Farmer and Stockman * Teachers in country schools com- plain that telephone service increases the chance for discord in school mat- ters. When the children go home will, the mothers talk about it the ‘next day over the telephone, and it soon gets spread over the entire dis- trict. Sometimes this leads to “‘tak- ing sides,"’ and never does the story lose any of its color by several repe- titions. Lately I have been having a trial, | keeping a pair of overgrown, ambi- tious colts inside a hedge fence. For a substantial fence I have given up hedge asa bad job; it looks pretty when kept well trimmed, but it is work to trim ‘it, and when stock find they can bulge through they always do it at an opportune time. The next time I build a machinery shed, it will have a cement floor, and there will be no sill to lift,over. As far as arranging a machinery shed so machines do not have tovbe moved around after putting in, that is impos- sible, for one cannot plan it so but ‘what the very machine he wants is back of all the rest, and if the floor is of cement one man can do as much as three can moving over dirt. The man who is not likable and the woman who is not lovable belong in | the class of foreordained failures. | How happy is the fat hog whose ; owner does not rout him out of bed very early these cold mornings. I al- most envy his hogship. I notice that one of the charges {against the “‘sugar trust’ is that it | shut down some factories which it ob- | which it did. tained. Agricola knows of one factory There were four fac- tories in one town and the farmers would not grow enough beets for more than three. One was closed and the other three handled all the beets, One of the three is owned by |the trust, one by individual owners, and the third is a co-operative factory owned by the patrons. | The factory which was shut down was later dismantled of its machinery which was shipped to another state and a new factory built and kept run- |ning at a loss of three years by the |trust before it was well enough es- | \tablished to become a paying venture. ||| It is now one of the defendants in the prosecution by the government. If lump jaw isn’t contagious, it seems mighty queer to me. For years I have noticed that when one ‘animal in the herd has it, more are almost sure to follow. There are now so many prepared medicines on |the market that are successful in the treatment of lump jaw that it is not the calamity it‘once was to have the best cow in the herd suddenly develop {lump jaw symptoms. I find it not difficult to cure when taken in good time, and the sooner after discovered | the easier it is. Mrs. Furrows has put in for some new clothesline posts, and I have ;been wondering if I could make a |success of them out of cement, re- enforced with heavy wire. If anyone |has tried it, will they kindly give the |unitiated the benefit of the experience |gained? It seems to be about as hard \to keep a woman’s clothesline in re- |pair as it does to keep a man in de- pendable suspenders. I know a man who went into court to prevent the town from condemning some of his land for road purposes. Most remarkable, however, was fhe fact that he owned a cheese factory and the road, as planned, was sure to bring him a large financial benefit over the loss sustained. But he forced the town to pay a very high price for the road. The same man also conceived a grudge against his Swiss who will fan his cow with the milking stool. It isn't always the smokestack of an engine that sets stacked grain on fire. The ash pan is often twice as dangerous. I know of a case where with tales of woe, as children usually | Separator was drawn between two | stacks and sparks from the defective ash pan of the traction engine caused | a fire loss of several hundred dollars. I am beginning to realize more and more that big pastures are not eco-) nomical. If they are put under the | plow and some good crop is raised while the cattle are fed silage or soiled in summer, the income of a farm can | be very largely increased. | The chairman of our next town-! ship has a gravel pit which is almost | as good as a good mine. He charges! fifty cents for every load hauled away | and judging from the stream of teams always leaving the pit, the half |plunk pieces must be rolling in at a | merry rate. The proprietor of the forty right, next the man with the gravel pit is almost as lucky. He has a deep bed | of the finest brick clay, and already, the output of the kilns erected has | grown into large proportions.
