What is the best gait for hungry

Rev. j. G. Austin


Rev. j. c. Austin, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Blackfoot,
wrote the following:
MIR. Austin's Letter
81 am anxious to have you see
the merits of that article in The Re-
publican nrder the title, carl Mel
son; Student Farmer; Sure Crops;
and to have you see my reasons why
| believe it to be of the best value
to this community, my reasons are
as follows:
81. Mr.. Nelson, althoug having
nothing to begin with, was not so
discouraged that he was handicapped
by his lack Of means.
"2. He took claim to me the
man who takes a claim and lives up
on 1t long enough to prove up has
staying qualities
"3. He shows by his choice of
fencing that he is not taking the
chances Of injury to his stock which
he would take were his fences all
barbed wire.
"a. BY cross fencing, his stock
can be changed from one pasture to
another without tramping down the
entire field at time and wasting
feed.
SO. All his gates latch. I wonder
| the average farmer does not lose
a good deal of time in unwinding
the rope and throwing off the barbed
wire at the top of his gate? Not
so with Mr.. Nelson.
"6. Col. Fugates' philosophy was
not intended for Mr.. Nelson, for MIR
Nelson goes to the harness room or
a rainy day and mends the harness.
~. His tool house and out build
ing alluded to shows not only hi
thought for his grain, but a grea'
saving Of waste by rust to his ma
chinery. While the enclosed watel
in the barn is good too, as 1t Il
warmer in winter for his cattle ant
milk shrinkage is not so great.
20. His system of accounting
makes him authority upon what b
liz doing. Too many farmers hav'
no accurate knowledge Of what thei
crops havo cost them to say nothinI
Of the cattle.
80. Then too, he practices diver
sified farming, by this system hi
ground does not become imporishe
and run out.
40. BY planting q variety 9
crops his Is not dependant upon th
I,aise or fall of any one thing as th
man would be who limited himself

lesson we all must learn, namely
that of stay ing by the stuff; no plug

consider the different articles in

81 consider that the article which
will reach the largest number Of
readers and inspire them to do bet
ter work, pursue better methods and
result in better farm management
will be the most valuable one to
the people of Blackfoot and vicinity.

three is an article which every farm
er should read, even IL they do Keep
books, they may be able to find some
new ideas in regard to bookkeeping.
We have been married six years only.
We were married in December, 1908,
and started housekeeping and book

see where and how it benefits us
more each year, really ! don't believe
we could keep house without keeping
books. After living on one are
am sure we could make good living

every year. A great many farmers
are skimming over too many acres In
slip shod, haH-hearted doing
one of it thorouly. 1t is q good
plan never to undertake more than
you can do we'll.
Altogether too many people take
no delight In identifying their
homes; there are no flowers, lawns
or shade trees, even using their front
yards as pig, sheep, cattle and horse
corral. There are many little Inn
provements that can be made around
the home which cost very little or
perhaps nothing, except the labor
and most of us have time this season
of the year to get things in good
shape before spring"

1T is difficult matter to decide
between the articles about Nelson

Were we to try to decide as to
the best farm and farmers the task
would be infinitely more difficult, but
fortunately we are to compare the
articles instead of the farms and
