are fine investment tor a good

will not take the place OF tile work

The man who generally finds
fertilizers most profitable, is the
man who is already gettin. the

he can spend money for plant food
and make a profit Of several hui

to get your money back with a

F FARMING EFFICIENCY,

1here S generally more than one
way TO do a thing Most of us don't
know how much ingenuity we've got,
and how much work we can get done
lust by using our brains, until we're
nat up against it.
This bit Of philosophy Is inspired
by casual item sent out by the de.
partment of agriculture. telling how
one farmer in Indiana has met the
farm labor shortage He had q big
farm to work, and no men to help
him He hadn't any tractor and hadn't
any prospect Of getting one in time
for the spring sowing But he had
plenty Of horses.
Well, ncighbors who happened to
pass along that way were soon edited
by the sight of that Hoosier driving
team OF six horses hitchcd to a disc
pillow and leading three horses draw,
ing harrow. "He was working nine
horses and two modern farming i'm
plements, and doing the work of sew.
eral men and teams under the old
system Of farm
And what he has done almost any
man could do, in his own work, ii he
woke up and got his brains on the
job.
