NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURD DECEMBER 11, 1915 (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) Some years ago, while driving through the village I met a team that was strange to me. I asked my com- panion if he knew whose it was. “Oh, yes,” he answered, “that's Hi Lalor from the West Part. He bousht the old George Adams farm a couple of years ago.” “Why,” said I, “that farm was so near run out, last 1 knew anything about it, that the woodchucks couldn't get a living on it, and this chap looks as if he were finding enough to eat. “Well,” was the answer, “Hi Lalor is one of those men that can make a living anywhere. He has already paid off half the mortgage he gave and Is keeping twelve or thirteen cows and taking a big load of truck to market at least every week. But, Lord, man, he'd make money on a farm cut out of the center of the Great American Des- ent. He's built that way. Seems as if he just couldn’t help i All this made me very curious. I kept on making inquiries. I took means to scrape an acquaintance with this Hi Lalor and asked him all sorts of questions. I made a trip to his place, one day, on_ pretense of looking for something I lknew he didn’t have, just o get a look around and see if T could discover any trace of his secret of_success. 3 By which means I at last discovered it. It eluded me for a long time be- cause it was so simple and so every- where manifest. 1 was hunting for something abstruse and mysterious and hidden. The real secret, on the other hand, wasn't a secret at all. It was not actually sitting on its tail and Dharking at you to attract your atten- tion, to be sure, but it was written very plainly en every fence and build- ing and tool and animal about the ace. PH\%4 it was nothing more than Tak- ing Care of Things. The fences, for example, were not very good. The old farm had been run into bankruptcy and abandonment by an incompetent previous owner, who had stripped it of almost every- thing and allewed the small remain- der to go “ali at loose ends. as the saving is. Fences had gone to pot the fiist thing, and scant material had life fer their repair. But the sitle had been made of the aptions, and more than I = 2ht possibla had been s of board and rusty re and poles and the like, the broken p . The look verr handsome, but thoy were strong enough and high gh to turn e. When the new dhis herd into a fleld he sure they'd stay in s out. And he casually remarked. as he saw me looking rather closely at one bit, 1t he'd just ordered a hundred rods wire f = and hoped to have that piec a little more respectable” soor. owner The buildings, too, were old, and had been neslected so long that it was a wonder they hadn’t fallen down in sheer disgust at their former owner's slackness. But they, too, had been patched up with anything available till they at least shed water and kept wind. It seems that, though there n't a board left on the place when Talor bought it, he had discovered an old back-lot born which hadn’t been used for some vears. The sills and other timbers had mostly rotted away, but some of the old boards were still lively enough to hold nails. These he had carefully salvazed and used to repair the home barn winter he was planning to get out scveral thousand fect from a neigh- bor's woods, on shares, and hoped thus to secure fresh lumber enough to put the old barrack into really good shave, The pastures were pretty poor. But he had spent rather more money than he really wanted to, the first spring he came, In top-dressing some of them with a mixture of nitrate of soda and bone-meal, and, as he apologetically remarked, they were “none so bad, now. The run out mowing lands, too, he had top-dressed with all the fine ma- nure he could scrape up, a little ad- dition of chemicals and considerable fine-ground lime. Two of them he had irrigated diverting a small trout stream which ran between them out of its winding channel onto_their surfaces, turning its flow from day to day by means of a few shrewdly run furrows so that it overspread the en- tire area about once a fortnight. When one met him on his way to market, he wore a good looking driv- |—of all sorts of Things—of Little ing suit; his horses shone with|Things quite as sedulously as Big | THE FARMER’S FIRST COMMANDMENT: TAKE CARE OF THINGS The coming | plumpness and good spirits; his wagon was as clean and bright as new; his harnesses fairly glittered. It seemed curious to observe the contrast be- tween these and the roughly patched old buildings in which they were kept. But he remarked that he couldn’t do everything at once, and would have the stables and wagon-houses and sheds as trim as the horses and wag- ons, by another year or two. Which he did, by the way. There isn't today a neater, more thrifty-look- ing farmstead in the neighborhood than his. He is now recognized as one of the ‘solid men” of the community. His farm is accepted as one of the best in town. He has no debts or bills coml due, and has something to the goo put away where it will be handy. And the one reason for it was that He Took Care of Things. Not merely of big things, but more sedulously still of the little thinge. For instance, when he came back from a long and sometimes dirtylng trip to market, the harnesses were gone over before they were taken off the horses, all dust, grime, or mud wiped off, and it was noted whether