Farm Made to Paw

For ten years 500-acre farm in CEN
trail Michigan failed to pay interest on
the capital, invested. One year after
the owners had been induced to make
certain radical changes. the farm paid
all expenses of operation and returned
them 8 per cent on an investment of
100000. These changes were:
Substitution of four-horse for two
horse machinery; substitution of bet
ter stock for Improbable cows in the
dairy herd; adoption of the silo plan;
allowance to the foreman, in addition
to his salary, of 10 per cent Of the net
income from the farm.
Expenses of operating the farm. but
not the interest on the capital. were
deducted from the income before the
foreman received his percentage. The
owners yielded to the plan when they
found that for every dollar the fore
man got under such an arrangement
they would receive nine.

FruqaIItx VS.. shIf.Ie..ne...

Before the long, wet winter months
set in, when the greater part at his
machinery and Implements are not in
use, the thrifty farmer carefully goes
over them. oiling, using paint when
necessary, supplying broken or missing
parts and putting everything under
shelter. These and other frugal char
acteristics differentiate him from the
shiftless, haphazard farmer who leaves
his implements exposed to the wealth
er. who let's the fences around his
house and barn fall down, perfectly
contented to throw hoop over his
corral gate rather than put on new
hinge or repair the old one.
The former, 1t may be taken for
granted, is plow-deep. use-fertilizer
cultivate-thoroughly and take-advan-
tage-of-the-market farmer-in word,
a successful farmer; while the latter
is scratch-the-ground and trust-to-
luck individual whose failure he at
tributes to anyone but himself.
No right-minded farmer could toler.
ate being in the second class; and, on
the other hand. every farmer coming
under that category ought to aspire to
the first lassification-and now is the
time to start. -.t...,s 81 ~

DIALECTS In British Isles.

Several languages and many dia-
lects are spoken in the British isles.
In Northern Scotland most of the
people speak Gaelic. as they once
did in ireland, where the Gaelic
language has been undergoing a
revival in recent years. THE Welsh
have distinct language of their own
which is of Celtic origin. The Cor
nish people until far into the eight
eenth century spoke a Celtic language
very similar to that spoken by the
people of Brittany in France. Nearly
every shire of England has its peculiar
dialect.

GET-ToeETHER SPIRIT

/. The more the farmer shows
the get-together spirit the great
er is the advantage accruing to
him. personally and from a busi-
ness standpoint. New ideas, pro-
gressive methods, valuable busi-
ness connections can be gained
only by rubbing elbows with the
world outside his own fences.
Taking an active and positive
part in community events, inter-
change of views with successful
men of affairs, getting beyond
the border of his county and
state and mixing with people
this is to make himself felt in
his own community. All this
has broadening value, not easy
to compute in hard dollars and
cents. but quite easy to sum up
in profitable results.

FARE CHANGE IN EFFECT
No Friction Reported, Either on

The new rates Of fare seven cents on

the steam railroads went into effect
today, and appeared 10 be accepted as a
matter Of course by the travelling public,
who evidently regarded the increase as
one Of the war burdens they were expected
to help bear as a patriotic duty.
On the trolley lines, however, most OF
the riders paid Ga cents per trip, pnrchas-
ing tickets at four for % cents, instead OF
paying the straight seven cents. Accord
ing to conductors who were seen IN regard
to the change today, none had any
trouble and there was no appreclable
falling off in the number OF riders,
There was quite a denand for the strip
tickets at the Traction Co.'S offices, as

Opponents of the increased fare were
endeavoring to induce persons to walk and
were posting cards about the streets and
in office buildings, making the request that
people refrain from using the cars.
