Farming a Business.

A farm Is business, and crop yields
are only one part of that business.
Studies In farm management show
that a farm to make money must usu-
ally have large business, must have
good crops and live stock, and must
have these enterprises so selected and
organized on the farm that the labor
will be kept busy throughout large
part of the year. While 1t is impor-
tant that a farmer avoid poor yields,
he should not judge the success of his
farm by its yields alone.

A CERTAINTY
BY THOMAS ADDISON
of the ViQiIantes.

Courage, faltering soul of mine!
Athwart the worn-torn, grisly night
Writ by a hand divine,
A message see in words OF light
Naught shall avail against the Right.
The legions of the insatiate foe
Shall strive in vain to win the height
Where starry banners flow;
Shall fall those tyrant hordes c
Might
Naught shall avail against the Right.
Gods justice reigns, illimitable, strong
Above a world in bloody plight.
An end will come to wrong!
For sure as day succeeds the night,
Naught shall avail against the Right.

FORGET E-NOTS
BY g. e. WOODBERRY
Of the ViCilantes.

The blue of the forget-me-no
A humble beauty wears;
But the same light Is in their leaves
That powders heaven with stars;
It minds me of blue legions
That packed the great advance.
The sparkle of the dancing eyes
In the blue of fighting France.
The violet Of the ocean.
The gentian OF the sky,
I've loved them all my life, and now
My life is passing by:
A prayer to thee, kind heaven!
A kiss to thee. bright wave!
But the blue Of the forget-me-nots
Smiles from my hero's grave.

auto TRUCK IS
WINNING FAVOR
Machines Are Rapidly Taking
Place of Animal Power in
Hauling Products.
IMPROVED ROADS Big HELP
Development of Regular Freight serv'
Ice Is Considered NotabIe-One
Farmer Uses Ten Trailers
Drawn by Tractor.

Motors are rapidly taking the place
Of animal power in hauling products
from the farm In many counties in
the United States where the roads per-
NIT. A significant phase Of this new
development is the growth of regular
freight service, by which farmers can
hire the taking Of their produce by
motortruck directly from the farm to
q distant market, and thus avoid both
the wagon haul and the shipment by
railroad or boat.
OF 1,473 county reports received by
the bureau Of crop estimates of the
United States department of agricul-
ture in it's recent investigation Of the
hauling of products from farm to ship
ping point by animal power and by
motor, 89S reported the use of motors,
mostly motortrucks. In a large frac-
ton of these counties, motortruck
service is just coming into use in haul
ing products from the farm. There
were many more reports of use for
light traffic, such as poultry, eggs and
vegetables, than for hauling grain. A
few reports, scattered from Delaware
to the Pacific coast, mentioned the
great Importance of the light motor
truck service in delivering perishable
fruits to shipping points.
In many states, especially In the
northern and south central sections.
hogs were hauled preferably in motor
trucks on account Of the relatively
small amount of shrinkage compared
with hauling In wagons. Some coun-
ties reported hogs hauled exclusively
in motortrucks, although these We
hicles had not yet come into general
use for grain or other products.
Improved Roads Help.
One of the chief limitations to the
use Of the truck Is the condition OF
the roads, and several reporters men
toned beginning of motortruck use
as following closely an Improvement
in roads. Another hindrance to using
motors is connected with the seasonal
distribution of farm work. Some cor
respondents said that after their har-
vest was over there was no work for
their horses to do but haul, and that
motortrucks would not be an economy.
In other instances, the trucks were
reported to have done needed hauling
at times when laborers and horses
could not well be spared from the
farms. A market gardeners associa-
ton In Rhode Island Is said to be
operating a few trucks with trailers
and to carry produce to the city mar
ket at a cost averaging only 10 cents
per ton-mile.
Frequent mention is made, even In
the East, of trucks which do regular
freighting business, charging farmers
for the service One Tennessee farm
er reported having paid truck to
haul load of Is hogs to market a
distance of ten miles, and the trip
was made in the evening after supper.
Used a Regular Train.
Tractors with trail wagons are In
more or less frequent use In various
states, including North Dakota and
California. One Illinois man reports
using ten wagons drawn by one trae-
tor and moving 1000 bushels of wheat
at a time.

conditions in the United States is IL

Fire Flared from lire Fun neIS Ten Feet When Put on Full Speed

LONDON, April 24.-The British sailors and marines who partici pated in the raid against German submarine bases on the Belgium coast believe that they succeeded in blockading the channel mouth at Zeebruge and destroyed every gun on the mole.
 They demolished the sheds on the mole and blew up large stores oi ammunition.
 A British cruiser in making the attack steamed through a heavy Ger man fire to the mole where the storming party was landed. The Germans thought the raiders were Americans The British cruiser was slightly damaged.
 The survivors say the attack was made at night. Until the British cruiser was within half a mile of Zeebrugge harbor no sign of the mole light had been picked up. The Ger man guns at once poured a heavy fire on the cruiser when they dis covered her on her return trip from the harbor. The British cruiser threw flames ten feet high from her tunnels and made the fastest time proably ever accomplished in getting away from under the terrific shore bombardment.