they needed oiling in spots or not. Similarly the wagon was either hosed or sponged off, before it was run into its shed, and careful note made of the tires, to' see they were tight. of spokes, to see that none rattled, of hubs to see if any were running dry, of nuts and bolts everywhere to see that all were as they should be. It took sometimes & quarter or half an hour to do this inspecting and attending to harnesses and wagon. He bought them all, second-hand, when he bought the old farm, a dozen years ago. He's still using them and they look exactly as good and fit as they did the first time I ever saw them. You see, he's taken care of them. | can’t swear it but | think he’s still using the same neat driving sult _he had on that first encounter. The first thing he does, on reaching home after a marketing trip, and while his son is attending to the horses and harnesses, is to throw off his coat, slip on a pair of high-cut overalls kept handy In the wagon shed, and thus protect his suit from wagon grease, etc., and keep it ready for the mext trip. So, through all the operations of his work. No sooner is the use of any tool finished for the time, than it is care- fully cleaned, fully repaired if it shows need, and put away in a dry place, all ready for use the instant it may be wanted again In the little room he has set off for his farm “shop” are stored all sorts of bolts and nuts and screws and nails and spare parts for many tools, all kept carefully separated and marked S0 they can be found at a minute's notice. He isn't at all stingy about lending tools or repairs, either. But he's ada- mant in one requirement. That is that any tool borrowed shall be returned in @s good condition as when taken, and put away where it belongs. The care- less neighbor who won't show _this much appreciation for the considera- tion shown him, gets no second chance. Now, | don’t have any idea that this particular neighbor Lalor has ever got higher prices for his products or made much more money than several other of the farmers near him with as good if not better farms. That he has, now, the best farm of the bunch is simply due to the fact that he has taken care of it. That he has a practical monopoly of one of the best routes in his market city is simply due to the fact that he has taken care of his customers. That he has investments instead of mortgages due is simply owing to the fact that he has taken care of what he has and thereby made it last longer and saved the cost of new things. He is a living exemplification of the old saying that “a little leak will empty a big barrel,” and of the other equally ancient proverb that “a stitch in time saves nine. He is prosperous and today, in his age, can afford to “take things easy.” not because his income has been un- usually big, but because he has taken care of it, such as it was; because he has always attended to the little things, not because they are little, but because they make big ones; because he has always Kept the loose ends gathered up and the loose edges tucked in and watched the fat to see that it didn’t fry over. There are either thirty or thirteen hundred things essential o good farm- ing, I've forgotten which if, indeed, 1 ever knew.

Success In farming depends a good deal less on the farm than it does on the farmer. 3 ‘When we are inclined to find fault with pretty much everything and ev- eryone else in the universe for our failures, it might be wiser for some of us to hunt up the old looking-glass and address a part of our criticism to New London Citizens Getting Tired Revival of the Health Officer Matter is Generally Condemned —Auto Engine Does Good Work at Montville Fire— To be Out of Commission for Week. The citizenry of New London is tir- ing of this continuous performance in regard to the salary of health officer, with the people arrayed against the court of common council. This ques- tion was tested in the recent city meeting when it was decided that there should be no salary raise, by the disapproval of the ordinance adopted by the council, to raise, the salary of $1,000 to $3,000. The coun- ofl, however is akin to the profession- al politician, who is loth to accept-de- feat. Now 'the council has passed another ordinance fixing the salary at $2,000, and immediate notice was served that another city meeting would be called and approve or dis- approve of that action. Should the council meet defeat again, it is prob- able that another try will be made and with the salary named as $1,500. Then another city meeting and the salary would remain just as it Is at the present time. And the court of common council is composed of repre- sentative citizens, but like that door- keeper during the Grant administra- tion, who was a “bigger” man than the president, the aldermen may meet with that same fate when they are candidates for reelection. The “bus- iness administration” is not making a very auspicious start. It was stated at the council meet- ing that the present health officer, Dr. John Torrington Black, was perform- ing the duties for $1,000 a year, and was willing to continue, and at’even a less salary, perhaps. Then, why pay more? It was aiso said that there were five physiclans in good standing who stood ready to take the place for that salary. Dr. Black has resigned several times, but in every instance he has withdrawn his resig- nation. If he does not want