THE CITIZEN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1913. PAGE SEVEN 000 MAKING FARM - Qoo FOlt city men who sock homes In tbo country and for farmers of small means who wish to own tlMj land wliich they till tho lit tlo farm solves a Berious problem of life. The choice of location Is Impor tant. To get the beat results it Is nec essary to bo near at least one good town. In modern conditions farming has to bo made a business proposition. ETen the city man who wishes a restful country home ts seldom averse to hav- Ing his land show a balance of profit. AH farming ought to pay better than It does, and the operations of any one owning a small tract of land ought to show what may bo realized by apply ing business methods to agriculture. As land Increases In value Intensive farming will come more into voguo. The man of ordinary means who is getting started in agriculture must try to make forty acres accomplish what ho would have used eighty or a hun dred acres for In an earlier day. Tho up to date plan of running a lit tle farm is to have such a variety of products that tho worlt is evenly dis tributed over tho year and there is something to seireach woolc or month. A farmer with fort' acres operating on tho principle of diversification can show results as follows: Fifty hogs, gross fTOO MUk from eight cows 1,000 Flvo hundred bushels of potatoes.... 400 Eggs and poultry 000 t A study of tlio market and its methods Is a very important mat- . course of reading which the farmer maps out for himself. Selling is Just as important as raising a crop. fi.Ti.TuT..T..f T......T.lT.lT.l,.iTl EVER TRY SWISS CHARD? It's a New VegetaWo Here, but It Has Many Good Points. A few years ago Swiss chard was scarcely known in tho United States, but it is now grown in thousands of homo gardens and is often seen on truck .farms and in market gardens, says Professor R. Ii. Watts in the American Agriculturist. Tho Italians of our large cities are especially fond Photograph by Long Island agricultural experiment station. SWISS CHABD. of It, and tho demand is increasing among Americans. Tho leaves are val ued when used as greens, and the leaf stems are excellent when cooked and served, on toast in tho same way as asparogus. Tbo plants are fully as hardy as cab bage or lettuce. In tho north It is not uncommon for them to escape Injury from cold until severe winter weather begins. In tho milder Boctlons tho roots may bo wintered safely by cutting the plants almost to the ground and mulch ing heavily with straw, strawy ma nure, pine needles or other material which will prevent nlternato freezing and thawing. Tho seed is usually sown in the oien ground wliero tho plants nro to stand all summer. Chard is an easy crop to start in hotbeds or greenhouses, trans planting into cold frames and finally into tlio llekl. Tho crop attains a mar ketable size probably a month earlier If glass Is used in starting tho plants. These require practically tho same treatment in tho botbed "and tho cold frame ns cabbago and may bo set In tho field Just as early, provided the plants are properly handled. Fresh Manure Is Beet. When tho fact is considered that it takes nearly two tons of fresh barn yard manure to mako one ton of rotted manure, owing to loss by evaporation and leeching, it may bo soon that much of tho fertilizing matter originally con tained is lost in tho rotting process and that when fresh there are more tons (rad so more fertilizing material to mako use of. Kansas Farmer. Ueo For an Old Buggy Wheel. A very good way to uso an old buggy wheel is to attach it on an ash at the outsldo of a long farm gate so that it will roll when the gate Is opened either vny.

BOWSFIELD ooO It Is cosy to vary tuts program" by raising a pnn of colts each season and producing a quantity of fruit, vegeta bles, honey, etc. A farmer can accom plish as mnch on forty acres by such diversification as he con with' grain crops or n dairy on 100 or era 200 acres. On a place of forty acres in the Chi cago district one season's profits above family expenses were: Poultry and eggs $400 Fruit and vegetables 300 Grain and ha; 500 Twonty-flvo hogs 450 Span of horses 275 Honey from sixteen hlvca , 140 J2.0C5 In the latter Illustration there Is no dairy. This feature involves more hard and constant labor than any other, but with the question of help settled a dairy of ten or twelve cows is a good thing. Pork raising Is profitable. I have found rape, artichokes and. carrots valuable crops for liogs. Tho artichoke Is .especially hardy and pro lific, providing nn early field fodder. Late In the season n field of pens Is n good thing. Just before tlio finishing up with corn. Hogs thrive nicely on alfalfa or any kind of clover. It pays to get sklm mllk or whey from tho factories nnd tablo garbage from dwellings or hotels. Poultry as well as pigs do well on this kind of feed. I have raised hogs to 250 or 300 pounds at ton months at a cost of $3 or less. . . . ' . t. y . r . . f i. r r i ' t nTi rivv nvrn h I n n I n vt It is very essential to make money, but It should .not bo done at a sacrifice of the fertility that Is in the land. The thing to do Is to raise crops that will enrich tho land at tlio same time as they enrich tho farmer. ............. ........... n i j r i i n n n i n ith piTTi j D0NT LOSE YOUR LABOR! Planting Impure and Poor Alfalfa Seed Means Time and Work Gone. It wont bo long now until farmers begin to plant alfalfa, and wouldn't they like to know whether it is pure? Only one thing on earth will settle that doubt, and tliat Is to test tho