holding back the hundreds who gath
cred round, the surgeon commenced

Credit for Other Fellow.

The amount of credit you allow the
other fellow to take for his efforts is
the index for your measure. The lit
tie fellow can't stand seeing the other
man praised. If he has worked In
company with others he wants all the
glory. If there is any prominence to
be handed out he is perpetual candi-
date. The pigmy mind is ever trying
to discount the other mans credit.
There is so little to him that he needs
all the glory he can get, and gets it
wherever he can. Not so with the big
man. He rejoices In the success of
his fellows. He's glad to see others
rising to his class. In fact, the truly
big man sees bigger when he pays trib-
ute to those not so big as himself. If
you want to be In his class you must
not dwarf your worth by being afraid
you won't get all that's coming to you.

ROAD SYSTEMS IN NEW YORK
Total Designated Mileage Placed at
1928 Miles-Work Hindered by
Scarcity Of Labor.

The total designated mileage Of
state and county highway systems in
New York state at the present time is
1888, of which 1925 miles had been
completed and accepted on January /,
while contracts in force at that time
covered 1,185 miles. This with the
contracts awarded during the year
1915, leaves balance Of designated
mileage not yet cared for Of APO.
Highway COZ struction during the past
two years has been gravely hindered
because of the fact that surplus labor
has been largely absorbed If vnunition
making and other abnormal Industrial
activities. In New York state during
1916 it was impossible to secure even
at largely increased cost, more than a
quarter of the labor actually required
for highway work.

ExclusIxe Turkey Farms.

Exclusive turkey ranches are found in the unsettled foothill regions of Cal ifornia and in parts of Arizona and other Western states. where 1000 or more turkeys are raised each season. The establishments are located where the range is unlimited and the natural food of the turkey, such as grasshop' pcrs and other insects, green vege- tables and the seeds of various weeds and grasses IS abundant. Advantage also Is taken on these ranches of the turkeys relish for acorns, and where these are plentiful, but little grain need be used for fattening in the fall. The large flocks of turkeys are man. aged much like herds of sheep, being taken out to the range early in the morning and brought home to roost at night. They are herded during the day by men either on foot or on horse back. and by dogs especially trained for the work.

 Farmers all over the state are be- ginning to plan the crops for next year. Because of the great war, con- ditions are very different from what +hey have been in the past. All feed and food stuffs are especially high and are sure to continue to be SD until after the war, because the allied countries are calling upon us constantly for supplies.
 In the past cotton and corn have been the most remnnerative crops in the cotton belt. Small grains have heen grown but little because the markets for these crops have not been developed; there has been shortage of machinery; and because the price has been such that cotton as cash crop has been superior With present prices farmers can well afford to plant some wheat and patA Where they have not been grown before perhaps planting suf- ficiently large to supply the needs of the family and the live stock will be enough. Where they have already bpen grown to a limited extent and where they have been used with some degree of success as cash crop the acreage can we'll be increased. A few acres of these crops planted early this fall will make splendid pasture during the winter and spring.
 Lands for these crops should be broken after corn or cotton are laid by and before harvesting of these crops begins. If cultivation is kept up in good shape the wheat and oats may be sown in the cotton, middles with little additional preparation.
 "Too often farmers wait until seed ing time, then broadcast the wheat Or oats on the surface and break them in with stirring blow, and freezing out in t' . ~'''lter often results. In all cases oil should be prepared in goo ape, leveled off and the clods b Il with a harrow if drill is not liable.
