Ol Man Hoskins ‘will - dicker and ehaffer and go from store to store and take half a to get six cents more for his twelve pounds of butter. But he won't give one minute’'s thought, nor one homr's work towards increas- ing his semi-weekly get of butter from twelve to twenty pounds. Some years ago he was complalni about the hardness of the times and how he wasn’t getting enough butter from his three cows to pay his store bills. A neighbor asked what was feeding. “Timothy hay and corn meal—three quarts om it ioe a day to every one uv the dum critters,” was the re- :gonn By dint of much chafing and e final offering: of a bet, the neigh- bor induced Hoskins to let -him feed the cows a month. First, he cut out the clear timethy-~the "hovle hay,” and substituted:some mixed with clo- ver and red-top and blue- etc., from the other end of the . Then he ordered several bags of bBuckwheat middlings, dragged out. the’ old hay- cutter and hunted up a water.pail. He figured out a “milk and butter ration” for cows of the Hoskin size—so many pounds of hay, s many of suckwheat middlings, so-many-of meal and so many bf ground oats. .

Even the boys are being dragged into the competing areas, They have “boy’s corn-growing com- petitions” in the corn-belt, to see which boy under a certain age can raigé most corn on an acre. Seems to me there might be a chance, here in New England, for a new form of com- petition, which should be a good thing not only for the boys but for their elders and for the farming life as a whole. Why can’t some agricultural soclety, or some grange, or some farm- ers’ club offer prizes to the boys under sixteen, say, who raise the most on a quarter-acre or a half-acre? They to select their own crops and take care of them in thelr own way; dding all the work themselves, but allowed to secure all the advice and suggestions they please from older heads. An acre looks pretty big to a small boy. And not all boys,—or men,—are born to grow corn: some could do better with potatoes, and some with cab- bages and some with kohl-rabi, per- haps, or caulifiower or celery or with a comblnqtlon of all these and a dozen more. Let the lad have his head ana gang his ain gait. Let there be prizes for the biggest yields in point of meas- ure or weight, and prizes for the big- gest values secured, and prizes for the best net profits made, after deducting all money ard' material used and all labor applied. 'And don't forget two or three sGlation” prizes for the lads who have worked faithfully and ha ut have been distanced by some accident or mishap which was no fault of their own. The prizes needn't be big, but should be such as boys really ‘want,—not such as we old 'uns think NEW BINDER TO BE USED. Mayer Pohiman’s Suggestion Wili Be Carried Out in_ 8outh Norwalk.