the job, it was suggested, why doesn't he get out and give some other doctor a chance, There away in the city charter, or ordinan , somet! about salary raising, that specifies that no increase can be made to ben- efit the incumbent, and if that be true, Dr. Black cannot receive any Incréase in pay for the next four years, the term for which he was appointed by the mayor. True, the ordinance fixing the salary at .000 was adopted by the council before the mayor announced the appointment. But that ordinance cannot be effec- tive within fifteen days and _after specified published notice, and Dr. Black is now the full fledged health officer, and as such his salary cannot be increased while in that office. Per- haps, however, should the action of the council be' aproved in city meet- ing, the health officer may resign again, it assured that he will be re- appointed to the office under the new salary. The state law says that the health officer shall not only be trained medicine, but also must be a person, and at the* council meeting Alderman Miner quoted many inci- dents in connection witn the action of Dr. Black as health officer to prove, that he was not a discreet person un- der the law, and therefore not quali- fieq to holdthe office. Just the same he will hold the office, whether the salary be raised or not. It will be a happy day for New London when the matter of salary for health officer is settled, so that the members of the “business administration can get down to business that is of vital im- porance to the city. The only re- deeming feature of the controv [ in the fact that it is not a party mat- ter and is absolutely free from poli- tics. Alderman Perkins, true to his state- ment that he would cause another city meeting to be called, to approve or ‘disaprove of the latest ordinance passed by the council, is getting the required number of petitioners and will present the petition to the mayor in time to have the meeting within the legal period. The petition will request the mayor to call the meeting at a time when the workingmen can participate, and that the polls be kept open so that all who desire will have opportunity to vote. This request in the petition, and the request of the Central Labor Union that the meeting be held in the evening, will probably have some weight with the mayor, who has eaid that his only promise before election was that every man would get a square deal. There is_ intense public feeling in regard to this health officer matter, and judging from the talk heard wherever men gather, and the coun- cil's action in its revival is generally condemned. Although the salary is the point at issue and is to be deter- mined for a second time in city meet- ing, there is strong feeling now against Dr. Black, who is back of the whole scheme. The salary question seems to have been shelved and all the discussion heard now is either' for or against Dr. Black as health officer, and therefore there will be an exhibit of personal enmity hidden In the bal- lots that are cast against the ordin- ance, and more against the present health officer than against the ralse in salary of $1,000. This heaith, officer business may seem trifling to some outside of this section, but no ques- tlon of a public nature has created | will preach. chap who looks back from it. The chances are fairly good that he will have been more responsible than anybody else. Anyway, whether or not it is in every farmer to command success, at least he can do more—he can deserve it. He certainly won't deserve it, and he is mightly likely not to get it, un- less he observes the First Command- ment of Good Farming, which is “Take Care of Things." THE FARMER. more feeling in New London in many vears. The Niagara triple-action fire ap- paratus was ordered to Montville and again demonstrated its efficiency at the Palmer Memorial school fire, not only in reaching the fire in quick time, but in its ability to pour streams of water into the building immediately upon arival. The pumps worked con- tinuously for five hours, and the en- gines were not stopped from the time the machine left the fire house until its return. In that one instance this apparatus practically covered more distance in engine work than will be accomplished by any other motor ap- paratus in the department in a year. At the mill fire in Waterford, near Montville several months ago, this same machine pumped for nineteen hours, and covered a distance equal to a trip to Philadelphia and return. The apparatus has been in commission for two and a half years, and during that time has been out of commission ex- actly twenty-five minutes, for the ad justment of some of the machinery. and not a cent has been expended for repairs. The present fire committee has de- cided to put the aparatus out of com- n for a week for economical reasons. The apparatus needs varnish- ing and in order to save the expense of painting, later on, it has been | deemed advisable to resort to revar- nishing to save the much greater ex- pense of paiting. The committee dislikes to withdraw this valuable fire fighting machine from the service, even for a short time, and have ord- ered that the driver remain with the machine while in the paint shop, and to respond to calls, if possible, during the varnishing process, and to be ready to run the machine out of the paint shop should that Dbuilding chance to catch fire.
