Jan2idaw S SR WHEN you want to put your busi- mess before the public. there is,no me- dium better than through the advertis- ‘,.‘ ul:?-_nl Lhe Bulleuy Young and | Generously Tolerant. (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) I like to hear what other folks think |about farming, as well as to “fire off |my own mouth” on the fascinating subject. And it's a source of never {ending amusement to me to observe {how many different things different pedPie think they see when they're all looking at the same identical pumpkin. {A Harvard professor has lately been making a really scientific study of the value of evidence. He has demonstrat- ed that, as a matter of cold mathe- matical fact, the best attested evidence, most solmenly sworn to, most skill- |fully sifted, most honestly given, is liable to a percentage of error which makes it always unsafe to accept with- out reservation. Certainly the testi- mony of farmers to farm conditions is about as mixed a mess as was ever compounded. For instance, | had just read in an agricultural paper the other day the unqualified, dogmatic, “I-know-what- I'm-talking-about” assertion that “No business pays as well today as the well kept farm,” when.in another agricul- tural paper I bumped up against the equally unqualified, dogmatic, “I-know- what-I'm-talking-about” assertion that the American farmer is today the “hardest worked and most underpaid citizen.” Both these statements came from farmers; both were manifestly intend- ed to be the truth; both were made with equal positiveness and absence of qualifications. And yet both can't possibly be right. Now suppose I wasn't a farmer; was a mechanic or a clerk or a business man in town, and wanted to find out the facts about life on a farm; after reading a few such contradictions as these, wouldn’t 1 be in much the con- dition of the new congressman from the south, who, after listening for hours to the speeches of partisans who made out that black was white and vellow and sky-blue and several other colors, cried out in bewilderment: “Mr. Speaker, where are we at?” ’ It won’t do to assume that men who make such diametrically opposite state- ments are lying. Their very earnest- ness is proof that they mean what they say. We must take their honesty for granted at the start off. Nevertheless they can’t both be telling the truth. ‘What is the explanation? I think it will take two paragraphs to explain ’em. In the first place, they | both belong to that unfortunately large class of men who can't see beyond their own noses, or outside the circum- ference of their own hat-brims. They may both be bright enough in many ways, but they both lack something, mentally. They are not intellectually capable of using their own eyes and ears properly. . Perhaps they were born so; perhaps they have, unconsclously, trained themselves into the habit of looking down and not up; within and not outward. They see what they think they see, not what actually is. Some- times they see what they want to see, not what they ought to see. They can’t get out of themselves. ‘What they are, they assume others must be; what they do, others must do; what they suffer, others must endure. They seem to feel that, whenever one of them stubs his toe, every farmer from Bastport to Astoriamust go lame. Or, whenever one of them has had a good dinner and is feeling comfortable, as if averybody else must, also, be in tune for singing Hallelujahs. Herein, it seems to me, lies the explanation why these people can’t see straight. Then, in the second place, they set forth the results of their wrong vision with dogmatic and offensive intoler- ance because they are naturally big- oted and one-sided. It is again an in- tellectual lack., rather than an ethical perversity. Indeed, the longer I live and the more I see of men the more certain I am that falsehood is oftener due to mental incompetence than to moral obliquity. Of course, every fel- low is a very important personage— to himself. But, considering all the other people in all the rest of the world, not one of us but is a dinky little toad in a mighty big puddle. And the puddle hasn't dried up just be- cause one toad’s back gets out of the water. Truth generally lives between the extremes of partisan prejudices. “Drive slow and keep the middle of the road” is very good advice in other matters beside horsemanship. Here, for instance, is a man who rushes into print with his first vear's experience in sheep raising to show how profita- ble it is for the small farmer. He belongs in the southwest, sgomewhere, where his sheep live solely on pasture tht “well along in January.” On the 7 Farmer Talk by Others—-The Differences of Opinion-—-No Evidence of Prevarication, Only Narrowness of View ‘---Extreme and Unreasonable Views Common-—~Fancy Work NotAlways Remumerative--All So Shortsighted and Poorsighted that All Should be Humble and use of g blue-grass and clover and timothy pasture (cost not stated nor interest and taxes included), and an investment of about $357 in money, he figures the very satisfactory profit of $348. He sold his wool at 26 cents a pound, and his lambs, which averaged 104 pounds each, at $7.10 a hundred. He lost only three lambs out of 101. Now, anybody, who has kept sheep for a term of years knows that this isn’t “a falr sample.” He had ex- traordinarily good fortune with his lambs. Not every year can a small farmer expect to save 98 per cent. of his lambs, especially when they come, as this man’s did, “during the stormy days of February and March.” Very few farmers in this part of the world can Jet their sheep live soiely on pas- ture up to the middle of January. Ex- ceedingly few farmers can ralse a bunch of 98 lambs which shall weigh an average of 104 pounds each at mar- keting time. And still fewer farmers can rely upon getting $7.10 a hundred pounds for them. If this man had suffered ordinary losses in the num- ber of his lambs; had been compelled to take his flock up in November in- stead of January; had found the lambs average about 20 pounds less in weight;. had been able to get but $5.50 a hundred instead of $7.10; and had been forced to