I plan now to write these furrows when the weather is disagreeable for outside work. An auctioneer tells me he is apt to have a better sale on a disagreeable day than on a fair one. He says} many assume that the crowd is going to be small on a stormy day and that) stuff will sell cheap, pecting to find bargains. A most peculiar thing happened near here not long ago. A family from a nearby town were out driving | with their steady old family horse. so they go ex-| One of the main reasons why the “back to the farm’’ cry falls on such unheeding ears is because so many of those who have left their farm sold it to get the wherewith to set them- selves up in town and now they have no farm to go back to. Our mail carrier is still using his | motor cycle in making his daily trips. That is he used it to-day, but to-mor- row it is possible that he must hitch | | to his cutter and plug along at a slow- er gait. It seems rather pleasant to have the |field work finished and have some time to pick things up about the farm | before snow comes. A straw stack makes good shelter for a bunch of hogs, because they are A Poor Weak Woman As she is termed, will endure bravely and patiently agonies which a strong man would give way under.

This indicates just how scarce sheep are in many sec- tions of the corn belt. Of course not exposure, but fresh air makes youngsters healthy. A friend, the father of twelve children, writes me that his children that were allowed to run as free as the chickens | often going through a | were healthy, long winter without a cold. It is the unventilated room that breds colds | and grippe. The world certainly does move. Now with the power elevator to put the corn in the crib and the extension elevator to the corn sheller, little ed with ice, we could have our own | fresh meat through the summer. An electric lighting plant is becom- ing a common thing on a good many farms. The electric light has always | struck me as being perfection as far as light itself is concerned, while its absolute safety makes it the very best for everywhere, in the barn as well asin the house. Its first cost is all | that can be said against it, since actu- al operating expenses are next to nothing. | The most annoying bird that has lately taken up its residence around my premises is the redheaded wood- {pecker. Three or four of them ap- | peared all of a sudden and immediate- lly began operations on about every | building on the place. The redhead- ed woodpecker in flight is the envy of the most expert aviator, in aerial twists, turnsand tumbles, and it is lit- tle more than chance if one can be shot. Many a schoolhouse is patched with tin around the eaves where the woodpecker has committed depreda- tions through the season of vacation. A friend of mine who had plenty of pasture last spring bought steers at a high price to eat the grass, now says he will be satisfied if his loss per head amounts to no more than $5. Steers were high last spring—no denying that—but it does seem like something Talk about progress, I know a town house of their own if given plenty of straw for material, but cattle and horses need to be well housed in or- der to be comfortable on cold, stormy nights, When ice begins to form on the water tank it is time to put the tank heater into use unless you have a better way of supplying the cattle and horses with drinkable water. Cement floors for dairy barns are |easily kept clean and when properly ;made are very durable, but unless ithey are covered with bedding they make a rather hard, cold bed for the cows. The pleasant weather this fall is making it possible to let the cattle When the price of farm produce is nearly doubled from the time it leaves the farmer's hands until . it reaches | the “ultimate consumer,’’ it is al pretty safe bet that someone is mak- ing an easy living by passing a good | thing along. | A shop in which a farmer can work | at odd jobs, such as harness mending and the like, and in which to keep the small tools on the farm, is almost a necessity. Machinery is getting to be more complicated every day, and it takes} a man with his head in the game to! operate some of it. The fellow who) can’t understand the mechanism of a dash churn had better not take up farming as an occupation. Some men bear the same relation to their fellows that a nubbin bears to the ‘‘show’’ ear—they’re not in it. | Ona frosty morning when I turn} out to do the chores at four o’clock by lantern light I can’t see but what I’m just as active as I was forty years ago. | I have an old sow or two that are} not growing old very gracefully and unless a change for the better is soon noticeable there’ll be more sausage in our home this winter than we first planned on. I just can’t bear a horse that kicks at you every time he takes a notion. | Some people don’t mind it, but it gets rather pleasant work and everyone is |land all this winter. and its temperature is about right for drinking. “A fool and his money are soon parted” isa wise saying, but some fools put their money in a sack and hide it in such a way that it is of about as much use as a sack of peb- bles. Money is a good thing to have, but a better thing to spend if some judgment is used. Last spring a neighbor told me his disk cultivator, used when laying by | the crop the year before, made a dif- ference of four or five bushels to the | ‘acre in the yield, in favor of the disk, and go I tried it this year—one disk | and one shovel plow’ Iam frank to i The Worth of Manure. If the fertility contained in the man- ure produced by one average dairy cow in one year were purchased in the form of commercial fertilizer, it would | cost between $25 and $30. So a herd | of twenty dairy cows brings the own- er $500 or $600 worth of fertilizer ev- ery year. These are facts gotten from chem- ical analysis and practical experiment. | When every farmer realizes the| value of manure, we will see little of it lying in piles under the eaves of the barn, where it is permitted to heat, | or the rain is allowed to leach out the | strength. | near Osceola, how barnyard manure is appreciated on his farm.
