 | One great trouble with farming anc | farmers,-I don't say the only trou-
 bIe or even the greatest, but one very serious .one--is the number who fall | into Dr. Pearson's fourth class those
 who don't know how and don't waEt
 to learn. One such in a town, coun- | ty, a state would be quite enough. Bu: sometimes a fellow comes despondent- ly to feel as if they outvoted all the | rest.
 | No farmer is to be blamed for not I wanting advice from non-farmers about how to work his farm. To no | man on earth are the theorizings of Soft-handed amateurs or the criticisms of suburban 1awn-trimmers or the | divagations of city-bredAb country ignorant New York editors more irri- tating than to me.
 But it's possible for most of us to tell a hawk from a handsaw when the winds southerly and the sun shines If not, there's something wrong with our eyesight. Besides. who's talking about outside; direction, anyway? The source and spring of all good farming is within, inside the farmer himself and not in any outside urgings or drivings. clear through to be told patronizingly now to get rich from winter eggs by some chap who doesn't know: wheth sr hen has teeth on her upper jaw or makes good many of us ugly to have some kid-gloved visitor tell us that lwe'd make money by adopting more "business- like" methods. It especially rasps the raw spot when some other farmer who's, happened to have a lex- acy left him enough to reShingie his old barn condescending1y begins: "Naow, where. ye made yer mistake wuz," etc, etc.
 It isn't from them nor from anv like them that good farming is to be learned. On the other hand, it isn't wise. just becahseF they're such sap- heads. to condemn the entire balance from the farm gateways. a
 The farmer who doesn't know but wants to find out is a fairly hopeful proposition. The farmer who not only doesn't know, but is so cocksure that he does know that he won't even try to learn,--there is more hope of fool than of him.

 The trickling woodland spring would never have developed into the mighty Hudson if it hadn't taken and ab- eorbed into its steadily swelling flood all the tributary waters of the Mo-. hawk and the Kinderhook and the Esopus and the. Croton and the four score other streams which unite with 1t. It doesn't even despise the contri- button of the little rout-brooks which dribble into it at frequent intervals.

The Windham county corn show, | first in series of such to be held in 1 the counties of Connecticut, was pro hounced a success here Thursday. More than 300 persons, from many towns of the county. came to Odd Eel lows hall to view the exhibits, which were splendid and made it clear to the most casual observer that Con- necticut must stand in the very first rank of the corn producing states of the Union.

The show was arranged under the auspices of the Windham County Farmers Association and for weeks past County Agent B. w Ellis has been busy with preparatory work. Exhibit of Foodstuffs. In connection with the corn show there was domestic science demon stration and exhibition of foodstuffs, Miss Charlotte Embleton, demonstra- tor for the county in charge Scores of women who visited the show dis played special interest in the demon stfatiohs of the uses of cornmeal and appetizing dishes and there were many expressions of a wish that the re- cipes used in making foods that were exhibited might be printed for the general information of the public.
 German War Bread.
 Among the foodstuffs shown was some German war bread, and while this could not be compared with bread
 made from wheat 1t was sampled so generously that the supply of it was soon exhausted.
 Professor B. R. Southwick, agrono- mi ct at ho college, was one of the moving spir- it's in making the show a success and he delivered an address during the af- ternuon. as did Miss Embleton.
 Corn Smelling Contest.
 The corn smelling contest for net weight of corn was one of the inter- entrant brought s5 pounds of corn on the cob. This corn was shelled off and prizes awarded in accordance with the greatest net weight shown Four contestants tied for first place the cob. They were H. A. Amidon A. c. Botham. c. s. Hyde, H.. F.

Norwich bulletin., 1917-11-23

Good farming is the sort which yields the farmer an adequate living; enables him to lay up some profit each year; and leaves his farm just little better each fall than it was the spring before. That, at least, is the idea. I'm not set upon the form of words in which it is clothed.
