oils, Tolls Siiiiic I'liiln Trill lis and
Tells Thorn Plainly.
Tile times are changing. No better
proof of tJiis oft-repeated assertion Is
needed l.liiin tin; ut.titiul of 11k? fanner
toward his advisers. There was a time
win an InstituLo conductor, or a col
lege professor, or tho editor of a farm
journal could throw a film of fact
nbout a mountain of hot nlr und get
away with It. Hut tlio day of tlio big
bluff and of tlio big bluffer Is passing.
The crowd listens to the man w ho has
Homotlilug to say, and who says It
without any frills. This Is shown by
the Increasing simplicity and value of
the farm bulletins, and by the practi
cal work dono by those Institute work
ers who continue to hold tliolr place
with the people.
In fact the world has discovered
something new; and that Is that If a
man knows a thing If ho really knows
It ho can toll It la simple, everyday
languago.
This pricks tho bubble! If a "pro
fessor" nowadays gets up to hldo his
Ignorance of practical things his big
words and his talk about thlgs In
general and about nothing In particu
lar at once expose him. The public,
which expects him to lnow some
things, and not all things, expects him
to know koiiio tilings so wi ll that ho
can tell them by their first names,
and talk about them In a usable way.
The same thing applies to the farm
paper. There Ih tt weeding out process
going on. It. either Is or Is nut meet
ing today's need. In a time when rail
road systems arc managed by men who
practically live n-wheel, and men of
large business affairs think nothing of
a thousand mile journey, the editor of
ii real farm journal, with his people
and their Interests scattered over n
half million square miles of territory,
can no longer wrlle of crops and stock
out of dlin-past-or-perliaps-never ex
perlinee, while reclining In a swivel
chair In a cool office. Just as the
good fanner frequently visits every
part of his farm, bo tlio editor of a
real farm paper visits tlio territory
through which his Journal circulates.
The policies of such a paper are ham
mered into shape through act mil con
tact with conditions. It faces living
Issues. It anticipates coming needs.
It Is tho business of Its editor to be
thinking ahead nun, three, ten, thirty
years In advanc.6 of tlio present mo
ment, In order that tho papor, tho
policy of which ho directs, may bold
real, usable, present-day valuo to ItB
random.
Tills Is the sort of a paper you are
now reading. This Is tho way It Is
edited. It looks forward to stimdy
growth through tlio years to come,
only upon the condition that It shall
continue to be helpful in Die making
of a broader and better every-dny
home and farm life. It tries to be
practical In what It says, and to say
tho right thing at the proper time. II
lias too many big things In view to
8Hnd Its tlmo boasting over the past,
of Printing and Kngravlng, Is the In
vontor who developed the machine for
tlio special use of the government
printing plant.
Printing I .'.DIM) Stamps a Minnie.
It is a fact not generally known that
the United States has at Washington,
I). ('., olio of the largest ami best
equipped printing plants In tills or
uny oilier country. Undo Sam may
lie safely said to hold the world's rec
ord as a printer not only In sl,e of
plant, number of employes ami extent
of output, but also In np-lo-dulo sci
entific manngenient, efficiency ami
economy.
An Interesting example of what tills
Bort of modern efficiency means Is a
machine which prlniH, gums ami per
forates 12.000 postage stamps a min
ute. Figuring on nn eight hour day,
this Is a production of 5 "llO.eiht two
cent stamps, worth $1 l.'i.Sim, as a day's
Work for tile two operators required
on the machine. The slumps are shot
out 'here Is noo oilier way to ex
press It at the rate of 70 feet a min
ute, 'I'lils means over slv miles of
postage stamps a day.
The machine , lliulnatis I',) separate
operations required by the previous
method of printing ami has effected a
saving of per cent In cost. The
whole apparatus, which is three feet
wide, twenty-five feet, long and seven
feet. high. Is driven by a Crockor
Whooler motor. One man and a girl
are able to operate tho entile machine
and the perforating device connected
with It. Mr. II. 11. Stleliney, mechani
