Those who shocked their corn in haste will repent at leisure. What is usually considered a good stand of corn was a little too much of a good thing this year on account of the drouth, but this should not dis- courage those who have learned the value of perfect seed corn. We can only do our best and let the weather do the rest. A poultry house twenty feet square is none too large where seventy-five to a hundred hens are kept for a farm flock. If the hen is to act as the store bill lifter and to furnish the family with eggs and roast chicken for the table she is entitled to the best of care. A couple of years ago the farmer was accused of being the cause of the high cost of living. He, however, We hear less about cornstalk dis- ease now than we did a few years ago, but no one should become care- less enough to turn a bunch of hungry. It’s a good idea to wait on the corn until you are sure it is safe to be cribbed, but not to wait any longer. The bright November day is golden to the man who has corn yet to crib, even if the corn may not be golden in color. golden in value this year, It seems to me that every year brings along a new worry in an agri- cultural way, something that will eventually “eat us alive’’ if we do not straightway put itdown. I heard aman say, the other day, that the foxtail grass would eventually drive him out of a house and home if he could not conquer it. That is. his worry now. It is no new one to me. Popcorn, peanuts and apples are three things my appetite has never grown away from. I like all three now as well as when I had to stay at home from school on cold days be- cause I was too young to ‘‘stand the cold.”’ The hardest things to get done is the thing you put off to do a little later, “when you have more time.’ Quite often road work is this very thing.

I plan to have something else to do when a white frost is hanging heavy in the cornfield. WhenI was a lad white frosts didn’t bother me as much as now, but even then it was anything but pleasant to roll out before sunrise and husk for a couple of hours in the white frost. When I was a lad, too, there was no such thing as cheap cotton gloves, as there is now. Mother used to make finger stalls for us boys to wear on the sorest fingers, and it was_sur- prising what a number of them we would go through with in a short time, especially after husking steady for two or three weeks. I never have seen the like of the foxtail that. has made seed this fall. After the rains came it made a mar- velous seed crop. Stems not two inches high have seed heads to equal any larger plant, and the heads are unusually well filled with seed. It is becoming one one of the worst pests we have, and is playing havec in our pastures. Nothing in the way of grass can compete with it after July. Horses are cheaper and well in- formed horsemen believe they are going to be still cheaper between now and the time when the spring demand begins. When we speak of cheap horses it almost always means the then the road officials straightway pay no attention to the time designat- ed. We have so many laws that are not enforced that it is no wonder many of the more important are ignored and the transgressors except acquittal. A runaway team is a poor one to hook to the husking wagon. I have had my share of runaways, some of them in the cornfield, but I will not hitch a runaway horse to anything I have. A runaway horse is gotten off the farm as fast as he can gotoa buyer. Some men deal in runaway horses. MAY PROVE FATAL ee tee | When Will Butler People Learn the Importance of It?

A good draft horse always sells for a good price, even when “‘skates’”’ can hardly be given away.

As| this man has never believed in “pul-| ling cows’ teats for a living,” the| change is quite a radical one with! him. Something that pays the ‘bills/ at the stores comes in mighty handy, | even to the man who occasionally has cattle to sell by the carload. The towns are beginning to fill up | with fellows who must make their living by the work they get odd jobs and some of them are more anxious to tackle anything there is to be done than they were a few months ago. A coal dealer tells me he has no diffi-| culty in getting coal shovelers now, | and railroad companies are able to/| get “‘white’’ help on the section in case any of the Mexican or Greek la- borers quit. ‘ It seems to me that the number of young men who “‘don’t like to farm”’ is becoming more numerous each year.
