Steckman Those who attended “a farmers’ short course will have a chance to learn some book farming, also a few things that are not written in_ books. When everything is taken into con- sideration the most expensive water system on any farm is the one where it is necessary to cuta hole through the ice every day in order to let the cattle and horses slake their thirst. Farmers as a class are usually re- garded as honest, almost too honest sometimes, but occasionally one falls by the wayside. Not long since I read of one who made a _ practice of mixing lard with his milk in order to increase the test for butter fat. Any- one who can steal like that ought to be in the class with those “higher up.” “He who runs may read,’’ but the one who wishes to keep up with the times must be able to both run and read to his own advantage. It may be that some winters are open at both ends, but generally they are long and pretty tight through the middle. Ihave made several tests of my seed corn for next year. The poor- est result was from the butts of the ears, 51 per cent. The best results from corn picked at husking time was 83 and 86 per cent. Early picked seed and corn taken from the shock was more nearly perfect. The prizes offered by the different corn contests are worth trying for and the best part of it is that if any- one does his best to raise prize win- ning corn the increase in-his corn crop will sometimes be worth more | “| than all the prizes in any one contest put together. Before many moons the census tak |of questions about our business.- He will want to know all we know about | our business and will ask for some things we do not know. Some of us will be liable to think that he is ask- ing for things that is none of his busi- ness. The government officials have dis- | covered a “‘leak’’ in the sugar’ barrel | where millions of dollars in revenues were lost. The news of such leak is | | interesting to taxpayers whether they | pay direct or indirect taxes. Perhaps they will take a day off and hunt} more leaks. I am always impressed by the ami- ability of well-bred animals. I have} many times put the harness on aj draft colt for the first time and have had him hitched to the wagon or to} the disk in two or three hours. Re- cently I had occasion to ship a two- year-old pure-bred bull and I had to haul him nine miles ina sleigh.

The best part of it is, I help to-raise some of that corn, oats and wheat and practically every reader of this paper assists also. A few dozen eggs goa long ways towards paying the grocery bill now, the woman makes a few go a long ways in the kitchen and it takes a long time for the hens to lay a few. I never was so favorably impressed with the winter use of the road drag as I was the other day, when riding over a road that had been dragged smooth just before the freeze. For three weeks this road was smooth as a floor, while undragged roads were as rough as the highway to wealth. Conclusions sometimes reached by city farm writers are often amusing. In attempting to prove that every farmer lost a great deal by not pas-; turing his stalk fields, one of the city | pen pushers wrote that even the most | careful husker left from two to five bushels of grain in the field behind! him for every acre husked.? | It is a good idea not to be against anything you know nothing about. Investigation should come before prejudice, I once heard a farmer say he wouldn’t give five cents a dozen for the best automobiles made. A} short time ago he rode two miles in one. Now he expects to buy one as soon ashe sells the next bunch of hogs. The other day I saw a man dump- ing manure on his field in small piles. Next spring, shortly before plowing, he will go out wtth a fork and spread |that manure, His idea in piling is to keep the manure from leaching away. If it should leach, where would it go? Into the soil, where wanted. Piling manure may be all right on steep | hillsides, where the drain goes to an- other's land, or in a sandy, windy country, but there’s no excuse forit on comparatively level, clay land. If we could all conform our desires to the size of our pocketbooks what a! contented world this would be! And would it not also become a_ lazy} world? | The ordinary way to break an egg! is to hit against another egg or over | the edge of the mixing bowl and let! the contents stream over the side of the shell, without considering wheth- | er the latter is clean or not, says an agricultural department bulletin. But! even if there is no visible dirt, the shell may not be as clean as it seems, | for it may have come froma dirty nest or have been untidily handled-} Eggs should, therefore, always be washed hefore breaking. | Beef is so high now that the cow no longer prides herself on having jumped over the moon.

Kirksville, Mo., Jan. 10.—Ten cows belonging to Carl Gherke, a farmer four miles southeast of Kirksville, gave 450,000 pounds of milk last year. From this milk 2,664 pounds of but- ter was made, which brought the owner of the cows $821.09. The cows consumed $407.31 worth of feed dur- ing the year, leaving Mr. Gherke a net profit of $413.78. But enough butter, cream and milk was taken out of the amount furnished by the herd to supply a family of four per- sons and the skimmed milk and ma- nure brought enough to pay for the labor in caring for the cows and mak- ing the butter. Mr. Gherke says that he had only eight cows during the summer and that four of the total ten were 2-year-old heifers. Gherke isa German. He came to the United States when he wag 13 years old. He said that he lived long enough in Germany to learn that a cow was the most valuable thing on the farm and that a good farmer thinks almost as much of his cow as he does of his wife.
