There is plenty of. intelligenee in the world. This is manifest emough from the shrewd cunning with which & majority of people conduct their re- lations, business, social or pelitical, with their fellows. - But the regular use of common-sense, or reasonm, is so the marked and potictable as a white blackbird in a field of pink daisies. ‘What is this “reason” of which we humans boast our possession, and which we so seldom wuse? Probably there are as many definitions extant as there have been metaphysiicans since Adam, I've read some dozens or scores in the course of my few and evil days, without gaining perfectly satisfactery information from any, or planation and definition more than the faculty they assume to define. Not being myself a metaphysician L years ago, formulated a kind of a, sort of a theory to eluecidate the workings of reason in such practical phases as are illustrated in farm work and.farm life. My idea is that reason is the ca- pacity for understanding the relation between cause and effect. And lhut’ reasonable action is action taken, al- ways and every time, with regard to that relaiion. While not myself especially solicit- ous whether others agree with.me or not, it may disarm some critics to ob- serve that several of the big metaphy- sicians, in the course of their long dis- sértations cn reason. interject phrases which seem to confirm me.

But what has it got to do with farming. and; what earthly practical interest has it for farmers? I fancy some of you, who have been patleni cnough to read | thus far, asking that question. i It has more interest for farmers—| or ought to have—than for any other of people in the worid. For two, asons: First, because there is no producii industry followed by man to the suc- cess of which a persistent application ! of the law of cause and effect is so es- ‘sential as in farming. | Second, because there is no class .of | workmen who seem to_act, ordinarily, | with less understanding or tion of that law. For instance: Twice in the past week, I have passed steep hillside fields which were being plowed. Not for rve or any cover crop, but as a preparation for next spring’s seeding. Now, I am not thinking about the much-discussed debate over fall plowing vs. spring plowing. but of a simple question of cause and effect. Being hillsides down which water always runs when there is any tp run, both these fields in spring thaws and rains are now liable to be washed and gullied; much more lable than if left unplowed. Ev- ery farmer knows this, the two who were plowing just as well as you and I. When I asked them about it one answered, Why, ves, he s'posed that was so about the washin’, he hadn’t really thought nothin’ about it. The other said that of course I was right, but “perhaps it wen't wash much this time,” | seem to remember having told you once before about the neighbor who lost his thousand-bushel omion-bed one July by a flood feq by a furious down-pour on the adjacent hills. There had been similar floods before which had gullied that same acre. He knew any Juiy thunder-storm was likely to bring anothert But the land was rich ‘and “handy.” So he took hig chance —and lost all his sced and all his ma- nure and all his labor and "all his crop. just It was perfectly natural; the inevitable effect of an ever-ready cause. But Mr. Onion-Grower | couldn’t understand, or didn't think; anyway, he failed to use his reasom; 1. { e. he refused to act in accordance with the law of cause and effect. Some years ago another neighbor sold his hillside farm and bought one In the valley. On his old place was a brook running nearly past ‘his barn, with a considerable and fairly regular fail. He was brought water to the ! LIFT OFF CORNS b f WITH FINGERS i Féw Drops of “Freezoney” Then 1. Corns Lift Of—No Pain! A tiny bettle of ‘Freezone” costs so little at any drug store; apply a few drops upon any corn or callus.

Truly! humbua! apprecia- | 91 barn-yard tub by the simple expedi- ent af laying a pipe in the hottom of the breok from a small dam perhaps 200 feet up-styeam. Being always un- der running water this pipe never froze and, its lewer end opening up- ward from the bottom of the tub, the rising water's constant ebullition kebt the tub alS0 from freeszing. There was likewise a brook running nearly to the barnyard of his second farm, with a considergble fall. So he brought along the pipe from the old farm’s brook, set up his tub in the new farm’s barn- yard, connected the pipe with it and expected to got water. Wherein he was sadly disappointed. No water rose in- to the tub then, or ever has since. There was a little rise of land from the point where the brook nearest ap- proached the barn to that building. It was a very gentle rise, hardly notice- able, indeed. It didn't look like any- thing like as much as the fall towards the barn in the breok from where the upper end of the pipe took the water. But the water itself, obeying the laws' of water, promptly notified him tha! looks were sometimes deceiving, and that the tub end of his pipe was re: some inches higher than the intal end. All of which ten minutes’ work Wwith a commen spirit-level must h: ‘told him at the start-off. To the sav ing of mueh dirty work and a grievou: disappointment, There isn't an operation in farm! wherein the interplay of cause anc effect isn't always evident. There Isu't a ‘single result, whether of suc- cess or failyre. in any farm method which hasn’t a cause. On the other hand, there isn't any cause imaginable which will not, sooner or later, pro- duce its natural effect. This is true in the smallest details as emphatical- ly as in the largest proceedings. It isn't necessary for any farmer to put his unde logical syllogism. Nor to denote hi acquiescence therewith by a formai vesolution in the grange or the farm bureau. But it IS nccessary that he should ha that understanding and acquiescence in his very bones, if he is ever going to get out of farm- ing all there is in it The sort of farming which Unele Ike used to call farming “by guess and by gosh” isn't usuall factory either to the farmer or fo’his cuStomers.
