RESOURCES - an unreliable lantern is in line with rocking the boat or fooling with a gu that is not loaded. : A neighbor who transacts a good deal of business has an office fitted up in his home, and while visiting hanging on his desk which read: Ihave thought of that motto every morning since, when my old alarm clock started buzzing at five o’clock.

Fur- Always has Farm Mortgages : E FARM FURROWS. Farmer and Stockman If one man could rule the weather and he tried to please all, our weath- er would not be much different from what it is. For instance, last week it snowed. That pleased some, some didn’t want it to snow at all, while others wanted it to snow more than it did. Running an engine in cold weather is not always a picnic. A steam en- gine means constant care to prevent pipes or hose from freezing over- night, while the gasoline engine is of- ten hard to start on a cold morning. A teakettle of hot water poured on the mixer or carburetor is often a: cure for the cold weather ill. When: a man does the same thing wrong twice in succcession no one ought to pity him, but how about it when a wrong one year is right the next? I think this way about deep cultivation of corn. Some years it’s the thing, some years it’s all wrong. Everything seems to go wrong when you have the stovepipe down to clean it. Just asI started such a job, the other day, all the hogs broke out. WhenI gotthem back in and the fence fixed and only nicely inter- ested again in the stovepipe job, in drove a couple of preachers. Last night a neighbor told me his way of removing a large evergreen, and he said it would grow in its new location nine times out of ten. First of all, he digs a hole four feet across where he wants the tree to set, and as deep as necessary. Then, just be- fore a freeze-up, he goes to the ever- green to be removed and cuts around it just the size of the hole already dug. When frozen solid he pries up with bars and sets in the hole pro- vided for it. As the ground thaws he tamps solidly and then mulches with old hay. * A German friend of mine is a great | believer in the use of commercial fer- tilizers. He says they used to put a 4b ‘farmers and business not loan its funds to its as welcome which is entrusted to . est confidence.

He says the fertilizer would always make a crop two weeks earlier than where no fertilizers were used. Next season he will try fertilizer for the first time on potatoes in this country. I have a neighbor who grinds for an hour or so every morning, to feed a bunch of steers. He uses a water- cooled gasoline engine, and as soonas | he stops he runs out the warmed wa- ter and uses itin his slop barrel. The} way the hogs go after that warmed slop, he says, is good to see. To save time is one of the things we are all striving for. I have a neighbor who wanted to buy 1,000 bushels of corn. Instead of taking it ina load at a time from neighbors who have corn to sell, he went to the elevator and bought 1,000 bushels, shelled, and hauled it himself. He! says he saved time, while his neigh- bors would rather haul to the elevator in town, where the load is dumped and there is a chance to chat awhile. When a pumping engine replaces a windmill that has stood for yesrs, it! looks as though something were miss- | ing from the place. It is quite pos-) sible that the old windmill landmarks will be missing altogether in a few years. | As long as it takes only one day to change our good roads into bad ones, | we will have the good roads question with us. Grading and draining are great helps, but most of-us are will- ing to let the other fellow dothe work and pay the bills while we pat them on the back and tell them what good fellows they are. Weare having steady, cold weather, but the absence of snow rather dulls the cutting edge of the wind and is| shortening the feeding season, a thing that is welcomed in this section be- cause there is a shortage in the hay |crop compared withiast year. — It is a great deal easier to do the | chores where there is a barn large enough to hold all the feed and cattle so that everything can be done inside, than where the buildings call for a great deal of outside work especially on stormy days. But this should not prevent those who have no barns from doing their level best. Most of those who have modern barns went through a pretty siege of disagreeable work before they got them. Most of us have learned that we | must feed our cows welland take good care of them in order to have them produce enough to pay us for their feed and our work in caring for them. When we learn to regard our fields as something that must be fed and cared for instead of a mine we’ will be better farmers. Every landlord and tenant should read and study the printed parts of their contract before signing. They two excuses, the first being sickness | and the second a most whopper of al crop. No blame can be attached to} the weather. Not long ago I heard a party of| farmers discussing this question: “Who pays a town’s tax, the people | of the town or the farmers who trade | there??? A decision was finally ; reached that where the town was| supported wholly by farmers, farm- | ers it was who paid the town’s tax. | Sounds mighty reasonable to me. It} is not the town that makes the farm- | ers, but the farmers who make the | town, Not many days ago, before the} ground froze up, I saw a man out} plowing a fire-guard, the first fire- | guard plowing I have seen done in| years. guards early in the fall, and then the tumble-weeds would sometimes make | our guards useless.
