A farm is worth twice as much aa it ia worth in dollars and cents Slowly and steadily all day long nccomplixhfls more than to hurry and worry for a ahort time and then quit. One gets less tired for the same work accomplished. If there are any vacancies in the coru6eld, till them with beaua or something that can be turned to account. Keep every foot of your farm growing something that will help. Now don't find fault with your wife because she doesn't keep pie baked all the time. Anyway, too much pie is not healthful. An Indiana man died after eating sev en pies. Stir the earth. Remember that as agitation is the death of all po litical wrongs, so is it death to weeds. Mat) nver devised a more useful implement than the hoe in its various forms. Your gt , atest aid in the har vest is your faithful team. See to it that your horses are not pestered by IIihs, and that they are pioperly fed and watered. They have well earned humane treatment. Don 't be afraid of overdoing tho cultivation of the corn crop. When there is a lull 11. other workif the stalks are not so high that there is danger of kuockiug them over, run the cultivator through the field once more. If you want nice bright hay that the cattle will eat up clean, and that will do them the most good, don't wait till the blossoms have dropped off and the stalk is dry and hard; cut .your grass when it is crisp and juicy. You are not done with vour summer's work unless you have cut. out the brush and stuff from the cornei s of the fences. Per haps you have some that will cut a little grass. Save it all, you will need it before next spring. We have usually succeeded best in having our hay baled up as soon as the stacks are out of the sweat; then we sell at once. Aft er this time the hay shrinks a good deal, and more waste must be cut from the outside of the stacks. When the day is particularly hot and trying, aud things seem to go at cross purposes, think of something pleasant. Just draw a mental picture of the after-harvest outing that you and your good wife and your boys and girls are going to have. Remember that love sweetens labor. If a farmer is not better than other men, It is his own fault, for he lives closer to the heart of Na ture. He hears the voice of God every day, in sweet communion with the trees, the brooks, the sky. He beholds the glory God has painted; he sniffs fragrance from heaven. How can he help being good ? "It is an ill wind that blows no body good," and the hard times have eased the demand on the la bor market, so that it is now pos sible to get workers, and the farmer and bis wife may be able to tind some one t help, if it is only loug enough to tide over the extra work that harvest makes in tield aud house. Thoae whoBe work afield re quires their early rising, enjoy the most beautiful part of the day. The picture of daybreak il lumining the eastern skv, and the aun breaking through the mists of dawn, is one never to be for gotten, and it ia one ao illuaive that painters have tried in vain adequately to put it on canvaa. A tub or a barrel often drops down for want of a hoop. If ev erybody knew how eaay it is to make a hoop from a wire per- ! haps a piece of waste telegraph I wire often seen by the roadside the work would not wait. Simply bend the wire around the tub to measure it, remove it and twist it last. Theu drive it on like a hcop; drive it fast. It will not break, and being galvanized will last uidetinitely.

Dp.ak K.IHTou: Hoping that you and some of my friends may be (rind t hear frofti me, and to know where I am, I will write a feu- lines about "Sunny Kansas." I left home June 27, 1IH17, and arrived In Hloomington, III., on the 28th. Visited friends and relatives &" days. The country there la very nice. They raise nothing there but corn and oats. I left the 2:lrd of July for Kansas. Landed In Abilene the 24th. Abilene is the coun ty seat of Dickinson county. It has a population of :(,II58, 12 churches, 4 schools, and employs 24 school teach ers besides a business college and a Catholic academy. It is a very quiet business town has .; railroads, 2 mills, and several elevators I am making my home on a farm 8 miles northwest of Abilene. The country here is good for both stock and cm. raising. They raise mostly corn, wheat, oats and alfalfa One man can farm 50 acres of corn here as easily as one man can 10 acres In Ful ton county. Where corn was last year, all they need to do Is to cut the stalks and then go In with a lister, on which there is attachments by which the corn is planted at the same time. YVhen the corn Is about 2 to .'I inches high, they go over it with a 2-row.ed weeder. They cultivate from 18 to 20 acres a day. This work is all done by riding. There is no walking ma chinery here. If a man who was In this country 16 years ugo would come here now, he would not know how to farm. The land is farmed continually here When they want to give It a rest, they change It from corn to what or wheat to corn. My boss told me that hfl knows of one Held of 35 acres or. his father's farm, that ties been in corn for the last 15 years, and last year it averaged about 41) bushels 1 shelled .1 to the acre. It is in corn now but will be put In wheat this fall The wheat is put in here the same as back mere, only in larger areas. Tbe fields here average all the way from 40 to 100 acres. The wheat and oats here arc all in the shock now. My boss had out BO acres in wheat and oats, and we cut and shocked it in six days. I shocked more wheat this year than any one year In my life. One man that helped shock was from Pittsburg, Pa Shocking wheat and corn is the hardest job here, hands are scarce and wages good. They pay all the way from $2 On to $2.50 a day, aud month bauds from f 20 00 to $25.00. My I)osb and I broke 75 acres of prairie and put 50 acres of it In corn, and have out 110 acres In all doing all the work ourselves, we run 12 head of work horses, and 20 head with the colts. It was very wet here the latter purt of May and first of June. Thoy are having terrible llloods along tlie rivers. 1,000 acres of corn and wheat destroyed. One man who lives south of A bllene went out over his corn field In a boat and the water was ten feet deep. Many of the small bridges through the country were washed out. There was no freight came into Abilene for over two weeks. I think that If some of the Fulton county people that are battling the wolf away from the door were out here, they could do better. The country here is laid out in sec tions of one mile square und this is mostly divided Into four farms, and the buildings are all close to the road. There is mostly four sets of build ings to a section. We have rural mail service. Con solidated schools und telephones. I have been very busy since I have been here. 1 have only been without work 3 weeks, one week I spent in Pan Handle, Texas, and two weeks in Ok lahoma City, Okla., visiting Mr. aud Mrs. Geo. Cooper. Climate is very healthy here. I have only been sick once since I left home. Had a light uttack of appendicitis. Knclosud tind $1 for which you will renew my subscription for another year. 1 will close, hoping this will not Und the waste basket, I remain your friend, wishing you all a pros perous year. H. W.
