It requires as much talent to become a good farmer as to become a good doctor, farmers are boru as much as poets. 1 once knew a. farmer who.' began with nothing and ended with a 7,000- acre farm. That man had a genius for farming just as Napoleon had a genus for war, and was moresnc- eessful. Do you love farm work! - Then you have a talent for it and ougt to be a fermer. We are not apt to succeed at anything we do not love. To make our work effective we must love it.T We must think about it day and night. It must be a task to us, but a pleasure. We must not long for the siln to go down so we can quit work, but rather wish for more time in which to do more work I have fne4d who ii worth , a hundred thousand dollars. He could invest il I his . belongings in United States bonds and not' do- a particle of work, but he does not do so". He loves work and knows . . m h haoDier to continue -t To it work woald make hfjn misprabI When we love our work it is a pieasureYo study it and find out all about tfae begt way8 to do ifc; x read fche other da about one of Qur (jat i. - . - American steel kines. He bee an life as a poor boy ou a salary of ! $3 a week, but now his salary is half a million dollars a year. The steel king's name is wiiiia.m e'. Corey. He was not a very brigh t boy, and his father was able to give him only a common school education He bad no "pull" and no "backer" but his own indomitable energy and love for work, When he -was put into a job, he didn't watch the rlock for fear he would do EOiore , work than he was paid to do.

We can't all be great steel kings and we don't rant to be, but we may be something else that will be just as good or better for ns. If we have it in us, we may become a jrood farmer, which is just an ,de- Arable and possibly more, product ive of. happiness. . , '. . .. How may one become a good farmer! By loviug the work and finding out the best way fand then doing it with all of. b is might. What are some of the things to find out! One of the first is to know good land and all kinds, -of land when we see it. We murk get on none but good land ortelsemake it good. Anybody know? that' it does not pay to work Wiprodufttive land . It takes the same amount of work to make a wheut crop of ei ht bushels to the acre as to make one of thirty bviihels to the acre, lence the having good Another advantage in, knowing what land will do is that we may put fhe right kind of crop on it. Some farms are best" suited' for growing grain and others for stock raising. Others still are adapted to fruit or gardening. Some high, gravelly ridges are fit for little else than growing peacnes ana apples. In corn thev might bring you $10 an acre, while in frnit they would bring from f 200 to $500 an acre. " Again there is land that pays best in grass it may be for pas ture or it may be for making hay. Every kind of land is suited for spmething, and the wise farmej finds out what that something is and erows a crop of it. - Without great care the character of our land o - will change, or "run down," as we say. We must be able to detect this and provide against it. We must supply with manure, or grow- some croD like clover on it which . . will improve its fertility. What else must we know in order to succeed as farmers! Many things but. especially we should know all about live stock and stock breeding: It is very hard to keep up the fer tility of your land without plenty af stock on it. Then when you se lect stock you want to know which will pay best and choose those Don't be afraid to ask for infor mation when you don't know about a rhing. You remember that was the way that William E. Corey be came a great steel king He asked questions of those above him and fonnrt out all about his work. He went to niVht school and took stu dies that would help him along Yftu mav not be able to SO 10 school, but you can get every kind of farm publication that tells you how to makevour work a success. You can also visit successful farm - w ers and get information from them. You cau attend farmers institutes and conventions or the short course for farmers at your State agricult ure college. We must know how to use ma chinery to best advaLtage, In this respect we are much behind in the Smith. 'Manv of us cultivate our corn with a single horse plow and go backward and forward four t'imes in a row to do what might be done with a cultvator at one trin across the field, or even two rows might be cultivated at one --'ST , ' time. Think of the great saving a large cultivator would give us No wonder the Iowa farmers h. Thev use all kinds of maphinerv-an(i save the cost of hired labor. We use a traction engine with the thrasher perhaps six weeks in the year, while they make it do service practically all I the year through. It turns the land, cuts the meadow, draws loads saws wood, cuts corn, shreds corn or cuts it up for silo, churns the butter, grinds corn and cob meal, pumps' tfater, often runs a small custom mill, drags the road many other things that I cannot now think of. The Improved gasoline engine is of course, the one most conveniently nsed. We should also understand thor oughly all marketing of farm pro ducts and trading in order to sue- on t. need with farm business, w um- ever we have ta do we should learn to do it in the Ust and most pron- table M av. Then' our work will be a eucc es. , Na Race Suicide Here; x Peosaoola, Fla., July 12. Mr. and Mrs- T.

A Davie Man Gives Some Interesting Facts 'About the Great Metropolis Its Citizenship and Occupation. Written for The Record. New York City is the home of all nations. The Jew is here with his clothing, the Greek with candy, the Syrian with his. street organ, the Russian with his furs, the Chinaman with his laundry, the Armenian with tapestries, the Scandinavians with their tools, the German with his ships, his breweries and his . delica tessen, the French with their restau rants and their fashions, the Italian with his shovel and fruit stands, the j Irish as police and politician; and the negro as servant. Roman Catholic is the prevailing religion. Their Sunday attendance is about 320,000. The protestant is , over 100,000. It is estimated that one in every three persons attend religious service somewhere.' There is in New York City 1.500,000 foreign born residents.

In some of the tene ment houses are as many as 24 fami lies to a house, averaging from four to eight in a family. Most families keep in addition one or more board- ers, . Many, of these houses, with their dimly, lighted, halls and poor ventilation) are places of disease, wickedness and crime.

The editor of the paper was sick and wanted a vacation, Mark a greed tj fill his place while he took a rest, and the editor jumped ni the offer. Of course, being a humorist, the new editor bad to be funny, so he banded out to his readers such val uable misinformation as tbes: 'Turnips should never be pulled; it injures tbemv it is mnce better to send a boy up and let him shako the tree."