Bced tho best seed obtainable. Tho testing can bo done nt homo too. It takes only a simple apparatus, con sisting of two pieces of flannel or of blotting paper about six inches square, between which nro placed 100 seeds. The whole, placed between two plates, should be kept moist, but not "sopping" wet, nnd tho seeds which have sprout ed counted every day. At the end of six days the total number of Bpcoutod seeds will represent fairly well tho ger minating power of Uio sample. Good alfalfa seed should give a percentage of at least 80. Does the sample contain a large num ber of brown seeds? If so It would bo safer not to use it Tho brown seeds may sprout in tho apparatus Just described, but fail cnirely to make plants when put in the ground out of doors. Many farmers sow screenings or seed which Is little better than screenings and try to moke up for lock of qual ity by doubling tho quantity. This may do well enough where land Is cheap, but thero Is too much danger anywhere o getting a poor stand or sowing tho land with weeds. Kansas Stato Agricultural College. Device For Pulling Saplings, l'w removing bushes and small trees tho device Illustrated herewith has proved very satisfactory. It consists of n five or six foot stick of round, tough wood such as hickory and, say, three Inches in diameter, with a singletree at tached at ono end and a trace chain at tho other. Tho chain is passed around the sapling and hooked to tho pole. While a horse pulls the roots are cut with an nx on tho opposite side, nnd soon tho tree comes out with a rush. American Agriculturist "Going to Law." By a recent decision of tho appellate division of tho supremo court of New York It has been ordered that oleomar garine makers must not uso artificial coloring. Neither may they uso Ingre dients which will glvo a color to their 6tuff resembling butter. Can persons renting farms by the year sell or dispose of hen or horse manure they havo paved tho last year? Is asked. Tho Rural New Yorker says: As a rule, unless somo special arrange ment is made, such manure Is consid ered real estate and Is to bo left on I ho farm. A contract always Involves an offer mado by ono party and an acceptance of tho offer by tho other party. An offer which Is not accepted by tho party to whom It is mado can bo with drawn by tiro party who mado It He can withdraw tho offer at any time before acceptance. The Little Authoress By WILLARD BLAKEMAN Walter Ewlng had Just that kind of suavity that is required of tho editor ef n magazine. When authors came in with their manuscripts ho would grasp them cordially by the hand, snillo upon them, ask them to be seated and listen to their long talks about what they had to offer. One day the prettiest little girl in the world was admitted to Mr. Ewlng's sanctum. She came In with a smile not only to beat the ono with which he greeted her, but in slang phrase, "to boat the band." He drew up a chair for her close to his rosewood desk and relieved her at once of a package she carried by which he know her for an authoress. Then he brought his ex pressive eyes upon her as if to say: "Do tell me what I can do for you. I am dying to servo you." Then she began to talk. About what? Everything her bashfulness about entering tho field of literature, the great responsibility that must nec essarily rest upon editors, what won derful powers of discrimination they must have, the characters in her work, a novel; her difficulty in finding a motif and tlio many times she had rewritten certain parts. For half an hour she talkod, tlio editor listening rather to her swoot voice than what sho said ho had heard it all a thousand times be foresometimes fancying that sho was a bird that had flown into his sanctum to rest him from the hardest work In tho world that of reading ono manu script after another through tho long day. When sho went away ho had prom ised her that in order to give her story especial attention ho would take it homo with him nnd read it far away from the interruptions constantly oc curring during business hours. For Bomo tlmo after she hnd gone ho sat, with her warble still sounding sweetly In his oars, then began to write in bluo pencil the word "return" on the covers of a pile of manuscripts on his desk, throwing each into a basket bo sldo him, such as is commonly used as a receptacle for soiled linen. That ovening, true to his promise, be took tho manuscript homo with him, intending to read It at an early date; but whether tho Uttlo authoress had mado a deeper Impression on him than the bundle or whether ho had been so taken with her that he was in no hur ry to get rid of hor, ho put off its ex amination from day to day. Now and again sho would call upon him. He would greet her with the same affa bility as before, telling her that ho was deferring tho examination of her novel till ho felt in a mood to appre ciate its merits. Tho more delicate the stylo and sentiment in a story the more difllCrUlt It was of detection. Doubtless within another week ho would feel Inspired to read tho manu script and decide upon its merits. Tho patience, tlio good nature, of tho little authoress were Inexhaustible. Sho appreciated tho editor's kindness to her, a stranger, and hoped he would not hurry. Ho invited her to drop in occasionally, slnco ho would always bo glad to talk with her about her liter ary aspirations. One dny when the editor felt "in. spired" to read tho manuscript ho had taken bomo he looked for it In his room and did not find It Calling his landlady, ho made inquiries and learn ed that sho had gathered up