Notes of the Farm The farm, above all other places, furnishes the best opportunity for developing a strong, vigorous man hood and womanhood because of the healthfulness of its surroundings (If they are not healthful It is generally the farmer's own fault) because of the opportunity it affords for the de velopment of habits of industry and because of the small opportunity which it furnishes for developing the habits of extravagance which ruin so many of the sons of the well-to-do. It always has been and always will be the preferred breeding place for strong meen and pure women. Ed itor Henry Wallace. O. C. Barker of Barberton, Ohio, has a pure bred Guernsey herd of 280 animals and is selling no fe males, as he wishes to have on his farm of 3,200 acres a herd of 400 registered Guernsey cows.

Farming is more than getting good crops and money in the bank it is living up to our best and be ing good, kind and unselfish all along the road. Some boys have have been soured on the farm by having the sheep or the colts given them taken away and sold for the general good. It hits a boy pretty bard to have this done to him.

The farmer who is not afraid to invest money wisely for the up building of his farm is the man to whom the farm shall bring Its best rewards. It is a place always of safe investment, especially . if we direct our labor and money toward In creasing the productive power of our farms. An old financier once said that "it requires a good deal more brains to Invest money safely than it does to make It." So we would say that it requires a good deal more brains" and faith and study to up build and increase the productive value of a farm than to decrease it And so the farm always portrays the character and ability and faith of the farmer who manages it. It is a standing advertisement of the man behind it. Hoards' Dairyman. A most interesting and promising farmers' class or club has been start ed in the country near Arthur, !n Moultrie county. It includes both men and women, meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the town hall. It began work Nov. 7 with 18 or 20 members and the attendance has increased. At first only a few women joined, but in December several more came in. The subjects discussed in the first few meetings were hogs and corn, and so thoroughly Interested were the reople that they couldn't close the session until about 11 o'clock and a motion to make 9 o'clock the closing hour was voted down. This bids fair to be a very successful farmers' club of the right sort. The president is L. D. Seas3 and the sec retary Miss Bertha E. Seass. The club is called the Farmers' Clas3 of meal is belnc held responsible for the ravages of the" newly discovered and often fatal malady. To offset its 111 effects, a most rigid Inspection Is proposed. Tennessee has, according to the official statement of the board of health, 2,500 pellagra sufferers. It Is claimed that this number Is In significant as compared with other southern states, where the extent of the disease's ravages has been kept from the publlo press, lest immigra tion be retarded. One southern state Is credited with having 60,000 pellagra patients, while two or three other states are said to have 10,000 each. Nashville Tennesseean. There should be no conflict be tween the real Interests of the land lord and the tenant. Neither should there he conflict between capital and labor, but there Is.' The landlord wants the largest net income possi ble from his Investment. To secure this, expenses for buildings, fences and repairs must be kept down. The tenant wants to get the most out of the soil this year, for he knows not that he shall occupy the land the next season. Thus, it Is the old story of short sighted selfishness which constitutes the only conflict between landlord and tenant. It Is almost the universal opinion that many land owners, working their own lands, instead of tenants working the lands of city landlords, best fa vor the development of a successful agriculture. But as a matter of fact, It must be admitted that the splen did agricultural development of Eng land and Scotland, for instance, is largely a tenant system of farming. Probably the best arrangement is small farms owned by those who till them; but the next best system Is a long tenant tenure, or long term lease. In England there are many prosperous tenant farmers whose forefathers for three or more gener ations have tilled the same land as tenants on which they are now pros pering, also as tenants. The Pro gressive Farmer. Few thing are more Interesting than the enthusiasms of the farmer. Doubtless, if we knew all there Is to be known about farming; doubtless, if there were no varying harvests be cause of the vagaries of the weather; doubtless, if we knew precisely what the market demands and what the market price would be for this year and every year; doubtless, if farm ing was on the safe foundation of visible and demonstrated cause and effect then, doubtless, life would be a very uninteresting adventure, destitute of the extreme Joy of en thusiasms. We have to take our pleasures and our compensations wherever we can find them. A gen uine enthusiasm is to be courted and nourished. It really makes little difference where the enthusiasm starts.
