WHAT is PRACTICAL?

One of the most useful things we
as dairy farmers can learn is a bet
ter understanding of what is really
practical. About every man limits
the meaning of this much abused
word to the narrow dimensions of
his own experience. What he knows
to be practical is practiced, that is
the end of it. The Babcock test
was not practical" said nine out
of ten farmers in 1886; now, every
one believes in its practicabiity.
The siIo, the purc-bred bull, the
growing of alfalfa, the King system
of ventilation, and host of other
we'll accepted improvements in dairy
practice have had to run this gaunt-
let of practical" in the mind Of
the average farmer.
Seager Wheeler, Canadian Sas-
katchewan wheat farmer, has had
an experience in this line that is
well set forth in the following brief
paragraph which we take from an
article in the Country Gentleman:
When Wheeler first began grow
ing wheat from seed selected and
bred by hand he was looked upon
as faddist. Many were not quite
so charitable as that in app ylng
names to him and to his work. But
since he won the $1,000 first prize
at the New York Land Show in
1911 for the best wheat raised on
the American continent, and another
international sweepstakes prize at
the 1914 show in Kansas, and inter
national prizes at various other ex-
hibitions in the United States and
Canada, they have stopped calling
him a faddist. When he began
to grow wheat at the rate of forty
five to eighty bushels an acre on
small plots and thirty to thirty-tVe
bushels on his large fields, even in
unfavorable seasons, and to sell his
grain as seed for two dollars to
three dollars bushel, practically
every one decided that he was
practical farmer and competent
business man."
Every step in the way toward
greater profit and greater efficiency
in the business of dairy farming has
been fought out and won against
the narrow judgments of farmers
whose only cry was not practical" "
This proves beyond controversy that
that the only impractical man iE the
business is the one who is foolish
enough to measure the question
solely by what he knows and that
alone .-Hoard's Dairyman.
