Now It didn’t take Peter long to find a little path, for there was one leading right away from one end of the old log. It wasn't much of a path. Of c u rs e such a little fellow ns Short T all wouldn't make much of a path It was very much like one of the pri vate little paths of Whltefoot the Wood Mouse. In fact Peter would have supposed that this was Just what It waa, had It not been for what Short T a ll had said. It was only about hnlf an Inch wide. “He told me to follow his path and we might meet," said Peter to him self, there being no one else to talk to. So he started to follow the little path.

One reason for this Is that they want to guide the stroke and not being con fident of their swing turn but little. They take the club back with the cus tomary wrist and arm movement but allow the left side to remain where It was for fear of destroying their balance. The proper method Is to let the left shoulder turn naturally as the left arm is taking the club back until the backswing is complete. In some cases the player’s back Is practically at right angles to the ob jective. MacDonald Smith affords a fine example of this turn and at the top of the swing Is set to hit from the Inside out with perfect balance and freedom. In this position full use can be made of the left arm. Smith Is a firm advocate of a complete pivot and lays the blame for much of the slicing on this failure to turn enough. e. 1131.

An or dinary pitchfork la bound alongside the down pipe of the silo filler, the tines pointing downward and extend ing perhaps a foot or sixteen Inches below the end of the spout Just above the tines a pole is attached to the fork by means of a snap, ring, wire, clevis, or other convenient means. This pole extends to the re movable doors of the silo, from which one man directs the stream of fodder about as necessary. The resulting al lage has been as good as that tramped by as many as five men. Similar re sults are reported from time to time by other farmers. Many Fanners Lose Land There are about 0,300,000 farms in the United States. Of this number 2,520,000 carry mortgages. The “cas ualties" among farmers are high, es pecially In the last few years. It Is estimated that 220,500 farm owners necome renters yearly, and today one of every six farmers has been demot ed to the rank of renter.
