If you had a member of your family very sick, or if you had a case in court where all your savings were at stake, would you hire an old quack doctor to attend their wants? or an old petty- fogging lawyer to look after your interests? No, you would cer- tainly employ the best physician or the best attorney available. The same rule should hold good in the hiring of an auctioneer, as he is your agent on sale day and you have little to say asto how your earnings shall be disposed of. It always pays to hire the best.

FARM FURROWS. | Farmer and Stockman | Acity resident was complaining to la farmer about the high price of eggs, the latter being asked if he considered there was any possible solution to the problem. To this, he replied: ‘The only way is to induce the agricultural department to get busy and make two cocks crow where only one crew before. “s4 It is rather common to see a farmer riding in his own automobile, but if they begin investing in airships it will look as if they were flying rather high. The dairyman who has a good sup- ply of forage and feed and a bunch of good dairy cows to feed it to will strike a pay streak this winter. King Winter has a well-known way of punishing those who do not make ample provision for his annual visit. It is all right to have a pet calf or a pet cow, but a pet bull is like a pet stick of dynamite. * The salesman can easily claim that he has a fence that is horse high, pig tight and bull strong, but the buyer usually finds that it takes a lot of hard work to put it up so that it will stand the actual test. Hunting for a leak in a gasoline tank with a lantern is about the last |thing anyone should think of doing, and, to tell the truth, it usually is. A writer in the comic columns re- fers to the non-laying hen asa suf- fragette. Some people can make their living by making funny com- parisons. A friend of mine in town bought a pound of butterine the other day and the grocer sent the coloring matter along in a little bottle. The pure food law that is all right and it pro- tects the innocent, but there never yet wasa law, but there was a way | of getting around it. Serving on a jury isn’t hard work, but it does disclose the fact that there are lots of stubborn men in the world. The last time I was on a jury there were eleven stubborn men, and they wouldn’t agree with me, so we had to report ‘‘no verdict.”’ Some of these new-styled conund- rums the young folks are springing nowadays are certain silly." The lat- est I've heard is this: ‘Why should we die, if we must all be born again?” One reason why Thanksgiving comes before Christmas is that it wouldn’t be possible for a man to be so thankful after he’d seen all the Christmas bills. Ido not like to, deliver myself of in- vective or vituperation, but I believe I would rather enjoy helping to hang some ef the men whose function in life is to work the earth roads. The contract for caring for several miles ofroad in our township is let toa man who seems to enjoy tearing up the center of the highway. Upon the slightest provocation, he will pull in sods from the .sides. and place them in the center, thereby making the road spongy during the whole year.

SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., New York I have never held to that view. I have in mind a young man who grad- uated from one of those institutions last year, and it’s no uncommon thing to find him husking out 120 bushels of corna day. Just as soon as our agricultural educational insti- tutions get a few thousands of such fellows as that on their graduating list, they will come into their own in the matter of reputation. There are a great many agricultural problems that have been solved for all time, even though our experiment stations are still pegging away on them. I will simply point out one of these. It is an absolute fact that you can always make.cheaper gains in fat- tening hogs if you use some by-prod- uct like oil meal, tankage or mid- dlings along with corn than you can with pure corn. A bulletin publish- ed recently by the Ohio station shows that by feeding tankage one can make gains practically for two-thirds of the price of making them with straight corn. The owner of a large city dray line told me the other day that he did not believe electricity or gasoline would ever take the place of the draft horse for heavy drayage purpose in our cities. Ido not know of another instance where a given expenditure of money will give so much satisfaction as an investment in a few good farm gates. A man has no idea how often he opens and shuts his gates until they get out of order, then he begins to feel that he is spending most of his time performing that humble task. They say that the ‘average yield of the potato crop in this country is ninety-seven bushels per acre, while in Germany the average is 260 bush- els per acre. We haven’t the facts and figures at hand relating to the yield in Ireland, but we presume that it would be quite as large as the law allowed. $100 Reward, $100. quaintance with the farmers and stockmen and thoroughly posted on the value of your property and will get for you the best possible rice.

The Times is in receipt of the fol- lowing letter from T. M. Bradbury, of the Missouri Board of Railroad and Warehouse commission-/ For Benefit of Women who ers. Dear Sir:—The Board of and Warehouse Commissioners of Missouri now have before them the | swterer_4 question of the advisibility of adopt- ing uniform rules for grading grain similar to the rules in vogue in near- ly all the large markets of the coun- try, with special referencetto fixiug a grade on “Pacific Coast” or “Red Russias” wheat,’ which: at certain seasons of the year comes in com- petition with Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and Indian ‘‘Red”’ wheat, to the det- riment of the latter. In order that the Commissioners may have the fullest information pos- sible formal hearing of the above matter will be held at the Baltimore } \; Hotel, Kansas City Mo., Monday, No- vember 29th, 1909, 10 o’clock a. m., at which it is desired that representa- tives of all the milling and grain in- terests be in attendance. The above matter is important to farmers, the grain producers of the State, and if you care to give it gen- eral circulation through the columns of your paper the Commissioners wish to say that everybody will be welcothe and they will be more pleas- ed the more the people of the State join with them in securing action which will be of the greatest benefit to all concerned. Thanking you for whatever disposition you may make, lam Yours truly, T. M. Bradbury Secretary. The School and the Farm. “Missouri is a state of many and varied resources, but is first of all an agricultural state. On Missouri farms are 282,840 families. Thousands of others derive their livihood indirectly fromthe soil. Yet, importantas isag- riculture, there had'until recently been comparatively no attention given to its study, even in country schools. Too often is it true that our country boys and girls are being educated. ay from the farm instead of for it.” The foregoing is a bulletin, ‘The School and the Farm,” recently issu- ed by the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, and which may be had free by addressing, Geo. B. Ellis, Secretaay, Columbia, Mo. The bul- letin is intended primarily for those engaged in work in rural schools, but will doubtless be read with interest by others. The author explains that by the term “rural schools’’ is meant “not only the schools in extremely rural districts, but also those in vil- lages and small towns which draw: largely on the adjacent country for pupils and financial support.” “Failure to take up the teaching of agriculture in some form,” writes the author, “‘has not heretofore meant that the teacher has been at fault. Local conditions may have been such as to have made it unwise to under- take the work.
