RAISING HORSES AND MULES
Important Factor In Agricultural Pro.
ductIon on Average Farm 10
That Of Animal Power.

For the southern farmer, there is
no single factor in agricultural Iro-
duction on the average farm that is
of greater importance THAI good horse
or mule power. This power can usu.
ally be furnished more cheaply by the
production of needed animals at home
than by purchasing them from remote
localities. In home production there
is also the added advantage of DOS.
sessing animals which are thoroughly
acclimatized.
The destruction Of horses in the
countries now at war is enormous. and
when peace is declared and for MANY
years thereafter. there will no doubt
be a great demand for horses for az.
ricultural and other work. The farm.
er who has surplus horses at that
time will be in a position to obtain
good prices. Keep your best mares
to work on the farm and raise colts
at the same time. You will thus be
in a position not only to raise horses
for your work but also to take advan.

CONTINUAL GRIND OF FARMER
Successful Farmer Must Learn to
Make Money Without Drudsery-
Don't sieken Young People.

Too many people think Of the farm
er's life as one Of continual grind Too
many farmers make their life too much
of a grind. Excessively long hours.
except occasionally, are no more nee.
essary on the farm than In other lines
of work
Who ever knew a man who was
making money on a farm who wasn't
thankful to be there? But he must
learn how to make money without the
drudgery. He must take agricultural
papers. They are his trade journals;
he must read the bulletins and at.
tend the farmers institutes. He can.
not afford to sicken his young people
of the farm by keeping everlastingly
at work. Too big feed of honey will
sicken one Of it. Too big a dose of
farm work win sicken the young folks

Of the first two months after setting

Matters # Especial Moment to
the Progressive Agriculturist

Laziness and drunkenness clothe q
man In rags.
Success comes to the man who be-
lieves in success.
Virtue consists not in acts alone.
but in thoughts as well.
We should water and cultivate the
flowers and destroy the weeds in our
disposition.
Friendly sentiments do not count for
much unless they are backed up by
friendly acts.
The kicker in the church. or the In
stitute, is as unpopular as the kicker
In the dairy herd.
The mind is a goodly field and to
SOW 1t with trifles is the worst hus-
bandry in the world.
The man who thinks he is more cum
ming than others is usually the one
who Is deceived in the end.
The most unhappy farmers in this
country are those who have stopped
work to rust out in the village.
As long as the farmers can be kept
pulling apart. the middleman will con-
tinue to get fat on their labor.
Red ink and exclamation points may
attract attention but the combination
doesn't necessarily make folks think.
And again some men sail right in to
talk Opportunity's arm of before she
has a chance to tell them her message.
When remembering what an easy
mark Adam was we should not be too
severe upon fellows who cannot resist
the lures Of this age
No talent, no circumstances. no op-
portunities will make a successful
man unless REINFORCED by a reason
able amount Of energy.
The man with a clear conscience and
patches on his trousers gets more out
of this old world than the man who
goes beyond his means to be fashion
able.
A man may not be able to own an
automobile, and may even have hard
time to pay his taxes: but IL he lives
soberly. deals Justly. and works all
the time. his passport will be accepted