somo "old truck," among them a lot of paper dono up in a bundle, and It had been taken away by tho scavenger. Tbo editor turned pale. Tho manu script of tho little authoress had doubt less gone to tho dumping ground, whence it would not bo recovered. lie wrote her at once to know if sho had another copy, slnco he wished a friend on whose literary Judgment ho greatly relied to read tho story and had not yet finished It himself. She replied that sho had glTen him tho only copy In existence. Tho six months that followed were wearing on tho editor. For that period ho put tho little nuthoress off with ex cuses. Then, thero being no other way out of tho trouble at least so ho put It to himself ho asked her to marry him. When sho refused him sho took away his last prop. ETo had a faint hope that tho estrangement which usually comes between a man who has been refused and tho lady who has refused him would lead tho llttlo authoress to keep away from him and the lost manuscript would in time be forgotten. But sho continued to call for it in per son, always with tho samo good natur ed smile, noiler chiding him for the delay, and overy tlmo sho left him he assured her that by tho time sho came again ho would surely bo ready to give her his literary opinion on her work and did not doubt that it would be ac cepted by the magazine. Tbo lady's refusal of him mado him cognizant of tho fact that sho was much more to him than ho had sup posed. After a month moro of mental distress ho confessed to tho loss of the manuscript and that ho couldn't pos sibly llvo without her. She claptfed her bands In glee. "And 1, too, havo a confession to make," she eald. "Friends of mlno had sent you manuscripts which they proved, by sticking together certain of tho leaves, wore returned without having been read. It occurred to mo to try blank paper on you." However, sho concluded to forgive him and accept him. And now sho is helping him to git rid of manuscripts without reading them.

A professional gentleman, who was accustomed to taking his morning glasa, stopped into a saloon, and go ing up to tho bar called for whisky. A seedy individual stopped up to him and said: i say, squire, can't you ask an unfortunate fellow to Join you?" He was annoyed by tho man's famil iarity and roughly told him, "I am not in tho hnblt of drinking with tramps," Tho tramp replied: "You need not bo so cranky and high-minded, my friend. I venture to say that I am of Just as good family as you ore, havo Just na good an education, and before I took to drink was Just as respectable ad you are. What la more, I always .knew how to net tho gentleman. Take my word for It, you stick to John Barloycorn, and he will bring you to Just tho samo place I am." Struck with his words, tho gentle man set down bis glass and turned to look at him. His eyes wero blood shot, hl3 face bloated, his boots mls mated, his clothing filthy. "Then was it drinking that mado you like this?" "Yes, it was, and It will bring you to tho samo if you stick to it" Picking up his untouched glass, he poured tho contents upon tho floor and said, "Then it's time I quit" and left tho saloon, never to enter It again. MUCH DRINKING IN COLLEGES President Schurman of Cornell Univer sity Has Come Out Flatfooted for Total Abstinence. President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell has come out flatfooted for prohibition In his school of learning. Alcoholism among tho students, ho says Is on tho increase, and should bo stopped before it goes any further. While President Schurman does not Bay that drinking among tho students inevitably brings disastrous or serious consequences, he does bellevo that tho man who is trying to get tho fullest value from his studies should be a to tal abstainer. Therefore, the leaders among tho upper classmen should nev er bo seen in any drinking resort, be cause they Bet tho example and tho fashion for tho entire institution, and their word Is, in somo respects, almost law. If a young student finds that his social position or his personal prestlgo is strengthened by drinking, bo will drink, no matter what the effect is up on his work. Tho situation at Cornell merely em phasizes tho ancient fact that tho ma jority of young men do not drink through any great appetite for liquid allurement, but because it becomes al most an essential part of their social duties. WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST. "Women and children flrstl" This Is tho law of tho sea; But why not make It tho role wherever a man may be? Let It become the law where roisterers quench their thirst; Emblazon It over the bar "The women and children first' The man who Is etaggerlnB home, having squandered his weekly wnga. May dream of heroic deeds and his name on the printed page; He may long for the chance to prove, where worse has come to the worst That ho has the strength to Bay: "The Women and children first" But why on the sea alone, or only when dangers rise? Why. not where the lights are bright why not where temptation llesT Does he who is boasting where ha lingers to quench his thirst Bee, shining over the bar: "The women and children flratT" The world will have fewer cares and there will bo few that sigh, And few will sit In the dark and hope lessly wondor why. And few will bemoan their fate or fancy themselves accurst When all men obey the law: "The women and children first" & E. Klser in Record Herald, Chicago. Customs Confiscate. Wine. Tho Paris customs authorities re cently seized 8,000,000 ljters of adul terated wino nnd throw it into the Canal du Midi.
