FARM FURROWS. Farmer and Stockman. Oil the machinery when putting it away, and thus prevent the ravages of rust for over half of the year. Fighting fire with fire never. ex- tinguishes it, does it? Neither will a whiplash ever take the fear, or even a part of it, out of a frightened horse, The poultryman who tries to run the poultry business without a snug, well-lighted scratching shed, may. be likened unto a sea captain attempting to sail a vessel without a rudder. If the boys and girls are compelled to lug their bouks to and from school without any bag or book strap in which to carry them, you can’t rea- sonably blame the children if the books soon become soiled, damaged, and even ruined. If the farmer would do more “‘grading’’ both as to size and fitness, in the hog lot before beginning to feed for the market, he would feed less, have more uniform herds, and realize more clear profits from his sales of swine. Whether you are planning to keep the boys out of school every few days to help you with some job of work about the farm, or whether you are making all preparations for them ‘to attend every day of school, will very largely decide the interest and prog- ress they make in the schoolroom this winter. A neighbor asked me recently if I knew where he could get a good hired man. ‘I’m getting pretty tired of cheap men,” said he, “and now I want a man with brains instead of re- enforced concrete in his head.”’ i .

We can check this drain on our profits simply by feeding, butchering and curing our own meats —and we can do it as well as the as the packers. Turn the boys loose on the spar- rows—if there are any boys and any sparrows. Here in this country there are plenty of sparrows on ey- ery farm, if there are no boys, and plenty if there‘are. A little shooting will drive the sparrows away from the buildings, even if the marksman- ship is poor. They are a nuisancetin every building on the farm, from the hog house to the barn. When doctors disagree the patient doesn’t know where he is ‘‘at.” Likewise when two good stock feed- ers disagree on the value of any grain or feed, the seeker after infor- mation knows no more than he did. I lately had occasion to quiz a coup- le of feeders on the value of kaffir corn. One thought it great stuff, es- pecially for horses, while the other pronounced it worth less than half that of common corn. Both have fed itfor a number of years, yet their opinion of it differs by at least 50 per cent. A neighbor claims that strong sun- light will kill the germ of alfalfa seed. He says he once had _ two sackfuls-in his granary. for several weeks, one of the sacks where sunlight ‘struck it through the window. The seed from this sack, so he tells me, showed less than 30 per cent of a stand, while the other seed grew perfectly. He be- lieves the sunlight coming in through the window. and being intensifed somewhat by the glass killed the business.

The work of caring for them is usual- ly left to the women folks or left un- til other work is not pressing. This is not as it should be. Fruit and gar- den truck furnish a good share of what most of us are working for. It may be possible that the people who live in the cities enjoy life more than we do on the farm, but it is a’ good thing for ofir country that so many of us can’t see things that way. In making a comparison, however, it is well not to compare the life of the independently rich in the eity with those who are fighting a heavy mort- gage on their farm. There seems to be an unusual num- ber of renters looking for farms this Aside from the usual number there are quite a number of those who went into the wheat-raising coun- try a few years ago who have re- turned to get asecond start. Usually it is this second start that shows the kind of grit a person has in his make- I can remember when duck hunting was dearer to me than anything else. Though I had nothing but an old musket or “Zulu,’’ I could get more ducks when a kid than I could get now with the best six shooter made. A boy has the patience, for one thing, to crawl upon a flock of ducks, and he also has no better sense than to crawl for forty rods through mud and slush, if necessary, in order to make a successful sneak on a flock. done that very trick myself in my boyhood days, but I wouldn’t do it now for fear of being laid up with rheumatism for a week.