sell his wool at 1§ 1-2 cents instead of 26, perhaps his - ance sheet would nave looked different —especially when he had charged gomething for labor and something for pasturage, both of which ite; he ;\ holly omits in making up his show- ng. And here’s another man who tells row to seli apples ind irake monev. “Do the way 1 did”; that's the mean- ing of his talk, He had some apples that he was offered $1.00 a barrel for. He dldn’t take it; he sorted them all over again, rubbed them shiny with a woolen cloth, made one barrel out of two and sold the half for $2.50 a barrel. And 50 he made money—if we omit all calculation of the time spent in re-sorting and polishing up, and so on. But I wonder how much pay he got, per diem, out of his exira price, for rubbing every individual apple in his 25 barrels with his woolen cloth? Some ten years ago I was bitten by this same bug and thought I'd seg how much money could be made by pakking fancy apples for fancy trade. 1 took twenty barrels, just as they came from the trees, looked over and packed half the lot in the usual way, getting nine barrels of saleable fruit and one of culls from this half, which brought me, all told, $11.60. Then I looked over the other ten barrels; sorted them unsparingly; rejected every imperfect or undersized fruit; packed them ex- actly even all through—as good at one end of the barrel as the other and as good in the middle as at either end— wrapped every apple in a square of tissue paper; got four barrels of fancies and six of culls, and thought I was going to get rich when the returns came in. This carefully sorted, fairly packed half netted me just $9.75, alt told. It took me a full day of hard work to sort out the faney lot; it took me less than half a day to pack the ordinary lot. So you see I lost $1.85 and six hours’ sharp work by trying to put out fancy goods. Now, here’s the point about all this: It isn't safe to generalize from single happenings. Because, one year, I lost money by putting up extra fancy eoods I don’t feel any right—or find any ex- cuse, even—for rushing into print with the dogmatic and unqualified state- ment that the farmer who packs fancy fruit is a fool. Nor has this other chap, whoever he be, any right or ex- cuse, because he made a little some- thing one year by doing that same thing, to rush into print condemning every orchardist who doesn't follow }fl:n as an old fogy and not fit for his About the only working lesson either one of us has a right to deduce from his own Individual experience is that yon can’t '‘most always sometimes But there is a moral suggestion in it which has a real and practical bear- ing. We're all so short-sighted and so poor-sighted, at the best; all our ex- perience is so unsatisfactory and all our observation is so uncertain and all our learning is so superficial, that simple common sense should lead us to be humble about our own successes. sympathetic with others’ Jlosses, and always and everywhere generously tol- erant of opinions and practices which we ourselves do not hold with. It's a big world: there are several people in it; and no man ever yet knew just where the other man’s shoe pinched. THE FARMER.

Three Animals Killed by Young Man Named Savor—Clever Work by Spe- cial Game Warden Hall. Upon complaint that parties living on the John Whitford place, north of | Willingtan Hill, had been killing deer, Special Game Prgtector W. H. Hall of this village wenf on Monday and in- vestigated. Bvidence was not lack- ing to show that several deer had been killed and taken to the home, wiech is occupled by three brothers by the name of Savor and their familles. Up- on being questioned they denied all knowledge ~* any suc) offense, but a ) _l;__‘-«? ’~’I&nn reyesded one fyesh in a very bad| |and two dried hides of deer. Efforts | were made by thé family to conceal as much as they could, but Mr. Hall was insistent and made a thorough search. | Carcasses Found. The first find was » pork barrel with the carcasses of two deer in pickle; this was declared to be veal {that they had killed, but Mr. Hall's |l experience in the Maine woods had taught him how to distinguish veal | from venison, so that bluff didn’t work. Two {fresh carcasses were later found as well as antlers, etc. It would seem that the family have had venison right along and felt like thanking the law- makers that passed the law protect- ing the deer. Men Confessed. After enough evidence had been se-- | cured to convict, the men owned up and safd the youngest brother had done the killing, Mr. Hall then went to Daleville and got him, placing him under arrest. He was taken to West Willngton and upon complaint by Grand Juror T. C. Denman, was tried before Judge Willlam H. Heald. Lawyer M. D. O"Connell conducted the prosecution. Fined $100 and Costs. Savor plead guilty to killing two deer on Sunday and was fined $100 and sentenced to pay the costs and Ispend thirty days in Tolland Jail. | Others have been suspected of similar acts of law-breaking and it is hoped that this will put a quletus on the indvstry.

Take your sour stomach—or maybe you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas- tritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't matter — take your stomach trouble right with you to your Pharmacist and ask him to open a 50-cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your former misery. The correct name for your trouble is Food Fermentation—food souring the Digestive organs become weak, there is lack of gastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become af- foected with loss of appetite, pressure and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas, biliousness, sick headache, nerv- ousness, dizziness and many other similar symptoms. If your trouble is fickle, and noth- ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there is but one cause—fermentation of undi- gested food. Prove to yourself, after your next meal, that your stomach is as good as any; thap there is nothing really wrong. 'Stgp this fermentation and hegin eating what you want without fear of discomfort or miséry. Almost instant relief is waiting for you.
