The recent spell of corn weather is causing folks to take notice that it may be a question of stock to eat the corn, rather than the corn for stock to eat. It is best that every thing should attain maturity without being stunted whether it be a stalk of corn or a hog or a steer. This thing of roughing stock at a certain time because it is cheaper, I take no stock in. If any animal is worth keeping at all it is worth keeping well. The hay business comes far fr6ém being profitable this year as it was last. Roughness besides hay is plen- tiful everywhere, in fact it will go to waste on farm after farm in every locality. The scarcity of live stock is going to cut quite a figure in keeping the price of hay down, too. i The modern farmer is realizing that the cheapest way to farm is with imachinery rather than with muscle. |The other day I sold a good sulky plow cheap and replaced it with a jgang. I made up my mind that if | the sulky had to be thrown aside en- |tirely it would pay to do it and get the gang plow, but the dealer al- lowed me a ten for the sulky, so we traded. The county fair may be “‘the same |thing over again’ each year, but, {nevertheless, I am always on hand at |least one day. It does one good to get away for the day, even if the | folks from over the country are about jall that we care to see on the grounds. I for one can forgive a country fair organization if they will present one {good exhibition of baseball, if they jare able to put up no other creditable | exhibits. | There is no way to keep the boy on the farm that thoroughly and actually despises the work that must be done onafarm. It is not treating such a boy right to compel him to stay on the farm until he is of such an age that he starts on unequal terms with oth- jers to learn a trade or profession. I believe in keeping the boys and girls on the farm all .ight—if they like the farm. I would do all I could to cause them to like the farm. A hedge fence that you are trying to keep nicely trimmed grows wheth- er crops do or not. I have a few rods of hedge that invariably needs a bar- is already of an inferior quality, so that all will be second grade. Don’t overde the job of feeding cull or drop apples to the hogs by making them a regular or entire ration, a8 on their teeth, causing them to be. so sore that the animals will refuse to eat corn. Pasture the new clover meadow if itis ina healthy, growing condition, and when the sod is not soft and wet orentirely too dry. The stock nip- ping it back causes it to stool out and make a more vigorous growth than it would if not pastured. The Church With a Welcome Next Sunday morning the pastor of this friendly church will begin a series of sermons which he calls “The Question Series.’’. On the dates named he will preach sermons upon the questions that Should be Asked in place of those printed here. The question is—What are the questions which should be asked? Sept. 15th—Do You Enjoy Your Religion? Sept. 22nd—Is Your Church Using You Nicely? Sept. 29th—Do Preaching? Get interested, take you pencils, see if you_can figure out what the subjects will be, and then come and see how far you miss. Next Sunday night the pastor’s topic will be ‘‘Weighed in the Bal- ance.”’ A live song service precedes the sermon. The orchestra and male quartette will aid you in enjoying the meeting. It is expected that all our members do all possible to boost the Sunday school attendance. Great times are just before us. Rally Day will soon be here and our Revival meetings will soon be announced. There’s no reason why you should not attend and become a member of some church in our town. If you are not attached elsewhere our latch- string is out and we know how to make you feel at home.

The disk plow is all right in its place, but it is not an all purpose plow, like the moldboard. Succulent fodder or silage is what counts. Get after them as soon as possible. : Stake those rank tomatoes that are falling and bringing the fruit in con- tact with the ground, thus :causing the product to rot. With the ripening corn “‘so near and yet so far,’ the cows are taking a squint at the fences every day, and you ought to be doing the same.

The President regards the situation as grave. The President directed the dispatch of one regiment from Fort Riley, Kas. and one from Fort D. A. Russell, Wy. It was said here today that while no more troops were to be sent dur- ing the next few days, the situation has become quite: alarmiug to the Washington authorities. It can be said on authority, how- ever, that intervention will not be considered by Mr. Taft, except as a last resort. He has told many of his advisers that he would not send the army’ across the Texas border until every possible move had beed made to af- ford protection to Americans by the Madero Gevernment.
