Says ---By A. B. Bryan

Ignorance is certainly not bliss in mod

as to better methods.
y
My primary aim this year will be bet
ter farm products at lower cost to insure
greater profits.
My New Year resolutions included
one about pure seed for bigger yields
and better quality products in 1886.
Mistakes ON paper are cheaper than
mistakes on land, so l am planning my
work by careful study and calculations.
A All Club boy and his new ideals
are not soon parted.
1t takes feed to make milk even from
superior cows.
My scrub livestock became infested
with parasites, so | got rid of the scrub
livestock.
Permanent prosperity is within the
reach of only the farmer who practices
permanent farming.

Numberless Southern farm families
have learned that chickens will help keep
the wolf from the door.

that the best security on earth is THE

Not everyone knows that the lowly
opossum is the only American marsupial,
which carries it's young in a pouch, but
it is a certainty that every country boy
and farmer has at one time or another
hunted this little fur bearer with dogs
at night.
The opossum is the most typical
Southern fur bearer, its name invariably
associated with hound dogs, darkies and
yams. 1t is omnivorous, nocturnal and
exceptionally prolific, having as many as
three litters of five to fifteen young a
year. Naturalists recognize three varle-
ties, named according to habitat, Vir-
ginia, Florida and Texas.
When | was boy on a Tennessee
farm, our best night hunting ''varmint"
dog was a mixture of shepherd and
bloodhound. He had the trailing abili-
ties of the hound, and would fight his
weight in wildcats. Many moonlight
hunts were enjoyed over the hills of
Tennessee; and "Old Shops" bark in

your mind-and every one fits perfectly.
Intelligent feedin' is one of the big
gest problems we have. TIL Scotch have
saying, GIVE steer gallon of meal
and it is gallon wasted. Give him two
and he will pay for three" We always
have to remember that it's only the feed
above the amount required to keep an
animal alive at normal weight that re-
turns profit.
And can't agriculture take losses and
still be the happiest and best business i'll
the world? Read one time that erosion
in this country destroys soil equivalent
to the total tillable area used for the
growing of crops in the entire nation
of Japan, and Japan feeds millions of
mouths. And some fellow figured out
that more than 8 1000 known species Of
insects are costing farmers each year
something like t1ro billion dollars
losses traceable to weeds amount to
three biUions-and add another billion
and half chargeable to plant diseases
and you have E billion 500 million dol
lars. Don't know what the erosion bill
is in dollars and cents-but we in the
farming fraternity ought to feel that we
are in pretty rich business to lose all
them billions every year and still have
some meat in the smokehouse.
And what a business it is of farming

come in 1885 was over billion dollars,
and net income billion dollars-about

variably meant game, for he was silent
trailer.
The opossum is father of the saying
"playing 'possum," for when overtaken
he will feign death, and, indeed, stand
considerable mauling from a dog before
coming to life" I've seen cruel boys
bring 'em to life bronto by sticking
lighted match to ones tail.
During my night hunting days, we
recognized two varieties, the regular size
weighing up to eight or ten pounds,
which came out soon after dark, and
small, dark furred sort we called mid
night 'possuns" because they were usu
ally taken about that time. The opos-
sum is especially fond of persimmons and
wild grapes, and hunters usually look tor
them where these wild fruits abound.
A fat opossum, properly dressed and
baked, fanked by sweet potatoes, is quite
delicious. In normal seasons postum
hides afford farm folk with spending
money. The fur is prime during the
months of November to February, in

Alex made it clear to me that the girl

Mr.. James M. Rae, of Medicine Hat,
Canada, is what | would call very
smart man as we'll as philosopher.
He wrote the other day asking for
sample copy of this publication. Along
with the letter, he enclosed a full-sized
sheet of white paper with these IS
words mimeographed in the center:
II had no shoes and complained
until net man who had no feet"
And now I'm just dying to know if
Mr. James NJ. Rae, of Medicine Hat,
is philosopher just for the JOY of being
one CT whether his IS words were placed
on the paper just to get me interested in
him-and perhaps later in something he

erty consulted the late Ben Posey, famed

Posey told him to file the usual sort
of suit, making the Almighty a party

At least, such will is on file in Cher

Did you ever see city teller IN your
life who did not say, "Wish | had a
farm where I could have my own cow
and raise me garden and some chick
ems? That's sorter like many of our
prayers-we re asking for things that if
given to us we wouldn't know what to
do with EN-. The ordinary city Teller
would starve, even if some one planted
his garden and cured his meat He'd
pull half the garden truck at the wrong
time, and couldn't cut slice of bacon
and he'd die of lonesomeness the first
long rainy spell.
It's sorter worrisome to see the loss
from the way manure is handled. Barn
yard manure spread on the fields during
the winter is worth seventy cents ton
more than when left and spread later.
Experiments over thirty years prove that
winter spreading increases corn yield
81 bushels, wheat q bushel and clover
hay by 400 pounds per acre. Guess if
only two farm machines could be select
ed, a manure spreader would come first
choice, then a rake.
