MORE POTASH COMING.

American crops and soils are still as
hungry for Potash as before the out
break of the European War which
curtailed the Potash shipments
Some of the Fertilizer Companies
are trying to induce farmers to buy
the one-sided low Potash or no Potash
fertilizers of generation ago, This
means fertilizer that is profitable to
the manufacturer, but not the best for
the farmer When the Syndicate in
1910 started the direct sales of Potash
to dealers and farmers at reasonable
prices, Potash sales increased 90 per
cent in one year, a clear proof that
farmers know that Potash Pays They
know that Potash gives good yields
good quality and resistance to plant
diseases
Many of the Fertilizer Manufactur.
ers are willing to meet the farmers
wishes and sell him what he thinks he
needs. These manufacturers are now
willing to furnish as much Potash as
they can secure. They offer goods with
5 per cent, and even in some cases 10
per cent Potash, if the farmers insist
on it
Shipping conditions are improving,
more Potash is coming forward al
though the costs of production and
transportation are higher The higher
price of fertilizers is not due wholly
to the slightly higher cost of Potash
Much of the Potash that will be used
in next springs fertilizer had reached
America before the war started.
There is no substitute for Potash

WINTER JOBS FOR FARMERS
Splendid Opportunity Offered for
Clearing Fields of Old Stumps-
Other Odds and Ends.

On many farms this is considered
between period. with little de-
manding immediate attention. How
ever, the successful farmer is COM
ing to see that if his plant is to pay
dividends there must be no period
of idleness, but that there must be en-
ployment every working day in the
year for men, horses. machinery and
capital.
Right now we would call attention
to the stump-ridden fields that can
never be farmed satisfactorily and
most protitably until the stumps are
removed. True, stumping large fields
Is no smallsized job and calls for
the expenditure of both energy and
cash; but it is a job that can only be
done by going about it persistently
and determinedly, and the present
winter days offer a splendid opportu
nifty for prosecuting this sort OF work
Another job that we may we'll tackle
at this season is that of retaining
the waste, reproductive spocs about
the place. These are mainly the
CALLED, quilted areas that have come
as result of our not properly look
ing after our hillside lands; and the
wet spots that now refuse 60 grow
crops but which, by the use of
few open bitches or some rain tile,
may be made the most productive
areas on the farm. Look your place
over, and if you fail to find such waste
spots as these, then you are entitled
to place your farm in the blue-ribbon
class
Other jobs that may claim cur at
tention are looking after the farm
manure and seeing that none of it is
allowed to go to waste; housing and
repairing the farm implements; pro.
viding plenty of good dry wood for
mother; breaking lands that are not
occupied by cover crops; and arrang-
ing for our fertilizer purchases for
1915.
Compared with the North. the
South, by reason of its mild winter
climate possesses a tremendous eco
nomic advantage. Let's make this adj
vantage count by filing the winter
days with work that will make our
farms more slightly, productive and

Ideals.

Have you ever noticed that in al
most every case the successful farm
ers are men who have definite aims
that they are men with ideals? A
thinking man who plans to get the
better things usually gets them, too.
We need more ideals in farming.
Especially is it important that the
young men should get the right ideals
Unless a man starts out with a belief
in live stock farming and determine
ton to get something out of life be.

greatest success. In forming these
ideals good plan is to consider the

TO SECURE SOUND SLUMBER

Many men and women, especially
those past their first youth, find diff.
Guilty in procuring the sound, restful
sleep so necessary to keep mind and
body fit Although. physically, the
body is tired out, the brain is as alert
as ever, and perfect oblivion is impos=

A well-known physician gives some
interesting advice on the matter
Insomnia" he states, lis one of thu
penalties of the increasing strain
modern life throws upon our brains
The man who works with his muscles
and lives in the open air Is rarely
victim of sleeplessness.
THE essentials for a good nights
rest are mental repose, a requisite
amount of muscular fatigue, comfort
able body heat and plenty of ventila-
ton
THE most difficult to secure is les
sened brain activity. An excellent
plan is to take a brisk half-hour's walk
just before bedtime. followed by t, hot
bath and rundown. and then a cup
full of warm milk and biscuit or two
as one gets into bed.
IF. in addition, the mind be focused
on some pleasant but not exciting
topic, a nights rest is assured to all

ADVICE GIVEN TO FARMERS
Every Branch of Business Is Bene-
flied by interchange of Views
Practical Suggestions.
=GBy MILLER.)


Sometimes | feel annoyed at the
freedom with which people give adj
vice to farmers. At times it looks as
though all the farmers needed guard
ians, judging by the amount of I'M
solicited advice they receive from city
people. l do not mean to resent good,
timely, sensible talk giving new ideas
or practical suggestions. We all need
that Every branch of business is
helped by an interchange of views but
it will relieve my mind to say that the
average farmer knows his business
better than any other people possibly
can.
The chief trouble with the man in
the country is that he is what they
call unsophisticated He does not put
up much of a front. He is slow and
careful, but that does not mean that
he is stupid.
Some of the best thinkers | have
ever known were men who could not
express themselves well and could
not meet people in bright way and
let them know what was on their
minds
Such farmers make poor bargains.
They buy wrong and sell wrong and
are apt to be imposed upon by glib
brokers, agents, merchants and other
city people with whom they have to
do business
