Jimmy is too contented." declared
James Henderson, ST. Hell work 16
hours a day here on the farm and
never stop to wonder why he doesn't
! get more money than one of these
slick-haired soda clerks in the drug
store. Something is wrong with our
farm system. I think l know what
1t is, but it'll do Jimmy more good if
he finds out for himself. I want to
teach him to think"
PerpIexed by Losses.
He was right about his farm sys-
tenn. but he was wrong about his son.
Jimmy, in his own quiet way, had real
lied long ago that Il business which
required from IA TO is hours of steady
effort daily, should pay more than he
RECEIVED as his share of the farm
profits He had INDUCED in all sorts
the mental gymnastics in an effort to
locate the trouble but had never
reached a sound conclusion. He knew
that certain crops produced profit,
while others probably involved a loss.
How was one TO know one from the
other; the difference between poor
farm practice and good farm prac-
tice?
He found the solution in bulletin
which came to him from the United
States Department of Agri .ulture "A
Method of Analysing the Farm Bust
ness" was its title, and Jimmy real
lied. after a glance at the pages, that
I, 4 ~,
the Henderson farm was concerned.
He devoted a good many evenings to
studying the bulletin. then finally
sought the elder Henderson on the
farmhouse yeranda one night and sur
prised him by remarking that their
farm system was as full of holes as
an old boot. Once launched upon the
subject the young man displayed an
interest that caused mis- father to set
tie back in his chair with a sigh of
content.
we've never made money here he
cause we spent too much" Jimmy as
serted "We haven't spent money eN
actly. but we have spent things that
are equivalent to mOney-time, labor
and farm acreage. If we permit Jack,
the hired man, to put in days work
on a job which isn't profitable, we've
spent the amount of his wage and, in
addition, the amount of profit over
and above his pay which his work
should have earned for us. We've
wasted his labor income.

Much of the loss and annoyance
caused by breakage of farm equipment
may be avoided by careful inspection
and repair of weak parts before the
seasons rush begins.
The proper time for making repairs
is during the winter and at times
when the regular farm work is not
urgent, specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture say.
As the season advances, implements
which will be needed for the next
farming operations should be gone over
and given any attention required to
make them ready for immediate use.
If the farm machinery is not properly
housed during periods of disuse. it is
all the more important that it should
be given careful overhauling. At
ter inspecting the implement. tighten
ing bolts, Strengthening weak parts,
and renewing broken pieces, the nee
essary painting should be done. Ere
quent applications of dark metallic
paint, consisting either of red lead or
venetian red and raw Hnseed oil, not
only improve the appearance Of farm
implements, but add greatly to their
durability.
This is an age when appearances
count. and farmers standing in the
community frequently is governed by
the appearance of his farm equipment.
The man who spends his spare mo-
ments in the repair OF fences and
gates and maintaining a neat appear
ance of the entire farm has a better
chance of becoming a leader in his
community than the man whose farm

LABOR UNREST IN BRITAIN
General Idea That Wage Struggle on
Large Scale Is About to
Be Inaugurated.

All signs point to the colliery indus
try as the first which will be engaged
in wage struggle on a large scale,
in the British Isles. There will be
new development soon following
upon the detailed inquiries by both
parties in the wage negotiations to dis
cover what the general body of both
owners and miners desire.
In the meetings in the various coal
fields, the miners have declared for a
new standard wage, embOdying nearly
all present earnings, while the owners
declare that. unless wages are sub
stantially reduced, many cOllieries must
close. The attitude of the miners will
be decided at a coming national con
ference, and in the subsequent re-
newed negotiations decisive stage
will be reached. A struggle is regard
ed as almost certain, and the fact that
many cOlliery owners, especially in
South Wales, are giving notice to
terminate contracts in fourteen days
so that thereafter the mines may be
closed at one days notice, Is regarded
as an ominous portent.
