Not So Bad

As related by the Owatonna, Minnesota, Jour
nal, farming is not so bad when it is done right
and with some intelligence. This seems to be the
situation in Steele county where diversified
of the dairy country of southeastern Minnesota.
1t has a bank deposit of 1898 for every man, wo-
man and child of its total population of approx
mately 10000 persons. This figure indicates that
the farmer in Steele county, for most of Steele
county wealth is in the hands of farmers and
and their families, is not on the verge of ruin
and that agricultural bankruptcy, if II exists
elsewhere in Minnesota, does not exist here.
The eleven state and national banks of the
county have total savings and checking deposits
of $7,452,755.22 an increase of $685., 090.53 over
the total deposits of June 30, 1918, five years
ago. All of which seems to prove that diversi.
fled farming with the dairy industry emphasized
is successful where one-crop agriculture has led
farm operators into hard times. But the 1898
average for himself and the members of his fam
lily does not represent all that the Steele county
farmer has. Most often he OWNS his farm or Is
having little trouble, If he is average in effic-
iency and management, in paying for it in fair
sized installments. Many farmers have made a
sufficient capital from their farms SO that they
have been able to sell or rent their farms and
move to Owatonna or some of the villages of the
county or go to California and retire from ac-
tive life.
OF course where farmers stake everything on
one crop like wheat, and there is an overpro-
duction in the country, the farmer does not do
so well. He does not come out even, let alone
make a living. The only certain way for a far
mer to make a success one year after another is
to diversity his production. 1t is only on special
occasions that he can make a killing on single
crop production.
1t is a safe rule to follow, that when every
body is growing wheat it is a good time to grow
something else.

Eliminating Isolation

Isolation a Fallacy

In connection with the report that American
tourists will spend $700,00O,0O0 in Europe this
year, it can with propriety and truthfulness be
stated that this fact is just one more proof that
the theory of American isolation and ~aloofness
from the affairs of Europe is a fallacy. Simply
theory for in reality there has been neither iso-
lation nor aloofness.
We are no more isolated now than we have
been all the time since the Revolution. We are
no more isolated from Europe than we are from
Asia. We are isolated from Europe more than
from South America in only one respective
have set up the doctrine that territorial aggres.
sion by a trans-oceanic nation against one of the
South American nations will be looked upon as
an act of unfriendliness toward the United
States. We set that doctrine up for our own
protection-not for any purpose of isolation.
The theory which certain inter-nationalists
have disseminated that the United States is iso-
lated, is q fallacy. 1t is Misrepresentation. 1t
is a SANDER against the United States. 1t is pol,
itical buncombe.
The United States is not isolated, never has
been and never will be.
But we are not making any Supreme sacrl-
fees as proposed by Mr.. Wilson.

MIR. Hull's Bull

Chairman Hull of the Democratic national
scores the farmer relief legislation
enacted by the Republicans in the last congress
Mr.. Hull's criticism is not well-directed. 1t is
true that Republican votes put the farm relief
program through, but only after it had been
passed and approved by all of those who were
most active as the farmers friends. The so
called farm bloc" in congress took a leading
part in initiating and perfecting that legislation
and 1t represented the concensus of opinion Of
all those who had the best interests of the farm
ers at heart.
So when Mr.. Hull a~rraigns the Republicans
for their farm legislation he brings an indict-
ment against all those who have been aiding
the farmers welfare.
1t is unlikely that the farmers will reject those
who have been working for them in the past,
merely because of the partisan attacks of Mr..
Hull.

The automobile has proved n godsend to the

marked revival of interest in such events, when

Timely Suggestions on
Management of Horses


In years gone by, hay was cheap
and it was wastefuliy used. The same
thing is true now on some farms.
Hay is worth too much to be used
for bedding or wasted in any other
way. Another waste is in not cutting
In proper manner. The results are
that it does not give the best returns
or Is refused when fed
Where there are many horses to be
fed and each driver feeds his own
team, there Is a considerable loss Of
both hay and grain In such cases.
there should be only one feeder and
each horse fed according to his needs
and no feed wasted. Experience
proves that more economical results
are secured than when each driver
feeds his own team.
Other forms of waste are ill-fitting
harness, especially collars, causing
sore necks and shoulders and sween-
les. Badly kept feet are often the
cause of much discomfort. Horses,
to work well, must be free of pain and
comfortable.
Abuse and mistreatment result In
high feed bills. High checks, espe-
cially the overdraw, and bits that
pinch, are a constant worry and
should not be used on the ordinary
horse. When three or more horses
are driven abreast, sometimes they
are not placed right in the team so as
to work most comfortably together,
and then again they are refined in
such a way as to place some of them
at a disadvantage and cause worry.
After the driver has learned his
horses he should arrange them so that
they can work in free, easy manner
and always be comfortable. In using
heavy horses at hauling, the size of
the load should be increased rather
than the number Of trips made. Urg-
ing them beyond a reasonably rapid
walk can be done only at the expense
Of feed
The teeth should receive proper at
tention. Sometimes they are in such
