thum to ko to tho latter city nt once
nnd, having determined tho acreage

In thin valley, to scloct their beet need
now, if they hopod to obtain any;
that many of the caNtcrn beet sugar

Farmers who have not closely
watched these advances in their bus

stupendous significance of this rad
ical uplift in ngTie.ulturnl nursuts.
The progressive fanner of todnv
however, will not hesitate to obtain
and apply these new implements of
accomplishment in the pursuit of
profits in his affairs on the ranch.
The rapid extension of the cultivated
area nnd the tremendous increase in
production, both bv reason of this
enlargement of tho field and the
greatly augmented vield to the acre,
will affect the markets in nil of the
staples and serve to enforce a change
in the methods of marketing them.
These new conditions must bo taken
into necount.
The Old nnd the New
After McCormiek had perfected his
reaper it required nearly ten years'
of trial, demonstration and argument
to sell the first machine in a volun
tary business transaction. When
Kemp first presented his manure
spreader, people laughed nt him for
more than it decade before they be
gan to realize thnt he had invented n
very valuable machine for tho fnnn.
In the first place, they did not know
geiienilly the value of manure as a
a
wise exchange, if tho acreage in each
ease will justify it.
The usefulness- of the tnictor
doesn't end theie. It may bo cm-

The fnnn tractor is a fana fixture.

The possibility of unions flunking

is opened by the Greek decision to
pennit the country to become n field

for example, that Mritish troops nl

the Ifirht detachments f Seihiaus

"Members of the diplomatic eoips

There is the greatest desolation oer
the entile territory occupied hv the
Germans and Itulgarinns. The Ilul

nnd merchants refuse to take Serbian
money except at n discount of ,"i0 per

Geniiun merchants already arc over

Scibui ncNcr again will be a I ice nn-

of fertilization ever used, and it is a
standard fertilizer today. In the long
list of inventions involving radical
changes in fnnn woik mid farm life,
as well as iu the saving of unneces
sary loss iu time, energy ami yield of
ciops, others might be named that
were received with nn equal decree of
credulity by those primitive tillers of

that with it one uuiii could perfoim

At once the fanner began to see
the great advantages of this machine.
It would relieve him of the necessity
of paying; .10 cents for corn, -10 cents
for oats mid flfl for hay, the whole
jear, for a barn full of horses that
worked not much moie than half the
time and yet ale three me.ils a day.
No moro would he he compelled to
wait on his tennis, following the same
monotonous lound of feeding, curry

ed by the old method. Then, if his
less tluitty neighbors were unable to
liuv tinclor he could take care of
their lields and inuko the machine
pay for itself, besides doing his own
fnnn woik.
Hut one of the greatest advantages
he found would be his ability to turn
up the xiiyiit soil left untouched bv
