Where'll you go? There are lots of places. Are You Thinking of “Leaving the Country?” Perhaps you have read of California's beautiful groves of oranges and other tropical fruits andthe salubrious climate, andthe certainty of Production under irrigation—but don’t forget, that in one night last spring a freeze did more damage in California than the drouth of 1901 and 1913 cost Missouri. Or you may be calculating that you’ll go ’way back east to north-eastern New York, where the summers are not so hot and the grass is always green—late in July this year the blue grass Pastures were so dry that sparks from the locomotives set the grass on fire. Forget it! Maybe you have been thinking of putting a cover on the wagon and hitting the trail back to your wife’s folksin Ohio—they don’t want you, because last March floods did damage amounting to $400,000,000, which is more than the cost of all the drouths Missouri ever had, and your wife’s folks in Ohio are busy just now trying to get a mortgage on the farm so they can buy a cow and a mule or two from their son-in-law in Missouri. Now, if we knew of a better place to sell building material or where the crops were better on the average than Missouri we would be there—but it’s not on the map, so we are right here in Butler, one car of GALVANIZED IRON ROOFING, so many. cars of LUMBER we forgot to count, and we unloaded two cars of PORT- Bates county, Mo., with two big car loads of SHINGLES, LAND CEMENT last week.

Job and Repair Work a Specialty Judging by the interest that ing manifested in farm tractora of the opinion that it will only’ matter of a few years until most with gasoline .or kerosene . Those tractors that can handle strongly as labor savers and 7 they are idle the expense stops, © Having to hunt up heavier under- clothes is an indicator of the weather thafistocome. Winter and tax-pay- ing time never fail to put in an ap- pearance. Every farmer can afford -a good feed rack in his cattle yard. With feed worth as much as it is this year, one cannot afford to waste it by feed- ing in a poor feed rack. Ican remember when rough feed of all kinds was considered too cheap to be cared for in a way that insured more than two-thirds of it keeping through a rainy season. Hay was stacked by piling it and fodder was cut only in smallamounts, the remain- ing stalks being pastured after the corn was husked. This year’s prices are a great contrast. There is always some way of get- ting work done without keeping the children out of school to help do it. A subscriber writes to the Furrows Department that he saves all baling wire, as he feeds baled hay and uses it when next corn cutting time comes to tie corn shocks. Looks liked trick worth remembering, for shocks tied with binder twine often fall apart be- cause the twine breaks or rots and then breaks. I look for a good crop of pigs next spring; that is, a good average of pigs to the litter. The average corn belt farmer feeds too much corn to his brood sows, and corn being high in price, it will not be fed so liberally this winter. The result will be more pigs to the litter. A good feed grinder will come near to paying for itself this year. There is no question in my mind but what grinding adds to the value one can get from grain, but when the price of grain is low the value gained may not be worth enough to equal thecost of high priced labor necessary to at- tend to the grinding, but this year any little extra obtained from grain will be worth considerable money. Perhaps it is harping on the same old string, but how about that seed corn of yours? Have you found it yet and is itin a safe place for the winter? There is no use in making a great stir about seed corn in the spring—the time for action is here now. Thave a letter froma Kansas friend, in which he asks how one situated as he is, is going to have fruit and vege- tables without buying in cans. This is in answer to the question to the assertion that as long as we live out of cans we may expect’a high cost of living. Where all fruit and such vegetables as tomatoes, peas and beans were a failure, there certainly is no other way of getting it except to buy in cans, or to buy fruit, peas and beans dry. Weare now entering the season when we may expect to get all kinds of advice about gathering seed corn, from those who never handled an ear of corn in their life. I think advice emanating from that source doesmore harm than good and in the language plowing and pulverizing will be done or four plow bottoms appeal to nie an eighivacee field where. eighteen acres Were plowed last fall and the balance spring plowed. I believe there will be twice as much corn ona spring-plowed acre as on the fall plowed. I would like to ask the scientists why this should be the case. For cheapness of locomotion: the modern motorcycle must be given first place. My attention has been called to the fact that one of these machines has run 200 miles ona gal- lon of gasoline. This -was a single cylinder machine of low power and possibly was more economical than the more powerful machine. Presbyterian Church. Sunday School 9:45 a. m. Public Worship 11:00.
