Bound by Best Roads. “While admitting disappointment at not having had their routes des- ignated as part of the Jefferson high- way, the men behind the new Scenic highway say that public opinion fa- vorable to through routes has been aroused by the Jefferson rivalry and that all Northern Minnesota will be bound by the best roads that can be made.

From Detroit to Osakis the section traversed is studded with scores of beautiful lakes.” Farm profits are on such a high level today as to assure success to nearly all who make agriculture their vocation. Land ownership is making a strong appeal to city, business men and to thousands who wish to remove from town to country. The number of small farms is rapidly increasing, and people are learning to make a few acres yield a comfortable living in- come. Three years ago it was thought the limit had been reached in the cost of farm commodities, but there has hard- 1y been a pause in the upward trend of prices, especially since the Euro- pean war began. Many articles are now at the highest point ever known in the history of American agriculture, Meat, cheese, corn, wheat, beans, fruits, canned goods and produce gen- An ice cream social will be held Thursday evening for the benefit of St. Philip’s Catholie church, on the south lawn of the church if the weather is favorable; otherwise in the basement of the church.—Adv. 2a727 SMALL FARMS ARE RAPIDLY INCREASING. erally if not at the very top notch ever recorded are certainly on the highest general level ever known. CURING CLOVER HAY. Some Timely Advice as to the Best Modern Methods. So many farmers have a wrong idea of curing clover hay that the follow- ing advice of Director Brooks of the Massachusetts station is timely: Good weather is essential for the satisfactory making of clover hay, as In some cases the price is still mounting, and, while the result is more or less burdensome to city peo- ple, farmers who are properly equip- ped’are coining money. The opportu- nity is theirs, snd if they are not reaping liberal profits it is owing to misfortune or faulty management. Not only are prices uniformly high, but there is every indication that they will remain so. It is not the war alone that has brought about this situ- ation. The rapid and enormous growth of cities all over the country explains the continual and urgent call for farm commodities. Formerly pro- ducers were in the majority, but to- day they are only about 40 per cent of the population. "Men see new op- portunities in farming, but back of the profits of this vocation there is shown a general unrest in the citles. There is widespread dissatisfaction with the hardships of life in a me- tropolis. The larger a town becomes the more onerous are the conditions of life among the poor and middle class people. Day laborers who have no permanent employment may be compelled to stick to city life, but men in other walks who have been prudent enough to save a few thou- sand dollars can, in a majority of cases, see a way to better themselves by taking land and moving to the country. A proportion of these peo- ple may locate so as to retain employ- ment or business in town while keep- ing their families in the country. This Is an ideal plan for those who are able to adopt it. The high rate of farm profits enables landowners to pay liberal wages, and a general betterment of conditions af- fecting hired men has been brought about. Wages in the country are the best ever known, the working day has been shortened, and ‘thé whole situa- tion as young people look at it has been improved. . Therefore there is an increased willingness on the part of single men to take employment in the agricultural districts. Perhaps the ex- odus of workmen from town to coun- try will more than equal that of fam- illes who are going back to the land. All financial men, railroad officials, statesmen and others whose business fits them to form intelligent opinions on the subject do not hesitate to ad- vise young men to settle down as farm- ers. Whether they become landown- ers or gimply work for wages, they are doing'a wise thing when they locate in the country. Carefulinquiry through the central west reveals that there are many openings for young laboring men who wish employment as farm hands. The average rate of pay is not under $30 a month. In many cases experi- enced men who show qualifications as managers recelve much more than this. Perhaps the most common rate of payment in Illinois is $35 a month and board. As there are fewer temp- tations to squander money in the coun- try than in the city young men find that they are able to save about eight- tenths of their earnings. The belief is commonly expressed that as these facts are spread among city toilers the move- ment to the rural districts will grow, especially as young men come to re- alize that they can count on the ele- ment of permanency in farm life. it is, indeed, for the satisfactory mak- ing of any hay, but far more impor- tant in the case of the clovers than for timothy on account of the fact that the clovers need much more drying. The best hour in the day for cutting, as it appears to me, is late in the after- noon. Whatever the hour, it is essential to keep in mind the fact that in the cur- ing of clover hay it should be bandled but little after it begins to dry. It is generally well understood that too much handling as the crop -dries re- sults in the breaking off of the leaves and heads, which are the most valua- ble portion of the crop. Whatever the hour of cutting, then, the fact should be kept in mind that this crop should be tedded but little in curing. If cut late in the afternoon the crop may be tedded once the following afternoon. If the weather is part®ularly fine it will then be ready to rake and put into cocks late in the afternoon of the same day. If the clover is curing more slowly it may be best to leave it in windrows over one night and to turn these carefully with the fork the next forenoon and to cock on the afternoon of the second day after cutting. The use of hay caps in curing clover hay should be more general. It is de sirable to leave the clover in the cock for a fiumber of days, sometimes as long as a week. The hay is coarse, and if exposed to rain it is badly dam- aged unless the cocks are protected by caps. When examination shows that the clover in the coek is apparently cured it should be slightly.opened and turned up from the bottom on the fore- noon of a good day. It will then be ready to put in in the afternoon. Clover hay cured in this manner should hold substantially all its leaves and heads and should cure of a Lright green color. Such clover is one of the most valuable forage crops, whether for cattle, sheep or horses, Well cured clover bay, popular opin- lon to the.contrary notwithstanding, is a safe and valuable food for horses, which will need much less grain when fed such hay than timothy bay is used. Cold Water Always Ready. Those whose homes are supplied with running water and who keep ice can have cold water always ready by run- ning the water through the ice box, says the Household. Coil the water pipe around and around until it fits the bottom of the box. Make two holes in the ice box, one in the back and one in the front.
