"I wouldn't go near him, for he Is the hardest man In town!" "Is that so?" "Ob. yes. Indeed He will skin you out of your last cent If he get a chnnce."

Certain pints wetv drilled In thickly so that no ears would develop, other pints were planted with the rows -10 Inches apart nnd with the plants close together In the row, and other pints were planted In hills from 3 to 3V, feet apart.

Treatment of the Hired Man. Because a man Is working for wages on a farm or anywhere else It Is not necessary to make him feel that he Is a menial or a mere machine to be wound up every day to run for so many hours. I never worked as a farm hand, but during some ten years or more in business houses In the city I only had ono employer who gave me to understand that I was nothing but a machine to run ten hours a day. I only stayed with him a year; another year would have killed me. Every mnn In whose employ I was. this one excepted, made me feel that I bad some responsibility outside of the gen eral routine of my work. These men would discuss methods nnd ask advice, nnd It wns no unusual thing for me to be left In full chnrge of the business for weeks, and In one Instance several mouths. In every day I was made to feel that the success of the business somewhat depended upon me. I was not only to do a certain amount of work, but was expected to have eyes iijid ears open and be ever on the alert to further the Interests of the firm, and that I succeeded In so doing Is one of the hnppy memories of life. If our farmer community would ele vate the position of the farmhand by the same kind of treatment that the successful business man of to-day cm The Hare Crxe.

Three years ago more than -100 persons In tho country kept Belgian hares. Now not half a dozen keep them, nnd those who did keep them could not be persuaded to try them again. I write this ns mat ter of history. When foolish bare breeders tell about the hares being bet ter and more profitable than fowls, they nre digging their own financial graves.

According to the report of the United States Commission of Agriculture. New York State consumes as many eggs as England, both disposing of $18,000.- 000 worth of hen fruit annually. T he United States yearly consumes foOO.v 000,000 worth of eggs and poultry. Canada exports $30,000,000 worth of eggs annually.
