But. there are druggists, and, jew: ers and grocers who, having suceceed- ed at their specialties,” seem to think they can succeed just as. completely at farming, without giving it one- tenth the same perSonal attention they have unhesitatingly given thoir legitimate occupations. A merchant usually begins as clerk, He' learns towels,, we'll say; towels and table napery and e few kindred goods. He learns how to-judge their quality and worth; learns how to display them; learns how to sell them: Ly and by-learns how to buy them 50 they can be sold-again-at a profit. Then he learns white ‘goods and dress goods and underwear and -stockings and buttons and thread and- hooks- and-eyes and a thousand other things. He doesn't learn it ;all in a weelk. either, norby reading treatises on mer. chandising. He learns it by long and slow experience while clawing his w: from the jbottom up. Then, With' s this. detailed knowledge of 'his goods and his markets and his customers in his head, he usually works in the store he starts for himself hatder and long- er hours. than any. clerk he employs. a Later, having succeeded at his nier- - chandising venture, he gets a farn. about which he knows nothing except what he may have been. told; starts at raising crops about whose whims he knows only what he has.read !n the seed catalogues or the.farm papers and expects some hired man—who wouldn't be a hireling except that he lacks knowledge and skill to be any- thing better—to manage it with suc- cess and profit. Now, if any city man is by any chance reading this. I want to ask him if he really thinks that is rea- sonable? Business men generally agree that a man muost “tend to his business if he wants to thrive from it. Do they think that farming is such a_simple, kindeérgarten-y sort of fhing tRat suc- cess thereat requires neither attention nor skill nor labor? If they do,. they've . got another {think. corning. ..For I" doubt if .there \is apother business in the whole world ‘which is so dependent upon careful, intelligent, .persistent,: hourly . atten- tion to-details as farming. “Why,” someone says, “farming just plowing and.planting and cult vating and harvesting.” Ye-es? Likewise merchandising just buving goods at 90 cents.and sc! ing them for a:dollar. T But it ‘is rather essential for the merchant to know what to buy, when to buy and what price’ to pay. Also to know that he ‘gets what-he orders. Also a good many other. little things. It is rather essential that the farm- er should know what his farm will produce and how to produce’it, what his markets will buy and how to grow it at.a less cost than the market will return. Also it is rather essential that he should be on hand to take advan- tage of’the opportunities which varf- able seasons and whimsical weathur afford hinm, There isn’t another occupation which is so _hampered - by - outside and un- controllable factors of weather, etc., as farming. The farmer who hopes to win success has got to be right on the job, evevy day-and all day, watch- ing every shift of the wind and.every change of the weather, as solicitously as a mariner watches for catspaws in the doldrums. He must fit his day’s work and each day's work to the con- LONG DISTANCE FARMING AND ITS RESULTS ditions, so--as to make thEt day's work count the most and show the least waste. 1 have ghbor ‘who ‘lives and does business: in the city, a hundred and fifty miles away. About once dur- | ing, the winter, about twice during the spring; about two weeks in' the sum- mer he.comes up to his farm. He hires a farmer to work it, gives that farmer’ rather explicit directions by letter what crops to put on what fields, buys seed at fancy prices from what- ever seedsman chances to advertise most cunningly, reads the farm pa- pers sedulously "and can’t see for the life of him why he isn't as success- ful as the freak fellows who, when ever @ freak blunders into succes: write columns about it.in those same farm papers, as if it were the regular and usual thing. That.man wouldn’t think for a see~ ond of staying on the farm .up here 50 weeks of the vear and carrying on .his city business from here by letter and long distance ’phone. The other day a Massachusetts cor- respondent who owns a fige poultry plant in the country some distance from the city where he does his real business wrote me a most amusine letter about his experiences. He feels sure there's money In broil. ers, and last season made a strone push along that line. He hired a nan- ager who was supposed .to know ali about chickens, “had raised the thousand,” etc. He gave the m: ager .carte blanche in the matter feed and the like. time,”” he_writes, “at.least 3,000, fowls were running about, but when it time " to market them, 759 were could’ find. Farmers for miles stray hens and chickens in the woods. but I°couldn’t claim them.” The foxes. and pot-hunters arouna there must have lived well, that fal The few he had left, according to the feed bills, were eating as much as the whole 3,000 ought to have necd- cd, but even they weren't doing well. “The- worst looking bunch of fowls in the world wers those on my farm.” He called in an expert:friend who told him, they were being. cloyed -hy over-feeding. So he bounced his man- ager, cut down the grain, fenced in a restricted but ample run, and the remaining .birds began to pick up. But it was too late.. They never regained what they had lost, and never attained a condition where he dared to try to sell them at any profit-giving price, though the market was clamoring for fancy broilers at figures which would have paid-well." Later he discovered that they al- most all had worms. He didn't know it for, as he says, “I don't profess to know a darned thing about farming,” and his boss farmer didn’t know it, either; or, if he did, never mentioned it. “l'd be ashamed 'to'confess to the cost.the farm has been.to me, although no one .can convince me that a good living can't be' made“on a farm,” he writes. He's right, Almost any sort of farmer can make some sort of a liv- ing on a farm, A really good farmer can make a.really good living on a farm. s But he must know what to do, him self, and how teo-do it; he rmust know what his farm “wants to' do, what t can be jollled into doing, and what it won’t do, himself; he must be right on hand to catch not only the right season, but the right day for this, that, or the other job; he must have a flexible plan of operations all thought out. beforéhand so that, when Wweather or other ‘conditions ‘make one task ‘impracticable, he can go right at some. other and conserve time and wages., f Farming, I. e., good farming, which is the only kind either satisfactory or profitable, 5 a mighty complex bus- iness: _If one plans to take up some spe- cialty in farming, like poultry, or dairying, or fruit-growing, or beef and pork producing, he needs an especially wise and atcurate knowledge of the thousand and one details of that spe- cialty, which must be looked after. ~+OMAHA, Neb., OMAHA ON TU it has rained Question Marks and Figure7’s.
