L (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) | Talking about ladders, a man may be given half-a-dozen by his neigh- Burd, all of good length and all in flrst- claes condition—but he'll never get up to patch his leaky roof unless he | uses them as they were meant to be used. He may pile them up under a shed and forget them; or he may stack them up around o tree and around them till they rot; or he may | lean them up against the ea then go fishing. But unless he climbs them, carrying _ his shingles and his | hammer and his nails with him, they won't help towards mending the holes in the roof In other words, a man isn't ever apt to get anywhere with both feet un- | 18%s he does it himself, of himself, by | hifnsels and for himself. “Other mens' | failures will never save you,” ran the | oild hymn.

They ought to be pilloried before the eves of all the farmers who are asked to buy their stuff. That's just what Is done in this report of the New York Experiment | Station.

Why, to farmers, of and yet strange to me position. to prepare Serv-Us You can enjoy with & pared lik Yet though this information it fre to every farmer of New York state, is sent to him every season, without a | cent of cost or the lifting of his finger, he will only give the station his| post’ office address, so it can know | where to send the facts—in spite of | enough of these fake feeds are sold every year ot the farmers of the state to make it worth the while of | manufacturers to continue their | shameful compounding of svreenlngsi d oat hulls and cob meal and weed | odls. | E— i pickles The manufacturer can’t compel any | ||| farmer to buy his sophisticated mix- tures. 1t takes two to make a bar- gain.

The farmers of, New York state, | and those of other states, too,—keep ht on buying comparatively poor feeds at comparatvely high prices, | paying the adulterating mixers fancy profits for 'd seeds and salt, throw- ing their hard-earned pennies away for ymobilé-running fakers to buy rubber tires and oline with,— WHY? a potpie this, and coffee. like the one Foods.

I hope | and beHeve that you're a different sort | of critter.- But it is perfectly clear from the facts that there are a good many farmers who need to be;slam- banged till they are pounded into a sense of their opportunities and their duties. prices. As | have said, there is no exculpa- tion for the g edy manufacturers. But what about the man who, with | perfectly clear is that no farmer. or | knowledge fairly flung at his head of | imitation farmer has any moral or the wastefulness of his purchase ,still | other right to call on the government | °ps on stolidly buying the stuff,—/|to do anything more for farmers till he Iy giving away his own nuulhle" uses fairly and reasonably the infor- profits to swell the grab-bags of the|mation and the knowledge which the faking factories | government is already shoveling at Is there any excuse for him?

But how about the man ' man who is too shiftless of too heed- who makes a fool of himself in plain less to help himself, to find fault be- cause others don't help him more, Another- thing_that seems to daylight? Here’s what the micro-| scope showed one feed was made of: | 'Oat hul corn, barley, weed seeds| ground.” Another feed was | guaranteed to contain 50 per cent, of crude fiber: it actually contained less per cent. Another was| to contain 18 per cemt. of | it actually contained some- thing over 14 per cent. And so on and on. Nevertheless ,enough farm- ers were buying these comparatively poor feeds at comparatively high | prices to make it profitable to mix | them up and put them on the market. ying them when all they had to do ‘was to open the pamphlet which the was eager to send them for nothing and find out just how much | they were being swindled. | Now, will you tell me what's the use of the government or anybedy else making ladders to give to people who won't take the trouble to use them If a neighbor has no ladder and can't afford to buy one, and really wants to mend_his leaky roof, I'm willing to lend him mine. But I'm not disposed | to carry it over for him, lean it up against the eaves, get out the shingles, {hunt up the hammer, and then have him grumble because 1 don't also get up on the roof and patch it. “God helps them that help them- selves.” But who's going to help those who want somebody else to de it all?
