the first thaw came the streets were

In their beauty, Maize always wore the

she was a block from her boarding

The big thing in life's battles is the
morale. You may have the men and
the guns, but II the men lack the
ginger they are impediments to attain
ment. 1t is easy to do things when you
are on the winning side. The trouble
begins to brew when things 60 wrong.
Anybody can go with the current It's
breasting the tide that shows where
strength lies, and muscular strength is
the least side of 1t. When the brain
is right and nerve control dependable
you can make machines do muscular
tasks. There are few things that mans
ingenuity has not submitted to me-
chanical control. So the problem of
today is to keep the head right. 1t
means more than keen thinking. There
are men of the keenest intellect who
need the constant urge Of right morale.

Undoubtedly the failure. or partial
failure, Of many fruit trees to bring
forth a crop Is due to lack Of plant
food. Professional orchardists look
after this matter, but the average
farmer who has few trees. which he
dignif1es by the name Of Orchard"
gives scant heed to providing them
with fertility. He may turn the sheep
or the calves in among them but such
fertility as they add is apt to be Of
slight value, comparatively speaking.

Of production. The methods used
| are easily available. We got at the
cost of production of lot of things
Several of these things were very
! interesting to me and at first | could
| not understand them.
Here is one interesting thing l
| learned: that when farmers were
selling wheat at 60 and so cents a
| bushel in the middle states-Iowa,
| Missouri, Kansas, Ohio, Illinois,
| Pennsylvania, New York and Mary
| land-that when these farmers were
selling wheat at 60 ito 80 cents
| bushel, which they did for a quarter
of a century. that same wheat was
costing them a dollar and a quarter
a bushel How was that?
Wen, raising wheat was only one
of the things they did Thcy made
some money on their corn. They
made little money on hay and some
on other things to recoup
their losses on wheat. Here was a
very curious thing.
1t was actually profitable to them
to grow wheat at production cost
OF a dollar and quarter a bushel
and sell it at so cents bushel and
the more of this wheat they grew the
more money they made.
This puzzled me at first.
In Chester county, Penn, we an
alyZed the business of several hun
dred farmers. 1t was great dairy
ing country. 1t cost these farmers
$95 year TO keep a COW. The ay-
erage income from the COW was $50.
Thus they lost SD per COW. Yet the
more COWS they had, the more money
they made. 1t took three months to
find out why this was.
In getting at the costs 95-per
COW, | counted in ton of corn fod
der to the COW at 50 ton. 1t was
was worth more than that for feed
Yet if he sold it, he could not have
gotten anything at all for it except
for the fact that he and his neighbors
were in the dairying industry
creek ran across the dairyman's
farm 1t cut off bit of the farm
which made good little pasture.
But except for the COWS the farmer
would not have utilized this pasture
at all. | suppose he got five or six
dollars worth of grass from it.
Most important of all, in the re-
gions there, the winters are not quite
like they are in Vermont. They tell
me that in Vermont they have three
seasons July, August and winter;
and they keep dairy COWS in order to
find employment in the winter.
In Pennsylvania they nearly al
ways have a good long winter. There
is lots of snow and there is thus a
large part Of the year when but for
the dairy cows they would be bak-
ing their feet against the hot stove.
An occupation which never made
anyone any money
In arriving at this cost Of 500 a
COW / allowed the farmer a dollar
and half a day for his work. As
matter OF fact he got 7 cents
day instead of 5 a day You can
say that he lost : ) cents and also got
- cents. But he was - cents ahead
even though he got only half OF that
to which he was entitled,

may tell you one thing which YOU
may do. You may sell your wheat
for 40 cents a bushel When you
have 20,000,000 tons of wheat or
anything else that no one wants to
buy, the price goes down. You do
not want to see wheat down to 40
cents bushel nor corn to Is cents

Last year We had 35S,000 900
acres OF crop in this country. That
was an increase from 100000
in 1910. The increase was greater
than the corresponding increase in
population during this period.
Now there is a bill pending before
congress today. bin which proposes
tn appropriate $500, 100000 to clear
ing new land to produce more wheat
and more corn and more hogs that
! nobody will want to buy, when Eu-
rope quits taking over our 10000
/ 600 tons of foodstuff a year. We
are talking about settling returned
| soldiers on this land we propose to
open up. 1t seems to me it will be
mean trick to settle these soldiers
on such land under the promise OF
great things. and then make them
sell wheat for 40 cents a bushel or
corn for ) cents a bushel.
The farmers of this country are
up against some very serious prop
lens of the immediate future.
Prices of farm crops are now up.
We have heard references to the fact
that farmers who expect these pres
ent conditions to continue indefinite

There may be half dozen with one

their teachers. They are out to view

Of old Legends. TO examine in detail the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
All white fowls must be washed, and
most fowls of other colors can be i'm
proved in appearance by washing,
fiufing and grooming before the show.
For white birds have three tubs, one
filed with warm, soft or rain water,
another with warm, soft or rain water,
and the third with warm, soft or rain
water colored the proper shade to
rinse and blue white goods. Use a bar
of good white or CASTLE soap, large
sponge and a nail brush. Have the
temperature of the room 50 or IS de-
grees and bring the birds in clean ex-
hibition coops, the floors Of which
should be covered with fresh, dry shaw
ings.
Wash the males first. Clean the
shanks and feet with the nail brush,
soap and water. Insert the bird in the
first tub and push it down under the
water several times until the plumage
is wet through; make a heavy lather
with the sponge and soap and thor
oughly wash the pIumage with the
sponge; open the wings and sponge
them in the direction of the feathers.
Always wash the length of the feather,
from the quill TO the tip and not across
it.
Keep the birds head out OF the soapy
water if possible; sponge the.soap of
the bird and remove TO the second tub.
Press it under the water several times,
allow it to stand and drip for a few
seconds, and then dip it twice in the
tub containing the bluing water. Re
move the bird from the water, hold its
legs firmly and raise it up and down
quickly, so that it will dap and expand
its wings and tail, and shake out the
water.
Do not use towel to dry a white
bird. Move the exhibition coop near
the fire or some heat so that the bird

the breast and opening the feathers OF
the fluff while drying has tendency
TO increase the apparent size of these

the white birds frequently if the eoops
are near a stove TO guard against over
heating them or scorching or curling
their feathers.

The following homemade fly repel-

gallon crude petroleum, and ounces

soap in the water end the naphthalin
in the crude petroleum.
Care should be taken that the spray
ing is not done Immediately before

readily. If the COWS are MIXED in

Immediately after milking to a cool
place where no odor OF the fly repel-
lent exists

Notified butter is frequently found
