
purpose OF awakening the interest Of
the young in farm life. and suggesting
TO them possible rewards, and teach
ing them TO put some science, or book
knowledge, and some skill into their
work. These things make the work
worth while
Boys leave the farm where the faith
er makes no effort to give them a
personal interest in the work and
keeps the boys working every minute
for him. and sees no reason why they
should occasionally have day for
fishing or hunting. These fathers do
not have much science in their work,
and their returns are usually small,
and their sons grow up looking on
farm work as endless drudgery, with
no personal interest for them, and no
reward for them. Ordinary farm
work. which makes no appeal to the
intellectual faculties, which is hard
work and nothing else, which gives
the boy no sense Of achievement, and
no prospect OF anything beyond sub
sistence, and which does not satisfy
the instructive craving to own some
thing. is only drudgery, from which
the boy looks forward to the day of
escape.
The agricultural colleges and the
agricultural periodicals are doing a
great deal 10 inject intellectual life in
to farm work, which is capable of be-
ing made vastly more interesting than
nine-tenths of the work done in towns
The offer Of prizes for the best acre
Of corn, or the latest pig, or the best
field OF wheat, has aroused the interest
of thousands of boys and girls in
farm work They have found that
they can accomplish results far be-
yond the average. and this opens up
undreamed-o possibilities in farming.
They have satisfied the passion to
own something for ones self and to
see not only fathers crops grow, but
their own crops grow. These com
petitions. together with agricul-
tural teaching and literature, are
turning drudgery into profession.
The young people are taking an in
terest in the selection and testing of
seed, and in the preparation of the
ground, and in the cultivation OF the
crop which will attach them TO the
soil not from necessity, but because
il is interesting, and will give the
country in the next generation larger
crops OF everything than it gets now.
Recently an agricultural lecturer
urged that a pig be given 10 each
child i'm farm family. Give each
child an animal, or a hen yard, or
half an acre Of ground. To care for
on it's own responsibility and the
proceeds of which are 60 be its in
dividual gain, and the procession from
the farm to town will be checked

European Wheat Needs

Europes appetite for wheat is in
satiable Ii is wonderful that much
the biggest crop we ever harvested
should coincide with an unprecedented
need of grain by Europe. Clearances
OF grain cargoes from New York are
enormous in the aggregate. mil
lion and half or two million bushels
OF grain is being bought daily for ex-
port. and international bankers es-
innate that the wheat and Hour eX-
ports from this country and Canada
during December will be equivalent
To 50,00O,0O0 bushels. Bradstreet's
estimates last weeks exports at nearly
10, 000,0 600 bushels, flour included, an
increase of more than 1000, 900 BUSH
els over the previous week, and well
on 10 double the figures of the corre-
spending week of last year. The pro-
fits TO the farmers Of the United
States Of having wheat worth 20 to
80 cents bushel more than year
ago, with "A crop about 10000, 600
bushels greater than ever, is enor-
nous.

Easy Way OF Spraying

The very latest and easiest way OF
spraying is 20 apply the insectide by
means OF the garden hose, thus doing
away with the troubles and inconven-
fences of mixing up spraying solution
and the use of the sprayer. The pest
destroyer in this instance Is in the
shape of a cake i'm a container which
is secured to the end of the hose at
the spigot. Thus all the water must
pass around the cake Of bug destroyer
and il impregnates all the water that
is applied to the garden. When the
cake is consumed it is a simple mat
ter TO replenish it. The material
designated for this use is said to have
all the element in it necessary TO XIII
all the bugs which attack vegetation,

ford to forget these fundamental prin-
ciples. May I name them over. as
briefly as canf
Clean food. the very bottom stone In
the dairy wall.
Clean sta'les. a point OF the highest
value in buttermaking.
Clean COWS. calling for the regular
use " brush and comb.
Clean men. in hands. in garments, I'm
every habit
Clean milk pals These can only be
had by carefully rlnsing them at once
after milking with cold water. follow
ing with a thorough washing with
scalding hot water and a good clean
scrubbing cloth or brush. and then
rinsed again with cold water and given
a long sun bath.
Clean pans, secured In much the same
way as the clean pals are.
Clean can covers. Many think they
have done their duty when they have
washed the cans proper and so forget
the covers. Think that milk Stops up
against the cover on the way to its
destination and put no less care on the
cover than you do on the rest Of the
can.
These. as 1t seems to me, are bed
rock points in the making Of first class
butter.
