A PLACE
TO LIVE

What is your farm for? How
do you use it?
There are two conceptions
as to the farm. One is that it
is the place to make money,
another that it is a place to live
and serve. The same general
conceptions prevail as to bust
ness. Some men value their
business chiefly as an oppor-
tunity to accumulate wealth,
others for the particular reason
that it permits them to build
up homes and serve society.
So long as the farm is regard
ed only as place to make mon
Ey it will not afford comfort
and cOnveniences that people
enjoy. But when it is main
tanned and enjoyed as a place
for a home, where the fewest
temptations are met and the
greatest enjoyment of family
life may be had, then it is apt
to be both attractive and profit
able. In one instance the COM
forts of life are uppermost, in
the other the accumulation of
wealth is the chief concern.
The farm ordinarily is not a
good place to accumulate mon
ey. There are many other oc-
equations better than farming
for men who are prepared and
desire to accumulate wealth.
But there is no better place to
live than on the farm; there is
no better place to rear the chill
dren, provided educational ad-
vantages are available; there is
no better place to serve society
and enjoy nature and be indie
pendent. The requirement is
for those who are contented and
who are willing to learn and
ready to make use of their OPP
portunity.-Farm and Ranch.

Save the Best For Seed.

All cotton is not good cotton. Some
varieties have the ability to produce
from $1,000 to $500 worth.of cotton
per acre more than others, according
to results obtained at the Arkansas
Experiment Station. This difference
has largely been brought about by
careful selection Of planting seed. Tn.
der the usual farming conditions in
Arkansas cotton deteriorates very
rapidly from year to year because of
failure to select the best seed and
because of admixture at time of GIN
ming. This deterioration can be over
come and cotton can be improved by
careful seed selection. Choose next
years planting seed while the crop is
still in the field. Have good pickers
go over the field ahead of the regu.
lar force and save the best bolls from
the best plants, choosing from those
that show ability to YIELD watch also
for earliness, for size of boil and for
storm resistance. Get the best, get
enough of the best to make at least
one bale, have this ginned free from
admiXture and save the seed for plant.
ing purposes. Good seed selection
will mean an increase of several dol
lars per acre next year.

PAGES WEEKLY
LETTER.

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-Dur-
ing August and September the
farmer should find time to pro
vide feed for the late fall and
winter months. Many farmers
have a few hogs for killing pur-
poses. Store feed is SO high
priced that it is almost prohlbl-
tive. The only cheap feed that
can be had this year is pasture,
and it cannot be had in most in
stances unless planting is done
during this month and next.
Nothing will make more hog
pasture than rape, if it is seeded
on good soil and especially on
soil that is inclined to be a lit
tie moist An acre OF rape
ought to furnish one-half the
pasture for five of six one-hun-
dred pounds shoats throughout
the entire winter. The seed OF
rape is comparatively cheap,
which is a big item this season.
Rape makes a splendid mixture
with red rust-proof oats or Win
ter wheat as a winter grazing
crop.
The cotton middles on at
least few acres should be sOWn
to wheat, oats Or rye. 1t will
cut Gown much Of the feeG PHI
for the horse, mule and COW.
Extra care should be taken
this season to save the clover
alfalfa and pea crops in good
shape. Because of the large
amount of water that the stems
of these crops contain, they are
always hard to cure. When cut
with the mower they shou d be
raked UP into windroWs just as
soonas the leaves begin to wilt.
The water in the stem goes
out by evaporation through the
leaves. If the plants are al
lowed to lay on the ground in
swath until the leaves are
i2leached and burned in the sun
the evaporation cannot take
j place and the stems dry out
slowly. In addition to the
slow curing many of the leaves
are lost. At least so per cent
of the feeding value of the
plant is in the leaves.
Start to picking the cotton
crop early. Very often the
mistake is made of waiting I'M
til the entire crop is open be-
fore picking is started. When
ever there is much open cotton
in the field some Of it will drop
off on the ground where it will
be damaged, especially if it
rains. A great deal is lost
every year because part of the
lint is allowed to fall off on the
ground, due to not pushing the
picking. With the price of cot
ton this year the farmers can
afford to use every precaution
to save the crop in as good
condition as possible.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

Electrically Controlled
Boat Was the Invention
of John Hays Hammond

Recently cables from England made
brief mention of the electrically con-
trolled high speed bOnt" which. 1t was
announced the enemy was operating
off the coast of Flanders. A veil of
mystery was thrown over the new ves-
sci and naturally curiosity on this side
of the Atlantic was heightened by the
lack Of detail in the messages announc-
ing the new craft. One satisfactory
feature of the announcement was the
fact that It apparently proved fail
ure at its first trial.
There is, however, nothing new In
the electrically controlled boat for
such vessel was given thorough
and successful trial in 1914 in Glou-
cester bay along the shores Of
Massachusetts, observes writer. The
strange craft was the invention Of
John Hays Hammond, son of the ia
NOUS American mining engineer. 1t
was controlled by wireless waves from
the shore and was designed to carry q
high explosive charge.
Mr.. Hammond's invention was in
fact n torpedo which could be con-
trolled from the shore resembling in
this respect the old Brennan torpedo,
which was employed in the British
coast defenses 20 years ago and was
steered and driven by thin wires run
ming over drums in the torpedo and
actuating the screws when the wires
were wound in by an engine ashore.

To Western Canada belongs the dis
tinguished homo" of being the holder
Of all worlds championships in wheat
and oats for both quality and quantity.
For many years in succession Western
Canada has proven her claim for SUI
premacy In the most keenly contested
National exhibitions and to her Is cred
tied the largest wheat and oat yields
America has known. The natural con-
dltions peculiar to Western Canada
and so adaptable to grain growing, has
been an insurmountable barrier for her
competitors to overcome. In the last
few years the yields of wheat and
oats per acre have surprised the agri-
cultural world. AS much as sixty BUSH
els of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms, while others have fur
nished affdavits showing over fifty
bushels of wheat per acre, and oats as
high as one hundred and twenty BUSH
els per acre. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to crop return of over
fifty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from q thousand acres. While this is
rather the exception than the rule,
these yields serve to illustrate the fer
tility of the soil and the possibilities
Of the country, when good farming
methods are adopted. Western Can
ada can surely lay undisputed claim to
being "The Worlds natural bread bus-

Black Abyssinian Monks.

There Is q most curious account Of q
community Of Abyssinian Christian
monks in Curzon's "MOnasteries in the
Levnnt." The writer came across them
In 1887, during his wanderings in
search of manuscripts in the desert of
Nitria.
"These holy brethren" he wrote,
"were as black as crows. tall, thin,
ascetic-looking men, of a most original
aspect and costume. They seemed 10
be men who tasted much and Toasted
little; great observers were they of
yigils, of penances, of pilgrlmages and
midnight masses; eaters Of bitter
herbs for conscience's sake"
The evidence Of language and tradi-
ton certainly points to Semitic orig
in. The Abyssinan scribe haste wres-
tie with an alphabet containing POS
letters, and, as they had no cursive
writing each letter is written dis
tinctly and separately, like the letters
