Keep the rounds of tho ladder
all good and stout. When you

If you want to know just how
good a farmer a man is, go way
back on his plnco where few eyes

going on there. If everything is
neat and shipshape there, you
may depend upon it that th
man is a good farmer. '
Tho best investment farmers
can make is in giving children a
good start in life. But that
doesn't mean a big farm and a
fine money outfit nlone. They
will need some help, some cour
age, some hopefulness, much
truthfulness, clean hearts and
pure minds considerably more
than money.
Here is the most approved
method of treating seed potatoes
to prevent a scabby crep: Soak
the whole seed for two hours in
a mixturo of ono half pint of
formalin (often called formaldo)
nnd fifteen gallons of cold water;
dry the seed, cut and plant in
ground that has not recently
grown potatoes.
Bad roads nnd scrubby stock
go together. The farmers who
set out to havo better stock sot
out at tho same time to havo
better roads, bet cr crops, more
