BRAIN WORK COUNTS. The farmer must get their bend into their work. I do not. advise you to work longer hours lu the day or to work any hard er while you are at It. .My text for the men on the farm Is to get lu more head work. Some men seem to slave away many hour a dny and yet accomplish very little. 1 questloii If these men read the Bible. Tho Bible aaya. "A man ahull earn his brend by the aweat of hi brow." Most men leave their head out of the game and make a BMC living by the sweat of their backs and the aweat of the backs of all the rest of the family. Professor A. B. Chamberlain, St ratll. Minn WHAT ONE MAN HAS DONE With "Wornout" Land Another Might Try Also With Suooeaa. A farm of 100 acres, twenty-five miles out of Philadelphia and with good railroad facilities, w-aa sold for taxes some years ago because the land waa worn out. It had a thin, gravelly soil. Most of the Innd lies on the side of a ridge nnd haa a moderate slope, but ii I "-in five acres are level meadow, on which a fine spring la situated. A tnamei gnriicner purchased the farm at u tax sale II. cut trenches about SK feet long and feet wide .hi. .ss tlie meadow, the hottoma of which were covered with gravel, nnd diverted the spring water Into them. A stand of watercress was then stnrt ed, and by fall It covered tho trenches, and the owner began to cut nud ship It to the Philadelphia markets. Aa cold weather approaches tho cress Is protected from frost by rough houses built over the trenches. The north sides of the houses are of Inch honrds. against which corn fodder la stacked to keep out the wind The eouth aides are of glnas. Tho heat of the Sun and the warmth of the spring water are aiifllclelit to keep the cress growlnr rapidly nil winter without' resort to nrtlllclitl heat. A tortloti of the bgdl cut onci- cadi day. and In about ten days It is again ready for cutting. The return tho tlrst winter were about tint) a day from the creaa. A narrow atrip f soil between the back of the house nnd the edge of the trench I Icvoi.al to violets and has proved very profitable. tin tlie remainder of the farm French lilacs are set alM.nt four feel apart and kept well cultivated for four year. The bushes are then taken up nnd forcil to bloom about the Christinas holidays. A handsome prof it Is realleti h year, and stc.iy employment Is given to a largo mini her of men.

PRODUCING BABY BEEF PBOFITABLY On $200 an acre land A. Mofflt Sons of Mcchnnlcsvllle. In., aucceaa fully raise and mature beef cattle. They carry this on nnd fnrm for tho very good reason that they find It -cry remunerative, saya the Ornpge Jmhl Farmer. A few years ago theae gentlemen saw the handwriting ou the wall scarcity of young cattle, scarcity of beef nnd high price. They prci'sml themselves to garner greater proljta by establishing a herd of cattle and studying the beat methods of produc ing ha by beef, the most profitable nnd economical method of mnturlirg BSSi cattle If thoroughly undcratood It la a work that can he curried ou lu any part of the country where there Is pas ttire. hay and corn, plus knowledge.
